The witness corroborated the testimonv of Dr. Eastman in 1egard to what took place on Friaay evening. % | Mrs. Marv Bere, with whom the gidl | formerly lived, testified that she had | known the girl for a short time; that Miss Holywell had stopped at her bome, 1909 Berkeley way, from the® time that college | opened in August up to October 6. “Tha girl soffered terribly frov: her feet,” testified Mrs, Berg, and at times | | the pain was so intense that her eyes al- | most se=med to pop out of her head.

The fect was so fuily established at the inquest yesterday that even her father admitted 1t afterward. The Coroner's inquest on the dead giri was the feature of the case in Berkeley yesterday, for the peovle hid had two days in which to discuss it and had be- come fairly well convinced that Miss Holywell had ended her own life, but there were still mysterious features which | it was expected the inquest would dissi- | pate.

The doctor diagnosed the case as mor- phine poisoning, reaching this conclusion f-om the nature of the sleep and a slight contraction of the pupils of the eyes. The doctor was with ner for several hour-. After she had recovered he insisted on her g.ving up the morphine she had in her possession. This she refusea todo. She dectined to say whether she had taken the dose with suicidal intent. She de- clared that sue had taken the mor- phine to relieve pain and added that she was accustomed to take it when she needed | it, but that she never took more than one- xih of a grain, She said thatshe had en the drug to raake her sleep forever. Then why did you not take more,” in- quirea_the doctor. *I never take too much,” she replied, from which the doctor | concluded that the girl was addicted to the use of morphine. Dr. Eastman insisted in vain on having the poison, but the girl promised that she would sieep that night with M ss Durgin and that she would give him the morphine next morning. On Friday zfternoon Miss Holywell ob- tamed a sleeping potion from Dr, East man, paying for it_at the same time. At 9:30 ¥riday evening Dr. Eastman was summoned to attena her at the Durgin residence. The stomach tube had already been apnlied to the girl, wnom he found to be suffering from morphine poisoning. Drs. Eastman and Hoaglanl worked over the girl for several hours. At umes respiration seemed almo-t to ceass and the pulse became weak. Artificial respira- tion and stimulants were re.orted to in vain. The girl died Saturday morning at 2 o’clock. The witness testified that the autopsy had bezn performed by Dr Hoagland and himself. The autopsy -eve:l:d the fact that the girl was a sufferer from certain aillments peculiar to her sex. ‘‘The trouble was of such a nature,” said D-. Eastman, ‘‘that meiancholia or some nervous affec- tion might easily be expected as a conse- quence. Ii this trouble bad been diag- nosed this girl might have been success- | iully treated, bui it is possible thatan ! operation might have been necessary. i *Undoubtedly the girlsuff red greatly | from ingrowing toensils. The carbolic acid found in her room was probably used | on her feetr.” Dr. Bastman declared that he had seen no evidence that the girl was not in her richt mind, but that he was convinced that death resulied from melanchoiia. Miss Harriei M. Durgin testified that she knew the dead girl slightiy, that Miss Holywell had re ided at her residence | since October 6. On Monday night a tele- | gram came 1o the house for Miss Holy well. She took the telezram up to the girl’s | room, knocked at the door, received no response and entered.

Dr. J. H. Kledson of Berkeley testified that up to the 18th of October he kept a drug store in connection with his practice, but on that date had sold out to A. G. Hawley. Witness never saw Miss Holy- well to his recollection, and had no know- ledge of her having purchased morphine at his store. He was shown an envelope containing a morphine powder that was also found in the girl’s room, and identi- fied the writing on the envelope us that of bis clerk, Charles R. McNulty. Dr. Kledson was excused for the time and clerk McNulty was called. He is employed by Dr. Kledson's successor, and is also a student at the College of Phar- macy. He was shown the envelope and powder and identified it as one Le had sold (o Mits Holywell six or e ght weeks ago. He thought there was about a tenth of grain of morphine in the powder. He took outa small quantity. Miss Hotywell told him that after studying, she was unable to sleep, and she wanted him to give her a suflicient quantity of morphine to overcome her insomnia. She said she was in the habit of taking a quarter of a grain of the drug, but_witness would not give her that much. Nobody but the boy was in the store with him at the time, Dr. Kiedson having just stepped out. It was toe only time McNulty ever saw the girl. Mr. Holywell was recalled and asked if his daughter bad ever suffered trom brain ifever. He replied that when she was a Iittle girl, probably about 4 years old, she was very sick with fever, but he could not say it was brain fever. ‘Do you know J. H.

