Wilber he wanted to se2 the District When that official appeared he had a statement to make, 11d like to have Assistant District Sheriff Jennings, Deputy iff Fred Jennings and a stenographer These persons were summoned and Ebanks made a confession in ia He told of coming down the railroad track with one Garges and seeing the tent on the beach. He had eaten an orange he found beside the track, and it made him hly sick. He went down to the tent to see if he could not get some medicine. There he found the aged Borden and his der o fathe daughter, Mrs. Stiles, aged about 55. He greeted them by saying: I'm sick; give me something. I feel as if I was dying.” He said the old man turned around and noticed that the muzzle of a revolver was showing out of a sack Ebanks was carry- ing. The oid man went back toward a cot d said he would get something to relieve ibanks. Whav followed is told by the derer: “Ido not know that I said anything to the man at all, but it was only just my opinion tha someth possibly to shoot me with. He ked toward the cot and I did not ow what he was doing behina the cot. Isat then in the chair and fired at him and I'shot the old gentleman. Idid not know at that time where I had hit nim, but he fell. Then the old lady sung out to me, "My God, he had no gun. I sat there and 1 looked at him and I looked at her and I begged her to hitch a team and go away and let me get away. I was sorry for what I had done. The woman said to me—I do not just remember the first words that were spoken—but anyway, I said to her, says I, ow I am awful sorry for what I have done, and his own foolishness caused it’; now, says I, ‘whatis I going to do about t5 get rid of this? The only way out ow for me’—says I—'I know your life is sweet and mine is sweet and we all thinks that your life is sweeter to you than mine i 1 pose you think so, and’ about the same, I subpose, ‘I thin to kiil you along with him, and for me to make mylescape.’ nd I said to the woman, ‘I suppose I n’t got much time to think tbis matter over. The best thing for you to do is to get to praying for yourself; I may possi- bly have to shoot you.’ e stayed there and I dropped tears over man; but I thought the only refuge for myself was to shoot that woman, fter the woman raised from her knees and turned around, she looked at me and she did not say anything. I held the gun laying across my lap and 1 shot her; here, 1 do not know, up until to-day. kind of fell b ething, but I saw she was just in m ery. The wound did not kill her—it did not look like it to me—and I shot the h ohd time, I wal over to the cot where t be certain that there was no weapon there that he was looking for to injure me. After amining behind the cot and around the cot and seeing thatthere was n0 weapon there, before God I felt worse. *I walked back to the door and I tried at gun three times in succession to my own breast, but she refused to go. I then turned around, and the old gentleman had some movement in some part of his body, or made me think that he suffered, and I tried it the fourth time on him and she went off, and T think that was the shot that was througi his body.” Ebanks concluded his confession by say- ing that his one desire was to see his chil- dren once more. They are on the island of Grand Cayman, West Indies. He says he wishes his appeal withdrawn and s ready to die any time.

When he learned Jurpose of the officers’ visit he de- ed the entire story a fake; that he had o 3ot seen Dunham; had not sold a rifle or to any stranger. The party then ex- erns, but failed to find any pointed shoe prints or bicycle tracks. They started back over the rough road, pausing occa- L v to kick themselves.

