CALMLY WATCHED THE FIRE. Detective Frost Claims to Have Strong Evidence Agalnst the Accused. —Ex-Super- ested last even- CaL., July ytson was & SAN JOf visor H. T ing on a charge of. arson, ‘rost. He is accused of house on the night of urpose of obtaining the in- go Tillotson was one nent men in political and was Supervisor t two or three hbors have not approved of n, who is a single | ch in the vicinity of | 1 he employed Blanche | rl, as his housekeeper, | ndignation arose among bors that Tillotson sold the ranch ased a house and lot near this | city. Tillotson and the young lady took | up their abode at the new place, and every- thing seemed to be going ricely with the couple until the time of the fire. When the fire was discovered Tillotson was found standing at the gate calmly watching the house burn. This excited spicion, and as most of the furnitare had been removed a few days before the fire, the Hartford Insurance Company em- ployed Detective Frost to investigate the cause of the fire. The insurance on the house was paid to J. M. Balback, who had a mortga or $1200 on the place, but the ce on the furniture was held back. e Frost claims to have discov- two weeks before the conflagra- tion llotson had gathered up the valu- ables in the house and placed them ina | box and had hidden the box under the house | of a neighbor. Itis also claimed that a | short time before a piano was removed | from the house. The detective claims that two weeks after the fire Blanche Miller | secured the box from its hiding-place and | brought it into town, where she delivered it to Tillotson. At the county jail the old man was searched and a bottle of strychnine found | in his pocket; but thisdid not satisty Frost, | who claimed that the old man had more poison sewed up in his clothes, and all his | wearing apparel was taken from bim and he was given an old suit of overalls. | Atter being locked up Tillotson talked | freely of the matter, and said: “‘People talked considerably because I kept a housekeeper on the ranch. Blanche | Miller came to me three years ago and I employed her as housekeeper, but the peo- ple in the neighborhood did not think it right that I should have a young house- | keeper, and would not associate with her. Loupe and Mary Higuera were the only | ones that visited her, and one night they | made so much noise I ordered the girls out | of the house, and this made Blanche mad | and she left too. To this circumstance I lay the fact that I was burned put. “‘The night of the fire I was unwell and had to arise many times, and so did not | take off my clothes, but lay down on a| bed-lounge. I was awakened by sparks falling over me, and I had barely time to escape. I rushed back to get some of the things and was overcome with smoke. I was almost suffocited, and was leaning against the gate when the neighbors ar- rived. “After Blanche went away I allowed her to come and get the sewing-machine, The piano I wished to sell, and had taken it to Mrs. Parkhurst, who had agreed to buy it. AS to a box being under a neighbor’s | house, why, I know nothing about it. TIf there was such a box it probably belonged anche, and contained a few of her of the circles in tt for two years, rs his nd “Iam perfectly innocent of the charge placed against me, and I think when the matter is fully investigated the evidence will bear me out in what I say.” Sheriff Lyndon and Detective Frost last night discovered that the night before the fire a wagon load of furniture had been removed from the Tillotson house.

The prices for new apricots are not yet settled, and offers in the East are not any higher than those made in California, and about 10 cents per pound for choice fruit is being offered.
