She Declares That Reilly Induced Her to Swear to a Lie. SIGNED A FALSE CONFESSION. The Girl's Version of the Affair Given in a Communication to “The Call.” SONORA, Car., Dec. four weeks ago, spent a_quiet day separate cells in the County Jai solit visi Detective 4.—Albert and Wesley McReynolds, the supposed mur- | derers of George Morris at Chinese Camp, in their Their | precocious little sister, Ada, is likewise in v confinement, and excepting the her believe there was a $5000 insurance policy on the life of George Morris made out in her name, and that she would get the money providing it was proved that he had not committed suicide, took the bait and has almost signed away the lives of her brothers. Now she says she lied most flagrantly when she signed that statement, and the most important bit of evidence | against the accused has vanished. But the general public—the men “'.h“ { have started an ominous growl which might turn intoa how! by a mob—does not know that end of the story, because it has not been able to listen to the tale ofi the accused. From the very beginning it has been the story of the urn>cclxtit_)n w_hicp has been given, while the three jailed indi- viduals have as yet not been able to get an attorney to care for their interests.

She had prepared a tightly crumpled note she hoped to get to hiin asking to be heard, wwhen the correspondent finally gained his point and was ushered into her dark and dingy cell. i pasn Ada McReynolds is a very small girl, 17 years old, pretty beyond the average, with bi k brown eyes, set wide apart.

I was go- nowledged that there | would announce a piece of good news. I “This is tough, though, staying in here and eating this grub. There’s plenty of it, but the quality—that’s horrible.’” He laughed, rolled another cigaretteand continued chatting. “I'm all right. Mrs. Ward, for whom I work, heard me coughing in my room on the night of the murder. I don’t remem- ber coughing, but I coug?le)d just the same, and she beard me, so there you are. I could not be at the murder and be cough- ing in my room at the same time, could I?” This convincing alibi set all the speaker’s doubts at rest, and he continued his narra- tive of his doings of that fatal night. I was in Chinese Camp for a little while—say up to 8 o’clock, but I then went home. I had come in to buy some to- bacco, and having talked awhile with the boys around the store, I went home to bed. All the Ward family, including the chil- dren, saw me asleep before midnight, and heard me cough.” That is Wesley McReynolds’ hope for salvation—a cough. But while all these statements are being made by the men who are accused of mur- dering George Morris, the counter- statements and circumstantial evidence point strongly to their guilt. The girl, Ada, wrote her accusation against her brothers, as she declares in the document, ‘‘of my own free will,”” and she signed it before four witnesses, to whom she re- lated many details. She aiso told of the threats against Morris’ life made by Albert McReynolds. The girl’s subsequent declar- ation that she wasa falsifier, it is thought, will be counteracted by corroborative evi-- dence bolstering up her first story in re- gard to the killing. Detective Reilly, who has worked hard on the case, traveling over Calaveras and Tuolumne counties %or weeks seeking evi- dence, and who brought the McReynolds to jail, is as confident as any man can be that he has the guilty parties under lock and key. He is adverse to telling what he knows just now, before he has placed it all before the Grand Jury, but from other sources it is learned that he hus woven MORRIS BROS.

