NJ ARTHUR IS FREED
OF FORGERY CHARGE
District Attorney Comedies
Prosecution Is Unwarranted
and Moves Dismissal

OAKLAND, Feb. 26.-E. "A. Macarthur
was acquitted on motion OF District
Attorney Donahue today when his sec
ond trial on forgery charge was well
under way. Complications in the forg-
ing of the name of Frank Barry to a
check for $40 could not be unraveIed
with the evidence at hand and Dona-
hue conceded that further prosecution
Of Macarthur was unwarranted.
The testimony of handwriting experts
went for naught because the signature
and portions of the body of the check
were shown to have been accurately
traced from an original. AS result all
telltale indications in the forgery were
lost.
The tracing was demonstrated BY
Theodore Kytka after he had examined
other checks known to have been writ
ten by Barry and which had been in
the possession of others than Macarthur.
The check which was traced was made
out to c. H. Macbeth, one Of Barry's
employees Donahue said there was no
evidence against Macbeth.
Carl Eisenschimel and Kytka held
the opinion that Macarthur had forged
the check until the discovery OF the
tracing was made.
Judge Brown censured Attorney W.
A Andrews, who represented Macarthur,
for failure to deal openly with the
prosecution and save the county the
expense of a second trial, the first hav-
ing resulted in a disagreement.

WOMAN GIVESFUNDS
FORSOLDIER'S BRIDE
Sentenced Deserter Induces
Guard to Flee With Him
and Breaks Away

With 500 furnished by a faithful
coryphee from Pacific street. Private
Jackson made a tandem break from de-
tention at the Preside late Thursday
afternoon. He is supposed to have
bribed his guard. Private Moehler Of
the One Hundred and Fifty-eighth
company, coast artillery, with the
gether the two escaped from the post
and have not yet been captured. The
army authorities are keeping news of
this escape very quiet Three men es-
capped from the post during the week,
the other prisoner who slipped his
bonds being Private Johnson. who early
in the week wrested the rife away
from the sentry who was guarding
him, and made for liberty.
Private jackson was a deserter from
the Twentieth infantry and was under
sentence by a court martial. Tt has
been a matter of general comment
about the Presidio that he carried 800
in his sock with which to purchase
his way to liberty as soon as he found
a venal sentry. That combination was
discovered in Moehler.
Moehler was Jackson's guard Thurs
day afternoon. While he was being
watched by the heavily armed Moehler
the prisoner whispered the alluring
promises of wealth into his guard s
ears. The soldier and his prisoner
drifted toward the quarters Of Moehler's
company. There the sentry slipped on
civilian dress. Then he and Jackson,
the latter apparently under. guard,
strolled together toward the Lombard
street entrance to the Preside. When
near the gate Moehler and Jackson tore
off their outer clothing and Moehler
appeared in civilian dress and Jackson
in a sailor suit. Jackson was once in
the navy. from which he deserted be-
fore joining the army.
Mohler dropped his rife and the two
men went rapidly down Lombard street
toward the city. Moehler had the 500
which the Pacific street girl had put up
as the ransom of her imprisoned lover
The ransom has been paid.
