16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, APRIL 21, 1895. SCALPING STILWELL 0. C. Miller Digs Up a Bit| of the Detective’s Record. SERVED TIME IN CANADA. Convicted of Criminal Libel and Sentenced to Fine and Imprisonment. as an expert, the construction of the founda- tion of a new ferry depot at the foot of Market | street, and as same has been officially brought | to your attention, it occurs to me that perhaps you would like to know something of his per- sonal history. Ibeg leave to offer you the in- { closed information. | Ihave known C.J.Stilwell for a period of eight years in San Diego County, and elsewhere in this State. During his residence in San Diego he was known as a disreputable charac- ter, and wholly addicted to the excessive use | of intoxicating liquors, and was not regarded as a reputable citizen. Ihave seen a certified copy of proceedings of court from Canada, wherein it is shown that C. J. Stilwell was con- victed of eriminal libel. I inclose herewith of the court proceedings Other facts rching Stilwell’s bad character have been to my attention, and may be shown to your honorable body, if you sodesire. Very | respectfully yours, 0. C. MILLER. In an interview yesterday Mr. Miller said: “I could add a great deal to what I have said about Stilwell, but 1 do not care to speak further on the subject unless I am called upon by the Grand Jury, when I shall certainly be able to substantiate everything I have said.” A certified copy of the court proceedings in Canada was transmitted by Mr. Miller o Hon. W. H. Gagan, foreman of the and Jury. The transcript in full is en herewith. Those who have interested themselves in Mr. Stilwell’s history have secured otber documentary evidence touching his career which will be laid before the Grand Jury in case the members of that angust body desire to further acquaint themsleves with the antecedents of the expert who recently furnished them with materials on which to bas igation. : Sheriff D. J. McIntyre of Cornwall, On- tario, Canada, writes as follows: “C. J. Stilwell convicted of the crime of libel.

Local Registrar High Court of Justice, Clerk of Assize, etc., United . Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. same detective writes: *‘I ascertained that Harbord and his wife kept ‘sly brothels’ or ‘accommodatién houses’in various parts of the country,and so their movements were as far as possible kept secret; in fact, they were convicted of keeping a brothel in Lord Nelson street, Liverpool, and Stil- well lived there, knowing it to bea brothel. By appointment I saw Mr. Cooper, the secretary of the Liverpool Typographical Society, and with him examined the books of the society, and found that Stilwell was admitted a member on November 14, 1874, and was expelled November 9, 1878, for ‘ratting,’ meaning that he had taken employment av a place not allowable un- der the society’s rules. I made further inquiry as to Stilwell’s connection with the forgery of Brazilian stamps. He was sus- pected because he was living at the same place as Byone, who was in possession of the dies for making the stamps and that he and Stilweli were closely associated with each other; and it was proven, also, that he knew what Byone was doing, and so was an accessery, for which he could have been criminally charged had the | offense been proceeded with. Stilwell would probably remember me, as I adjudi- | cated on the case in my official capacity.” As throwing some light on Stilwell's character, a letter, of which the following is a copy, will be submitted to the Grand Jury: PORTLAND, Christmas Night. Mr. Larry Barton—MY DEAR LARRY: I know what you want, but I cannot give it to you. My experience with him cost me $1300 in three months, and my confidence in him left me without a chance to get even. All that I know of him is what he told me. He said that he was born near Liverpool, Eng- land, and was a printer by trade. He is a prac- tical printer. He had charge of a school of some kind in which the pupils were taught the type-setting business. My recollection of what he told me was that he was & reporter on a commercial paper in Liverpool and sailed on the steamship Indiana, Captain Sargeant. When he landed in Phila- delphia he took a trip to Canada and there got married. | I have heard alt kinds of stories about him | as to his former wife and why he had to leave | Liverpool, but I do not recollect the story. If you have a correspondent in Liverpool he should dig up his history for you. His nature is dishonest, I believe, as he .ried to take ad- vantage of my parents’ confidence in me. Whnile writing this I remember that I was told that he was compelled to leave Canada one night and that he had to leave England. His father-in-law, Poulin, I don’t believe knows | anything about his history previous to his | arrival in Canada. | The man has & record, I am sure, and I will tell you why. One night I had blood in my eye and had a man by the throat and felt like killing him. Stilwell took hold of me and said: “Let him go. You will do time if you don’t watch. I diditand I know what I am | talking about.” A newspaper man tumbles if heis hit and I tumbled then, but it was too late. Fancy this letter may give you a pointer, and if I can give you apy more suggestions let me | know. Liverpool is the place tnat you want to hear from first. Yours, R. L. LEE. Septimus de Greayer, a stock broker, said vesterday