THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JUNE 3, 1895. MISS HARRINGTON'S MURDER A MYSTERY. The Police Looking for a Well-Known Rac- ing Man. ROBBERY NOT A MOTIVE, Was There a Buggy in Front of the House During the Murder ? SENATOR L. W. BUCK DYING Conflicting Statements of Nelghbors Who Wish to Avold Publicity. the The heads of the Police Department worked assiduously yesterday in trying to anravel the mystery that surrounds the butchery of Miss Ellen Harrington, whose half-burned body was found in her apart- ments at 1017 Ellis street Saturday after- ternoon. Captain Lees spent most of the dayin going through the mass of correspondence found in Miss Harrington’s room, and in examining the 300 or more photographs that belonged to her. Inthe morning the two sisters and brother-in-law of the mur- dered woman came down from Sacra- mento. These are Mrs. Josephine Jack- son, the widowed sister and heir under the will of deceased, and Mr. and Mrs. Daniel ‘W. Rae. They spent several hours in con- sultation with Chief Crowley and Captain Lees, but they could tell the policemen but little that was of value in determining the authorship of the crime. After that con- sultation Chief Crowley went to Oakland, where he spent the afternoon. Two theories were abandoned yesterday and a fourth came to the surface. The last connects a well-known racing man of this City with the crime, but his name is known only to the police and they will not divulge 1t. They donot build upon it very strongly—from their own tell—yet it was deemed important enough to have a couple of detectives at the racetrack Saturday afternoon and have the same men_follow up the clew till late last evening. It isbe- lieved the name of this man was found on the stub-book that Miss Harrington kept of money received from all her lodgers. Captain Lees hasthe stub-book and will permit no one to examine it. The abandoned clews are those that con- nected the Japanese, F. Kano, and the un- known tramp with the murder. Kano's alibi seems to be correct, and besides, he could have had no motive for the deed, The tramp also has an alibi and likewise could have had no motive for such a crime. . Crouse’s nephew saw the tramp walk up the steps to the front door, remain there for a moment or so, and then retrace is steps and go up the street. And then, too, it was nearly 1 o'clock when the tramp made his appearance, and he_ could hardly have secured an entrance to Miss Harring- ’s flat unless she had opened the door invited him to come upstairs. st argument for believing that neither the Jap nor the tramp could have been the murderer is that neither can be imagined to have had a motive for the deed. And it was evidently a crime with a strong and hidaden motive behind it. Robbery could not have been that motive, for aside from the woman’s missing watch she was not robbed. Even the gold chain attached to the watch at the time it was snatched from the victim was not stolen and there were several valuable pieces of jewelry within easy sight and reach that were not taken, besides some gold coins hidden in a not very secure or obscure place—in the bottom of the bair-receiver side the bureau. And yet the murderer had ample time to have secured all the valuables in the room, for he took time to ransack the bureau drawers and go through his vic- tim’s private correspondence. He might have had three-quarters of an hour to spend in the room. It wasa few minutes before 12 o’clock when Mrs. Kellog, who lives in the rear flat on the same floor, last saw Miss Harrington, and it was about 15 minutes of 1 o’clock when the first alarm was given. Fifteen minutes would have been lon, enough for him to have finished his worl Mrs. Josephine Harrington Jackson, Miss Harrington’s Widowed Sister and Heir. and secured much more booty than was taken had his motive been robbery. But why was the watch stolen? The police have their own idea about that. Itisthat the watch was a gift from some one whose initials or monogram might have been engraven on it, and that tne murderer took the watch to destmy the clew that might have been deducted from its markings. And what was the motive? There even the police admit their in- ability to make a reasonable guess that would fit in with any of the known facts. 