HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1898. _1?_____—__.___——-————————————————-——————:;;"—_— BELIEVE HE S A P WAS FOULLY DEALT WITH Suspicion That Did Not Take His Own Life. His Friends Thinking He Was Murdered Have Asked the Thorough Investigation. The friends of Gustave Berlin, whose‘ lifeless body was found hanging in a| room at 118 Eleventh street at an early | hour yesterday morning, do not believe | that he committed suicide. So convinced | are they that he was the victim of foul | play that they yesterday afternoon vis- ited police headquarters and asked Cap- tain Bohen to make an investigation. Shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday morr- | ing the landlady of the house where the unfortunate man lived heard a cullar noise and started to investigate. On entering Berlin’s room she was hor- rified to find him in a half-kneeling pos- ture with a rope around his neck. He was beyond all human aid, having been strangled to death. The fatal rope was attached to a hook in a closet in the room and the other end fastened around his neck. The astonished landlady lost no | time In notifying the police and word was at once sent to the Coroner. Thinking it | was a case of sulcide the Coroner's depu- ties, after a cursory examination, remov- ed the body to the Morgue. Berlin arrived here from Alaska on Sep- | tember 11. He had over $00 in his posses- sion, which represented the amount he had earned in the gold flelds. Shortly af- ter his return to this city he visited Han- na Nes, a Swedish woman, who lives at 1604 Mission street. Her brother had ac- companied him to Alaska nnd as he was leaving him Nes begged him to see his sister and explain to her that he was do- ing as well as could be expected. Berlin, | anxious to show his appreciation for his companion’s sister, bought her several | presents. it last time she saw him alive was ago. He seemed happy | woman with him. | About four hot Gustave Berlin Police to Make a and contented, and spoke of returning to Alaska. “I do not belleve he committed suicide,” declared the woman last night. “He always jovial, and in my opinion he was the last man in the world who would kill himself. Before he went to Alaska he wanted to make me his wife, but I re- fused. On his return he did not attempt to renew his offer, knowing that I would not marry him. It is true he bought me a few presents, but he understood that | they were to promote friendship more | than lov Through the death of a rela- tive he was left $8000, which is on deposit in a bank in Sweden. He could have had the money at any time, but as he had s ficfent on which to live he did not want {u touch the amount which had been left him. “It seem strange, to say the least, that when his liftless body was_discovered only a very few dollars were found in his pocket: ‘‘He was not a drinking man and not given to spending his money reckles: The detectives are at work on the cs e, and I fully believe that they will gather sufficient evidence to show that ne did not die by his own hand.” The landlady of the house where Ber- | 1in’s body was found says that shortly be- his room she saw a They were standing a short d{stance from the house and seemed engaged in earnest conversation. Sudden- ly the woman screamed and ran up the street followed by Berlin. He overtoc her, and after calling her several vile names struck her, knocking her down. Evidently fearing arrest he quickly en-| tered the house and went to his room. | r she heard a pecu- liar noise, and suspecting something wrong, went to his room to find his life- less body dangling from a rope. The de- tectives have been looking for the woman with whom he had trouble, but up to a late hour last night they had not suc- | ceeded in finding her. | fore he went to WIDBER ADMITTED | JURY HEARS THE STYRY OF DE- | FALCATION.

TROPHY FROM CAVITE. - — orned the épanislz Coat of Arms That Ad JArsenal. HE Bohemian Club is in possession of the finest trophy of the war that has come to San Francisco. Yesterday Major James A. Thompson found upon opening the letters addressed to him as president of’the Institution one which reads as follows: U. 8. 8. OLYMPIA, August 30, 1898. Sir: 1 have no ancestral hall in which to hang trophies of the fight. Do you think the club would like to have the one enclosed? I knocked it off the arsenal at Cavite a few days after May 1, 1888, If the club does not care for it kindly let me know, and I will dispose of it in some other fashion. RICHARD LEAL, Seaman, U. 8. 8. Olympia. The President, Bohemian Club, San Francisco. The box accompanying the letter was opened at once and the souvenir brought to light. The trophy consists of the Spanish coat of arms on a shield of carved wood and stucco. The colors are slightly dimmed by exposure to the weather, as the piece had been used as an exterior ornament. The dimen- sfons of the trophy are 26x18 inches. The arms of Aragon and Castile, the standards, the lions, Neptune's trident,bayonet, cannon and anchor, are placed artistically on the shield as the illustration shows.

