FRESNO, CaAL., Dec. 23.—The publica- tion this morning of the story associating the name of Charles Schweizer with the attempt to assassinate Solomon Lehman in July last has set gossip running wild | up a of this ciry. District Attorney Alva E. Snow is said to have in the statements of witnesses enough evidence to warrant kim in going to trial immediately if the Grand Jury shall find an indictment. He has been | plied with questions all day iong by | friends of the persons concerned as to the character and strength of this evidence. It is said, moreover, that Lehman him- self, having been out of town for some days, was not aware of the char, against Schweizer until 3 1til to-day had listed him as among his cipsest friends; until to-day has been un- able to guess why any man should at- tempt his life. ! Lehman is a man who is not afraid of | being suotm the open. It i told of him | his men, employed at the Pine Ridze | sawmill, taking offense one day at some- thing he had done made a uniled attack son him. Single handed he met them n two minutes was on the offensive, | ree of the men having fallen before his | blows and the others taking to flight. | Schweizer isa man of quiet demeanor | t build. Just what attitude Leh- man wiil assume under the revelations | t place his trusted friend in the light hiring assassins to undo him it will be | interesting to note as the days run on, es- | pecial s it will be remembered that the | assassin did wound and very nearly cause | ‘the “death of his (Lehman’s) little | daughter. Schweizer still 1nsists, as stated in these | dispatches yesierday, that the charges agsinst him grow out of a futile attempt to blackmail him. He claims to'be able to prove this. On the other hand, Detect- | ive Harrison, at whom this allegation is aimed, smiles and says the proof isall on the otherside. A chapter of the story has developed to- day—a second chapter in the same sensa- tional line as the first—which explains how the mystery of the attack upon Leh- man took this form of clearinz up and | how it came to get into the District At- torney’s office and finally to be made pub- Jic. It deals with a second attemptat assassination, the victim in this instance being Sam Ralston, a well-known man about town. The hiread assassin in this case happened to have no liking for the business, and besides was a friend of Ralston, and made him aware of the intent against him. Ralston was to have been sacrificed be- cause he had become aware of several de- tails of the Lebhman affair, threatening the safety of the instigator. Some:hing of the whole story must be repeated, as it is told here to-day, with the details that bave evolved since the publication of this morning, in order that the somewhat complicated circumstances may he prop- erly understood. Solomon Lehman, lately proprietor of the sawmill on Pine Ridee, was a friend of Charles Schweizer, the Mariposa-street harness-dealer. They did considerable business together one way and another, and Lehman became indebted to Schwei- zer in a considerable amount. Schweizer, by way of securing himself, induced Leh- man to take out an insurance policy upon hss life for some $5000 in his (Schweizer’s) | name. Besides this he held securities to | the amount of about $3000. Together | these amounted to much more than Leh- man’s indebtedness. Schweizer himself, it 1s said, paid the premium on the insur- ance policy, emounting to $130. It wae shortly after that Lehman, rid- | ing with his daughter in a buggy, about | dusk, on a lonely road toward Pine Ridge. was shot at from: bebhind by a man whom they passed on the road and was slightly wounded. His daughter was more se- verely burt, her life for a time being de- | spaired of. The witnesses in the casa begin their idence at this point. F.de Marais tells this story to the District Attorney: He | .says Schweizer met bim one day and re-| marked that he would “like to kill this man Lenman.” To this De Marais re- plied, jokingly: «“Well, I have a shotgun, if you’d like to borrow it.”* «“A few days after this,’’ continues De Marais, “ore John Barker, who has since died of poison, came to me, saying that Schweizer told him that I had a shotgun. He said lLe wanted to borrow it to shoot doves. Tloaned him the gun and he went away. That same evening Lehman was hot with a shotgun. My gun was after- ward found in a gulch near the place, Barker returned to me without the gun. He called me to the back of the saloon where we were and said to me: “I have shot Lehman, and I threw your gun in a ditch.’ * ‘Whny! whatdid you do that for?'I said. “No matter,” he said, ‘here is a hat. 4 ng |- | of De Marais’ story. | . 'RETURN Boat After Boat Got in Vesterday and in Consequence There Was a Glut in the Herring Market. The Run of Fish Was a Remarkably Geod One, and Herrings Were Sold at a Big Loss. Occasionally a Box Was Given Away at 25 Cents, and Yet Again Other Boxes Were Sold at Less Than Half a Cent a Pound. OF THE HERRING FLEET. Keep it and it will serve as a guarantee of | the value of the gun.’ “He offered me an old hat, which I took. Barker then left the saloon.” De Marsis says he tock the hat some days afterward to his friend, Sam Ralston, and tola him to keep it as it micht be of | value to him thereafter. Thatis the end | Meantime there was a great deal of talk about the mysterionsshooting at Lenman. Barker was arrested, the case was post- | poned from day to day and finally he was | discharged for lack of evidence. Barker | was a ne'er-do-well, given to drinking, | carousing and the use of morphine. Shortly after his discharge he hired a buggy, drove out of town and was fourd dead from an overdose of morphine, the ; doubt remaining still as to whether he took it intentionally or through mistake, Sam Ralston takes up the story here. He says that he kept the hat in his pos- session for some time; that De Marais came to him frequently to. inquire about | it; tnet this aroused his interest in the bit of wearing apparel and he began to make inquiries; that finally de Marais told him | all that has been told here and that | Lethen put the hat in the safe in the| Fresno Savings and Loan building for | safekeeping. | Now De Marais takes up the story | again. He was a friend not only of Rals- ton but of Schweizer, as appears in the! Jatter’s first approach to him. He at least | kept up the dppearanc: of this friendship. | He told Schwetzer about his having re- | ceived the hat from Barker and how he | had subsequently tarned it over to Rals- ton and that Ralston had it in his posses- sion and was interesting himself in the circumstances attaching toit. The hat, | it should be told here, is said to have been | identified by a number of persons as one formerly worn by Mr. Schweizer. ‘When De Marais explained to Schweizer all this about Ralston Schweizer, accord- ing to De Marais, made adirect proposi- tion to him to kill Ralston, saying that he (Schweizer) would make it an object. “] was so astonished,” says De Marais, “that I did not know just what to do. ‘How could I do such a thing? I haven’t even a pistol,’ I said.” “‘Qh,” said Schweizer, “if that is all thatstands in the way come here to-night and TI'li give you a pistol.” He went on to argue with me. He said: ‘You are the very fellow to do it. You are on terms with him: you could be drinking in a saloon and get into a quarrel and shoot him in self-defense, or, if you prefer, you could catch bim on a dark road.’ “Well,” continues De Marais, “I went away telling him I would be back in the evening. I went at once to Ralston and told him the whole thing. Detective Har- | rison, a friend of Ralston’s, had been told much of this and had interested himself in the matter. Ralston ana Isaw him, and they arranged to watch me and see if they could what took place. Schweizer had told me to come to the back door of his shop and he would there give the gun after dark. Instead of doing so I wert intothe shop. There were several persons in the shop—customers—and Schweizer frowned and motioned with his head, in- | dicating that I should go around. I went out, down a liltie ailey at the sile of the shop, and pretty soon Schweizer came out the back door of the shop and handed me arevolver and told me to make good use of it. Harrison was concealed near by and saw the transfer. I went away and soon joined Ralston and Harrison. I gave the gun to Ralston and he kept it until the next day. I then decided to go back and see Schweizer to see what he might have to say. We de- cided that 1 Lad better take the revolver with me as he might ask for it. When I went back Schweizer charged me with having done nothing and demanded the | gun, and I zave it back to him.” This enas De Marais’ second installment. Ralston is said not to have relished the idea of having