HET DRAWS CLOSER ABOUT WINTHROP Several Very Damaging Letters Admitted in Evidence. WINTHROP THE AUTHOR Bitter Allusions to Captain Lees Please the Audience Im- mensely. THAT VERY IMPORTANT FPURSE Campbell Ciaims It—Winthrop Tries to Prove That He Has Owned It for Years. As the bailiff tapped his gavel for order at the Wintrop trial in Judge Wallace's court yesterday it was speedily seen that this was reaily the raising of the curtain ou the next to the last act of what prom- ises to be a somber performance for the defendant. Winthrop himself added to the dramatic effect by assuming a deter- verdigris stzins in the purse, resulting from contact with a 5-cent silver coin. While the defendant was testifying, Cap- tain Lees and the attorneys for the prose- cution made a minute examination of the purse. Winthrop turned pale and became very much excited. *1 wish to keep my eyes on that he exclsimed. *‘I do not wish any tamper with it.’’ The jurymen then examined the purse for stains, tobacco traces and other marks described by the defendant. “‘Where were you in the habit of carry- ing the purse?’’ was asked. “In my right-hand hip pocket,” he an- swered. On cross-examination by District Attor- ney Barnes Winthrop declared that the only time he had adopted a pseudonym had been in Oakland prior to his arrest, Where he had taken the name of Bronson. He denied ever baving used the name of 0. 8, Stannioger and said further that he did not enlist in the United States army in Brooklyn under that name, Defendant also denied having servedin the Tenth Infantry, but admitted that he had subsequently re-enlisted in the United States infantry January 7, 1881, under the name of 0. W. Winthrop. “Did you ever go by the name of Isaac W. Calkins?” “I never did."” *“Where did you originally enlist?” *‘Captain Lees failed to getthe correct information,” sneeringly answered Win- throp, *Itisascheme of his. I first en- listed at Boston, January 6, 1876. I was assigned to Captain Charles Porter’s Com- pany B, United States Infantry, and served under him ten years. I was born at Dedhom, Mass.” ¢ “Did you attend any schoels in Bos- ton?”’ Witness falteringly replied that he had attended a business college in the Hub, and had also been a student at Cambridge, but cou!d not tell the school nor the street on which he lived. District Attorney Barnes then inquired of the defendant his reason for going to San Jose. Winthrop answered that he went there to attend ihe Congressional fight of a friend of his, H. W. Quitzow. “Did you send any telegrams from San Jose?” gurse.” ody to mined expression of face that spoke vol- |, ‘Yes; one to Urquhart and one to umes, Both the wife and the two small sons of the prisoner were on hand at the morning session, but the wife was absent at the afternoon session. As for the little boys, they sat there during the whole day and prattled to each other of marbles, tops and ithe Mechanics' Fair. Proceedings opened by placing O. T. Zinu, exchange teller of ths Anglo-Cali- fornia Bank, on the stand. His testimony was that be had cashed a check of about 250 for Campbell about 11:30 A. M. Au- gust 3. When the defendant was called he was asked why he had shaved his mustache off. I did it because a number of m ends bad done so0,” was the answer. “They said they wanted to look like McKinley, and 1 followed snit. My wife, also, wanted me to shave it off, because it bothered me in eating.” It is evident that here lately Winthrop’s Quitzow,” After the witness had identified the tele- grams they were shown to the jury and introduced in evidence. Wituess told of his meeting at San Jose with Campbell, ana admitted that he had learned from Urqubart that Campbell was at the Veniome in San Jose before he went there, “Dia you have any conversation with the clerks at the Vendome 2" “No, sir; I felt a little sheepish in hav- ing registered and washing my hands without paying for the room, so avoided the clerks.” “When you returne@ to the City and went to the Occidental Hotel, was Urqu- bart there?’ asked Barnes. *“I failed to see him.” ““Was A, A. Brown's testimony to hav- ing loaned you $35 correct?” “It was.” An adjournment was then taken till 2p M. regard for his wife’s wishes has weakened, as his mustache is now in the first or sprouting stage. “Did you return to cottage after you leit was asked. “No, sir; that was there.” Winthrop then entered into a seneral denial of the story told by Planter Campbell, in which he said no masked man was present at the cottage, the only other one present besides Campbeil Limself being the woman mentioned in defendant’s testimony, given yesteraay. +'Did you hear a shot fired ?" *“No, sir.” “Did you strike Mr. Campbell?” *No, sir.” In response to torney, Frank V. denied Mrs. Dunton’s story, even going to the limit of denying that he had ever vis- ited the California-street cottage prior 10 going there with Cam pbell, ““Mrs. Dunton is mistaken,” he declared. ‘When ehe first saw me in prison she pas- itively stated: ‘That is not the man.’ Since then Captain Lees has made good his tbreat that he would make her testify.” On being asked when he had first seen James Campbell, defendant stated that it wasat the Occidental Hotel, some time be- tween July 5 and 11. 1t was in obedience, be said, to a letter Urquhart had sent, re- questin™ to see him. There Urquhart had shown his real character by unfolding a mining scheme, the consummation of which required $20,000. In order to carry it out, Winthrop said, Urquhart suggested that they kidnap somebody, and asked that he enter into the scheme. “1 repudiated the proposal,” said Win- throp, “and leit. Anold gentleman who bad overheard the conversation followed me out into the main office and congrat- ulated me on my refasal.” “Where did you tirsi hearof Campbell ?’ “Through Urqubart, who one day, in conversation with myself and a gentle- man named Duncan, turned and asked Duncan if he had seen Campbell since ne went to bed with his boots on. ‘The — old fool said we robbed him of $500,” said Duncan. “Then,” continued Winthrop, “I be- | came interested and inquired who Camp- bell was. They toid me he was a rich Hawaiian planter who was here to put his children in a Catbolic schoo!l. I asked for an introduction, as [ wished to exercise my influence in kesping them out of such an institution, “Later on I had a conversation with Urqubart, in which he said the planter wished to go off ‘on a racket.” Urqubart said he would pay well if we would get him some women, as he was very liberal when drunk. I stated very emphatically that I wanted nothing whatever todo with suchk a proposition.”” Winthrop admitted having written a letter to Urquhart, asregards receiving $§0 for piloting Campbell through the tender- loin district, and stated thaton the morn- ine of August 3 he left home earlier than usual, arriving ia town about 9:30 o’ clock. After seeing the assistant superintendent of the Sutter-street Railroad on some- thing of a political nature he went to Daniels’ marble-yard, and coming gown- town met Urquuoart. “He asked me if I knew tue Speck boys. 1 said I did, and he wanted me to go with him and pay the balance of tnerent for the California-street cottage. I went to Speck and afterward gave the receipt to Urquhart. When I went bome on Wednes- day afternoon my wite said Urqubart had been there and she upbraided me for keep- ingup en acquainiance with him. She said furthermore that Urquhart had left a request that I meet him at the Occidental Hotel at 10 o’clock that night. I went, but failed to see Urqubart, meeting instead a man who addressed me by name and stated that if I did not leave town I might meet with unpleasant adventures. +*As I left I walked through the barroom and had a drink. Captain Lees was there, and we both saw eachother.” *When aid you Jeave San Francisco?” “Thursday, August 6.” “Why did you go?”’ “To avoid persecution at the hands of the police. They had kept me in hot water about a year previous, but on trial the jury had rteturned a verdict of not guilty in less than five minutes.” The defendant stated that he had been the Califernia-street it on August 3?” he the last time I went uestions from his at- ell, Winthrop forcibly Just before the afternoon session of court the corridor was filled with an im- mense crowd. ‘Winthrop said that after leaving Camp- beil in the California-sireet house he saw him no more until in the City Prison. At 6 p. n. Thugsday, August 6, he said he went to Oakland and stayed at the Claren- don House, corner of Washington and Seventh streets. A letter, written by him from Oakland to Frederick Cranmer, was introduced in evidence. Winthrop admitted having written it, as he said there was no use in trying to deny it. The letter contained instructions to his wife where to rceet him in Qakiand and how she should act on meeting him. Hspecial stress was laid on the fact that she should be very careful not to come if she were convinced that some one was following. She was instructed to retrace ber steps for a biock before taking the broad-gauge boat for Oakland, and that when she arrived there to get oif the rear platform of the irain. There she was instructed to go along the street, and he would follow and accost her when he was satisfied that she was not shadowed. A brief letter of explanation was sent to Cranmer, in which he was asked to send the inclosure to his wife. In the wife's letter was also a screed addressed