He com- plained of *“British ignorance of Rus- sia’s. line of action,” and argue “Why does not England approach Rus- sia directly wit> a declaration that Russla’s interference in China will be regarded as a casus bell{? It is use- less to punish helpless China and to participate in the disintegration of the empire.

Outspoken in the Belief That Sons of Poisoned Woman Are Trying to Shield a Guilty Rela~ tive. i Special Dispatch to The Call. POINT ARENA, Aug. 30.—Disgusted with the slow progress in unraveling the mystery surrounding the murder of Mrs. Morse the citizens of this town have decided to petition Governor Budd to offer a reward for the apprehension of the person or persons who caused her death. They think that the Morse brothers are not ovéranxious to have the arrest made, knowing, it is claimed, that such course would mean the im- prisonment of at least one of their relatives for murder. “We are waiting patiently until the services of the private detective are dispensed with,” remarked one of the leading citizens to-day, “and then we intend to act. The investigation thus far has savored of a farce. Shortly after the commission of the crime we wanted to have at least two suspects arrested, but Le Grand Morse would not listen to us. He, however, prom- | ised us that Le would do all in his power to land the poisoner in jail and asked our co-operation. After consid- erable time hal elapsed and the fiend had completely covered up his tracks he sent to San Francisco for a private detective to work on the case. The de- tective has been here over a week and as far : = we know he has not been able to obtala a clew which would lead to the apprehension of the murderer. “As soon as the investigation is con- cluded we intend to appeal to Governor Budd, asking him to offer a reward of $2000 for the arrest and conviction of the murderers. After this is done we will appoint a committee to appear be- fore the Supervisors of this county, in- form them of the miscarriage of justice and request them to offer an additional reward. By these means we hope to make the gullty persons suffer for their awful crime. “I am morally certain that there are several people In this town who could shed some light upon the mystery, but | for various reasons they have refused to speak. A reward will no doubt in- duce them to tell what they know. Af- | ter we obtain sufficient evidence it is our purpose to lay the matter before the District Attorney and ask for war- rants for the arrest of the guilty. If Justice then fails we will always feel that we were not to blame.” “I hayve heard of the unfavorable comments about my action in the case,” replied Le Grand Morse, when told of the threatened appeal to .the Governor, “but I think they are very unjust. When I recovered from the ef- fects of the poisoned mush which I had eaten I at once communicated with De- tective Harry Morse of San Francisco, asking him to send one of the best men in his employ. As the detective whom he was anxious to send was out of the city he wrote me apprising me of that fact and promising to have him here as soon as possible. He came a few days later and has since been indus- triously working on the case. I have given him every opportunity to unravel the mystery, frequently assisting him in his work. While he has accumulated some evidence against certain persons there is not enough to warrant me in having them arrested. It is an injustice to me to have it said I have not done all in my power to land the guilty party or parties behind prison bars. I have already spent considerable money in trying to ferret out the murderers of my poor mother and if necessary would give all my earthly possessions to see the fiends locked in jail. It is understood that the detective will in a few days make his final re- port to Morse and be dismissed. He will accuse nobody of the crime, but will strongly intimate it was com- mitted by relatives who are under sus- picion. There are many persons here who are inclined to believe that Mrs. Morse just before her death spoke the name of one of the persons who poisoned her. This Is emphatically denied by Le Grand Morse. He says that after he had partaken of a few teaspoonfuls of the mush he felt sick and told his mother that he thought he was pois- oned. She also complained of feeling {ll, and, mixing an emetic, she ordered her son to take it. He begged her to drink it, saying that he would wait un- til she had been relieved of the poison. With true motherly devotion Mrs. Morse ordered her son to take emetic while she stood by, suffering excruciat- ing pain from the effects of the dead- 1y mush. After her son had taken the emetic Mrs. Morse hastily prepared a fresh emetle, and, after taking it, lay down on a lounge. When asked by her son how she felt, the aged victim whispered that she was very sick and thought she would die. “Who could have done this?"” asked' of her son. He replied that he did not know, but would do all in his power to find out. According to Morse, those were the only words spoken by his mother after she was taken sick. After his mother had passed away, the victim of a cruel poisoner, Lewis Morse, suspecting that Mrs. Spaulding had committed the deed, proceeded to have her arrested. His brother, however, refused to al- low him to act, claiming there was not sufficient evidence against her. Since she then other relatives have been placed under the ban of suspicion, but for some unexplained reason no attempt has been made to connect them with Your Eerves If They Are Weak and You Cannot Sleep, Take Hood's Sarsaparilla.

BRITTAN CHARGES DESERTION ANDFAIL- URE TO PROVIDE Inquiry Into the Clubman’s Finan- cial Status in a Redwood City Court Productive of a Sensation. 2 g 1 S Speclal Dispatch to The Call. REDWOOD CIT AV\IZA 30.—The marital woes of Nat Brittan andphis er- Isabella, were aired in the Su jor Court to-day. Mrs. Brittan began suit for divorce last June, charging ex- treme cruelty on the part of her hus- band. The proceeding Dbefore Judge Buck to-day was the application of Mrs. Brittan to secure $1500 per month alimony and $5000 counsel fees. The plaintiff was represented by George C. Ross and Reardon & Lande of San Francisco and the defendant by Ed- Ward F. Fitzpatrick and John L. Love, also of San Francisco. : An affidavit was read from the plain- tiff stating that during the last two years her husband had lived apart from his family and had refused to provide for them the necessaries of life. Thers are three daughters whom the mother deslres to rear in a manner suitable to their station in life, but has been un- able to do so owing to her own small income and to Mr. Brittan’s indiffer- ence. In her testimony she stated that Brittan had warned various tradesmen of San Francisco not to give her credit and on this account she was subjected to much humiliation and insult. Dur- ing their residence in San Francisco Mrs. Brittan stated that her husband was in the habit of spending successive days and nights at the gaming table, and once after a three days’ bout with the sports he returned somewhat in- ebriated in the company of Warren Payne, and when she remonstrated Payne took a hand in the discussion and informed her that Mr. Brittan's conduct was perfectly proper and in ac- cordance with his rights as a free American citizen, or words of that im- port. In addition to lack of provisions Mrs. Brittan alleged that she suffered from lack of firewood. On one occasion she went forth and felled a tree herself and provided the necessary fuel, but the ex- ertion cost her several days of sickness. On cross-examination it was brought out that her various creditors held Mr. Brittan responsible for all bills, and outside of a few dealers Mrs. Brittan had no trouble in procuring the actual necessaries of life. Mr. Brittan, it was claimed, was willing to pay his wife any reasonable alimony, but thought the amount asked was exorbitant. During Brittan’s examination the at- torneys sought to bring out more testi- mony regarding his domestic affairs, | but were stopped by the Judge, whe ad vised that the only tesuimony required at this proceeding was that which would throw light upon the defendant’s financial status in order that the court might dispose of the alimony question. An examination on this line disclosed an alarming condition of affairs. What with trust deeds, mortgages, first and overlapping, the genial clubman is lit- erally smothered in debt, his liabilities | amounting to $149,000. 070 Treatment Free. 070 Treatment Eree. 00 Treatment Free, 070 Treatment Free. 070 Treatment Free. 020 Treatment Free.
