A ———— THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JUNE 21, 1897 3 CLAIMS HER SHARE OF & MISER'S EOLD Pomona Woman About to Begin a Fight for Millions. Has Lived in Poverty, Though a Niece of Joseph Richardson. W1l Start for New York To-Day to Contest the Multi-Milllon= aire’s Will. POMONA, Car, June 20.—Mrs. Dora Richardson M eil will start from her home in Puente, in this county, for New York City to-morrow morning to contest the will of her uncle, Joseph Lichardson, who recently died there, possessed of some $20,000,000. Richardson always claimed that his wealth was limited to several hundred thousands and was miser- | ly in all things. Since his death it has come to light that he was owner of blocks of stocks in New England and Texas rail- roads; that he owned all the municipal bonds of Nashville, Tenn., and Houston, Tex., and had besides a safe full of stocks and bonds in water and gas companies in New York and a dozen other large cities. He died leaving his vast property in equal | shares to his widow, son and a maiden daughier. The story of his strange life bas been published in the metropolitan newspapers in the past few weeks. Mrs. Dora Maxwell is the daughter of | Joseph 8. Richardson’s youngest brother, | Henry. Mrs. Maxwell did not know until | last Thursday that her millionaire uncle wasdead. She got a letter from a relative in New York, informing her of his demise and the vast estate that had been leit. Yesterday she went to Los Angeles and consulted with lawyers and friends. They heard her story and looked over ber musty and time-stained papers. Then they agreed that she had an exceedingly | strong case, and together they raised | funds for sending Mrs. Maxwell to New York to begin a contest of her uncle’s | will. | Mrs. Maxwell has been in poverty for | ten years. She has been a widow for | eight years and has supported her two children by cooking for employes in the petrolenm wells at Puente. She has lived in & poor shanty and has done heavy | drudgery. Several times she wrote to ner | rich uncle about her distress, but after the | first letter all were returned to her un- | opened. : | “Ican prove,” sai¢ she to THE CALL correspondent, ‘‘by letters I have that my iather loaned to Joseph Richardson £300 | in 1838. Thatdebt was never repaid. I| bave letters to my father wherein Josepi Richardson says he will remember him (that is, my father) some day handsome- | lv. Butmy father took to drink before | be left England and when he came here to be with his brother Joseph, who was | then a prosperous mason in New York, | my father got the cold shoulder because of his habits. I had several talks with my rich uncle | 3 ars ago. 1 was an orpnan | ked Uncle Joseph to let me | or work 1or him so as to| tend normal schooi later. He said I runkard’s daughter, and he could not botber with me. One Christmas he ne $10. I had no idea e was so rich | few years ago. Cuauncey M. De- | pew of New York told a second cousin of mine that Joseph Richardson had over | $6,000,000 that be knew of in rairoad | stocks alone. *‘Yes, 1 believe I have a good case. My letters ‘are priceless now. I was going to burn them up several times a few years ago.” UPROAR IN A CHURCH. Scene Made by a Wite Whose Husband I3 Dropped From Membership for Immoral Conduct. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 20.—There was an exciting scene in the Fifth-avenue Presbyterian Church to-day when S, B. Brownel!, a member of the church, read tothe congregation the decision of the committee investigating the case of Rev. Hermann Wurszawiak, a converted Jew- ish missionary and superintendent of the American Mission of Je Wurszawiak was found guilty of immoral conduct, and the decision was his dismissat from church membership. The Fifth-avenue Presbyterian Church | is one of the most fashionable 1n the city, its pastor being Rev. D= Jonn Hall, and | it is also the wealthiest Presbyterian church In the country. A large and fash- 10nable congregation was present. When the verdict was read Mrs, Rachel Wourszawiak, wife of the accused, was sit- ting in a front pew. She immediately leaped to ber feet and in a voice angry and defiant screamed, while pointing her finger at Brownell, “This is not trae, and what is more you know it is false. My busband is an innocent man. This 1s a lie.” The church was thrown into an uproar. Brownell ran down to where the woman | was and tried in vain 10 quiet her, butshe ewung her arms and screamed at the top | of her voice: “My husband is innocent; | my husband is innocent. Al this is false, | Itisa lie.” All effor(s to calm the woman were un- | availing, when the janitor was summoned and the woman, shouting, kicking and | screaming, was garried out bodily. Many fashionably dressed women fled from their seats when the scene began. — TRE DUTY MUST STAND, | Eastern Republionn BSemators Deter-| nined to Protect the Carpet Industry. WASHINGTON, D.C., June 20.—There is 2 disturbance in Republican circies over the defection of Carter of Montana and Hansbrough of North Dakota from the Republican caucns agreemeant in aiding the Democrats and Populists to put on the free list floor mattings, plain jute fab- rics, burlaps and cotton bagging. Several 1n Republicans will not vote for ths tariff bill if yesterday's action stands. They say the removal of duty from floor mattings means the utter extermination of the cheap carpet industries of the At- | lantic seaboard. ]moorlul mattings come | from Japao, and the trade has been as- suming enormous proportions. Unless something is done promptly, there will be trouble. Yesterday’s develop- men¢ makes the prospect of an agreement upon the wool schedule more difficult. ‘The Republicans are threatening to stay here until December rather than allow the transler of the matting and burlap items tothe free list to stand. The members of the Ways and Means Committee say they pever will cousent to a tariff with such in- consistencies, and the tight will be made in conference with determination. Harmony can be restored by private | conferences, and the smooth progress of | and in the meantime will | audience of over 100, | were fouzht.

