A BRAZEN FAKER EXPOSED AIDED BY THE BULLETIN IN SE- | CURING VICTIMS. The Disreputable Sheet Becomes a | Willing Party to the Shameless Swindle of Poor Un- fortunates. For some days past Francis Truth, “divine healer” and faker of the worst | possible description, has been doing a thriving business at 440 Geary street In | gulling the unwary with the assistance | of that greatest of all fakers, the Evening | Bulletin. Truth, as he calls himself, has a most unsavory reputation throughout the United States, but the present is the first Visit he has inflicted upon San Francisco. He first made his presence known when | he called at the business office of The Call a few days ago and endeavored to | secure the insertion of an advertisement | prepared in the foxm of a reading notice, | and about a half column in length. The advertisement was rejected, although the | fellow offered to pay liberally for its ent. He declared he would provide blers for his lady love and her whole family, and nothing should 4 | stop him except the undying and | | outspoken affection of the young 4| lady herself. He worshiped at the 4 | shrine of Miss Inez Lancy, and was | | rather demonstrative in testifying to + | his esteem, for she says he used to 4| strike her whenever she displeased | | him by undue coldness, and that he +| threatened ‘to foreibly -object if ever 4 | she went out with any one besides | | himself. He was not the best com- 4 | | o R R R R R e R T Y PP U pany in the world, Miss Lancy thought, but his continual reference to gunshot wounds and cemeteries made her afraid of him, and so she used now and then go out with him of an evening. She came home sadly the worse for her walk one night, and said “Johnny” had beat her. That settled it. An aunt, Mrs. Barada, advised her to have noth- ing further to do with him, and af- ter offering that kind of advice Mrs. Barada was met at the foot of the stairs by ohnny” and was soundly thumped for Interfering with the course of his true love.

Mr. Fitzgerald, If inj an explaining mood, might tell of the’ work he did as go-between In arranging the details of The contract marriage between Shelby Martin and_Miss Valeria Hickethler. Ac- cording to Miss Hickethier he bought the Ting, had it engraved and arranged all the preliminaries. He also thoughtfully provided the witnesses to the alleged marriage.

An appeal has been entered In the case of Francisco Rossl vs. Maria ‘Barabino and Carlo Barabino, which Justice Kerrigan decided in favor of the defendant on September 15. The case is interesting, not from a legal point of view, but from the odd story told by the defendant. On September 8, 1396, Mrs. Barabino borrowed the sum of $150 from Rossi. Last December Mrs. Barabino, so runs the story told in the courtroom, visited Rossi at his home, bringing with her the $150 carefully wrapped Iin a handkerchief. The plaintift'’s wife took the money and care- fully laid it away. Now comes the odd part of the story. The Rossis have a ddughter, a pretty, black-eyed, rosy-cheeked dam- sel such as only ITtaly car produce, and like a good father Rossi wanted to see the girl happily married before the end of his days. Mrs. Barabino has a son, and the Rossis had long looked upon him as a fitting partner he would provide rooms in the Galindo for their pretty daughter. ifiifi%"bp‘pe';?i}“n‘,la. “lll‘:rfiha:xk;‘ed c‘el:vm:é The advantages of the match were suggested to Mrs. Barabino, but afterward, as he thought to she, with the true business instinct of the frugal Italian, would not con- sent to the match without some recompense, and demanded the sum of $200 for acting as Cupid. This was too high, but Rossl finally agreed to glve her back the $150, and it was accordingly returned to her, still wrapped in the handkerchief. Ag a Cupld Mrs. Barabino was a success, and the wedding took place on the 14th of February last. Married life, even with $150 attached to it, was not a success with the young couple, however, and affairs began to &0 wrong. There was a strain of discord throughout the harmony of the $160 wedding, and finally the young wife sued for divorce, which was at_the hotel might cause 2 On_the morning of March 2 Martin that 1 was going cisco and would return on the boat in the evening. 5 o'clock That morning he had the contract made out on the typewriter.