SAN JOSE, CaL, June the mun was then looking for | the only way out of this for me is| The woman knelt down by the cot and | k on the cot or against | man was laying to see and to | ed the roads and bridges by means of jous kinds of punishment_that should be meted out to When they reached the team Yes, we saw him and he sars the whole 2.--Edward Doyly, who resides at the corner of Second mpire streets, was a schoolmate of and Dunham’s at the Washburn School. Speaking of this, Doyly said to-night: “I went to school withthe murderer for abcut a month, and used to sit next to him. He seemed quite studious, but the boys at the school always noticed that he never wore shoes that were mates. In the | morning when Dunham would come to school we would at once glance at his _feet, and would always see one shoe with & vointed toe and the other either square or round pointed. They were all apparently the same size and in good condition. When he saw us noticing his feet, he would show little embarrassment. We ‘joshed’ him, but he never got mad.” This reported peculiarity gives some ba- sis of truth to the reiterated story of the track of a single pointed shoe that has| come down from the mountain. It is re- | peated again that the searchers in Indian | | Gulch bave found such tracks at intervals | leading from near where the buckskin horse was found to the head of the gulch and clearly indieating that they were the same as those followed the day before in the Safi Isabel. From Indian Gulch Dun-| ham could have made his way down the the Alameda and out by Niles or over the ridge south into the Pacheco Mountains. There, it is believed, he would be safe among the many Mexican convicts who live there, and who, while his money holds out, might be expected to protect him. R B s PLANS FOR THE FUTURE. The Campbells Demon Desired to Pur chase a Saloon. SAN JOSK, CaL., June 2.—Byron Cottle of this city, who has formed one of the Sheriff’s posse in the search for James C. | Dunham, knew the murderer very well. | A week or ten days before the murder Dunham came to Cottle, and telling him | that he had a few hundred dollars to in- | vest in some business by which he could | make plenty of money without working | hard, asked his advice as to opening a sa- loon. Cottle told him he thought there was little money 1n it in this city, ana ad- ised him, if he really wanted to open a | n, to seek some small town where | there was a good payroll, suggesting the Utica mine. “That is at Angels Camp,” said Dun- | ham; ‘1 know the place. The trouble is that the men are not allowed to spend their money in whisky up there. If they are caught doing so they are discharged.’” In further conversation Dunham showed himself to be quite famiiiar with many | places in the north end of the State. Cot- | tle saw Dunham on Monday, the day be- | | fore the murder, and talked with him along similar lines. This would indicate | that there was more than a disposition to | annoy his wiie in Dunham’s various | threats to go to Texas, open a saloon and | gaml house and rear his son in the | Catholic faith. Evidently the first part of | the threat, at least, had formed as some- | thing of a purpose in his mind. | SR il BEFORE THE TRAGEDT. Movements of the Muvrderer of the Mc- - Gliney Family Traced. SAN JOSE, Car.,, June 2.—THE CALL | correspondent has to-day been able to trace | for the first time almost every movement of the murderer on the day of the crime. | He had not been at home on Monday night. He went to Osgood’s bicycle store, on First | street, early Monday morning, before | | school. He had left his bicycle there to | have a tire put on it. The tire, which had been revaired, was | coming from the East, but had not ar- rived. Dunham went to the place]| { on borrowed wheel, asked about | | the tire, was told that it had | not arrived, met there James Wells, one of his victims of Tuesday night, | and assisted Wells in reparing a pedal on | the latter’s tandem. On going away he | | took his own bicycle with him without | the tire, much to Osgood's surprise. | The supposition has always been and still remains that he hid the wheel in the brush somewhere where it would aid him in his escape. Dunbam went to school on Tuesday and remained until the close of the | session. He did not take Lis books with | n, as was his daily custom. About 4 o’clock he made his appearance in the neighborhood of the Willows, where is the | Penniman property, upon which he held a | mortgage. | He made inquiries among several of the residents about land and its value, which he hai been doing for some time since he threatened to foreclose this mortgage. He asked a small boy to direct him to the Willow Glen store, followed the direc- tions and went to the store, which. is on Willow street. *'He loafed about the store for an hour,” said A. E. Winslow, the proprietor, to- night. “Idid not know hiin—had never seen him before that I know of—and thought it rather strange that a young man from Campbelis should be over here | | a | with no apparent business to call | him here. 1 thought he might bet- ter be at home picking cherries, or something of the kind, and I asked him if they did not have any cherries over there. ! He replied pleasantly enough, ‘Oh, ves: we have g few.’” Iam not sayine, mind you, that this was Dunham, but it was the ame man whom my neighbor, Frank pring, afterward talked toand whem he says wes Dunham. He knows him well. | He went away from the store about 5 o'clock or something after. He saw Spring | and talked to him.” Frank Spring keeps a blacksmith-shop just next to the Willow Glen store. He was formerly in the same business at Campbells. In an interview to-night he said : “1 was away from the shop Tuesday afternoon and was returning to it about 6 o'clock. 1 was passing Dunham at a point between the shop and the electric street- cars without noticing him. When Dun- ham said ‘Hello, Frank!' I stopped in some surprise, for had not seen Danham for a long time, are you do over here at this time of night? He answered, ‘O, just walking about.” 1 asked him why he was walking and he said he had broken his wheel. “We talked about indifferent matters 1 said, ‘What until I started to go. 1 asked him if he intended to walk back, and he said ‘Yes.’ 1 then advised him to go throngh the orchard, which is a much nearer way, toward Campbells, but he said the ground was too soft and toodusty. He started away toward the electric cars.” It is known that Dunham took the cars and rode to Dry Creek, He was seen about 8 o’clock going up Dry Creek by a young man who was walking there with a lady. Dunham knew the young man, but he passed with his head down and without speaking. This brought the murderer to the scene of his crime at an hour but shortly before the horrible work was begun. S STILL NEAR MOUNT HAMILTON. No Traee of Dunham Found in the San Joaquin Valley. MODESTA, C€an, June 2.—Sheriff Purvis has returned from a two days’ search in the Cosst Rangeon this side, opposite Santa Clara County, for Murderer Dunham. The Shenff went up the canyons through which a man could cross the mountains into the San Joaquin Valley. He found no trace, and says Dunham could not have crossed the range and taken a train out of the valley. He showed the residents of the passes and canyonsa photo of Dunham and put all on guard, PREEIE S BICKMAN'S SUSPICIOUS GUEST. Peculiar Actions of a Stranger Who Re- sembled the Fugttive. STOCKTON, Cav., June 2.—A. B.

