14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1895. ONE OF THE WEBER MURDERERS ARRESTED. Strong Chain of Circum- stantial Evidence Against Him. HIS NAMEIVAN KOVALEV Wearing the Murdered Man’s Trousers and Suspenders When Caught. MADE AN ALLEGED CONFESSION. One of the Murderers Burled In San Jose, and the Third Still at Large. The perpetrators of the brutal murder of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. L. Weber in their hom= in Sacramento on the night of December last are at last known and one of them Ivan Kovalev, alias John Dubroff, is now in the City Prison. The first clew that led to the arrest of Kovalev was given by E. L. Bennett of 937 Post street. He is a friend of Deputy | Zakrewskie, a carpenter, that he had mur- jat7 the sawdust in one of the toilet-rooms in the prison, which created the wildest excitement 1n police circles. Stevens also_told the captain of a con- fession that Kovalev, while sobering up from a big drunk, had made to Vladislaw dered a merchant in Sacramento. ‘Detec- tive Cody found the carpenter last Friday on Seventh and Minnesota streets, where he resides. Cody and Policeman Tobin on: the same night arrested Kovalevin a room 15 Howard street and took him to the City Prison. Arnold Levin, a jeweler and clockmaker, who was sleeping in the same room with Kovalev, was also arrested. The following day, Saturday, Captain Lees procured the assistance of three in- terpreters and -through them Zakrewskie made the following statement: About the latter part of February Dubroft made a statement to me about 12 o'cock, noon, with nobody present in the house but Rimself and me. He had taken a room at my house. I suspeeted that he was in some trouble, and so I got him drunk to find ont what it was. He was between drunk and sober, and he toid me that he had been watching & store with an- other man for three days at Sacramento. After piping the house for three days he and his pertner went around to the back vard at10 o'clock at nignt. One of them went into the yard and the other bid behind a door on & bal- cony. One of the men (Dubroff) found a_ hatchet and hid behind the door, und when the man who owned the store came upstairs with a candle in his hand—the man with & gray beard, as Dubroff deseribed him—then Dubroft took the hatchet, went toward the old man and struck him on the forehead, and as he did 50 the man yelled “I'm murdered ; I'm killed.” When Dubroff knocked him dewn he called up his partner. Then they both entered the house and then saw & woman in the middle of the room in the house, and they asked her for ZAKREWSKIE. LEVAN. EKOVALEV. Sheriff Martin Hughes and on June 17 he saw Hughes in the City Hall and told him that Stephens, a photographer at 715 Howard street, knew something about the Weber murders. Hughes advised Bennett to tell Captain Lees what Bennett at once did so. His story was tha Stey ew a boy who was acquainted with two men who murdered the Webers and Stevens had asked Bennett to supply him with money to go to Sacramento to see what he could do about obtaining the rewards offered for the arrest of the murderers. Bennett agreed to bring Stevens to Captain Lees but neglected to do so. The captain then sent Detective Cody for stevens, who gave him the address of the boy, whose name is George Pettion. The boy in effect told a story of being with Kovalev on the night of December 31. He had not seen him for three months be- fore. Kovalev drank heavily and showed an eagerness to learn from the papers all the news from Sacramento. They drank together all that night and in the morning they were arrested—Kovalev for being drunk, and the boy for grand larceny. They were put in separate cells, and next morning, January 2, they were both dis- charged. 7 Pettion said that Kovalev was wearing a gold chain and bangle attached when he first saw him that night, and he asked to have a look at the watch, but Kovalev re- fused. He noticed afterward that the chain had disappeared. and the supposi- tion is that Kovalev had hidden the watch and chain in his socks, because when searched at the prison they were not found in his pockets. 2 Captain Lees at once examined the records and founa that the boy’s story was true. The following entry shown on January 1. “John Durbroff, age 30, Rus- sian, shoemaker, drunk, arrested by Offi- cer McGee on Sacramento street. ary 2.”" ' Then follows the entry of the boy on the charge of grand larceny. It will be recollected that on the after- noon of January 2 Mrs. Weber's gold watch and chain were found hidden under Probably Genuine.