I was surprised that he should take me to a French res- taurant, but I thought he knew what was granted on June 27. Rossi again found his daughter on his best, as he wished the matter kept secret. hands and the $160 out of them, and accordingly demanded 3,‘;.,,’”" e;‘ifln?:a‘:‘tth;m]lfl:vlyer,;edwe(;\e 3,";:" that the money be returned. He met with a prompt refusal. Mrs. Bara- Y eawiice, - Mr Martin'then pisced e wid: bino said the money had all gone for the wedding expenses. There were two white satin dresses; two rings; two pairs of shoes and a gold watch and chain for the bride, besides a ‘“‘grand party which cost gll of $30.”” This bill of expenses did not satisfy Rossl. He had his daughter and thought the money should have come back with her, and accordingly entered suit with A. Ruef as his attorney. Justice Kerrigan, after listening to the story, awarded the case to the defendant. Notice of appeal has been filed. ding ring on my finger and accepted me as his wife.

When he read his father's will and found that out of a princely fortune but the iInterest on a trust estate of $100,000 was to be his share, he became more depressed, but when a short time later a stalwart negress, Minnie Morton by name, declared that the father of her child was the father of George E. Barron, to blunt his mind to the disgrace that hagd | been thrust upon him he plunged into a career of debauchery that ended with his death. Young Barron was never strong in con- | stitution, but had he cared for his health many years hence might have seen him actively engaged in the pursuits of life. The disgrace that had befallen him, how- ever, left him without ambitien, nour- | ished hils appetite for liquor, and eventu- | ally led him to his grave. When he died but few were at his bed side to mourn his death. Among the few | was a woman who bears his name and who it is sald was his legal wife. But few ever heard that Baron was marrie and many of those doubted the repor but those who have been Intimately ass: clated with him for years state that not over two years ago he went East and re- turned with his wife. The marriage was secret and it seems was Kept a secret; why, no one seems able to explain. George E. Barron came into prominence In 1885 when he filed a contest to his father’s will. The young man alleged undue influence and unsoundness of mind on the part of the testator. The case was tried before Judge Lorigan in San Jose, and after a most sensational trial a decision was handed down sustaining the contestant and breaking the will. It was hardly a victory for the contestant, how- ever, as innumerable technicalities arose and 'young Barron eventually came into osgession of even a smaller amount han the will of his father stated he should have. He was forced Into a com- promise, it is sald, by Eve Rose Barron, his stepmother, by which he accepted $50,000 In a trust estate some four or five months ago. Then signs of quick con- sumption began to grow upon him. Emi- nent physiclans were consalted, but he was past ald and succumbed to the dread disease. During the trial of the case it devel- oped that the young man’s father had been driven to his grave by the Morton woman. He had pald her thousands of dollars as a reward for her silence, but she hounded him until he could no longer stand the strain; his health gave way and he died. Subsequently it was stated 2 that the death of Willlam Barron, brother of the young man who died yes terday, was indirectly caused by the dis- grace following the exposeof the negress. Both of the young men were well edu- cated, being graduates of Stonyhurst Col- lege, an institution in England where the ynu:uiigemry of Burope are sent to be ed- ucated. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway will resume its fast passenger service, Chicago, Kansas City and Cal- ifornia points, on November 2. Magnifi- cently appointed cars -have been built es- peclally for this service, and the trains will be of the finest and fastest in the transcontinental service. The trains will run solid between Chicago and Los An- geles, and be limited to six palatial cars, vestibuled and electric lighted with 5000 candle power. They will consist of dining car, a buffet smoking car, contain- ing a barber shop and smoking and read- ing room; observation car and three double drawing room Pullmans,the berths of which will be lit with electric lights. The initial train will leave Chicago on Wednesday, November 2, at 8 p. m., reaching Los Angeles at 1:50 p. m. the third day following. The total time con- sumed will be sixty-six hours, or six hours shorter than ever made by a regu- lar train over this distance. The sched- ule time from Kansas City to the Pacific Coast will be fifty~two hours. > Washington M. Ryer’s Estate. An order settling the account of the executors and ordering a distribution of the estate of Dr. Washington M. Ryer, who died June 4, 1892, was made by Judge Troutt yesterday.

