INVALID IS BEATEN;
HUSBAND IN CUSTODY
Wife of Janitor, Cut and Bruised,
Goes to Hospital and
Tells Story

With her face lacerated, both eyes
discolored and her nose swollen to
twice it's normal size, Mrs. Kate
Eakins, 4S years old, of oil West First
street, appeared at the receiving hos
pital yesterday and applied for treat
ment. She told the police surgeons
that her husband J. II. Eakins, came
home in an intoxicated condition and
beat her.
After hearing the story of the woman
the police surgeons notified the police
department, and Patrolman Kierscey
was detailed to arrest Eakins. The
officer arrived at the Eakins home and
after a desperate struggle with the in
toxicated man subdued him. He was
booked on a charge of disturbing the
peace.
Mrs. Eakins, who is afflicted with
of her arms, told the officers that her
husband is a janitor at the Union Trust
building and frequently becomes in
toxicated. She said he has not sup
ported her for some time, but uses all
his money for drink, then beats her
when she demonstrates with him.
After her injuries were dressed Mrs.
Eakins said she would remain in the
city until she had an opportunity to
testify against her husband, then she
would leave for Oakland, where her
grown-up children live.
Eakins was unable to furnish 500
bail and was locked up in the city jail
to await his hearing in police court
Monday.

JURY DECIDING FATE
OF HARRIS LOCKED UP
Twelve Men Unable to Agree
Vote Said to Be Eleven
TO One

After being out since 11:50 o'clock
yesterday morning the jury in the case
of Leslie Harris, accused of burglary
was locked up for the night at $3.50
last night. The jury stood eleven TO
one. but whether for conviction or ac-
uuittaI was not known.
The verdict followed one of the hard
est fought trials held in Judge wins
court in some months. The defendant
was charged with robbing the store OF
the Macfarland Shirt company OF Los
Angeles of the sum of S5S5.75 last De
cember taking 1t from the safe. lie
was seen by Don mcfarland, president
of the company, who reported the mat
ter TO the police.
Harris was arrested in the o. T.
Johnson building shortly afterward.
He had deposited the money in cram
MES and corners of wash room and
most of it was recovered. After his
arrest he confessed to taking the
money, but declared he had right TO
take ii. This was the defense of the
attorneys for Harris, who claimed that
as secretary and a director of the COM
pany he had done nothing wrong in
securing the money.
Much interest was shown in the case,
in view of the fact that the father OF
Harris was VIII A. Harris, at one time

SEVERE JAIL SENTENCE
Goes to Prison Wearing Garb of

accentuated by two weeks growth of
beard, William Morris, who was ar
rested while it is alleged he was falsely
soliciting subscriptions on the represen-
tation that he was a missionary and
needed the money to assist the poor
and needy, shuffied into Police Judge
Williams court, wearing the garb of a
clergyman of the Church of England,
and heard the Judge speak the words
that sentenced him to serve $50 days in
the workhouse on charge Of vagrancy.
When sentence was pronounced Nor
ris hung his head, staggered forward as
if in a trance, then regained his poise,
turned and walked into the prisoners
dock and sat down. He then bowed his
head in his hands and wept bitterly.
Morris, who is about 45 years old, was
also accused of stealing a small sum of
money from Frederick Peatfeld, a
horse dealer living at the Waterville
hotel. Morris, 1t is claimed, represent
ed himself to be an Episcopal minister,
and entered the room of Peattield for
friendly chat. Later Peatfield pro-
duced a bottle of whisky, and the al
legged minister became so intoxicated
that he was unable to go to his own
apartments and passed the night with
Peatfield. When the latter aWoke in
the morning he found that SIC had been
taken from his trousers. He accused
Norris of the theft. The latter made
some excuse, left the room and was not
seen again by Peatfeld until Morris
was placed under arrest.
According to the detectives, Morris,
wearing the garb Of a priest, solicited
subscriptions during the day and then
discarded his clerical clothing in the
evening and spent the money at saloons
and IN the company of women of the
under world.
1t is understood that Morris will be
made q trusty and given place in the
kitchen at the city Jail, where he will
help the cook and assist in cleaning the
tin dishes in which food for the pris-
oners is served, and will help wait on
the table. If Norris proves too slow in
the kitchen he probably will be as
signed TO duty in the stable basement
of the iail.

Much interest has developed in the
last few days in political circles rela-
tive to the cOuncilmanic race to Sue
ceed John d. Works and Richmond
Plant. So far there arc four men in
the contest for nominations whose cam
paign promises to attract considerable
interest, but political leaders have no
hesitency in predicting that the good
government candidates will make a
surprising showing.
Fred L. Dwyer, Democrat, Is believed
by his party friends to have an eX-
excellent chance, as also is George H.
Stewart, former president of the
chamber of commerce, both of whom 1t
is said, have the Endorsement of the
Good Government organization. Against
these men in the councilmanic race are
Barney Healey and Henry Lyon, well
known machine" candidates. Just
what others may enter the race so far
does not seem to be definitely known.
but it is believed that within few
days there will be a number of others
out for the municipal "plums." Whether
or not the machine will encourage any
of its other members to try for the two
seats in the council is not known, but
there are many interesting rumors in
this respect which the next week should
dispel or confirm.

