BT T T S S S o O S S S S N O S S S S R S S o S O A o S o o S S S S A A A S ST S T o o o A 0 N WORDS AND SIGKS ~ THAT MYSTIHED An Accused Murderer Si- lences the Dead Man’s Widow. A Very Strange Scene Was Enacted Before a Coroner’s Jury. ‘L. Palo Charged With Having Given A. Parenti a Dose of Sul- phuric Acid. An inquest was ‘held yesterday on the body of Agostino Parenti of 9 Vincent street, who died on the 2Ist from sul- phuric acid poisoning. According to the man’s dying ‘statement Luigi Palo, a hootblack, had given him a white powder on theday before Palo was arrested fcr murder. The inquest was productive of . twointéresting features—one the silencing of the widow by Palo, who made use of mysterious signs, and thé other that the widow ciaimed that she had been awin- dled out of ber homestead.; 3 , It will be remembered thaton the 20th Parenti, who was a musician, was sent to the Receiving Hospital suffering from poison and he died in a snort time aiter. " He'told a remarkable story to this effect: . That he went with Palo to the sana hiiis back of the Cliff House on -the evening “before and that Palo threw him upon the | ground and forced a white powder down his throat... It was not umntil many hours Jater that he bezam to feel its effects, he said. As stated, Palo was arrested and since then Detective Bohen and Officer George McMahon have been at work on the case. Their investigdtion, backed by the fact: that Autopsy Physician Dr. C. L. Morgan found that Parenti died from sulphurié . acid.’led them to the conclusion that Par- ° euti commiited suicide and told the story * he “did in order to get Palo “into trouble -for causing trouble petween Parenti and his wife, At the inquest yesterday Michele Votto and his wife Marie testified to Parenti calling upon them at a late hour and tell- ing them about being poisoned by Paio. He'was suffering and they took him to Dr. Lappin, who had him sent to the bospital. ue- accused Palo told a very straight story and denied he had been.to the Cliff House with Parenti on the day-in question. He accounted for every hour of the ‘day and said in the afternoon of thatday he was playing eards in a saloon. About 4:30 Parenti entered the place. A little later Palo went 1o his suppgr. 7 Mrs. Parenti testified that she and #er husband did not live Fappily tozether, as ne used to beather. In the course of -ber testimony she told of the frausaction by which she-parted with her property. She and ber husband homesteaded the lot at 9 Vincent strcet and when they had quarreled it was decidea to sell it if a cus- toner could be feund who would pay $1600 forit. As one Michele Tanno was ° likely to find a purchaser Mrs, Parenti and her husband asked him to. sell the house and Jot. According to the woman's statement . Tannotook her to Attorney’ Rossi, where she signed by a cross mark * a paper. This, she understood. was an agreement -by which she and her busband would equally divide the proceeds of the sale. Coroner Hawkins produced the paper, which was'in reality & deed conveying the homestead to Tanno for a consideration of §10. When Mrs. Rarenti learned what had been dene she was simply wild, and furiously demanded of Tanno, who was a witness, that he give her the full amount of the money. The woman had been hys- terical before, but she was frantic after her loss dawned upon her. 1t seemed im- possible to keep her quiet. It was during one of theése wild spells that a strange scene was enacted not down on the programme. Tanno was testifyving, when like a she tiger the woman sprang into the middle of the room and spoke rapidly and wildly to him. %na witness drew back as if in fear of spmething. At this point Palo half arose from his chair, snapped out one or two words that none of tne Italians present understood, and made a mysterious motion across his forehead a couple of times. ‘The woman stopped instantly and looked at Palo. Their eyes met for a brief space of time. The woman showed that she was con- quered, for she quieted instantly and withdrew far into the rear of the next room, where she remained stlent during the remainder of the inquest. What'the sign and the words meaut none but the two knew. Tanno resumed his testimony ana said that he had vurchased the honrestead of Parenti and his wife, but_he did not tell the amount he paid for it. Attorney Rossi testjtied to having made out the deed and having seen ‘“‘money passed.”” Amount not stated. Dr. Morgan told that. he itad madea chemical -analysis of Parenti's stomack and found that the man had died from sulphuric acid poisoning. Theinside of the mouth and throat were frightfully burned by the acid. Afterward Ur. Morgan stated that it would have been almost Impossible for one man 10" have forced such a poison down the throat of another- without spill- ing the stuff over and burring the vic- tim’s face. There was no external evi- dence of the acid having been spilled over the man’s face. Feilee After a large amouht of material and immaterial testimony haa been given the jury decided to find a verdict according to the facts (deatn by poiscning), and to charge Palo with muraer. Coroner Haw- kins was not pleased with the jatter find- ing, but as the jurymen expiained that it vas in order that the matter should be more thorouchly sifted he accepted it. . ° THREE BAD BOYS. They Drive Off With » Butcher’s Horse and Wagon. Eddie Rose, Willie. Tamplin, both 11 years of age, and another, boy jumped into awagon belonging to the Mariposa market, which was standing on Post and Devisadero streets yesterday aiternoon, and drove away with the rig. Policeman Tuchler saw them and jump- ing into a buggy gave chase. At‘Sutter ard Steiner streets the boys saw that Tuchler was gaining on them. They siopped the horse’ jumped out of the wagon and ran in different directions. Tuchler pursued £ddie Rose and soon caugbt him. Later he arrested the boy Tamplin, and both were held at the City Prison for “*some public institution.’” The boys said they simply wanted a ride, but the police think they meant to steal the rig and sell it if possible. —————— ‘Warcuzs, Diamonds,Jewelry, at greatly rednced prices; bui:ding 10 be removed, 5 and 7 Third at. DISOBEYED AN * DRDER OF COURT Warrants Out for the Ar- rest of Julius Thaler, a Painter. His Wife Applied for a Divorce and He Spld the Commu- nity Property. He Is Also Wanted on the Charge of Obtaining Money by False Pretenses. Julius Thaler, a painter, who has fig- ured in the police and divorce courts, has got himself into a peck of trouble. In August last vear Thaler was arrested on the complaint of Tinie Nausbaum for be- trayal under promise of marriage. She came from New York, after having saved some money and procured a situation with a family on Sutter street. While there she met Thaler'and he, hearing that she bad saved money, made love to her and finally induced her to live with him till he had procured the money. Then he abandoned her and she had him arrested. Judge Low dismissed the case, as the evi- dence was not sufficient to sustain the al- legation in the complaint. In January last Thaler married Amelia Sternseher, who had some money, and he opened a painishop at 122 Eleventh street. Snortly after their marriage Thaler began to treat his wiie shamefully, which fact is averred in a suit for divorce filed by her last October. The case was assigned to Judge Slack’s court, ana through her attorney, Fred Frey, the wife applied for and obtained an injunetion to restrain Thaler from dispos- ing of the household property, stock in the paintshop and other effects. The injunction was served upon Thaler in due course, but he puid no attention to it, and between last Saturday and Wednes- day he disposed’of all the property, and it is said he cannot be found. Judge Slacx has issued a bench warrant for his arrest for disobeying an order of the court, and it will go hard with him if hes caught. Thaler is also wanted on a charge of ob- taining money by false pretenses. Mon- day last he went io C. H. Spalding, livery- stable " keeper, Fifieeath and Valencia streets. He had with him a horse and wagon, whicih he had hired from another liveryman. It is alleged he told Spalding that the nig bulonged to him, and as he was retiring from business he would sellit cheap. A bargain was struck, and Spaid- ing got the rig for $80. The ewner of the horse and wagon dis- covered on Friday that Spalding had them, and went to his stables demanding his property. Spalding went to 122 Eleventh street and found that Thaler had sold out and disappeared. Yesterday morning he swore to a com- plaint in~ Judge Joachimsen's court charging Thaler with obtaining money by false pretenses, and the police are making every effort to discover Thaler’s where- abouts. - TRADEMARK IMITATED, Crosse & Blackwell Sue Local Dealers in Gross & Blackburn’s Gaods. Crosse & Blackwell of 21 Soho square, London, Eng., have sued the Lewis Pack- ing Company for damages and ask for an injunction to prevent the defendant from selling olive oil that is put up in bottles to imitate the bottles in which the plaintiffs sell their oil. The plaintiffs aver that they gained a valuable reputation by importing and packing Italian olive oil, which is labeled “Fine Lucea oil, imported by Crosse & Blackwell (vignette), by appoint- ment purveyors in ordinary to her Majesty, 21 Soho square, London; twelve prize medals, two gold medals, Paris, 1878.” This valuable representation, they al- lege. is being injured by the sale of an in- ferior quality of oil by the defendant under a label bearing the words: “Fine Lucca oil, imported by Gross & Black- burn (vignette), purveyors to the general public, London; highest awards wherever exhibited.” _The vignette on the Gross & Blackburn oil is said to be identical with that on the Crosse & Blackwell bottles, and it 1s averred that the names and address of Gross & Blackburn are fraudulent, and that the goodsthus packed and labeled in imitation of plaintiffs’ goods are likely to deceive the public, causing great loss to the plaintiffs, Crosse & Blackwell have also sued Lievre, Fricke & Co. on a similar suit for damage, etc., on account of bandling the Gross & Blackburn oil, and have sued O. L. Cramer and Jane Doe Cramer, doing busines: under the name of the Philadel- phia Manufacturing Company, for in- vasions of their rights by selling inferior olive oil and a quality of curry powder vottled by Gross & Blackburn in imitation of the article packed by the plaintiffs. General relief is demanded, including an accounting for losses sustained by the plaintiffs, and confiscation of all imita- tion goods found in the possession of the deiendants. —————— SHELTERING ARMS.

