San Francisco Man Says He Found It

San Francisco Oct. 262For five years William Bastain has been ac- cepted by local business men as a re- spOnsibie citizen, with a profitable wholesale jew lry business. His prop erty investme It's have been numerous and large: u tusands of dollars have been sent by m to support his mother in Germany, 4nd his young sister has had the best educational and social ad- vanJages Today he lies in the city prison. a confessed rObber, with a rec Q 1 covering many years, captured by
 fpet bull pup who pinned him in a Corner as he stole through a backyard in the night.
 My work has been so easy it has been laughable," Bastain told the de- tectives when he finally broke down.
 T have never been disturbed while at work. The people I did business with believed me to be what I repre- scented myself absolutely. Jewellers bought my diamonds and the mint took my melted gold without question.
 T have always been a natural thief and I have found it easy to steal things, but l am aVerse to killing or injuring. l had never been in a posi- ton where l had to shoot until Friday night. My reluctance to use my re- volver caused my capture"
 Bastain was making his way across the yard of the home of Ulrich de Brunner Friday night when Miss Jen- nie de Brunner's dog discovered him. The uprOar brought the girl to the scene and while the dog held the man she summoned the police.
 Evidence to substantiate Bastains alleged confession is said by the police to have been found in his handsomely fitted apartment where he lived with his young sister. The girl was ignor- ant of his source of revenue, he said and the police were inclined to believe him.
 Among the numerous burglaries to which Bastain is said to have con- fessed was the footing of the home of s. N Wood 3, wealthy merchant, of $5,000 in jeWelry last Decembe

 The diplomatic slate, says the Ba- per, is now cleaned and it cannot be tee strongly insisted that any refusal of General Huerta te respect his uR : deftalSing not to accept the Breside1- cy, or any violence shown towards prisoners or otherwise would create a new situation entitling Great Britt ain to reconsider her recognition.
