THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 1896. 11 STETSON 00K HIS OWN LIFE Coroner’s Jury Declares It a Case of Sui- cide. TEMPORARY INSANITY. Charles Hug Says His Friend Was Greatly Perturbed All Evening. HOW HE WAS GOING HOME. Miss Head Described the Manner in Which Stetson Fired the Shot, The death of Albert L. Stetson was officially inquired into by the Coroner vesterday. Charles Hug, the bosom friend of the deceased, told of his visit to the threw no light upon the case, as Etetson was dead when he arrived. In answer to a guemon of Juror Blank the doctor said from his examination of the wound he did not see how it could have been in- flicted by any one but the man himself. He said Stetson was suffering from an af- fection of the liver, which was at times very painful and would be apt to result in a depression of spirits. Frederick R. Webster, in whose rooms the tragedy occurred, appeared as a wit- ness, though he knew little of the affair. He said he had just arrived in San Fran- cisco Saturday, and had no personal knowledge of the killing. He b Stetson slightly and knew he was of Miss Head. In answer to a juror's question he stated that Stetson had not the entry to his rooms, though Miss Head had. He, however, would not have coun- tenanced her taking any gentleman to the rooms, Mrs. Summervale described the visit made by Stetson to the box which she and Miss Head were occupying at_the Or- heum. ‘:Aiter he left,” she said, “Miss ead said, ‘Look what I have,’ Ilooked and saw she had a pistol. I was very much frightened. After he left she said he bad invited usto the Columbia Cafe. { We went there and Miss Head laid the pistol on the table. Stetson ted to | take it and I said, ‘I have been noyed by that pistol all evening. Either put it up or take out whar isin it or I will leave.’ Istepped to the door and I heard a click, click, click. When I looked around I saw the cartridges on the table. Stetson said he had been drinking absinthe for a week.”” Frederick S. Samuels corroborated the | story told by Hug of the visit to the Orpheum. ; Grove P. Ayers testified to having gone tothe room where Stetson lay dead. In answer to & question he said he knew of no financial reason why Stetson should take his life, as he could have had all the money he needed and his affairs were all straight. % | 3. M. Quay, the first man whom Miss Miss Head Illmstrates the Manne: r in Which Stetson Shot Himself. Orpbeum with Stetson on the night of the tragedy, Mrs. Summervale told of her visit to the same resort with Miss Amy H#d, and the latter recounted the grew- some details of the fatal occurrence up to the very moment when the youngz man of the world placed & revolver to his head and remarking, “This is the way I will go home,” sent a ball crashing through his brain. Other witnesses of minor im- portanceé told their stories and then a jury of seven citizens retired to consider the | testimony. It was a conservative jury. This the-jurors showed all through the in- quest by their cautious questioning, but the testimony adduced all tended to one result, #nd after a deliberation of a little over. half an hcur a unanimons verdict was reached, as follows: S We find that Adbert L. Stetson, aged thirty years; nativity, California; occupation, rail- * road manager; single; idence, 1801 Van . Ness avetue, City and County of San Fran- ciseo; came to his death July 24, 1896, at 235 Post street, said City and County, from cere- bral hemorrhage from gunshot wound of skull, and we further find that sald gunshot woun was self-inflicted during temporery aberration of his mind. Dr: P, J: H. Farrell was the first witness examined. He was the ;bysicinn called to attend Stetzon immediately after the shooting. He testified that when he ar- rived the man was already unconscious, and although he gave him immediate at- tention the injured man died in about two hourk after his arrival. He was un- conscious from the time the doctor first - saw him. Dr. Farrell stated that he saw blood on one of Miss Head’s hands after he had been there some time. There was only a little coagulated blood about her finger-nailg, indicating that her hands had been washed since the blood got upon them. . 6 3 Coroner Hawkins asked the witness it he did not remember his calling at the scene of the killing on the morning of the occur- ence. The physician said bedid. *“Was not Miss Head in the house at that time?” .asked the Coroner. Dr. Farrell said- she was, but explainea that he told the Coroner she was not as he did not think she ought to be disturbed. Charles Hug told of his meeting th’h Stetson early on the evening of the ln,uer s death. He met Stetson about 5 o'clock and after having dinner Hug, Stetson and F. 8. Samuels wenttothe Orpheum. Stet- 50D seemed VEry Nervous. After they had been in the theater about balf an hour Stetson called Hug's atten- tion to Miss Head and Mrs. Summervale in a box. Soon aiterward he left Hug and Samuels and_joined them. That was the “Jast he saw of Stetson until aiter the show, when they met in the Columbia Cafe. He accompanied Mrs. Summervale homed walking part of the way with Stetson an Miss Head. He spid Dhe saw no signs of Stetson having been drinking henvfly,fll}e then recounted the incidents of Miss Head’s surhmoning him about 1 o’clock to Webster's room, where she said Stetson had killed himself. When he arrived