THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1896 5 AGUA CALIENTE'S SHAM EXECUTION. Ex-Picket William Long Suffers a Temporary Transition. DEATH IN AWFUL FORM. Held Before a Cannon’s Mouth as It Belches Fire and Waste Paper. NOBLE ATTEMPT AT RESCUE. Partisans of the Prisoner Vainly Draw Their Sabers in His Defense. Caxr MoONTGOMERY, LEeAcUE oF THE Cross CADETS, AGUA CALIENTE, CAL., July 10. About four hours after the red sun had sunk out of sight behind the great hills and the golden halo that spreads fan-like up from the horizon had changed into night, Private Willie Long, having tired of wandering, came back into camp. last night. It was then too Iate for his mock execution at tne cannon’s meouth, as ordered by the court-martial, for having accidentally stabbed Cook Al Mattison in the forehead with a saber; and besides, the festivities of the evening were at their height. Attractive as executing a man may be to the cadet, the charms of a cool and social evening with the Iadies on a dancing platform are greater, and Willie was allowed to turn in and sleep peace- fully until this mornine’s reveille. The farce of the execution of Long was carried out to-ni:ht. A large crowd of spectators from the ranches and small towns was present. Long bore up bravely and asked for something extra for supper. He ate oyster soup, kindly prepared by Al Mattison, the cook, for the alleged at- tempted murder of whom he was found guilty by the court-martial, and sentenced t0 death before the cannon mouth. The prisoner was attired in white trous- ers, white shirt and white hat. His hands were tied behind his back with a white handkerchief. He was then placed in the center of a squad of cadets, under com- mand of Captain Drady, and all took their position on the dancing platform. A drum corps with muffied drums stood at one side. Vhen all was in readiness a dirge was played on the organ. Dr. A. P. Muliigan joined in with a violin accompa- niment, and the solemn march to the exe- cution ground was begun. The squad marched first round the plat- form and then proceeded down the inain avenue of the tents to the field, the pris- oner being in the center, cuolly smoking a cigar which had been presented to him by Rev. Father Yorke. The hospital corps, bearing a white stretcher to carry the body, brought up the rear. At tbe lower end of the avenue the frowning mouth of a cannon about eight inches long could be seen by those who had spyglasses. Others were told where it was. Prisoner William Long was told to step from the ranks. He stepped forward as brave as a Spartan and with a defiant air. Death had no terrors for him, his whole bearing evidenced. The prisoner was led over to a long box, on which he seated himself, and he was then blindfolded. The box was supposed to do duty as a coffin, He sat facing the cannon. A hush fell on the spectators. The people looked on with bated breath. At that critical moment Rev. Father Adj. MIDDLETON. Capt. JOHNSON. Capt. DUMBRELL, Capt. CUNNINGHAM. Major TILDEN. Capt. MILLER, Capt. BRUCE. Capt. FILMER.