men hired to shoot him. He consulted with other friends and upon their advice he visited the District Attor- ney and told him all about it. Subse- quently De Marais and Harrison went be- fore the same official and told what is re- related here with even greater circum- stances and detail. » Among other bits of testimony it is re- ported that Mrs, Lemnan said, when in- formed of what was going forward—that isin the District Attorney’s office—that it ; Conbinued on Fourth Page, l MASKED BANDITS BOARD A TRAIN St. Louis and Kansas City Express Captured by Qutlaws. ' Uncouple Engine and Baggage Cars From the Passenger Coaches. Start Ahead With Their Prize, After Driving the Trainmen Back. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 23, — Train 49, the St. Louisand Kansas City Express, was held up near Blue Cut to-night by train-robbers. The train, in charge of CTonductor Nichols and Engineer Mead, left here on time at 8:45 . ». When the Missouri Pacific crossing, one and a half miles east of Independence, was reached at 9:25 o’clock, three men boarded the engine and compelied the engineer and firemen to descend. The expressand bag- gage car were then uncoupled from the re- mainder of the train and the robbers started eastward with the locomotive and two cars. The express-car was in charge of Messenger Nichols. When the train reached the Missouri Pacific crossing a red light was swung across the track, and when the train was brought to a standstill the men covered the engineer and fireman with guns. Con- ductor Nichols came forwara with hislan- tern to see what the trouble was, when he too was cevered. He was asked to pass over what funds he had, and he handed one of the men §4. When asked if it was company money he replied “No,’’ and the bandit handed him back $2, saying he would make an even divide. Then he was marched back and compelled to cut the baggage and express cars loose from the train. Horace Matthews, gateman on the train, and Rear-brakeman Rogers, started down from the train fo see what was the trouble. They were ordered back. Some of the women on the hysterical and hid their valuables, and after the robbers had pulled out with the engine and cars some were *unable to find where they had secreted them. The Black Crook company was on board. Exvpress officials here say the run, so far as money is concerned, was light, but they have a heavy run of freight, the safe con- taining only three mail packages of jew- elry. The baggage car was numbered 13, and contained the baggage of the Black Crook Compauy, which recently stranded in this city. When the train had passed Glenwood the express car was entered and a few small packages were taken. The en- gine was then cut from the cars and run a mile further on, where it was abandoned and killed, and the robbers tuok to the timber. The ‘“‘Blue Cut,” as itis called, about three miles from kunsn City, near Inde- pendence, has been tha scene of several hold-ups. It is here that the James brothers in October of 1881 committed the last of a series of similar crimes. ill'’ Ryan, one of 1he gang, was convicted of having taken part in it and was sentenced to twenty-five years in the penitentiary. “Bob" Kord, who afterward came into prominence by shooting Jesse James, was also a member of the party. Both the James boys are said to have been in the affair although Frank has always con- tended that he had nothing to do with it, Much plunder was secured and the rob- bery was conducted with that peculiar air of bravado so characteristic of the opera- tions of the gang. They went through the cars, aman in advance bolding an open bag in which the passengers were politely but firmly advised by another man with a revolver to deposit what valuables they had. One of them alternated his request train .became |’ with quoting Scripture and at times des- canted facetiously upon the women being treated with a most ceremonious polite- ness. Many of them, who were greatly alarmed, were toid to quiet themselves. A vigorous pursuit was begun by the authorities and railroad company, but it was a long time before the real parties were known, although the James boys were always suspected of having been re- sponsible for it. . AT SEA WITHOUT FO00D. Pitiable Plight of a Storm-Beaten Danish Barkentine, Whose Captain Refuses to Abandon Her. NEW YORK, N. ¥ . Dec.’ 23.