A rpmarkable case, rendered so by

the striking likeness between twinbrothers, confronts the. police in theirofforts to fasten the guilt for the deathof Policeman William H. Hems, whoivaa shot down In cold blood in a rowon crime stained Barbary coast yester-day morning and who died a few min-

ute? later while being rushed to a hos-pital.

Thomas O. and James Young, twin

brothers. IT years old. are held for

the crime. James Young has

down and in a confession has charged

the murder to his brother. ThomasYoung declares his innocence and says

that liis brother's ttatement is false,

that he is the innocent twin and thatthe shot v.-as fired by James. Tostrengthen Thomas" statement, the re-

volver with which witnesses say Hemsv.-as kiiled was in James Young's pos-

session when he was arrested. A dozenwitnesses, however, have identifiedThomas Young as the murderer. Ineach case the identification was madeby the difference in the clothing;tjiebrothers wore, it being almost impos-

sible to tell them apart by their fea-tures.ISACH ACCUSES OTHER •

Standing face to face in a corridorof the city prison the twins passed thelie to each other yesterday morning,

and James Young pronounced the

words that beyond doubt willsend hisbrotheY to the gallows: <V v

"That is my twin brother. Isaw him

shoot the policeman as the policemanleaned over to pick him up."

This statement was made further to

cement the evidence contained in a

confession which he had already made.When Thomas Young heard his

brother turn against him he raised his

hand above his head, blazed fiercely at

his twin and Ehouted:'"I deny it. You He; it was you that

fired the shots."The brothers were led back to their

separate cells. Later they were takenin charge by Identification DetectiveSergeant Ed Gibson to be photo-

graphed. Their pictures, counterparts

(except where Thomas Young's bruisedand puffed lips protrude), were laVcsed numbers 15*214 and 19215. In filing

them away Sergeant Gibson discoveredthe photograph of an older brother,

Charles A. Young, who served a twoyear term In San Quentin for burglary

committed in Amador county. A pic-

ture of any one of the three might

pass for all, so remarkable is the(ur.siiy resemblance.

Precedent has shown that it is al-most impossible to secure a first de-gree conviction for the murder of apoliceman, but in the present case the

police believe that, despite the conflictthat may arise in establishing identi-ties of twins who are as alike as peas

In v pod, their case is complete.

KEUIKS OX LIKENESSThomas Young declared lightly yes-

terday that he would be cleared."Who can say positively whether it

was 1 or my brother who fired theshot?" he asked. "Iadmit doing theshooting in the saloon, but my pistolwas taken from me in there. Who hadthe pistol that killed the policeman?The man who had it must have fired

the shot and that man was my brother."Thomas Young's attitude has worried

tlie police, but they maintain that theircase has not a single weak link.Crowded Barbary coast, peopled withmen accustomed to crime in all itsphases, accustomed nightly to seeing

and mingling in brawls, witnessed thecold blooded shooting, and so many eye

witnesses have volunteered testimony

that only those whose versions were

the clearest have been accepted by De-

tectives Wren, 'Riordan and McMahon,

who have been detailed on the case.Four sailors. J. J. Bowrassa, James

Wexler and J. J. Cadott from the Kan-sas and George H. Bowman from theMinnesota, together with Emil Van-nucci, bar tender in the O. K. saloon^where the trouble first started, RobertPacheco, a waiter in the same place,

and Michael Maloof, a customer who

tiocd at thi end of the bar, have beeneubpenaed to tell of the initial troubleIn which Thomas Young attempted toshoot Pacheco in an argument over thepayment for some beer he, his b/otlier

.and the sailors had Just drunk.But for the alertness of a nameless

dance hall girl Pacheco would havebeen killed. Young's revolver being

knocked down by her hand as ho flr«dat the waiter. The bullet set fire toYoung's trousers leg, through which itpassed, and the burned garment willesEist the case of the prosecution, aswitnesses on the outside agree that theman whose clothes were afire killedHems.TWO MEX OFXEBVE-

Following the killingof Hems, theYoung brothers fled eastward to Mont-gomery street and along Montgomery

street to Jackson, where they parted,

Thomas diving into a vacant lot at thenorthweft corner and James continuingio a saloon at Jackson and Kearny

Ftreets. Joseph Branchl, who lives atthe Montana house in Pacific street,and F. H- Van Syele, a Morse patrol-man, were the only ones with nerveenough to follow the murderers afterHems was shot. The two, running sideby side a few paces behind the fleeingbrothers, agreed each to take a man.Van Sycle chose Thomas Young andBranch! selected James.

Branch! followed James Young intothe saloon, saw him attempt to hidethe weapon which he said his brotherhanded to him after shooting Hems,and grappled with him just as Police-man John Rocca and John Fullalove, asecond Morse patrolman, burst in thedoor, having seen the two men enter.

When TUomas Young attempted tohide in the darkness of the vacant lotVan Sycle drew his revolver and mount-ed guard on the corner, waiting forassistance. The fugitive could not befound at first when other police officersarrived to begin a search, and whenJames Young was arrested in the sa-loon all but two of the policemen, notunderstanding that there had been twomen involved, gave up the hunt.
