14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 6, 1897, THE DOUBLE APPEARED 100 LATE Sensational Story Follow- ing on Butler's De- parture. PLANS OF ESCAPE OUT- LINED. A Quondam Brother Named Reardon Mentioned in the Plot. SOME LEITERS THAT 7TOLD ALL. Their Resemblance Said to Have Suggested a Desperate Chance for Liberty. The man from Cloverdale who when ar- rested on Drumm street on Friday night, March for being drunk, gave the name of John J. Reardon; was one of the most interested spectators at the Pacific Mail dock rday when Butler, the Australian murderer, was escorted on board the Mariposa by Marshal Baldwin v Marshal Gallagher. be remembered thst on the after Reardon’s arrest his ex- traordinary resemblance to Butlerstartled Detective Bainbridge and Corooral Gei- mann when they saw him standing among the “drunks” in the City Prison. The two officers were so amazed by the resemblance that they took Reardon to Captain Lees’ office, and the captain nearly fell off his chair with astonishment, think- ing that Butler had by some unheard-cf means escaped from the County Jail Chief Crowley was equaliy surprissd and others who saw Reardon accosted him as Butler. Reardon appeared to w! agly consent to sit for his photograph, and laughingly asked the favor of having a copy, as he had not been photographei for many years. He never called for it and he had 2 good reason for not doing so. Reardon said he was born in Ireland in 1834 and came to this country when a boy. He fouzht through the war and ultimatel asa longshoreman about ten years ago. Then he went to the country and had been there since. When ar d he gave his age as40, and he certainly looked more like 40 than 63. When this was pointed out to him he was confused for a moment and then re- marked that he nad taken good care of himseli, Another thing was pointed out to him. He gave the name of Daniel Reardon when arrested, but next morn- ing when asked what was his Christian name be said “John J.” He was again confused when told he had given the name of Daniel and put it off by saying that he wes drunk and didn’t know what he was doing. Detective Bainbridge, whose remark- able facuity for remembering faces is so i le to the department, has re- d several times since that notwith- standing Reardon’s name and nationality he must be a blood relation of Butler. And according to Reardon’s own con- fession Bainbr: s right. Reardon and Butler are prothers, and their true surname is Ashe, Butler being Richard Ashe and Reardon John J. Ashe. Behind that is the story of a plot con- cocted by the Australian murderer to make his escape from the City Prison witn the assistance of his brother, aided by the extraordinary resemblance bstween them. A gentleman of the utmost integrity, but whose abhorrence of notoriety pre- vents his name from being made pubtic, is the authority for the statement of the relationship between the two and the de tails of the plot. I was anxious to zet a last glimpse of Butler,” he said to a CALL reporter yester- day, ‘‘and went down to the Mail dock Eaturday afternoon. “I bad read the story of the two Dro- mios in THE CALL about a week before with the picture of Butler and his double. While walking around I noticed a man standing aloof from the crowd with a roll of blankets strapped across bis back. “I took & good look at him, and his re- markable resemblance to Butler at once strack me and 1 jumped to the corclusion that he wae Butler’s double. “My curiosity led me to speak to the an, and I asked bim if he was waiting to e o look at Butler. He replied that Le was, and I commented on his resemblance 10 the murderer. **You were the man that was arrested for being drunk and the policemen thought was so like Butler, aren’t you,’ I asked, and he rather reluctantly admitied that he was the man, “We cbatted for a few minutes and as I found him an interesting talker I took him 2cross to a saloon and we had three drink: Hedrank whisky and I had beer.

