14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JUNE 8, 1896 MURDER, SUICIDE, MYSTERY DARKENED THE SABBATH DAY. KILLED AN EDITOR AND HERSELF, John Hay of the Journal of J Commerce Shot by a Woman. SHE WAS MRS.M'DOUGALL Sent a Bullet Through Her Lov- er’s Heart and Perforated Her Own. SHE DREADED DESERTION. Fearful Double Tragedy in a Mec- Allister-Street Lodging-House at a Late Hour. John Hay, assistant editor of the Jour- pal of Commerce, was shot and fatally wounded by Mrs. R. H. McDougall in a lodging-house at 330 McAllister street last evening at 11:15 o'clock. The murderess then sent a bullet ‘through her heart and | fell dead beside her rapidly dying victim. It is presumed that & love affair was the cause of the shooting. Hay, before be- coming” unconscious, substantiated this presumption by stzting that he was about to leave the woman and. that she became angered and shot him as he layin bed. She had then turned her weapon upon herself. 3 ? The two shots fired in rapid succession attracted the attention of Frank More- house, who lodges in the lodging-house in which the tragedy occurred. He rushed downstairs and notified Officer Hoster, and they returned to the room together. When they entered the fall significance of the shocking tragedy dawned upon them. Mrs. McDougall was lying on the floor, her eyes wide open and staring straight up at the ceiling. The blood was gushing from a wound in Irer left breast, where the bullet had entered. The wounded man lay groaning on the bed, his nightdress and the bedclothes smoldering, having caught fire from the flash of the revolver. Word was sent to the Cextrsl nolice sta- tion, and Hay was taken to the Receiving Hospital. Coroner Hawkins was then no- tified and the hody of the suicide was re- moved to the Morgue. When Hay was placed on the operating table at the hospital it was seen that the bullet had passed clear through his body. 1t entered about an inch to the right of the left nipple and ranged slightly down- ward, making its exit betweea the fifth and sixth ribs. Although suffering excruciating pain, Hay between his dying gasps told the story of his meeting and tragic parting | with the woman who had shot him and then taken her own life. “I met the woman about three weeks ago,” he said, “‘and she appeared to take an immediate fancy to me. ““I'hree days ago I procured aroom in Mrs. Guinn’s lodging-house on McAliister | street, and took Mrs. McDougall there. “To-day I decided to leave her, and after | retiring for the night informed her as to my intection. She was slowly disrobing at the time, and finally said: *“ ‘So vou are going to quit me, are you?’ I answered her in the affirmative, and she shouted out: ‘If you are going to quit me, | then I will fix you.’ “At this remark I turned over in bed | and she drew the revolver, placed it | against my breast and fired. 1 heard a | second report and the dull sound as her | body struck the floor. That is all Ire-| membered until I partly revived in the | hospital.” Mrs. McDougall is the wife of R. H. Mec- Dougall, a Chicago commercial traveler, who is now in Texas on business. She came to this City about four months ago | from Portland, Or., in which city she | | How the Little Ones and on meeting Hay went to live with him, which resulted in the tragedy. John Hay, the fatally wounded mau, as before stated, was the assistant editor of the Journal of Commerce. Before taking that position he was com- mercial editor of the Evening Post, and prior to that time had been a reporter on one of the morning dailies. He wasal- ways a steady, industrions newspaper man. He resided at 1507 Jackson street. The nightclerk at the Russ House stated last night that Mrs. MacDougall called bhim up on the telephone about 10:15 o'clock and inquired if any mail was there for her. There was & calling card left there be- fore he came on duty at9 o'clock. On it was written, “Did you write?”’ This was signed A. Allport. “Mrs. when she asked for the mail,” said the clerk, “and asked me if the name on the card was spelled ‘Allport.” She did not stop here regularly, but we believed she stayed some of the time with friends. She seldom slept here, in fact. 1 never saw anybody with her here. She received no visitors in her room.” Mrs. MacDougall bad been at the Russ Honse since May 11. She registered from Portland, Or., as Mrs. R. H. McDougall. She occupied room 87 in the hotel. The room was thoroughly searcned last night, but nothing that would throw any light on her action could be found. On the bureau were the picture of a middle-aged man and a little baby girl about three or four years of age. On the back of the latter photograph was written, “‘Cassey sweetheart.” No letters were found in the room, al- though in a box on the bureau was a scrap of paper on which was written, a lugu- brious poem, the subject of which evi- { dently bore on death. The woman years ago Wwas well known to the theatrical profession, being at that time a member of the McKee Rankin Company. She also pretended to be a detective in the United States Secret Service Department. STABBED THREE TIMES, James Crowley Uses a Penknife Upon John Kane in a Fight. Ending of a Tug-of-War Between Two Boy Teams at Buchanan and Union Streets. There was a tug-of-war between two teams of boys in a small hall Saturday