From Hickman the man drove south- ward, saying that he was bound for Los Angeles. He seemed so ill at ease while at Hickman that attention was drawn to him, and then it was seen that he greatly resembled the published description of the It is not believed here that the man seen at Hickman was Dunham. The Sheriff's office was not notified of the stranger’s appearance and the officials are skeptical. RN S LS BABY DUNBAM’S NEW HOME. M. T. Brewer Becomes the Guardian of the Murderer’s Child. Surrounded by the comforts of an ele- gant home, Baby Dunham, robed in dainty, fleecy garments, is dreaming away the sleepy hours of his dawning childhood. His grandaunt, Mrs. M. T. Brewer, has taken him to her home on Turk street, where he is destined to remain, for yester- aay Judge Slack granted letters of guard- ianship to M. T. Brewer. ‘“‘He doesn’t look as though he were the sole survivor of a wholesale slaughter, does he?” said Mrs. Brewer last night, gazing fondly upon the infant, which lay slumbering in her lap. “Here the baby is safe from harm. We intend to bring him up far from the scene of the dreadful tragedy, on which his infant eyes must have rested.” The tiny subject of Mrs. Brewer's re- marks here opened his eyes and crowed in proper baby fashion. No shade of death and horror seems to overhang the murder- er’s child, who smiles and chuckles to him- | selfata surprising rate. Though strong | and healthy for his age, and wide awake to boot, his grandaunt does not consider bhim capable of looking out for himself, and even seems to doubt her own efficient vigilance, and accordingly a formiaable volice officer is quartered in the house, “I'm a new-hand at the business,” ob- gerved this minion of law last night, when HIBERNIANS AT THE GARDENCITY. Denovan of San Francisco Elected President of the Order. NEW OFFICES CREATED. Young Men in Friendly Rivalry With the “Old Guard” in the Convention. FEAST AND JOKE AT NIGHT. Two Hundred Gussts Present at a Banquet Given in Their Honor. SAN JOSE, Car., June 2.—The Ancient Order of Hibernians possess the happy faculty of blending business with pleasure; of extracting what enjoyment there is in life, yet looking after the cares and duties that beset all humans.’ To-day the con- vention 1n session in this city elected offi- J.J. Donovan of San Francisco, Elected State President of thz convention resolved to create a ladies’ auxiliary. This departure goes to the ex- tent of ‘authorizing each county or dis- trict to organize an auxiliary division of women, whose efforts will be directed to the advancement of the order. 5 During the noon recess there was active canvassing on behalf of the canaidates for State president. The younger members were exceedingly active, but had cause to be astonished at the speed displayed by the ‘‘old-timers.” The speeches, frequently interrupted by stormy demonstrations of applause, lasted from 2 until 4:15 o’clock. Then a recessof ten minutes was taken to allow delegates to vrepare their ballots. No vote was taken until all the officers on the list were placed in nomination. The oflicers elected by acclamation are: Reyv. . 0. Crowley of Oakland, State chaplain; Edward Tynan of Los Angeles, first vice-president; P. Dineen of Vailejo, second vice-president; E. J. Murphy of Oakland, third vice-president; Ed Sheahan of San Francisco, State secretary ; John Kenny, State treasurer. The tirst” ballot for president gave 51 votes to J. J. Donovan, 34 to Bernard Hig- ginsand 24to J. P. Digoan. On the sec- ond ballot Dignan’s name was dropped, j and Donovan got 53 votes and Higgins 46. The president-elect 13 a native of New York, 52 years of age. He keeps the Cotle restaurant on Howard street, between Tenth and Eleventh in San Francisco.