that he has good reason to remember Private Detective Stilwell. Speaking of Stilwell’s employment asan expert on the ferry foundation, considering his record in the past, Mr. de Greayer said: “I am surprised that such a manas Stilwell could be selected to perform offi- cial duties of any kind where the material | interests of reputable citizens are at stake, | and more especially in such an important | matter as this. { “As far as I know him he is a man with- s out a vestige of honor or trustworthiness. | Shortly after my brother’s death Stilwell | came tome angd said he was going to Los | Angeles to sée about some property. He wanted a loan of $50 as a matter of con- venience fora few days. I told him I did not have the money tospare, but he pressed | the matter an® told me he had done me service in the reports of the tragedy in the | columns of the Examiner. Finally hesaid that he wanted the money so badly that he ! would make it a matter of honor with me as to payment. “At Jast I acquiesced and gave him $50, | taking his note therefor, in which he | agreed to pay the money ten days after date. That was on June 11, 1892. He | went to Los Angeles, and in order to carry | out his contemptible tricky work he sent me a telegram from there that he would be delayed for a few days and could not | settle the note until bis return. | That was the last I saw or heard of him | until a few months ago, when I met him | in an elevator and I spoke to him plainly | about his deception. He informed me that he would call upon me and pay the note in | a few days and—well, here’s the note, and | I guess it is not worth the paper it’s written | on. “Ihave heard many scaly transactions | mentioned in connection with Stilwell’'s name, but that is the only experience I | ever had with him, and it is enough. He | might have cost me more.” | Harry N. Gray of Gray Brothers, in speaking of the attack made by Stilwell on | his firm, said: “For a long time T have heard rumors of Stilwell’s back history, but have never had | any proof in regard to his derelictions. I i am told, however, that the evidence will be | forthcoming if he demands an investiga- | tion of the charges made against him by | those who pretend to be well acquaintéd | with him. In regard to his insinuations against the company of which I am a member, I desire to say that we never had anything to do with the furnishing of the cement used in the ferry foundations. “Everybody who knows the facts wiil tes- tify that Tam telling the simple truth when I say this. It seems rather hard that a reputable business man should be made to suffer by being pilloried by an ex-con- vict,a man who has been convicted of criminal libel and has served time iu jail for that crime. A man who has once been punished for unlawful assaults upon char- acter ought to ¥he more careful I should think. Yet it appears that after com- ing here Stilwell has gone into the same kind of business that he followed in Canada. Bo far as his accusations against Gray Brothers are concerned every- thing that he’ says in his report is abso- lutely false.” THE MORTUARY RECORD.

Engineers Have Pushed Into the Valley Away From Post- offices. A call for a meeting of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway directors to be held to-morrow was issued by Secre- tary Mackie yesterday. After last week's respite from their labors the directors will find a large volume of business before them, and if matters move along smoothly at this meeting a great deal will be accom- plished. The certificates of stock have been written in the offices and are now ready for distribution among subscribers. As all the trustees will not be in town to-morrow in all probability the issuance of stock will be delayed for a few days. Anyhow the stock is ready to turn overto them for their signatures before presenting to the people, whose public spirit and liberality swelled the total amount to about $2,500,000. Specifications for locomotives have been prepared by the chief engineer in conjunc- tion with the committee on rolling stock, and as this committee is expected to report this week it is believed llmt bids will be advertised for three locomotives. The kind selected are from fifty to sixty ton engines for construction work, which can subse- quently be used in hauling freight, and may be utilized in case of necessity for passenger trains. During the week a proposition to buy standard box and flat_cars probably of thirty tons each will be considered, and then an opportunity to bid upon them will be given manufacturers. 2 It has been determined that all rails after the first lot of 2000 tons now on the way shall be sixty-two and a half pounds to the yard. That they may be of standard quality and uniform weight an inspector specially engaged by the company is supervising thefr manufacture in the East. ust as soon as all the work in hand is cleared up early this week canvassers will again visit the local merchants, capital- ists, property-own d others and urge upon them the advi: i subscribing generously to the people’s railway. Those canvassers will have a definite offer to make, and also a splendid showing to present, which in itself ought to convince everybody called upon that the vailey road is now_a bona fide enterprise, with | men of wonderful energy and enterprise at | its head, who can_be depended on to carry | And after | ured the enter- | me dividend.

