REZvam Vol ol ¢ STILL WRAPPED \ MYSTERY Willey’s Death Was Prob- ably Only a Sad Accident. Coroner’s Jury, However, in Doubt About How He Came to His Death. Have It May Have Been De- sign. It May As a reult of the examination of the Coroner’s jury into the facts surround- ing the death of Charles W. Willey, who was found dead in his room at 1145 Mission street on Saturday last, a verdict was rendered by the jury yes- terday morning at the Morgue that the deceased came to his death from car- bon monoxide poisoning, caused by in- haling gas, but the jury was unable from the evidence to determine whether his death was the result of accident or | design. The inquest had been adjourned over from Thursday at the requést of At- torney A. L. Hart, who represents Wil- ley’s relatives, and yesterday he in- formed the Ceroner that they were sat- isfied that his death was caused by gas, and not by any other means. The jury then returned its verdict, and the re- mains were conveyed to the Masonic Cemetery at 11 o'clock and were in- terred. Willey’s death is surrounded by cer- tain mysterious circumstances, which have grown out of the fact that he left a will, in which he makes Mrs. J. B. Muirhead of 3% Larkin street his sole and absolute heir, and the property left by this will i8 supposed to be valued at $80,000. A. W. White of Marysville and W. K. Springer, now of this city, are the relatives who have employed At- torney Hart to look after their interests in the case with the view of breaking the will. The will is dated November 17, 1896, and, while it was in Willey’s handwrit- ing, it is supposed to have been drawn up by a lawyer, as it was couched in legal terms. The suppcsition is that it was drawn up by an attorney and then copied by Willey. Attorney T. J. Lyon, who has had charge of illey’s af- fairs for some time, and with whom he was most intimate, is the person who is supposed to have drawn the will, but | when asked the question if he had done so he refused to either affirm or deny it. It appears that Willey's relatives when they learned of the circumstances of his death had their suspicions aroused, and at once determined to make an investigation. For this pur- pose they secured as counsel Attorney Hart, who had the cremation of the body stopped on Tuesday upon the grounds that the relatives desired an inquest held. They were further desir- ous ¢f having the dead man's stomach analyzed, but are said to have been de- terred in this by the cost. Willey’s past life tends to give the true solution of his death, and also the incentive that must have caused him | to make the will that he did. His rela- tions with his family were not of a happy nature, and when his father dled he left his property, then valued at $125,000, to charitable institutions, and to his son Charles he left only the small | annuity of $500, with the proviso that if he contested the will he was to get nothing. Subsequently, upon the death of his mother, he received a legacy of $100 a month from certain rentals, but this property so depreciated that for the last three years he is said to have realized nothing from this source. His father before his death made a deed of trust giving away his property, and in his will he provided for the distribution of such property as was not covered in the terms of the will, Attorney Lyon broke the deed of trust in the Superior Court of this city, and he later broke the terms of the will in the Probate Court, but it was car- ried by the trustees, for the estate, Dr. ‘William Boericke and E. W. Carpenter, to the Supreme Court upon an appeal. Willey’s father is said to have disin- herited his son because of his dissipat- ed habits, and there was no love lost between them. In fact, Willey on more than one occasion expressed to his friends, the Muirheads, the desire to be cremated when he should die, as he did ADVERTISEMENTS. nameline TheModern STOVE POLISH.