night on Buchanan and Union streets. James Crowley of 1817 Greenwich street was captain of one team, and John Kane of Chesinut and Franklin streets captain of the other. Crowley is i7 years of age and Kane 21, The tug ended with a dispute, and Kane and Crowley came to blows. The owner of the hall interfered and compelled the crowd to vacate. As soon as they got outside prepara- tions were made to resume the fight. Crowley had got the worst of it in the hall, as Kane was the older and stronger of the two, and as they faced each other on the street Crowley jumped at Kane and stabbed him three times with a penknife. Kane yelled “I am stabbed!” and Crow- ley disappeared. ane was taken home and a physician was summoned. Two of the wounds were tound to be slight, but the third, which was in the chest, was considered serious. It will be a day or two, however, before it can be definitely ascertained how serious it will be. The police were notified yesterday morn- ing, and Crowley was arrested at his fath- er’s residence and charged with assault to commit murder. Crowley’s nose bore evidence of the fight. It was swollen to twice its natural size; and a cut extended across ‘t. *“When we got outside,” said Crowley, “the other fellows jumped upon me and ot me down and kicked me. I had my tnife in my band paring my nails, and suppose Kane got cut with 1t, but I had no intention of injuring bim."” THE CHILDREN’S MITES. of West Side Christian Church Observed the Foreign Mission Day.

Doubt Raised as to the Cause of Mayne Wor- rall's Death. POISON IN HER STOMACH Startling Discovery by Dr. Philip Nathan, the Autopsy Physician, SME WAS ALWAYS CHEERFUL. No Reason for Self-Destruction Can Be Unearthed, for She Had All to Live For. Dr. Phiip W. Nathan, acting City autopsy physician in place of Dr. Barrett, says that the demise of Miss Mayne Wor- rall, the pretty young English lady who others and expressed himself as being well pleased with his first ride over the Valley road. He said thatonly in a few places had the roadbed settled in consequence of the late rains. f They had expected a settling in some places and were satisfied that the bed hn_d been so well Jaid. The worst place was in the adobe lands a little out of Stockton, where the track must be ballasted with sand and crushed rock. In fact, after the natural settling process is atan ?nd, th.e entire valley will be pallasted with this material, which will prevent the flying of dust. Mr. Spreckelssaid that while no at- tempt was made to attain any great speed, the train jn several places slid over the rails at a rate of thirty miles an hour. He was pleased with the reception along the line and said that the people were rejoic- ing over the prospects of early and easy communication with the outside world. It will be August before the road will be really opened for business to Fresno, to which city the party proceeded after leav- ing Merced. 5 At that place a numbeér of prominent citizens of the county met the railroad people and discussed the proposition of extending the line south of Fresno this year. Upon this subject Director Spreckels stated that the company bad all the materials ready to build the road into Bakersfield, but trouble with the land- owners, over whose property the line is to pass, was not anticipated. He said: It does not matter to us whether we go by the way of Hanford or by Visalia. It remains with the people thers to fix that question. We will not start on either line until the citizens give us the deeds to the land over which we are to pass. There must not be any after annoyance by some land-owner coming in at the last moment and clgiming damages to his land. It is not pleasant to pay exor- bitant prices for such privileges. and it causes much delay end trouble to SI&rt conaemna- tion suits. Whichever route we take the right of way must be free. Mr. Spreckels states that the distance is something like 100 mles, and the two has been deepened by the statement of DID SHE TAKE POISON? The mystery of the death of Miss Mayne Worrall—rich, pretty and talented— Dr. Nathan that her demise was caused by poison. The full autopsy has not been completed. died at the Palace Hotel Saturday after- noon, was the result of the administration of some non-corrosive poison. It was re- ported by Dr. J. D. Whitney, who was present at the time of her death, that heart failure caused her taking off. Dr. Nathan, when seen at his residence, 927 Geary street, last evening, said: “She did not die from heart trouble, but from poisoning. At present I am unable to state what the poison was. I do know, however, that it was not corrosive. Ihave removed the stomach from the body and find some fluid matter there, which will be submitted to a chemist for analysis. When this is done the nature of the poison will be ascertained.” “Then you are certain that poison was the airect cause of death ?” was asked. “Yes; I am certain that she died from poison of some kind. She did not die from heart failure, as I have already stated. will make my report to the Céroner to- morrow."” This conclusion on the part of Dr. Na- than throws a mystery over the young lady’s death and the motive which caused it. She had plenty of means; her letters of credit on the banks were more than sufficient to take her to her home in Lon- don, and her