to the editor of & daily paper, explaining that he wag an object of special Latred with Cap- tain Lees. This was the second series received by Cranmer, and he began to think he him- self might get into trouble over it. On conferring with Postmaster Me- Coppin it was deemed advisable to con- sult with District Attorney Barnes as to- the advisabilivy of delivering it. As the letter was merely an inclosure, not stamped and not in the mails, it was thougut expediént and proper to open it. The damaging character of Winthrop's letter to his wife may be gleaned fiom a perusal of the vital portions of i:. One of the letters written to Winthrop's wile was signed *j. H. A.,” and pur- ported to come from a friend. This friend claimed to be in honor bound to comiort Mrs. Winthrop, as, be said, her husband bhad deparied on an enterprise in which he himself was very much interested. The letter insiructed the reader 1o pay no atiention 1o What the newspapers were publishing, as the writér and a friend could establish an alibi in refutation of “the charges which Captain Lees in his usual stupidity and lack of investigation, as well as his xnown eamity to Mr. Win- throp, has seen fit to publish to the world.” At this. juncture Capiain Lees turned the color of a boiled lobster and fidgeted unessily in bis chair, while the bainff had to rap repeatedly for order. It was plainly seen by :he laughter of tbe audience that no matter how strong the case against Win- throp Captain Lees was iu hardly better favor with the assembled mass of people thau tue aefendant himself. The inclosed letter for publication in some newspeper stated that the writer was in the company of Winthrop and an- other gentieman from 3 1w 6 o'clock . M. August 3. The other mjan, however, was out of town, and would not be back ior a few weeks. The author, who it must be borne in mind was Winthrop himself, he having admitted the authorship of ail these let- ters, said he met Winthrop later in the evening at a hall at 18 O'Farrell street, and remained toere till after 1L c’clock. He then gave an account of how Win- throp bad spent his time till Wednesday noon. The most damagiug letter, the one dated to his wife on August 10, said de- fendant would put Urqubact in a box for his dirty work, and inciosed the following letter to be copied and mailed to Captain Lees by tis son Willie: Captain Lece: If you want to catch the man that dogged old Campbell you take in Donald Archibald Urquhart, put him in the tanks for & couple of days, then have that woman that ‘was at the house he rented come and identify him. Then when that is done you teil him | one was outside the window on the east side of | the Occidental biillard-room and heard him propose and 1ay out tiie scheme of doing old Campbell. Then ask him what devilisn scheme he had 1o raise the $200 with which to do the Campbell job. Make him render an ao- count of his whereabouts and-what he has been doing. Get him to make his confession. Then I wiil come forward and bear witness to arrested at the postoffice in Oukland, though he could have escaped by running, but wanted to be taken into custody as it 100 oad off his heart. “Why did you hide your moneyt” asked Attorney Bell “Well, about nine years ago,” said the defendant, I was stood up and robbed. Since then I have hidden my money. You will admit that it was in a safe place, won’t you?’ addressing Captain Lees. “Have you ever seen this purse before?"” queried defendant’sattorney, as he handed Winthrop the purse taken from bim, and claimed by Campbell as his property. “I’ve carried that purse for nine vears,”’ retorted Wint rop, “and I would like to have a magnifying glass here so that the i\,\{y might make a careful examination of it.” Winthrop continued that he could show more than that. How about tnat indictment of the last Grand Jury which has never been used? LAW-ABIDING CITIZEN. Wintbrop was recalled, ana on & query from his attoraey said he used this method of communicating with his wife because he knew the letters fo her would be intercepted and opened, as others en- tirely foreign tothe affair had been opened by and are now in the care of Captain Lees. Captain Lees here screwed around un- comiortably in bis chair, and the audi- ence again manifested their sympathy with Winthrop, so iar as the head of the detective department is concerned, by loud laughter mingled with a few re- marks. Aiter order had been restored, Win- throp continned: “I knew of the deadly hatred Lees had for me, and deemed it advisable io0 send something to the papers to offset his bale- ful influence.” A. M. Pierson of 1720 Central avenue, the superintendent of Laurel Hill Ceme- tery, was next called. He was handed the purse