Money for the Monthly Pay Roll Is
Taken From the Messengers!
Who Are Bound and
Gagged
By Associated Press.
BERKELEY, Cal., March 20.-J. B.
Daly, an Oakland liveryman, who was
acting as a messenger for the Central
Bank of Oakland,: was held up and
robbed of $10,000 while on his way to
the Standard OH refinery at Point Rich
mond at 10:30 this morning. There
were two highwaymen, one of whom
was tall and the other. short and stout.
Both carried revolvers, but only the
taller of the men wore a mask. The
short man had a heavy black beard.
The hold-up took place at a point on
the roadway between Stege and Point
Richmond. , ; ... ■' -- ; .
I,Tlie highwaymen j Jumped out of a
clump of brush at the side of the road,
and- at once . covered Daly and former
Deputy Sheriff Al Roach, who was rid
ing with him. At the point of revolv
ers Daly and Roach were compelled to
jump out of the buggy and give up the
tack of gold.. Then the robbers tied
them to a fence and placed gags in
their mouths. .
Daly and Roach freed themselves aft
er considerable difficulty, and proceeded
to Stege station, on the Southern Pa
cific, railroad, about half a mile away.
They rang, up the Oakland and Berke
ley police stations, and Sheriff Veale
of Contra Costa county. In telling his
story over the telephone Dally said
that the highwaymen took their buggy,
as well as their, own dilapidated rig in
which they had driven to the scene of
the hold-up. Travelers coming from
San Pablo said that a man, bearing the
description of the taller of the men
had been seen driving rapidly in that
direction. The short robber, who took
the old rig, took the road in the direc
tion of Berkeley.
It had been the custom of th<» Cen
tral bank to send out $10,000 to the
Standard OH plant for the payment of
the employes once a month, and there
Is but little doubt that the robbers were
acquainted with the fact.
Sheriff Frank Barnett • and several
deputies and detectives from the Oak
land police department started at once
for the scene of the hold-up as soon as
the news reached Oakland. Sheriff
Veale of Contra Costa county, who was
notified at Martinez, has left for Stege.
Constable Moltoza . and deputies are
watching at San Pablo. The belief is
held here that the men will 3oon be run
to earth. ,
Nine thousand of the stolen money
was in gold and $1,000 in silver. The
money was In two canvas sacks, and
the gold was mostl" In twenty-dollar
pieces. ' '".ji"
Victims Brutally Treated
• The hold-up occurred In a lonely spot
known 'as "Death's Cut," where the
San Pablo road crosses the Southern
Pacific tracks, about six miles from
North Berkeley and about four miles
east of Point Richmond. Daly was
driving a bay horse hitched to a light
rubber-tired road buggy. Having as
?ured themselves that the money. waa
in the buggy, the. robbers tied the rIK
and, marching their victims a hundred
yards up the road at the point of their
rifles, bound, gagged and blindfolded
them. Then, dragging them to the side
of the road, in a most brutal manner,
they threw them into a mud puddle,'
having first tied their feet to the
fence, . . , -.
. "Some one will come along in an hour
or so und release . you," cheerily re
marked the taller of the two robbers,
who seemed to be the leader, as they
left the scene of the hold-up, and drovj
away in Daly's buggy.
From the conversation of the thugs
Daly wai able to gather that they were
well acquainted with the affairs of, the
oil company.'. The taller of .the two

better than working for the oil com
pany. ,
The robbers took only pocket knives
from Daly and Roach, and In their
hurry overlooked $60 In Daly's pocket.
Roach managed to . work loose from
his bonds, and untieing his companion
they ran to Stege, where they told their
Etory to Stallon Agent Grady." Their
appearance bore out the story of the
brutal treatment to which" they had
been subjected. . Grady procured anoth
er rig for them, and they drove on to
Richmond, where the authorities were
notified. Armed posses are now scour
ing the district for the robbers.
One of the Robbers Caught
By Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Cal., March 20.— The
horse and buggy taken from Daly and
Roach this morning were found at
West Berkeley tonight -with $1000 In
the buggy. '
A man answering the description of
the robber who wore a soft hat was
caught between San Pablo and Gately
ranch about 7:30 o'clock this evening
and was taken to San Pablo. Both
men were seen riding horseback, and
one was caught.
The heavy man Is still at large In
the hills at Pinole.' Sheriff Veale's
posse is in pursuit. It is supposed that
one of the men took the rig to Berke
ley and then went north and was joined
by his confederate later.' It is thought
that, the rest of the money 'ls hidden
along the road near Stege. The other
man Is surrounded.

