All the conversations which the officer had with White was when no one else was present except Deputy Sheriff Waters. Mr. Getchell said that he told White that he (White) had sold a bar of gold to Elis in Grass Valley and that Shoecraft was’ with him at the time. ‘This White admitted: was so. The Sheriff also testified to visiting the spot where the plunder was supposed to have been buried.

At the opening of the afternoon session Deputy Sheriff John H. Pascoe was called. He testified that on the day White was arrested (March 2d) he was at the courthouse. White was placd in the cell with Shoecraft at about 12:30. He heard a conversation between them White stepped into the cell where Shoecraft was, sayiuz, “Jesus Christ, I am up against it.” He spoke of his wife and his babies, and said Shoecraft was the only man that could clear h'm. White said he had the stones stolen from Crawford’s, that they were buried in bis yard, and he was the only man knew where they were. Shoecraft begged White to return them to Crawford and White said he; would do it next morning and Crawford would not know where they came from. White went on to say that Getchell came near “pinch'ing” him on the mortar they stole. He admitted being at Marsh’s mill with . Shoecraft and robbing it. Shoecraft ‘spoke of having sent Whitea note, and urged White to doas the note asked. re 2 White said the trinkets they had buried had disappeared. Shoecraft told White he proposed to tell the truth to the authorities. White said when he got oat of this scrape he would quit thie thieving business. White admitted that Shoecraft had him ina hole, but said if the latter would help him out and had to go to prison himself he (White) would help get him pardoned.Cross-examined—While White and Shoecraft were in the cell together I was secreted over the plank ceiling. There were cracks between the boards. I went up there just before 12:30 and secreted myself. I was there fourty or fifty minutes. White was then taken down stairs and I got out of the hiding place. [At this point the defendant and his attorney expressed a desire to retire from the court-room for a private conference, and the reguest was granted.) Five minutes later the defendant and Judge Walling returned iuto the court. The latter said he hud no more questions to ask. . District Attorney Power said this concluded the case of the people, Judge Walling announced that the defense had no testimony to offer at this time. “We ask that the accused be held for trial in the Superior Court” said Mr. Power. " “The prisoner is bound over to answer,” said Judge Holbrooke. “I will fix the bail at $3000. Inthe meantime the prisoner is remanded t9 the cus tody of the Sheriff.” Judge Walling protested that the bond was exce:sive. He thought that $2,000 should be ample. The District Attorney called atteation to the fact that Shoecraft wasuader bonds of $5,000, and hoped the Justice would not reduce the amount in this case. Court adjourned and some of the friends of White then went out to secure bondsmen for him. While they were gone White stated in the presence of the Justice, Deputy Constable Bailey and the TRANSCKIPT reporter that the story told by Deputy Sheriff Pascoe was an invention. “It was just hatched up,” he said. “{ doubt if { was in the cell at all with Shoecraft, and I didn’t exchange more than three or four words with him.

It Rests:Upon a Familiar Character of Chicago, . 5 Se RY ed Tragedy in the Life of a Mam Who Was Imnoeent of the Wreng of Which He Was > Accused. ‘ ae He is a picturesque ruin of a man, and if he lived in Paris or Munich or Rome or any other place where art students congregate he could make a comfortable tiving as a model, and _ his clagsic face probably would go down to posterity in many great paintings. This face, which is is finely chiseled as that of the Apollo Belvidere, is familiar to thousands of Chicagoans whose business takes them frequently to the heart of the city. [It belongs to an individual who has “tramp” written on every inch of his person savé the little square of white that shows under the ragged hat brim and above the shock of tangled, unkempt black whiskers. Here the fine Grecian nose, the clear, calm eyes and the delicately arched eyebrows indicate the man of gentle breeding. He shambles along with a shiftless, aimless gait, but if you look at him attentively you will detect, even under the rags, a certain grace that is reminiscent of the cultured man. His hair, which is raven black, hangs over his coat collar in long, matted curls. His clothes: are ragged and in the last stages of dilapidation, but there is something in his personality that ap~peals~to the sympathy and pity -of scores of people who would see an ordi-} nary specimen of the genus hobo starve to death without a qualm of conscience, Such people slip him a nickel or a dime whenever they meet him, although he never asks for help except with his pathetic eyes. The chances are that not a dozen people of the hundreds to whom this forlorn creature is a familiar object know the tragedy of his life. He never speaks of it himself. Perhaps he has no recollection of it, be@uuse his reason . was clouded by it. Less than ten years ago he came to Chicago from some large town down in the state, full of energy and ambition. He was well educated, dapper (for he is not an old man), handsome and _ fastidious in his dress and personal appearance. He secured a position in a large business house of this city and by dint of application and ability was promoted to.a place of responsibility and financial trust. One day the discovery was made that the funds of the company were being tampered with. The members of the firm jumped to a hasty conclusion and fixed suspicion on this man. Before making a full investigation he was arrested, .charged with embezzlement. Then féllowed the investigation which “showed that he was entirely innocent, and he was exonerated. But the exoneration came too late. el yerr rs .

It Rests:Upon a Familiar Character of Chicago, . 5 Se RY ed Tragedy in the Life of a Mam Who Was Imnoeent of the Wreng of Which He Was > Accused. ‘ ae He is a picturesque ruin of a man, and if he lived in Paris or Munich or Rome or any other place where art students congregate he could make a comfortable tiving as a model, and _ his clagsic face probably would go down to posterity in many great paintings. This face, which is is finely chiseled as that of the Apollo Belvidere, is familiar to thousands of Chicagoans whose business takes them frequently to the heart of the city. [It belongs to an individual who has “tramp” written on every inch of his person savé the little square of white that shows under the ragged hat brim and above the shock of tangled, unkempt black whiskers. Here the fine Grecian nose, the clear, calm eyes and the delicately arched eyebrows indicate the man of gentle breeding. He shambles along with a shiftless, aimless gait, but if you look at him attentively you will detect, even under the rags, a certain grace that is reminiscent of the cultured man. His hair, which is raven black, hangs over his coat collar in long, matted curls. His clothes: are ragged and in the last stages of dilapidation, but there is something in his personality that ap~peals~to the sympathy and pity -of scores of people who would see an ordi-} nary specimen of the genus hobo starve to death without a qualm of conscience, Such people slip him a nickel or a dime whenever they meet him, although he never asks for help except with his pathetic eyes. The chances are that not a dozen people of the hundreds to whom this forlorn creature is a familiar object know the tragedy of his life. He never speaks of it himself. Perhaps he has no recollection of it, be@uuse his reason . was clouded by it. Less than ten years ago he came to Chicago from some large town down in the state, full of energy and ambition. He was well educated, dapper (for he is not an old man), handsome and _ fastidious in his dress and personal appearance. He secured a position in a large business house of this city and by dint of application and ability was promoted to.a place of responsibility and financial trust. One day the discovery was made that the funds of the company were being tampered with. The members of the firm jumped to a hasty conclusion and fixed suspicion on this man. Before making a full investigation he was arrested, .charged with embezzlement. Then féllowed the investigation which “showed that he was entirely innocent, and he was exonerated. But the exoneration came too late. el yerr rs .
