' POLITE BURGLARS. THE BURGLARS ROOM IN A RESPECTABLE1 RESIDENCE Seemed Well-bred and Quite Weal tby Body of the One Shot ' ; " Is Identified aB that of J. Goldsteins He Had a ' ' Partner. " ' Oaklind Nov 23. The murder of Pol.ceman James H. Smith has led to the discovery of a - robber's retreat established in the home of a respectable aid unsuspecting fami ly, and' to the recovery of ' large quantities of stolen j iwelry.- which people of-Oaklaod have long miss ed.' The house is owned by Mrs: W. . Steadman tfGrove street.- ' 1 Ttaat- the? murderer' has escaped from; Oakland is - generally ffconced- ed, and the search for- him has been extended to include -San Franciso and the help of the San- Franeiec police aeked but his home ' n Oakland which he shared With his .partner, now deau, nas Deen lound and starched, and a rich reward baa been the Result. It is 9aid-that all the mieaing Crellln 'diamoads are among the jwtla recovered. For two weeks tne robbers lived, in the room, their .gentlemanly manners. neat. attire,, jewelry and apparent wealth ttjmping them as men of position, and they! were takm rinto tb.e little family circle on . Tnanks- giving evening and dined with Mrs, Steadman and her friends and fam Mrs. Steadman a lo-year-old son Ross, today identified the . body of the dead robber as v that pf J. Gold steinv. one,, ot;, the two ,men who roomed in his mother a, house. He said the other, man went by. the name of Cinary. The information was acted . .upon at- once. Police bufrted'to r lh6oWlrJM"r8.-Steai man Si house and there was . found conclusive evidence .that the pair were the burglars that have . been operating in Oakland's fashionable residence, district, .bain ng , the . po- :oe in every en. rt at capture .and finally causing Policemen, Smith to be detailed on. the mission that re sulted jn his murder.-. J.... . Y . .IoveEtieatioD has disclosed : the fact that the murderer of Policeman Smith visited .his room in the S tead man residence soon after the shoot ing and that he left a' note for. hid companion, hot" knowing then that Goldstein had been mortally wduhd 'byh6 pdlicfeman, ; ; y"i.hey.appearea yery geotieman fy tolm'V, said MrpiSteadman. "Ih fact I put them'dowh to be' college student".. ,I furpished them, with some of their meals and their con versation and. table .manners were perfect. They appeared to have a fifge" supply,or'Tjioney--,and their rooin' was filled with all sortaof val uable articles'. I saw their dia monds and other . valuable jewels I did not think anything of this rfor they appeared ; to be such gentlemen that I thought they had a right to have such things. . . 7 Mrs. Steadman, however, does not know so much of the affair . as does her eighteen-year-old son, Ross Steadman. He saw more -of the pair than did bis mother. In fact a portion of the time he was . their companion, not realizing that he was associating with two experi enced burglars. . They, made 'the same impreBsidn upon him- as they did upon his mother. . From his story it seems that "Canary," or the murderer of Policeman Smith, al though the younger of the pair, was apparently the: leader. , During the fwo weeks that Goldstein and Cana ry were lodging with Mrs. Stead man the young - man was in their company a great deal. " The "two burglars ate their Thanksgiving dinner with Mrs. Steadman and a'few friends.- . They were in cited to do so by Mrs. Steadman and in return for' her; invitation ihey presented her with an expen sive box of candy. J : 1 v ' ' By invitation of Goldstein young Steadman went hunting yesterday, returning home in the afternoon. Within ; a few hours afterwards, Goldstein -and Canary started out to operate in the ; Lakeside district, there to meet Policeman Smith and to engage, in a fatal pistol duel. It was rather late at night before Ross Steadmnh" heard of the trage dy, but as sooq as he secured a de scription of the dead burglar he vis ited the morgue and identified tbe B. F. IBTINS Editor and. Proprietor. body as that of Goldstein. - ; Immex' diately after Ihe identificatiQn by young Steadman the police went to the Iedgiogs of - the brace "of ' burg'-' fars and. the first thing to meet their gaz9 was a note left-in a prominent plac9 on a table. This note the po lice' have and its contents they are withholding; but according td-Sjead man the hole reads '.f - s . ;"I will be back in a few darsw Wit for me. ' , 7 , CANARY." . , Plunder of all sorts and value was found-in the room of the burg lars.' J ust as was told them'- by young Steadman, the pjlice found diamond rings and trinkets, silver- wareand other valuables'. Allrwas carted off to the police EtationV and. it is said" the 1 Crellrn family has identified a portiuu of the valuablaa as having been Btoltn from their residence. -. - . , The murderer was within a hair mile of the scene of the shooting for more than ah hour effer, ' Commit ting the deed. Policemfan? Smith was shot at the corner ol Fourteenth and Jackson streets. The burglars then rah down Fourteentb street to Oak Btreet. Here Goldstein,Jmbr tally: wounded, dropped and almost, immediately- passed away. Tbetf murderer turned the corner of Oilc street, ran on Oak street one block: to Thirteenth street and then went two, ; blocks i west on - ,Thirteeritll, street, reaching Jackson and Thir-T-teenth., .These facta are proved by the statements of officers oa the Hay wards electric line. They say a. young man, considerably out. of breath, greatly flustrated, and . car rying some nsw clothes' on 'his left arm and a bundle in his right hand, boarded their car at Thirteenth and Jackson streets. In every pariicu lar be. answered the description ;of Canary, and furthermore he board- ' ed the car within a few minutes af ter the shooting. ' ' "Did you hear those shots? There were two, aud then four followed,?' breathlessly paid the JQung, man ta Conductor V.oung, who came.; for-r ward to colitehis fair. 'The" cm -dnctoiv'saidthAt bj$im&?9 ba . ' car was crossing the Twelfth-street dam when the shooting occurred". - "Tne young man ; spoke with, an English accent," said . Conductor Young today. ' ' He was very ner vous aud could hardly get his hand into bis pocket to pay his fare. H ashed me if my car went along San Pablo avenue. I .told him . th at it. did not," but gave him a transfer to that line. Ha left my car at Thir teeoth and Broadway and boarded a San Pablo avenue car. He got off at Eighteenth and San -Pablo avenue I have since learned." From this statement It ' will be s?en that "Canary" evidently walk ed west one block , on Eighteenth, street to Grove s reet and then a few feet jah 1 Grove 'street1 o Xhi SJead man1 residence, He was beard io come in and go to bis room and 'lat ter to leave. The note that tbe po lice' foand In bis ' room was written by him otf'that visit ''and' :was" in tended for bis companion-- From the statement made by tbe Steadman family the pair of burg, lars must ' have had ''some place where they changed -their clothes before undertaking to climb a porch'. ' U Hh. would "always leave the house fashionably attired and come borne in that manner, but the body of Golds'ein when found was cloth ed in garments not any too clean and bearing marks of. bis climbing, as did his tennis shoes. , Washington, Nov. 28 The offi cials of the navl (hs-rvatory are arranging to' ''' d 1 N Year's greeting from W iit ' v. to ; all the countries ot lu u il.zad world by the employment uf a series of signals to all points to mark the exact second of the beginning of the new year. A similar planwas em ployed successfully last year in the case of the United States, and it is now intended to extend the service this year, to covet the continent of North and South America; the dis tant insular possessions of the Unit ed States and all points in the world having the necessary cable and tel egraphic connections in case the co-operation of foreign governments can be secured, of which there is scarcely a doubt. ' 1 Last year the receipt of the midnight signals was accurately timed at the Lick.
