THE SAN FRANCISCO ' CALL, SATURDAY. , APRIL 17, 1897 OLVER PIKE 5 YET ALIE Authentic Letters Are Received From the Supposed Victim. Now the Mystery of the Body Found in the Trunk Is Deepened. it Is Possible That the Murdered Man Was Joanes Prosper Cha- zal of France. CHICAGO, Irr., April 16.—Oliver Pike, the supposed victim of the BSalt Lake trunk mystery, is alive in Californis and has written to his mother at Fayette, Onio, where his body was supposed to be d. To the Fayette Record he has also written that he has been living under the name of Harry Price since leaving | Puget Sound and is now at Redlands. The letters to the newspaper and his mother are regarded as authentic. The reappearance of Pike deepens the trunk mystery. On March 23 of iast year Pnillip Gries and Charles Haas of Austin purchased a large box at auction from auc- tioneers who were selling a large quantity | of unclaimed freight for the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad. Two days after the box was opened at Austin and found to contain a medium-sized green trunk, | bound with iron strips. The spice be- tween the trunk and the sides of the box was packed with sawdust. Several layers of white oilcloth were wrapped around the trunk. Within the trunk was a zinc box, the cover soldered tight. This box was also wrapped in oilcloth. Within the ine ner box was found the decomposed body of a man. It had been bound with a light rope so as to fit compactly in the box, and some chemicals had been piaced around it to destroy tne flesh. The box was stipped from Salt Lake, Utah, on the morning of Febrtary 28, 1883. It wasleft at the freight office of Uunion Pacific at that place the day v & man giving the name of G. M. and was billed to G. M. Morgan, n street, Chicago. The freight was prepaid and the shipper took a train, y the same day. It| shipped as household goods and red 540 pounds. The box arrived in ago February 16 and remained in the Chicago and Northwestern ireight depot until July 28, 1843. It was unclaimed and notices sent to the address on the box| eiicited no reply. On that date it was de- | livered to the warekouse belonging to the | auctioneers, where it remained for nearly | three years. Oa February 9 it was de- | cided to sell the box at auction, to get back the freight and storage charges. A | notice was then sent to the consignee at | Salt Lake that be would be given until | February 28 to pay the charges and re- | deem it. No reply being received, the | box was soid, and the discovery of the body followed. The address at 166 South Jefferson street is the home of Mrs. Frederick A. Muelier, She knew nothing of the man Morgan, who shipped the box, except that an ex- pressman Lad called afew weeks before the box was so!d and asked for G. M. Mor- gan. An examination of the body cis. closed the fact that the skull had been fractured in two places, plainly indicating a murder. The blows were supposed to have been struck with a hatchet. Two clews were followed by the police. | Henry Devere and Bas Marcel,two French- men living here, told a story of the disap- | pearance of a friend of theirs, named | Joanes Prosper Chazal, at Salt Lake, dur- | ing Febraary of 1893. No trace of him bas ever been found. Chazal was a native of Lyons, France, and was well-to-do. The two men identified the body as being that of their friend, and strongly main- | tained that everything pointed 10 the cor- | anytning touching his past quently, in August, 1896, he made a sim- | siar application. Price gave lis address as 409 West Seventh street, this city, both occasions. The Jandlady at that number stated to a CaLL correspondent this afternoon that Price had gone to Redlands to work, but | on | | she pointedly reiused to say whether he | was married or single or that she knew ife. i Piice, or Pike, was located and inter- | viewed by telephone to-night at Redlands. | He was very loath to discuss the matte in any form, insisting that he had made a full explanation in a letter to the Fayette (Obio) Record, so far as he was concerned, and when reminded that this “explana- tion” rather deepened than cleared up the mystery he said: “There have been false revorts already printed about this matter, and it is haidly worth while to refute them all; but I shall make no explanation except in refutation of such reports.” When reminded that this was a very absurd position to take he intimated that he could clear the matter up if he had a mind to, but in so doing he might em- barrass some of his friends.

CUONFLAGKAIION 41 NAVARRO, Store, Stable, Blacksmith-Shop and Six Kesidences Concumed. UKIAH, CaL, April 16.—Word has reacbed here of a destructive fire at Na- varro, on the coast of this county, which totally destroyed a store, feed stable, | blacksmith-shop and six small dwelling- | houses. The buildings, which were notin- | sured, were the propert> of the Navarro Miil | Company and worth probably $6000. The store was occupied by J. H. Taytor & Co. with a stack of general merchandise. The firm estimates its loss at $12,000, with an insurance on the same of $5000, When the fire was first discovered it was already beyond vontrol, and though great efforts were made 10 save the prop- erty ail of the buildings were wiped out.

Her Claim Causes Consternation Among Attorneys for Dis= tant Relatlves. STOCKTON, CaL, April 16,—There was a sensation in Judge Budd’s department of the Superior Court this forenoon. An- otber claimant to the big estate of George A. Kasson cropped up to-day, and another chapter was added to the sensational liti- zation that has grown out of the probate of the will of the wealthy West Side rancher. ‘When the question came up this fore- noon of the substitution of Attorney J.

