16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDA APRIL 18, 1896. ’ MYSTERY OF THE BABY UNRAVELED | Its Reputed Father Now in the Custody of the Authorities. DENIES ALL COMPLICITY | The Mother Is a Grass Widow Named Browning,Who Lives at 130 1-2 Ninth Street. | STATEMENT OF THE DOCTOR, John T. Flynn, Charged With the Child’s Paternity, an Employe | of the Labor Bureau. !‘ The mystery surrounding the dead and abandoned babe of one hour’s age found in a satchel in a vacant lot on Twelith street, | near Market, has been solved. The mother of the dead babe, a Mrs. Browning, is under a physician’s care at her home, 130} Ninth street, and the | reputed father, J. T. Flynn, is in the City Prison charged with the murder of the | infant. Captain Lees has had six men on the case since the @iscovery of the little corpse. The clew which led to the discovery and capture of the supposed father and mur- derer of the child emanated from the State Labor Bureau. It seems that J. T. Fiynn in the employ of the bureau had given his card to Dr. Quigley, who attended the mother of the abandoned babe, to be presented to Com- missioner Fitzgerald for payment of his obstetric fee. On the strength of thisinformation the detectives shadowed Mrs. Browning’s house, 130} Ninth street, with the result that a full uescription was obtained of the dead baby’s supposed father and mur- derer, and his arrest followed last night at 6:30 o’clock. Flynn has worked for the Labor Bureau and on the organ of the Commissioner for some time. ‘When brought into the presence of Cap- tain Lees last night he conducted himself in a patural manner, without being flip- pant or straining for a nonchalance. He denied in toto all knowledge of a babe having been born to Mrs. Browning and that he was in any wey connected with the death and abandonment of the help- less mite of humanity. The detectives secured a statement from Mrs. Browning to the effect that Flynn was the father of the child, and that he had taken it away an hour after its birth, ostensibly to place itin an asylum. The story of Dr. Quigley, who attendea the unfortunate woman, corroborates her statement in detail. Mrs. Ellis Browning claims to have been deserted by her husband four years ago, and since then she has been doing the best she could to support her two children and herself. When she met Flynn things were different. When presented with a statement of the charges to be made against him by Cap- tain Lees Flynn said: “I deny all those charges in toto. I| called on Mrs. Browning on that evening without any idea of what ailed the woman. In fact, I do not know even now that she was pregnant. I called there occasionally and bave been keeping company with the | woman for about a year. “I do not know anything abouta baby. Of course,” turning to Captain Lees, “I am not aware of what evidence you may have in your possession, and I do not wish | to be understood as disputing your word, but I repeat that I know nothing of any | child. “Early in our acquintance Mrs. Brown- ing informed me that her condition was | . such as to preclude anything more than mere friendship. “I called there that evening at about 9:30 o’clock and found her suffering from severe pains in the side. I did not think that it had anything to do with her pos- sible pregnancy. As we had talked about a threatened abscess, I thought her suffer- | ing was due to that cause. As her condi- tion grew worse I suggested that I had better go to a doctor. She demurred and said that she did not wish a doctor. I in- sisted, however, and wenf to the nearest doctor that I could find. I sent him up there and told him to send his bill to me,” In answer to a question by Captain Lees, Flynn said: “I saw nosign of pregnancy. If I had I would have haa nothing to do with the case. I was not there during the delivery of the child, if such there was, and knew nothing of it. When I went back to see if I could be of any assistance in getting a preseription I saw no indication of any such thing as childbirth. “I went back at half past 1 and she asked me to walk around the block with her little girl. I was gone about half an hour. When I came back I did not notice anything unusual about the room. Then her sister asked me up to her house with her. Itwason Larkin street, near Ellis, She carried a bundle with her about so long [measuring with his hands about two feet.] I waited at the foot of the stairs until she came down again, which was in about fifteen minutes. Then we turned to Mrs. Browning. After leaving Mrs. Browning's sister at the door I went down Mission street to my home.”” ¥ ‘When asked by Captain Lees concerning | the gripsack in which the baby’s body was found Flynn denied all knowledge of such an article. Continuing, he said: «] never had any relation with Mrs. Browning except that of pure friendship. 1 took an interest in her after she had told me her history. My interest in her was that of mere friendship, nothing more. “I know nothing about the birth of any child, and as I said before, if I had been cognizant of her condition I should not have gone to the house at that time. I deny all knowledge of any chiidbirth, and still believe that the woman was suffering from peritonitis, I still say that I know nothing of any satchel or towel, such as those said to have been found in the vacant lot. I believe that Iam a victim of cir- cumstances.” Dr. Quigley’s statement to Detective Gibson was as follows: “T was called to Mrs. Browning’s bed- side at 11:15 p. M. last Monday. Mr. Flynn came after me. When I went there I found tnatthe woman was about to be confined. It was an eight and a half months’ child, Not having been informed of the condition of the patient whom I was about to visit I was comparatively un- prepared. After attending to the mother and making her as comfortable as possible, which took some time, I turned around and failed to see the child. “On inquiry I was informed that it had been placed in a bureau drawer. On re- turning later at night, and the child still being out of sight for some unaczountable reason, I again made inquiry as to its | whereabouts, and was told that it was all right. 