That Dubroff, who was at Eighth street with him, told him that he did the murder at Sacra- mento. Hesaid he did it at 10 o'clock at night.

After getting this statement the captain telephoned to District Attorney Ryan of Sacramento to come on at once, a§ he had very important information for him. Mr. acquainted with the facts. He left on Sunday with the understanding that he would return on Tuesday night with Mrs. Beasley, a married daughter of the mur- dered couple, and Luther Weber, their son. He was to bring with him also the three suits of old clothes discarded by the murderers for suits belonging to Mr. Weber and which were found in an ash- barrel in a shed.in the yard; also Mrs. Weber's gold watch and chain, found in the City Prison and given back to the family Kovalev was confronted with the car- penter and, with the help of an interpreter, | it was explained to Kovalev that the car-| penter charged him with making a_con- fession of having murdered Weber. Kova- lev’s only reply was a muttered “No, no.” The carpenter then directly charged Kovalev with having so confessed to him and again ‘he muttered ““No, no,”’ an added, “Me workingman; no kill any- body,” showing hisrough hands. Kovalev said he was'in Stockton about Christmas time picking_ cherries, but could not say for wgom. He was_told cherries didn’t ripen till May, and then he admitted being within three or four miles of Sacra- mento, but would not admit he had been inside the city limits, District Attorney Ryan, accompanied b; Mrs. Beasley, arrived at police head- quarters yesterday morning with the clothing and warch. The fact of a box mentioned in Kovaleb’s confession to the carpenter having been taken from the Wepers' house was news to the police here and in Sacramento. Mrs. Beasley was questioned about a box of the size men- tioned and she said it was her child’s bank, which contained about $25, and which had been stolen. Mrs. Beasley had been living with her parents till about two weeks before their murder, and at their solicitation left herchild’s bank with them. This is one of the strong links in the chain of evidence against Kovalev. Another strong link is that the trousers worn by Kovalev when arrested were iden- tified. The vest belonging to the suit was also brought from Sacramento, and the cloth was the same as the trousers. Stronger still was-the fact that the sus- penders worn by Kovalev were identified by Mrs. Beasley as a Salr she had linedl with crimson silk and presented to her father as a Christmas gift. But that is not all. The boy, Pettion, positively identified Mrs. Weber’'s chain and bangle attached as the one worn by Kovalev on the night of December 3I. Kovalev had worked in the shoeshop of A. Davis, 839} Third street, until a few days before Christmas, when he left, saying he was going into the country. Davis vester- day morning identified & pair of trousers found in the ash-barrel in the yard of the ‘Weber residence as the pair Kovalev wore when be left his shop. When Kovalev was asked where he got the trousers he was wearing when arrested, he said he got them from Zakrewskie, the carpenter, when they were in San Jose. The suspenders were staring him in the face, but he said nothing abou* them. Yesterday afternoon he was again asked through an interpreter in the presence of District Attorney Ryan to pick out from the clothes he” wore when arrested the articles he got from the carpenter in San and he picked out the trousers and suspenders, which, unfortunately, were plainly marked with paper for identifiza- tion. “When asked why he said nothing about the suspenders on the previous occasion he said he was never asked about them. The carpenter positively and em- phatically denied giving him the trousers suspenders and Captain Lees and Mr. n believe him, here were three men concerned in the Weber murders. From various circum- stances it is beyond doubt that the other two were Kharlampi Nikitin and Mathew Stcherbakov. These two were friends and companions of Kovalev, and it is known irom Arnold Levin and the carpenter that ihe three left the City together shortly before Christmas. Nikitin was the tallest of the three, being 5 feet 10 inches, broad- shouldered, but slim and angular in the body. He has nct been seen or heard of for months. Stcherbakov was stabbed to death by William Dondagan, a_grocer, in San Jose, on the night of March 30 last. Two nights previous to that date Kova- lev and the carpenter went to San Jose, where they met Nikitin and Stcherb: The first night they all slept in a lodging- house, and the next night, being “dead broke,” they all slept on the grass near the railroad track, except the carpenter, who pawned a portion of his tools and started off to walk back to the City. The