4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY. FREEMAN'S GEMS HAVE VANISHED Sensation Follows the Sausalito Doctor’s Death. Officials Unable to Find the Diamonds He Loved to Display. Were the Remnant of a Fortune Lost in South African Ventures. SAUSALITO, Can, June 18.—Follow- ing the death of Dr. Richard T. Freeman have come complications toat add sensa- tional features to the case. To-day Sher- Henry Harrison, District Attorney E. B. Martinelii and Coroner E. Eden were here investigating the case and seeking to | discover the whereakouts of the diamonds | that suddenly disappeared when tbe doc- tor died. The story is one of thrilling in- terest and more like fiction than a ro- mance in real life. Dr. Freeman lived a life of excitement. To those iriends whom he trusted in & salito he told of the vicissitudes that had | marked his career, of the reasons why he | left London, of the charges of a grave | character that were brought against Lim, | of hisflight and his roamings over the earth, Years ago Dr. Freeman was practicing | his profession in England. He was not a | quack as his enemies ted people to believe, but was at the head of a large hospital. | One day a case in which a woman figured was brought to the estabiishment, ana | after an operation she died. Investiga- | tions were instituted by the authorities and the doctor was indicted. He claims that he had nothing to do with the case; that a young practitioner had performed | the operation and he wasin no way con- | cerned in it. The swift justice in the Eng- | lish metropolis did not relent and Dr. Freeman was forced to leave his native | land. Dr. Freeman then possessed great | wealth He invested $500,000 in a scheme to develop diamond mines in South Af- rica. A company with a paid capital of $5,000,000 oriued. After a short time the big proposition collapsed and dragged the doctor down with it. His wealty was | soon gone. His home, his belongingsand s personal property were sacrificed and, to aud to his otner imisfortunes, his wife, | whom he dearly loved, cied. i Broken in heart a irse, he got to- gether what e he could and became & | wanderer. He visice most every coun- | try on the globe and finally located in South America. There he remained fora time, but his healtn was giving way and e came 1o San Francisco, where he went rship with another physician— The two me iled to agree and sep- It re he became known as the ‘'dia- dector, use of U g cems graced s m Sausatito’s climate suited the doc but Le frequently eot into trouble wi her physicians in th . ar ot them was vent to Eng to get cer 1 copies of papers figuring in the 4 case there. When they arrived th placed before the California State Board of Medical Examiners id Dr. Wads- worth, the secretary, came to Sausaiito and canceled the physician’s certificate an account of which appeared in 4 Hr CALL at the time On the day that this took place Dr. Freeman deserted Sausalito and the town people thought they had seen the last of the “diamond doctor,” for his traps and belongings went with him. Within two days ha returned and, despit thefact that his license had been revoked, he kept on in his practice. He was not further molested and be buiit up quite a practic inthe town. Beingz ever ready to help a poor man, he soon had the hard-working | clement on his side and he no longer | feared tne wrath of the populace. Al- ways when on the streets he appeared with his brilliant diamonds and a_beaver t Wednesday afternoon, at the home A. D. Beli, he died, and his body 1s now at Coroner Eden’s office in San Ratfael, while a search is being made for a | will. The cause assizned by the Coroner | for his death was fatty degeneration of | the heart. | It is known that Dr. Freeman had a| sister in London, where, aceording to_his | statements, she wes head physician in a | leading hospital. | When the Coroner went to take the be- | longings of the dead doctor he failed to | tind any of the diamonds for which Free- man was noted. Mrs. A. D. Bell stated tbat the doctor was living at her home while he wassick, but she did not know anything adout the diamonds. The Coroner and the authorities learned that when the doctor went to the house be was in possession of the gems, and prosecuted the search more vigorousiy. Late this alternoon Mrs. Bell delivered to them one diamond stud, a gold watch and two bankbooks, which she said she had found in the doctor's possession, One bankbook showed that he had $600 on de- | posit in the Hibernia Bank, while the| other called for $34 on the London, Paris and American Bank. Mr-. Beli claimed that Dr. Freeman made a will leaving everything to her. Tots will, she said, was locked up in County Clerk Thomas Bonneau’s safe at | San Rafael. She went to San Rafael to- | day to see Bonneau, but he was on & vaca- | tion to Mendocino County, and a telegram failed to locate him to-day. Mrs. Bell says that she holds a receipt for the will. | Among the persons interested in the | investigation is Chief Wharfinger Root of | San Francisco. He has accompanied the Coroner and the District Attorney on their investigations. No trace has yet been | found of the missing diamonds, but the officials say that they have no doubt that they will come to light. Judge Joseoh H. Prior of Sausalito said to-day that he made a will for Dr. Free- man within two vears. If this instrument can be found, it will throw out Mrs. Bell’s will and further complicate the affair, DEATH IN 4 BARKEEVILLE MINE. Foreman Keiger fres of Inha VANCOUVER, W.

