Attorney Reed had previously obtained an order from Judge Joachimsen for the release of Dr. Dille on his own recognizance, and the three others had presented their bonds of $300 each to the Judge and received orders of discharge. About a dozen prominent citizens had gathered in the Mayor’s office each eager to go on their bonds. Their bondsmen were as follows: W. H, Little and M. C. Hawks for Mr. Truman; DR. MARC LEVINGSTON.

Miss Harrington’s Body Lald Away With No Clew to the Murderer or His Motive. There were two bappenings yesterday which were related to the strange and awful Harrington tragedy, and they were the reverse of ‘‘developments.” Ex-Senator Leonard W. Buck, one of the highly respected, well-known and influen- tial citizens of the State, whose indirect and mysterious connection with the re- markable story of crime has been told from hour to hour and from day to day ina manner that has enlarged the mystery, died at 5 0’clock yesterday morning in Oak- land asunconscious as he had lain since Saturday evening. He spoke not a word before death. Four hours later the mangled and burned remains of Miss Ellen Harrington were taken from the undertaking parlors where they rested and placed in the vault at Holy Cross Cemetery, where they will await arrangements for the funeral. The circumstances of the case do not make it likely that the body will be disturbed in its casket until it is finally laid away in a Sac- ramento cemetery. The story of the crime, which must be a strange and thrilling one, is as deep a secret as ever. Nothing developed yester- day which gave a promise that it would ever be told. As far as is discovered, nothing was brought to light which gave a clew to the murderer or which even suggested a motive for the des- perate butchery. As a mystery the case has few parallels. "If Captain Lees and the de- tectives working on the case had any infor- mation which warranted a suspicion of any one, or which afforded a possible theory which suggested an adequate motive, they kept it closely to themselves. Nothing of the sort developed elsewhere. Two incidental facts were clearly estab- lished by investigation yesterday. Both made cruel and unjust suspicions relating to the dead woman’s character. It is plain that she died as she had lived—a woman with a clean heart and a clean life. Since the hour of the discovery of the crime it has been stated and believed, even by the police, that Miss Harrington was artially undressed when she was killed. t has been assumed that her assailant, whether he surprised her or not, was in her apartments while she was making her toilet. The fragments of burned clothing which were taken to the Morgue with the body were examiued yesterday for the first time, and by a CaLL reporter. They gave posi- tive proof that when Miss Harrington was killed and her clothing fired in an effort to destroy traces and evidence of the crime she was fully dressed and as she had been during the entire forenoon. Mrs. Kellogg, who saw her one hour before her ~death, describes her as dressed in a light-blue sateen house wrap- per. Nearly all her clothing that lay about the upper part of her body was burned in the flames, but the portions of all her garments upon which her body lay were naturally preserved from the fire. Of the sateen wrapper described before by Mrs. Kellogg the back of the waist and a strip of the back Eart of the skirt for nearly its entire length is preserved, show- ing conclusively thatshe had it on when she fell where her burned body was found. Exactly similar evidence concerning all the rest of her clothing is preserved and it is conclusive. The testimony of Dr. Barrett, who per- formed a careful autopsy, also contradicts the theory of the police, which has been repeated a good deal, that the murderer used two weapons, one a heavy, blunt in- strument, with which the lacerated wounds and fractures were made, and another a heavy, sharp cutting instrument. Dr. Barrett says that there were no wounds which were cuts at all. The murderer struck this victim eight powerful blows with some blunt and heav. weapon. S8ix of them reached her skull and two her lower jaw. Miss Harrington was not only a woman of exceptional size, vigor and health, for one of her age, but Dr. Barrett testifies that her skull was ab- normally thick. Blows with a heavy weapon would be needed to fracture and crush an ordinary skull in_the manner shown by the autop- sy, and the wounds give evidence that the murderous attack was desperate as well as deadly. Itis notstrange that there wasno | outery heard, for any one of the six blows dealt” would have knocked any human being senseless. The hardest blow, whether the first or the second one, struck