LOS ANGELES, OArn., July 19.—In the waters of Echo Lake Marmaduke P. Hiland sought surcease from the evils of an uncontrollable appetite for liquor this morning. After he had taken the first leap, the suicide, appalled at the coming of death, cried out and atiempted to regain the shore. Before assistauce could reach him he had gone down for the last time, and the would-be rescuers towed a corpse to the shore. On the bank was Hiland’s coat, hat and cane. With them was found the following note, addressed to his wife, written on the back of a large yellow envelope: Dear Anna: 1 expected this would end fit, but I could not help it. All I have is yours. Kiss baby for me. Oh, how Ilove her. The suicide was a son-in-law of John Charter, a wealthy resident of this city. He was 34 years of age. His act widows an excellent woman and leaves four beau- tiful children, the.eldest 16 and the youpg- est 2 years of age, without a father. Hi- 1and and Miss Charter were married when quite young, and for many years they re- sided at Duarte. About three years ago the husband took to liquor, which set his wife’s purents against him. He was finally induced to take the Keeler cure, and for eight months he lived uprightly. He then moved into Los Angeles and took a special agency for several insurance com panies. Everything went well for some time, when in an unguarded moment he yielded to the old tempter, Drink caused him to lose his position. He became despondent and resolved to put an end to his existence, believing that if he was out of the way his father-in-law would look after his widow and children, The body was brought to an under- taker’s, where an inguest was held, a ver- dict of drowning with suicidal intent being rendered. ‘When Coroner Campbell brought the grif-stricken widow into the room where the body lay the poor woman threw her arms about the silent form, and with streaming eyes showered kissesupon the lips. Ap ing to the dead she exclaimed again and again: “Oh, my darling husband, why aid you not wait for me.”’ =g wiend ORANGE-GROWERS MEET. Arrange to Co-Operate in the Marketing of Citrus Fruits, LOS ANGELES, Can., July 10.—The orange-growers of Southern California met in special session in the Chamber of Com- A Scene Under the Big Trees at Camp Montgomery. O'Ryan stepped forward and protested against the execution as invalid, claiming it should have taken place last night at the time set for it by the court-martial. The objection was overrufed. A voice in the crowd suddenly shouted, ‘“Advance, vanguards!” A rescuing party of cadets with drawn sabers rushed forward through the crowd. -‘Draw,” shouted the captain of the regu- lars, and the next instavot the rescuers and the regulars were engaged in mortal com- bat. bers clashed in the air and there were hoarse and desperate shouts, The prisoner was in the center. He was blindfolded, dragged hither and thither while the troops fought nocly on. Finally the rescuing party was vanquished, and the prisoner, with his_beautiful white fu- neral garments soiled by the struggle in the attempted rescue, was replaced on the box and again olindfolded. 2 ““Are you ready ?” asked the captain. es, sir,” from the soldier at the cannon. ¥ “Fire " There was a flash of flame, a thunderous report which echoed along the valley, and Willie Long was no more. He fell over on the box with his face to the sky as natur- ally as though it were a real execution. Dr. Mulligan, the camp physician, stepped forward, felt his pulse and cially pronounced him dead. Then a roll of drums was heard and the late Willie’s comrades of the League of the Cross Cadets began to moan out their grief and 0 apply their handkerchiefs. Ti.e hospital corps stepped forward, the body was placed on the stretcher, and, with beating drums and a sorrowful pro- cession, the march back to the platform under the spreading osk tree was in the deepening twilight. Once on the way back the body was spilled out of the stretcher. . There the friends of the late Willie passed in review before the remains to catcha last glimpse of his white Llindfolded face before he was allowed to return to life, o-morrow there will be specialdnlls and some field-day sports in honor of the members of the {oung Ladies’ Institute #nd other ladies who are expected to ar- xive. A large canopy has been stretched merce assembly-room this morning to dis- cuss the outlook of the citrus fruit crop and to form a permanent organization, that the growers may with co-operation obtain the best results in the. growing and marketing of their citrus fruits. W, H. Young of Duarte was made chairman and H. E. Cheesbora of Covina secretary. President Young announced the object of the meeting. He said co-operation was necessary for prosperous marketing. It was then found that the sense of the meeting was in favor of electing a commit- tee of three on order of business, and a committee of tive to dralt resolutions, Russell Hearth of Banta Barbara moved that a delegate from each of the southern counties be elected, which motion was adopted, and the following were chosen: A. M. Lynes of Santa Barbara, A, P. Griffith o{Azuu, Los Angeles County; 8. P. Key of Orange, E. W. Holmes of River- side and Penn Ro ers of San Bernardino. Resolutions strongly favoring co-opera- tion were adopted.