8he is not known to have had anf’ enemies nor any entanglements that could reason- ably be supposed to result in this way, un- Jess it transpires that the racing-track man, whoever he may be, could have had some interest in her death. And of this the police do not appear any too sanguine. Miss Harrington’s relations with L. W. Buck, the politician and fruitman, who lives in Oakland, are sugposed to have been those of client and business adviser. He called to see her very frequently, and when Mrs. Crouse, the lady who lives downstairs in the same house, was shown & photograph of Mr. Buck she said at once: _*“That is the man with whom Miss Har- rufi:wn keeps company.” _Mrs. Crouse’s identification is very posi- tive. She says he came to the house fre- quently—more than once a week; that he usually came there in a buggy, sometimes drawn by a gray horse and sometimes by a sorrel horse. Mrs. Crouse does not mean to say that she knew of any tender attachment between the couple; but she saw them together very often and drew her own conclusions. Buck, it seems, is looked upon as an old friend of the family and is quite well known by both the other sisters. Mrs. Jackson said vesterday that Miss Harrington was the firss one of the family | to becqme acquainted with him; that she | met him at Dubuque, Iowa, before she came to California. _“Ithink he did some business for my sister,” she said, but of the nature of the business she knew nothing. “‘Sister was always very reticent about her affairs,” said Mrs. Jackson. *‘I know that she was connected in some way with Mr. Buck’s son-in-law, a man named Cary, at Lodi, but I do not know in what way. | She used to tell me not to worry about any | of her affairs. We had not seen her since | 1ast Thanksgiving, when she came up to Sacramento to visit us.” Now, as to whether there was a buggy | seen in front of the house between 12 and | 1 o’clock Saturday afternoon,is a point | upon which no one seems to be absolutel | certain. Many neighbors have been foun who say they did not see the vehicle, but | none of them are willing to say that no | vehicle was there. The immediate neigh- | bors on that side of the street were nearly | all in the rear of their houses, because | there it is sunny, and could not have seen the buggy had it been there. On the op- to them. Who their predecessors were is not remembered by the neighbors. ‘What makes the question as to these previous lodgers pertinent is the theory that the murderer probably had a key to the premises. An ex-lodger who had not returned his key might possibly know something of the tragedy. There is but little tangible about this theory, but the known facts are so scarce that all theories are now carefully scanned before they are dismissed. * The theory of the police that the fatal blows were made with a hatchet has been | modified upon closer inspection of the wounds. A medium-sized monkeywrench could have irflicted them. Such a weapon | is easily concealed, it is pointed out, and one very likely to be carried in a buggy— supposing there was a buggy in front of the door at that time. A number of friends of the murdered woman called at the house yesterday, which is now in possession of Mrs. Rae and Mrs. Jackson. Among the callers was Mr. Dwyer of the Union Iron Works, who had known Miss Harrington for some time. He said that Mr. fiorris, superin- tendent engineer at the Union Iron Works, and his sister, were old friends of Miss Harrington, having once been lodgers of hers. It seems important to know all the dead woman'’s friends now, for some one of them may be able to give a clew that might lead to clearing up what seems now YT Fv‘v Vl""“';_;v.(‘ SR AT Eie i . LU 0 a s i AR DAL THE HOUSE AT 1017 ELLIS STREET WHERE MISS WAS MURDERED. HARRINGTON site side of the street Lawrence Green- aum sat at the front window reading, but his back was to the window and a gozen vehicles might have been there without his knowledge. _On the other hand there is the servant Frl of ex-Supervisor Knorp, at 1027, just a ew doors above, who has said to other neighbors that she saw the vehicle in front of Miss Harrington’s door at the time the murder must have occurred. Some one told her not to talk so much, or she might be called as a witness. Then she said, *Oh, well, I didn’t say what day it was,” and yesterday she was off some- where visiting and could not be seen. Itis uite likely that not only she butall of the immediate neighbors will be sum- moned by the Coroner. And there is the bright little girl of Neighbor Lindo, who has told that she saw the buggy ‘there Saturday at noon, and that her mamma also saw it. But Mr. one in his house knows anything atall about the case. Some of the neighbors seem to be, afraid of becoming witnesses, ax):d are therefore unwilling to say any- thing. Among Miss Harrington’s effects Cap- tain Lees found a second will yesterday, but it isof a previous date, and of about the same tenor, only that W. 8. Ferguson, the uncle of her friend, Mrs. Ferguson, who lives on Jones street, is named as executor. This will reads as follows: SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12, 1893. Be it Known to All: 1f anything happens me, Nell Harrington—Ellen is my real baptismal name—on this trip to Chicago, if anything, saccident or sick should take me away, I" would like my sister, J. A. Jackson, to have all that is left after my bills ~re paid. Also, I would like to have, or [ want to appoint_Mr. W. S. Fer- guson to settle up my affairs for my sister. All my papersare in Mrs. W. S. Ferguson’s care, she will turn them over to her husband to settle for me, or rather for my sister. This isin my own handwriting but written in & hurry day before starting for the World’s Fair. Please attend to for me without any trouble. NELLIE HARRINGTON. T am known as Nell or Nellie, but Ellen I was baptized. I hope this will answerasa will if anything happens me. Miss Harrington had a brother, whose | whereaboutsare unknown at present. About a year ago he saw her and also her two | sisters in Sacramento, and then went, sup- gosedh‘. back to Missouri; but neither Irs. Jackson nor Mrs. Rae know where he is at present. Some have thought from the tenor of Miss Harrington’s wills that they are in a measure prophetic of the awful end that came so suddenly and terribly upon her. But this is more poetic thattruthful. Miss Harrington’s worst fear was of sudden death from heartdisease. Both her sisters are afflicted with the same trouble, and Mr. Rae said yesterday that his wife made her will before preparing to go on a visit East, which visit, however, was prevented by the recurrence of heart troubles. Every one who knew the murdered woman speaks in the highest terms of her and cannot believe that she should have had an enemy. She had quite an en; afiing personality and made friends and kept them. No one so far has told of any quar- rel she ever had. In going over the letters and papers yes- terday several notes were loum{ rom Mr. Buck to Miss Harrington. Captain Lees would not divulge the nature of their con- tents, but Mr. Rea says the captain spoke his mind quite freely on the subjectand did not hesitate to use Mr. Buck’s name in a way that led Mr. Rea and his wife and sister to believe that the captain thought Mr. Buck could throw some light on the subject. Mr. Buck’s dealings with Miss Harrington are shown quite plainly in the letters and other papers. Also they show the dealings she had with Mr. Cy;)xy at 1. The bank-books show that she had $752 in the German Savings Bank, $565in the Humboldt Bank and $234 in the California Loan and Savings Bank, making a total of nearly $1000. ‘Who were Miss Harrington’s previous lodgers during the four years she occupied that flat? Only Captain Lees can answer the question accurately, for he has the stub- book, Mrs. Jackson says. One Hoyt, an actor, and Lillian Beddard, an actress, had the apartments for several months prior to Mp. and Mrs. Kellog’s advent there several months ago. They were very quiet people. Not the least suspicion attaches Lindo says this is not so, and that no | | a most impenetrable mystery, and to this end the police were active yesterday in questioning all relatives and friends. Chief Crowley’s visit to Oakland yester- day was to make a personal investigation of the circumstances surrounding the acci- dent to Senator Buck. He took a carriage in San Francisco, and on arriving in Oak- | land was joined by Detective Denny Hol- land, the most competent of the Oakland | force, who drove with him to the home of | Special Poulson, who was with the un- fortunate man at the time the accident oc- cured. The party then went ‘to Twelith and Castro streets, where Senator Buck was thrown out of the dogeart, and inves- tigated the matter thoroughly. The Chief was seemingly fully satisfied that the fall of the Senator was purely accidental, and after questioning the special closely, came back to the city. _Senator Buck’s movements from the time he reached Oakland from Marysville on Saturday morning, until he was thrown from the cart and fatally injured, seems to have been ascertained to a certainty. From Hackman William Moore, who met him at the Sixteenth-street station, it was learned Mrs. Mary C. Kant Rae, Sister of the Murdered Woman. that the train which should have arnved at11:15 was a few minutes late, and that he drove the Senator to his home at 929 Adeline street, arriving there at 11:35 o’ciock. Members of the family state that Sena- tor Buck did not leave the house from 11:35 until 2:15, when Le went to San Fran- cisco. He returned at about 4:30 and re- mained until 5:30, when he was called for Policeman Poulson. The accident at Twelith and Castro streets was caused by some children run- ning across the road in front of the