Asa mem- | ber of Friendship Lodge No. 129, U. 0. W., he has passed through all the chairs. When the result was announced there were loud calls for a speech. Mr. Dono- van made a happy response, and alluding to his age, which” had been urged against him, spoke of having been born too soon. He promised to give bis best efforts to ad- vance the order in this State, and made such a good impression that the assembled nliele;:ates sang, “He’s a Jolly Good Fel- ow.” _ An advisory board was elected, consist- ing of D. 8. McCarthy, Oakland; Thomas H. Carr, Nevada Oity; James Sex, £an Jose; M. Hickson, Los Angeles; M. J. Wrin, L. C. Lull, James Kenny, San Fran- cisco. The convention then adjourned until 9 o’clock to-morrow. Captain Ed L. Sheehan, the State secre- tary elected to-day, isa Native Son, be- longing to Pacific Parlor No.10. He has lived 1n San Francisco all his life. John Kenny, State treasurer, is a resi- dent of San Francisco, but a native of Ire- land. He is engaged in the wholesale liquor business. Fdward Tynan of Los Angeles, first vice- resident, has been connected with the Jnited States postal service in that city for eleven years. He has been a member of the order for t¥enty years and came to California from Chicago. The election of Donovan as State presi- dent is not regarded as a victory for the younger element of the convention, yef thereis no ill feeling growing out of his election. Within twenty minutes after Anclent Order of Hibernians. criminals and drunks and crazy folks, | but this is my first place caring for a baby, and I need a day or two to learn the The McGlincy family was always a happy and singularly united one until Dun- ham made his unfortunate entry into it. Mrs. Wells had been a school teacher, was well educated and her children loved and trusted her. She gave them an excellent education. With her husband, Wells, she came here in 1867 and they bought their pluce near the Willows when land was very cheap. Wells was a soldier and they came here for his haalth. He seemed to get better for a time, but died in 1886 or thereabouts. McGlincy was on the estate at the time of Wells’ death or came some- what later. He also was a soldier, had served in a cavalry regiment of the Confederate army, and was wounded. He was present at the surrender of General Lee. Mrs. Wells’ marriage to McGlincy does not seem to have marred the relationship of mother and children, as the latter soon looked to him as their father. Mrs. Mc- Glincy remained as the head of the family. Shewas a practical, level-headed woman, and an excellent manager. farm, but he manifested little talent for di- recting affairs, and so she continued todo so0. The children had such trust ia her that they made no motion to secure their separate - portions in the property after their fatber’s death. When Dunbam wiped out this entire family he no doubt knew that his wife haa been practically left ont of her mother’s will, and so he made the way clear for his son by that wife to inherit the entire property owned by the people he hated. HELD IN WEAVERVILLE JAIL. Vinton, Haydon, Gregory and Radcliffe Must Answer for the Death of “Jack " Littlefield. WEAVERVILLE, Car., June 2.—The preliminary examination of John M. Vin- ton, Thomas Haydon, Jo Gregory d Fred Radcliffe, charged with complicity in the murder of ‘‘Jack” Littlefield, in Round Valley, on September 29 last, closed this morning. The defense offered no tes- timony, and moved that the defendants be aischarged on the ground that the evi- dence was insufficient to warrant holding them over. The motion was denied, and Justice Philbrook held the defendants for trial before the Superior Court without ‘t]znixl. Their trials will probably be held in uly. RS S S Treatise on Election Law. SACRAMENTO, CAL, June 2.—The | new treatise on the elettion laws of the State of California, as compiled by Secre- tary of State L. H. Brown, and issued in pamphlet form, is a remarkably concise and complete work. In addition to the laws governing primaries and elections Mr. Brown has included article 1T of the constitution, treating of the rights of suffrage; forms of poll lists; all the sec- tions of the Penal Code treating on crimes against the election franchise; the act to romote the purity of elections, as passed by the Legislature of 1893; the sections of civil procedure on contests of elections, and 'nll proposed constitntional amend- ments. i gl wei Failure at Seattle, SEATTLE, Wasn., June 2.—L.

