San Francisco embezzler, beyond any
hope of freedom during the time that
he awaits the arrival of San Fran
cisco officer with papers of extraditicn.
One was the dismissal of the writ of
hAbeas corpus by Judge Cooper in the
circuit court and the other was the con-
fession of his woman companion toI
United States District Attorney Brock
ons.
Judge Cooper s action, taken after al
two days hearing, deprives Cla1dlus
Mcbride the mans attorney, of the
opportunity of securing the release OF
his client from the custody Of Sherln
Jarrett for which object he has been
fighting so long. He viii carry thel
matter now to the supreme court of thel
Territory, but by the time he can per.
feet an appeal or petition for a new
writ before that body the San Fran
cisco officer will be here.
The hearing of the writ of habeas
corpus issued by Judge Robinson, but
being argued before Judge Cooper,
commenced yesterday morning and was
not decided until five clock yesterday
afternoon. Sheriff Jarrett, who was the
first witness for the respondent, was
on the stand all morning and part of
the afternoon, his testimony serving
only to establish the grounds upon
which the Chinaman is being held herel
as set forth in the sheriff S return onl
the writ.
When Mcbride commenced his cross
examination his first object was to
learn more about the checks and other
papers found on .Jue Yuen Now at the
time of his arrest Milverton, how
ever, objected to all these questions asI
not being relative to any point at Issue
and was sustained, and when Jarrett
Jeff the stand Mcbride was no nearerI
the information than before.
MiIverton placed NJ. Il. Simonton,
the clerk, and P. Maurice McMahon,
the stenographer of Judge Robinson IS
court on the stand to refute Mcbride Isl
claim that the habeas corpus proceed
ings in Judge Robinson s court, where
the Judge discharged the prisoner, were
a bar to the proceedings in Judge Coop
er's court, although the alleged facts
in the two cases were materially the
same.
Continued argument against this on
the part of Mcbride was cut short by
Judge Cooper's decision that the pro-
eeedings before Judge Robinson were
no bar.
Milverton then placed Rose on the
stand for the purpose of corroborating
Jarrett's statements Mcbride, as sooI
as the dissemination commenced
again began to inquire about those
kl3, 900 checks in a round about man
ner but again got no satisfaction. AT
ter that MilvertOn rested his case ant
Mcbride called Chief McDuffie as hi
first witness.
Mcbride Makes Breaks.
McDufie, who was rather surprises
at being called as a witness for Nc
Bride, asked him to repeat the cal
whereupOn Mcbride informed him wit
a great deal of giee that he had bee
looking for him all day. AS soon as
had the chief on the stand he con
meneed to ask pointblank question
about the checks but was so excite
that he made several laughable break
which gave MeDufiie the advantag
over him.
McBride's first question was. as
MeDufiie IS official position which wa
duly answered.
''Are you not n subordinate office
under William Jarrett, sheriff of tn
city and county of San Francisco
then asked Mcbride.
t'No," said McDufie, solemnly.
"Ehf" inquired Mcbride with
grunt of surprise. His question wa
explained and he put it in proper form
That was the last question he manage
to get answered for some time, fo
Milverton's continual objections to an
questioning regarding the checks O
not relevant, were all sustained.
Finally Mcbride gave it up in despai
and SETTLED down TO a less troublesom
line of questioning, but by that tim
he was more excited than ever.
Getting right up to the witness stan
and shaking a finger at MeDuffie to il
sure his caution, Mcbride said:
''Now, did you or did you not Civ
all those eablegrams you got from Chic
Seymour of San Francisco to Mr.. M
Duffiel"
"Yes,'' said McDufie, just as so
EMMY as before.
CHOW commenced Mcbride, b.
MCDufie's conscience began to squea
Just there and he started to ask the a
tOrney if he didn L mean Jarrett.
''NOw, just moment interpose
Mcbride ''Did you turn over all yol
information that you had regardln
Jue Yuen Now to him2'
eyes" said McDufie with perfe
truth, and that practically ended Il
questioning. Mcbride was eager
learn if any other cablegrams had bee
received from San Francisco except Il
two that had been fled in evidence
Milverton, and by his break in his que
tioning he permitted McDufiie to 6
aft the stand without committing hi
self one way or the other.
The court was still smiling when I
chief passed out of the door in evide
relief, and Mcbride does not know y
Why MeDuife was laughing at him.
Judge Cooper then cut snort arg
ment by saying that his mind was 81
tied in the matter, and after she
discussion Of the case by Mcbride,
dismissed the writ and remanded I
prisoner back into the custody Of Sh
