FRESNO, May 27.—It is said revela- tions of a sensational character will be brought to light in a few days in con- | nection with the alleged Madera rob- bery. On the morning following the re- ported looting of the safe, after Deputy ! Tax Collector William Krohn was said to have had a desperate encounter with two masked robbers, District Attorney | Larew sent for Private Detective John | Curtin, and the latter has been working on the case since.

Ebanks retired early last night and seemed to sleep soundly, but was up and dressed in his convict apparel at 4 o'clock. This garb was changed to cit- izen’s clothing at 8 o’clock. Shortly be- fore Father Lagan arrived at 10 o'clock, ‘Warden Hale entered the doomed man’s cell and started to read the death war- rant. Ebanks grew impatient and said he cared to hear no more before the reading was a fourth finished. He re- mained in close consultation and pray- er with Father Lagan until the time came to mount the scaffold. Preceded by the priest, chanting the rites of the church, the murderer, suppcrted by a guard on each side, ascended the steps with a firm tread. His face was slight- 1y flushed and it could be seen that he | was under a strong tension, but, in the of the day, he died and F. Jones counted the heartbeats. They ceased in ten and a half minut After the body was cut down Ebanks' neck was found to have been broken by the fall. Under Father Lagan’'s direc tion, Coroner Eden of San Rafael re- moved the body to his undertaking parlors, whence it will be taken Mount Olivet Cemetery for burial. The crime for which anks forfeited his life was the murder of Mrs. Harriet Stiles, aged 60, and her father, aged 85, both of Riverside, near Oceanside, San Diego County, on September 10, 1895. The evidence was purely tial, but so damaging that the jury, without much delay, brought in a ver- diet of guilty. F execution was de- layed until this time by legal technical- ities and appeals to the State and Uni- ted States Supreme Court, the same procedure being followed as in the case of Durrant. The murderer was 33 years of age, and though born in England, was reared in the West Indies, where he had a wife and three children. Negro blood flowed in his veins, Ebanks .protested his innocence to the last, though singularly enough he admitted that his fate was just on ac- count of his having disobeyed injunc- tions received at his mother’s knee.

Mr. Curtin was more communicative. He has a theory, which is given for what it is worth. He says he does not believe there were any desperadoes in the office at all, and that all evidences of a terrible conflict were created by Krohn himself in an effort to give his robbery story a plausible aspect. He | believes the Deputy Collector was fak- | ing unconsciousness and says that all | the wounds were superficial, and, he | had no doubt, were self-inflicted. He | also discredits the story that Krohn | tells about the attempt to lock him in the safe, of the fight for his life and the hurling of missiles at the robbers, cut- | ting one of them. | But the strongest point in Curtin’s | opinion is the fact that there was not | $8000 in the safe that night, nor an | amount like that. The Tax Collector | was supposed to bank frequently, and on the 7th day of May he made a de- posit. It said that Krohn is not danger- ously ill, as reported. Detective Curtin gives it as his be- lief that defalcations to the amount of | | | | shortage, he thinks, will extend back several years and will cover more than one administration. He has not been | able to find anything against young | Krohn's reputation. Krohn did not | spend money for liquor, did not gamble, | and, In fact, was engaged in nothing | that would consume much money. The | deputy was practically conducting the office, as the Tax Collector is engaged | in business and turned over the office to his brother. Further than signing in the office. One of the peculiar features of the mystery is that young Krohn is not be- lieved to be short to any great extent. Curtin believes he attempted to shield all partles, sacrificing himself in the attempt. CORNERING THE BRITISH COLUMBIA HAY MARKET Rival Speculators Have Already Ad- vanced the Price to Eighteen Dollars a Ton. VANCOUVER, May 27.—The oat market of the province has been sucessfully cor- nered, and now an attempt is being made to corner the hay market. Two forces are at work—Chicago operators repre- sented by J. F. McLaughlin and a large firm in San Francisco, represented by one Jardine. The latter has been to Victoria and Vancouver and is now at Seattle. His purchases are said to be \'tr{ heavy and competitive buying between him and the Chicago peoyle has advanced the price already to $18. Jardine is sald to have stated while here that the California hay crop was a com- plete failure. If he cannot get a big rice here he will take the hay to San rancisco. There is not fifty tons of hay for sale in the province now, and the fight is very bitter between the opposing speculators, —_— One Councilman Too Many.

ESAILED TEN WEEKS AGO | e }TWO WHITES AND a CHINESE ABOARD. | Knew Nothing of the Northern Wa- ters and Encountered Rough Weather at the Outset. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, May 27.—The little Alas- kan schooner City of Sitka has been glven up as lost and three lives are | believed to have been sacrificed. Ten | weeks ago the schooner left Sitka for | Fort Wrangel with three men aboard. | | They were Herman Thomas, T. H. Bale | | and Ah Poy, a Chinaman. The schooner | was never reported after leaving the Sitka harbor, and the friends of the | men who sailed on her believe she went | down. | T. H. Bale and Herman Thomas, the | white men on the schooner, were not | acquainted with Alaskan waters and knew little about sailing a schooner. | They engaged the City of Sitka for a | trip to Fort Wrangel, where they hoped | to obtain work. Ah Poy, the China- man, wanted'to go down to Wrangel to | 8et a Job cooking. None of the three | knew anything about the inland pas- | sage, and their friends tried to dissuade lhqm from making the trip. No news of the wreck of the schooner has been received, and the Sitka people are now talking of sending a search party to determine its fate. It is be- | lieved the vessel struck a rock some- | where in the inland nassage during the bad weather early in March. If so all hands went down with the boat, or they | would' have communicated with Sitka | before this. | It is not an infrequent thing in the | northern waters for a small expedition | like the one on the City of Sitka to start out and never be heard from again. | Many men have lost their lives during | | the past winter in this way and the | fact has never been recorded. |CENTENNIAL NOW FLIES | THE STARS AND STRIPES. Newly Acquired Transport Will Leave Seattle for San Fran- cisco This Afternoon. SEATTLE, May 27.—The steamship | Centennial now flies the stars and | stripes. She has been accepted by the | United States Government as a trans- | port for the carrying of troops to the | Phillppines, and will sail some time | to-morrow afternoon for San Fran- | clsco. This evening and last night an | | armed guard of six men in the uniform | of the Government patrolled the Cen- tennlal to prevent possible attack or | meddling by Spauish emissaries. Every preczution was taken by Captain Rob- inson, the assistant quartermaster who has charge of the vessel, to prevent in- | | Jury to her machinery or hull. | Captain B. B. Whitney of this city | has been selected by the owners of the | Centennial as her master on the long voyage to Manila. Captain Whitney is | an experienced nevigator.

The Ohio is at present lying at anchor | in Elliott Bay, but is expected to begin taking on coal to-morrow morning. Her nominal passenger capacity is 600, but she will be fitted to take at least 200 more than this number.