The delegates were re-enforced to-day by many new arrivals. Fully 200 delegates attended the forenoon session, and the number was still further increased at 2 o’clock, the hour appointed for the elec- tion of State officers. Among the dele- gates who arrived in the forenoon were: n Francisco—John C. Ryan, president; Rev. Father O'Connell, chaplain; J. F. McDonald, vice-president; Owen Kerrigan, recording secretary; M. P.

Me- k. on No. 20, San Francisco—J. A. Brien, Division No. ¢ . 1, Santa Cruz—Michael Curry. P. J. Wanmosex, county delegate, San Fran- cisco. The proceedings to-day began with ora- | tory. At the afternoon session there were great oratorical flights. The banquet to- night was the apotheosis of oratory. It was observed this morning that the very atmosphere seemed to be surcharged with eloguence, and the phenomenon could not be explained until the arrival of Colonel J.J. 0'Byrne from San Francisco. He spoke at the morning session and received ova- tions and applause long continued. The minutes of the order recorded the speech as long and patriotic. He peered into the future and saw what the ancient order was likely to accomplish under its new birth. It would bring great blessings to this country and to the old country. It would make better citizens of the young men by reason of their observance of re- ligious duties. Rev. Father McNally of Oakland aroused enthusiasm by an address in which he enjoined upon the older mem- bers to entertain no jealousy or harsh feel- ing toward the young. The old should give place to the young. As the years go on the older members would pass away, and unless a reserve force was established the order would dwindle. The only re- serve force was the young men, hence the old members should 1induce their sons and others to join. “*What was more admirable than a young man filling the chair of president?”’ the speaker asked, ‘He possessed vigor,en- ergy and courage to conduct the work. If there should be found any dead weights in the order, who persisted in showing jealousy of the young men and opposition to vigorous conductof the order, the dele- gates should go right down the line and cut off such weights.” These sentiments created great enthusi- asm, It should be understood that the issue in the convention, or the subject that demands the greatest attention, is the de- termination expressed that the older mem- bers shall no longer monopolize the honors of serving in the leading stations. The amendments to State and district by-laws, discussed so fully in committee of the whole yesterday, were finally adopted to-day. The four ficleglul repre- senting Los Angeles County have been active from the start in their fight for re- organization. Edward Tynan and Judge Rynan, effective speakers, commanded the attention of the convention. The order as reorganized will have as new or additional officers a State chaplain to act as lecturer, three State vice-presi dents and an advisory board of seven directors. Still further conforming to the modern methoas of managing large so- cieties and benevolent institutions the theresult was announced perfect harmony prevailed. . The committee on finance and the andit- ing committee have been diligently at work to-day preparing a report on finan- cial matters during the past two years, It was supposed that the repsrt would be ready for presentation to-day, but the great length of time occupied in election of officers and the adjournment to make way for the banquet to-night crowded this business, together with the report of the committee on resolutions and the pr dent’s annual report, over until to-mor- | row. Delegates who are familiar with the | financial affairs of the order say that| everything in this regard is clear and ac- curate., The resolutions, which are anticipated with more than passing interest, wiil ex- press the determination of the order to | begin immediate work in the recruiting | line. Itis said that the membership in San Francisco may be increased to 25,000, and in Los Angeles and other places in Soathern California to 10,000. - AT THE BANQUET BOARD. Hibernians Enjoy Themselves as Erin’s !Sons Can. SAN JOGE, CaL., June 2.