THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 1898 MEADORS HAS - COMMITTED TWO MURDERS| He Killed His Uncle in' Arkansas. WAS TRIED AND ACGUITTED MURDER OF URY DOES NOT SEEM TO WORRY HIM. The Prisoner, Who Will Set Up “the Plea of Self-Defense, Tells of His Varied | Career. | James Nathanlel Meadors, who Kkilled | Ponas Ury at Camp Barrett, could be tried, convicted, tenced to death and | executed by the military authorities if they so desired, as the murder was com- | mitted in a military camp and the mur- | derer and his victim being soldiers. It is usual, however, in such affairs to turn the prisoner over to the civil authori- ties, and this has been done in this case. . Private George S. Fouts of Company C gwore to a complaint in Justice of the Peace Laurence's court in st Oakland - yesterday morning, charging Meadors with the murder of Ury. The news of Ury’'s death did not seem to affect the murderer in the least, for he thatted pleasantly. “I am not at all worried about this mat- fer,” he said. “I have done nothing that any other man of nerve would not do un- der the same circumstances.

The pilferer of cupboards has gt last Deen brought to bay. The kitchan, the Store reoms. the bread bas- kets and the milk cans of the Mission homes will no longer be visited by the soft purloining: hand of -Liza Farrell, at least not for some time, for she s nOw gaz- ing through prison bars and awaiting the judgment of the police courts. Detectives Graham and F%tz cerald discovered the lady at the residence of Joseph F..K. Carpenter, 55 Valencia street, on Tuesday afternoon, and she was taken at once to the Seventeenth Street Station, where she was charged with petty larceny. “Now go easy, will you,” she said to Detective Fits- gerald, as he searched her person for Stolen edibles. ““Be careful, will you, or yowll smash those eggs. Let 'em alone; I'll give 'em to yer, though it breaks me heart,” and Liza of the gentle touch reached into the bosom of her dress and brought out a dozen of as fine eggs as_ever Leghorn laid. Fitzgerald ordered Liza to take off her bonnet, which she did very reluctantly. “Give me back me carrots,” she cried, as the turnips, carrots and other vegetables ralled out on'the floor. “Now, lady,” the detective continued, with adaman- tine persistence, ‘‘unburden yourself.”’ i “‘Not before you, sir. I want: you to understand that 1 will not disrobe before any and all of vou. 1 didn’t Tob you. at are you kieking at, I'd like to know, anyway. Well, if 1 must, here goes.” With the first arment edme a deluge of all things that Frenchmen, nglishman or German ever dreamed of in his mad visions of stomachic ‘material: Thére was a vegetable %arden, portions of a hennery, sections of ‘the pig and a it of 'charlotte rysse smeared around by way of deco- rations. Liza was mournful, for all of her week's labor was turned to naught, and ‘there she stood in her de- parted glory, surrounded by the fruits of her labors. For some months the Kitchens and outstanding cup- boards of the Mission houses have suffered from the depredations of this woman. One of the most constant losers is J. Hanna, 186 Lexington avenue. Mr. Hanna has noticed during the past few weeks an appreciable diminution of the milk in the can left out over night, and an occasional absence of a loaf of bread. Being great of heart, he thought it was due to some poor, estitute and hungry creature who wished to stave off starvation by appropriating milk and bread on occa- sions. But—Mr, Hanna changed his tack the ‘other morning when he went out to thecuphoard to get him- self a bone of ham. The, ham was gone, and Mr. Hanna sald something. Pursuing his investigations, he discovered that what was a well-filled larder the night before had been transformed into a complete vacuum. The next night he walted for the poor destitute prowl- er, but he waited in vain. This waiting pastime was indulged in_for the two next succeeding nights, but no one came for his bread and milk. The: fourth night Hanna was consumed with a desire to sleep, and.so he sought his bed. The following morning he rushed to the cupboard—the pound of cheese, the butter and the pickles were gone. Hanna is now editing a dictionary on profanity. He will be present at the trial of the fair Liza, the deft and apt lady of the Mission.