horse. The animal stopped suddenly and Mr. Buck was thrown out, striking on his head. He was put on an Eighth- street car and rode to Eizhth and Adeline, where he alighted and walked to his home, a block distant, assisted by a friend who met him at the car. At a’late hour last night he was sinking rapidly and was not expected to live until morning. The rumor concerning John Woodlock, the Beale-street merchant, is without the slightest foundation. He did not call at Miss Harrington’s house in a buggy on Saturday. He did not call upon her at all that day, nor at any other time. Some ears ago Mr. Woodlock lived in the same iouse on Eddy street where Miss Harring- ton roomed. Once or twice since then he has seen her on the street. He was very indignant yesterday that a morning con- temporary should have coupled his name T e catled upon_Jhe Shief of Polis aper he led upon the Chief of Police Enseexpl-ined fully his every movement on Saturday. Chief Crowley assured him that there was no suspicion against him. From all that is known at the present moment, from all that came out of the work of the Police Department yesterday, there is as little known about the strange and most brutally perpetrated murder of Miss Ellen Harrington and the motives that prompted it, as there 1s of its terrible twin mystery, the butchery of young Eugene Ware, the clerk in the St. Nicholas drug-store. 3 There is every evidence that Miss Har- rington’s murder was carefully planned— certainly it was most stealthily and skill- fully executed, and had the flames done their work in time not a scrap of evidence to even suggest the murder would have been left behind. CABLE-CARS COLLIDE. - One Passenger Badly Cut by Broken Glass and Others Injured by the Shock. There was a panic on Ellis and Powell streets yesterday morning shortly before 11 o’clock, caused by a collision between an Ellis and a Powell-street cable-car. Car 455 of the Powell-street line was proceeding northward filled with passen- gers and as it reached Ellis street car 552 of the Ellis-street line was approaching the crossing at Powell street on its way to Golden Gate Park. It was also filled with passengers. The gripman of the Powell-street car apparently thought that the Ellis-street car would stop until his car crossed the street and went straight ahead. The re- sult was that the Powell-street car crashed into the Ellis-street car with such force as to drive it off the track. Fortunately the dummy of the Ellis-street car, which was filled with passengers, had passed the Powell-street rails, otherwise some of the passengers would i}ave been seriously in- jured. The glass in both cars was shat- tered into a thousand pieces, and Charles F. Schiller of 2410 Harrison street, who was standing on the back platform of the Powell-street car, had his hands, face and side badly cat. There was & panic among the passengers on both cars. Ladies screamed with fright, and a general rush was made for the street. Several passengers suffered from the shock of the collision, but Schil- ler was the only one injured by the broken glass. Hiscuts were dressed in a drug- store near by. 4 Traffic on both lines was suspended for over an hour. The passengers were loud in their complaints against both gripmen, and several expressed their intention of lodging a complaint with the proper authorities. ON THE CRICKET FIELD, The Alameda Club Defeats the Bohemian at Klink- nerville. New Grounds Opened at San Jose. A Draw In Favor of the I. Zingaris. One of the finest games of cricket ever witnessed on the Pacific Coast took place yesterday at Klinkerville when the Bohe- mians and the Champions from Alameda met in their cup tie. The Champions were agreeably surprised when they saw the team the Bohemians were putting in the field,-but on the other hand were rather disappointed when they were all dismissed by Robertson and Cook- son for91. Ward in making his 17 was dis- tinetly lucky, but materially aided Hogue and Monartz, who made 16 and 13 respect- ively. The Bohemians were soon disposed of for 45 in their tirst inning—Martin with 14, Robertson and Bowhill with 10 each, saving the team from utter defeat. The Champions in their second venture were disposed of for the surprisingly small total of 58, Hogue and Ward being the only two to get into double figures. The Bohemians in their second innings had exactly 35 minutes to make the 1%4 runs required to win: this being impossi- ble, they only managed to get 47 for the loss of four wickets. The Champions then won the match by 46 runs on the first innings. This victory makes them the leaders for the Hunter Harrison trophy. Following are the scores: ALAMEDAS—FIRST INNINGS. E. Hood ¢.

