It was then that the patient sufferer hastened to the jail, there to break the news to the prisoner whose child was her child, whose sorrow was hers. It was there, too, that she entwine her arms around the “unfortunate father’s neck and sobbed so mourn- fully that the jail customed to witnes rov bowed their hea aside out ment of two unfortunates whose lives had thus drifted into the depths of espair.

When Chief Lees was told the story he said: t permission be granted by all We would be hyenas to refuse request. So the sorrowing from his gloomy cell father was led by Policeman | Coughiin, who was deeply affected by the sight he beheld at the home of the | parents of the dead pabe.

Four young children witnessed the | sad spectacle and added to the pathos | as they cried and clung to him until he painfully and slowly walked with bowed head and aching heart from the house of sorrow. There is no food in that house except a few morsels of bread, and the fuel is all gone. “If you could only be with me we might do something,” said the lonely | and honeless woman as her husband | was taken back to jail, “but alone I | am helpless.

CLAIMS HE CAN PROVE "~ AN ALIBI Hoff Is Now Bold and Defies the Police. Says He Can Demonstrate He Did Not Kill Mrs. Clute. The Body of the Assassinated Woman to Be Buried To-Day. FUNERAL SERVICES HELD. Friends of the Grief-Stricken Husband Indignant at Reports From Salt Lake. Albert Hoff, the accused murderer of Mrs. Mary A. Clute, has regained some of his composure and no longer trembleswhen talkingof thecrimewith which he is charged. Yesterday he said he could and would establish a complete alibi when he comes to trial. Just how he would do it he would not say, but he said he told his attorney of the circumstances of his movements on that day and the lawyer told him he need have no-fear of the hangman’s rope. Chief Lees says Hoff will make a most dismal failure of any attempt to prove an alibl. The prosecution will prove that Hoff was not only in the house where the murder was commit- ted, but that he was in the room where the crime was done and at the time the life was beaten out of thewo- man with the deadly coupling pin. It also will be proven that the weapon | with which the crime was committed was one of the tools carried by theac- cused man. Funeral services were held over the body of the murdered woman yester- day afternoon at the undertaking par- lors of H. C. Porter. The room where the body lay was crowded and a great throng filled the street. service for the dead of the Order of the Eastern Star, of which the de- ceased was a member, was conducted by the members of Golden Gate Chapter. The Episcopal services for the burial of the dead were said by Dr. Moreland of St. Luke’s Church. The body will be sent to Watsonville to-day for interment. Dispatches from Salt Lake Cit where Mr. and Mrs. Clute formerly | lived, say the couple were highly re- spected citizens there. Mrs. Clute was of a lively and vivacious disposition, have the unfortunate man’s sentence commuted. There is room, meantime, | | for charitable persons to demonstrate | in this case, and at this Yuletide sea | son, that there is such a thing as the brotherhood of man, and that “one drop of blood flows through the races.” BICYCLES MADE THE HORSES RY | Narrow Escape of a Pleasure Party in Golden Gate | Park Yesterday. | = | | | the truth.

The Boston Ladies’ Military Band ‘received ' special attention from the youngsters. T e This Is Picture Year And these are the reasons for it: Never have 'so many charming new pictures been publisheu and prices for nice things never so low. Artistic framing at mod- erate prices was never understood until this fall. All the new subjects, includ- g the Hargreaves line of life pictures, are shown at Sanborn & Vail's, 741 Mar- ket street. . el R S They Will Fight Hard. A meting of the Brewery Workmen's Union was held last night, but no action was taken on the threatened war of the Brewers' Association against the brew- erles using the label. The rumor is gen- erally believed, however, by local brew- ers and was the subject of much desul- tory conversation, and present appear- ances indicate that if the association | tries to fight the union breweries it will | find that it has run up against an unex- | pected snag in the person of the union, | which is at present amply prepared to | fight_capital = with capital, ' The union men make the assertion that it s impos- sible to manufacture beer at one dollar per keg, and if the associated brewers begin running business on this plan their customers will soon make the discovery | 1 | sided in a fitting manner. that they are buying more water than beer. | some street, fond of music and of soclety. Both Mr. and Mrs. Clute had many friends, and their home while in Salt Lake City was an ideal one. When the news of the murder first reached the Utah city a report was sent from there saying that Mr. Clute, who had been Assessor of the city, left his office under a cloud. The report greatly exaggerated ducted his office properly. No direct charges were made and nothing could be found against him to base any on. The friends of the grief-stricken man are justly indignant at the reports that were circulated from his former home. CHRISTMAS HIGH JINKS. The Event Assembled a Fine Audience at the Bohemian Club. The Christmas high jinks of the Bo- hemian Club Saturday evening was a happy event. The occasion assembled a vast throng of members and quite a number of Eastern visitors to whom cards of admission were issued. The house was appropriately decorated in honor of the festivities. William Sproule, president of the club, pre- “Noel” was sung by Donald de V. Graham and ‘‘Nazareth” by Thomas Rickard. The literary contributors were Edward F. Preston, Horace Platt, Jerome A. Haft and James E. Runcie. The low jinks was sired by M. A. Newell. The Ah Yew On Society pre- sented ““The Second Born,” a one-act play. The cast was great and the stage equipment a revelation. Officers Ipstalled. The newly elected officers of the Widows' and Orphans’ Aid Association of the Police Department were installed yesterday in Judge Joachimsen's court- room as follows: President, Sergeant John B. Martin; vice-president, John Fitzhenry; treasurer, Sergeant John Duncan; recording secretary, O. C. Phil- lips; financial secretary, Samuel Rankin; trustees — Sergeant Abe Houghtaling, Sergeant James Donovan, M. Anderson, John Wallace and John Butterworth.