Here is the letter; you can read it for yourself.” “I at once recognized Butler's hand- writing from what I bad seen of it in the | newspapers,” continued the gentleman, “and that confirmed for me the truth of the man’s story. I wante1 to get pos- Sessi of it so that it could have been published, and offered him $110, all the money I had in my pocket, for it, but he said he would not part with it for $1000, as it was the first and would probably be the last he would receive from n. “‘The letter spoke of family affairs, men- tioning the place of their birth, which I am sorry to say I have forgot, and then went on to speak of the disgrace to the family if he were hanged for murder. | Then he went on to urge his brother to come to the City at once and try to save bim, as it was his last ray of hove. He described the interior of the City Prison, that the first cell was where women were kept, then there was Nc No. 2, and next to was the cell in wnith he was con- d. He wrote that every morniag about 6o’clock he was allowed to leave hiz cell 10 g0 to the sink at the end of the prison to wash his face and hands, and about the same time the drunk cell was opened and the ‘drunks’ put outside, so prison-keeper and the trusties could re- move the bedding and wash out the cell. “The scheme detailed in the letter was for his brother to come to the City, get drunk and be arrested, He was to shave bimself leaving the inch of closeiy cropped side whiskers on-each side of his face, and instructions were given as to how he should dress himself. Then ing when Batler went to wash himself he would wait till the ‘drunks’ came out of their cell and he woulid take his brother's place among the ‘drunks,’ his brother to walk on to his cell and quietly lie down until he was disturbed. By that time Butler would have been discharged along with the other ‘drunks’ and at liberty. “‘Butler ingenuously wrote that his brother coula easily prove bis identity and could say that he walked into his (Butler’s) cell by mistake. I wish I could have memorized the exact words of the letter, but that was in effect what its con- | tents were, and I was amazed at the in- genuity of the scheme. **Butler’s brother then told that as soon as he could he came to the City and at once filled up with water-front whisky, and was arrested. When he was taken to the City Prison he looked into the cell where nis brother wrote that he was con- fined, but he was not there. ‘drunks’ were ordered out he looked evervwhere, but could find no one wio re- sembled his brother, and it was not till Detective Bainbridge and Corporal Ger- mainn spoke to him that he learned his brother had been removed to the County Jail. He had not seen any paper from the time be wrote to his brother, and therefore did not know that he had been taken from the prison. He spoke to no- body about it, as the resemblance to each other might have been noticed, ana that was also why he gave the name of Rear- don and said that he was born in Ire- land. “‘After listening to this extraordinary story I asked him if he had gone to the County Jail to see his brother and he said he had been afraid, as the police had taken his picture and he was suspicious e might be arrested. “Iagain pressed upon him to give me the letter, but he refused and said all the money in the world wouldn’t buy it.

Victor Wolff, another prisoner, was placed in the ceil with him in the prison for several days before his removal and he told Wo'ff that one of his best chances of escape was when he was allowed to go | to the sink to wash himself. The prison- | keeper and ‘‘trusties” were then busy | with the ““drunks,” and it would be easy | for him to knock down the prison-keeper, seize the key of the prison door and make his escape. He was probably thinking of what he had written to his brother when he talked to Woiff about that means of escape. FOSTER'S CAUSTIC REPLY Denies All Charges of Misman- | agement and Discrim- | ination. | Mikes a Pointed Suggestion fto the } Large Land-Owners of Marin County. On behalf of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railway, President A. W. oster yesterday filed with the Railroad Commissicn the answer of that company to the complaint of J. McCue. McCue's charges are indicated in this answer. The document denies *‘that by mismanagement of its business its in- terest has been injured or the prosperity of any citizen ¢f Marin County retarde or that it makes any unlawful discrimina- tion in the prite of commutation tickets between men and women, or that there is no reason why this company cannot make Its business as prosperous as that of the Iroad companies operating in Alameda County, or that this defendant is respon- sible for the country between Sausalito Rafael being a series of cow ranches. The answer further McCue is neither a resident of San Rafael nor of any other station on the road of this company, nor a patron of said road in any “‘avers that J. 8. particular.”’ President Foster then makes a novel | point, as follows: The first demand of petitioner is that your honorable board arrange the schedule by | which trains should be run, so that the trains | of this ompany sball alternate with those of | the other ruilroad company cited to appear herein. It is respectfully submitted that this would in effect require you to mnke the inde- pendent railroad companies divide or pool their traffic, which is illegal and against the est interest of this company and the public. | In conclusion he asks that the complaint of the petitioner be dismissed, and makes |a pointed suggestion to Marin County land-owners, as foilows: The petitioner, in stating his case, has omitted to say that the present service or this company miuisters to a country which will be & maierial assistance to this company when the present owners of land feel disposed, ns they are not now, to place their land on the market, instead’ of maintaining it as they do at present, simply as a dairy country. This | company wotld be greatly pleased and bene- fited to have the owners of laud between Tiburon and San Rafael, who now refuse to sell o single lot, place’tneir land upon the | market and thereby assist this company to at least earn the taxes paid by it upon its right | of way through such section. The hearinz of this case will be had before the Railroad Commission on April 14. | TEACHERS ARE SIGNING. |"The New Pension Bill Finds Favor and Is Being Taken Advantage Of by Many. The teachers of t. City are apparenily taking kindly to the pension bill that they indorsed some time #go while it was in the hands of the Governor, for they are enrolling themselves almost unanimously and in the cases of manv schools every teacher has signed the blanks provided for the purpose. Undergthe new bill each teacher, irre- spective of rank, pays $1 ver month into the pension fund instead bf the 1 per cent. per month assessed under the former rule. This makes a fund of about $700 per month to pay the pensions of those who have outlived their ne-fulness as teachers. —————— ~Expensive Pie Gow.

Publisher Doxey Says the Little Magazine Has Help=d West- ern Writers. The Names of the Anonymous Con- tributors Will Soon Be Given to the Public. The last issue of the Lark will appear to-day. The characteristic feature is a picture of “The Purple Cow,” which made Editor Burgess famous. The cartoon is a caricature of the editor, drawn on the lines of his “‘zoops,” and something like his wonderful *‘Chewing-gum Man."” The following 1s the announcement con- veying news that the paper isto be no more: With this number the second book of the Lark is completed, and the further issuance of the Lark is suspended. There will, however, be published an Epilark, or Memoir, contatn- ing certain phases of the intimate history of the Lark, with reflections thereon. Tae Epi- lark will also contain a table of contents of the second book of the Lark disclosing the au- thorship of the articles which have appeared anonymously during the year. One of the features of the Epilark will be the disclosure of the names of those who wrote various articles that have at- tracted attention duringz the year. The current number contains the fol- lowing characteristic poem by Bruce Por- ter, which is the poetic feature of the issue: Sull to be sure of the Dawn— Stlil to be glad for the S Stiil to know fire of the bl God keep these gifts in me! Then—{ shall cleave the dark! Then, T shall breast the redoubt! Then 1 shall Glory the Lord— And go down to the grave With & shout! William E. Doxey, the publisher of the Lark and other literary novelties, thinks the little publication that is just ending its career has done much to pave the way for California writers. “Only two or three years ago,” said Mr. Doxey yesterday, “it was almost impossi- ble to get an Eastern critic to look at any- thing that came from the West. It is | road. street until the concrete has set. Had this been done on Foisom street there would have been nothing in the appearance of the foundation to attract attention. Folsom street has had extremely heavy travel on the ex- posed concrete foundation, and it took 8 test like that of this moraing to show that it Was all right. “It seems,” said Mayor Phelan, ‘‘that the coniractors are the parties who are guilty of neglect in not properly protect- ing the work. The Superintendent of Streets had called their atiention to it and planks were laid to protect it, but subse- quently removed by the contractors be- cause the people of the neighborhood took them away. The work will now bs done properly, because this office and the Su- perintendent of Streets are in thorough accord. Idesire to exouerate the Super- intendent of Streets from any implied blame.” Mayor Phelan explained the matter of the investigation of the concrete before the meeting of the Supervisors. He stated that the Superintendent of Streets had not been derelict in his duty, but had been more than usually vigilant in watching the work. The fault lay, he said, with the contractors, who had failed to protect the concrete after it was laid. e WADE IS WANTED. The Ex-Assistant Secretary of the Board of Education in Trouble. Frenk A. Gardner, a money-broker, swore to & complaint in Judge Low’s court yesterday, charging George W. Wade, ex-assistant secretary of the Board of Education, with obtaining money by false pretenses. The complaint alleges that on August 24 last Wade went to Gardner, and on the representation that he would pe entitled to receive a warrant from the Auditor for his November salary he received $175. Afierward Gardner found that Wade had previously assigned in writing the warrant and money, and he was out $175 Wade was arrested late Ia-t evening. 08 BALBOK BOULEVAD The New Roadway to the Sea Is Progressing Rap- idly.

