CHAPMAN RELIEVED OF
GRAND LARCENY CHARGE
Statute of Limitations Bars the
Minor OffenSe

The case of August J. Chaplain
charged with grand larceny, which has
been pending in Police Judge Deasy's
court for several months, came to an
abrupt conclusion yesterday afternoon.
Chaplain was accused of stealing gold
watch valued at $65 from Nordman
Brothers, wholesale jewellers, while
employed as their salesman in Septem-
Der, 1907. 1t was admitted by At
torney Hanley for the prosecution yes
terday that as the cases and the works
were kept separate IL the warehouse,
the value of either would not bring
the charge within grand larceny, and
as the statute of limitations barred a
charge of petty larceny, he asked that
the case be dismissed. The order was
made.

REALTY BROKERS
DENY FAKE SALES
B. Guzzi & Co. Refute Charge
OF Having Victimized Pros
pective Purchasers

BENJAMIN Guzzi. one of the partners
in the firm of B. Guzzi & Co., real
estate dealers OF So4 Montgomery
street, denied in an indignant state
ment yesterday the charge of the San
Jose real estate association that the
concern had victimized 500 or more
persons by selling them lots in a wild
and rugged region 10 miles from Los
Gatos and five miles from Almaden,
under the representation that the land
was but few minutes walk from
each town. Guzzi states that his firm
did not sell a single lot in the tract,
and only took the names of intending
purchasers. without requiring so much
as deposit.
1T may be- Guzzi said, that the
circular describing the lots misrepre-
sented them, but this we could not
know. Montgomery, owner of the land,
had the circulars printed and sent them
to us to give to persons making in
quiries about the lots.
The way we became concerned with
the lots, in the small part we had in
their sale, was this: Montgomery came
into our offices and asked us to handle
his lots. which he said were suitable
for camping sites. They were to sell.
he said, at SIS each and we told him
that we could make no money at that
price.
All you will have to do Mont
gomery told US, is to allow me TO
display some views of the sites in
your windows and then take the names
of persons who become interested in
the lots. When so persons are ready
we will have an excursion
I'VE were to get commission on the
lots sold, but we did not know. of
course, if the representations made in
the circulars which we gave to in
tending customers were correct We
had no way of knowing.
Now, we took no deposit on the
lots and merely took the names of 10
or so people who called to ask about
them.
THE statement accredited to the San
Jose real estate association that we
victimized 500 or 400 persons by sell
ing them lots is. therefore, false and
unwarranted. We did not sell one lot
and did not try to. All Montgomery
requested us to do was to get names
for the proposed excursion. We al
lowed him to put his photographs in
our window and took names of those
interested. That is ALL

/. CHICAGO, April 2S.-A wife has a
right to rob her husband, according to
a decision of Judge Gemmell in the
municipal court yesterday. Gustav
H. de Kolky had his wife arrested for
taking his money by force.
My wife robbed me right in my own
home" said De Kolky. "She got a
boarder and her brother to help hold
me. Then she went through my pock-
cts and got S11."
Did you rob him?" Mrs. de Kolky
was asked.
YES. l did, she said. There was no
other way to get money out of him.
He hasn't given me cent for over a
year. So decided to rob him. 1 called
my brother and we held him and 1 got
what was in his pocket"
This is plain case of robbery. but
it was perfectly justifiable under the
circumstances" said the court THE
