GOODMAN slain
|. IN BASEMENT OF
PRODUCE HOUSE
j. S. Rogers and Tony Sar-
mcnto, Employees of Firm,
jailed as Suspects
One Owed Salesman Money; No
Trace Found of Stolen Gems
or Hammer Slayer Used

In the dingy basement of the San
Francisco Produce companys store at
Oregon and Front streets detectives
yesterday found the place where Ben
jamin A. Goodman, the young jewelry
salesman, was beaten to death with
lather's hatchet some time late Satur-
day night or early Sunday morning.
The spot where Goodman fell under
the murderers blows is in the cellar
way directly beneath the place where
Goodman's body was found early Tues
day under the grape pomace in the
gutter in Oregon street. Fresh blood
stains on the wall and floor and the
presence of two bloody sacks in an
other part of the cellar tell the grew
some story of the killing.
When the police had finished the ex-
animation of the basement they ar
rested three employees OF the produce
company. They are John S. Rogers,
who resides in the Edison hotel at
Kearny and Sacramento streets; Tony
Sarmento Of 1899 Eddy street and NJ.
Frattini of All Vallejo street Frattini
was later released. The other two will
be held pending further inquiry into
their movements since Saturday, when
Goodman was last seen alive.
A search of Sarmento's room last
night failed to reveal any evidence of
the crime. All three denied any knowl-
edge Of the killing.
The police are satisfied that Goodman
met his death in the cellar and they
reason that the perpetrator of the muir
der was one who had access to the.
place.
Rogers owed Goodman money Some
time ago he purchased diamond ring
