When she discovered that the attor- neys of the opposition knew of her union with Taylor she then had recourse to a story about seeing an article in the pa- pers which reported a wreck of a bark- entine on which her husband had sailed. According to her story all the crew was reported lost. Her testimony in the dep- osition shows that she could not recollect the name of the vessel, the captain or any of the crew. She also stated that after she read of the loss of the ship on which her husband had sailed to his death she made inquiries of the Lynde- Hough Company of this city and was in- formed there that the news was true. Lawrence Noonan, the president of the Lynde - Hough Company, admits that Carrie had called at his office, but he says that she was informed that her hus- band had safled on the barkentine J. H. Falkenberg, and that she left a letter to be delivered to him upon his return. A month after this she married one Swee- ney in Los Angeles. This was in May, 1897. In December of the same year Car- rie Walton married McDermott. Previ- ous to her marriage with Ta}'\nr she was united in the sacred bonds of matrimony with Frank Walton, who was her first venture. The attorneys have no trace of Swee- ney, but they claim to have found Tay. lor, and on this they will build their case to wrest the $10,000 from the much- spoused lady which McDermott has left her. HOW CRIMINALS GO UNWHIPPED OF JUSTICE AFTER ROBBING CHEW SING HE LEFT TO AVOID ARREST. | Somebody Has TUsed Influence | Shield a Man Charged With a State Prison Offense. to The usual serenity that surrounds the rroceedings in Judge Low's court was suddenly disturbed yesterday morning | when it was ascertained that the com- plaint charging Charles Smith with high- way robbery was missing. Smith, with four others, met Chew Sing, & Chinese frult peddler, on Twentieth an Capp streets on the morning of June 18, &nd uncercmoniously stood him up and relleved him of $13. The assault was wit- nessed by Rev. Mr. Kilgrew from his win- dow at 3446 Twentleth street, and he gave the alarm. The sudden interruption frightened the highwaymen and attracted the attention of the police, and they ar- rested Ed and James Terry, Louis Cuneo and another young man named Carr. In the meantime Charles Smith made his escape by jumping fences and secreting himself in the railroad sheds until he boarded an outgoing freight train and made his way to Castroville, where he re- mained until last week. Then he returned to the city. He was seen on last Sun- day night on Folsom street by Police Ofli- cer Neil Reardon, who recognized nim. Reardon took him to the Central Station ond booked him on the charge of robbery., When the case was.called on Monday morning it was found that the complaint Wwas nowhere to be found.

Of tha 159 people who rushed to Kotzebue in search of a fortune twenty-nine are sald to have lost their lives In the treacher- ous waters of the Kubuck River. Strange to say, not one of the men who came down on the Northern Light can tell the names of those who perished. All they can tell 1s that a launch was sunk in such and such a place; a landslide covered a boat at another point on the river, while yet another launch struck a snag and went down with all hands. Those who came back on the Northern Light were: A. O. Lindsey, C. E. Gor- don, G. W. Pickett, J. G. Williams, Charles Gleaves, C. T. Le Mare, Dr. E. A. Robinson, H. Mather, W. Scott, J. Blumer, J. ¥.

Johnston and Walter Johnston. Of these Dr. Robinson and T. Johnston went up on the Northern Light. They did not like the prospects and returned.

Charles W. Baumann was formerly a m ber of the Pac! Coast Co-operative Cigar Manufacturing Company. While living at the New Washington_ Hotel he formed the acquaintance of a Mrs. Her~ mann, a handsome young married woman, She fell madly in love with “Charley,” and finally made his life miserable with her attentions. In order to escape her he sold out his interest in the cigar fac- tory and quietly took passage on the bark Alaska for Kotzebue. Everything was kept very quiet, and Charley got away “'lilhout .