—The Deteh oil-tank stean: “Brederhaven, Captain Ninnes, which arrived this morn- ing from Antwerp in ballast, sighted the Danish barkentine Solid of Haugesund, on December 15 at 7 . M. The barkentine was burning a ‘“flare-up’’ light and when Captain Ninnes brought the steamer within hailing distance, the captain of the barkentine shouted that he was short of bread and asked to be supplied. Cap- tain Ninnes told the barkentine’s crew to | lower a boat, but the answer came back that their bulwarks and boats were stove. | Accordingly, Third Officer Edward Born- | haupt and a boat's crew lowered a lifé- | boat and carried a supply of bread, beef | and potatoes to the Solid. On his return | to the steamer Bornhaupt said the bark- entine was in a bad plight. Her bulwark was almost gone and the seas washed across her d-cks continually. Captain Ystinas of ths Solid refused to abandon her. There were twelve men all told aboard of her and they seemed to be in a pitiable condition. Bornbaupt thought her chances of living through a gale of wind were but slight. Shortly after the Bremerhaven’s boat returned to her the weather came on thick and the Solid was lost to view: The Solid is an iron bark- entine of 340 tons burden and was built at Hamburg, in 1859. SNOWSTORMS —— IN THE EAST. Holiday Traffic /s Seriously Interrupted mn New York and Other Atlantic Coast Cilties. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 23.—S8now fell at intervals throughout the day, making 'street traffic difficult in the city and in- terfering considerably with railway busi- ness in the suburbs. Nearly all incoming trams were behind schedule time and those from the north and west report bad drifts, owing to the high winds which have prevailed.' In Brooklyn and the upper part of this city there is good sleigh- ing for the first time this wiater. The street-cleaning department had sev- eral thousand carts at work and the most important streets were kept comparatively clear. The storm caused a lull in the holiday trade at the shops, and: the de- | livery systems and express companies, whose facilities have been taxed to the utmost by the heavy trade, were given an opportunity to catch up. In Jersey City the police were called upon to prevent fights between trolley- car empioyes who ran sweepers over the cartracks and piled the snow up in: front of stores and merchants who put gangs of men at work shoveling snow back upon the tracks. Th- trolley companies finally agreed to remove the snow and hostilities were averted. Reports from the interior of this State and New England are that from ten to i fourteen inches of snow fell and the roads are being operated with difliculty. ool b KENTUCKY VENGETTA ENDS. Peace Restored in the Town of Mayfield After the Lynching of Two Citizens. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 93.—The re- ports of the race war at Mayfield have been greatly exaggerated. There has been no trouble since the killing of Wil- liam Suett (colored) early this morning. Suett was only 18 years of age. No fur- ther, outbreak is apprehended, as the bet- ter class of people havedetermined to sup- press vengeance, Thisaiternoon a mass- meeting was held at the Courthouse and resoltitions passed denouncing the lynch- ing of George Finley and Jim Stone, the killing of Will Suett and the burning of property. At 9 o'clock to-night the town was quiet, with a few guards patrolling the streets. Only about fifty men came here from neighboring towns and these have returned home. L bl-CONGRESSHA W, .

Clark. Mr. Hatch has resided in Marion County, Mo., for the past forty years and hasa wife and two children—L. 8. Hatch of Memphis, Tenn., and Miss Sallie, who is athome. - WEDS A FRENCH NOBLE. Mrs. Fred May of California Is Led to the Altar by Count Louis Dandigne of Paris. PARIS, FraxcE, Dec. 23.—The marriage of Count Louis Dandigne of Paris to Mrs. Frederick May of ‘California was cele- brated in the chapel of the Papal Nuncio in this city at noon to-day. In the ab- gence of the Nuncio, Archbishop Ferrata, the ceremony was performed by Monsig- | nor Cel'i, the Auditor of the Papal delega- tion to France. The bride wore a costume of blue velvet. The witnesses of the groom were the Marquis of Danigne and Baron Charette. The bride’s witnesses were her brother, Mr. Coleman, and United States Embassador Eustis. After the ceremony a weading breakfast was served in the bride’s apartments in the Hotel Vendome. DA, POPE AND CiREDINLLS. His Holiness Expresses His Good Wishes for the New Year. ROME, Itavy, Dec. 23.