S0 Declares Debs in Advocating His So- cialistic Movement. CHICAGO, IrL, June 20.—Free eilver, according to Debs, is a dead issue. The Moses” was one of the principal speak- ers and workers for Bryan and the Demo- craticticket, but he has left that standard. In an interview to-day he said the ma- jority of the free-silver men would take the same course in the next campaign. He looks for them to turn toward the new socialistic movement which he cham- pions. *'Tne free silver movement has spent its force,” said Debs. ‘“Ihe socialistic move- | ment represented by the social democracy of America will cut into the iree silver ranks and leave that party practically powerless for the future. The principle of free silver is along lines of socialism. A large proportion of the vote cast for Bryan at the last campaign came from socialists. They voted for bim b:cause he came nearest 10 representing their views. At the next campaign socialism will be & great issue before the people. It is more advanced in the line of progression, and the silver people will find their cause merged in this.” R BANDIT SUPULOEVA L‘APTUHED.i Wanted in Los Angeles and Eisewhere for | “ail Breaking, Horse S:ealing and Other Crimes. SAN DIEGO, CaL., June 20.—John Mc- Cool, a Lower California mining man, ar- | rived to-day from Ensenada on thesteamer | Pacheco, bringing news of the captare of | Dolores Sepulveda, the notorious bandit and horsethief. Sepulveda is wanted for jail-breaking, | horse-stealing and a variety of crimes | committed in Los Angeles, Ventura and elsewhere, his last offense having been committed in Riverside County, from where he escaped southward with a Mexi- can murderer named Morales. A week ago the outlaws were seen at San Vicente ranch, in this county, about thirty miles east of here. To a rancher | they said tbey were going into Lower | California. The rancter identified Mo- | rales, of whom he had a description, and immediately after they were gone notified Sheriff Johnson at Riverside. Johnson, who was already provided with proper extradition papers, arrived in this cily quietly and 00k passage on the Pacheco for Ensenada last Tuesday night. Wednesday morning he arrived there, and immediately wen! to the office of | Governor Sanguines, to whom he showed his papers and told his story. He was accompanied by Mr. McCool, and the two offered 1o start out on the | hunt for the bandits. Sepulveda was believed to be with Morales, who was known to have friends in the Real del Castillo country, thirty | miles north of Ensenada. Governor Sanguines promptly dis- patched his chief of police with & squad of rurales to the scene, where it wae be- lieved that the bandits were in biding. Morales in some manner got wind of the pursuit and escaped, but Sepulveda was captured just as he was mounting his | horse to ride away. He surrencered without showing fight and Fridsy night was lodged in the jail at Ensenada. Sepulveda was born in California, but he claims to be a Mexican citizen, and the Governor will not let him be taken into the United States until his citizenship .of this country is proven. Sheriff Johnson has therefore written on for the proofs, remain in En- senada to guard his prisoner. - WILL DIE AT GRAMNIS PASS, Murderer Melson Aakes No Effort Delay His Execution.

