proof for his wife In the shape of q
discharge which certifies. that F. c..
Jones was seaman on the Dirigo from
Baltimore to Honolulu and that his
conduct was very good"
Jones does not say as much for the
Dirigo and exhibits two crippled hands
as evidence Of what an American ship
did to the ungioved fingers of Cana
dian gentleman. One finger is bro
ken SO badly that 1t will bend in any
direction. Another Is curved like a
boathook.
The beggar that shanghaied me was
a gentleman" said Jones. "or he would

DETECTIVES TRACE
R0BBER OF lUNDY
Thief Declared ta Be George B.
Stancliffe, Who Secured
$4,000 From Hotel

Linked by startling similarity OF
Identification and chain Of circum-
stances the expert craftsman who
looted the Lundy jewelry store OF
$4,000 Is now declared to be one with
George b. stancliffe, the brutal thug
who robbed Mrs. l. A. Palmer. pro-
prietress of the st. Rose hotel. of $4,000
in the same week
Detectives working on the two cases
have traced the trails until they have
converged into one, and this has been
followed UP the coast to Seattle and
thence east, where an arrest isslikely
to occur as soon as detective from
this city can reach the hiding place of
the fugitive.
Stancliffe, who also used the. name
of Stanley. is known to have stayed In
San Francisco until after the Lundy
crime, and his description tallies ex-
actly with that of a mysterious man
who was seen sku1king near Lundy' s
store for hours at a time both before
and after the robbery. This man was
then living at a hotel at the corner OF
Mason and sO'Farrell streets.
Before sufficient evidence to warrant
an arrest had been secured by the de-
tectives Stancliffe disappeared. Later
he was found to have left ostensibly for
Alaska on a coastinE vessel. but when
the ship arrived at Seattle he deserted
the boat and made his way east to the
place where he is known to be now In
hiding.

BLAME DOCTOR FOR
WRONG DECISION
Relatives of Man Injured by Car
Complain of Diagnosis
as Alcoholism
Death Follows Delayed Opera
ton for Fracture of
Skull

Diagnosis of case of fractured skull
been charged to Dr. S. o. Beasley of
the central emergency hospital with the
result that the injured man died
when the necessary operarlon was per-
formed too late. Martin Bencich, Al
years old, of so Laskie street, fell from
a moving car at Mission and Ninth
streets He was rendered unconscious
and some bystanders tried to revive
him with a liberal dose OF whisky,
some Of which was forced down his
throat and a portion dashed In Ben
eich's face.
When the stricken, man was taken to
the hospital the reeking fumes OF spir-
its were detected by DR.. Beasley who
without more ado made his diagnosis
alcoholism and marked the man for de-
tention in a cell and observation.
Later Antonio and George Bencich
took their relative from the emergency
hospital and placed him under the care
of DR.. u. G. Herder at the German
hospital. Here another examination
was made of the man, who had not
regained consciousness, and danger
Gus fracture of the skull was found.
The man died under the subsequent op-
Grafton, which had been delayed more
than twenty-four hours by reason or
the improper diagnosis of the case.
Antonio and George Bencich say that
had the dead man received proper
treatment when he was taken to the
emergency hospital he had every chance
to survive but the continued pressure
on his brain weakened his strength too
much to stand the shock later, They
threaten legal proceedings to gain re-
dress for the alleged maltreatment.
Detectives Regan and OConnell are IN
vestigating the case.

COOK EXPECTS TO
CONVICT BARTNETT
j. DaIzelI Brown Assists Assist
ant District Attorney in Read
ing Cipher Letters
Disclosures Said to Reveal Bart
nett and TreadweII Brothers
in Two Distinct Lights

: ]. Dalzell Brown was in conference
yesterday with Assistant District At

him in deciphering the discriminating
letters OF Walter ]. Bartnett From
the results obtained Cook is convinced
that he will convict Bartnett without

was SO strong that he would not en-
tertain any offers that .Bartnett NIGH,
make.

bers of his family yesterday and made

his absence in San Quentin. He had
planned to meet K. J. lie Breton, re-
ceiver Of the bank, but the engagement
was not kept He viii talk matters
over with lie Breton this morning
Until he has concluded his conferences
with Brown, lie Breton is disinclinec
TO speak of the disclosures that have
been made TO him. He is of the opin-
ion, however, that the estimates plac,
ing the amount to be recovered al
$1,000, 600 are exaggerated.
Acting upon the advice of his attor-
new Hiram johnson, Brown has re-
fused to make any further statement
for publication. 1t is announced, how
ever, that when he believes the propel
time has arrived he will make COM
plete statement laying bare the history
Of the bank from the time he entered
IL 10 years ago to the present day.
These disclosures, it is said, will re

An EXHIBITION OF DEPRAv-
I1'X

In what might be called almost a
worldwide experience ia the sur
shine and shadow Of life, we have
never seen a more degrading sight
than was witnessed on the streets
OF our city Thursday afternoon
when the democratic delegates
from the Twin Fails convention
paraded up and down the principal
thoroughfares under banners bear
ing inscriptions that were not only
insulting to every Mormon resident
in our city, but TO every respectable
man, woman aud child in the COM
munity.
1t is hard to conceive of man
so far brmeaning manhood as to Of
fer insult to his fellow man, simply
because he differs with him in his
Zig ious belief.
