THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1896, FLYNN OFFERS HS OWN RECORD Autobiography of the Man Suspected of Bahy Murder. ACTIVE IN PORTLAND. Says He Was Officially Aggres- sive in the Suppression of Public Abuses. MADE FOES AS A REFORMER. Aroused by Criticism, th: Arrested Man Declares His Only Fauit Is Poverty. The detectives are still hard at work at- | tempting to unravel the pitifal baby-mur- | der mystery. They are still wo ng on | the theory that Flynn, the suspect under arrest, is the father and virtually the mur- | derer of the newly born babe found in a satchel in a vacant lot last week. In contravention of the theory of Flynn's | guilt is the autobiographv of Flynn, which TrE CALL presents herewith. It is an in- | teresting resume of an aggressive public | career in the Northwest. In the absence of George A. Knight, his artorney, J. T. ¥lynn was reticent and re. fused to make any statement regarding th, testimony of Mrs. Shane, but when con- | fronted with the printed statement in an evening paper referring to his past record he consented to give THE CALL a complete history of his past career. “My photograph as it appears in THE Cavrw this morning,” said he, “I consider to be the best that has appeared in any of the City papers, and in justice to myself, though contrary to the advice of my law- ver, I will give as clear a statement as I possibly can, of my past life for the bene- fit of such of the public as have interested themselves in my case. Ifeel bound tosay a word or two in answer to malicious statements affecting my character, | which have appeared in one or two papers of is City, and while I know that these calum. are published for the purpose of serving that endin the public mind, and therefore hope that you will afford me an opportunity to be hesrd. For nearly twenty-seven years I was a resi- dent of the city of Portland, Ore., and every- thinginm and, sside from a financial embarrassment, caused by no particular faultof mine, there is nothing in it that I desire to conceal. During my career there, both &S & newspaper man and as an officer of the law, I have always been on the side of law and order. In my re- searches as a reporter in that city I found a Chief of Police entrenched behind the power of perpetuity in office, who was accused of hav- | ing accepted a bribe of $500 for permitting the escape of & gang of murderers, and who was | openly using the machinery of the lawas a | private means of vengeance. | Men who dared to cross his path or disturb his profitable traffic in Chinese women were thrown into the inquisitorial cells without even the formality of a charge and kept there under the fire of the detectives until it suited his pleasure to either release or shanghai them. These facts I put in the proper form. laid them before the proper authorities and after & stubborn fight of several months’ dura- fon I finally suceceded in having him re- moved. A short time afterward I was appointed Li- cense Inspector by Mayor Chapman, with the added power of a police officer, and was given carte blanche authority to correct any abuses Ifound in the department. Upon investiga- tion I found that the special police contingent —an offshoot of the detective bureau—was | drawing down about $6000 a month in the orm of tribute from gamblers, falled women T charge of violating the Scott exclusion act. | the magistrate at Victoria for performing the s are not evidence, I also know that they | y life from childhood up is known, | The women were held as witnesses in the sum of $100 each and the two prineipals in the sum of $2000 each. All of the bail money to the amount of $5000 was furnished by the principals and a day or two later declared for- feited, as the entire party skipped for San Francisco. While I was on the way to the County Jail in & hack with the principal, he offered me $5000 in greenbacks to let him out of the hack. On his person I found an itemized statement of the cost of each woman, ranging in value from £400 to $1000, the amount paid the examming physician, the amount paid to the allezed husbands, who were taken from Portland and registered on the outward passage at Port Townsend as “merchants’ whose wives were entitled to return, and finally the sum paid to marriage service. These facts I afterward laid before & United States Senatorial committee. While engaged in this work I wrote the first exposures of the Beecher opium scandal at Port Townsend, which afterward led to some unpleasant developments at Washington. I next visited the Steilacoom Insane Asylum in Washington, taking Dr. Chapman, the Mayor of Portland, with me, and exposed the manner in which Verona Baldwin had been “railroaded” out of California into « Washing- ton asylum for shooting her alleged uncle. The report of her mental condition made by the doctor, together with the mewspaper com- ment I furnished upon the case, was made the subject of special legislative inquiry, which resulted in her release. en turned my attention to the flagrant timber land swindles of Oregon and Washiug- ton and succceded through the honesty of ex- Land Commissioner Sparks in restoring sev- eral thousands of acres of land to the 9ublh‘, domain. I next turned my attention to the real estate business and was more or less 1dentified with various enterprises of Oregon and Washing- ton. During my career as & real estate oper- ator I expended more money for strictly news- paper advertising than any firm on the North Pacific Coa My average advertising ac- count was $1000 a month, and it often reached 500. I made and lost several small for- tunes there, and finally left there eighteen ontirs ago with §23. 