him but was refused Then one night
about two weeks ago Cochrane, he said,
called upon him in a taXicab and took
him to Flannery's home in Devisadero
street. Flannery, he testified, asked
him if he had kept any letters or tele-
grams with Flannery's signature on
the mand he said that he had not

should conduct a search Abbott
agreed to this. Cochrane, he said,
searched him personally and then went
to his apartments and searched his
trunk and other effects without find
ing anything.
SAVED BY OvERCOAT
AT the time of the search Abbott
had the telegram and envelope pro-
duced yesterday in an overcoat pocket,
over a chair, was overlooked by Coch-
rane. The following day Abbott Wis
tied Cochrane'e office and signed an affi-
davit purporting to exculpate Flannery
completely.
Mrs Abbott testified that, in the
meantime, at Flannery's suggestion,
she had gone to Jerome Bassity to see
if she could procure bail, but that the
latter demanded all her money and
jewelry and did nothing for her. The
demand for fresh bail becoming insist
ent, Abbott made one last effort to Sc
cure Flannery's ad by going to Flan-
nery's house. Then occurred the hnai
rupture. Abbott testified that he again
objecte dto Coehrane's demands and
that Flannery said
We'll. don't you think they are
right?"
NO" Abbott answered.

F'lannery wildly. "IIl choke you. III
choke you to death if you don't get out
of here. 1 don't know you and L won
have anything to do with you
Flannery was rushing at Abbott and
the two were squaring off for strug-
gle, Abbott testified. when Flannery's S
daughter interfered by rushing into the
room. Abbott was elected from the
house vowing vengeance.
The next day Abbott returned to San
Rafael and gave himself up. Already
half persuaded to confess the entire
transaction, Mrs Abbott's pleadings de-
eided him. Yesterday he told the story
in detail and answered every question
that was asked him in the grand jury
room.
The grand jury adjourned to meet
again Friday to continue the investiga-
ton.

Boyd has since denied that any such
agreement was .made or that he had

which were in the Richelieu saloon

OFFICIALS INVOLVED
IN OPERA TONS OF
GANG OF SWINDLERS

The history of the case dates back to
March {, when Sheriff w. 2. Taylor and
District Attorney Thomas 2. Boyd, Of
ficials of Marin county, raided the fake
poolroom of James Blair on the Sausa-
Tito water front. The raid followed
the swindling of Robert Wood of Fres-
no of $500. The men were arrested
and immediate inuuence for their re-
lease was exerted. County Supervisor
l.. C. Pistolesi of Marin put up bonds
for number of them.
Those arrested were: Ed Parry, Will
liam Israel, Frank Alphonse, Frank
Clark, Alfred Lewis. Edward Blum,
James Blair, John McSherry, T. Yeager
ands Burns
A complete outfit for the operation
of a fake poolroom was confiscated, in
cluding some money bags containing
iron washers, which the swindlers used
to delude their dupes
On March S~Night Watchman John Z.
Creed was arrested and formally
charged with collusion in affording the
gamblers police protection.
The following day District Attorney
Boyd announced that one of the men
had made a partial confession reveal
ing a gigantic combination to plunder
unsuspecting persons with police toler-
ance. This day Frank Alphonse spent
in Flannery's saloon, in San Francisco,
according to Boyd, raising 100000
bonds for his companions. Charges of
conspiracy were then placed against
the prisoners.
BLUM CONFESsES
On March 10 Blum, the bartender
confessed. duplicating officials and ex-
posing the methods of the wire tap
pers. Supervisor Pistolesi announced
that he washed his hands of the cases
when Boyd charged that, as an official.
Other victims of the gang came for
ward, and Sheriff Taylor said that $5O,-
600 had been reported lost to the gang
The matter was made subject of
grand jury inquiry, and on March Is
part of the evidence was made public,
directly duplicating two Sausalito Off
cials. formal charge of grand lar
ceny was placed against seven of the
gang. Blum and Edward Parry plead
ed not guilty. Attorney James ].
Cochrane dropped from the case and
was succeeded by Otto Irving Wise and
Thomas O'Connor, attorneys of San
Francisco.
DRAWN INTO AFFAIR
On the following day the investiga-
ton took on it's most sensational aspect
when Harry F'lannery, chairman of the
police commission of San Francisco.
was drawn directly into the affair and
cHdTSe with HdNlDS DSen the Qe1enQer
of the imprisoned gamblers Attention
centered about McSherry, whose correct
name is Frank Clark; kid" Abbott,
alias Jerry Williams, and Frank AL
phonse alias Frank Haley
District Attorney Boyd said that
Cochrane had told him that F1annery
hired him to defend the trio. 1t was
also learned then that the bunko men
had operated on this side of the bay
previously. and it was said that De-
tectives Bunner and Freel were dis
rated because of their activity against
the gang in defiance of Flannery's
wishes in the matter At this time it
was established that Cochrane and Mar
tin Ragget had frequently visited the
Richelieu bar, which belongs to Flan-
merry, and engaged in long talks with
the police commissioner.