The Governor Visits the Quarters of the First Infantry. PRAISES THE TROOPS. Pleased With the Precision and Military Grace of Their Evolutions. . BLUECOATS ATTEND A DANCE. The Elite of Stockton Assembles at Agricultural Pavi'ion to Greet Its Guests. STOCKTON, CaL., July 10.—Governor Budd and staff accepted the invitation of Major Tilden of the First Infantry, N. G. !C., to attend a review this evening in honor of himself and staff at Camp Budd. By the noon train from Sacramento the Gov- ernor and Assistant Adjutant-General Peeler arrived and on the afternoon train from San Francisco came Colonels Chad- bourne, Fisher and Vail and Captain Car- rington of the regular army. Colonel Sperry of this city, also of the Governor's staff, assisted in the review, in which com- panies A and B of the Bixth Regiment also participated. A large crowd journeyed to the camp to witness the maneunvers. The men executed the evolutions with clogk-like precision and acquitted themselves creditably. The Governor was highly pleased with the work of the guardsmen and said so. He is deeply interested in the work of the National Guard and is ready to do any- thing he can for the benefit of the service: To-night the camp was, in 8 measure, deserted. The officers and men left their tents to attend the ball given in bonor of the visiting guardsmen by the officers of companies A and B, Sixth Regiment, sta- tioned at Stockton. The big hall of the Agricultural Pavilion was engaged, and a_merry throng danced to the music sup- plied by the Sixth Regiment band. - The swagger set of the city was in attendance. The visiting guardsmen will remain here two days longer, when they will break camp and return homeward. They have had a jolly time in Stockton, but the intense heat of the past four davs has somewhat marred the pleasure. They have made up for lost time in the cool evenings, and many a jolly party of blue- coats has been landed in the guardhouse for being out after nours. LIFE AT CAMFP WALKER. Soldiers of the Boys’ Brigade Enjoy Their Outing at Guerneville. GUERNEVILLE, Can, July 10.—In their cool retreat under the shade of the redwoods at Camp Walker in the old Bo- hemian grove the Second Regiment of the Boys’ Brigade is enjoying life. With roaming through the forest or swimming in the river after guard mount the young- sters are making the most of their sum- mer outing. However pleasant the days are the nights are quite cold, and a two-hour picket-post is not as pleasant and restful as the same period spent in the tent-bed. Conse- quently the small warriors “kick” like old soldiers when their guard detail comes around. Besides, the sentry beats are out- side of the camp, and the small sentry must walk close to the dark, thick brush that surrounds the clearing. In these gloomy shadows countless savage foes may be lurking, such as coyotes, wildcats, mink and weasles. Even the night owl, whose dreadful hooting he hears in the treetops above him, has a voice that terri- fies. He does not know that the grim bird is only protesting against this war- like invasion of his ‘“‘ancient, solitary reign.” Nor does he know that much of the coyote yelps and mink squeaks which he hears are frightfully poor imitations coming from the mouths of his comrades, who are generously sacrificing their u!eef; in their tents that he may not get lonesome on his post. Colonel Walker, the commander of the regiment, has not yet arrived nor has General J. H. Russell, the brigade com- mander. Yesterday Major A. W. Taylor, who had been on the sick list, relieved Captain B. L. Weymouth, who had been in command of the camp. Captain Wey- mouth 18 the regimental paymaster and doubtless it is owing to his efforts that the mess contains such good fare. A sutler's store in the camp sells at reasonable rates whatever in the way of eatables or drink- ables the juvenile troovers may desire. The religious services are conducted by Rev. Mr. Scudder of the First Congrega- tional Church of Alameda, and also Major Taylor. Under the grand old trees, with the wngregnion of young soldiers sitting on fallen logs, no divine service could be more impressive. It recalls the lime: ‘‘The groves were God's first e Woman's Auxili; Corps is under the command of Mrs, KZ“J«’; Jones of Alameda. Their tents occupy one-half of the camp in a pleasant locality near the river. Captain McNeill, who is a strict disciplinarian, advocated giving the younger portion of the auxiliaries post duty it some part of thecamp. The corps protested, stating tbat as mothers and teachers in the Sabbath schools they were ways on guard. The ladies, however, detailed