exhibited at the morning session and identified it as similar to the one he had seen in Winthrop’s possession for a long time, and he bhad never seen him carry a different one. Henry Gorman, employed at Laurel Hill Cemetery, stated that he had known Winthrop for seven or eight years. He said Winthrop cenerally carried his purse in his hip pocket, and used to lend him a dollar or two at times. Barnes—You are able to swear that the purse is only similar? e {7 e 4 *#Did you not hear Winthrop testify this morning that he carried it in his hip pocket 2"’ After some hesitation the witness an- swered that he had. John Tyrrell, who tends the water works in Laurél Hill Cemaetery and has known Winthrop for about six years, testified that the purse was similar to Winthrop’s, and that he had also seen the defendant carry money loose in his pocket. Harvey Burdell of 811 Golden Gate ave- nue was then cailed to the stand. He tes- tified to knowing Winthrop for the last year, but not intimately. He was asked if he saw him Wednesday evening, Au- gust 5, but an objection from Bell pre- vented an answer, and the witness was dismissed, Bell then stated that two important wit- nesses were absent, and asked that the case be continued till Monday morning. Barnes objected to this, saying he wished the case to end as soon as possible. The objection was sustained and D. A. Urqubart was called in rebuttal. “Did you ever agree to kidnap Camp- bell with Winthrop?” asked Barnes. “No; it was on the other hand.”” “What have you tosay to what Mr. Win throp said about you?” ““Well, before he went to S8an Jose he asked me to go inand kidnap Campbeil with him, He also asked me mi address and I gave him a fictitious one. did not see him again till August 3. Then I met him ar the Occidental Hotel. While I was conversing with Winthrop George Koch came up and I left with bim."” The witness’ subsequent actions were explained as they have been given before. At one time a lively tiff arose between counsel as to whether Urquhart should be allowed to proceed, but he finally left the chair. The last’ and most comical witness called during the day was Alexander Duncan, “Now, Mr. Duncan,” said Barnes, “at any time since the beginning of the worid to the present time were you in the Occi- dental Hotel with Winthrop and Urqu- bart, holding a couversation in which Winthrop asked how Campbell was since he went to bed with his boots on, and you answered: ‘Yes, the — old fool said we robbed him of $500"?” Duncan lifted nis hands in horror and earnestly exclaimed: ‘“Never in God's world 1" The bailift here had great difficulty in restoring order. When askea if anything else he could remember took place witness naively an- swered that he had invited Winthrop out to take a drink. To the best of his recol- lection the defendaut never refused that Kind of an offer. Amid uproarions laughter the case was adjourned till Monday at 10 A. M. HUDELSON'S DEPOSITION, He Denies That Any Alimony Can Be Due From Him. Because, He Alleges, He Was Never Married to the Woman Who Has Sued Him. The deposition of B. F. Hudelson was taken yesterday afternoon at Reel B. Terry’s office in the Parrott building in connection with the suit, previously re- ferred to, which has been begun against him for alimony and attorneys’ fees by the woman who claims to have lived with him and to have been acknowledged by him as his wife. She calls herself Mrs. Hudelson. He says that he knew her as Cora or Millie Webster, by both of whish names she was called; and also as Mrs. Millie Johnston. Counsel present were Reel B. Terry and W. H. Jordan, the last named being attorney for Mr. Hudelson. The deposition was begun with the state- ment of the age, occupation, etc of the de- ponent. The remainder was principallycon. fined to Mr. Hudelson’s recital of his rela- tions with the woman who claims alimony. The recital was long, occupying the better part of the afternoon. He testified that he was never married to her; that he never introduced her as his wife to any one; that during the period when he was associated with ber, which period ended in 1885, he was living a fast iife; that she kept or was an Inmate of a disreputable house at Mo- desto during the period referred to, and that be was fully aware of her character and occapation which were notorious, She also_lived with him in a cabin which he built for occupation in connection with cattle business at Oak Flat. He acknowledged that she had visited his father's house once in his company, but said that he was under the influence of liquor at the time. She also visited the home of his parents once when he was there. He told his mother that he did not want anything more to do with the present plaintiff, and