—The Pope re- ceived the Sacred College of Cardinals this morning and expressed to them his good wishes for the new year. His Holi- ness delivered an address to the Cardi- nals, in which he reviewed -the situation at home and abro.d and deplored the situation of,the Papacy in Italy. The Pope also said that his intentions in the matter of having made overtures to King Menelek of Abyssinia, with a view of ob- tainine the release of the Italian soldiers who were held by the Abyssinian King as prisoners -of war, had been misrepre- sented. i G G EARL RUSSELL’S TRIBULATIONS, His Residence Burned to the Ground dy s Epemies. . LONDON, Exg., Dec. 23.—The residence of Earl Russell at Maidenhead, on the Thames, was burned to the ground this | others, which is now under adjournment morning. The fire was undoubtedly of in- cendiary origin, as Earl Russell hasrecent- Iy recerved menacing letters, some of them threatening him with personal injury and others threatening the burning of his property. There is no doubt that the fire is one of the results of the action for crim- inal lipel brought by Earl Russell against his mother-in-law, Lady Scott, and because of the death of Frederick Kast, one of the defendants, and the illness of Lady Scott. RS IS BN YAQUIS ON THE WARPATH. Many Settlers Murdered and Their Prop- erty Destroyed. CITY OF MEXICO, Mexico, Dec. 23.— The Government authorities here are in receivt of telegraphic advices from Her- mosiilo, State of Bonora, that a large body of Yaqui Indians areagain on the war- path and that a number of settlers in the Yaqui River Valley have been murdered and their property destroyed. One of the | hostile bands of Yaquis is in the neigh- borbood of Nogalee, Ariz., and a raid on that town is feared. BOTH COMBAT. 18 WOUNDED., Sertons Outcoms of a Duel Between German Nobles, STUTTGART, Geruaxy, Dec. 23.—A duel resulting in the serious wounding of both combatants was fought yesterday near this city between Baron Wangen- heim, ex-secretary of the German Lega- tion at Copenhagen, and Count Uxkull Cyvllenbaid. The wounds of both combat- ants were so severe as to render necessary their removal to a hospital. e Windfall to a Halifax Family. HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Dec. 23. — Thomas Crowell, an old Hants County resident, and his near relatives have re- ceived advices from England establishing their right to a fortune of £6,000,000, which bhad remained unclaimed fer years. There are twenty-one heirs, each of whom will receive about $1,500,000. The Crowell family emigratea from England to Rhode Island in 1680, and at the outbreak of the revolution removed to Nova Scotia. LAUNCHING OF THE ANNAPOLIS. The New Gunboat Christened by the Late Admural Porter's Granddaughter and Successfully Floated. ELIZABETHPORT, N. J., Dec. 31.—The gunboat Annapolis was successfully launched at 10:30 o’clock this morning at the Crescent shipyard here. Miss Georgia Porter, granddaughter of the late Admiral Porter, christened the new addition to the navy. The Annapolis, authorized by act of Congress July 18, 1895, is the fourth of the new additions to be launched, the Vicksburg, Newport and Marietta having already slipped off the ways. The Annapolis’ length over all is 200 feet and between perpendiculars 168 feet. The mean draught is 12 feet, which ex- perts say is light enough to permit her navigating shallow waters, such as are found on the China coast and the rivers of this country. Her engines will develop 800 horsepower and her contract speed is twelve knots. Her main battery consists jof six4-inech rapid-fire guns and a sec- ondary battery of four G-pounders and two 1-pounder rapid-fire guns. The new vessel will have a complement of nine officers, ten marines and 125 blue-jackets. CRUSHE!N 10 DEATH, The Shocking Fate of aw Aged Chicago Lady. CHICAGO, In, Dec, 23.—Mrs, F. A. Parmelee, 75 years old, and the mother- wn-law of W. 8. Seaverns, a member of the Board of Trade and of the firm of 1. N. Ash & Co., mst a horrible death this afternoon under a cable train on State street, within sight of thousands of Christmas shoppers. Mrs. Parmelee was buying Christmas presents, ana had sev- eral small bundles in ber arms. Cable cars and vehicles were thicker than usual between Madison and Washington streets. Snow was falling, and this added to tha woman’s inability to get across State street safely. When on the cable track a train knocked ber down and life was quickly crushed out. e University Teacher Hangs Himself. " DES MOINES, Iowa, Dec. 23.