He was not to get rid of her so easily, however. | Three days after the Northern Light g0t to sea it was reported to the captain that the vessel was leaking. The pumps | were ~sounded, and Capain Whiteside found the bark was making water fast. | The story of the three auger holes in the bow of ‘the ship and their location by Mate Tilton has already been told exclu- vely in The Call, but his other find has not yet been made public. Stowed away in a snug littlenest among the cargo was Mrs. Hermann. She was | well supplied with food and water but nearly dead from seasickness and her cramped position. She told Captain Whiteside when brought on deck that she would kill herself if she was not taken along. Once when Baumann tried to dis- card her she nearly killed him, so she said, and twice she attempted suicide be- | cause he would not love her with all his | heart and soul.

Mate Tilton of the Northern Light is the man who performed the marvelous feat of walking across Aladka in the dead of winter with news from the fmprisoned whalers at Point Barrow. In t the Kotzeoue Sound rush he said: Nearly all the people who went up there will remain all winter.

In his address the young soldier made no at- tempt at oratory, but told in an unaffect- ed manner of what he had seen and heard. His style of narration quickly found favor with his audience. At times the humorous side of army scenes was presented in a way that shows that a sol- dier can appreciate fun as well as fight- ing. His address took the form of a run- ning narrative of what happened from the time his regiment broke camp to the time that he was lald low on the battle- field of Santlago with that dread disease, vellow fever, which made his return to civilization necessary. Of the movements of the army, the quickness and dispatch in doing things the lieutenant spoke in the highest praise. The reception of the soldiers at Tampa, Florida, he said, was nothing like that given to those who came to San Fran- cisco. Here they were well cared for by the citizens, but there they were regarded as a legitimate prey. Prices were doubled for all articles of trade, and it was not long before shop-keepers who had pre- viously been barely making a living were rolling in money and overbearing in man- ner. For the Cubans proper Lieutenant Welch has but little respect. They seem to have but two ambitions—to steal and eat, and to avold work as though it was another form of “yellow jack.” In contrast to his opinion of the na- tives of Cuba the young officer has the highest respect for the army mule, which is a hero, carrying ammunition and food into the very heart of the fighting, liv- ing on what he ceunld get, and never com- plaining.

Her head ached, her body was ‘worn and tired and she suffered all the pangs and rhysical tortures that alcchol alone could assuage. A small tumbler of the coveted spirits swallowed straight, surely and steadily, with every evidence of gratification, and the nerve-racked woman lay back on her narrow white cot to woo the sleep that had persistently held aloof for nearly ninety hours.

The heavy breathing of the would-be suicide woke her cellmate, Mrs. Cordelia Botkin, and she, with the matron, Mrs. Casey, went to the sufferer’s stance. Mrs. Shields was quickly restored to this sphere of woe and suffering and transferred to the Re- . ceiving Hospital. where she rested all day yesterd There is nothing attractive nor prepossessing about the woman who calmly admits that she committed arson ‘“‘to get money—the insurance of course.” The seriousness of the charge against her, the awful crin.e of which she is accused, leave her cold, hard and indifferent as to the rave punishment that mav ensue. he appears to be thoroughly ir- responsible. Beacom lit the match and, according to his accomplice, Beacom is the guilty one, the man to whom the rigid penalties for arson are to be meted out. In discussing her terrible crime, Mrs Shields makes no attempt at concealment. The facts, as she re- calls them, do not.impress her with the full measure of their hideous- ness. *“‘Beacom made a botch of it,” she says and therein to the pris- oner lies the only crime.

Mrs. Shields was not in court, but Attorney Meredith, the law artner of Judge Evans, Mrs, hields’ attorney, asked for a con- tinuance for a week owing to the absence from the city of Judge Evans. “It was cle fair that tge woman’s interests should be prop- erly looked after during the examin- ation,” he said, “and for that reason he asked for the continuance. Judge Mogan granted the request and set the hearing for a week from Friday, after fixing the bail in both cases at $5000. Beacom and Mrs. Shields will only be prosecuted on the charge of arson in the second degree. It would be necessary to prove that somebody was in the building when it was fired whose life was in danger, in order to make a first-degree charge hold, and there was nohod%v in the house so far as Marshal Towe can learn.