George Cesena, a tanner, and Thomas McDonough, a laborer, imbibed too much liquor yesterday morning and at Six- teenth and Railroad avenues, South San Francisco, they had a fight. When Po- liceman Stanton arrived upon the scene Cesena was on_ top of McDonough and McDonough said Cesena had robbed him of a dollar. Stanton found the dollar in Cesena’s hand. They were both sent to the City Prison. Cesena was charged with robbery and McDonough with bat- tery. —_———— Senator Mahoney Better. The condition of State Senator J. H. Mahoney is much better during the past few days—sufficiently so as to give his many friends hope of his speedy recov- ery. The erysipelas which has caused much suffering for the past week has almost disappeared. The only thing which now keeps him confined to his room is a slh;Rt attack of rheumatism in his feet. ‘With the removal of this he will be out and moving about as usual in the course of a few days. —_————— Dramatic Entertainment, A most entertaining evening was spent last night by the guests of the St. Nich- olas Hotel at a dramatic entertainment under the supervision of Leo Cooper.

HER JAWS ARE NOW AT REST. Mrs. Mabel McGinn, the Gum-Chewer, Missing From Her Home. Her Friends Believe She Has Eloped With Her Divorced Husband. They Told Their Troubles in Court and Separated, and Now They Disappear Together. Mrs. Mabel McGinn, the gum chewer, and the divorced wife of George Mc- Ginn, is missing from her home on Broderick street, near Pine. She has been gone since Tuesday, and her friends are of the opinion that she has | made up with the man from whom she | was divorced and that they have run away together. They have both dis- appeared, and it is thought they have gone together. About two years ago Miss Smith, as she was known before she was married, mysteriously dropped out of sight for a few days, and when she came back she introduced McGinn to her friends as a newly acquired hus- band. The couple took up their resi- dence with the bride’s aunt, Mrs. Co- burn, on Broderick street, near Pine. They lived happily for a time, but about six weeks ago Mrs. McGinn brought suit for divorce, alleging cruelty. In the court Mrs. McGinn sald she had been knocked down by her brute of a husband. McGinn testified that he was obliged to knock her down to take a great wad of gum from her mouth. He said his wife was a great gum chewer and he always objected to it. He threatened the Keeley cure for her abominabie SET FIRE T0 THE MATTRESS An Insane Man Creates a Panic in the Receiv- ing Hospital. The Flames Discovered by a Woman Who Happened to Be Passing By. The Maniac Rescued by Doctors After Much Trouble and Placed in a Straitjacket. A wild-eyed, poorly clad individual, giving his name as 1. Antone, created a scene on Hayes street yesterday afternoon by proclaiming that he was | the ghost of Jay Gould and that he | had been sent by the late financier to provide for the poor. His clothing was decorated with roses and on the lapel of his coat he wore a piece of paste- board, which he claimed was a diplo- ma awarded him by the faculty of Yale College. To Lieutenant Birdsall Antone said he was living in the Baldwin Hotel and that his “‘pals” were ex-Chief of Police Crowley, “Jim” Corbett and Joe Poheim, the tailor. | “I am a crackajack,” he remarked. | *“No living man can beat me at my game.” “I've got $10,000 in my mind,” he de- clared, “and when my mind goes money so goes the money.” Believing that the man was crazy Lieutenant Birdsall crdered Policeman Joy, who had arrested him, to take him to the Receiving Hospital, where he was placed in a padded cell. Shortly afterward a woman who was passing the hospital saw a blaze in the Larkin-street wing, and she at once habit and finally resorted to violence. He knocked her down and dragged the | inevitable wad of gum from between her jaws. That led to divorce, and about a month ago the decree was granted.The friends of the two thought that that wad of gum had broken up a happy home. The divorced husband disappeared and Mrs. McGinn back to her aunt’s home to sorrow and curse her luck at drawing a blank in | the matrimonial lottery. A few days of sorrow, and she blos- | The ritual | somed out into as gay a grass widow as the sun ever shone on. Then, after @ few days of solitude in singleness, she began to call for the return of her husband. To her friends she began to make excuses for him, and said he was not nearly as black as he had been painted in the court. The friends looked almost daily for a reconcilia- tion, but did not expect it would result so romantically. When Mrs. McGinn disappeared and George McGinn was reported as missing, and when both went away at the same time, it was but natural for them to suppose that they had gone away together and once more live happily so long as the wad of gum does not intrude into the household and stick up the wings of Cupid. (HOVNSKT XD 'COY MAY MEET A Local Club Sends a Dispatch | to the “Kid,” Asking | His Terms. Joe When Here Expressed a Willing- ness to Do Battle With the Clever Middle Weight. Eddie Connolly and Dal Hawkins met for the first time last night since their recent encounter in the roped arena. “How are you feeling,” asked Con- nolly. “First rate,” answered Dal, “barring a sore neck. How is it with you?” “Well, I am recovering from the drubbing you gave me.” Last night Connolly received an of- fer from a Cincinnati club to meet Harry Dime in a twenty round bout in that city. He will accept the prop- osition and will leave in a few days for the East. This will be Connolly’s second meeting with Dime, having previously defeated him in a stub- bornly fought battle. The result of the McCoy-Creedon battle has aroused much local interest in sporting circles, and many judges of the game contend that Choynski and McCoy would make a great go. The fight promoters of a local club, it is understood, have sent a dispatch to McCoy asking him on what terms he will meet Choynski, the battle to take place in this city some time early in February next. Choynski when here expressed a willingness to meet McCoy. “There is no man whom I would sooner meet,” said the popular Californian, “than McCoy. There is not three pounds dif- ference in our weight, and we are equally matched so far as height and reach are concerned. But I do not think McCoy will consent to meet me. He has been approached several times, but has always given as an ex- cuse that he wasn't going out of his class.” There is nobody in the middle- weight class now who is capable of coping with McCoy, and he must nec- essarily take on heavy-weights in ar- ranging for future matches. In Favor of the Charter. Quite a large crowd attended the so- clalists’ meeting at 35 Eddy street last night. E. R. Noel was to have delivered the speech of the evening, but in his stead John M. Reynolds spoke on the charter. In the course of his address he stated that he indorsed the Social Labor party’s nominees, and he advised the reople to vote that ticket. He sald he pulled out of the ranks of the People's party and out of the committee of 100 and would thereafter cast his vote with the Social party. He gave a history of the previous charter conventions and what they had accomplished. He said that they have always been bribed by the business interests of the city and that if clected this time theg would have no gr{sgir ideals than the acquiring of we: Lecture on “New Methods.” Irving M. Scott delivered a lecture on “New Methods” before a large audience in the Mechanics’ Institute last evening. He compared the old and the new and mentioned electricity as a substitute for steam, machinery for manual labor, and went | notified Dr. Fitzbibbon, who was in charge. Accompanied by ‘“Colonel” Mogan, the steward, they rushed into | the insane ward and discovered the cell in which Antone was confined ablaze. During the temporary absence of the doctors the insane man ripped open the mattress in his cell, and taking out a handful of excelsior set fire to it. As Mogan unlocked the cell door Antone, holding in his right hand a portion of the burning excelsior, rushed into the corridor, shouting “I'm mad, let me go.” He was promptly seized and subse- quently placed in a straitjacket. After considerable trouble the fire was ex- tinguished. The mattress was de- | stroyed as well as a portion of the | padded walls. To-day Antone will be | | | | | | | | |taken before the Commissioners of | Lunacy to be examined. PERSONAL. | E. H. Campbell, Baldwin. Dr. J. Miller Moore, U. | California. R. C.
