WHAT WA3 SEEN BY MICHAEL | RICE. | | An intimation has been given out that | He Had Not Gone More Than Four Blocks Before the Murder W s " Committed, Though nothing developed yesterday in the mysterious Hoffman tragedy to defi- nitely determine whether the Battery street merchant’s death was the result of | murder or suicide, information was ob- tained tending to exonerate Bookkeeper Figel from any implication in the death of Hoffman. ‘ The most striking matter was the ap- pearance of an entirely new witness whose statement made to Chief Lees | would indicate that Hoffman was alive at | Hoffman himself had fired these shots, making a clean wound which powder marks or burns. While this shot mav have for a few mo-l no! ments stunned Hoffman, it was necessarily fatal, nor of a character to produce long-continued inconvenience. The third shot was then fired by pressing the barrel of tne revoiver tightly against the fleshy portion of the cheek. Then close contact of the pistol with the cheek is what prevented any powder burns showing on the outside of the face. This shot was the one that ended the life of the deceased merchant. Where the second shot entered the head Chief Lees declares there were plain indications of singeing and powder-marks. During all these explanations Chief Lees carefully refrained from saying that but was positive in asserting that hecould have fired them without inconvenience orany unusual effori. Considerable importance has been at- tached to a receipt for $9500, produced by Figel, which he claims to bave recived trom Hoffman as a voucher for money drawn from the business by the Iatter. This receipt is now in possession of Roth- child & Ach, ihe attorneys for tne firm. ibe receipt is a forgery. 1ts possession by Figel isexplained by that gentleman. He declared yesterday that Hoffmsn, according to agreement between the part- ners, was entitled to draw a certain fixed amount per month for his personal and family use and that during the past two months Hoffman had drawn in varying sums at different times an aggregate of $9500 over and above his stipulated aliow- ance. These amounts were not charg against Hoffman until they had r gaied $9500. When the charge was finally made in the cashbook by Fige! the latter requested a receipt from Hoffmann asa matter of protection to himseif, What | these moneys were used for by Hoffman Figel asserts he does not know. He denied that he had any knowledge of Hoffman having used any of this money in piaying the races, in stock- These Illustrations are made fr taken at the Morgue on the order of Chief Lees. left shows where the first shot left its effect; thaton the right the| perforations made by thz second an: second shot entered the head.

No. 1 is where the| e last and fatal shot entered the the very time that Figel was voyaging | toward his home in San Rafael. | In one case it was claimed on the alleged authority of Mr. B iss, at whose | place Figel has been in the habit of hav- ing his clothes made, that the bookkeeper | did not have an appointment with the |Jn|!o'0n Tue:day, as he stated to Chief | Lees. Mr. Bliss now emphatically and indig- | nantly denies that e had said 1o any per- | son that Figel did not have an appoint- ment with uim to try on anew suit of clothes on Tuesday. He declares that | such an appointment wes made and that be has a distinct recollection of it. Chiet Lees, while still refraining from committing himself to the theory of sui- cide, is most strenuous in the assertion that the wounds found ou Hoffman counid have been inflicted by the dec-ased with- out his having assumed any unusual posi- | tion or indulged in any contortions. He alo ridiculed all the statements and theo- ries that have hitberto been advanced that the shots were fired from some dis- tance, His opinion is that the wounds were | mnflicted at extremely close range— in fact, that the pistol at each shot was in | contact with the face or head of Hoff-| man. | Chief Lees yesterday made an explana- | tion of how the wounds might have been | inflicted by Hoffman, using photographs | which had been oraered taken of the de- | ceased the day after the tragedy, while | the body was lying at the Morgue. According to his explanation the first snct was fired with the right hand while Hoffman was sitting with his right side to his desk, resting his head upon his left | band, with hiselbow on the desk, the bead reclining toward the left. The shot passed | through’ ihe brim of Hoffmau’s bat, strik- ing the wall a few inches above and at the | back of the desk,ricochetting thence to the partition on the right of the desk and thence to & chair, on the seat of which it fell and where it was found. | The powder trom this discharge discol- | ored the under portion of the rim of the hat and a!so the right side of the fore- head. Hoffman evidently then arose, changed the pistol to his left hand, pressed the barrel against the upper por- tion of the side of the head, just back of the forehead, and fired another shot. | NEW TO-DAY. | Telephone Grant 33 and 38. : BEN S o IMPORTING GROCERS, 236 SUTTER STREET, North Side, above Kearny.