1 was afterward informed that Mrs. Browning understood that the child was to have been taken to an asylum by the man who called for me. | THIRTY-ONE SICK COWS ARE KILLED, The Almshouse Herd Is Almost Entirely Ex- tirpated. ONLY THREE ESCAPED. Weaver Says He Is Glad That the Board of Health Has Set Him Straight. JULIAN BLAMED FOR IT ALL. Dockery and Creely Now Propose to Make War on the Dairies in the County. The Almshouse dairy is a total wreck. Out of a herd of thirty-four cows bereto- fore confined in the barn of the County’s great charitable institution only three remain. Veterinary Surgeon Creely, Milk In- “The names of the father and mother as | spector Dockery ana Market Inspector sible for him to attend to everything in person, and consequently he must depend on the assistance of those under him. “I have seen the cows fed and properly attended to by the man formerly in charge and nothing of this kind existed at that time. If the cows did not receive suffi- cient food the fault rests entirely with Julian. All that he had to do was to re- port the matter to Weaver and I am sure it would have been corrected. The latter is greatly handicapped in being surrounded by enemies, who during the past few months have strained every nerve to throw him down. When all this is fully under- stood I feel confident that the people gen- erally will appreciate our superintendent’s embarrassing position.’’ It is the intention of the three health in- spectors to make an investigation of every dairy in the country. They will begin on this work next week, and according to Dockery’s idea some rich hauls will be made. MORMON CHOIR CONCERT. The Monster Tabernacle Chorus Re- sounded Again Last Night. Brigham Young’s tastes seem to have run particularly to big families and big choruses, but while polygamy bas long been on the wane even in Utah, the mon- ster tabernacle choir is as great an institu- tion as it was when the Mormon saint first organized it. The completion of a mammoth temple of worship where the great majority of the people of a whole city might congregate under one roof and give expression to their common faith necessitated a choir of ex- traordinary size to produce a volume of sound in” keeping with the extensive auditorium. And so it was that Salt Lake City, unique among the cities of the world for its possession of the largest tabernacle, came to have a choir that as a large per- marent organization for sacred song rivals anything of the kind in the world. t is in the powerful, reverberating, R SLAUGHTERING — THE DISEASED COWS AT THE ALMSHOUSE. given to me were Harry Walden and Eliza Prescott. I told the mother immediately the child was safely delivered that it was necessary to have the names of the parents to file a certificate of the birth with the Board of Health. She said to come to- morrow and she would fix up some names, I told her there would be no need to fix up any names, as I knew both hers and the father’s.” The statement of Mrs. Ellis Browning, as made to Detective Gibson, is as follows: ‘At abowt 11:15 o’clock . . last Mon- day I gave birth to a baby in this room. My sister was with me and the doctor. Mr. Fiynn sent the doctor to attend me, and after the doctor left Mr. Flynn came in and took the baby away, saying that he would take it to an asylum. What he did with it I don’t know. Flynn is the father of the child. I suppose he wrapped it in a towel, and if he did you’ll find the laundry mark on this towel [banding one to fhe detective] the same as the one the baby was wrapped in. I have known Flynn for along time. Idid not see any valise in the room.” Captain Lees stated that a subpena had been served on the mother of the aban- doned infant, but that she was still con- fined to her bed and too ill for any one to think of moving her, and added that even if she could be removed he saw no reason for doing o at the present time. Flynn did some very effective work as a journalist in Portland, Or., several years ago, and has been employed for a time recently on the San Francisco Examiner, Three or four years before his departure from the northern city he held a lucrative position as land agent for Jonathan Bourne Jr., the millionaire owner of the townsite of Grants Pass, Or., during which time he caused no little public comment by his extravagant style of advertising, filling columns of the daily papers of this City and Portland with attractive dis- play advertisements, and chartering excursion trains in both cities to convey intending purchasers to the new townsite. He has been a married man, but his wife died a few years ago, ieaving a boy, who is now 12 years of age, and who accompanied his father to this City about a year ago. This child is now living with Flynn’s sis- ter, who is married and residing "here. It is stated that George A. Knight has been retained for the defense. NEW TO-DAY.