Last week a report was made that the work on Folsom street was poorly per- cut to pieces 80 as to be of little use for a foundation for the bitumen pavement that was to be placed tnereon. At the re- quest of Mavor Phelan the work was re- examined yesterday by Ernest McCul- lough, the consulting civil engineer to the Mayor. Mr. McCullough presented the following report to Mayor Phelan: We took up several pieces of the foundation, and found tEem to be six inches in thickness, except where the teams had been permitted o travel over the work. I believe that where the materinl was less than five or six inches thick it was due to the teaming and also to the standing of horses for long periods in one lace and consequent pawing of the street. ¥nere I found iteasy to peneirate on Friday was in places where the Rundation was well worn and loosened by travel. But the concrete was four weeks down, and had uot set nearly as weli as it should have done in that time. This msy have been owing parily to the weutiier and partly to the cement. ut it is as good & job as the greater part of street foundationsin this City. My previous report was based on the surface indications, which are very bad, and make the street look more like macadamized street than & concrete foundation for bitumen. The incident, however, is of value, as it Shows & few changes are Tequired in the methods of doing streét work in this City. In the first place, contractors should be permifted to lay only one side of a street at a time; and, sec- ondly, the side out of use should be bacri- caded’ end av ordinance passed to prevent any one destroying the barricade or using the formed and that the concrete had been | alone will consume hundreds of dollars. This work, together with the macadam- izing will take far more funds than all that is to be spent in grading. Three tramway trains of four cars each were put on yesterday to carry earth to the big fill. It will take at least 50,600 yards of earth and sand to complete it. The Giant Powder Company has do- nated powder, caps and fu-e to be used in the quarry work. To further aid the cause a grand benefit vaudevilie and ball will be given, under tha supervision of Mrs. Dr. Terry, in Cali- jornia Hall, on Friday evening, April 9, at which 25 cents admission fee will be charged.

CLOSE CALL FOR CHIEF CROWLEY Ptomaine Poison Lurked in the Luscious Oyster L That He Ate. Violent Sickness of the Stomach and Intense Pain Caused Alarm. For Several Hours the Patient Was in a Critical Conditioa, but Is Now Out of Danger. Patrick Crowley, Chief of Police, had a close call Sunday night, and came very nearly retiring from office without the consent of the Board of Police Com- missioners. z ; He was feeling so well Saturday evening just before going home that he fancied a dish of oysters would agree with him. Accordingly he entered a restaurant down- town and was served with oysters. When he reached home and went to bed he was all right, but early Sunday morning he was seized by a violent sicknessof the stomach. 8o ereat and alarming was his distress that his physician, Dr. Keeney, was summoned. The doctor, noting the symptoms and ascertaining whatthe Chief nad been eating, pronounced the sickness a case of ptomaine poisoning. The poison is produced by a slight decomposition resulting from. chemical changes, and when admitted to the stomach causes intense pain and distress. For several hours the Chief wasina critical condition, and subsequenily suf- ferred so much that he obtained no sleep Sunday night. Last evening he was much better and considered out of danger, but, on the ad- vice of his physician, the Chief was not allowed to receive callers. Perfect, un- disturbed repose was what the physicians prescribed, and the ladies of the family carried out the orders of the medicaldirec- tor and permitted no one outside of the familv circle to see the patient. It was stated that, owing to the Chief’s excellent health and peri¢ct physical con- dition, his system responded io the medi- cine adminisiered, #nd, therefore, his re- covery may be speedy.