Unfortunate George Morris, the genial lad who joked with the John Curtin, Head of the Detective Agency ‘Which Ran Down the Slayers of George Morris. [Reproduced from a plotograph.} old miners as he handed them their letters from far-away homes, who sold them thei picks and tobacco, is dead. He was shot down by some murderous individual, bent on robbery or revenge, and that was all they stopped to think of at the time of the occurrence. Then, a more than foolish little girl of 17, but whose experience in wicked ways was far advanced—the sister of ihe McReynolds boys—stepped out boldly and accused her brothers of having murdered Morris to avenge a fancied wrong he had perpetrated upon her. . That settled it with the miners. They knew the waywardness of the girl, for she had often been seen around the mining | camps when children of her age were usually at home. They also knew that the killing had been done at the time when $1700 had been turned over to Morris, as Wells, Fargo & Co.’s agent, from the Mam- moth mine at Jacksonville, three miles from Chinese Camp. So they immediately jumped at the conclusion that the McRey- nolds boys planned the robbery, holding in reserve, if they were caught, that they had killed Morris to avenge their sister's honor. The grand jurors of Tuolumne County, who have been placed in charge-of most of the evidence against the McReynolds, are not as sanguine as the others are as to the possibility of a conviction. To-morrow there may be a change, but it is not proba- ble. District Attorney F. P. Otis, who is presenting the case to the jurors, feels that he is heavily handicapped by reason of the change that has come over Ada McRey- nolds, the sister of the accused men. The girl, tempted by Reilly, who made | darkening t there seems | »thing tangible except the sister's | by any possible chance get home and that of George Morris | be too good for them,” as saying goes, and no one can surmise ies to which they would be sub- s at Montezuma and Jimtown | some annoyauce to | some one, because they are saying such terrible things ebout me.” The girl acted in an off-hand manner, and it was evident that she had not the slightest conception that the charges to which she pieaded guilty could stand as a existence. She is not the heartless wretch the anuthorities have all along termed her, ! | for the reason that she cannot grasp the | enormity of her offense. | ~Ada wanted it well understood that she told a false story when she said her broth- ers told thay had shot and killed George Morri “You w Reilly, don’t you?’ she asked. *“Well, he came to me and said that he 2 detective for some insurance company.

Brown was there and he is my friend. He told me to sign and I did.” That is the young girl’s story of the so- called *‘confession.” "She touen closed her interview by signing tne following declara- tio; To the Editor of the San Francisco Call: 1 | have been anxious to refute the statement the detectives made me sign that my brothers killed George Morris.

All these details are absolutely unknown to the two brothers who are in jail.

Heis the younger of tiie two and the man who is said to have fired the | fatal shot. He is a curly headed blond, not more than 25 years of age, and ratber prepossessing. The other brother, Albert, | 1s the elder by a coupl years, although | he looks to be fully e is thin, be- whiskered and sickly.

My mother came into my room to get a bottle of liniment and she saw me there.” f This unfortunate believes fully that his statement that he did not leave his home the night Morris was murdered, and that his mother will testify she saw him in_bed at her house about the time of the crime, will exonerate him from all guilt. But it is the suspicion under which he rests that he seems to suffer from most. He claims to have never had an angry word with any of the Morris boys, although the detectives say he frequently threatened to kill George Morris. This charge is made more espe- cially after a renconter he and George had one night when the latter was walking in the brush with Ada. ‘Wesley McReynolds is the sole occupant of a cell equally as gloomy as that of his brother, but it does not seem to affect him to any great extent. “I "’know they will have to let us out because they can’t prove anything on us,” he said in as pleasant a voice as a man | will be able to convict Ler brothers. | declare lotch against her in_her future | | toward W | that the man who shot | must have fired the load of buc orits that, even against the denial of Ada )}c}’.v_\'nolds, lil‘ He has tound a number of witnesses who that subsequent to the Kkilling Wesley McReynolds stratted about Chinese np and openly boasted of the crime, saying he would also kill the remaining brothers. Then there is a hostler, Charles Smith by name, the first man who arrived on the | scene after the two shots that killed Morris were fired. Smith declares he saw two men run away in the direction of the Mc- Reynolds ranch, and he is positive that Wesley McReynolds was one of them. These are only a few of the circum- | stances that point to the guilt of the ar- restea parties, and there is much more. One of the most singular clews pointing sley McRevnolds is the fact George Morris shot from his left shoulder. This is mads apparent | from the peculiar serpentine twist of the store counter. In_the position where George Morris was found after the shoot- ing, he must have been close up to the in- ward curve of the counter, and no man on the outside could have aimed a gun from the right shoulder without bringing in line Deputy Sheriff R.