WITH A LOADED GUN. The Dead Man Leaves a Widow and | Two Children—Will Be Buried by Independent Order of Red Men. The body of Willlam Imsick of 1321 Broadway was found yesterday morning lying near a fence on the Masterson ranch, near San Mateo. Imsick left this city yesterday morning on one of his fre- quent duck hunting expeditions, and he was evidently killed by the accidental dis- charge of his shotgun as he was crossing the fence near which his body was found. There was nothing on the body by which it could be identified except an emblem of the lodge to which he belonged, Vor- waerts Stamm No. 255, L. O. R. M., and the secretary of that body in this city was immediately communicated with and identification was established. The body was removed to San Mateo and taken in charge by the Coroner there.

Gunst Beélieves That Our Policemen Are the Best, and Our Detec- tives the Worst, in the World. Our only Moses Gunst of the Police Commission is happy in a degree, but not supremely happy. His observations | abroad convinced him that our police | force is the finest in the world. Yet fur-| ther observation along the line of police administration convinced him that our detectives are the worst in existence. In | a burst of confidence he imparted to a friend his mental conclusions on these two points. In San Francisco many peo- ple may not agree with Moses on his first proposition, but few will dissent from the correctness of his views on the second count. Moses_has been home a week and two days, - During_all this time Chief Lees has been in San Francisco. The town i8 large enough for both. The day after the arrival of Moses the Commissioner and the Chief ‘met under one roof—the roof of the old Baldwin Hotel. The next day one room was large enough to hold both of them. The march of peace and tranquillity was so rapid that one even- ing later Moses and lsaiah touched el- bows in the cafe. The scene was so touching that the bystanders at the Bald- win began talking of the J)r[)specls of complete reconciliation, and were still talking on the same topic yesterday. This dawn of harmony will be wel- comed by Commissioners Tobin and Al- vord, who were once apprehensive that their brother Commissioner might get excited beyond the limits of human en- durance - in his efforts to restrain the usurpations ' of the Chief.