jewelry alone was estimated to be worth $2500. It does not seem possible, under the cir- cumstances, that the young lady could have committed suicide. From all ac- counts she. was particularly cheerful dur- ing her voyage from Australia on.the Ala- meda. A pumber of the cabin passengers say n fact that she was the life of the party on board. Then just before her death she rang for a bell-boy, and telling him she felt very ill asked him to send for a doctor, which action would hardly bear out a suicide theory. Her death then, if Dr. Nathan is right in his poison theory, was either a murder or caused by her accidentally taking an over- dose of some drug to relieve a state of dis- tress in which she suddenly found herself. There is a rumor, however, that a sweet- heart in England became violently in- sane before her departure, but as this was some time ago it is hardly likely that that fact could have caused Miss Worrall to take her own life. The body has been embalmed and is at present at Porter & Co’s. establishment on Eddy street. The deceased was a frail, small-sized woman, weighing only about 110 pounds. Her body was placed in a receiver at the undertaker’s, and the only tribute of friendship and sisterly feeling evidenced for her was a bunch of lilies sent by Miss Rehan from the Palace Hotel. VALLEY RAILWAY ROUTES Directors Discuss the Proposed Rights-of-Way South of Fresno. Fewer Obstacles in the Visalia Di. rection—A Run Over the New Road. The directors and other officials of the Ban Joaquin Valley Railroad, who went over the new rosd Friday, are back in town and greatly pleased with their trip of inspection and conference with the land- owners along the route. The party con- sisted of Vice-President R. H. Watt, Di- rectors Thomas Magee, J. D. Spreckels, Captain A. H. Payson, Traffic Manager Moss, Chiet Engineer Storey and Superin- tendent of Construction J. A. Mc¥arland. J. D. Spreckels returned ahead of the I prospective routes are about fifteen miles apart. Chief Engineer Storey, who went on to Reedley, reiurned yesterday. Judging from his remarks there are fewer obstacles in the way on the Visalia route. The Hanford committees & year ago did not | meet with the success they desired, and for a time some believed that this route was practically abandoned. Those on the Visalia side seem to obtain better results. Mr. Smre{ said that the object of the trip south of Fresno was to get the several committees to work together and arrange matters so the injury to those over whose lands the road is to pass would be shared by their neighbors, who would be equally benefited and not damaged by the road cutting their lands in two. Three meet- ings were held with the committees. One was near Fresno, the second at the Del | Rio Rey vineyard, and the third at Reed- ley. In each place the committees as- sured the railroad’ people of all the.assist- ance in their power, and expressea the be- Lef that the rights of way would be ob- tained before long. WILL FORECAST FLOODS, River Gauges Are to Be Placed in the San Joaquin Valley. Protection for Farmers Living Along the Banks of the Southern Rivers. To-day Local Forecast Official McAdie will leave for the southern part of the State to perfect the flood forecast system in the San Joaquin Valley. He will be absent at least a week and have river gauges placed on the Calaveras at San Andreas, Calaveras County; on the Tu- olumne at Waterford, Stanislaus County, and at Newman, Stanislaus County. “The system is comparatively perfect in the Sacramento River Valley,” said Mr. Hammon yesterday, “but nothing as yet has been done in the San Joaquin. By the means of the river ganges we will be enabled to forecast with reasonable accu- racy the time and height of floous along all the rivers of the southern valley. Of course this will be of great value to farm- ers. Reports hereafter will be obtained from points south as well as north. . “The flood system is very perfect in the Mississippi Valley, and has saved im- mense amounts of money. In the past there has been no forecast whatever of high water in the San Joaquin. Mr. Mc- Adie will esiablish these stations there, and experiments will be made with them for determining the rainfall, the tempera- ture ana the melting of the snow. “In the East this system, as I said be- fore, has been reduced*down to a nicety, but here it is yet experimental. There the rivers flow through a country of uniform character, bui here there exisis such marked changes that the task of figuring to an absolute surety is quite difficult. The changes here from high to low water are exceedingly rapid. These stations will greatly facilitate matters and will protect m{mydl, crop that without them would be ruined. —————————— Fire in a Cigar Store. The Fire Department was called out this morning at 10 sminutes past 12 o’clock to ex- j tinguish a fire in a cigar store belonging to See Yeen & Co. at 8 Waverlev place. The timely arrival of the firemen saved the old rookery from destruction. The damage done to the cigars principally lies in their being permeated with smoke, which will no doubt add to their flavor. ————— Drove Over a Boy. - Jacob Resenberg, a boy 8 years of age, resid- ing with his parents at 1053 Folsom street, was knocked down h{'- wagon on Sixth street last night and had nis ihigh broken.