A manaiming from the left shoulder, however, could take a good bead upon his man, The way this bit of information is valuable is that Wesley McReynolds must necessarily fire a gun from his left shoul- der, as his right eye is of glass, having been put out years ago when hLe was a small boy. Whoever the murderers were they may thank their stars, first that they are not in the hands of the friends of popular George Morris. Again they may recon- cile themselves tha they failsd to secure the sack of silver which Morris had just received. In it were many hundred bright, shining half-dollar pieces of 1893, but which had evidently never been in current use. These half dollars are said to be the only bright and clean ones seen in Tu- olumne County in many years. Had the murderers secured them it would not have required many days before their passing such attractive coins would have been noticed, To-morrow morning the Grand Jury will hear more testimony in the Morris-Mc- Reynolds affair.

ONE GARROTED AT SAN MATEO. Russell Rand, a Dairy Foreman, Seized by Pablo Gonzales and Relieved of His Money. REDWOOUD CITY, CAL, Dec. 4.—Seven people were robhed near Searsville last night and one man was garroted at San Mateo. The robbery occurred at the old Billy Stanton place, about five miles back of Menlo Park, on the Searsville county road. The Mayfield and Searsville roads form a junction near by, and thereis a cheap roadside house arranged with bar and bunks for workingmen and a few others who go over the road. Last night at sbout 10 o'clock, after everybody had retired, a knock was heard at the door. It was answered by Jim Lacey, one of the occupants, who did not wait to dress, but came to the door and extended a welcome to the supposed weary stranger without. There is where Lacey made a mistake. He was suddenly pulled outside and a gun poked at his face, and he was politely requested to keep auiet and come alon The strangers were a tall man and short man. They had re- volvers and knives, and wore masks made out of handkerchiefs with holes cut for the eyes. A third man, their confederate, watched the road, he having a rifle. Lacey was taken to a tree in the yard and tied to it with ropes. He was suffer- ing from the cold night air and was given a board to stand on. He thought they might kill him, and cried out for a man who was sleeping in the stable near by te come and help him. His cries were heara and the man in the stable came out with a revolver in his hand, but was immediately covered by the outlaws. His weapon was taken and he was also tied so that he could not move. The robbers then went inside the house. ive men were sleeping in the bunks. With guns and pistols confronting them they had to submit to being bound hand and foot. All seven men were then robbed of what money could be found, when the robbers departed, after cautioning them to be quiet and give no alarm. The six other men held up were F.R. Crovello, A. L. Strong, Antone Crovello, Gus Olsen, John quez and Antone Silva. No arrests were made, as the county officers were working on another matter—the garroting case at San Mateo. It appears that one Pablo Gonzales, alias Martinez, had been stopping for several weeks with a family at San Jose named Lopez. Yesterday Gonzales went to work at the San Mateo dairy. During the early part of last evening the foreman af the dairy, Russell Rand, was passing through the yard when Gonzales sprang out from a secluded spot and grabbed him by the throat. Gonzales quickly relieved his vic- tim of some §15 in cash and made his way to the railroad depot, where he caught the 7:30 train going south. Gonzales came to Redwood City, secured a buggy at Cronk’s stable and drove in the direction of Menlo Park, where he said he wished to stop. As soon as the garroting of Rand