themseives to make a blackberry raid ip the woods. They promised upon their return to become cooks, and bake Lieut. NIPPERT. Guard of California, Now in Stockton. regimer’ luring the camp. They knew right where (e berries wereand how large they were, and one young auxiliary said she had seen them crowing in her dreams. Bo they sallied forth, escorted out of th e camp by the officers of the guard, ang, guided by the dreamer, plunged into the forest. About sundown they came back rejoicing, benrinfi their plunder—a dozen and a half poor, little, miserable, blighted berries that a jaybird would seorn to notice. Paymaster Weymouth continues to pro- vide the pies. The camp will close next Tuesday. BAKERSFIELD CRACKSMEN, Unsuccessful Attempt to Gain Entrance to the County Treasurer's Vaults. BAKERSFIELD, Cavn, July 10.—~When the janitor opened the Court-house this morning he found that burglars iad en- tered the building during the night and made an unsuccessful attempt to force an entrance to the vault in the County Trea- surer’soffice. The burglars got in through a window opening off the front porch, the office being on the ground floor. The; broke off the knob of the door, and witl an ordinary breast drill bored three holes into the dial of the combination lock. 1wo were through the metal, but in the third the drill broke and was left in the hole. They also broke a second drill, the pieces being found on the floor. Many burned matches were strewn over the floo The vault door is old-fashioned, and had the burglars drilled through as they in- tended, they would have been able to break the lock and force an entrance. But even had they got through the out- side door, they could not have got at the $12,000 or $13,000 in the vault without cut- ting through another door, and then open- ing & modern burglar-proof safe in which coin was kept. The job was evidently the work of ama- teurs, as the tools with which it was done were stolen from a blacksmith shop yes- terday. TRAGEDY MflCHAMENH} Joseph Mitchell Murdered by a Lunatic Known as Whistling - Pete. The Madman Escapes From His Pur. suers — His Victim’s Mother Becomes a Maniac. SACRAMENTO, Car., July 10.—Joseph Mitchell, 28 years of age, was shot and killed this evening by a haif-crazed man who is known by the cognomen of “Whistling Pete,” at the corner of Twelfth and P streets. The assassin escaped, with the entire police force in pursuit. When last seen he was rushing at a mad speed through the Capital park, flourishing his revolver. Whistling Pete has resided in this city for years, and made a livelihood by doing odd jobs of gardening. He has always been considered harm- less, but could be thrown into a frenzy by whistling at him as he passed along the street. Several young men, including Joe Mitchell and his brother Ed, were sitting in front of a grocery-store this evening and Pete passed them. Ed Mitchell began whistling and in- stantly drew the attention of the man, who turned and scolded the crowd. Again some one whistled and the lunatic whirled, walked back to the crowd and with the words, “I'll stop this whistling,” drew a revolver and fired two shots. As Pete fired the second shot Joe Mitchell grappled with him in an attempt to disarm him. The lunatic placed the muzzle of the pistol against Mitchell's head and pulled the trigger, The bullet struck the jawbone ana ranged downward into the throat and the young man fell to the sidewalk a corpse. ‘Whistling Pete tuen fled up the street. Ed Mitchell ran into the grocery store and procured a revolver, intending to pursue his brother’s murderer and kill him, but he was overpowered and- disarmed, The murderer ran directly by the home of his victim, whose mother was standing at the gate. She called to him, and asked him what the trouble was, but he refused to answer and kept on running. A moment later she was informed of the death of her son. =She ran down to where the body lay across the sidewalk, and at sight of the corpse became, seemingly, a raving maniac. After a hard struggle she was overcome and conveyed to her home, where it took the united efforts of six men to retain her on a couch until the arrival of a physi- cian, who administered morphine until her struggles ceased. It is feared that her reason may be per- manently injured. =The affair nas created the greatest ex- citement. It is feared thatthe crazed man may kill others before he can be secured and disarmed. Whistling Pete is a tall, g rely built old man, weighing 145 pounds, with red hair and short, stubby sideburns ana chin whiskers, He is about 50 years of age. Races at Napa.