She Poisons ‘Herself in the Presence of Joe Elliott, Her Lover. ANOTHER WOMAN THE CAUSE. The Dead Weman Was Deserted by Her Husband About Six Months Ago. Mrs. Lillie Swanson, a pretty woman, 22 years of age, committed suicide through jealousy, at her home, 873 Folsom street, last night. She was married by contract when only 16 years of age. Sheand her husband lived happily together for a few vears, but he bezan to neglect her, and six months ago went to Cripple Creek, Colo., leaving her almost destitute, with a daughter 4 years of age to support. Friends came to her assistance and she opened a lodging-house at 873 Folsom street. One of her lodgers was Joe Elliott, a young man, and she fell desperately in love with him. Their relations were familiar, and she became excessively jealous of him and a young woman whom he knew before he went to live in Mrs. Swanson’s house. Mrs. Swanson and Elliott spent the most of yesterday afternoon together. About 6 o’clock last night, as he left the house, the rival young woman was passing on the opposite side of the street. Elliott crossed over and stood talking to her. Mrs. Swanson saw them from the win- dow and she made signs to Elliott to leave the young woman. He only smiled back at her and continued his conversation. This seemed to madden Mrs. Swanson and she threw open the window. She un- corked a small bottle, that she held aloft so that Eiliott could see it, and swallowed the contents. With a shriek she fell back, and Elliott, amazed at her action, rushed across the street and upstairs to the room where Mrs. Swanson was. He found her stretched on the floor writhing and shrieking in her agony. The small bottle, which was lying empty be- side her, told the tale. It was labeled “carbolic acid.” Eliiott ran to the Southern police station snd notified the officer on duty of the occurrence. The patrol wagon was sent to the house and Mrs. Swanson was driven to the Receiving Hospital. Dr. Rinne did everything possible for her, but she died two hours later. Her body was taken to the Morgue. Elliott accompanied the wagon to the hospital and remained until she breathed her last. He was grief-stricken and wept bitterly as he watched her in her agony. “She didn’t Iike the young woman,” he moaned, “but I never thought it would drive her to this. If I had only known how much she disliked my speaking to her I wculd have been more careful.”” Mrs. Swanson’s mother lives at 873 Fol- som street, and she will look after her little granddaughter. A letter was found in Mrs. Swanson’s room. It was as follows: Dear Mamma: Everything I have belongs to you, mamma. Alll ask of you is to take good care of Hazel and never give her to her father. Write and tell him all and tell him I will die before I go wrong. Give my clothes to Jenny and my ring to Hazel. Mamma, when I am dead and gone yon will not think I am the worst after all. LILLIE. LILLIE WAGNER. DESTINY OF RACES. Rev. William Rader Says They Will Unite Under One Flag in Future Years. Reyv. William Rader preached last night in the Third Congregational Church on “‘The Stranger and Our Gate.” He said: “The influx of foreigners has colored our American life. The names of our largest cities are foreign born. 8an Francisco has over 15,000 Italians and more than 20,000 Chinese. More tongues are spoken on Market street than were spoken in Jerusd- lem on the day of Pentecost. “The stranger is here because of certain 01d Worid conditions and New World at- tractions. Political and social discontent in Eurove bas crowded the steerage in our steamers. The Italian comes to escape the taxcollector, who exacts 31 per cent of his earnings. He prefers to be a scavenger in San Francisco than a slave in Italy. The tendency of the political world is from the King to the people, from despotism to deniocracy. “Matthew Arnold declared our form of Government to be the Government for all the people and there is significance in the prediction that Gladstone’s death will mean the breaking up of English politics. The revolution of the future wifi be in Hurope not America. Russia’s coronation is a great soap-bubble,which in God’s own time wiil lose the splendor of its color. “The New World attracts. Our vast domain is full of magical fountains to the home and old seeler. “The lands in which no pick has struck and the forests in which no ax has rung are in contrast with the crowded cities, Immigration will be a National danger, while we have a monopoly of land. fize must teach the foreigner the use of the ballot-box, the dignity and price ot our ipstitutions and the meaning of the Ameri- can spirit. “In the years to come the world’s races will stand under.one flag in international wedlock and may be have the patriotism to say ‘What God hath joined together let no man put asunder.’ *’ e ——— A Brave Officer’s Answor. During Napoleon’s campaign in Russia a young officer was very successiul in de- feating with a handful of men a large body of Cossacks who had been skirmish- ing along the iine for some days doing considerable damage. The officer risked his life in a daring deed of bravery, and Napoleon, hearixng of it, sent for him and praised him, “*Sire,” said the officer, I am happy for vour praise, but the Cross of the Legion of Honor would make me happier.”’ *‘But you are very young,” said Na- poleon. “Bire,”” answered the brave officer, ‘‘we do not live long in your regiments.” * NOVELTY BLACK GOODS!