became known officers started in pursuit and traced Gonzales to Trinidad Espinosa’s place at Dobe Creek, beyond Mayfield, and the search is still being continued. Constable W. O. Booth of San Mateo re- ports about seventy-five tramps coming south over the road. They are said to be WSSED AT PORTLAR Mourned by a Number of Creditors. Finding an Innocent Purchaser for Stock in His Kitchen Manager Cotta Leaves. PORTLAND, Or., Dec. 4. — Frank J. Cotta, late manager of the New York Kitchen, with a small “co” attachment, is missed by a small army of confiding creditors. Several months ago Cotta left the employ of the Imperial Hotel under such circumstances as would not induce the proprietor of that hotei to again place his dining department in Mr. Cotta's charge. ® Mr. Cotta next organized the New York Kitchen “Co.,” and having creditors that might unpleasantly stepin at any moment from similar ‘experiences in Seattle, the concern was incorporated, with Mrs. Emelie B. Cotta holding 98 shares of stock, F. J. Cotta holding one share as di- rector and manager. and an attorney-at- law, proprietor of the remaining share of stock, as secretary of the New York Kitch- en Company. A few days ago James Park, an innocent- looking gentleman, opportunely came along, not with a vast stock of knowledge about the restaurant business probably, with money, and money would buy shares of stock in the New York Kitchen Com- pany. Although it was claimed that the itchen was doing a large and prosperous business, still the incorporators were will- ing to part with fifty shares of the stock, and Mr. Park became the Eossessor of the filty shares, which were eautifully engraved paper, valued at $500. Of course " Mrs. Cotta still retained forty- eight shares, the attorney and secretary one share and Mr. Cotta, director and manager, one share. But there are credi- tors here to the tune of several thousand dollars anxious as to Cotta’s whereabouts. —— Determined to Die. PORTLAND, Or., Dec. 4.—Alex Tod- man, an old scow dweller, was prevented from poisoning himself on Sunday. Itwas his second attempt, and he abused the doctor for trying to save him. He disap- peared on Monday and has not been seen since. He left a note, which was found to-day, reading, “I'll beat the game this time; you need not look for me.” It is thought he jumped in the river, e Three Kunaways Captured. PORTLAND, Or., Dec. 4.—On the pilot of the engine pulling the Northern Pacific train into the Union depot last night were discovered three very young runaway lads from Seattle. They were very indignant when the police took them in charge, de- priving them of an opportunity to see the world.” The venturesome lads are Albert Farmer, 12 years old, son of the engineer of the steamer Flynn; Henry Gleason, whose father is fireman at Kenilworth Inn, Seattle, and Alfred Handy, 12 years of age, son of a Sound fisherman. The parents were notified. R S b GOOD NEWS FROM SALEM. Commercial Travelers May Now Ride on Southern Pacific Freight Trains. SALEM, Ogr., Dec. 4.—The Oregon and Washington branca of the Commercial Travelers’ Protective Association has ob- tained what is regarded as a great conces- sion from the Southern Pacific, the privi- lege of riding on freight trains, The asso- ciation importuned the State Railway Commission fora long time without suc- cess. Owing to the poor passenger train service overa great area of Southern Oregon the driunmers found it very inconvenient. The Southern Pacific has religiously en- forced orders relative to the prohibition of f{ussengers on freight trains. The State ailway Commission has at last secured consent that holders of 1000 and 2000 mile tickets shall have the privilege of using the freights hereafte: FVENTS AT SAN JOSE, Divorce Proceedings Begun by a Husband Whose Wife Ran Away.