his mother or- dered her to leave the house. He was asked whether he had not introdnced her to many persons, who were inaividnally mentioned by counsel, as his wife. He answered en:phatically that he had not. His relations with her were intimate, but he haa never proposed that they should be married, nor did she ever suggest such a thing. On cross-examination Mr. Hudelson said that be became converted to Christianity in 1887. He was then living in Modesto, and there he was subsequently ordained as a Baptist clergyman, and he preached in Modesto between two and three years before he went to Golden Gate, in Ala- meda County, where he has since resided. His marriage to the lady who bore his name was publicly anncunced, and was publicly celebrated at Modesto. The woman who now claims to have been bis wife, and who is the plaintiff in the present proceedings, was living at Modesto at the time that he was publicly married totbe lady whom he publicly recognized as Mrs. Hudelson, and she neither at that time, nor previously, nor at any other time prior to the beginning of this suit, so far as he knew, ever claimeu to have been his wife. Once he saw her in his congregation while he was preaching in the Baptist church at Modesto. 1t was his custom as a preacher, after the sermon, to go to the front of the church and there shake hands with all the congregation as they passed out. In observing this custom he thought it very probable that when the plaintiff was in his congregation at Modesto on the occasion mentioned he may have shaken bands with her as she passed out of the front door. That was the only occasion upon which be has met her since he finally gave up her society in 1885. A poem was introduced which he said he wrote. 1t was written for a lady in Mo- desto who is now dead. When the plain- uiff discovered the verses she was angry, and he accordingly changed the form of the verse, which was an_ acrostic, to dedi- cate it to Miliie instead of Moilie. 'rbe particulars of Mr. Hudelson’s early life weresgone into in much detail. He was sure that he had never introduced the vlaintiff to any one as his wife. ————— Insolvent Saloon Men.

Commissioner Higgins, about the great- est globe-trotting man in the Balvation Army, is to visit the Pacific Coast next month. He bas been to most of the army stations all over the World, but he is now paying his first visit to the Urnited States.

From information received yesterday Captain Lees was able to state that Mor- gan, the young train-robber who was shot near Sacramento while attempting to rob the overland express, was an old hand at the business. The typewriter which Morgan had left at his City headquarters on East street, near Market, was positively identified as the property of the Puget SBound Lumber Company. William P. Barues, who was typewriter and bookkeeper of the com- any at Visalia, recognized the machin-. gt was stolen from the lumber company’s Visalia office April 26, 1896, wben the oftice was broken into and the safe blown open by burglars. ‘Buspicion that they were responsible for Commissioner Higgins of the Salvation Army. vation Army and there will be great dem- onstrations here in his honor. The commissioner is considered to be one of the representative men of the army, which he joined as long ago as 1878. At that time he was a prosperous biscuit manufacturer at Reading, a town rot very far from London. Mr. Higgins was a temperance advocate, but he looked with distrust upon the army, the mem- bers of which he considered to have a great deal more zeal than discretion. One day, to his surprise, a member of the army asked him to use his influence to obtain a permanent nall, in Reading itself, for the Salvation Army. Mr. Hig- gins was aimost paralyzed by theaudacity of the request, and he replied that he would not use his influence toward getting a single brick, much less a hall. The future corumissioner was interested, however, in such sublime audacity, and he attended an army meetinz to see what the thing was like. That sealed his tate, for he was converted straightway, and at General Booth's request gave up manufac- turing biscuits, to devote himeelf to etting recruits for the Cross of Blood and ire. For a while the new recruit was plain ““Mr. Higgins,”’ but after two years of gen- eral army work he suggested a financial system to General Booth for raising funds among army people. The plan was at once adopted experimentally and was found to work so well that after four years of it Mr. Higgins was appointed financial | secretary at international headquarters, a position which he held till 1894, At the breaking up of the International Jubilee Congress, Commissioner Higgins was made a special