"THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, TENANTED BY SPIDERS AND DUST Widow Lemon Refuses to Disturb Her Husband’s Drugstore. For Ten Years It Has Stcod as| When Death Called Him Away. Blindness Will Scon Prevent the Faith. ful Sou! From Seceing the Well-Known Place. { | OAKLAND OrFice Sax Fraxcrsco CALy,) 908 Broadway, Nov. 19. An attempt recently made to lease a store on Broadway, near Third street, brought to light an interesting case of a woman’s devotion to the memory of her husband. Mrs. Lemon lives at the back of the store, which is located one door north of Third street, on the east side of Broad- | way. For over ten years she has lived there, but not a thing in the store has been touched since the night her husband died suddenly of pneumonia. Dr. Lemon was the preorietor of the | drugstore, which was established over thirty vears ago when lower Broadway was the busiest part of the city. His place was known all over the county, and he was equally popular as a drugstore | proprietor and as a physician. About ten | years ago he died, ana the widow decided | ihat she would leave the store just as it | was when her husband last left it, and | she has refused to alter her decision. | Many yeurs ago the windows became so entirely frosted with dust and cobwebs | that no one has been abie to look inside | from the street. A rough wooden batten | is nailed across the window, and for over | five years the thousands of people who | have passed have not known that 1t was an empty store, like many others in that part of town. The interior is interesting. 1t isa com- plete darugstore. The walls are covered with shelves, on which are labeled bottles partially filled with drugs. Mildew has done its work, but a large portion of the bottles and vials are no worse disfigured than with half aninch of dust and cob- webs. The varnish on the shelves and fixtures bas disappeared, and the wrap- ping-paper, once white, has long since | turned yellow. The scales contain scme | drug that was 1n process of being weighed | when the proprietor hurriedly wentto bis room, from which he was carried out a few | days later. The &)resurlpuun-uook is b open, but is ered so deep with dust | that the writing is not legible. A bottle | with the stopper out is_beside it, and the | vrescription which Dr. Lemon was filhng | ten years ago is beside it. Larce pieces oi paper hang from the | dank walls and festoons of spiders’ tracks | connect one side of the store with the | other. The key in the lock has rusted and the aged OW uses a rear entrance. In the window are old almanacs and par- | cels of herbs that have long since lost | their virtue. The lamp isaiso there that | burned out the night the proprietor lit it | for the last time. | For a wonder; no one has ever reported | a ghost in the deserted storé. Such a| luxury, however, is unnecessary, as the | place isa ghost in itself. Mrs. Lemon is now an old woman, but | when a proposition was made lately to | lease the store she refused to listen to it, and declared that it should remain as it is. Itis reported that in her will she has desired that the property stall not be dis- turved for all time. If this e the case, her desire cannot be carried out, as the house wiil not be habitable for many more years. During the past few months blindness has overtaken the widow, and now she ‘can only see with difficulty, Every day | she goes into the store and looks at the place once occupied by her husband. Be- i fore long she will go in there, but will see | nothing. Although her income from her preperty is very small, and barely enough | for her wants, she will not add to it by renting the drugstore. The Macdonough Theater. OAKLAND, CaL., Nov.18.—*Alabama,” one cf A. M. Palmer’s plays, with a good | cast and special scenery. will be the attrac- tion Friday and Saturday evenings, and a popular price matinee Saturday atiernoon. “Darkest Russia’” will hold the boards next Monday and Tuesday nights. Dedication of Reed Hall, OAKLAND, Cavr, Nov. 18.—The beauti- ful new Reed Hall, in the Ebell Greek Temple, corner of Thirieenth and Harri- son streets, will be dedicated to-morrow night by a concert of unusual excellence, under fashionable patronage.