the victim on the side of the head about an inch and a half above the right ear, Yroducing an irregular fracture of the skull bone three inches in diameter. This blow was delivered up- ward in relation to the head, as is shown by the particles of bone that were driven in that direction. Another blow landed a little behind the right ear and produced a frac- ture, and another one struck just in front of the right ear. On the left side of the head were a lacerated wound and a frac- ture that extended around the base of the skull and there met the fractures from the other side. There were two lacerated wounds over the right eye, but no frac- tures. The lower jaw was fractured near its point. “‘The wounds were apparently all made with the same instrument,” said Dr. Bar- rett yesterday, ‘“‘and were distinctively lacerated wounds. There was more orless contusion or bruising of the scalp about all of the wounds. No knife could %ave pro- duced a fracture. The weapon must have been a blunt and heavy one and the blows delivered with great force. I have never saen such fractures of a skull except as the result of a streetcar accident.” Things are very quiet up in the two- story-and-basement flat at 1018 Eilis street now. No crowds gather outside, though people stop frequently to look with awe and wonder at the first-class but common- place bunch of flats with distingunished stairs up to the two front doors. The upper flat, which was lately and for five years the dead woman's,is in posses- sion of the legatee, Mrs. Josephine Jack- son, and her brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Rae of Sacramento. They have many friends who call and they are not especially thick with the other tenants. A statement yesterday by Mrs. Crouse, who saw the tramp, disposes of the tramp theory, if her confident fixing of the time when the nomad called at her basement door and then went up the front steps is correct. She says that the tramp called at fully 1 o’clock, and also that he did not look particularly vicious. She is the woman, too, who has seen the man and the buggy most, aud she says that it is two or three weeks since she saw Mr. Buck drive up. The arrangements for taking Miss Har- rington’s remains to the vault in Holy Cross Cemeter%hnm Porter’s undertaking establishment had been kept secret and no crowd was on hand. There was no cere- mony. The casket was placed in a hearse and eight friends followed in two carriages. Those who made the journey were: Mrs. Josephine Jackson and Mrs. D. W. Rae, sisters of the deceased; D. W. Rae, Mrs. oberts, niece of L. W. Buck: Mr. and Mrs, Dwyer, old acquaintancesin Chic;f s daugn- Mrs. E. Shotwell and A. F. Knorp, Harrington’s late landlord and his ter. The funeral has not been arranged, but will take place in Sacramento at some future time. There is a brother of Miss lerinfiton abroad in the world somewhere and he probably does not know of his sister’s death. He is Daniel Harrington, the old- est child of Timothy Harrington, who brought his family from Prince Edward Island so many years ago. He is a ship carpenter and two years ago came here from Chicago. He worked here five months, and, not liking California, went East somewhere and has not been heard of by his family since. CuFtaiu Jack Harrington was another brother. He died some years ago. He was a drillmaster at Camp Douglas once and served his country elsewhere during the war. In Miss Harrington’s parlor there hung six large portraits. One was of Captain Jack, another was of herself, and the remairing four were honored prelates of the Catholic church, among whom was Archbishop Riordan, e gRRERE MR. BUCK DEAD. The Ex-State Senator Passes Away Without Regaining Con- sciousness. The death of L. W. Buck, which occurred at dawn yesterday morning, in Oaklana, was made especially sad to his family and his hosts of friends by the unfortunate con- | nection of his name with the Harrington tragedy. Almost as for his life his family prayed for at least a brief spell of con- sciousness and ease that would enable him to tell the story that they wanted him to tell more strongly than did the San Fran- cisco police. But the end came at 5:15 A. ., without the unfortunate victim of Saturday’s acci- dent having spoken a word or having given a faint sign of recognition to his heart- broken family. I The Coroner held a brief inquest and the jury gave the following verdict: “The de- have taken the box to the restaurant wish him. He might have crossed with the 1 o’clock boat or the one later. He was not | sure which. The statement of Moore, the hackman, to | Detective Seymour on Monday was that he saw Mr. Buck waiting for ‘the train at Seventh and Adeline streets at 1:45 P. M. The family