—The banquet this eyening was a compliment bestowed by the county board of directors, repre- senting the three divisions of the order in Santa Clara County. The beautiful deco- rations of the Y. M. L, ball were enhanced by the addition of more flags and stream- ers. Four tables extending the full length of the hall were spread with inviting viands, of which 200 guests partook. Among the guests at the banquet board were Father Crowley, State chaplain; Father Maguire, Father Connelly, J. J. Donovan of San Francisco; President Ber- nara S. Higgins, San Jose, past president; Edward Tynan of Los Angeles, first vice- president; Ed 1. Sheehan of San Fran- cisco, State secretary; P. Deneen o! Va- llejo, second vice-pr of Oakland, third vice-president; John Kenny of San Francisco, State treasurer; D. 8. McCarthy of Oakland, Thomas H. Carn of Nevada City, James P. Sex of San Jose, Christopher Hickson of Los An- geles, M. J. Wrin, L. C. Cull and James Kenny, of San Francisco, the last-named seven being the new members of the State advisory board. Judge Ryan of Los An- geles, Colonel J. J. Byrne of San Fran- cisco and William Bowdin and James Mc- Kagney of San Jose occupied places of aistinction at the feast. The balance of the party included the delecates to the convention. At 10 o'clock the guests were seated. William Bowdin invited Father Crowley to invoke divine grace. The speech-making was preluded by & brief but well-phrased adSress by Past President Bernard S. Higgins, introducing William Bowdin of San Jose as master of ceremonies. Mr. Bowdin referred to the large number of representative citizens present. The feeling displayed, he said, disposed of the idea that Irishmen could not dwell together in harmony. In a playful sense the toastmaster invited brogue and blarney. Speaking of the Irish, he said the only sins laid at the door of Ireland were taose of fidelity and devotion to her homes. By wisdom she was lifting the bonas of op- pression. The spirit which animated the Only NEW TO-DAY. —1896— HARTEORD BICYCLES. REDUCTION IN PRICE.

Mr. Higgins made | a brief and happy response, extending ! again the welcome of San Jose to the Hi- | bernians. 2 { The next speaker, Captain Crowley, | spoke to the sentiment, *‘The Church and the Order.” He began by relating a little incident of twenty years ago on the Isth- mus of Panama. When surprise was ihen expressed at seeing an Irishman in a place s0 hot as Panama, the son of Erin who was living there remarked: “Why, I sup- ose there are Irish in hades.” "The de- uction was that Irish landlords were meant. Mr. Crowley was not certain whetber he was to speak on the influence of the chureh on the order or the influence of the order on the church. He made joking allusions to the silence of members talka- tive during the conventions; of the pug- nacity of usually placid members and the ; brevity of Condin. The intluence of the | church on the Ancient Order oi Hiber- nians was to produce quiet. [Langhter.] The society, like the eagle, had always manifested a disposition to soar, and the soaring was now about to begin. 1n clos- ing, he proposed the health of the oldest society in the church—a society which possessed the vigor of youth with the wis- dom of age. J. J. Donovan was asked to say what he would do if he got to purgatory. He hoped the audience would not expecta brilliant after-dinner speech, when there were only two really gifted speakers of this 1 kind in the United States. The State secretary, Captain Ed J. Sheehan, was called out by the toastmas- ter. He spoke to the sentiment of “‘Our Country.” He said the country of an Irishman was where his home was. Irish- men had a right to call this country their country, for they had settled in Virginia before “the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. ‘The money which carried on the Revo- lutionary War was put up by Irishmen— merchants of Philadelphia. [Great ap- plause.] Mention of General Shield's gal- | lant record in the Mexican War called out great applause.

WOODLAND, CaL., June 2.—The Demo- cratic County Convention met in this city this afternoon, with eighty-six delegates present. E. C. Rust of Winters was unan- imously chosen chairman ana P.T. Lauge- nour of Dunnigan secretary. The platform reaffirms the confidence of the Yolo County Democracy in the prin- ciples of the party. It recognizes the public school system as the only reliance for popular education and declares against any movement to inject sectarianism in the course of study. One plank in the platform declares against any laws respect- ing religion or prohibiting the free exer- cise thereof, and proclaims that whenever any man or class of men attempt to de- prive a citizen of the United States of the right to worship God according to the dic- tates of his own consciencs they stand in hostility to the constitution. The admin- | istration of Governor Budd is heartily in- | dorsed and also that of President Cleve- | land, with the exception that his financial | policy is neither commended nor con- | demned. On the financial question the platform practically declares for “sound” money and insists that the purchasing power of silver be maintained. Ed E. Leake, Byron Bali, C. E. Devilbiss and Charles Laugenour were elected dele- gates-at-large. C. A Newton, 8. T. Mont- for A. Nurse were elected by the various dis- tricts. The sentiment of the delegates seems to be a:ainst the admission of Buckley’s candidates to the State Conven- tion.