representative to any part of the world where it might be thought that his experience ght be useful. His first journey was to South Africa, where he took special deight in seeing the way Zulus were flocking into the fold. The brother of the terrible Cetewayo, the late Zulu King, came to visit him, and the commissioner had the pleasure of im- parting his first inkling of Christianity to the great chief. One of the parts of the world in which the commissioner has civen agreatimpetus to army work is Demarara. He swore in 150 recruits recently at Georgetown, and he said afterward that he believed every shade of color known to the human race was represented in the serried ranks of those recruits. In the West Indies Commissioner Hig- gins bas done a great deal of work among the people of African descent, and he has been instrumental in inducing General Booth to form a West Indian territory as soon us the officers and money can be found to open up otherisiandsin the Carib- bean Sea. The Argentina and Uruguay have been fields where Commissioner Higgins has extended the borders of the Salvation Army, aad he has :uonglf recommended the opening of Chile. It is believed that his coming to the United States is due to Consul Emma Booth-Tucker. MARRIkD THIRTSEN TIMES. Mrs. Esther German’s Most Recent Husband Is Now Suing for Divoree, Mrs. Esther German will probably soon be an eligible in the matrimonial market. She has been married thirteen timesal- ready, but that will no doubt trouble her very little in case the right man comes along. Her present husband, Louis Ger- man, is suing oer for divorce. Heis now a firm believer in the malevolent influence of the number 13. German is not a Germaun, butis a Siav. He came to this country from Vladivo- the daring robbery in the San Joaquin Valley has consequently fallen upon Mor- gan and his outlaw companions. Several employes of the circus, who had not seen Morgan’s photograph Thursdn{, when shown it yesterday unhesitatingly stated that he was ‘‘Doc” Morgan, who haunted the circus camp in winter quar- ters at Columbus, Ohio, last winter. A NEW FREE CLINIC, Poor Patients to Be Treated at St Joseph’s Hos- pital. Sisters in Charge Will Furnish Medi. cines, Bandages, Etc., Free to the Iadigent. To further enlarge the scope of Bt. Joseph’s Hospital, on Buens Vista ave- nue, it has been decided "to add a free clinic, to be open to the poor ou Saturdays at-10 A. M. The purpose of this clinic is to give the poor a chance to consuit reput- able and experienced physicians free of charge, The clinic will at tirst be held at the hospital at the time designated. Further facilities will be added from time to time, as its needs may require. The sisters in charge will furnish medicines, bandages and all that is needed, at cost price to those able to pay it, and free to the indi- gent, St. Joseph’s Hospital is perhaps less known than other similar institutions, as its management has always done its char- ity in & quiet but effective way. It is in charge of the Franciscan Sisters of Charity. J It was established some eight years ago to carry out a bequest ol a wealthy lady, who had been an invalid during the last years of her life and who had wished to benefit others by the abundant means at her disposal. The sisters enlarged upon the original idea and took in the acutely ill as well as the chronic sufferers, and slowly but surely they have established a charitable hospital second to none in the City. ’l‘yhe hospital has now some 120 patients, over half of whom are charity patients. ‘Twenty-two sisters have charge, and are themselves governed by a superioress. The entire work of the hospital—nursing, housekeeping and all the manual work—is done by the sisters. They manage the place the best they can, subsisting on charity, and are always ready to give their half loaf to the needy. There are several physicians connected with the hospital. Dr. Eichler, who has just returned from a trip abroad, has for years been the pbysician in charge. Dr. dfig i has been the consulting surgeon since the sisters took charge. The present staff consists of Dr. Eichler, Dr. de Vecchi, Dr. Gale, Dr. Maas and Dr. Sartori as pathologist. They will treat the poorat the free ¢linics. A Cashjer Held for Embezzlement. Thomas S. Altherstone, who was formerly employed as cashier of the local branch of the Singer Sewing Machine Company, was ex- amined in the Police Court yesierday on two charges of felony embezzlement. He was ac- cused of appropriating (o his own uses $300 and $250 belongiug to the company. The Court held him for trial in the Superior Court on":om charges and set his bail at $1500 on ea Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. THE SUNDAY CALL.
