FOOTPAD WHO HAD PISTOL
Judge Cook Sentences George
Sullivan to Twenty Years
Imprisonment

For the example of others, George
Sullivan, convicted of burglary. was
sentenced to 90 years imprisonment in
Folsom by Judge Carroll Cook yester-
day. In company with an accomplice.
Sullivan held up A. Paulson at the
point of pistol and relieved him of
two watches and a small sum of
money.
There are two classes of offenders
to whom no mercy should be extend
ed" Judge Cook remarked in sentenc-
ing the man, namely, a burglar who
enters a dwelling house at night time,
armed with deadly weapon, and a
holdup man cowardly enough to go
about robbing people with the aid of
pistol"
He added that he hoped the sentence
of 20 years Imprisonment would deter
others from similar crimes. Sullivan,
lice before, was stunned by the sever
ity of the sentence.

EX-PRFSID[NT OF
WATER WORKS DIES
Charles Webb Howard Passes
Away at His San Rafael
Home

Charles Webb Howard. for 80 years
president of the Spring Valley water
works and a resident of California
since 1852, died at his residence in San
Rafael yesterday morning at the age
OF a years and 6 months. A hemor-
rhage of the brain terminated ILL.,
ness which had afflicted the deceased
since prior to the time of the San Fran
cisco fire. A year before that time,
in June, 1905, Howard retired from the
water industry, disposing of his inter-
ests in the old Spring Valley water
works to the promoters of the new
company.
Few of the men who came to Cali
fornia in the early days arrived under
such exciting conditions as attended
Howard's disembarkment on California
soil, and few distinguished themselves
so prominently in the business life of
the state. And not alone in the busi-
ness world, but socially as well, How
ard was prominent, being a member of
the Bohemian, the Pacific Union and
the San Francisco clubs.
Howard left a widow, but the family
has been divided for many years, How
ard living in San Rafael while his
wife maintained a handsome home in
Pacific avenue and another in Oak
land and frequently travelled abroad. He
was survived by three sons and one
daughter Frederick p Howard, one
of the sons, is president of the La
gunitas water company; Shafter How
ard, well known playwright, and
Harold Howard, the other sons. reside
in New York Miss Maude Howard
lives in San Rafael.
The story of Howard's arrival in San
Francisco is one of the most spectac-
ular of the tales of the early days.
When near the Golden gate the ship on
which he was travelling caught fire and
the flames spread with such rapidity
that the crew and passengers had bare
ly enough time to take to the boats.
Howard, weak and i'll from Panama
fever picked up in crossing the isthmus,
managed to crawl on deck and began
boat. While doing SO the rope burned
and he fell into the sea. How he man.
aged to keep himself afloat until picked
up he never could explain, for in his
then weakened condition swimming
was almost out of the question. He
landed in the city penniless, sick from
exposure and fever, and had to be cared
for by the Massachusetts society of
California He was nursed back to
health by this organization, and with
the recovery of his health started out to
carve his fortune.
The funeral services will take place
at IL a. m. Saturday from the dead
mans residence at the corner of Will
kins street, San Rafael. Mrs. Howard,
is now abroad.

TELLS WHY he DID

DIR. McEnery Says He Withheld
Money From Prof. MCLangh-
lin Because Ward Objected
Contradictions in Testimony of
Rivals for Administrator
of Big Estate

mere We're direct contradiction as
TO matters of fact in the testimony be-
fore Judge Hunt yesterday of DR.. Will
liam A. McEnery-of this city and Prof.
andrew c. Mclaughlin of the history
department of the University of Chi
caso, who are rivals for the task cf
administering the 100000 estate Aof
MISS Isabel Lois Mclaughlin, step
uauShter of the first contestant and
niece OF the second. The doctor told
OF having been induced to hand over
TO the professor $4,000 worth of gov
ernnent bonds belonging to the es-
TATE and said that he did so under
protest and because of threat that
he would be sued.
hen Mclaughlin took the stand he
IN speclhc terms denied that McEnery
oeilvered the bonds to him under pro-
test, and explained that they had
TAXED over the matter together and
had decided that he should dispose of
the bonds and invest the money in a
way TO bring larger returns.
DOCTOR IS IRRITATED
McEnery started to interrupt this
statement with a contradiction, but was
restrained by his attorney, Gavin
McNab. Another point of McLaughlin's
testimony irritated the doctor. The
professor said he told McEnery sew
eral months ago that if he liked he
could apply to the Utah court for an,
allowance for the support of Miss Isa-
Del Mclaughlin, and there might be
some objection to the court granting
that, in the light of facts that we
knew, added the witness, referring
plainly to $4,000, the breach of promise
action brought against McEnery in the
Utah courts by an English nurse, which
was compromised. A second method
OF getting money for the support and
education of Miss Mclaughlin sug-
gested by the professor was for
McEnery to apply to him for it. He re-
eeived no answer to this suggestion,
Mclaughlin said.
McEnery will leave for England to-
morrowland further hearing of the dis
pute whether the Utah appoint
ment of Mclaughlin as guardian or
the San Francisco appointment of
McEnery shall prevail was postponed
till after his return. All the testimony
taken yesterday was subject to an OBJ
lection by Attorney Sidney n. Van
Wyck, counsel for Mclaughlin, as to
the courts Jurisdiction.
LEGACY Is WITHHELD
McEnery was also questioned as TO
his reasons for refusing to pay Nc
Laughlin the $4,000 legacy left him by
the late Henrietta Mclaughlin Nc
Emery who was the doctors wife. He
said he was holding this money out,
notwiths tanding that all of her lega-
cies had been pad, because Miss Isa-
bel Mclaughlin had claims against the
professor, and both the witness and his
ward objected to the payment of the
legacy pending the settlement of these
claims. This matter also was allowed
to go over until McEnery returns from
England, the $4,000 having been placed
in custody of the court clerk.
Further reference was made yester-
day to the order for the arrest of
MeEnery signed by Judge Hunt, the
judge completely exonerating Attorney
William c. Crittenden from any wish
or attempt to mislead the court.
