The story of a murder in one Of the
Oldest houses in the city was revived yes
terday when George w. Preston petit
toned the district court to grant a writ
OF habeas corpus releasing his daughter,
Violet G., Preston, from the state indus
trial school at Ogden, where she was sent
Nov. 8, 1906 by Willis Brown, former
judge of the Juvenile court. The petition
attacks the jurisdiction of the court and
says the commitment was Illegal and
without any authority at law.
Two years ago the girl resided at 30
State street in an old adobe house, one
of the landmarks of the city, which has
since been RACED to the ground. On the

IS ACCUSED OF BURGLARY
Three Crimes Alleged to Have Been
Committed by Man Who Is
CITY Jail Prisoner.

Two daring burglarieS and one attempt
were committed Friday night and the
police say they are weaving a net of
facts around W. DAILY which promises to
connect him with all of them. He is at
present in the city Jail, having been ar
rested yesterday afternoon by Detective
Wheeling. The places robbed We're the
Central drug store on the northeast cor
ner of State and First South streets, and
a room occupied by J. c. Swift and his
wife, who live in Colorado, in the Day
roOming house above the drug store, and
an attempt was made to loot the Halli-
day Drug company, diagOnally across the
street from the Central Drug company ;
Friday evening Mr.. and Mrs. Swift left
their room for about ten minutes, and
when they returned they found that a
diamond pin and SO in cash had been
taken. Soon afterward a burglar entered
the Central Drug cOmpany's store and
SIS was stolen
1t appears that the burglar had some
trouble in finding the money. Many
drawers and cases were searched before
he found his loot in a sack in the cor
ner of medicine chest Besides the
money there was solid gold watch and
a number of checks. but these were not
disturbed. Entrance was gained through
a rear door, the glass of which had been
broken during the afternoon and boards
had been nailed acrUss the window open
ing II was only necessary for the thief
TO put his hand between two of the
boards and unbolt the door. 1t is sup
posed that the thief, after doing these
jobs, went TO the Halliday Drug company
store, where an attempt was made to
force open the rear door.
Detectives Wilson and Wheeling and
Policeman Taylor have succeeded in dis
covering convincing evidence against
DAILY. who was arrested on suspicion.
DAILY came 70 town few days ago
without a cent and took a room in the
lodging house where the diamond pin
was stolen, the police say. He was given
the room next to the one occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Swift, who lost the pin
and the $40. He contracted a number of
bills, it is said, and yesterday morning
after the robbery, he appeared with
roll Of bills and paid his creditors. The
detectives found $3.50 in his possession
when arrested.

WOUNDS MAY PROVE FATAL

men and Injuries May Result
in Death of Victim.

VIII Pratter, yardman employed by
the J. II. r. Franklin Candy company,
was perhaps fatally stabbed by two ne
gro wenches in Floral avenue about 1
OclOck this morning. The two women led
him into the alley and demanded a half
dollar. He said he had only a quarter
an.s at this one of the women took what
Pratter believes to have been a pair of
scissors and thrust them into his abdO-
men. The cut was several inches long.
d. c. NJ. Benedict was called to attend
the man. He says the wound is extreme
ly serious. He was taken to st. Mark S
hospital.
Shortly before this cutting affray two
negro women picked the pockets of Bill
Pampus at the Saltair depot and stole
$40. Their description is about the same
as the ones that stabbed Pratter.