a¢ the rooms Stetson was unconscious. He immediately called Drs. Farrell, Terrill Head notified of the shooting and who re- fused to go to the roora, explained that when Miss Head knockead at his door and said Stetson was dead he concluded it was no place for him to be. He gave her some advice and ‘‘then,” he *said, ‘I locked my door and went to bed.” Quay’s room is immediately beneath that where Stetson died, but the wiiness said he heard no shot. Armstead Smith, a very dignified colored gentleman who is janitor of the building | where the affsir occurred, had a very de- fective memory and could remember noth- ini material, | fiss Amy Head, in whose presence the | shooting was done, was next called. Bhe ! tota of the visit with Mrs. Summervale to the Orpheum and Stetson’s visit to the box. “I noticed he was looking bad,” she said, “and I said, ‘How are you {eeling, Al?’ He said, ‘Bad; too much booze; too much liquor.” As he turned around 1 saw a pistol in his hip pocket. 1induced him to let me take it, as he wasin no condition 1o have such a weapon. I then placed it in my lap, with my programme over it.”’ The visit to the Columbia Cafe was then described. Here she persuaded Stetson to remove four cartridges from the revolver. | She asked him if it was a_tive-shooter, but | he evaded the question. The visit to Web- ster’s rooms was next recounted. “I told Mr. Stetson I would have to go up to Mr. Webster's room and get adog,”” she said. “Then he was going to take me home in a coupe, as I live near him. Mr. Stetson followed me into the room, and admired the furniture. “1 said, ‘This is not going home. Come on.’ He said, ‘This is the way I will go home, Amy.’ He placed the revolver at his head, I heard a report and saw him fall. Ilooked on my hand and saw blood. I rushed down to see Quay. He refused ;g go up to the room. Then I went for ug.”! : Dr. J. 8. Barrett, autopsy physician, de- scribed the wound and the physical condi- tion of the body. L.S. Berry, a hackman, corroborated Miss Head’s ‘story of her drive to Hug's residence. The case was then given to the jury, which consisted of C. A. Blank, foreman; E. R. Pearce, John W. Wende, E. O. Janssen, John Henn, William J. Parrer, 8. H. Daniel and E. H. Rix. Their verdict of suicide was approvea by the Coroner. Held to Answer. W. Isham, a gripmen on the Hyde-street cars, was yesterday held by Judge Conlan to answer beiore the Superior Court, in $500 bonds, on the charge of assault with a deadly ‘weapon. “About three weeks ago Isham fired several shots at E.

Iuterest low, At Uncle Harrigy 16 Grant avenue, FARES DECLARED 10 BE TOO HIGH Complaints From a Mer- chant of the San Joa- quin Valley. SEEKING FOR A REMEDY Advice Asked From the State Board of Railroad Com- missioners. THE LATTER'S HANDS ARE TIED Still Patiently Waiting for the De- cision of the Judge of the Circuit Court. Now comes a complaint from Los Banos, in the S8an Joaquin Valley, and asks per- mission and guidance to formulate charges against the Southern Pacific Company, based on excessive freights and fares on what is called the west side branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad, and whicn extends from Tracy to Fresno, with a short spur from Collis to Armona. Particular cause of complaint lies in the passenger fare charges, which in no case are less than 5 cents per mile, and between some stations are as high as 6 cents per mile. C. F. Bertholf, a prominent merchant of Los Banos, is the gentleman who is xious to champion the cause of his fellow-sufferers before the Railicad Com- mission. His communication addressed to the board reads as follows: Hon. Board of Railroad Commissioners, San Francisco, Cal.—GENTLEXEN: Will you kindly inform me of the proper method of calling to your official attention an imposition on the part of the Southern Pacific Company which, I think, properly comes within your jurisdiction and autnority. 1 have reference to the freights and fares grinelpllly fares) imposed by the Southern acific Company on what is known as the San Pablo and Tulare extension. The regular passenger rate charged on this line, which Is called a “branch,” is 5 cents mile. All trains, by the way, running on this line are through trains with one exception. 1f this matier should be preseuted proverly by petition in order to receive your official attention, please let me know and, if by ordi- nary compiaint under oath by one individual, please let me know, generally, the matter necessary to be alieged in such complaint. 1 have tried for four years to get this matter taken up by the papers in hopes thatsome action would be taken. I have also applied to Governor Budd, and am referred to you, but am totally ignorant of the proper method of procedure. ThereforeIask to intrude myself upon your good nature with the above request. oping for an early reply I yours, very respectfully, C. F. BERTHOLF. Inquiry at the passenger department of the Southern Pacific showed that Berth- olf’s complaint was well founded, so faras | the rate per mile on this *‘branch’’ being 5 cents. The following table shows the dis- | tance between all the points on the Tracy- Fresno branch and the fare charged. The figures oppos.ic each town show the dis- tance and fare from the preceding town, taking Tracy as the starting-point: 2. The following table gives the same in- formation relative to the Coliis-Armona | branch, taking Collis as the starting-point: | Fare in | 0 15 | 8.37 35 It was further stated at the Southern | Pacific headguarters that there are other brancbes on which the 5-cent rate was charged, and this was due to the small | volume of business gbtained along them. | On the particular line under attention the | through rate from Tracy to Fresno is| based on the 3-cent rate, and only local | traffic between the poiuts specified in the | foregoing tables was subjected to the higher rate. ‘When asked why this particular section was selected for the imposition of the 5- cent rate one of the officials stated the position of the company as follows: “Why is it the New York Central can afford to handle business at a less rate from New York to Buffalo than it can be handled by the roads running westward out of Chicago? Simpiy because the ter- ritory between New York and Buffalo is practically one continuous well populated settlement. It isthe same on the Penn- sylvania road. Those old communities are all built up and the local business is something tremendous. **As you work West the settlements are not quite so thick through Ohio, Indiana or Lilinois, but whben you get west of Chicago through Iowa, Nebraska and Wy- oming the settlements are even more sparse. It is the same in California. Take down the coast division. We have got stations every few miles, and our rates are very low between San Francisco and San Jose, a distance of fifty miles,tor which we charge $1 25 or 24 cents per mile, and so between other points, many of the rates being less than they are outside of Chi. cago. “‘Our localjrates and our commutation rates particulariy, are less out of San Francisco than they are outof Chicago. e Illinois Central, with its big suburban traffic, charges 3 cenis a mile for subur- ban hauls. Our rates in the valleys here and along our old settled lines down the coast division, with the exception mentioned, are 3 cents a mile, the same as Ilhnois, Ohio, Iowa and all the thickly populated cities of the East. “We go to work and build a new line down the west side where there is virtually no local business. Now we cannot afford to run trains down there where we have rnctienlli no business as cheaply as where we have a considerable business. It is just the same as selling wholesale and retail. You can afford to sell more cheaply in large quantities than in small.”’ As the Railroad Commissioners left for San Diego yesterday to investigate the complaint of the citizens of that city against the California Southern Railway in connection with the Temecnla Canyon washed-out road, no action can be en in this connection until their return. 1t isnot probable that any attempt will even then be made t0 go into the matte: as thcl Colmxril:;lgne‘rl: coasllhr their hane completely )y the temporary injuni nied dge McKe tion g by Circuit Ju cKenna.

Last nights was the Iargest meeling that Judge has not even begun the task of re- viewing the evidence and arguments in that case much less the writing of the'de- cision. MAHER AND CHOYNSKI, The Irishman Is Afraid to Meet The Latter in This City. Maher and his manager, Connelly, held & conference yesterday with Joe Choynski who had just returned from Howell moun- tains, at which place he has been rusticat- ing for some weeks. Connelly was the spokesman. He stated | to Choynski that his ultimatum was $6000 or nothing. “‘Peter and 1,” said Connelly, “came out here under conditions that Maher would box Choynski ten rounds and that the winner was to get the full amount of the purse offered. “We found on our arrival that the Na- tional Club could not pull off the contest, because the Supervisors refused it a per- mit, and here we have.been waiting and waiting, in the hope that some of the clubs which had been granted a license would give a purse of the same amount as the National Club. During our stay in this City I have received disparches from my partner that one of the clubs of New York would give $6000 for a meeting be- tween Choynski and Maher, and under the circumstances I think we would be foolish to accept & lesser sum to box in this City.” Choynski agreed that Connolly was right in one particular, but he added that a bird in the band was worth two in the bush, and emphatically stated that if Maher had the remotest idea of meeting him he must fight in this City for a purse of $4500, and that a return fight could be pullea off in New York City. Connolly failed te see the point, and said that if a return match took place in New York City the sports would not give anéthlng like $6000 for the mill, hoyneki smiled and said that if there should be snch a big demand for fighters as Connelly predicted the New York sports would certainly give or more for a return match. Maher entered a big “kick” and said tnat he was disgusted with the way in which the Californians treated him and would take his departure for New York right away. The general opinion is that the Irish- man is afraid to meet the native son in this City and_is therefore anxious to get back to New York. DINED IN THE WARDAOOM Naval Battalion Officers tertain the New Major- Gen\aeral. En- The Table Was Laid on Board the 01d Historic Monitor Camanche. The wardroom stores of the old Ca- manche were ransacked for their finest last evening, for the officers of the Naval Battalion dined on board the monitor with Major-General N.