Quinn Has His Throat Cut. PRIVATE KELLY JAILED The Two Men Had Quarreled At an Early Hour in the Evening. KELLY'S RAZOR WAS TUSED. ‘When Arrested He Was in Bed, but His Hands Were Blood- Stained. Joseph E. Quinn, a private in Battary E, Fifth Artillery, was murdered last night at Fort Mason by a companion. James Kelly, a member of the same com- pany, is under arrest. No cause is known other than that Quinn and Kelly had a quar- rel early in the evening, which, however, was supposed by their friends to have been of no more than passing moment, and it was thought that the men had re- sumed their former friendly footing. The killing was of a rather remarkable character, Quinn’s head being almost severed from his shoulders by a razor cut, 8o far as known there was no witness to the affair, altbough a, private named Kampsmith, being arrested, laid the crime at once to Kelly. 2 The crime was committed atabout 11:15, when the men were responding to the “call to quarters.” At that time Kelly and Quinn were re- turning from a walk outside the immedi- ate grounds of the fort, They both slept in the same barracks but in different rooms. Something of a struggle was seen in front of the barracksand the circumstance was reported to the sergeant of the gunard by Private Mills. . When that officer got to the place he found Quinn prone upon the ground and in his death struggle, his throat cut and blood pouring from the woundin a stream. Post Surgeon G. W. Wells called and the body—for life was extinct—was carried into the hospital and laid apon the floor. Captain Vogdes was notified, and he made a rapid tour of the grounds and bar- racks. He encountered Private Kampsmith in the grounds and asked him what he was doing there at that time. Kampsmith replied that he was there *‘on pass.”” This being contrary to regunlations the captain ordered Kampsmith under arrest. In the guardhouse Kampsmith, without any question being asked, volunteered the statement that “Kelly did it.” “‘Leaving him there,” said the captain, last night, “I went to the battery office and confined Private Mills, who had been reported to me as having had a row with Quinn early in the evening. “The doctor and I then went back to the quarters and woke Private Kelly up, The doctor examined his hands and found them stained with bicod. “1 then confined Private Kelly and went to the piace of the murder, and found a hat helonfiinz to Quinn and a cap belong- ing to Kelly lying on the ground. “Kelly was reported to have had a razor in hi- pocket early in the evening, which could not now be found. “The doctor and 1 then searched and found a razor, which two witnesses testify as being Keilly’s, on the i‘round about forty feet from the place of the killing. “Private Quinn was never able to speak after being found.” The parties who identify the razor as being Corporal Collins, the latter having made K !IT;I present of it. Captain Vodges says there is no doubt in his mind that on their way to their quarters Kelly slipped up behind Quinn and drew the blade across his throat. fiuinn, the murdered man, bore an ex- cellent reputation. He was a good, steady soldier, something of an athlete, and was, therefore, in frequent small but semi-good- natured quarrels. He was born in Chicago, where he has relatives. Kelly is somewhat older. He refuses to talk about the matter. Being asked how his hands became bloody, he said he did not know. Kul{y was taken to the City Prison this morning by Officers Conley and Herring- ton. The Coroner brought the body to the Morgue and an inquest will be held this morning. A ‘When brought to the City Prison Kelly refused to discuss the murder and denied any knowledge of it. He said that ne had been drinking at “The Canteen” during the evening and got full. He went to his quarters and retired. The first he knew of any trouble having oc- carred, he declared, was when he was awakened and told that he had killed a man. Kelly is 29 years of age and a native of Ireland. He has been in the service two and a half years. THE MONTECTO MYSTERY Tracking Parties Scouring the Mountains in Quest of a Suspect. SANTA BARBARA, Can, July 10.