SAN JOSE, CaL., Dec. 4—Ropert Matz- burg, who was arrested at Madrone a few weeks ago and charged with insanity, was examined on the charge before Judge Lori- age and a native of Germany,where he has a wife_and child living. It was developed that his insanity was caused by drink, and he was discharged from custody. At the time of his arrest he imagined he wasa living electric battery and that it was in- stant death for any one to touch him. g Stole Second-Hand Clothing. SAN JOSE, Can, Dec. 4.—Herbert Bracher was arrested last night while in the act of robbing the auction-house of Davie, Roberts & Co., on Third street, near Santa Clara, by Officer Monahan. Bracher had broken the window with his bootand was filling a sack with second-hand cloth- ing when captured. At the police station the sack was found to contain six second- band ccats, the value of which does not exceed $10. Bracher to-day acknowledged the crime, and has signified his intention of pleading guilty. e claims to be an Australian and has been in this country but three weeks. e e Attempted Suicide. SAN JOSE, Car., Dec. 4.—G. Mushasia, the Italian laborer who attempted suicide by striking himself on the head with an iron bar, has been charged with insanity. He maintains a sullen mood ana pays no attention to what is going on around him. Despondency over inability to obtain em- ployment led to his attempt upon his life. S ee——— Billposters Warned.

Bound for Panama, but Will Call at Acapulco to Take Don Antonio Ezeta Aboard. Don Manuel Casin, friend and backer of Don Antonio Izeta, and the man whom ex-President Carlos Ezeta of Salvador does not like, is about ready to have his char- tered tug, the Barclay Golden, steam ont from Mission-street wharf 2. A partial clearance was made at the Custom-house yesterday, and the crew were signed with Shipping Commissioner Gwin. The in- tention is to leave this forenoon. The identity of the passengers is stilla matter of conjecture. The names given were: “E. J. Thompson,” “George L. Ryan,” “William Featherstone” and “A. J. Gonzales,”’ but, as was observed in the office of the broker clearing the tug: ““These may be fictitious names for nIFI know. We did not see any of them. Mr. Greene- baum of the Pacific Marine Supply Com- pany simply brought the captan in and introduced him.” The captain is A.P. Hansen, who has reconsidered his intention not to go, the argument of a bigger salary having been used to produce that effect. The crew consists of: First Mate H. C. Spring, at $60 er month; Second Mate J. Milander, at 30; Cnief Engineer John Howell, at $90; Assistant Engineer James Ferguson, at | $70; Fireman Matt Price, at $45; Fireman John Fahey, at $45, and Jesa Yokohama, a Japanese cook, at $35. Price, Fahey and the Jap got an advance of $15 each, and the pay of the engineer and his assistant is to be made over to their wives when the vessel has departed. Captain Hansen is a native of Goteborg, weden, 35 years of age. He was natural- ized here twelve yearsagoand has followed the sea since 1878. Engineer Howell was the engineer of the filibustering steamer Alexander, on which Captain Alex McLean made a re- markable voyage. It was the Alexander which was made famous by a report that under Captain McLean’s orders she had fired on the United States cruiser | Mohican, and for a while Captain | McLean was considered a sort of buccaneer. Captain Mclean may yet be mixed up in the Casin expedition, for the schooner Una, which sailed from Main street a few days ago, had him aboard as a passencer, and there is a story atloat that some schooner, probably this one, is to co-operate with Casin’s tug at Acapulco in the matter of getting arms and ammuni- tion on the Salvadoran shore. Second Mate Milander was formerly captain of the schooner Elvina. On the whole the crew may be said to be a picked one for the purpose. The vessel will clear for Panama, “via Acapulco.”” Before going it will bave to cleer at Mexican Consul Coney's office or it will not be able te touch at Acapulco to | take Don Antonio - Ezeta aboard. The | scheme is to take him aboard there and go | on to Panama, if a landing on the Salva- doran coast be not thought advisable, As | Panama is a free port the vessel will be at liberty to do pretty much as she pleases after reaching her avowed destination. It is stated authoritatively encugh that Manuel Casin will be one of her passengers. Enough provisions have been loaded on the little tug to last twelve men a whole year. Ezeta has about fifty rifles at Aca- pulco. The Mexican Government seized them some time ago, but returned them on condition that he would not try to take them out of the coun- try. Ezeta, when he was leaving San Francisco, said he would have arms shipped down the coast after him, and there are quite a number of suspicious shipments of *‘hardware” on the mani- fests at the Custom-house of some of the southbound steamers which have left this port during the past three months. Mexican Consul Coney recently made an inquiry at the Custom-house about the shipment of a case of rifles on a sailing vessel bound for Mexico, but other than that he has not thought it worth while to trouble himself about Ezeta’s opera bouffe invasions and revolutions.