1 have a suit now pend- ing 1 Southern Oregon for the recovery of 11,000 on a lana deal, the proceeds of which I have always intended to leave with my cred- itors. A career as aggressive as mine has been is bound to result in the creatior: of enemies | who will rejoice in my ruin, but I think that it will be found, if the investigation is impar- ial, that my only crime is my poverty. April 21 J. T. FLYSN. BONAL ARCH MASONS Election of Grand Officers for the Ensuing Year Completed. | | | | Apnual Convocation for | | | the Juris- dicticn of California Continued. The annual convocation of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons for the juris- | diction of Caiifornia resumed its labors at | the Masonic Temple yesterday morning. | The forenoon was devoted principally to reports of standing committees. The aft- | ernoon session was occupied in the elec- | tion of officers with the following result: Thomas Flint Sr. of San Juan, grand | high priest; William Frank Pierce of Oak- | 1and, deputy grand high priest; Eli Tucker Blackmer of 8an Diego, grand king; Fiorin Leslie Jones of San Francisco, grand scribe ; Franklin Henry Day of San Francisco, grand treasurer; Thomas Henry Caswell of San Francisco, grand recorder. The captain of the host, grand chaplain, grand lecturer, grand organist and grand sentinel being appointed officers their | names will be announced by the grand high priest to-day previous to the installa- | tion of officers. | Grand High Priest Flint is a veteran among the brethren over whom he has been called upon to preside for the next Masonic year. He was born in the State of Maine in 1824. He arrived in California on the 4th of July, 1851, and remained as one of the permanent and substantial pio- neers of the State. Becoming identitied with the Masonic fraternity shortly after | his arrival he was soon recognized as a | man born to preside over his fellows. | Having passed from chair to' chair in the Blue Lodge he was elected master of his lodge, in which his ability was so appre- ciated that he was re-elected and is at present worshipful master. In addition to this honor he was elected 1 Thomas Flint Sr.,, Grand High Pricst of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons. [From a photograph by J. R. Hodson.] and other offenders, many of the officers re- ceiving as nigh s $1000 per month. A zood portion “of this sum was set aside regularly each month for campaign purposes, and I might say it was pretty effectually used, but I finally succeeded, through the medium of the press, in abolishing it. 1 found thirty “fan-tan” games running in Chinatown with no law to punish it. Icaused an ordinance to be passed punishing the of- fense and during the first night of its opera- tion took e squad of officers and arrested over 400 players. Ithen took up the liguor-license question, which was being vigorously opposed, and car- ried it toa successful issue in the Supreme Court. I then inaugurated & war upon the Chinese female-chattel importers who were shipping women for immoral purposes from Victoria to San Francisco by way of Portland, and suc- ceeded in arresting on one occasion a consign- ment of eleven women and the five men in charge. Iarrested them under a warrant fis- sued by the United States Commissioner on & high priest of Hollister Chapter of Royal Arch Masons. Here again the superior qualities which elevated him in the Master Masons’ Lodge and as high priest of the chapter caused his brethren to again in- vite him to the chair in the East as com- mander of Hollister Commandery Knights Templar, and now he bas been honored with the scarlet robes of grand high priest of one of the grandest bodies of men and Masons in the world of this degree. There are yet more honors awaiting this high Mason in the office of most worth: grand master of the Grand Lodge of Cali- fornia and probably the honor of reaching the exnltedp-lalion of supreme grand com- mander of Knights Templar of the United States. Some years ago the Austrian Govern- ment issued & decree by which every en- gineer who had driven his engine for an entire year without accident should re- ceive a reward of $50, and those who have OFFICER ROURKE 15 SUSPENDED, Chief Crowley, However, Believes That He Is Innocent. POLICE CENSURE PURVIS The Landridge Woman Denies a Part of Mclatyre’s Statement. MONEY