state that he did not leave the house till 2:30 p. M., so_that there are con- tradictions as to the time he crossed over to the City after reaching home from Sac- ramento. The police are anxious to find out what Mr. Buck’s movements were on Saturday prior to his fatal accident, but for what purpose they decline to state. Raleigh Barcar, the proprietor of the Vacaville Reporter, who was the gentle- man that accompanied Senator Buck to Oakland last Saturday morning, was inter- viewed at Vacaville yesterday. Mr. Barcar said that he came across Mr. Buck shortly after entering the train at Elmira and im- mediately commenced a conversation with him on the various topics of the day. Mr. Buck seemed in the best of spirits and apparently in good health, and at no time was anything said that led Mr. Bar- car for a moment to think his mind was burdened with anything unusual. Mr. Buck left the train at Sixteenth street, Oakland, and nothinngurzher was thought of the matter by Mr. Barcar until after the n‘efi\'s of the sad accident reached Vaca- ville. EXIT THE DOUGLAS. The Noble Couple in Hiding From Man- ager and Mother Near San Jose. Lord and Lady Sholto Douglas are in hiding from an angry manager and mother. Last Monday his lordship wasto all ap- THE LATE EX-SENATOR W. L. BUCK. ceased, Leonard William Buck, a native of New York, aged 61 years, came to his death by cerebral hemorrhage, resulting from a fall from a cart at the corner of Twelfth and Castro streets, and we find that the fall was accidental. He died at 929 Adeline street.” The funeral will be held to-morrow at 1 o’clock p. u,, from his late residence, at 929 Adeline street, Rev. Dr. Akerly officiating. The burial will take place under the aus- ices of Naval Commande: No. 19, nights Templar of Vallejo, of which the deceased was a member. Interment will be at Mountain View Cemetery. Senator L. W. Buck was born in Truxton, Courtland county, N.Y.,on July 8, 1834, and was educated at Honer, N. Y., at the Courtland Academy. He was married September 10, 1856, to Miss Anna M., daughter of Dr. and Mrs. M. B. Bellows of Seneca Falls, N. Y. He was commis- sioned lieutenant in Company H., 175th New York Volunteer Infantry, in August, 1862, but resigned in Feb- ruary, 186 owing to ill health. He came West to Clinton, Iowa, in 1865, where he went into the hardware business. The crisis of 1873 caught him and he lost all he had of this world’s goods. He came to California in 1874, settling at Vacaville in March of that year. On the first of October ne moved to what has ever since been known as the Buck ranch. He leaves a widow and five children to mourn his loss. Frank H. is married and lives on a fruit ranch near the old home- stead at Vacaville. He has two young sons. Fred married Dr. Akerly’s daugh- ter and resides on the old homestead at Vacayville. He has one son. One daugh- ter, Nellie, married John B. Cory of Lodi, the son of Dr. Cory of San Jose. They re- side on a fruit ranch. The other two daughters, Miss Emma and Miss Anna, reside at home with their parents. When Mr. Buck came to California he went into ranching near Vacaville, and owing to his ability as a manager made his property pay. He secured from time to time other property, until at the time of his death ge owned a number of very valuable pieces of property. It is esti- mated he was worth $300,000. He came to Oakland eight years ago to educate his youngest daughter, and bought the home where he died, 929 Adeline street, and has since resided there. Captain Lees was asked vesterday if, in view of ex-Senator Buck’s death, he'was repared to make any statement as to what Ee wanted to see him about last Saturday, and he replied: -‘No, I have no statement make. I will say that Mr. Buck’s death has greatly embarrassed me and will hamper me considerably in following out m¥ investigations."” s ;! he captain, accompanied by Detectives Seymour and Handley, spent two or three hours yesterday morning in making a careful “search of the small room used by Miss Harrington as a kitchen and her storeroom for any weapon that might have been used by the murderer. Every nook and corner was searched, but nothing was found with the exception of an old hammerin a drawer. There wasnothingon the hammer toshow that it had been used by the murderer. Besides the kitchen is in the hallway behind the door leading to the rear apartments occupied by Mrs. Kellogg and which she found locked on the inside when she discovered the fire on Saturday afternoon. “If the hammer had been used,” said the captain, “there would have been stains of blood upon it, and other evidences of its use by the murderer. It is my opinion that tge weapon used by the murderer was carried away with him.” Detective Seymour visited Oakland yes- terday and cnl{ed upon C. 8. Chamberlain, 472 Tenth street, the semlemnn ‘whom Mr. Buck’s son Frank said crossed over to San Francisco with his father on Saturday afternoon. 