TAYLOR FOUND GUILTY Two Theft Cases Disposed of by the Assize Court—Benson Case this Afternoon The Assize Court which was convened yesterday morning con- tinued again in the afternoon. Rex. vs. Taylor The first case called was that of the King vs. Taylor . W. E. Fisher was crown prosecutor, and A. M. Manson appeared for the defence. The prisoner was charged with having stolen $15 from a pocket book lying on a counter in a Hazelton drug store. This occurred about six months ago and the prisoner having e! ected a jury trial, has since been detained in jail at New Westmin- ster . The evidence appeared 19 bring out that the proprietor was in the store during the whole time that the money was lying 07 the counter with the exception of about a minute and a half, and that the accused was. the only person in the store at the time. Another point was brought out is the fact that one of the bills stolen was of a rather unusual character and that the accused had shortly after the theft hand- ed over such a bill to one of the local storekeepers. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty. Rex vs. Washington The next case was the King vs. Leon Washington, charged with entering the store of Henry Le- tournean, on Sixth Avenue, with intent to steal. The following jury were selected: D. H. Morri- son, foreman, J. 8S. Gray, H. C. Black, V. A. Cole, C. A. Haward, F. R. CG. Brown, Geo. Levick, H. O. Crew, J. W. Potter, A. R. Phil- lips, H. B. Rochester and Lee L. Baker. The chief witness was Miss Letourneau, who lived with her brother in the store building. She was awakened during the night by noises and rising to discover the cause found a man whom she believed to be the accused. The case was unfinished at 6 o'clock when the court adjourned. During the afternoon the grand jury brought in true bills in the cases of Rex vs. Wilson and Rex vs. Benson, and these cases will be tried at the present assizes, Today's Court Sitting The assize court resumed this morning at 10.30 with the con- tinuation of the case Rex vs. Washington. The evidence for the defence was that he had been on familiar terms with the lady who lived in the house, and on the occasion on which he was arrested he had been under the influence of liquor, and had no recollection of entering the build ing. He had no criminal intent in his mind in any case and there was nothing in the tinshop that he would desire. The lady in question denied all his state- ments with regard to her, The judge in his charge show- ed that’ the crown must show that the accused entered the building to steal as this was the only point charged. He also re- minded them that British law knew no race or color, ana ask- ed them to be unbiased in this case where the accused was col- ored. At going to press there was no verdict. The next case was that of Rex vs. Benson, who was cherged with stealing lumber and other building material from the West- holme Lumber Copany. The “ase is still unfinished.

O. MORE SHIPS TO MEXICO — Winnipeg, Dec. 41—John Kra- fcenke, the notorious criminal who is charged with robbing the Bank of Montreal at Plum Coulee and murdering Manager Arnold, was captured yesterday in a house on College Avenue, St. Johns, where he was known as @ student by the name of Andrews. Strong suspicion being point- ed in his direction the house was surrounded by a squad of twenty police. Half a dozen of them burst into the room where the al- leged student -was writing. As soon as he saw them he exclaim- ed, “It’s all up; I'll come quietly. I never did intend to shoot any- body anyway.” Two loaded revolvers were found in his room, one under the mattress. Fifteen hundred dol- lars of the stolen money has al- so been discovered. This was found in packages that were hid- den in the ground in different parts of the city. It appears that soon after the hunt for him started he assumed the name of Dr. Fairchild, and that under this assumed name and profession he treated two ROBBER WHO KILLED THE BANK MANAGER CAUGHT IN WINNIPEG HAD BEEN KNOWN AS A STUDENT NAMED ANDREWS — 20 POLICE SURROUNDED THE HOUSE—HE TOOK HIS ARREST VERY COOLLY McBride would restrain the flocking to would be a good thing if the in- flux of prohibited for come, curred with the ernment because the slackness of railway work in the United States this winter tremendous influx this province. intend holding their next regular dance in the patients.