His | relatives identified the body and had it | taken to Fayette for burial | peared from Seattle July 3, 180 never heard from until a few days ago, | when he wrote to his relatives. It was | thought that Pike had been murdered | from demaging evidence he possessed | concerning the operations of an insane asy.um at Steilacocm, Wash. An inves- tigation was made, but no definite proof was ever established that Pike had been done away with by the suspected persons at the Steilacoom Asylum, and the matter was dropped. Mrs. A. T. Mosher and C. G. Goriot, cousins of Pike, were seen last night in Ravenswood. They have been in com- munication with the missing man’s mother, and stated that she believed her son was still alive and that a mistake had been made in theidentifica ion of the body found in the trunk at Austin. Presents had been received by Pike's sisters pur- porting 1o come from him, and he had aiso sent a photograph. Still ihe strange actions of the missing man in the past three years have made many of the rela- tives doubt whether he /s really still alive. They attribute the report that he is at Redlanas and the writing of the Jetters 1o the men who are interested in the morey which the missing Frenchman | left on deposit in a Salt Lake bank. In a letter received by Pike’s mother | he stated that he would return to his liome in Fayette, Ohio, some time in | June. His cousin, Mr. Goriot, intimated that Pike had gotten into some trouble out in Washington and had & purpose in wanting to lose his identity for a time. EER AT KETICENT, BUI MYSTERIOUS, Oliver Fike, Alias Harry Price, Work- " in a Laundry h CarL., April 16.—The famous 8ait “trunk mystery” has been revived in a strange and singular manner. Oliver Pike, whose remains were supposed to have been fully identified and duly interred at Fayette, Ohio, it has been ascertamed is very much alive, was a recent resident of this city and is now working in a Jaundry in Redlands, San Bernardino County. For some inexplicable reason Pike assumed the name of Harry Price and now claims to have been known by that name ever since the ghastly trunk inclosure in Chicago of June last and which was shipped from Salt Lake in 1892. Diligent inquiry here to-night by & CaLL corre-pondent resulted in establishing the following: In the month of May, 1895, Harry Price applied to Hummel Bros.’ employment bettagain? Corbett is due to fight him. Perhaps if he wins I will have something important to say.” Fitzsimmons says that McCoy has no right to expect a match with him unles he does something to warrant it. “I aucht him all be knows, and if it's a case of pupil against teacher, why the teacher | may take steps to keep the pupil in check.”” Warren Lewis, president ot the Greater New York Athletic Club, received a tele- | gram from Dan Lynch, Sharkey’s man- ager, this morning that they would ar- rive to-morrow.

Fiizsimmons was the guest of honor at the Sawdust Club’s banquet at the Hotel Bartholdi to-night. The room was hand- somely decorated with bunting and flags. Tables were set for ninety. In a speech Fitzsimmons said: “Iam still able to defend my title, for | which I Lave valiantly fought, ana hope 10 do 50 until nature goes back on me. 1 am still living in the ring, and bope that I will keep the championship in America for all time.” Juiian ip the course of & speech said that Fitzeimmons is ready to fignt any- body, and that he wouid give another chance to Corbett if the latter met and defeated all the men Bob had alre beaten.

Iow, at the same table with Washing- | ton was the representative of Denzon and | De Haven, attorneys for George W. Lindy_ who claims to be the only child and legiti- | mate son of Kasson. When Attorney Washington finished reading the startling document, which threatens to cut a great figzure in the case, all the other attorneys were on their feet with protests, and F. H. Gould asked the court not to recognize Washington as an altorney in the case, as he bad no power of attorney or authority from Mary Mann to file the petition. The others also pro- testea, but Judge Budd intimated that he did not desire to keep outany just claim- ant. Washington hurried out of the court and would tell nothing about the new claimant. He seemed to be afraid that the other attorneys wouid learn what he claimed to know about Mrs. Mann, the Arkansas widow. It was stated later that Mrs. Mann is the lezitimate daughter of Kasson, and that she is a sister of George W. Lindy, who is Kasson's legitimate scn. There seems to be no doubt but Mrs. Mary Mann has a good claim to the Kas- son estate. She isa mster of George Lindy and was born two years after he saw the light. Mary Kasson was born_in 1852 in the city of St. Louis. Georze W. Lindy, the other contestant of the will, is in California. He was born in 1850 and was given to Thomas Lindy, a fisherman, who makes his headquaiters on an island in the Missouri River. There are therefore but two people who are entitled to the Kasson wealth. The brother and sister are now trying 10 oust the other heirs and neither knows of the existence of the other. Mrs. Kasson will not be able to claim any of the estate, as it was acquired after her divorce from Kasson. Sne has tried several husbands, Kasson being her second, and she deserted him for another. According to one of the rela- tives Kasson has an illegitimate daughter living near Brentwood, but she was never acknowledged by him and will not be able to claim any of his wealth.