This morning at 9 o’clock the Coroner’s jury wili visit_the premises of Hoffman, Rothehild & Co. in order to view them | and be able to more intelligently render a | correct verdict when the inquest is held. | An important witness in the cae vol- | f untarily came forward yesterday and made a statement which should relieve | Theodore F.gel, the cashier, from any more insinuations and_innuendoes, He is Leopold L. Korn, who bas a cigar-store at 120 Ca.ifornia street. He is a young man and did not desire to get himselt mixed up in the case, but af reading the evening papers on Saturda night his conscience troubled him, and & made up his mind to tell what he knew and le..ve the police to decide what it was worth. Accordingly, accompanied by Dr. Bun- nell, of the Receiving Hospital, he called upon Chief Lees yesterday afterncon and made his statement, which he had pre- | viously made to a reporter of THE CALL. | *Iclosed up my stor ing,” he said, “‘between 6 uccomf!nled by a friend walked slowly along Front sireet to Market, and along Market westward. “As we were crossing the gore atjBat- tery, Bush and Market streets I noticed two men standing talking in front of Hoffman, Rotbchild & Co.’s store; but | what first attracted my attention was the fact that the front door of the store was open. I looked around and saw Ferrenbach, the watchman, in front of Meyer-tein's new building ‘on the northeast corner. His back was toward Hoffman, Rothchild & Co.’s store, and he was walking away in the opposite direction. “‘I remarked to my friend that Ferren- bach was a nice sortof a watchman not to see that Hoffman’s store door was open, as I knew that ali the wholesale stores in | that neighborhood are closed between 5 and 6 o’clock. “laon’t know Hoffman; neither do I know Kigel, so I cannot say who the two men were. 1could not give any descrip- tion of the men, as my attention was at- tracted more by the open door than by them. Idon’t think they were talking in an excited manner, because if they had 1 presume I would have noticed it. “There was 10 Wagon nor dray near the place, 50 one of tbe men couldn’t have been Lauer. The two men on the one cor- ner and Ferrenbach on the other were the only men within my range of vision in these directions. “To the best of my recollection this would be between 6:30 and 6:35 p. x., nearer the latier than the former I should think. “Idia not wunt to get mixed up in the case, but when I saw that Figel was being talked about and having read that he took the 6:30 7. m. boat to San Rafael, I thought it was only just to him that I should tel! what Usaw.”” If one of the two men seen by Korn standine 1n front of the store was Hoff- man, as it is natural to suppose, Figel was at that time on board the ferry-boat and Wwae not, therefore, the last person seen talking with Hoffman, even if Lauer, the drayman, should be wrong as to the time he savs he spoke to Hoffman and loaned him $20, which he stiil sticks to as correct. Assuming that Hoffman was one of the two men who was the other man, and why has he not come forward and frankly admitted that he was conversing with Hoffman it he has nothing to be ashamea 3 3 It was stated by Ferrenbach that it was the fact of finding the door in a condition which indicated that some one had at- tempted to lock it but had failed to secure t. though the bolt of the lock was fully gation resulting in the discovery of the uying merchant strerched out on the floor. It 'is possible that after Hoffman, if Hoffman it was, had parted with the man he was talking to when seen by Korn he bad closed the front door bebind him on entering the store, leaving it in the condi- tion found by Fer:enbach. e MAY BE A CLEW. Michael Rice Saw a Quarrel Near MO TEE BISES | by a score of 6 to 4. He was going nowhere in particular, and was not hurrving. He asserts that just as he was passing the junction of Marki Bush and Battery street his attention w. attracted by two men, Wi o were quarrei- ing immediately in front of Hoifman's place of business. One of the men, the shorter of the two, was shaking his fist at the other in a threatening manner., “I paid no particular attention to them,” said Rice yesterday, **for I thought that it was just a spat between a couple of clerks over something that amounted to nothing. I continued on down the street for several blocks and then came back. When I again reached the corner where I bad previousiy heard the quarrel [ noticed that quite a crowd had collected there, and that the people were excited about something. “Quite naturally the first thing thst struck me was that those two men had finished their quarrel with an out and out fight. Joining the crowd I askea one of the by-standers what was up, and was in- formed by him that a man had fallen down an eievator shaft. While I was there the ambulance drove up wnd Hoff- man was carried out and pluced in the vehicle. Ifound then that the elevalor sha't story was wrong and that the man | bad been shol—or rather that he bad kilied himself, as was the supposition then. I thought no more of the matter until the next day wnen I read the accounts in | the papers. I was satisfied then that the | quarrel I had witnessed had something to | do with man’s death, and it was nota suicide at all. I never saw either of the | men before, and am not sure that I could recoznize them again, although I might be able todoso. I have carefully scruti- nized the portraits of Hoffman that have appeared in the papers, but they are either poor likenesses of him or he was not one | of the particivants in that quarrel.” The Violets De'eat the San Francisco Ath etic Club in a Close Game.