next night, March 30, three men held up Don- dagan, the grocer, and he stabbed one of them, who was identified as Stcherbakov by a photograph taken of him while in the Morgue and by a_piece of paper stained with blood found in his pocket on which was written the carpenter’s address. He was buried in the clothes he was wearing, and Detective Gibson, who has been work- mg on the case, was sent to San Jose yes- terday to have the body exhumed, with the object of getting & sample of the cloth- ing to see if it is one of the suits belonging to Mr. Weber. The carpenter and Levin are being de- tained as witnesses. District Attorney Ryan left for Sacramento last night to are the necessary warrant for Kova- L-v s arreston the charge of murder and then he will be taken to the capital city to stand his trial. Kovalev is one of the ten Russians who made their escape from Siberia in a boat and were picked up by a whaling bark and is City in November, 1893. 9 years of age and was born in Chavkoff, Russia. Heis a shoemaker by trade and says he was exiled to Siberia because he was a friend of some students who were Nihilists. He has a magnificent bass voice and sang in the choir of the Greek church in his native city. EUARDSMEN ON BICYCLES Organization of a Cycling Corps in the First Regi- ment. Prime-Movers In a Modern Military Strategy—They Wear Fatigue Uniforms. The National Guard of California enjoys the distinction of being the only National Guard in the United States having a bicy- cle corps. To be sure, the corps has not been officially admitted into the service, but it will be admitted as soon as the pro- moters of the novel military scheme are ready to ask for official recognition. Meanwhile the corps has been thor- oughly organized and uniformed and is at- tached to the First Regiment. The present membership is thirty and will be increased as rapidly as prospective recruits supply thgmselves with the all- needful bicycle. The uniform is, of course, distinctively military. It consists of a cap, such as is worn by a regular army officer, and the regulation military sea-blue trousers, ab- breviated into knickerbockers or else hid- den away in leggins. A regulation fatigue blouse and a white sweater, on which is }-mnpd a five-pointed star, completed the etching dress of the corps. The officers are as follows: Captain, John F. Norton; first lieutenant, William Menzell; second lientenant, James Hicks. Captain A. E. Sutliffe of the First Regi- Uniform Worn by the First Regiment Bicycle Corps. [Drawn from a photograph.] ment is one of the chief promoters of the enterprise, and in discussing the organiza- tion yesterday he said : “The idea of forming a bicycle corps in the First Regiment origindted during our regimental encampment in Santa Cruz. “The experiment has been tried in the regular army, and there are bicycle corps attached to poth the English and French armies. “In the accomplishment of certain pur- poses in military strategy the bicycle can be made useful. We feel certain that the local corps will do good service when it is supplied with proper accouterments. *‘The arms in use now are almost too heavy and unwieldy for the corps, but we hope in time to he u\fip]ied with the Jor- gensen short arms, which can be quickly. handled.” oA o The corps is regularly drilled in ridingin columns, wheeling by fours and other infantry evolutions.

CALLS IT AN IMPOSTURE. The Spanish American Fake Exposed and Its Proprietor Convicted. REYNOLDS PLEADS GUILTY. Officer Wright Captures John Cul- len, Allas Starky—Decrease in the Traffic. 1f there is a meaner fraud in the world than a (ottery ticket, it is a counterfeit lot- tery ticket. And if there can be a more transcendently contemptible fraud than a counterfeit lottery ticket, it is that kind of a bogus lottery ticket which is so palpably a fake that the very smallest rascal in the world —one that counterfeits lottery tickets—would not stoop so low as to coun- terfeit. In this connection it may be stated, with a certainty beyond all dispute, that if you care to invest your money in either a “Spanish American,” a ‘‘State Govern- ment,” a “Montana,” or a “Kansas City” lottery ticket, you may do so in perfect security that the ticket you buy is nota counterfeit. It is a palpable fake—so pal- pable that no one will take the trouble to counterieitit. There areagood many coun- terfeit lottery tickets on the market. More than one half of all the Honduras and Little Louisiana and Mexican tickets sold in this City are counterfeits. But be easy in mind if you buy a Spanish Ameri- can for instance. It isn’t a counterfeit. You may be very, very certain of that, for you couldn’t find 8 man in the world that is a big enough fool to counterfeit such a ticket. Oh, it's