The engineering corps are away in the San Joagquin Valley running lines south- ward with a vim that partakes of the character of the whole project. They have pushed far away from,Stockton and are now far off from" postotfices and cannot be reached, though reports come from them nearly every day by a mounted carrier to the nearest postoflice. Chief Engineer Storey believes they are now nearly half way between Stockion and the Stanislaus River. VETERANS' HOME. Directors Preparing for the Encampment at Sacramento—Report of the ¥arm Management. The directors and members of the Vet- erans’ Home Association, Associated Vet- | erans of the Mexican War and the Past Department Commanders of California and Nevada, G. A. R., will visit the home at Yountville, Napa County, to-day. They will inspect the home in order that they g may be thoroughly informed when matters | concerning it come up for discussion at the | | twenty-eighth annual encampment of the Department of California and Nevada, which will be held in Sacramento, begin- ning to-morrow. Secretary J. J. Scoville has prepared an interesting report concerning the manage- ment of the association’s business and finances for the past year, which will be In discuss- ing the Yountville property, Secretary Scoville says that many improvements have been made in and about the buildines. A large storehouse for meat, vegetables and wood, with dormitories overhead for employes, has been built near the kitchen. A new morgue has been constructed and hereafter post-mortem examinations, as required by the General Government, will be held on the premises. A 350-light electric plant is bein% con- structed and will be in operation by May By the substitution of electric light: place of gas manufactured from gasoline, a saving of several hundred dollars a year will ge effected, and a much better and safer- light produced. The farming lands, orchards and ornamental gardens around the home are more profitably and artisti- cally laid out then ever before. Every acre of arable land is under a high state of cultivation. There are 100 acres in hay, 40 in barley and 35 now beinF planted to vege- tables for the use of the old soldiers. Last | spring over 1000 fruit and nut trees were set out, and this spring 1700 more were planted, besides over 850 ornamental trees and 300 ornamental shrubs and bushes. In laying out avenues, walks and drive- ways the useful and beautiful have been combined by the plantingof fruit, nut and citrus trees on each side of the tiwrough- fares. Back in the hills are over 250 hogs belonging to the home. 3 . The veterans are taking more interest in their home than tormerly, and disorder and intemperance have almost disappeared. The financial statement of Secretary Sco- ville shows the association to be on a bet- ter footing than ever before. The cash on hand on “April 1, 1894, was $1644 02. Re- ceipts from the State and United States appropriations, canteen, farm, etc., in- creased the amount to $104,868 98. After ail the expenses of running the home and other liabilities, excepting those of last month, had been paid, there remained on hand $10,672 21. The directors, after showing the visitors over the Yountyille premises and present- ing the foregoing report, feel confident that their management will be approved by the Sacramento encampment. ALL QU_IE IN SALVADOR. Ezeta’s Sensational Stories Denied by the Brother-in-Law of Presi- dent Gutierrez. The Pacific Mail steamer City of Sydney, Captain Frank Johnston, arrived yester- day from Panama and way ports, bringing the largest crowd of passengers that has reached here from Central America in a long time. There were seventy passengers in the cabin and quite a number in the steerage. Prominent among them were E. Mejia and family from Salvador. In the latter party were fourteen {;rnona, includin, Carios Gutierrez, the 12-year-old son o | Salvador’s President, and several servants, | i | | | Senor Mejia brother-in-law to the President, and isa very wealthy planter. He is on his way to Europe, and will leave his nephew here to be educated. Mejia ridicules the stories told by An- tonio Ezeta of the wholesale slaughter of the latter’s supporters in Salvador. ““I leit Salvador on the 1st of the month,” said he, “and at that time everything was very quiet, and there had been no trouble at any time previous to my departure. The country has never been in such a state of prosperity as it is under the pres- ent administration. The election wa ver{] satisfactory and passed off quietly.

