HUMMEL'S APPEAL.
Lawyers Fight to Keep Out of Prison
Is Revived.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 8.-When the
court of appeals convened today for a
session of at least six weeks it was ex-
pected that the second case reached
on the order calendar would be the ap-
peal of Abraham H. Hummel, the well
known New York lawyer, recently con
victed OF conspiracy in connection with
the Morse-Dodge divorce tangle from
an order of the appellate division, first
department, entered June &c. 1905.
The order denied Hummefs motion
for a writ of prohibition restraining
Justice Davy and others from the
prosecution of certain criminal actions,
quashing an alternative writ and Civ
ing District Attorney jerome authority
to proceed against Hummel on indict-
ments found against him, two for sub
Ornation of perjury and one for con-
spiracy; all three in connection with
the DOdge-MCrse case
Hummel alleges that the indictments
found against him in January last are
null and void and any action under
them should be restrained by writ Of
prohibition. He contends that the in
dfctment should not stand. because he
was called as a witness before the
grand jury which afterwards found the

ARRESTED FOR BURGLARY.
John Wolf of Burlingame Charged
With RObbing Drug Store.

John Wolff of Burlingame was arrested
at 4 o'clock this morning by Sergeant
Gardiner and Officer jenkins on a charge
of burglary. They say that they can cas-
lily convict him.
The robbery occurred at the Sim drug
store at 1901 Kansas avenue. A window
was broken. the place entered through
the hole and the cash register, containing
about 81 So was carried out and placed on
the sidewalk The officers were notified
that a robbery was to take place BY Bert
Fishburn, the hackman who was impli-
Gated in the Johnson hOld-up several
months ago, for which Winder. the rob
Der. was convicted and sent to the peni-
tertiary.
Fishburn told the officers that Wolff
was going to rob the store and had tried
to get him to assist. The officers at once
started for the place and caught Wolff
near the scene. They also found the
broken window and the cash register
which they brought to the police station
This morning the officers requested
Frank Sim. one of the prOprietors of the
place, to secure state warrant for
Wolff, who is being held at the police
station. Sim replied that it was the bust
ness of the officers to make the complaint
and the police refuse to give up the cash
register until the owner makes the COM
plant himself.
Wolff, who is about 50 years of age, has
been in trouble before. The police say
that ne frequently comes to town and
eashes checks which he has forged on his
mother, who is wealthy.

Indictment against him. He alleges
that he was sworn against his protest,
that he was not only coerced into an
swering many of the questions put to
him. but was compelled to admit that
his answers to others might tend to in
criminate him.
In his brief HummeI alleges that Tin
one instance there was a threat to
present him to the court for refusing
to answer a question on the ground
that it might tend to incrimiuate him. -
The district attorney holds that the
indictments against Hummel are valid
and should stand
Hummel was recently convicted on
an indictment charging him with con-
spiracy. He was sentenced to one year
in the penitentiary and in addition was
fined $500. If the court of appeals
should invalidate the indictments the
judgments of conviction already OBJ
tanned would be set aside. but if the
court upholds the Indictments it is be-

and Hoods way is not to leave to

tell you that he hung on to the old
chap day by day, until it got too hot
for him and he was sacked, but even
then old Kesteyen kept his tongue
quiet. 1t wasn't to his interest to
speak the truth, and Hood and he, as
I understood, were as civil as oranges.
Mr.. Greatorex can tell you. But then
came that affair of the paper, and If it
hadn't been for your sharp ears, Mr..
Greatorex, he'd have got what he want
ed even if he had had to stab the old
man to his reins. But that failure
threw him back, and that was when he
wrote to me and beat up the Greeks.
ssWell, Hood fetched the cart up
at the inn, and there was that mess

had got over my Greeks. That was

came by place with a cavern, where
the Greeks were in hiding. There we
slowed cart and all. 1t was a snug
hole, but I've never yet fathomed the
hold that Hood had over those beasts
that they let the STUFF alone. But they
did, and that's one to the man. boot

that hole we lay for day or two, and
the news came that the police were

CHAPTER XIX.

~ VOR CASTLE, as have explained
more than once, was perched up
on the heights that crown the
western precincts of the GWent.
Beyond it and still farther west the
forest descended into neither valleys
that led toward district of mines and
furnaces. Sercombe and Hood might
have secreted the treasure in any
square yard of this broken tract of
many miles. The chance of happening
upon it save by the guidance of some
clew was extremely slight, nor did we
know in which direction to look for a
clew. From our eyrie on the saddle of
the hill we looked out across the east
ern valley. In any Granny of that
rough and precipitous forest the gold
and the jewels and Sercombe's Greeks
might be at this moment slowed in
waiting for a safe conduct across the
hills.
BEAT the Gwent!'' had been Shep-
pard's phrase, and that was very much
what our expedition must come to.
We descended the wooded slopes upon
the northern face Of the gorge, drop
ping slowly from the castle. Few
roads traversed this region = one, In
parts but an open track, running the
length Of the spur into the plain, the
others merely tracks of grass crossed
and recrossed by footpaths through the
great wilderness. The event was very
sparsely settled, and the only tenants
Of these regions were few wood cut
ters scattered among the huts through
out the forest. 1t was into this silence
and desoiation that we plunged in the
early hours of the night. Darkness
hung about us, conveying our steps
with blacker shadows from the copses.
At first progress was leisurely and the
walking Through a plantation Of pine)
fairly easy. We had designed to strike
a road that ran over the spur south
ward, mainly out Of whim Of Shep-
pard's that he could determine If any
carriage had passed that way.
