THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1897 ARMED, HE WAITED FOR SCHOFELD Daniel Dutcher Makes Some Admissions to f#The Call?> WAS PREPARED FOR THE OLD MAN. Saw Him Coming to the Wood- shed and Fired as He Entered. THE WIDOW DENOUNCES A FAKE INTERVIEW. Repudlates Utterances Attributed to Her In a San Francisco Dally. SAN JOSE, Car, Aug. 16.—Dan Duicher, the slayer of George W. Scho- field, remarked to-day that he expected to go to San Qaentin for what he had done. Atthe same time he obstinately refused 10 make any statement in regard to the stone-throwing on Friday night, in spite of the fact that Irving Mann had stated positively that Dutcher did the throwing. I. may be that Datcher is withholding certain important information in his pos- session concerning the tragedy, not from any fear of the consequences, but be- cause he has been repeatedly instructed by Vie Scheller, his attorney, not to make any more statements until he has been placed on the witness stand and has taken a solemn oath to speak the whole truth. In an interview to-dav Dutcher did make admissions to THE CALL represen- tative. Perhaps he thought he was re- peating something he had already said; perhaps he was taken off his guard. Be that as it may, he threw some additional light upon the ystery surroun g the killing of Schofieid “Did you tell Fourcade,” he was asked, “thatif Schofield abused his wife any more youa would kill him?” “No; 1did not say it. did.”” Did he use the words that have been given?” *Not exactly. He said—and this hap- vened on Friday, after the racket in the morning—that if Schofield bothered his mother any more he would kill him.” Then he was asked this question: “When did you first see Schofield on Saturday morning?”’ “When he poked his head in at the shed door." “How aid it happen that you were look- ing through the window into tne shed at that time?”’ “I don’t know.”" “‘Now isn’t it singular that you should be looking into the shed when you kne w that Schofield was somewhere about the house?’ No answer. “Is it not a fact that you did see him be- fore he reached the shed ?” “Well, now I think about it, I must have thought [saw him coming toward the shed.” “You have said, Dutcher, that when you went into the bedroom on Friday to get the rifle to protect Mrs. Schofield you saw the shotgun. Why didn’t you take it as well as the rifle and thereby put it out of the power of the old man to kill his wife?"” *I have already told you.’’ “Tell it again.” No answer. “Was 1t because in your excitement you failea to realize the danger of its presence in the room “Yes; I didn’t think of anything but getting hold of the rifie.’” ‘*Another question: When you returned the shotgun to Echofield, after your rab- bit-shooting trip on Friday evening, wisn’t it loaded ?" “Yes.” “‘After what had occurred earlier in the day, why didn’t you take the loads out?” *Icould not do it; hadn’t anything to do it with, and I didn’t want to shoot the loads off.” “Why?” “What would be the use in wasting powder?” Mrs. Bchofield is recovering from the prostrating effects of last Saturday’s ex- citement, and she will be in condition to #0 to Madrone to-morrow. The prelimi- nary examination will begin at 1 o’clock. To-day Sheriff Lyndon received the fol- lowing letter from Clark Johnson: CARLISLE, Aug. 16, 1897. Sheriff Iyndon—DEA : 1 wish to thank vou for forwarding a letier sent to your care; also for your prompt action in having me re- leased #s so0n ns you found out how much I was implicated in my father-in-law’s murder, 1 was first made acqueinted with the facts of Irving Mann the tragedy when I was arrested. Some ome nad informed you and the news- papers that he (Mr. Schofield) and T fre- quently quarreled. This isfalse. We ncver bad a disagrecable word pass between us at 80y time, and as far as misusing my wite in any manner I never have. He told my wife if I ever did misuse her to let him know and he would come and get her away at any time. 1f youkindly deny the statements in the news- papers you will greaily obiige me. I will have work for about Lwo weeke, after which 1 will be in San Jose, although I wiil be unable to give any evidence or information that could lend to the detection of the guilty party, Many thanks again for your promnpt action in wy behalf. Respectfully, CLARK JOHNSON. The alleged interview with Mrs. Schofield, published in to-day’s Examiner, together with the purported contession of her participation in the shootine of her hu-band and the incidents that led up to 1t, had no founcation in fact. The story was a pure fake from beginning to end. Mrs. Schofield has not yet made a detailed confession. She has had no conversation with an Examiner revorter since Dutcher's confession. Thig is her own statement, and 1t isalso the statement of Vic Scheller, her attorney. —_—— San Jose Grange Institute.