MANY LIVES LOST

The number of people killed last year
and preceding years in railroad wrecks
is appalling. and the majority of these
wrecks have been caused by open and
defective switches.
Up to the present time the
switch" is the only part of the rail
road service that has not been vastly
improved upon, and the railroads have
long since realized the necessity of OBJ
tanning a better more substantial and
more practical device aS regards safety
and operating expenses.
The airbrake, automatic coupler.
block signals. etc, have all added
greatly to the safety and comfort of
the travelling public but 1t has been
left once again TO our American genius
TO come to the front with a perfect
automatic railroad switch, which will
prove more valuable to the railroads
as we'll as TO the public, than any of
the devices that have been adopted up
to the present time.
This switch is operated and con-
trolled by the weight Of the train, the
power of gravity affording a lock that
cannot fail. and trains may now enter
and leave sidings without stopping and
with all possibilities Of a wreck being
eliminated
For two years this switch has been
in actual operation and its success has
been so complete that the railroads are
now adopting it, and II Is only a ques-
ton Of time until it will be universally
used.
The Call Automatic Switch company
Of Denver is giving the people of Los
Angeles an opportunity to see this
switch in operation. and it is now being
demonstrated at 225 West Second street
and at 413-417 South Main. These
1 demonstrations Will be continued for
short time only, and those taking ad-
vantage Of this opportunity will not
only find it interesting but highly in
structive,
The demonstrating rooms will be
open from 10 in the mornings until $50
| in the evenings, and visitors will be
cordially welcomed.

who took part In the fray. But if he
keeps silent it is conclusive evidence
in their minds that he cannot stand
character beyond doubt. 1t is &C
cepted by them as sufficient voucher
that he is a member in good standing
in the brotherhood of crooks, and he
is then admitted into full fellowship.
Shortly after the melee one of the
crowd suggested to Butts that he call
in the police. He promptly replied:
mo police for me-" and the detective
was thereupon received without hest
tation or mental reservation. During
the next seven or eight months Butts
worked with this gang of counter
feiters as a shower of queer.
Counterfeit Showers" as they are
called, usually travel in pairs. One
fellow carries the bogus money and
remains outside, while the other
takes one bill, enters a place Of bust
ness, purchases some trifle, tenders
the counterfeit note in payment, and
receives change in good money. If
this precaution were not observed,
the possession of other counterfeit
money, in case of detection and arrest,
would indicate guilt and lead almost
inevitably to conviction.
Detective Butts, however, did not
pass any counterfeit money but used
instead a good bill in the place of the
one he received from the carrier.
That was kept for evidence, and in
this way he deceived the queersmen
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1910-11-11

ney was well fitted to deceive with a
plausible story, for he seemed candid
in manner and well equipped in every
way to impose upon the most incred-
ulous. -.1f
The officers of the secret service
all considered him a dangerous per-
son and none was anxious to encoun-
ter a man Of such gigantic proportions
and apparently desperate character.
My first move against Quincy was
to send Mike Bower, a newly-fledged
government detective, to form his &C.
quaintance. Bower was selected be-
cause his appearance was anything
but that of detective. Bower drifted
into Gurney's "b~oozing-den" on East
Blocker street where, after lettering
around drinking and smoking for a
week or two, he n day called Cur
ney aside and told him he was broke
and must have a little money. He
drew from his inside pocket a gold
watch with a short piece Of chain
hanging from it, giving it the appear
ance Of having been nipped from the
pocket Of some unfortunate citizen.
Quincy snapped at the bait at once
and intimated, with a sly wink, that
the watch had been stolen. When
Bower finally admitted as much Cur
ney seemed pleased and bought the
watch at about one-third it's value,
remarking: You're all right, my
boy. When you want anything, come
to me-"
After a few days Bower again ap-
preached Quincy, this time with a
diamond stud that had been slipped
from its fastenings. II need some
more money" said Bower.
Quincy inspected the gem with an
~appreciative eye, and finally said:
"You are a good one. Did you ever
handle any Of the ~'queer?'"
Il took a little hand in it once" re-
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1910-11-11

not believe in using harsh measures
unnecessarily. Quincy fairly chuckled
at this simplicity and was thrown
completely off his guard.
He assumed an air of great mystery
and spoke of the possible existence of
counterfeit plates that might be
reached for a reward. He would not,
he declared, accept a dollar for his
personal services but, because of his
great fancy for me, was ready to as
sist in every way possible. He was
permitted to barney along and play
the game to his own liking, secure in
the belief that he was completely de-
ceiving the government officials.
In the meantime the services of an
old counterfeiter, fresh from the peni-
Tertiary, had been secured. Many of
ting with the Quincy gang and,
through him, Bill Butts. a fresh-look-
ing detective from one Of the western
states, was introduced to several of
the men who made their headquarters
at a saloon on the Bowery. Butts in
formed the ~barkeeper of the saloon
that he had just served a term for
Showing the queer"
At first the counterfeiters and
thieves hanging around the place ap-
peared to be suspicious Of Butts. One
day, however, when these Williams
were drinking beer in the back room
Of the place, a fight arose The de-
tective went in with the rest and
stretched out several of the fellows,
though he was badly beaten up in the
end, and in addition was robbed Of
his pocketbook and watch.
The ethics Of the criminal profess
sion are peculiar. When a crowd Of
crooks fight they frequently rob one
another, and if the victim calls in the
police to recover his property he
loses the confidence of the rogues