PARSIFAL PROVES
GRAND SUCCESS
PRODUCTION AT DELASCO IS
HIGHLY PRAISED
Drama Is Beautifully Staged, and
the Work of the Actors Is
of a Plrst.Class
Order
It Is. to the credit of the people of
Los Angeles that they anticipated thn
wonders of the dramatic version of
Wagner's "I'arnlfal" to the extent of
completely lining the lielnsco^ theater
at the opening performance last even-
Ing and causing an unprecedented ad
vance* sale at that playhouse for the
remainder of the week. Hut it is safe
to assert that no one anticipated the
marvelous results which this stock
company has attained with only one
week's preparation.
By the performance last evening it
whs proven that genius for staging
marvelously effective drumas Is a Bel
asco family trait. And It is certain
that gorgeous as are the productions
of the famous David he has sent noth
ing to Los Angeles which could excel
in splendor the production^ which his
brother Frederic, has biillt'here .on a
week's notice.
Beauty of "Parsifal" « V »■,.">;
"Parslful" is like a golden 'tapestry
Into which has been woven a beautiful
sacred legend of the 'medieval times.
As It unrolls the spectator traces in its
woof a story of evanescent beauty. Its
Knights of the Grail, the Grail Itself,
the Sacred Spear, "the Guileless Fool,"
the gardens of the magicians, fasten
themselves into the mind with a force
that is peculiar for any dramatic per
formance. About the entire production
there Is cast the spell of Wagner's
charming music.
It is almost an opera. Many musi
cians have been added to the regular
orchestra of the Belasco theater and
Mr. J. N. Laraia has been brought
here from San Francisco to direct it.
To him there is much credit due and
also to Mr. Charles Henley, whet di
rected the vocal music. ■ Harold For
man, the boy soprano, although not
appearing on the stage, renders two
delightful solos. .. :-"
The degree of reverence which is put
Into a theme so nearly sacred by a
stock company using a dramatized ver
sion of a grand opera and producing
it on only seven days' practice Is as
tonishing. There is very little which
even the most hypercritical could find
to condemn. The three acts of this
"Parsifal" are continually In harmony
with their subject. By a series of
wonderful stage pictures it rises grand
ly to the final climax. The last scene
Is the strongest of them all. The re
turn of Parsifal, "the guileless fool,"

and his healing of the King Amfortas

As Kundry, Amelia Gardner cast aside
the personality by the almost continu
ous use of which she has won her wny

She wore a dark wig of flowing tresses
with a great display of beauty. Her
weird laughter was startling.
Joseph Galbralth also displayed re
markable hlßtrionlc ability as Pnrslfal.

GOOD BILL AT ORPHEUM
Large Audience Welcomes Storm-
bound Performers
Seats were sold out at the Orpheum
long before the- performance began.
The bill this week is a decidedly inter
esting and spectacular one, every num
ber on it meeting with approbation.
Peschkoff's company of Russian
dancers, in gorgeous costumes, ren
dered several national dances, remark
able for their grace and vigor. Piwitt's
mysterious face had the power, to con

Powell's electric marionettes are an en
tire show in themselves, with their
brilliant figures and colored spouting
fountains. . .
The music and songs — the latter es
pecially—of Mallory Brothers, Brooks
anflHolllday are novel and entertain
ing. Miss Mabel McKinley, an Ameri
can soprano, whose first song, the
Sembrlch Waltz, was sung In French,
has a voice of considerable power, j She
was recalled several times. The
Brothers Rossi did strenuous work
throwing one of their number disguised
as a dummy all over the stage without
breaking' any of his bones, j As usual
the motion pictures were very interest
ing, a number of scenes in New York
being presented. A trip on the ele
vated, is realistic.
