BARRETT IS FREE
FOR TEN SECONDS
Alleged Principal in Big Bull
lion Robbery Faces New
Complaint.

Beset with many difficulties is the path
which Charles Barrett. alias Charles Nc
Cabe, is travelling in his effort TO escape
hearing on the charge OF being one OF
the principals IN the $4,000 gold bullion
robbery from the steamship Humboldt. In
transit. last September, from Fairban nks,
Alaska, TO Seattle.
Barrett had hearing at o'clock
Thursday afternoon before Police Judge
Bowman on grand larceny charge and
was dismissed from custody upon the
sta alement of Prosecutor Moses Davis that
he saw nothing in the complaint to war
rant the further holding Of the defend
ant. Soren X Christensen attorney for
Barrett. then asked for the discharge,
which was ordered. Detective Golding ut
once rcarrested Barrett upon complaint
charging grand larceny. He was taken
before Justice OF the Peace Harry s.
Harper arraigneG. pleaded not guilty and
the time for preliminary hearing set for
this afternoon at O'Clock,
The new complaint upon which the
prisoner was rearrested is. in substance,
the same as the one upon which lie was
discharged. save that it sets forth that on
February 23 a complaint charging grand
larceny was duly and properly filed with
committing magistrate of San Fran
cisco. The Salt Lake officers expect that
a copy of this complaint. with other data.
will be telegraphed them before today s
hearing.
This Barrett McCabe case is. in some
respects. one of the most novel that
has engaged the attention OF The Salt
Lake officers in months. Barrett USs
arrested nineteen days ago. was once dis
charged on n writ OF habeas corpus and
rcarrested on warrant charging him
with being a fugitive from justice. The
grand larceny complaint appears to have
been deficient in charging that the crime
of grand larceny was committed in the
state OF California. while the new COM
plant. upon which il is expected Barrett
will be held for eXtradition. charges the
bringing OF stolen goods into the state