The San Jose Wonder Wins the Mile and Quarter- Mile Contests. Allan Jones Defeats His Fleld Over PLEASANTON, Can, June 20.—This town was given over to the cyclists to- day, the occasion being a race meet held horse track here, which bad | been especially prepared for the occasion. | The slight rainfall yesterday served to | improve the surface, if anything, but fast | time was not vpossible, owing to a strong | wind that the riders had to facein the | Lomestretch, A large party of wheelmen came on the morning train from San Francisco and a still larger delegation rode over irom San Jose via Irvington and Sunol, a distance of about thirty miles. Captain Jossph Jury of the Garden City Cyclers headed a club run of about fifty men, and two large four-horse carryalls brought more enthu- siasts to cheer for their men, Ziegler and Downing. They were amply rewarded for | their long journey.in seeing Ziegler place | two of the professional events to his credit, while Downing was third in two and second in another. The meet was well attended by local | residents, and a large number came from | Nii Sunol ana Livermore, 30 that the scene when the races were called. Gus Bernal, local consul here for the Cslifornia Asso- ciated cycling clubs, had actively inter- ested himself in the preparations, and to him much credit is due for its success. He was ably assisted by other prominent wheelmen here. *“Doc”’ Wells, brother of | Charley Wells, the famou« Bay City racer; | his father, Hon. T. D. Welis, County Su- pervisor, and several other Wellses, helped the meet along and gave the people an op- portunity to see some of the best sport they have witnessed in many a day. The opening event on the programme was a mile open race for vrofessional riders. The starters were Otto Z.egler Jr., | Hardy Downing and Ciarence Davis of | San Jose, Herbert McCrea and Dan E. | Whaitman of Los Angeles and Allan Jones of San Francisco. Tandem pacing was introduced, with the intention of making the race fast, Roma Dow and Senator manned it. Their exertions to make it speedy resultea in tue machine breaking down shortly sfier the start. The men had been fignting for first place behind the tandera until it broke, when there was another scramil: for positions, and a mutual excuange of pacing. Swinging around the last turn Jones was in the lead, the pink-ciad rider seem- | ing to have an advantage over the rest of the bunch, though they were gradually drawing up on him. Ziegler was in | | fouzth position and aimost pocketed by Downing, McCrea and Dav: As the men came tearing down the bomestretch, now pretty weil bunched, Ziegler saw there was no possible chance for him to get through on the pole so he swung wide on the outside, and with a magnificent burst of speed outsprinted tue leaders, landing a winner by a good vheel's length over Jones, who was the ame distance abead of Downing, the lat- ter having nosed out atead of Davis for | third money. The time was 2:40 2 | Ziegler's ride was particularly creditable | because he hud to take the worst of the | woing, the track in the center where he | ode not being nearly as smooth as it was on the pole. He received a great ovation when he dismounted. Ziegler placed another clean victory to | his credit in the quarter-mile open. There was the same field of starters as in the mile, and many figured Jones as the most | likely candidate for the honors becau-e of nis known ability to sprint short dis- tances. Aithough the distance did not | allow of much time 10 play for positions, | there was considerable elbowing to get the best of it. Jones and Ziegler fought their way to the front by the tin:e they reached | the eighth and had it out neck and neck to the finish. It seemed as if each was doing as much work with his elbows as with his feet, and the wonder is that one of the other men | did not nip the victory from them. Zieg- | ler bad the most speed and strength when it came down 1o the last fifty yards, and | placed bimsell the winner by a very nar- row margin over Jones. Downing again captured third place, though W hitman made him ride to get it. The time was | 35 2-5 seconds. The killing finishes of the first two events told on Ziegler, and, as he felt that | winning two races was sufficient honor for one day, he did not start in the mile and a quarter run. The line-up waa Me- | Crea, Whitman, Davis, Downing and Jones, paced by Senator Dixon on asingle. | The Senator has a reputation asa pacer only second to bis tame as sn announcer, and he made it lively for the riders as long as he was up in front. The first time past the stand the order was: Downing, McCrea, Davis, Jones and Whitman, These positions were maintainea until the last eightb, and Downing looked the win- ner, with McCrea second. But they left an opening along the poie, which Jones was quick to take advantage of, and he glideu by them just before the taps was reached, Downing taking second money, McCrea third. The time was fast for the aquarter miles in 2:563-5, Lhe only amateur event on the pro- gramme was a two-mile local champion- ship, which excited a great deal of inter- estand partisanship among the specta- gall, Kdward Ponce, Nick Bernal, Fred Eiliott, Earl Downing and Ea Harding, The first mile was paced by J. E. Wing, | the crack Olympic amateur, and the sec- ond by G. A. Wyman, the Acme flier. McDougall, who wears the Acme emblem, and has been successful in several road races, easily outclassed his fiela. He caught first piace bebind Wing at the start, and was the only one who could hold the latter's killing pace. Wyman picked him up on the second round and brought him through in 4:50 for the two miles, the best time of the day. Bernal was second ana Harding third, Between the eveuts Harry Fowler of | San Francisco did some clever trick rid- ing. &be visiting wheelmen and racing men left for San Francisco to-night. The pro- fessionals will go at once to Vallejo to train for the meet to be held there next sunday. The iollowing is the summary: One mile, open, professionsl—Won by Otto Ziegler Jr., Sau Jose: Allan Jones, San Fran. cisco, second; Hardy Downing, San Jose, third. Time, 2:40 2-5.