The liliputians opened at the Baldwin Theater last night in their new play, “Merry Tramps,” a spectacular, musical performance written to give the little people =-jortunities for the display of their talents. “Merry Tramps” is so full of panto- mime that it is scarcely necessary to know German in order to understand the action. Since their last visit, too, the | liliputians have learned a number of caichy ‘words and phrases in English, which they use frequently with good ef- fect. The play is scarcely so fanny as previous pieces in whnich the clever little people have appeared here, but it con- tains some whimsical scenes which were warmly applauded. The music is a me- lange of old and new pieces. Bertha Jeeger, Franz Ebert and Adolph Zink were the three tramps, and they wers largely helped in kesping the fun alive by Ludwig Markel, who played the part of a mischievous man-ape. A. Du- rand, who is as tall as the littie people arn diminative, played therole of an inventor whose one object in life was to marry off his dsughter to one of the tramps. Her- man Ring was miller, who gave mors time to meddling in his niece’ fairs than to looki all meddlesome parents and guardians in rlntomlmt, he wot the worst of it and the overs triumphed.

His Hat F.und on the Rocks Be ow by the Life-Sav.ng Crew Last Evening. The pleasures of a camping party were sadly marred yesteraay by the disap- pearance of one of their number under circumstances that caused his companions to believe that he had fallen over a high cliff near Point Bonita and was either drowned or dashed to pieces on the rocks below. Ou Saturday Otto D'Erlach of | 3821 Twentieth street, Joseph Palns, Nor- man Noah and George Appartn, all stu- | dents at Hopkins Institute of Art, went to | Potato Cove to camp for a couple of days. The cove is about ha!f a mile north of the Point Bonita lighthouse, near the Golden Gate, in Marin County. All of the campers are young men and they had a good time up to yesterday morning, when d’Eriach, who was of an adventurous spirit, expressed the deter- mination to reach a certain rock off the coast that had never been reached by the way of the reef from the shore. He was seen to start out and travel along a high cliff bordering the ocean. bis companions began a search for him, but to no purpose, and the situat on was reported to Lighthouse-keeper Brown. About that time Willkam Dillon of 310 California street, P, Hart, a boatman, and | Richard David, a ship's outfitter, reached the lighthouse in a boat and searcued the shore for several miles, but to no purpose. they returned the lighthouse keeper put up the tiag, union down, and the signal of disiress called out the life- saving station crew located near Fort Point. Although almost dark, they pulied rapidly to the light and took on one of 1’Eriach’s friends, and rowed around to the point near where D’Eriach ‘was last seen. After several attempts the brave life- savers landed one of their number at the foot of the ragged 200-foot cliff. In a little while tne life-saver found D’Erlach’s hat | on the rocks, but the man could no: be found. If D'Erlach had fallen from tne cliff, as it is supposed thut he did, his Yo'y must have been carried out into the ocean by the high tide and rough waves that broke upon the shore.

Alleges That He Was Almost Mur- dered at the Lexinzton, in This City. Charles Winckelmann, whose baby was kidnaped from the residence of Mrs. Beh- | low, 307 Fell street, on Saturday, believes Charles Winckelmann. he is pursued by enemies whose malice is | so great that they would not stop at | muraer. He accuses his wife of instigating the | kidnaping. She is known in shady circles | as Pearl Burke, alias May Jewell, alias | Pearl Mayne. Her most intimate asso- | ciate, who has no visible means of sup- | port, is Fred Husted, who inducd her to leave Winckelmann on the 1Sth of De- | cember. Within ten days thereafter he was arrested for vagrancy, but the woman | hired a lawyer and paid his way to free- dom, and the pair then went to Sacra- | meato. | Wincklemann induced the woman o re- | turn to his bed and board at the Lexing. | ton House on March 25, and an occurrence xo( ihat night made them enemies forever.

HE WILL RULE KOREA Prince Fui Wha Comes to America for Learn- ing. Although the Second So1 Hs Is Gen- erally Looked Up n as the Future King. Prince Eui Wha, second son of the ruler of Korea, was among the passengers who arrived on the Coptic yesterday evening. The Prince has little of the traditicnal royal appearance. The uninitiated mizht well take the high-born lad, for be is weil under his majority, for one of the army of “Japanese good boys'’ who solicit through the press positions as schoolboys. Accompanying the Prince a young man, apparently only a few ycars his senior, but who is accounted a shrewd diplomat in his own country. This is Pak Yong Kaui, who was attached to | the Korean Legation at Washington as Charge d’Affaires. The diplomat’s pres- | ent mission is no less ¢ xalted than that of chaperon extraordinary to the youth who will, in all probability, some day, assume | the throne of Korea. Pak Yong Kaui explained for his royal charge, for the latter knows no English, that the object of the trip was to piace the Prince 1n some Easiern educational insti- tution, where he will take a three vears' English course. No institution of learn- ing has vet been chosen. Although Eni Wha is the second son the mental incapacity of the heir ap- parent makes it highly probably that Eui Wha will ascend the throne. It is for this reason that the King de- sired his son 1o obtain the best education ogtainable. Pak Yong Kaui has been intrusted with the delicate mission of de- ciding just where such an education can be had. Sing Sang Koo, a friend of the Prince, accompanies him and the two will pursue the same course of studies. ————— The Printers’ Aid Soclety Pienic.