Time did not permit the match to be finished, the locai club mak- ing 87 for the loss of seven wickets—Falcon with 25 and Spencer Mayo with 24 (not out) being the highest scorers.

Non-Union and Union Men Will Particlpate in the Celebration of Labor Day. | The proposed labor demonstration in favor of Eugene Debs, and against the re- cent Supreme Court decision, which de- clares for his imprisonment, together with several other officers of the American Railway Union, has not taken definite form as yet, and the opposition which has developed in several quarters during the past two days makes it extremely proba- ble that the proposition may be dropped. Those who oppose a demonstration are forced to take the stand as wishing to see Mr. Debs and his associates serve their time in prison. This does not mean that they approve of the decision, or that their devotion to the cause of labor has grown cold. The cause of labor is their watch- word. They assert that the imprisonment of Debs will do wonders in opening the eyes of the masses to the condition of labor, and arousing popular strength to the needs of the hour. On the other hand there are many who think that he has suffered enough already and that the laboring men of the country should now come to his aid with at least an expression of disapproval of the stern edicts of the powers that be. The executive committee of the Labor Council has the subject under considera- tion and the division'of opinion is said to be in this committee pretty nearly equal. “One thing may be set down as'a fact,” said Harry Knox last evening. “Every labor union and every laboring man and every friend of labor on this coast is crying out bitterly against this unjust and tyran- nical decision of the Supreme Court. In one way they are all in favor of a demon- stration, only some are of the opinion that it would not be to the best interests of labor.” Another topicof general interest in labor circles at the present time is the recent formation of what is known as the National Labor Army. Though less than a week old this organization has on its rolls a membership of over 3000 men. Its mem- bership is not restricted to those who are identified with unions. A union manora man of no union may be admitted to its deliberations by conforming to prescribed conditions, and all are admitted on an equal footing. 'he object of the organization is to pro- vide for labor parades, and incidentally to look after labor demonstrations of " all kinds. The organizers claim thatan im- perative necessity exists for such a body in order to show the strength of labor. “Workingmen will march together,” said Harry Knox, a member of the execu- tive committee, vesterday, “but_they will | not vote together. It is the only way we have of showing our strength. We expect to have 10,000 men in line on Labor day. “‘We have made this organization broad enough to inciude all classes of lahor union or non-union. Formerly only union men could parade, and even then it was difficult to get a union out with anythirg like full membership. Asa result we have always made a poor showing, or rathera | showing insignificant with what might have been done. Another defective point | in the old system was a lack of training and discipline. This we shall aim to remedy in the new organization by hold- ing fre(fl)ent drills, when the men will be thoroughly instructed in marching tactics. “This, by the way, is the secret of all the troubles of labor that exist to-day—lack of discipline. We cannot hanale our own forces. We have strikes because we have class legislation, and we have class legisla- tion because the workingmen will not pull together. We are split into so many par- ties, divided by so many creeds and lured into so many channels of personal interest or prejudice that concentrated effort is an utter impossibility. ““When we have discipline we shall have reform, and not until then. The laboring men of America can have anything they want; their power is supreme when they shall have learned the secret of exercising it. If we want honest legislation in the interest of the whole people, and not a class, we must elect honest men. “The question is how to get the disci- pline requisite to election that will bring about reform. It’s a big question, too. The riddle of the sphinx was not more serious, and, in this case, also, not to solve it is to die. “If labor has not the inherent power, however, to organize against the forces that have conspired to crush her and ef- fect a peaceable solution at the ballot-box, then look out for the adoption of other methods. The workineman of to-day is not the workingman of fifty years ago.

Time alone will tell.” WITH D0GS AND HARES, Continuation of the Inter-| state Coursing Meeting Yesterday. Skyball Takes the First Prize In an Exciting Race With Flying Buck.
