FRAUD ATTEMPTED IN
TRANSFER OF PROPERTY

Uncle Signs Deed

OAKLAND May 21.-Charged with
felony in having attempted to record a
fraudulent deed for property which did
not belong to him, E. A. Boell of 613
Seventeenth street, Oakland, is held in
$4,000 bail. He was arrested this morn
ing by Detective Hodgkins on war
rant sworn to by Newton B. Coghill of
1911 Carlton street, Berkeley, and later
confessed to Captain of Detectives Pet
ersen.
According to the complaint Boel
who bears the name of an uncle living
in another part of the state, made out
a deed to property recently purchased
by CoghilI from the uncle.
This deed, as is charged, shows that
the property had been transferred back
TO the nephew. The property is de-
scribed as 40 feet frontage in the east
line of Grove street, south of Cedar
Berkeley.
Had it not been for a chance visit OF
Coghill to the hall of records yester-

BICYCLE THIEF MAY
Go BACK TO PRISON
Returns to Evil Ways Though
Free But Week

OAKLAND, May 21.-Released from
San Quentin but week ago, John Z.
Martindale. alias s. c. Stevens, 30 years
of age, finds another term staring him
in the face because he has since re-
lease been devoting himself to the pur-
loining of bicycles. This is properly
only petty larceny, but the fact of prior
conviction and that he seems TO be a
confirmed steaIer of bicycles makes his
offense a felony in the eyes of the law.
He served his three years in San
Quentin on conviction of burglary, and
previous to that served in the city
prison for stealing bicycles.
He was arrested in Broadway near
Eleventh street last night by Detec-
tives Quigley and Drew while in pos
session of a wheel stolen from H Nc
Kissick of 2017 Bray avenue, Berkeley,
and is also charged with stealing BIZ
cycle from Hans Hansen of Fitchburg
a few days ago, this wheel being sold
to a second hand dealer.

TWELVE GIANTS BEAR
THIS GIANT TO GRAVE
Church Doors Too Small to Ad-
NIT Mammoth Casket

When the body of William II. Bur-
nett the SIS pound tavern keeper of
Locust Valley, /. l., was lowered into
its by by foot grave in the little
country churchyard, that sleepy hamlet
saw the last of the man who had given
il more or less prominence.
1t was the biggest funeral that rec
ords seem to know anything about, for
Burnetts immense weight made IL ne
cessary for the ordinary burial cere-
rnony to be performed on unusual lines.
The coffin, a metallic one weighing 400
pounds, had no handles and was lifted
by means Of seven foot hickory boards
placed underneath.
Twelve staIwart fellows, each one six
feet in height and selected beforehand
by Burnett himself, had the job OF
their lives in lifting the coffin and the
body through the large double window
of the house to a wagon, as there was
no hearse large enough.
At the little Dutch Reformed church,
where the services were held. the door
was also too small TO admit the coffin
and il remained in the wagon while the
Rev. John W Gammack OF Glen Cove
conducted the services. At the grave
side there was further difficulty, for,
with the rough box, made of two inch
ash, eight feet long, five feet wide and
three deep, the combined weight that
the pail bearers had TO handle was
about 1,150 pounds. The grave took
two men two days to dig.
The heaviest man of whom there is
authentic record. according to Cham
ber's encyclopedia, was Daniel Lam
bert, an Englishman, who died in 1909.
Lambert weighed 739 pounds.