Attorney Lyon was of the opinion that Willey had for some reason light- ed the gas, and had failed to turn it off entirely, and that he had then lain down and been overcome. Willey was 27 years of age, and had been married, but was divorced from his wife. MUST NOW GO INTO: COURT. The Hearstlings Have Exhausted All Legal Technicalities and Must Answer Charges. The actions of Claus Spreckels against | Hearst, Lawrence and Williams, and Hearst, Lawrence and Aiken of the Ex- aminer for libel will soon come to trial. The defendants have exhausted all legal technicalities to keep out of court and no- thing now remains for them but to fille answers to the complaints against them and set up the best defense at their com- mand. Yesterday In Judge Hunt's court the default of Williams In the first case and that of Alken in the second were opened and made a matter of record. Attorney Garret McEnerney, representing the de- fendants, then made an application to the court to be allowed to amend the demur- rers of Williams, Lawrence and Alken to the complaints. Grove L. Johnson op- posed the application and Judge Hunt de- | nfed it. The original demurrers on file | were then withdrawn by the defendants’ attorney and the court allowed fifteen | days to the defendants in which to flle an an er to the complaint. This closed the day’s proceedings and when the answer i‘s'fllled the case will be on a fair way to rial. MISSION MEN ARE INDIGNANT A Mass - Meeting Arranged Against a Proposed Zoo and Park. Property-Owners Will Voice Their Sentiments—Dr. Clinton Will | Speak. The wave of indignation that has for some time been gathering force and vol- | ume in the Mission over the proposed purchase of a site for the Misssion Park | and Zoological Garden has taken form, | and in no uncertain manner. | Te opponents of the vast expense that | the Board of Supervisors are endeavor- | ing to foist on the city have decided that | the only way to convince the board that | public sentiment in the Mission is against the matter is to hold an {indignation meeting and send up a roar against the purchase of the Gum Tree Tract that will reach those who have the decision in the matter in a ‘manner that cannot be misunderstood. The officers of the Folsom Street Club have been quietly working the meetin, up for two weeks past, and the call wil be issued to-day for the gathering. Mangels Hall, at Twenty-fourth and FO?- som streets, has been chosen as the place for the gnlhering. but it is probable that the hall, commodious as it is, will not be capable of holding the throng that will attend, as the petition against the pur- chase of Whirlwind Gulch was signed by more than 3000 property-owners of the )Hgs!on district. ne member of the Board of Super- visors—Dr. C. A. Clinton—will takenerl prominent part in the proceedings. He has prepared a mass of figures to show that the park is not only unnecessary at. the present time, but that the price that it is }lropnsed to pay for the selected tract is exorbitant. Other speakers of | note will be A. B. McGuire, the contrac- | tor, and Charles Adpers. The committee | in charge of the arrangements consists of ‘%S?hlnh McEnhill, J. Sullivan and John | Welch. ——e——— FOREIGN CONSIGNEES. | | il | Compliance With the Laws of a | State Will Entitle Them to Recelve Goods. The Treasury Department has made a new reguldtion, based upon an opinion of the solicitor of the treasury, with refer- ence to the fmportation of foreign goods consigred to allens. It had been the regu- lation ptrlior to t]l’ae opinfon that a foreign corporation could not import the United States. The %p]nlgr‘;oel?a:nf: the matter of the Russlan Company for | Sea, River and Land Insurance, which sent some goods to New York, consigned to itself. Lazar Holtzoff presented a power of attorney from the company, gave proof that the company had com- gvlicd with all the laws of the State of ew York, and demanded entry for the EoRe. solicltor of th e solicitor o e treasury rende; the opinion that a power o i(!urr‘;:g filed by a foreign corporation which has complied with the requirements of the laws of a State may be accepted for cus- toms purpoOses in the same manner as in a case of a domestic corporation. —_——— Marsden Manson to Lecture.

Justice Barry Is Wroth and Wants His Orders Obeyed Forth- with. Private Detective John Gamage isin grave danger of going to jall for con- tempt because of his refusal to obey the process of the Justices’ courts. The name of Gamage {s famillar about the Justices’ courts, where It figures as the plaintiff in many petty actions, and it is not infrequent that the name figures in the role of de- fendant. Gamage the plaintiff is not Gamage the defendant, however, the palr being father and son. Gamage Sr. obtained goods to the ex- tent of $112 from a downtown mer- chant some time ago, and the claim eventually got into the hands of W. S. Morrow, the collector. He sued the sleuth, got a judgment, and then began ?‘search for some means of satisfying Gamage apparently had no property that could be levied upon, so an order of examination was obtained to ascer- tain whether there was any chancefof payment. The order was duly set gnd called, but the detectlve failed to p- pear, and a citation for contempt fvas the next proceeding. The young man of Morrow's office had an exciting experience in locat'ng the detective. The only way he knew was to follow Gamage's wife, and this he did for seven consecutive hours. His perseverance was finally rewardgd and he smilingly handed Gamage th{ cita- tion. His reward was an order leave the office, followed by from the detective and a sho: blows that drove him outside tal. Gamage pald no more attention to the citation for contempt than he did to the order of examination, arfd on the facts being reported to Justice of the Peace Barry, who had issued the two papers, the judicial light decided on su;xnmasy xgeasure;. e ordered an order of ar; forthwith, and sent it to th;?;:.gu’;sfgi service. Gamage may be as hard to find in this instance as he was when a citation for contempt was chasing him but it {s & fair presumption that the server will not fare as did his prede- cessor, as the Sheriff's deputies are stalwart and experienced and blows are usually met in kind and with interest. A COUNTERFEIT DOLLAR. It Leads to Trouifl:natween a Pas- senger and Conductor. O. E. Christoffersen, a cierk, was ar- rested yesterday afternoon on ' charge of passing counterfeit money, but accord- ing to his story the proper person to be arrested should be the conductor of a Mission street electric car. Christoffersen had bought a W%tch in a Kearny street store and jumped on a passinj car to go home. When the gu:é;cg{gfi asked for his fare he gave him a dollar which he had recelved as change from the jeweler and recelved 9 cents change. In a few minutes the conductor came to him and presenting to him a dollar piece sald that it was bogus. He claimed that he got it from Christoffersen and wanted the 9 cents back and five cents for his fare, Christoffsrsen expressed a doubt as to the dollar being the one he gave him and refused to acknowledge it, as it might be a trick on the part of the con- ductor to get rid of a counterfeit dollar. The conductor persisted and Christof- fersen obstinately refused to disgorge. When the car reached the crossing at Third and Misslon streets the conductor called Policeman John Wallace and in- structed him to arrest Christoffersen on a charge of passing counterfeit money. The dollar was given as evidence. Chris- toffersen was released on$60 cash bail. He sald hef'o‘(flhd flg:";dsé: casg&nd make it warm_ for the or or through with him.