—A Sioux Falls special to the News says Professor ‘E. B. McKay, a teacher in the Sioux Falls University, committed suicide to-day by hanging. l STRANGERS 10 TRUTH Huntington's Tentacles at Los Angeles Caught Falsifying. WHITE SCORES THEM BY TELEGRAPH. Refutes Misstatements Made by Corthell Before the Com- mission. ARGUMENTS CPENED FOR SAN PEDRO. Salt Lake’s Chamber of Commerce D:clares for the Free Harbor. LOS ANGELES, CArn., Deec, 23.—Con sternation reigns in Huntington’s harbor camp here to-night. When the commis- sioners adjourned yesterday’s session it was understood from Engineer Hood, who is supposed to have the Southern Pacific's cohorts in charge, that only a few minutes would be required this forenoon for the introduction of some purely disinterested testimony regarding Port Los Angeles as a favorite harbor among seamen. It de- veloped during the examination that all of these sea captains who made state- ments, with the exception of Alexander of the steamer Santa Rosa, had, to employ the considerate and graceful langnage of Engineer Corthell, been ‘retained” by Mr. Huntiington. Engineer Hood assured the board that Captain Alexander was not partial to either side, but had come at “our’’ request. In order to forestall any questions or guesswork as to Captain Pillsbury of the Southern Pacific collier Minenia, Hood explained that there was no doubt of the fact that this astuce sea- man was in “our” service. This 1s one of the few instances where Mr. Hood was absolutely certain about anything. Captain Alexander proved a most un- satisfactory witness for Huntington. Like Captain Dornfield yesterday, he disproved every statement respecting destrucfive “southeasters in Port San Pedro. Alexan- der and Dornfield agres that the heaviest winds at both places were from ‘‘sou’-sou’- west.”’ Ex-Senator Cole’s discomfiture was apparent while Captain Alexander was answering questions from different members of the board. Alexander began by saying that he had been in charge of various vessels up and down this coast for twenty-three years. When asked about Port Los Angeles, he said that he had made about 300 landings at Huntington’s whart, and had always succeeded fairly well in discharging pas- sengers and freight—*"but, of course,”’ said Alexander, “it is not like SBan Diego. One time my lines parted, and I was delayed more than once, perhaps, in receiving freight.” As to San Pedro, the same was true, except that vessels like the Santa Rosa anchor at the latter vplace. He had ai- ways found bolding sufficient in the outery harbor at San Pedro. When asked to compare the different ports he said that Santa Barbara was the best and safest at all times. In thirteen years he had never failed to make a landing there. Port Har- ford was good, too, but he had been com- pelled a few 1imes to pass that port by on account of rough seas—never Santa Bar- bara or Port Los Angeles. As to Redondo, he had been compelled to pass that port a few times only, and then on account of west winds. A stifled titter went around the room when Captain Alexander was asked where he would have built a wharf along this southern coast. His suggestive reply was, ‘‘Where I had the most in terest.” Captain Johnson of the steamer Whites- boro, a lumber carrier, was the next wit- ness. He had landed some twelve times at Port Los Angeles and had never ex- perienced any accident. He had landed a half dozen times at San Pedro. His ves- sel is of 145 tons and draws thirteez and a half feet loaded. It carries principally railroad ties for the Southern Pacific. He had never experienced currents at Port Los Angeles. Mr. Hood bere announced that two other captains, not in the railroad em- ploy, were not on hand, and he would not hereafter expect to present their testi- wony. Captain Pilisbury, the next witness, saj@l his marine experience on the Pacitic Coasg covered a period of four years. He had never had any trouble landing at the Huntington wharf. On November 25 lasg there was a heavv gale in Santa Barbara Channel, but the landing was made in ex- cellent shape. He had never landed a NEW TO-DAY. - ey Christmias --~ Gifts JROCKERS '~ 227 POST 3T. 217 BUSH ST