Crepaux the French opera- singer, the Tobins, man and wife, trom- bone-players, and Willis Bacheller, tenor; Thomas Rickard, basso; Mrs. Mille Flynn- Wratten, soprano, and Mrs, Carroli- Nicholson, contralio, There is also bo ked to appear a young lady violinist, recently returned from Joacbim, at Berlin, whose playing has aroused the intense enthu- siasm of the critics who have heard her in private. Suing for Alienation. OAKLAND, Caw., Nov. 18.—William H. Frost has brought suit against Grove F. Tinkham for 000 for alienating his wile’s affections. Tinkham is a ticket agent at the Fourteenth-street depot and all the parties are well known. l"mslwls in charge of the narrow-gauge siips. Frost alleges that Tinkham has been a frequent visitor at his house since 1893 and was con- sidered to be a friend of the family. . Gradually Tinkham succeeded, it is al- leged, in transplaniing Mrs. Frost's affec- tions to himself. Frost asserts that in September, 1895, his wife took their 13- year-old aaughter and left his home for Tinkham. Mrs. Carrie E. Frost 1s the daughter of Luther Fillmore, who retired some months ago froin the superinten- dency of the narrow-gauge division. She is well known in tnis city and the suit has created somewhat of a sensation. MORE RAIDS IN BERKELEY, Arrests of Men Charged With Traffick- ing in Intoxicants Within the “sMile Limit.”” BERKELEY, CaL, Nov. 18.—Marshal Lioyd began anotner raid npon the ill_ici: liguor-shops of East Berkeley to-day, sim- ilar to the famous round-up of abouta year ago. Three places were visited at which, according to general ramor, liquor has been on sale for some time, Joseph Doran, keeper of the new Ache- son hotel, was arresied and charged with keeping intoxicating liquors on his prem- jses. J. Woodall, who is in the employ of Doran, was charged with selling liquor without a license. The same charge was made against O. J. Funder, keeper of the California Hotel. . J. Salmon was also arrested and charged with conducting a gambling- place. It is declared that cash poker games have been running reguiarly in Salmon’s establishment. Lioyd’s new raid is one more effort upon the part of the town authorities to grapple with the extraordinary difficulties ¢f regu- lating the liguor raffic, caused by the ex- istence of tue State University *‘mile- limit” law. The arrests of to-day were under a local ordinance, which contains among its pro- vieions a clause making it a misdemeanor to store liguor without a license. The charges against Funder and Woodall, however, of selling without a license, im- piy a violation of the *‘mile-limit” law, as well as of the town ordinance. If the one can be established in court, so can the other. Marshal Lloyd declares that he has con- clusive evidence against all the men ar- rested. Shots Fired. BERKELEY, CaL, Nov. 18, — South Berkel-y has a mysterious shooting affair which looks very much like an_attempted murder. Last night Daniel Woolley of Woeoisey street was fired at twice as he was walking down Alcatraz avenue. The bullets passed uncomfortably close to Mr. Woolley’s head, and he made a rapid es- cape from thc scene. The shots were heard by several people living in the neigliborhood and an alarm was quickly given, but mno trace of the would-b: assassin could be found, though an unknown man was heard running away after Mr. Woolley’s narrow e-cape. The affair is wrapped in mystery, and so far tae local police have not succeeded in making anything of it. Basket-Ball Game. BERKELEY, Cat., Nov. 18. —A basket- ball game has been arranged to take place mext Friday in the Harmon Gymnasium between the university co-eds’ team and a team from Miss Head's school.