Nead and his pallid-faced little wife what they pretend to be, or are they the vile creatures the police and a few denizens of the tenderlofn would stamp them? If their statements are true—and cer- tainly they bear every impress of truth— no greater injustice was ever heaped upon two guiltless persons. If they are gullty of the offenses against soclety they are charged with, no more consum- mate actors ever appeared in the role of injured innocence. There are some things that seem to bear out their assertions. In the first place the woman, although convicted, is at liberty on her own recognizance, sen- tence having been suspended for thirty days, while the man is out on $250 cash bail. Were they guilty their natural im- pulse would be to escape, for to such people the ball would be of secondary consideration. Instead, they have re- turned to thelr rooms at 125 Turk street, never denying themselves to visitors and giving no thought to flight. Fear of im- prisonment does not concern them; on the contrary, all their energies are bent toward clearing their name of the ter- rible stain upon it. Seated in the front room of the base- ment at 125 Turk street, which is at once their parlor and sleeping room, a Call reporter yvesterday” afternoon listened to the life-story of the Neads, and the hus- band told it, ana read ietiers from min- isters of the gospel at the East and on Puget Sound addressed to Nead and couched in terms such as only men of the cloth would use in addressing one of their number. Lying in the bed, her features white and drawn with suffering, but withal clear-cut and refined and illu- minated with big, fearless blue eyes, lay Mrs. Nead, who occupy the upper part of the house, | for she, was very ill, and the doctor's | coming ‘was anxiously awaited. It was a simple story, simply told, al- though once or twice the man, not robust | physically and by no means a giant intel- lectually,gave way to his emotions and the tears coursed down his cheeks despite his apparent efforts to hide them, while the little frame on the bed shook with sobs. Particularly was this the. case when Nead spoke of his brother, whom he asserted was the “Billy” Nead a dispatch in yesterday's Call from Sioux | City referred to. “I am a licensed exhorter of gospel,” sald Nead, “and have devoted much of my time to mission work In Sioux City and throughout that section of My wife's father was a mail carrier there before his death and one of | her uncles is a preacher. My wife was a | telephone operator prior to our marriage, and there are hundreds in Sioux City who know her and her family Intimately. While I was in Sioux City I was engaged in business, having two stores and send- mg wagons out through the country. I did an extensive credit business and final- ly became deeply involved. One of my Eastern creditors sent in a printed slip containing a number of questions as to my labilities. At the bottom was the | | | | | | the question, ‘Have you any confidential debts?”” There were some old notes out- standing which my first wife agreed, when we were divorced, to take up out of the property I turned over to her. I was afterward assured this had been done consequently I wrote ‘No’ after that ques tion. My former wife, however, had not met the notes, and when I was forced to assign the Eastern house caused m ar- rest for attempting to defraud m: ed- itors. I was honorably acquitted the charge, and early in the present year I went to Seattle. My health was very bad there, and I wrote to Rev. G. W. L. Brown, pastor of the First M. E. Church of Sioux Falls, what he thought about my returning there and devoting my time to mission work. Rev. Mr. Brown and I are old friends and have been much together in_church work. Here is his reply.”” Nead produced a letter written on a letterhead of the First M. E. Church of Bioux City, and signed by Rev Mr. Brown. It was most friendly in tone and spoke of thelr long friendship. It frankly advised him against his proposed step because of the prejudice that might exist were he to enter upon church work there. Other letters were also shown, among them being one from Rev. A. Warren of Blaine, Wash.; Rev. S. Fletcher McGuire, ‘Wessington, .Dak., and Pierce Ratliff, president of the Sioux City Rescue Home. All of these wrote on the friendliest terms and spoke of Nead’'s labors in the Chris- tian fleld. “Mr. Warren wanted me to go to Blaine and found a mission,” continued Nead, “but we decided to come to San Fran- cisco. Since we have been here we have not attended any regular church, pre- ferring to_go to different places of wor- ship for the time. We have not formed the acquaintance of ° ministers here -be- cause I did not care to until I was ready to found my mission.. I thought it better not to make myself known as long as I was in the cigar and confectionery busi- ness.” Asked about the Sioux City dispatch in yesterday's Call Nead burst into tears, and, when he had coliected himself, sa.d the “Billy”’ Nead referred to was his brother, whose career he had been fuuy aware of for fifteen years. This and much more did Nead state. He told about renting one of the rooms on the floor occupied by him to a woman, and said he had been obliged to ask her to vacate it because on two occasions there had been such a disturbance there late at night. It may have been fhat she was a dissolute character, and the police, seeing her enter the place, had formed a similar opinion of his wife. Nead was charitable to the officers, and it is certain that not once during the iInterview did he by word or action convey the impression that he was other than he seemed to be. During_the forenoon Nead appeared in Judge Conlan’s court am% pleaded not gullty to the charge of vagrancy. His at- orneys dgmanded a jury trial, and the case went over until next Monday, the defendant being reieased on cash bail.” In Judge Low’s court Attorney Bell asked that the case of Mrs. Nead be re- orened. and the Judge promised o com- ply with the request upon the filing of the customary affidavit setting forth that new evidence had been discovered. Last night The Call recelved a dispatch from Sioux City stating that Rev. G. 3 L. Brown had been transferred to another part of the State, consequently no state- ment could be obtained from him. ‘Wants His Presents Back. John L.

She was in a listleSs state and suffered terribly with nausea It so happened that a friend had given some Ripans Tabules to this lady’s sister who had suffered from indigestion, and as they did her so . much good she thought she would fry them on Mrs. Hill, feeling sure fhat if they did her no good they would at least do no harm. The patient was then in the bands of her physician, but soon she was so much better that her neighbors noticed the change and asked about it. She then said that she had changed her doctor, and laughingly added, my new doctor is colored—chocolate color. It seems that as soon as she began to take the Tabules, she began to mend. The pausea disappeared and she began to feel that the future still hed days of sunshine ia store for her. : /