BENICIA, Car., Aug. 16.—Freight train No. 9, in charge of Conductor Davis and Engineer Marks, was captured here this evening st 5:45 o'clock by a bana of about twenty tramps, who endeavored to loot the cars. The train was ready to start, when the tramps boarded it and took possession of the caboose, driving the conductor and brakeman out. One of them fired shots at the brakeman, but, fortunately, did not hit him. The enginer, seeing the condition of affairs, did not start the train, and the peace officers of the town were hastiiy sent for. Constables Malone anda Hvde and Marshal Opperman were soon on the | ground and a furious fight ensued, result- ing in the capture of ten and the dispers- ing of the balance. During the fizht one of the tramps had a leg broken in three places and others suffered severe scalp wounds. The tramps made an unsuccessful at- tempt to break jail to-night, but were dis- | covered in time by the officers. An ex- amication of the injured men shows thut one of ihe tramps had his skull fractured, and the one whose leg was broken will | bave to have the member amputated. g SILVER PEAK COMPANY WINS. Failure of the 7.4Hempt to Wrest From it Mining Lands in Nevada. CARSON CITY, Nev., Aug. 16.—An im- portant decision was rendered in the United States Court this morning by | Judge Hawley in one of the Silver Peak mining sui's. It was that of Garrard against the Silver Peak mines, an action in ejectment to recover from the Si ver Peak mines certain lanis situated in Es- meralda County, with valuab'e mill tail- ings thereon. Defendants had been using the land since June, 1895, making excava- | tions to the damage of the plainnff of §6000. A mill and other 1mprovements had been built by the defendants 10 the value of anout $120,000. The contention arose through a mistake of the Surveyor-General of Navada at the time tbe land was takeu up. The land <hould have been in plat 22, but by the error it was recorded asin 58. Garrard, who was a surveyor, 1ogether with others, then attempted to get the land. The court decides that the State has no title to the lands under the 2,000,000 acre grant, this land being of a salit or saline character and exempt from grant. The plaintiff relies on a mistake in one of the | courses described 1n a United States pa- tent. The mistake was not of such a character as could be taken aavantage of by the puaintiffs or his grantors. It was not made in the survey; it wassimply a clerical error. The decision was in favor of the defendants. John Mackav had arranged to take the mine in case ihe defendant won the suit, and bis representatives, A. M. Womble and George D. Roberts, are to assume charge. The mine is in the southern part of Esmeralda County, and is oneof the richest in the West. X - DRUNKEN M:N AND 4N 4X. Furnilure in a Poor Woman’s Humble Home Wrecked. STOCKTON, CAL., Aug. 16.—Mrs. Neal, who is a hard-working woman living on Washington street, bslow Commerce, has much to be pitied for. With two iittle childr:n and a worse than useless hus- band she has been strugeling along to keep body and soul together. To-day she appeared at the police office and asked for protection and a warrant for the ar- rest of her husband. Last Wednesiay night Neal came home. His wife had given him money with which to go to San Francisco and ezet work, but he spent it for liquor and came back to abuse her. Going into the cellar he procured an ax, and with that he pro- ceeded to wreck the poor woman’s belong- ings. The tamily sewing-niachine, which helped to make a humble living, was broken into fragments. The lounge and chairs, the table she and her children ate upon, and even the :dishes she had, were wrecked. Neal will be severely dealt with, — LONG BEaCH IRAGEDY.

STOCKTON, CaL, Aug. 16.—To-morrow there will be another meeting of the directors of the Stockton Driving Club, who are arranging for the coming race meet and fair next month. The next batch of entries for the track events does Dot close until September 2, but already the entries for the running races ar: com- ing very rapidly, and this part of the pro- grumme promises to outclass anything on the circuit this year. Other fairs ars not offering the runners the same induce- ments that are being beld out by the managers of the Stockton meet, and in consequence the programme will be one of the best seen in years. To-day a letter was received from Butte, Montana, from G. M. Judd, owner of Klamath, asking that a free-for-all trot be added to the programme, and promising Klamath and five other entries. This race will draw great crowds, as the sensa- tional race trotted here two years ago with Klamath, McKinney and others on the lists lingers long in the memory of the lovers of horseflesh. R The space in the pavilion is being taken rapidaly. The display there promises to be the best seen in many years. o8 THE DIAMOND.