TACOMA, Wasu, June 20.—According to the latest Oriental advices Mrs. John Wilson, a beautiful American woman, has been sent to prison at Madras, (ndia, for ten years. Her case has become quite celebrated tnrough British lndia. It is alleged that Mrs. Wilson brutally attacked Miss Frankland, a missionary, and neacly killed hel The Madras papers state that Mrs. Wil- son is about 26 years old, handsome, of a fine figore and a woman of unusual surength. The object of the assault was theit. The prosecutor told the court that Mis, Wilson’s previous record in Freoch law wns bad, that she was wanted by the English police and knew warrants were out againt her. The prose- cator gave circumstantia I evidence con- necting Mrs. Wilson with the crime. She was convicted and sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment. Mrs. Wilson, who declared her-elf an American subject, born at Denver, Colo., nad pleaded not guilty,and put the blame on Mr. Rustom e, a civil enginees seeking empiovment, and the servant of Miss Rooinson, a missionary sbout 60 years old, with whom she and Miss Frankland boarded. er story was not very convinc- ing, for the court paid but little attention to it, after hearing of her baa record. She is well treated in jail, but hopes to interest the American authorities in her case and get released, in which event she will leave the country. Miss Frankland, also from the United States, had a pocketbook containing con- siderable money in her hand when she was knocked down near her residence and robbed. Later her pocketbook was recov- ered. She was ill for weeks afierward. QUEST OF A DEAD MAN'S DIAMONDS Sausalito Officers Fail to Find Freeman’s Rare Gems.

June 20.—Though man was laid in the grave yesterday at for his diamonds and property continues. | Claims bave been made by two women that the doctor sought their hands in mar- ringe; that he was engaged to them and would bave taken them for bstter or for worse had providence spared him. These women are residents of Sausalito. One is Miss Jennie Lyons Lee, a niece of Mrs, A. D. Bell, in whose home Dr. Freeman breathed his last. The other is Mrs. To-day he informed Coroner Eden that n and was to have married him, Chief Wharfinger Root of San Francisco lays claim to the missing diamonds and bas been attempting to locate them. It is now reported that Dr. Freeman's sister is no longer alive and that he bas no living relatives to lay claim to his pos- | sessions. Besides his jewelry, monev and | effects in_this country, he Was the pos- sessor of property in South Africa, upon which it is impossible to place a valua- tion. Coroner E. Eden and District Attorney . B. Martimelli came to Sausalito again yesterday to seek for the missing dia- monds. A search warrant was orn out before Justice of the Peace J. S. Bellrude by Deputy Marshal J. Susavilla, and the aeputy, together with the District Attor- ney and the Coroner, went to the home of Mrs. A. D. Bell. The house was searched from top to bottom, bu: no diamonds were located. A gold watchcnain and a number of other articles of less value, but | owned by Dr. Freeman, were found and taken into custody. On Friday Mr-, Beill delivered one diamond, a couple of bank- books and some other articles over to _the officials and said that was ail she had of the doctor's property, yet the search yes- terday brought to light other articles. The mystery of the disappearance of the costly gems that during the lifetime of the physician shone so brilliantly upon his person is becoming more dark every day. Nor hasa will bren found as yet, ai- though different parties claim that he left | such an instrument. Shenff Harrison id this afternoon that two men had taken the doctor to the | home of Mrs. Bell just before his sick- | ness, and that they would state positively that the physician did not have the dia- monds displayed on that day. The men are Mancebo and Beady of Sausalito, Coroner Eden will apply to the Superior Court to-morrow for letters of adminis. tration upon the doctor’s estate, SINKING ON THE I1KEADWELL. 4 New Shaft for the Great Alaska Gold Mine. TACOMA, Wasw., June 20.—Tmprove- ments on the great Treadwell gold mine on Douglas islana, Alasks, are being made which wi.l double in sizs the al- ready extensive plant and will eventually double the output. For moaths past there has been in process of construction a shaft 6x8 feet, located 100 feet distant from the hoist used now. It wili be widened out to 8x12 feet and sunk 1000 feet. The hoist- ing machinery which is now on the dock will be used temporarily. When the snaft is down 1000 feet other and larger hoisting engines will be installed. A great deal depends upon the sinking of this shait. If it proves to be in ore for that depth the Treadwell mine doubles itsell at once. There are reserves of ore in sight now to run for many years with- out further discoveries, but this new shaft will afford the means to explore entirely new ground and demonstrate the perma- nency of the quartz bodies on the island at great depth. In this way it is of great importance to Southeastern Alaska gen- erally. —_— Chinese Arrestod Near Tia Juana.