The Bookmakers Run Everything and Audiences Are Light—H: Will Quit the Business. Millionaire E. J. Baldwin, who has been in the East for the last five months at- tending the great races at Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, Morris Park and else- where, rewnrned here yesterday. The millionaire is looking very well after his long absence. He says the races this year on the Eastern tracks have been quite in- teresting, but in his judgment they have all been too short. “These little races,”” said the miilion- aire, “of five-eighths of a mile and three- quarters of a mile ought to be at least a mile or a mile and a quarter, and.from that up to two and a half miles. For three-year-olds even, the races ought to be | a mile or at least seven-eighths of a mile. These short races are in the interest of the bookmakers. They are the only peo- ple who profit by them; they get about all the money. That is the trouble; the man- agers down there cater to the bookmakers and the latter have it all their own way. ‘'The result is that they only get smail crowds out at the races. People won’t go and see these short runs; they arz too soon over. They won’t spend their money that way. They don’t like it. If I had my way I would give such races as we used to have eight or ten years ago-—from a mile up. I wouid get back to the cup races—two and a quarter miles. When you have these, or even one mileand a quarter races, you get a big crowd. *i did fairly welPdown there this year, but it takes most of the money to pay for- feits. That is the difficulty. Some stables had to seil out to pay expenses, and some of them didn’t pay expenses even then. 1 would like to see the newspapers advo- cate longer races. Then you get some- thing that’s worth going to see. The way it is now the starter has evervthing in his own hand. The horse that gets off first wins the race. Bus if you can getyour horses to go two or three times around they all have a show, and you find out that the people will be much better pleased and there will be a far ig"“" number of them present. That is it—it's the ‘big races that ferch out the crowds. That is the way to get the real money. They can't do it with these l.ttle short races that are ended almost as soon as they are begun. 3 “I am not going to enter my horses East any more. It costs too much to take them East, ever_vlhini considered. My horses are all for sale. I've got about fifty two-year-olds—that is, they will be two years old after January lst—and about forty head besides to sell. Iintend to go out of the racing business. I will only ruace a little here in winter.” The millionaire never looked better than he did yesterday, as he walked through the corridors of his hotél and was greeted by his old frieuds. He showed the same keen interes: in the affairs of the hotel that has caused. him to make such suc- cesses on the track and in the various en- terprises which have marked his career. STOLE THE NICKELS, Edward O’Connor Arrested for:-Open- ing and Robbing the Telephone .Boxes, Edward O’Connor, who until two months ago was a lineman in the em- ploy of the Pacific Telephone and Tele- graph Company, had two charges of petty larceny preferred.against him at the City Prison yesterday afternoon. It is alleged that since his discharge from the company he and another man have been going around carrying with them a coil of wire and a pair of climbers and representing themselves as employes | of the company. By this means they were able to rob the telephone boxes of the nickeis deposited therein. 3 The thefts were reported to the police and Detective Graham was detailed on the case. He arrested O'Comnor near his residence, on Jones street,’ near Broad- way, yesterday. One of the boxes robbed was in the office of a lumber-yard on Powell and Bay streets. When O'Connor was discharged he did not deliver up bis key to the tele- phones and while opening the box in the tumber-yard he broke the key, leaving the broken piece in ibe lock. The other charge against him is for robbing the box in the Alexandria - Hotel, Sutter and Jones streets. There are several others, but they wili not be chargéd against him, as the police say there 1s sufficient evidence to convict him on the two charges. A TORGER'S INGRATITUDE.. Charles Montgomery Swindled by Louls Cieveland Pillsbury. % Louis Cleveland Pillsbury, alias H, A. Williams, a well-known forger and ex- convict, who was arrested a few days ago by Detectives Dillon and Crockett on three charges of forgery, bad an additional charge of forgery and one ef obtaining money by false pretenses entered against him yesterday. 2 On October 10, while running a saloon at Eighth and Folsom streets, itis claimed in the warrant, he passed a forged check for $30 upon Thomas Mc¢Keon, butcher, 1145 Folsom street. McKeon presented the check at the First National Bank, and when he learned it was worthless he threatenea Pillsbury with arrest. Pillsbury wrote a letter to Charles Mont- gomery of the Brooklyn Hotel, who had urged him to lead a better tife, telling him that bhe had got into trouble about the check, that it was good and if Montgomery would take up the check he would refund the money as soon as he disposed of his saloon busines:, Montgomery, thinking that Pillsbury intended to lead an honest life, and be- lieving his statement that the check was #ood, advanced t.e money to save him from prosecution, hence the charge of ob- taicing money by false pretenses. MRS, SPAULDING'S SANITY. It Will Be Inquired Into Before Her Estate van Be Settled. Alexander Benham and Mrs. Helen Bush have filed a contest to the will of the late Mrs, Lydia Spaulding, whose estate is estimated to be worth §68,634, of which It is asserted "by the contestants that Mrs. Spaulding was of unsound mind because of her sickness, and that she was unduly influenced by Augusta F. Tracy and Mary P. Marshall, who were named in the will as beneficiaries to the extent of Mrs. Spaulding’s interest in the Bella Vista Hotel. Mrs. Spaulding was the sister of Mr, Benham and Mrs. Bush.