IS UNACCOUNTED FOR. Rumor That Mrs. Rose M. French Has Two Witnesses to Prove That Rourke Is Being “Jobbed.” The investigation as to whether Patrol- man Thomas Rourke and Special Officer W. J. McIntyre are guilty of embracery is of the rumor, inasmuch as some member of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelt: to Children 1s concerned, but denied thaf this person is Holbrook, adding that these two unknown witnesses had not seen fit to contide to her the name of the person mak- ing the remark. % ilrs. French emphatically asserted her belief in the innocence of Rourke. She said: “For days I worked side by side with him in the North Beach case, and in all that time I never saw 2 man more wide- awake and conscientious in the perform- ance of his duty. I would almost as lief mistrust myself as to believe that he would do a dishonorable act. Thatis, T mean so far as I have been enabled to learn his character from observation and association.’’ “‘Fat Annie,”’ as the woman is called, had no money when arrested and had to borrow small sums to secure necessaries in prison. Rourke said during the afternoon that he bad been suspended pending the inves- tigation by Chief Crowley. “It must not be supposed,” said the lat- ter, “‘that I did this because I suspected Rourke. Far from it. He has never been brought before the Commissioners on a charge of corruption before and I believe him to be an honest and efficient officer.” The case of the woman will come up be- fore Judge Joachimson to-morrow morn- ing. THE PROHIBITION PARTY. It Will Name a Full Ticket at the Stockton Convention. “Joaquin Miller is becoming quite a liberal-minded man,” said Judge R. Thompson, a prominent temperance advo- cute and well-known member of the Pro- hibition party, yesterday afternoon, after he had read the address of the ‘‘Poet of the Sierras” delivered before the members of the Woman's Christian Temperance e Patrolman Rourke, Who Was Suspended Yesterday Pending an Investigation. in full blast. There is no disguising the fact that if Hannah Landridge robbed the farmer, Bush, some one has part orall the money. Who it is, is the question. Yesterday saw many developmentsin the case, but nothing as yet has determined where the money went. Sergeant Wollweber was busily engaged all day in endeavoring to untangle the matted threads of testimony. The state- ments of the boy Valencia, of Rourke, Mc- Intyre, Peshon, Wollweber and other minor officers were taken down by Stenographer Heyneman and type-written copies are now in the possession of Chief Crowley. They do notv differ materially from those that have been already pub- lished. There is one point, however, that may be of importance. Mclintyre states that early Satirday morning he walked down Broadway with the woman (Hannah) to the corner of Kearny, where she left him and walked down Kearny. During this time, Mclntyre says, she expressed a de- sire to see Rourke. This was while the woman was still supposed to have the money, which is alleged to have been taken from the farmer, in her possession. The woman was seen at the prison to- day, and stated in a most agitated manner that if Purvis, Peshon or anybody else said she was with McIntyre any time at all SBaturday morning they stated some- thing that was not true. The woman said several times that from late Friday evening till she sent for the messenger- boy Sunday at 1 A. M. her senses were befuddled by liquor, and she did not know where she was nor what she did. She further said that the farmer tried to induce her to go to Chile with him, and promised to dress her in costly garments, make her a present of a gold watch and chain, and in general treat her as the legitimate partner of his earthly posses- sions. t ‘“‘But,” she added, “I didn’t put any confidence in what he said.”” Her reasons in sending for Officers Rourke or McIntyre in preference to oth- ers is that she thought they wounld be kinder to her than the rest. The reasons for this she would not divulge. Rourke was seen at the City Hall to-day and conversed freely about the case. *‘There is some one inside or outside of police circles that ia trying to ‘job’ me. I have known this for some time. In fact, I think there is a clique against me. can find out who is at_the bottom of this conspiracy there is going to be trouble, “My friendly feeling for the Landridge woman is easily explained. About four years ago there was a saloon on the cor- ner of Jackson and Kearny streets known, I think, as the ‘City of Stockwell.” A man named Morgan was robbed there by a crook called *‘Bow-legged Martin’ and an- other fellow. Hannah was a hanger-on there, and when the thieves were arrested she gave valuable evidence for the State. I promised her then that for this service I wm:ild' befriend her if she was ever in need.’ : Rourke called at the City Prison to see the woman at 10 A. M. Sunday, before the olice knew the details of the case and fore the messenger-boy sent by her had found him, and he hud along conversation with ber in the ‘‘half-cell.” The only thing known about the details of this private conference is what Rourke him- self admits, that he told her he had once befriended her and he did not want her to forget him now. ¢ One of the stories rumored yesterday was that Mrs. Rose M. French, ex-presi- dent of the Women’s Civic Federation, had told some ore that she could produce two witnesses who would testify that Frank Holbrook of the Society for the Prevention of Cruejty to Children had made the fol- lowing remark: *This man Rourke took the North Beach scandal out of our hands and ran it to suit himself. IfIam not mistaken he will be ‘broke’ within thirty dafil." To one interviewer Mrs, French flatly denied that she had made any such state- ment, or one even faintly resembling it. done so for ten consecutive years shall re- ceive $500 and a gold medal. | fact that Mrs, But another person is authority for the rench admitted the truth 1| Union at Pacific Grove last Friday. “He does what he believes is right and he ap- pears to be willing to let others do like- wise. ‘‘He asserts that the people of Italy drink wine and that they are not drunk- ards. Well, that is easily accounted for. The people there drink a light wine and nothing else, because they are too poor to procure anything stronger. The people of rance were at ope time drinkers of only light wines, but that created an appetite for something stronger and they use in- toxicants. Why could not the Italians convert the products of their vines into | spirits or brandy? Because it costs more | than to produce light wines and they are too poor to purchase the higher-priced products. “He talks of homicides and suicides. Now, it is a remarkable fact that for number of vears past homicides have in- creased 1n the United States at the rate of /900 a year. This is the effect of a | cause, and the question is, What is the cause? Some are ready to lay it to one | cause, intoxieation, but there must be other causes. There is for a cause a want of proper education in the right direction. What is needed is an_education that ele- vates, one that tends to eiadicate the spirit of selfishness and produces happi- ness. The individual who seeks to make others happy makes happiness for him- self. We who are working in the temper- ance line are striving to that end. “It is also a remarkable that the pecple of the United States are the lowest in the scale of morals in the world. Sta- tistics show that beyond dispute, and why is it so? I tell you, itis because the power of government is placed in the hands of too many who are ignorant. Joaquin Mil- ler talks of giving the ballot to women. I am in favor of that; sois the Prohibition party; but Iam opposed to giving it to women who are not possessed of sufficient intelligence to understand its use and its value. The ballot has been given too freely in this country to too many people. For instance, the ballot ought not to have Leen given to the negroes without some ?unlincntion; an educational qualification. t is true that California has taken a_ste in that direction, but it should prevail nfi over the Union, *'The Prohibition party is one of educa- tion. It will keep in the field; not that we expect to obtain any offices, but we want to remain to continue the work we have commenced, for like all great re- forms it takes a long time to obtain the results sought. Our purpose is to do away with that which demoralizes and does harm to a people, and by doing that we. benefit the people. We shall hold our convention in Stockton next month, but what will be done has not yet been de- termined upon at this time that I know of. We shall, however, nominate a full ticket and probably make it up in the main from the candidates on the other tickets, With every election we have gained strength, and in this City, where we number about 600, we hold the balance of powers We will keep on until we ob- tain our object, and that is total absti- nence.” ———————— Wings Against Steam, Erie and Pittsburg trainmen are talking about the curious race between an express train and a wild goose which occurred the other day between Shadeland and the Summit. The veteran engineer, Tony Welsh, was at the throttle, and when the Canadian honker came lazily soaring alongside the engine and challenged the iron steed to keep up with him, Tony turned on the steam and made it neces- sary for the goose to flap his wings a little harder, and after getting out of sight of the train he would settle down in a field and wait for the express to catch up to him. He waited at Springboro, Conneaut- ville and Summit, and starting after the train from these points, flew close to the coach windows in full view of all the pas- sengers, who crowded over to that side of the train to observe the queer actions of the bird. When the goose at one time foc close to tbe engine, Engineer Welsh pulled the whistle and the bird was so badly scared that he turned over in the air like a tumbling pigeon. i IFELLED BY JACK FROST, Fruit