genuine. It's real paper, real type and real ink—and a real rascal that pays for the printing of them. But right there the reality ends—except for the reality of the fools that buy them. There were 4000 such fools in San Fran- cisco already in this month. The “draw- ing” takes place July 3. Be sure you get all you win. The drawirg is advertised on the tickets, to be held in Havana, Cuba, and Louis Perez issaid to be the president. Presumably the tickets are sent here from Cuba. In reality they ate printed on Commer- cial street and are got up so cheaply that not even the lithograph or engraving process is employed in their making. The police are on the track of the printer who gets out these tickets, and some of these days there will be a big seizure of fake lottery tickets. The experienced lottery-ticket fiend needs no proof as to the character of the Spanish American fake, and if all the greenhorns in the world—the “farmers,” as Chimmie would call them—could only read the following communication from the Spanish Consul to the Chief of Police, Agent C. P. Reynolds’ promised reforma- tion would come about easily and surely enough: No.17. ‘CONSULADO DE ESPANA EN SAN, FRANCIECO, CALIFORNIA, BAN FRANCISCO, June 14, 1895. Sir : Persons having called on different oc- casions at this consulate inquiring about a the steps you might consider best to protect the public. I remain, sir, yours respectfully, JORG MADRILLEY, Consul of Spain. P. CROWLEY Esq., Chief of Police, San Fran- cisco. Yesterday C. P. Reyrolds, the local pro- prietor of this fake Spanish American Company, appeared in Judge Joachimsen’s police court and pleaded guilty to having sold lottery tickets. His fine will be im- posed to-day. Mr. Reynolds used to be an honest barber, and the chances are that he will soon return to that useful vocation, if not from choice alone, then from necessity. His market for fake tickets has been ruined by these disclosures and publications, and he has promised Officer Wright, who made the arrest, that he would close up his office | in the Flood building and go out of the | lottery business entirely. And if Mr. | Reynolds does not keep his word he will | probably be made to cease his operations | here. This can be done by repeated arrests and fines, and if Officer Wright continues in his present determination it probably | will be done. Reynolds has operated in | this City for quite a number of years now, and it is time that the Spanish American | fake died a natural death in order to avoid | a violent taking off. | Another man who has promised the police to 2o out of the business of selling, | in one hand a counterfeit and in the other | a genuine lotterv ticket—and none but a | skilled expert able to tell the difference—is | John Cullen, alias Starky. He is a pal of John R. Fritz—and a| worse thing couid be said of no man—and | a lieutenant of 'the villain Upson, the counterfeiter-in-general for this City and | | State. Mr. Cullen is now under bail on a charge of having lottery tickets in his | possession. To-day he will plead guilty and pay his fine. He was a bad one to | catch, but Wright got him last Saturday evening. During his investigations that day De- tective Wright found a man who had pur- | chased tickets from Cullen, alias Starky. | Wright asked to see the tickets. Of course, | they were produced only under such con- | ditions as would give the officer no techni- | cal ground upon which to arrest the pur- | chaser of the tickets. Indeed Wright was laying for bigger game at the time, so it | was not a very unsafe proceeding at best. When the officer saw the tickets he at once recognized them as some of the Upson | forgeries. Of course, the purchaser was ready enough to help catch the peddler | who had robbed him, and the end of it was that in a few hours John Cullen was try- ing to sell lottery tickets to no less a per- | son than Officer Wright himself. | “You have been pointed out to me as a | safe man, who wants to buy lottery tick- | ets,”” said Cullen, approaching the oficer. | And what he said was true enough. | Also Officer Wright told no untruth | when he replied: “Yes, I do want to buy | some lottery tickets from you. I'm safe | enough; never fear for that,” | Then Cullen pulled out the tickets. “You are my prisoner,” said Wright. | Indeed the thing was quite as dramatiy, ; in a small way, as any scene from a “‘penny | dreadful.” | ==The man Trost, who prints and circu- lates the E. Fox & Co.’s fake lottery tick- | ets, was caught the other day at the ex press company’s office by Officer Wright. Trost went to the express office to get his package of lottery tickets. Unfortunately | they turned out to be the return tickets for | a “drawing” (save the mark!) just| passed.
