PROSECUTION DISAPPOINTED.
Two Witnesses Fail to Back What
They Told the Grand Jury.

San Francisco, July 16.-The state
suffered a setback in the Glass trial
',day, when two of its important wit
'ses, both employees of the telephone
pany, failed to stand by the evil
.ence given by them before the grand
jury.
During the examination of Mary
Ryan, Halsey's stenographer, Heney
and Delmas had a wordy clash in
which Heney said he would meet Del
mas outside, Delmas responded by
laughing at Heney.
John Krause. assistant to Halsey,
was the first witness. He had a poor
memory. The only admission secur-
ed from him was that he saw Mayor
Boxton in Halsey's office a number
of times. Miss Ryan's memory was
equally bad. Heney could get moth
ing from her to prove that Glass or
dered Halsey to bribe the supervisors.

PLEADS GUILTY; HELD
To CIRCUIT COURT
VIM. WooIford, Charged With
Grand Larceny, Placed
Under $500 Bond.
is AFRAID OF OHIO LAW.
MUCH PREFERS TO TAKE HIS
PUNISHMENT IN INDIANA-HE
CLAIMS TOM A GOOD
NEW YORK fr.at

William Woolford, who was arrest
ed by Officer Golden Saturday night
in a box car at the Panhandle yards,
was arraigned in the city court, charg-
ed with grand larceny. Woolford en-
tered plea of guilty and was bound
over TO the circuit court under $500
bond.
Woolford had two bicycles with
him. each valued at SIS. at the time of
his arrest, and he admitted that he
and his partner had stolen them at
Bradford. Prosecutor Jessup ex-
planned to the court that bringing
stolen goods into the state was equiva-
lent to charge of larceny.
Woolford is willing enough to plead
guilty to the charge that has been
placed against him by Chief Bailey as
he does not desire to be sent back to
Ohio. where he is wanted on two
charges. grand larceny and burglary
The Ohio penalties for these two of
lenses are much more severe than in
this state and in choosing Indiana jus
tice Woolford believes he has selected
the lesser of the two evils.
Wanted at Bradford.
Woolford is wanted at Bradford for
grand larceny. having stolen the two
bicycles in that place Woolford con-
tossed to Chief Bailey that he and his
partner, who succeeded in escaping
Saturday night, rode the two stolen
wheels to Gettysburg, O., where they
broke into freight car to steal its
contents. 1t so happened that the car
was empty. In Ohio breaking into
freight cars is equivalent to burglary
and the penalty is most severe one.
Woolford and his partner were dis
appointed in getting no loot from the
car they broke into, SO they SNUG
gled themselves on board a gondo!a
car which carried them to this city.
WoOlford states that he and his COM
panion hoped to sell their wheels here
Young Woolford has the degenerate
look of the lower class of criminals. t
but he claims to come of a prominent
family at Tarrytown. n. Y. He states
that he was reared by an aunt, but
that several years ago he ran away
from home to seek adventures and
that since that time he has led the life |
Of professional hobo The police I
have been unable to get any trace of
Woolford's companion. Woolford I
will not be given hearing in the cir .
cult court until his case has been in I
vestigated by the grand jury.