MARRIED A MAN WITH A WIFE Pretty Minnie Deel’s Short Wedded Life Ended Suddenly. Searched Her Husband’s Trunk and Found a Letter He Would Not Explain. He Is Now Unpder Arrest at Los Angeles and Tried to End His Life in a Cell. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Nov. 18. } John Lee, who is now under arrestat Los Angeles, has an Oakland record. He lived several years in tnis city, where he has a wife and child living at Third ard Grove streets. Lee, or Bisbee, has been married several times and it is hinted by friends of his Oakland wile that he has committed bigamy. About two and a half years ago Lee, as he called himself here, was a hackman employed at the late Peter Pumyea's stables. In June, 1894, ne met Miss Minnie Deel, who was one of the most attractive young girls in this city. Lee Miss Minnie Deel, a Seventeen- Year-Old Bride, Who Fears Her Husband Committed Bigamy. was a very smooth talker and he won the girl’s heart. He was quite sporty in ap- pearance and was one of the best known men of his class around town. On June 20, 1894, he married Miss Deel, who was then only 17, and the couple lived pleas- antly for more than a year. About a year ago a little boy was born and soon aiter its birth Lee began to show signs of uneasi- ness ana expressed a desire to leave Oakland. Some months ago the couple went to Los Angeles, but their happiness soon ended. According to the story told by the young wife's relatives, Mrs, Lee over- hauled her husband’s trunk oneday and then there was a scene. She found a letter from a woman who stated that unless he produced papers showing that he had been divorced from his former wife all correspordence should cease. This opened the wife’s eyes and she de- manded several kinds of an explanation. Lee did not give her the satisfaction that she sought, so she came back with her child to Oakland, and has since resided with her mother. After returning to this city Mrs. Lee started an investigation and discovered that under the name of Bisbee her hus- band had married a woman in San Fran- cisco, but she could find no record of a aivorce. She also found that at that par- ticular time her husband was anXious to leave Oakland his San Francisco wiie was making inquiry regarding him. His young Oakland wife then made a demand on him for his divorce papers, but he would not produce them, <o she secured the services of ex-Judge Gibson, and Lee was recently served with the papers in Los Ange ss. Lee was arrested Monday night at Los Angeies for an assault upon little Flossie Foy, the 13-year-old daughter of one of the best-known merchants of that city. After his arrest he tricd to commit suicide. SETTLED FOR CONSTABLE, G. H. Payne Secures Assignments to All Claims and Draws the Con- tractor’s Balauce.

Reed Exonerated From All Blame by the Inspectors. O. F. Bolles and W. A. Phillips of the steam vessel inspection service have pre- sented their official report to Captain John Bermingham of their investigation of the case of the loss of the steel steamer Arago on the Coos Bay jetty, Oregon. The local inspectors exonerate Captain A. Reed, the master of the Arago, from all blame for the loss of the vessel, and they pay him a high compliment for his efforts in saving life and property. The disaster occurred on October 20. After reviewing the evidence, the in- spectors in their reports say: From the evidence taken in this case we find that the channel at that point was only about 500 feet wiae and the master was justified in going near the ond of the jetty, as it1scus- tomary for steamers to go there to look at the bar. Athis time Captain Reed met with a strong northerly current setiing across the end of the jetty, which was exactly opposite to what he and others had experienced before at the same ctage of the tide. This is corrob- ordted by Captain A. M. Simpson, a man of many years' experience on Coos Bay bar, and by the United States Life-saving crew. Tue unexpected current with the heavy sea caused the loss of the steamer Arago. Alter she siruck (aptain Reed did ali in his power to save tue lives of his pass-ngers and crew. We therefore exonerate him from blame in connection witkh the above casualty. The Arago was built in 1885, of steel, at San Francisco, 947.17 tons gross, and was valued at about $100,000 and her cargo at $3000. WRIT FOR PAULSELL. Preliminary to an Aitempt to Secure a Seduction of the Bail Whiech Holds Him. W. Paulsell, w:o has been granted a new trial by the Supreme Court, wishes to secure a reduction of bail, to the end that he may be at liberty pending the new trial. His bail was placed at $60.000, ana this he is unable to raise; consequently neis still in the County Jail, where he has been under a fifteen years’ sentence for robbery for some time. The crime ot which he ‘was convicted created a sensa- tion at the time it was committed. A gambling game on Market street was robbed, a sack of money being taken. Paulsell was running when he was ar- rested, as he went plump up againsta policeman. Most of the coin was recovered, but the boys were picking up money on the street the next day. The Supreme Court granted Paulsell a2 new trial on the first day of the present montb. On Tuesday of the present week a writ of habeas corpus was issued for Paulsell by the Su- preme Court ing in Sacramento. This writ is returnable on the 24th inst.

A delegation of taxpayers will be pres- ent at the meeting of the board on Mon- day next to urge favorable consideration of the protest. Aunoyed the Piayers.

