The San Francisco call., 1908-08-15


brothers were not brought face to face
until after their arrival in this city.
Throughout the journey from Chi
cago the stateroom in which Claudianes
was held prisoner was the center OF
curiosity for all of the 100 or more
overland passengers, and the history
OF the dynamiting cases was the chief
topic of, conversation on the train. Not
until the Oakland mole was reached,
however, did a single passenger catch
sight of the prisoner. He stepped from
the train in the midst of the prosecu-l
tion party. his wrist handcuffed to that
OF Detective Rohan, and rush was
made into the depot, while on all sides
a crowd swarmed around, struggling
for a single glimpse of the young dyn-
amiter.
AS the party pushed its way into the
jam at the ferry gates there was sud-
den eddy in the crowd and the pris
oner's uncle, Nicholas K. Eustathiw of
Oroville hurled himself toward Rohan
and his prisoner. For minute the
mans motive was not understood, and
the crowd scampered for cover, as
Burns and Langdon caught the man by
the shoulders and thrust him away.
Eustathiw fought until he was finally
warned of arrest and made to under
stand that he could see his nephew
when the party had made its way out
OF the crowd. AT the upper gates in
the depot the two conversed together
for a minute in Greek.
On board the ferry boat Peter was
seated in a corner on the upper deck
and curious throng pressed around
the PLACE all the way across the bay.
Several photographers attempted to
take the lads picture and a hashlight
was exploded, but Pete had pulled his
hat low over his eyes and never WINGED.
"A little thing like an explosion
doesn't disturb Pete" commented
Langdon. who was seated opposite him.
WARNED AGAINST SCOTT
Attorney ]. W. Scott, who appeared
for few days as attorney for John
Claudianes. and then withdrew from
the case, accompanied Eustathiw to
Oakland and announced that he had
been retained by the uncle as counsel
to talk to the prisoner and these efforts
brought out sharp criticism from
Burns
Pete" he called, so that Scott could
hear him, That man who says he is
your attorney is the one who went and
talked to John in Jail and then peddled
it all to the Examiner afterward. Do
you want fellow like that as your
attorney?'
That isn't so,' retorted Scott angrily
Whoever told you that has told an
untruth.>
Il got that straight from a man
whose word believe" answered Burns.
BY the way. Pete" he continued,
Scott didn't stick long to John. He
quit"
That was because John wouldn't
stick to me- said Scott, "and 1 think
this man will
'Oh, this fellow is brighter and has
more sense than John,' answered
Burns.
During the colloquy Pete had been
studying Scott from under the shadow
of his lowered hat brim, and at the
end he turned away with a snarl but
When the San Francisco side of the
bay was reached Pete was rushed again
through the crowd that had gathered in
the ferry nave to witness his arrival
and pushed into an automobile. The
other members of the party, excepting
Detective Goff and John Claudianes and
Eustathiw and Scott, jumped in after
him and the machine whirled away up
Market street.
Peter was not taken to the city prison
until late last night. The plans of the
prosecution do not contemplate inter-
ference from attorneys or others who
may wish to visit the young prisoner
until after every effort has been used
to secure from him a full statement of
everything within his knowledge con-
corning the dynamiting. He was kept
out until long after midnight, and it is
probable that for a number of DAYS
he will be held in detinue and that his
whereabouts from day to day will be a
mystery.
1t was rumored last night that the
Greek was being "sweated" in a house
near the ocean beach. John Claudianes
was returned to his cell in the prison
shortly after his return to the city
from across the bay, and the two
brothers did not meet.