ALAMEDA, CaL.,, April 17.—The Ala- meda Auxiliary Woman Suffragist Associ- ation held their usual meeting this after- noon with a very slim attendance. It was suggested that to carry on the war m Africa surprise parties should be organized until all felt that the proposed efevemh amendment to the State constitution would be passed. Further discussion of the matter was postponed till the meeting next Friday evening at the Sunny Cove Baths, It was also arranged to write a letter to all lawyers, public speakers and “‘brainy men’’ in the city, asking them to come before the association and air their several views on the question. A paper was read by Mrs. Dietz and Mrs. Colonel Dickinson recited one of Olive Schreiner’s “‘Dreams.” —————— The Number Limited, Alameda will not receive a set of meteor- ological instrnments from Washington, D.

Of the thirty-four cows in the barn fur- nishing milk for the Almshouse inmates, twenty-four were declared to be totally bad, seven with suspicious tendencies and three wholly sound. Later in the day the emperature of the seven ‘“‘suspects” was again taken. In every instance it was found to have risen from one to three degrees, and so Dr. Creely decided to put them in the condemned bunch. About 2 o'clock in the afternoon Creely and Davis, with Dockery keeping “tab,” began the work of destruction. It was a mooted question as to the best method of putting the afflicted animals to death. The master of ceremonies, Veterinary Surgeon Creely, insisted that the only humane way to do the thing was to send a bullet into the brain of each. This plan was accord- ingly adopted, but later results showed that Creely was far more expert in hand- ling a hypodermic syringe than in dealing out deadly leaden missiles. It required two shots to bring the first cow to her knees, and even then Davis had toend the creature’s sufferings by a well- directed blow on the forehead with an ax. After this Creely discarded the gun and employed only the old-time weapon. One by one the animals were led out into the big barren pasture, and by 5:30 o’clock thirty-one cows were stretched on the field. Davis wielded the knife with a freedom which evidenced his thorough familiarity with such work. A few of the cows showed that the disease had made but lit- tle headway, thongh in the main they presented a disgusting sight. Tuberculo- sis of the lungs was seen in every animal slaughtered. Some were perfectly honey- combed, while others indicated that the disease was of recent origin, During the early part of the slaughter Superintendent Weaver was an interested spectator. He did not have to ask any questions. The little white patchesand protruding buttons told their own story. He was satisfied that Creely had made no mistake, except possibly in not payinga visit to the institution months before. However, he forgave these shortcomings, and declared his intention of keeping a more watchful eyve on this particular de- partment in the fature. The visit of the Health officers to the Almshouse has in one sense been an expensive one. The stock destroyed can- not be replaced for less than $1200, and in the meantime some seventy or eighty gal- lons of milk must be purchased each day to take the place of that formerly supplied by the slaughtered cows. Mr. Weaver, however, does not regret this item of ex- pense, but to use his own language, he does “‘sincerely regret being censured for something which he could not prevent or control.” The superintendent contends that Julian, the keeper, is altogether responsible for the condition in which Messrs. Dockery, Creely and Davisfound the milk-supplying animals of the Almshouse. In this posi- tion he is sustained by James Conniff, one of the clerks. The latter said last night: “I do not mean to reflect on Julian or any one else, but I do feel that Mr. ‘Weaver has been placed in a false light by these occurrences. If the superintendent had known the condition of the cows it stands to reason that he would have set about correcting it. It is utterly impos- mighty rolling of the eighty or ninety female and as many male voices that the chorus is heard at ‘its best. You look at the tier above tier of women seated at one side of the stage and all dressed in white, and at a corresponding array of men oppo- site and all in somber evening dress, and you expect something unusual to result from the harmonious blending of so many trained voices. At a signal from the leader, they rise as a unit and the chorus starts, perhar: softly gliding in the open- ing bars, only to gush forth a little later with all the’ force of its combined vocal power. So large a company could not travel