— ‘With the two victims of the Montecito elly’s are Sergeant Smith and] g tragedy and Cyrus Barnard, the supposed murderer, all under ground, it might be supposed that the sensation 'which has so shaken Santa Barbara would subside and the city fall back into its accustomed ‘peace, but this 1s not the case. Sheriff’s deputies have to-day heen ply- ing bither and thither. One posse re- turned from the mountains after a two days’ stay, and it is understood that an- other is about to start out. All this holds much significance, but Sheriff Hicks keeps his own counsel, only saying in response to inquiries that he 1s not yet ready to dis- close the nature of the work that is being done. Out in Montecito & whisper is going abont which is probably wholily baseless, but suggests the awful possibilities that attend the hberty allowed a deranzed and irresponsible person. In a beautiful home about a quarter of a mile from the Richardson place, and with only one tiny cottage between, a dement- ed girl belonging to a noted Eastern fam- ily has long been living, surrounded by every comfori and attention, hgving been brought thither in the hope that a change of scene and climate might restore her lost reason. She has a large corps of trained attend- ants, one of whom volunteered I er services for the benefit of Mrs. Richardsén, as_she lay unconscious and near to death. This young lady has been growing sullen and violent of late and has frequently escaped from the custody of her attendants. She has often made her way to the house of neighbors, and women in the vicinity have grown nervous and apprehensive, having often seen her face pressed against their windows at night. Stie has broken into houses. and been found seated at sec- retaries and writing letters, an eccupation which seeins to be one of her manias. At4o'clock on Monday morning some musicians were returning from a Spanish dance at Montecito, when their horse shied violently at what appeared to be a human form lying beside a culvert on the left side of the road aund ata place com- manding a viéw ! of Ethel Richardson's lighted window. . This figure had no defined contour, and in their hasty glimpse of it resembled a woman's draperies; but they assumed that it was some drunken man and passed on. Itis the story of these musicians, and the knowledze of the young woman's violent whima, that has given rise to the horrible rumors connecting her name with those of murdered Mrs. Richardson and her daughter, Judge Hall, attorney for the late Mrs. Ricnardson, who recently drew up her will, arrived from the East last night, and Mr. Norton, her son-in-law, is daily ex- pected from Boston, having been sum- moned by telegraph., Acting under wired insiructions of Nor- ton and Mrs. Richardson’s brother, Mr. Lang of Vermont, Attorney C. A. Storke. accompanied by several oid and truste: friends of the family, made a search of the house yesterday, securing all papers that might be of value. These and the jewelry possessed by tne murdered women, aggregating some $600 in value, were .nlaced in the vault of the First National Bank, subject to the order of courts or heirs. soma LA RINCON VALLEY PHENOMENON, Two Residents Mtunned by a Bolt of Lightning. SANTA ROSA, Caw., July 10.—A stroke of lightning out of an almost clear sky to-day caused two residents of Rincon Valley to believe hat the end of the world was near. The storm, if such it could be called, was short but sharp, and consisted of one big black cloud, one terrific peal of thunder and a bolt of business-like light- ning. The lightning struck in the county road, about thirty feet from Richard Weather- ington, who was at work in a hay field. He was prostrated by the force of the shock, and remained insensible for some time, Mrs. J. Norris, who was driving by at'the time, was about forty yards from where the bolt struck, and though fully conscions of; Mr. Weatherington’s, plight, was unable fo go to nisassistance’for some time. They say the sensation of being struck by lightning is far from pleas- ant, Mrs. Norris describing it as a “tinghng in her limbs as thouzh her foot had been asleep,” The large jagged hole in the ground where the bolt struck is an object of great interest to many sightseers. In the year 1596 there were only four kinds of hyacinth, the single and the double blue, the purple and the violet. At | the present time there many thousands of | verieties.