LADIES T0 HOLD A CHURCH FAIR Will Assist the Priests of St. Patrick’s Church. Money Sorely Needed to Put the Old Edifice in Re- pair. Arrangement of the Booths and the Names of Those Who Will Be in Charge. The ladles of St. Patrick's parish, under the immediate direction of Fath- er John Brennan, will hold the first Catholic fair that the church has ever known since its foundation, forty-seven years ago. At the time of the erection of the church, San Francisco, with its present population of nearly half a million souls, was nothing more, than a mining camp with a sparsely scat- tered population numbering but g few hundred peoples The present appeal for aid and support from the Catholic population generally, will be the first ever made by the priests of the par- ish, and in consideration of this fact it is expected that the present demand for assistance will be considered no more than right, as the finances of the church are extremely low at present and are not sufficient to repair the sadly neglected condition of the build- ing. As St. Patrick’s Church has ex- tended a helping hand scores of times to parish churches in distress and straitened financial circumstances in, the past, it is expected that the present appeal made by the people of the old Mission street edifice will meet with kindly consideration andliberalsupport, and that their coming fair will meet with an unprecedented success. The outlook at present, to use the words of Father Brennan, the director of the fair, is more than encouraging, not- withstanding the fact that the venture is as yet in an embryonic state. To remodel the church and to make a number of extensive and needed re- pairs in the parochial residence consti- tute the main and principal reasons why a fair was considered necessary in order to raise the $10,000—the amount needed—to effectively carry on the work and make the desired improve- ments. ““As all the Catholics, that is, the ear- ly Catholics of the city, at one time or anpther, lived in this parish, it stands to reason,” said Father Brennan, “that they owe us a debt of gratitude. Be- sides the parish is yearly becoming poorer. Those who make money here, when they have accumulated a suffi- cient amount, or when they get into more prosperous circumstances, as a rule, move away to other parts of the city. For the last few years churches, especially down-town churches, have have had a hard struggle to maintain themselves. Churches of other de- nominations, as a matter of fact, have for the most part closed their doors en- tirely, transferring their fleld of work to other parts of the city, where they could stand better chances of obtaining the necessary support. I think if the people of other sections of the city where their own parishes are in no need of immediate assistance could hear of our present distress they would contribute liberally toward our coming enterprise.’” The following is the arrangement of booths, with the names of those who will be in charge of them: Children of Mary Booth—Mrs. M.

JAMES BEN BENNETT SENTENGED. The Would-Be Wife-Murderer Will Go to San Quentin for Two Years. James G. Bennett was before Judge Wallace yesterday for sentence, and his Honor ordered that the convict who nearly killed his wife with a knife, then made an attempt to cut his own throat, escaped from the Receiving Hospital and was recaptured fn British Columbia, be taken to San Quentin and be therein con- fined for a period of two years. When Bennett's case was called Judge Ferral, who represented the risoner, made a few remarks regarding his client’s previous good character and asked that the court sentence the pris- oner to a term in the County Jail. As Bennett was convicted of an assault with a deadly weapon it was optional with the court to send Bennettt .either to the County Jail or State prison. Judge Wallace, owing to the brutality of the crime committed by the prisoner, sald that he felt it his duty to impose the full penalty of the law, and in conse- quence Benneft will wear the stripes. —————— MUST GET A SWAB.

The Judge sald he would convict the defendant, as he did not consider the Police Court the proper tribunal for de- ciding upon the constitutionality of the ordinance, which could be done by the higher court. Sentence was by consent deferred for a week to enable the defendant’s attorney, Colonel Smith, to prepare an appeal to the Superior Court. —_———— Durrant’s Personal Effects. W. A.