Harlow of the San Francisco Hand- ball Court had joined the professional ranks and had issued a challenge to play any amateur or professional on the coast, Champion Jones excepted, a match for $50 a side. John Riordan, the coast champion, was preferred. Some doubt having been thrown upon Harlow’s good faith in issuing the chal- Jenge he wrote a letter to the CawLy,in which he said: “My challenge, which ap- peared in last Monday’s CaLL, offering to play J. Riordan or any one else on the Pa- cific Coast (Jones barred), still holds good, and Iam willing and anxious that the CarL shall accept from me the sum of $20 as a deposit to bind a match of $50 a side, as per my challenge above referred to. do this to show that I am acting in good faith.” The $20 was deposited yesterday with the business manager of the'CALL and_will re- main in his hands for a_week waiting for some one to cover it. Ifit is not covered Harlow will claim the championship of the Pacific Coast now held b; lg)iordan, which he would be justified in doing according to sporting rules. If the challenge is accepted one half the games will be played in the San Francisco court, the remainder to be selected by whoever accepts the challenge. CANE 15 0UT ON BAIL The Shooter of the Union Sailor Is Released on Bonds. The Ship Elwell Makes a Quick Passage With a Non-Union Crew. There was a Iull in the proceedings in the sailors’ strike yesterday. The shooting of Stevanus Sandberg by Boarding-house Master John Cane had a quieting effect all around. During the day Cane secured his release by furnishing bonds, and it was rumored around the water front that the unfortunate sailor had had his leg ampu- tated. Sandberg, it has been learned, was not the man who jumped into the bay from the Wachusetts after he had signed. The man who did this was one of his com- panions who entered Cane’s saloon, and it was evident that all three were looking for trouble. The ship Elwell arrived from Nanaimo yesterday afternoon, she being the first to make the round trip since the strike was declared. She took away a crew of Japs, which the union men tried to annihilate before the vessel sailed. Instead of the non-union crew delaying the voyage of the Elwell, they made one of the best voyages of the year, and the captain won a suit of clothes by making the round trip inside of thirty days. The ship Glory of the Seas finally suc- ceeded in getting to sea yesterday after being detained in port since last Tuesday. Captain Freeman said that he would take a non-pnion crew or none, and the union resolved to give him all the trouble pos- sible in going to sea. One of the crew was a union man, and although he signed regu- larly and fast enough the union patrol boat took him off and brougbt him ashore. The police promptly returned the deserter to the ship and the captain went on look- ing for more men. Whenever Freeman appeared on 'change he was greeted with the query, *‘When are you going to sea, captain?”’ and finall; growing weary of the chatfing he exclaime: with energy that he was going Saturday. A writ of habeas corpus was issued_requir- ing him to appear in court on Monday with the body of the deserter. Freeman promptly turned the man loose and sailed without him. IT WAS COSTLY FUN. Two Prominent Young Men Fined for Assaulting a Police Officer. H. B. Graham and R. Cole, alias H. G. Smith, two prominent young men, ap- peared in Judge Low’s court yesterday, the former to answer to acharge of battery and the latter for interfering. with an offi- cer in the discharge of his duty. Graham and Cole were on Stockton street at an early hour last Sunday morn- ing with a few friends. Three workmen were walking on the sidewalk, when they were jostled into the roadway by the young men. The three workmen complained to Policeman A. E. Holmes and he placed Graham under arrest. Graham lifted him into the air. When Holmes got to his feet Cole threw out his right fist and struck him in the eye. Holmes clung to the two young men and held them till the patrol wagon arrived, when they were taken to the City Prison and booked. Graham gave his correct name, but Cole said his name was H. G. Smith and his occupation a laborer. They were both bailed out. Judge Low, after hearing the evidence, sentenced the two defendants to pay a fine of $10 each or be imprisoned for .10 days. The fines were paid. . WHERE DOOTORS WOULD BUILD. They Favor the Panhandle Locality for a College. The Alumni Association of the medical department of the University of California met at 323 Geary street yesterday and elected the following officers: President, Dr. Washington Dodge, class of '84; vice- president, Dr. Franklin F. Lord, class of ’80; secretary, Dr. L. M. F. Wanzer, class of '76; treasurer, Dr. Oscar J. Mayes, class of ’89: executive committee—Drs. John M. Williamson, class of '85, Edwin Bunnell, class of "94, and James McCone, class of '92. Previous to organization there was an informal gathering of the fraternity with a view to taking action on many important matters pertaining to the interests of the srefesswu.among them in particular the isposition of the $250,000 appropriation of the Legislature for the esta% ishment of a central institute for the affiliated colleges, This matter was discussed at length and the preponderance of argument favored the park panhandle as being the most con- venient place for the contemplated struct- ure, provided sufficient funds can be raised to erect a suitable building. To this end the aim of the association is directed. It is the purpose of the alumni to invite all the members of the profession to unite on this and other important matters in order to secure the best possible results. The association will shortly give a ban- quet, when a general invitation will be ex- tended to the medical fraternity. ———————— Dr. Traverse, skin diseases; superflous hair removed by electricity., 1170 Market street.] ~ COLORED AND BLACK FRENCH DRESS GOODS DEPARTMENTS!

Footwear Filosofy and Figures. To start with, these two things may be taken for granted: 1. That everybody likes to buy such things as he wants at the lowest possible price; 2. That without a big, round retail profit the price of Shoes is extremely low. Now comes the plain fact that the largest factory on the coast is selling Shoes at retail at FACTORY PRICES, with only a wholesale and without the retail profit. Conclusion: The big factory is the best place for everybody to buy. The saving is from 50 cents to $3 on a single pair of shoes. Is it an inducement?