5 Chamberlain could not definitely fix the time. He said he reached his store aboat 12 o’clock Saturday. He wrote two short letters and then went to a restaurant two or three doors from his store, where he had lunch. Then he went back to the store fora atent fruit box he was to take over with Eim to the Union Box Factory at North Beach. Then he o&ufhc the broad gauge train at Seventh and Broadway and joined Mr. Buck, who was on the train. with him till they reached the City. Mr. Bullock, Mr. Chamberlain’s partner, said he got to the store about five minutes to1 o'clock, and Chamberlain did not re- turn for the box while he was there. This made Chamberlain think that he might e was pearance taken suddenly ill with nervous prostration, and hurried away to Los Gatos, where nerves are made wholeand | life prolonged to an interminable age. Her ladyship went through the morning rehearsal and then disappeared like a liv- ing figure behind the stage curtain. his rapid exit not on the bills was planned by Douglas “tender and true” to get himself and wife out of sight of her mother, who desires to keep the new Brit- ish noblewoman on the stage, and the manager of the Auditorium Theater, who holds a contract over his star actress. Mrs. Douglas, as she is known in anti-monar- chical circles, yesterday received a sum of | money from her. husband’s Eastern | friends, and, like a dutiful wife, carried the coin to her good man, who is not at Los Gatos, but in some quiet retreat near San Jose. The aforesaid contract which Manager Moore suspends over the hidden couple was signed by Mrs. Mooney two weeks ago several days after her daughter’s birthday, consequenily it is held that sheis not legally bound by its conditions. The marriaze” in the church of which so much has been said is only part of the free theatrical advertising which Lady Douglas has received. It will never take place as the young people are legally wedded and are satisfied with that. They intend to sail on the next steamer for Australia, where Lord Douglas will embark in horse racing, far away from mother-in-law, manager and American reporters. \ THLE LOIE AFAR Irving Blinn, the Millionaire’s Son, Marries Miss Nannery, a Pretty Actress. The Nuptuals Are Solemnized by the Rev. Father Gannon atthe Home of the Bride Last Night. Irving Blinn, the son of L. W. Blinn, a millionaire lumber-dealer of Los Angeles, and Miss Genevieve Nannery, the actress, were married at the home of the bride’s parents, William Nannery, 433 Second street, last night. The Rev. Father Gan- non officiated. It was a very prettily arranged ceremony. The ushers preceded the bridal party, carrying ribbons in their hands, and as they approached the front room several yards of ribbon were paid out on either side, forming a silken aisle for the bride and groom and their attende ants. The bride and groom were attended by Misses Ada Ramsdell and Josie Sea- brook and Messrs. Hal Denson and Dr. Henry Smith. The bride was elegantly attired in a white satin,duchesse, long train,orange blossoms, and the bridesmaids—Miss Seabrook an Miss Ramsdell—were prettily arrayed in pinll{ striped satin and cream silk respec- tively. It i'm a ver{‘im‘;\ressive ceremony. The rooms were handsomely decorated and tich and elegant costumes were worn by the ladies present. Mr. and Mrs. Blinn were kept from being present by the illness of the former, but telegrams congratulatory and strongly expressed showed the young groom’s parents were with him heart an soul and approved his choice of an actress bride. The presents were numerous and costly and the wedding supper was a triumph in the caterer’s art. After the ceremony, and the congratula- tions, the music and the feasting, which followed, the bride and groom were driven to the Palace, where they will remain until this afternoon. At 50’clock to-day Mr. and Mrs. Blinn will take their departure for Los Angeles. On Thursday evening of this week a reception will be held in their honor at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Blinn on Grand avenue, in that city. Mr. Blinn, the groom, is one of the most popular young men of Los Angeles; rich, accomplished and very pieasant of man- ner. fiis ‘wife, as Miss Genevieve Nannery, has been known as a rising young actress, possessed of beauty, talent and the sweet- est of dispositions. Miss Nannery’s last engagement was with the W. R. Dailey Company. SEARCHING FOR A CLEW. The Mystery of the Murder of James Howard Still Unsolved. TWO0 YOUNG MEN ARRESTED. They Give Satisfactory Explanations of Their Movements and Will Be Discharged. ‘Who struck the blow that killed James Howard, the harness-washer for Wells, Fargo & Co.,at an early hour Monday morning is as great a mystery as ever. Detectives Coffey and Cody and Police- | men Perrin anud McPherson were working | on the case yesterday, but they failed to find a clew to the murderer. 