LET MANGLEO BODY
LIE AMONG BRICKS
Failure of Contractors to Re-
port Laborer's Pitiful Death
Reveals Heartlessness

John Hannah, laborer employed by
the City construction company in raz-
ing the city hall. was killed yesterday,
and such was the reputed conduct of
his employers in delaying to notify the
morgue and in enforcing silence re-
garding the accident among Hannan's
fellow laborers that Coroner Leland
invoked the aid of the police depart
ment in an investigation of the meth
DDS of heartless contracting companies
which, show little or no regard for the
lives of their men. The coroner is
determined to put stop to the GRIM
inal carelessness practiced by con-
tractors in sending Iaborers into peril
Gus places and then, when tragedy
occurs, seeking to suppress the facts
in the case.
Hannah was engaged with other
workmen in tearing down wall, when
it collapsed. bsrying him under the
debris and killing him instantly The
accident happened about O'Clock in
the afternoon. For two hours the con-
tractors allowed the body of Hannah
to lie in the bricks and mortar, and
it was only when. friends of the de-
ceased notified the morgue of the acci-
dent that the eoroner's deputies learned
of the occurrence.
In the meantime friends of the dead
man had notified his wife at her home,
1924 Laguna street, and the woman
hastened TO the scene and pitifully
of her husband.
Deputy Coroner Thomas Gavan and
Detective McHugh We're detailed on the
case. When they reached the city hall
ruins they found that none of the so
laborers who witnessed the fatality
would talk. McHugh grew suspicious
and took one of the men apart and,
after closely questioning him, learned,
he said that the employers had eau
toned the men to be silent. G. E.
Sedgwich, the foreman for the City
construction company, in charge of the
work.-had neglected to notify the cor
oner of the death.
Several months ago two men work
ing for the same company in the razing
of the city hall were killed, and the
coroner's jury roundly censured the
contractors for negligence and care
lessness.
Hannah was 40 years old, and before
the fire had been a hotel keeper.

BURGLARS RANSACK
The JUDSON HOME
Thieves Secure Valuable Plum
der During Vacation of
Banker and Wife

Burglars, operating while honest folk
are enjoying vacation in the Santa
Cruz mountains, went through the home
of Frederick ". Judson. 204 Frederick
street. and stole all the portable silver
ware, jewelry and other vaIuabIes left
in the house. Judson is prominent in
financial circles. He was formerly state
treasurer of California and is paying
teller in the Meehants' national bank
Judson returned to his home yester-
day afternoon at o'clock after a week
spent in the Santa Cruz mountains with
his wife. As soon as he entered the
place he found the rooms in depIorable
confusion. He made an investigation
and found that robbers had cut their
way into the house through a rear win
dow and systematically ransacked il
from basement to attic. pIundering
drawers, closets and chests. All the sill
yer in the house had been taken, in
cluding, approximately. $500 worth of
table ware. which had not been placed
in the safe deposit vaults.
Mrs. Judson's rooms had been searched
by the burglars at their leisure. Every
thing of value there was taken. Judson
is sure that jewelry valued at more
than $500 was taken from his wife's
Ieeeptacies. and he can not tell how
much more may have been stolen. as
Mrs. Judson is still in the mountains.
Judson reported the crime to the po-
lice and Detectives Black and De la
Guerra of the park station were detailed
on the case.
Jndson Will return this morning to
his vacation retreat.s report the theft TO
his Wife and secure an accurate list of
the property taken by the burglars.