All her letters passed through my hands and all of them came from Red!ands.” Miss Lowse M. Garland testified that she had known Miss Holywell for some lyeurs in Redlands before coming to col- ege. *Miss Holywell had nn gentlomen | friends that 1 knew of,” the witness de- clarea. “Ihave never heard of any of the | persons mentioned in" the letter. While the Jetter resembles ber handwriting, I | could not identify it.” Miss Garland declared that she never knew of Miss Holywell taking morphine. Miss Gleason had told her to look after Miss Holywel! on account of her melan- choly disposttion. Louis Fatton, a druggist at Lorin, in answer to questions by Coroner Baldwin, testified that he had neyer known of the deud girl having purchased laudanum or morphine at nhis siore. He was shown a pill-box containing several grains of mor- { phine. 1t hau been found in Miss Holy- | well's room. Witness said be sold the ! drug October 29 to a girl who had given | | the name of La Blanche. i { Fatton was taken out to view the ve- | | maias, and upon resuming the witness- | chair said he could notidentily the deud | eirl as the one who bad made the pur- ciiase. He thougnt the one who visited : his store was rather fleshier. Snhe had all the appearance of being a morphine fiend. He was familiar with the law re- paraing the sale of poisons and the re- quirement of a physician’s prescrijtion, and he was positive the girl had given bim such a preserivtion. Av the tim« of the purchase she gave her age as 19 years and ber address as 2240 Durant streat. Fation resumed his testimony with the | statement that he cautioned the girl about the use of morphine, and she replied that she was in the habit of using it. She fur- ther said she wanted to use it bypodermic- | aily. She appeared very intelligent. The Coroner questioned Fatton closely rezard- ing the resemblance between the deceased and the girl who bought the morphine, ! and witness replied he was not positive that Miss Holywell was not the woman who visited his arugstore, as he had never seen her before or since. Asked by one of the jarors if he did not take chances in selling poison under such circumstances or if he regarded the meas- { ago. He was shown a paper found in Miss | Holywell’s room. It had contained mor- phine. He said it did not come from his store. The Coroner delivered the letter and the package received at Berkeley after Miss Holywell’s death to her father, who opened them in the presence of the Coroner, jury and reporters. The letier was signed “Florence L. Holywell,”” and was from the deceased’s sister at Red- iands. It told of the doings of the mem- bers of the family and friends, and was calculated to cheer up the absent one, whose gloomy nature seemed to be well known to all the members of her family. The package contained a piece of cake, with aslip of paper on which was written, “Florence’s birthday cake.” There was also a ring—an ola-fashioned gold figured band, with a setting of six small pearis and two rubies.

May Have Helped to Rob Mrs, Max, Her Employer, of Her Jewelry. VALUABLE DIAMOXD RINGS STOLEN A Flat at 416 McAllister Street Looted While the Occu- pants Were Out, THE AFFAIR WAS SKILLFULLY PLANNED The Officers Have Not Yet Discovered the Whereabouts of the Thieves or Their Plunder The home of Mr. and Mrs. Max at 416 recently and jewelry and other valuables were stolen. Addie Meyer, a servant in the employ of the Max household, is missing, and there is but little doubt that she 1s the thiel who planned the robbery, for all the cir- cumstances connected with the case indi- cate that she had one or more accom- plices. The police have been working on the the robbery, but they have failed to recover any of the stolen prop- erty or to locate the thieves. All that they know is that Addie Meyer isan old offender, as her photograph occupies a place in the rogues’ gallery. As to her whereabouts they arc completely in the dark and are keeping the matter as quiet as possible. The robbery occurred on a Sunday evening when Mr. Max and wife wereaway from home. When thLey returned at about 11 o'clock, they found all tiae doors un- locked, although they had locked them | when they left. The honse was brightiy illuminated, every gas j't in the h(\llse“ blazing away at Mr. Max's expense. The | rooms were in great disorder. as. the | bureaus and clothes.closets had been ran- | sacked and the contents scattered about the rooms. i The back window of the kitchen opens out on a porch which is at the top dT the stairs which lead down to Locust avenue, a small street which runs back of the houses. This window was raised, and it | is presumed that the burglars eftected an | entrance by climbing the stairs and getting in tne window. A hurried examination revealed the fact that the bag in which Mrs, Max kept her jewels since lier mother’s death, which occurred on October - 10, was missing. There were many valuable thingsin the nouse beside~ the jewelry, but none were taken, as the robbers had evidently besn frightened by the entrance into the house of the occupants of the flat above the one | occuped by the Maxes. Those people heard some one stirring about in Mr. Max’s rooms, but seeing the house ilinmi- nated naturally supposed that their| neighbors were entertaining some iriends. | It is presumed that the robbers left then. | Addie Meyer left in the afternoon about | 4o'clock. She told her employer that she was going to see her motker.in Oakland, She had made weekly trips to Oakland before, but it is now known that there is no Mrs. Meyer at the address given by ber. The matter was reported ‘to Chief Lees on the day after the burglary and_ he de- taited Detective Revnolds to inquire into the case. The officer took a walk wiih the girl =nd came to the conclusion that she did not have anythin to do with the bur- giary. The next night Addie Meyer left the house when everybody was aved, but before she went she took a pair of ‘shoes velonging to Mr. Max, and four pairs - of socks, three kitchien norons aud two shirt- waists belonging to Mrs. Mux. ‘She has not been seen since, although the detec- tives have been anxiously striving to locate her. 1t is believed now that the burglary was deliberately planned by tne girl The house could not have been better sit- uated for the success of the burglars, for all of the flats extend from McAllister to Locnst avenue. Stairs lead from the avenue to each flat, and the kitchen win- dows open out upon the porchesat the bead of the stairs. Two days before the | house was burglarized, Adlie Meyer broke a pane of glassin the kitchen win- dow, S0 that it was an easy matter jor | any one standing on the porch to put a | hand through and undo the fasteniLg which secured the window. The inside blinds were fastened with a hook, and this the girl broke also. Mrs. Max noticed the broken. glass and hock and spoke to the servant about it and was told that thev were broken acci- dentally wuile Addie was washing the | window. Mrs. Max is certain that a diamond ring which she missed some time before was stolen by the girl.