1t was deemed advisable to hunt up the two young men who were in the saloon oi P. J. Horan, 741 Howard street, when Howard went into the saloon, between 2! and 3 o’clock that morning. They proved | to be William Graham, a teamster, living at1023 Bryant street, and John J. Lyons, a teamster on Stone’s ranch, Elmhurst, Alameda County. Graham heard he was wanted and sur- rendered himself to Coffey, Perrin and McPherson. Detective Cody went to| Stone’s ranch and found Lyons stacking hay. He took him to police headquarters, ‘where Graham had also been taken. | Graham said he went into the Bee Hive | saloon, Third and Howard streets, about 11:30 o'clock Saturday night, where he | danced a jig. Lyons, whom he had not met before, was there and asked him to | dance again. They had some drinks and | left the saloon about 1 o’clock Monday | morning. Lyons took Graham to the sa- | loon of Richard Ash, his cousin, at 755 | Howard street, but it was closed. | They found Horan’s saloon open and | went in and had some more drinks. While there, 8 man, whom they identified last | night as Howard, came in with Horan. He was under tie influence of liquor and | asked, “What do you think of a man of my size getting lost?”’ Howard invited them to have a drink with him and then they | threw dice for another drink. Lyons lost, and while they were throwing the dice | again a dispute arose about Howard’s throw and he left the saloon and turned toward Fourth street. They remained in the saloon for two or minutes longer and left. When they reached Morosco’s old theater they met the night clerk of the San Francisco | Jodging-house and Graham, who occasion- ally slept there, gave him 25 cents and asked him to open room 62 for him as he was going to a restaurant to have some- thing to eat. He and Lyons went to the restaurant, where they remained for some time, and Lyons left to catch the first boat for Alameda. Graham’s statement was corroborated by | Lyons and afterward by the night clerk of the lodging-house and "the people in the | restaurant. Horan, in his statement pub- | lished yesterday, said they saw_the two | young men talking with Howard at Mo- T05cO’S 0ld theater. In this he was mis- taken, as it was the night clerk. I Graham and Lyons say they left Horan’s | saloon between 2 o’clock and a quarter past 2. If this is correct it would Tee with the statement of the proprietor of the 0Old Friends’ saloon, on Third street, near Folsom, that Howard, accompanied by a woman about 45 years of age, had a drink in his saloon about 2:30 o’clock. It wounld also coincide with Jerry Galvin’s state- ment that Howard and the woman were in his saloon about 3 o’clock and remained five or ten minutes. Less than an hour | afterward Howard staggered into the | Southern staticn, wounded and bleeding. The police have been bending alil their energies to find the woman who was last seen with Howard, but without success. She told Galvin she was a widow with three children, and one of them was a grown-up daughter. She may explain away the myste)i;‘r. Graham and Lyons were locked up in the City Prison for the night, but will be discharged this morning when an order can be obtained from Chief Crowley. To Economize Time. A statistician has computed that the average business man spends 3714 eight- hour days at luncheon, 223; at breakfast and 4514 at dinner every year. That is, he spends.one-third of his entire time at the table. It is suggested that this time might be economized by hiring some one to read to him while he ‘is eating. The business man who spends his meal time thinking and Xlanning _over his business probably would find this a profitable experiment, not so much because of the improvement to the mind, but because of the distraction and consequent rest that it would give. The best way to occuipy one’s mind during meals, however, is in é\leasam, light con- versation; nor should anybody consideg time so spent wasted. But speaking of hired readers, a better plan can be followed through the perfection of the phonograph. This instrument will have reached its real stage of general usefulness when a person can set it going during his meals or at any other time when his eyes are occupied and his mind at_liberty, and have the latest novel, the daily newspaper or the current magazine read to him from it.—Buffalo Express.