If Found to Be Iasame She Will Be Committed to the State Asylum by the Sheriff Yesterday morning, when Judge Wal- lace called the case of Mrs. Susie B. Mag- tin, who killed her husband and was ac- quitted on the ground of insanity, he turned to Attorney Cook and asked him if he was ready to proceed. Mr. Cook replied that he was ready pro- vided there was anything to proceed on. He understood the court to intimate that proceedings wouid be had under section 1167 of the Penal Code, which provides that persons acquitted of a charge of mur- der because of insanity may be examired by a jury to determine their mental con- dition. His first contention was that a jury ought to be impaneled from the jury list of the county. He aiso referred the court to section 4480 of the Political Code, which requires that all the codes must be construeu and read together, according to which he thought proceedings in the pres- ent instance must be had under section 2210 of the Political Code, which says that before a person may be tried on a charge of insanity a compiaint must be filed, He thought no issue cou'd be joined without the filing of 2 complaint. Continuing his remarks Mr. Cook said that the record of the murder case would show that no claim had been set up that the defendant was insane at the time of the trial. “If such a suggestion had been made a special proceeding would have been or- dered to inquire into that matter,” said the Judge. Reference was made by Mr. Cook to the case of Jane Suattuck, who was acquitted because of insanity, and to the Fredericks case. Mr. Cook conciuded by moving that the prisoner be discharged from custody g)r the reason that no complaint was on le. His Honor said that in shisjopinion the record of the trial and the verdict in this case stands in the place of a complaint. Section 1167 of the Penal Code provides that if a jury shall render averdict of acquittal because of insanity, then the risoner may be examined, etc. That ad happened, and this proceeding is cen- sez}ucmly in conformity with that section. The verdict of the jury did not say it was temporary insanity. it said the defendant was acquitted because of her insanity. Remembering this it was proper to recall the fact that t e testimony showed that the prisoner’s mother was and 1s insane, that her uncle wasinsane, and that others who were related to her were insane. That was the condition of her blood. “The jury might have returned a ver- diet of tem porary insanity if they had been so-minded,” said_Judge Wallace, “‘and if they had done so I would not think it m; duty to take this proceeding. But hereis a verdict of acquittal, because of 1nsanity. The act would be felonious if committ d by a sane persoa. This acquittal on the face of it is a warrant that this woman mav go and kill another person and be acquitted again because of insanity, unless some proceeding may be had to determine what shall be done with her.” Judge Wallace thereupon denied Mr. Cook’s motion to dismiss the prisoner. He said :hat the point to havea ju drawn from the list of county jurors was well taken, and proceeded at once to that business. The venire is returnable to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock, at which time the examination of Mrs. Martin will be pro- ceeded with. THE SUIT DIDN'T FIT. Why Henry Groenninger Spent an Un- comfortable Hour in Justice Ker- rigan’s Court Yesterday. Henry Groenningerspent an uncomfort- able hour in Jusiice Kerrigan's court yesterday while being pulled and bauled about by a trio of expert tailors, and all because the fit of a suit of clothes did not plense him. Groenninger ordered the suit from John Lemons and agreed to pay $30 for it, put- ting down $5 as a deposit. When the out- fit came home he refused to accept it, on the ground that it did not fit. mons sued him for the $25 balance. When the case came up yesterday Lemons contended that the best evidence of the fitness or unfitness of the suit would | be shown when 1t adorned the person of the defendant, and Justice Kerrigan ordered Groenninger to put on the clothes. Some trouble was encountered in find- ing a dressing-room, but the change was finally accomplished in the rear room of the justice clerk’s office, and Groenninger was escorted back to the courtroom clad in the finery he had refused to accept. To dress in such a place was bad, but the ordeal that followed was worse. One expert when called on to testify grabbed him by the slack of the back and nearlv jerked h'm off his feet while explaining the mysteries of fitting coats, and another bumped bim under the chin while adjast- | ing the lapels of the coat. g “8ay,” remonstrated Groenninger, “I'm tired of being a dummy to try bad-fitting clothes on and I want to get out of this.” The court made no order releasing the defendant and bLe stocd about for an %our while other testimony was being heard, afraid to sit down for fear of ‘‘bagging’’ the knees of the lower garment, that be- | longed not to him, and thoroughly un- comfortable. Justice Kerrigan, beinx well versed in the art of dressinz neatly as well as in the law, gave a verdict for the deiendant and ordered Lemons to return the $5 paid as a deposit. ROBBED ON THE FRONT. Willlam McClure, an Engineer, Held Up by Thomas McDouald and Henry Brady, Ex-Convicts. ‘William McClure, a railroad engineer, was knocked down and robbed by Thomas McDonald and Henry Brady, ex-convicts, on Fisherman’s wharf at an early hour yesterday morning.