SEATTLE, Wasn., June 18,.—The Brit- | ish Columbia Development Association, | one of the wealthiest corporations in the West, has completed arrangements for constructing thirty-six miles of railway to Central Alaska for putting in a big saw- | milland for the establishment of a town- | site at Skagaway Bay, Alaska. By this schieme it is proposea io turn all future immigration to the Yukon and the Klon- | dyke gold fields of Central Alaska from | the route through Chilcoot Pass and St | Michaels (o that over Skagaway Bay. The pass at this latter point is 2000 feet lower | than Chilcoot Pass, and is more accessi- ble. A dozen men have thus far attempted | 3 toreach the gold fields by the pass at Skagaway Bay and found it practicably | easy of access and far superior to Chilcoot Pass. | Four Englishmen representing the De- | velopment Association are now in the city. | They are J. H. Escolme of London, H. F. | Hotme of Liverpool, R. Hill of Victoria | and A. Bellingham of London. They are | here to carry into effect the arrangements | us contemplated. The Puget Sound ma- | chinery depot of this city has already supplied a sawmill complete, 1n sections, | and the mili is now on board the Al-Ki, | which will sail northwsrd to-morrow for | Skagaway Bay. The mill will be put up at Skagawat Bay, houses will be built and | the whar! facilities enlarged and made | permanent. | Tue Englishmen are backed by abund- | ant cayital and the scneme for the present contemplates the immeaiate construction | of thirty-six miles of narrow-zause rail- way on the east side of the pass. The | company will put up another sawmill on | the east outlet of the vassand a toird at | the headwaters of the Yukon, connecting | with the chain of lakes. Boais will be | built there and sold to the miners headed | for the interior. There are thirty-six miles of rapids to be taken into consideration—rapids that are not navigable. Around these will be built the narrow-gauge road, the survey for which bas already been completed and the route established. The miners, their boats and their baggage will be trans- ported this distance by rail. il ity vy L0OS ANGELES TLAGEDY. | Morphine Taken by a Man Who Lored Amother’s Wife.

C.,, June 18.—Northern Pacific steamer Braemar brings news that the Chinese rebels in Formosa were pre- paring for a second attack upon Taipah, the capital of Formos mar left the other side. The Government authorities had taken vigorous meusures | tomeet the attack and were enlisting numerous volunteers to aid the regular troops stationed there. Anxiety is felt at Tai Hongs have stored in them large quan ties of silver ready to yay for tea which is beginning to come in from the country. The Iatest dispatches received at Yoko- bama state that armed soldiers were sta- tioned nightly on the outskirts of ' and that the original estimates of 100 rebels killed during the engagement of May 8 were far too small. About 200 bodies have been recovered. Seventeen Chinese were taken prisoners.

During that en- gagement the Japanese had three men kil'ea, one being a military engineer, one a policemun and one a gendarme. The rebels intended to make the second attack on a much larger scale than the first, and had been ~sending couriers tarough the surrounding country to stir up sympathizers and enlist their aid. Toey apparently bad plenty of arms, despite the capture of a Jarge number of Mauser rifles during the previous engage- ment. The Hongkong Telegraph explans the cause of the rebellion as follow The Sth of May was the day fixed by the | Japanese Governmeut as the time limit for Chinese living in Formosa and for natives of Formosa to register themselves as Japanese bjects. It would, therefore, appear that, aitliough the Governx utied by proc mation months ago that there was no | intention to interfere with the religious cere- | monies, habits and customs of the people, and that they would not be deprived of their s, this fresh rising is due to some mi: tanding #s to ihe motive of the in the island for causing the gister.