SLAIN AS HE RODE ON A LONELY PATH How De Angeles Met His Death Near Livingston. Ambushed and Shot by a Rela- tive With Whom He Had Quarreled. Glven No Chance to Defend Him= self Against the Assassin’s Attack. MERCED, CAL, June 20. —From the evi- dence now obtainable it appears that the killing of the vegetable peddier De Ange- les by his brother-in-law, W. D. Elkins, near Livingston, on Friday night was a cold-blooded murder. Tt was the sequel to a family quarrel over proverty interests. Mrs. de Angeles and Mrs. Elkinsare sisters, whose maiden name was Stone. Upon the death of their father the family was left in comfortable circumstances. Their mother, who has since marriea L. Gillbam, was appointed their guardian, and the case has been in the courts for some time. Upon arriving at legal age the elder sister married De Angeles and ap- plied for an accounting of the guardian- ship. Since then thers has been trouble in the famity. De Angeles and Elkins had a dalspute on Friday over some matter, which evi- dently so enranged Elkins that his tem- per did not cool down during the d; He lay in wait for De Angeles as the lat- ter was returning home in the evening atter being out with his wagon peddling fruit and vegetables all da; ‘When De Angeles came by at about 8 o’clock Elkins shot him dead. Gillham, the stepfather of the wives of the principals, witnessed the crime. El- kins was awaiting his victim inaswale near bLis residence. When De Angeles came along in his wagon he Spened fire upon him, hitting him three times in the body. One bullet, evidently the tirst one, took effect in the right groin and ranged upward. The victim fell forward and out of the wagon, and the other two shots were fired e while he was falling or alter he had reached the ground, for they ranged downward. One, which struck in the center of the breast, went on through the heart and left lung; ths other, strik- ing the right breast, ranged in the same direction. Tie head of the dead man was battered, three large holes being found in the skull, all three cornered. Whetber they were made with the revolver or some other instrument is not known. These biows were evidently struck after De An- geles had fallen from the wagon. Elking’ ds were bruised and he car- ries & scar on bis forehead, the cause of which bas not yet been ascertained, but they could not have been received in a struggle, for the vegetabie peddler was in all probability dead by the time he struck the ground. The revolver that Elkins used he deliv- ered up to tiie Constable, minus the barrel, which had been broken off. The handle was bloody and the trigger guards show marks that must bave been made by strik- ing against some metailic substance. The barrel was afterward found at the scene of the murder. The body was left where the killine _occurred, and when the Coro- nerand officers urrived De Angeles was found lying on his back between the front and rear wheeis of his wagon, with his head and shoulders projecting from under the right side of the vehicle. The body was brougtt in last night and a jury was impaneled. The jury viewed the remains but was excused until to- morrow, whea the testimony will be heard.

RESRL o i DOWNPCUR FROM THE SKIES, Damage Done by the Rainstorm Slight Except in Scattered Sections. SANTA ROSA, CaL, June 20.—It began raining here yesterday morning, and light showers fell most of the cay. About mid- night, a good, old-fashioned downpour set in and lasted until this morning. The weather did not finally clear until 2 o'clock this afternoon. Some farmers are grosning over their many tons of down hay,while others with their fodder in the barn are smiling to see the corn and pumpkins revive and take a fresh startin life. It is thought that the damage to hay will be more than offset by the benefits to other crops. CLCGVERDALE, CaAL., June 20.—A June |rain is almost unknown in this section, but rain has been falling, with only a few short intermissions, since Friday afters noon, the precipitation amounting to over an inch for the storm. Stock-raisers and wool-growers do not like it, as it spoils the dry grass as feed. The hay crop will not suffer much, as it is about all gathered. Corr, grapes and the later fruits will be greatly benefited by this rain. Oranges and lemons, which have suffered greatly from the heavy north winds of the past few months, ceusing the young fruit to drop, will be especially” benefited. A strong south wind and heavy clouds give indications of more rain. STOCKTON, Car, June 20.—Rain feil in this locality last night, but did not do any great damage. Much hay has been out, but_the rain was so gentle and the fall so slight that it was not injured. Fruit was not affected to any extent, the grapes being well developed. The crop of this locality will be very fair this year. 2 HEALDSBURG, CaL., June 20.—The rain, which has been falling almost stead- ily for the past two days, has done con- siderable damage'in this section, ruining a large quantity of hay and damaging feed on the stock ranges.