in the West primarily as a_business venture unless they came very often across cities the size of S8an Francisco, that could fur- nish the audiences that have been in at- tendance upon the concerts for the last three nignts in Metropolitan Temple. But they are on_a tour chiefly for pleas- ure, and that's different. Last night’s programme was _essentially the same as that rendered on Wednesday night at the opening concert. The “Soi- dier’s Chorus,” from “Faust,” was substi- tuted for the “Prison Scene’’ of Verdi, and was one of the selections in which the choir, all the members of which sang without notes, showed to advantage. Master Charley Pike, the boy_alto, san; again Handel's““Angel Ever Bright an Fair.” He has a remarkable voice, and the pity is that he will probably out- grow it. To-night’s concert will end the general programme, and to-morrow night the choir will give 1ts farewell performance, devoting the evening entirely to sacred music. DELEGATE TO THE FEIS.| The Balfe-Moore Club Will Send a Representative to the Celtic Musical Festival. The Balfe-Moore Club, which has re cently been organized for the purpose o encouraging Irish and American music and literature, held a meeting at its rooms last evening; T. R. Bannerman in the chair. The committee on programme, Frank McGlynn, George A. Rice, Dr. 0. K. Steers, John J. Barrett and Thomas Dolan, re- ported having secured Metropolitan Hail for Friday evening, May 29, for an enter- tainment. The committee on credentials, Captain P.J. Dunne, M. C. Hassett and Rev. P. J. Cummins, reported favorably on names of several candidates who asked admission, and they were thereiore duly elected mem- bers, A communication was read from Ireland about the great festival to be held at Dub- lin early in autumn for the revival of ancient Celtic melodies. James Horan, secretary of the Balfe- Moore Club and one of its organizers, who is a Celtic scholar, was unanimously elected to represent the society at “‘the Feis.,” This festival is by no means original, as when Ireland made her own laws and her people were united, with her great seats of education the pride of Europe, the inbabitants held the Feis yearly for a week about May. The greatest printing and publishing firms in London- have collected an written to music old Celtic melodies which have never appeared set to music, but which have been sung and handed down from generation to generation by the peas- antry of the country. 5 The Feis takes place in Dublin in autumn and lasts a week. It is intended to be an annual affair in future. Dr. Charies Villers Stanford, an Irishman, is to tuke charge. He is professor of music at Cambridge University, author of count- less songs, cantatas and many operas, the latest of which is “Shamus 0'Brien.” - — Ladies’ Southern ties, $1 45, all shades, every toe. Ryan & Ryan, 10 Mongomery avenue, * THE ROAD'S NEW OWNERS John D. and Adolph Spreckels Bought Half of the Electric Line. EMPLOYES TO BE RETAINED. No Changes in the Personnel—Needed Improvements to Be Made Scon. 1t was announced yesterday for the first time that John D. and Adolph Spreckels were half owners of the San Francisco and San Mateo Electric Railway, which was recently sold at public auction pursuant to an order of the Superior Court. At the time of the sale the purchasers were announced as John A. Buck and Nicholas Ohlandt, but those on ‘‘the in- side” of the big deal knew that there was other capital interested. Yesterday both the Messrs. Spreckels mentioned author- ized the statement that they were half owners with Buck and Ohlandt. Another point of interest in connection with the. matter is the fact that the new owners took formal possession of the entire property purchased yesterday. When questioned concerning the con- templated changes in management John D. Spreckels said : “For the present we will not make any radical changes. “The men, every one of them, will be retained 1n the places they now occupy. There will be no change in this direction. The superintendent informs me that he has good men working for him, and this is all that we desire or all that we can get or expect. “Workingmen have rights that em- ployers should respect, and one of these is to treat them well when they are found true and faithful. *The road is in need of repairs all along the line. This will be attended to just as soon as we get thoroughly informed as to the necessities of the situation and the need of the improvements. ‘““The line has been somewhat neglected during the legal squabble through the courts. 1t is a good line and can be made to pay well when it is put in proper work- ing condition.” ASSIGNING CLASSES.