One | went as a patient to be treated for imag- | inary stomach trouble; the other in search of a news story. Truth’s abode is on the second floor, “Mrs.” Truth, or & young and rather good-looking girl, open- ing the door to all comers. The would- be pafient asked for Schlatter, and was told by the wife that he was not In just then, but that Truth would be pleased to see hiim. The patient was shown into the front room, which was scantily furnished, the walls being adorned with prints of the Savior and cards bearing passages of Scripture. When the patient was fin- ally summoned into Truth’s office he told the “healer” that only a few articles of diet agreed with him, his stomach be- ing in such bad shapé. Truth said a | to so he could eat anything. Then the sub- Ject of compensation was broached. Truth” sald he charged nothing for his services, but accepted such contributions as his patients saw fit to make. He had, however, some handkerchiefs which he had blessed, and in consequence they pos- sessed wonderful healing powers. One of these handkerchiefs would cost 25 cents, and he insisted that his patients carry one with them night and day. Truth pro- duced a small red bandana that cost orig- Inally about 5 cents a dozen, and the re- porter separated himself from a quarter, which “Truth"” away in his pock- ets.

The patient was ad- vised to call every day, and the next vic- tim was called. ‘When it came the second reporter’s turn and the nature of his business set forth, “Truth” dropped his mask of hypocrisy at once and proceeded straight to the point. He produced the scrapbook, in which he asked the reporter to read while he treat- ed another patient. Turning to the arti- cle g(clurlng and detailin Schlatter’'s death, “Truth” explained that the Bul- letin article was a mistake, as Schlatter was mnll{ in his grave. The reporter took the book, and found by comparison that the Bulletin article was identical with that in the scrapbook, only that tne account of Schiatter’s wanderings and death had been eliminated and a few changes made to suit the locality. When_the Interview ‘with “Truth' was resumed, that individual frankly stated that such an article as proposed would | do him much good, and he would like it as sensational as possibl If the report- er would get up a good, “spicy” article, )‘.“;l‘mlh" would make it an object for m, Still, “Truth,” in his Bulletin advertise- ment, states that he merely wants to live quietly and makes no charge for his treat- ment of the suffering. Evidently he does a brisk trade in bandana handkerchiefs. And it is such a fraud that the Bulletin has helped to swindle poor deluded suf- ferers. This Week’s Wasp. Naturally, the current Wasp is largely devoted to politics, and the keen fashion in which it shows up the pretense of the Phelan brand of purity will be a shock to the camp of the One Hundred. The com- ment is to the point, and the illustrations aré particularly good. One cartoon is a setting forth of the Examiner spy meth- od of trailing the gentlemen of the oppo- sition. Another portrays the vegetation of the sandlot crowned with the likeness of Maguire, the Republican party stand- ing by, ax in hand. On another page is a portrait of Charles L. Patton, the like- ness being particularly good. Criminals at Bar.

HER PRECIOUS GEMS MISSING SOLD THE HAT TO A STRANGER FOR A FEW CENTS. Serious Blunder of a Woman Who Feared a Visit From Burglars. The Police Investi- gating. Mrs. Abrams of 2818 McAllister street mourns the loss of diamonds valued at $500, which were stolen from her under the most pecullar circumstances. Seve- ra] weeks ago her residence was entered by burglars, who got away with consid- erable jewelry and clothing. Thinking they would return, and determined not to give them an opportunity to steal her diamonds, before retiring each evening she would secrete the precious stones in the band of her Fedora hat. A few days ago a collector of old clothes visited her home and asked her if she had any worn- out garments she desired to sell. Mrs. Abrams remembered that her hus- band had two old suits of clothes which he had discarded.. She brought them forth and showed them to the stranger. He offered her a few dollars for the gar- ments, which she accepted. The Fedora hat was hanging on a hook in the hall- way, and as the visitor was about leav- ing the house, he caught a glimpse of it and anxiously asked Mrs, Abrams if she wanted to sell it. As she was tired of wearlng it, and forgetting that her dia- monds were hidden beneath the ribbon that encircled it, she asked the fellow how much he would give her for the hat.