Suffers Severely in All Sections of the State. HEAVY LOSSES ARE PREDICTED. Peaches, Apricots, Prunes, Almonds and Grapes Are Almost Total Failures. A general calamity howl has been set-up by the fruit-growers of the State. The frosts of the last ten days, and par- ticularly the one of Sunday night, were uncommonly severe; hence the wholesale prediction of disaster and destruction, From all parts of the fruit-growing sec- tion have come reports that the crops were much hurt, partly ruined or wholly de- stroyed. The only crumb of encouragement to be picked up by the fruit men so far is the fact that predictions almost as bad have been made in previous years, and when the harvest came in proved to have been greatly exaggerated. The worst, feature of this bad and un- timely frost business, however, exists in the belief on the part of the leading com- mission dealers that the reports from dif- ferent parts of the State have been under | rather than over drawn. Said D. C. Allison, commission mer- chant at the corner of Frontand Wash- ington streets, yesterday : “The truth 1 am afraid has not half been told. It is worse than it has been de- picted in the newspapers. The cherries, apricots and early veaches will prove al- most a total failure, and graves will not be more than a third of a crop. All sections have suffered alike. The Sonoma and Napa valleys, Santa Clara, the Visalia and Vacaville sections have sustained a loss that cannot be estimated at this time. Even the upland trees and vines did not escape. “The loss will be great to the State, and even in the event of a short crop in the | East the consequent advance in prices here will not compensate the growers for the loss they must suffer from these severe frosts.” Dalton Bros., on Davis street, near Washington, had a similar report to make: “From our private corre- spondence it seems that the story has not been half told. The matter is worse than has been represented by the press. Cherries, apricots, peaches and almonds are almost a complete failure. Prunes will also suffer greatly from the late seyere frosts. The frost of last Sun- day night was one of the Lieaviest ever known at this season of the year. How will it affect prices? Well, prices must necessarily goup, but not high enough to square the loss of the fruit men by reason of the sacrificed crops.” ““The reports are all bad,” said A. W. Porter of Porter Bros., Davis street, neax Clay. *“Itis worse than was at first appre- hended. All the early fruit will be almost a dead failure and peaches, prunes and grapes are sure to be less tban a third of a crop. We have received the most discour- aging reports from Woodland, Winters, Armons, Kings County, Los Angeles, San Jose and so on. My brother telephoned me this morning that the frost had playea great havoc among the trees in the Wil- lows district, near San Jose, and also in the Los Gatos section. I cannotsee any encol,xraging condition or the promise of one.” The only encouraging reports come from the Sacramento River country, where the frost was less felt. Thealmond crop, how- ever, 1n all parts of the State is almost a totalfailure. Stewart & Co. was the only firm to take a non-calamitous view of the situation. “We do not believe things are half as bad as tkey are pictured. As long as gny of us have been in the business we can recall similar rs{mrts being made nearly every spring. No doubt the frosts have done much harm, though we cannot believe thereis going o be entailed such great loss as so many of the fruit men seem to believe. At any rate good grices can bhe depended on by the growers.”” ‘What the Guard Walked Back For. “Not infrequently,” said a citizen, “you see the gunard on the rear car of a train on the elevated road walk back through the car and look out behind. I never under- stood exactly why he does this, but I sup- pose that at night he looks out to see that the end lights are burning all right, and in the daytime he looks out to see that every- thing is all right. “In a car that I wentuptown in the other day the guard came walking back in the usual manner, but this time he didn’t go clear to the end of the car and look out. He sat down for a moment be- tween me and a little girl who sat in the next to the end seat, the end seat being océupied by a little boy. The two children had been looking out of the windows, the small boy on his knees in his seat, and the little girl on her feet, but when the guard sat down the little girl turned at once from her window and put her arms around his neck and the small boy turned from | his window and smiled. “The guard had come back not to look at the end lights or things in general, but to take a little look at the lights of his existence.” e A salmon measuring 42} inches 1in length and weighin%&s pounds waslanded ashort time ago at Great Yarmouth (Eng- land) fish whari. The fish was captured in a traw! net on the fishing-grounds. NEW TO-DAY. THE OWL DRUG CO., g CUT-RATE . DRUGGISTS, 11268 MARKET ST., BAN FRANCISCO.
