HUSBAND RECENTLY DIED SHE WAS A MRS. ANGELINZ CROCKER. Despondent Since Left Alone, She Bade Her Child Good-By and Drank Morphine in a Hotel. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Nov. 3. Mrs. Angeline Crocker, a yOoung woman who has been despondent for some time, was found dead in her room at the Crel- lin Hotel at noon to-day. Alongside her dead body was a loaded revolver, but none of the chambers were empty, and its companion, on the table, an empty morphine bottle, told the whole story. The woman registered at the hotel last night as “Mrs. Crock Alameda.” She was shown to a room, and when the at- tendants found her door fastened at noon to-day and could get no. response, they entered the chamber and discovered the suicide. One of the first things to greet the eye of the Deputy Coroner was a visit- ated by the Judge for his personal | ing card. On one side was the deceased’s } name and on the other side the following reques “Please turn my body over to Dr. Ham- lin and Dr. Wright for dissection as sdon as you have finished with it. Morphine.” On the table was another card showing that Mrs. Crocker had made very thor- ough preparations to leave this world free of debt. On the card was written, “Room rent,” and in small change alongside of | it she had placed $105. In one of the pockets of her dress was found a purse cont g $1 25, a morphine tablet, a ball ogramme pencil and a manicure tool. The woman was a perfect stranger to the hotel people, and her body was taken wway by the Coroner. Dr. Hamlin says he has known the wo- man for several years, Her husband was a railroad jnan and a few months ago he went_to Nevada hoping to improve his healtht, but he became worse and die Two days ago Mrs. Crocker called on Dr. at which time she was sufferjng While he was her she appeared very despond- old him that she would certainly | reatink end her troubles by taking her life. doctor told her she was foolish to think of such things, and advised her to turn her mind to brighter topics.

TOOK ROUGH ON RATS. J. Hallenshead Change His Mind. OAKLAND, Nov. 3.—Because his wife told him she loved him no longer James Hallenshead, a lumber talller, aged 48 years, took a dose of “‘rough on rats” to- day with suicldal intent, and when he felt the horrible pains coming on he changed his mind and hastened to the fir‘ce}l‘\r‘lng Hospital In the hope of saving | 1s” life. He fairly crawled into the door at the hospital, and was so far gone he was unable to tell Steward Tobin anything except that he ‘took rough on rats.” Then he swooned and fell. | At the same time a Dr. Wachendorf | was lylng on the operating table. He had been taken sick at a restaurant, or at least feigned it, and when Steward To- | bin realized that the doctor was faking he ordered him off the table to make room for the dying Hallenshead, but he refused and was told that if he 'did not depart ;h;— police would be called, whereupon he eft. in the meantime Dr. Stratton was tele- phoned for to attend Hallenshead, but realizing the latter's critical condition Steward Tobin quickly gave him an an- tidote for arsenic poison and applied the stomach pump, and before Dr. Stratton errived Hallenshead's life had been saved. —_— e STONE AT LIBERTY. Grand Jury Indictment Would Never Convict Him. OAKLAND, Nov. 3.—Manuel Stone, the editor of the Portuguese paper, who was to interest dpon the bonds since he | indicted by the Grand Jury for cashing his warrants against the county to three different parties, will not be put to the trouble of defending himself in court. His indictment, like nearly all the others is- sued by the long-lived Grand Jury just discharged, 18 defective. This information was_imparted to Judge Elisworth to-day by District Attorney L. 8. Church. Mr. Stone was therefore discharged from cus- tody by the court and the indictment dis- missed. It is hardly probable that the next Grand Jury. will pay any attention to the incident.

AN APPEAL FROM - PRISON | THE MOTHER WILLINGLY LET THE CHILD GO. | After Suffering a Few Weeks It Died in a Shelter Where Its True Name Was Not Enown. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 98 Broadway, Nov. 3. SAN QUENTIN, Oct. 2, 188.—To the Court Commissloner, Alameda County—Dear Sir: I take the liberty of writing you these few lines to ask if you will be 8o kind as to ask ‘my wife, Mrs. Loulsa Malmgren, what she has done with our little daughter that was born July 3, 1897. There ie noth- ing mentioned about her In the divorce complaint that has just been served on me here by my wife. When I was free I tried to find her, but they told me that she was dead. They have no death certificate or any proof to show it and It*is my firm be- llef that if my child is dead my wife or her mother or the. midwife that attended her murdered it. I am in here, with no friends or means to do anything toward finding out the truth, but if the child is dead I am sure that they murdered it to get it out of the way. Coroner Baldwin looked into the case some and said that it looked bad, but when I got in here he dropped it. If you would make her produce the child in ‘court you would have the thanks of an unfortunate man in trouble. I remaln, very respect- tully yours, SANDY J. MALMGREN (No. 17,669). The above letter has been received by Court Commissioner Babcock from a young convict who two vears ago mar- ried Louisa Cruze of Alameda and who & few months after his marriage was ar- rested for bicycle stealing. e served a term in the County Jail and after his re- lease was again arrested for felony, con- victed and sent to San Quentin. His wife applied for a divorce while he was in jail, but the decree was denied because the court held that a man in prison could not be deemed guilty of failure to provide. A few days ago young Mrs. Malmgrea again decided to bé freed from her convict { adding the record of his conviction for | telony. This complaint was recently served on Malmgren and induced him to write the letter to Commissioner Babcock. The little child of the young parents is dead, but it was not murdered. It lived twenty-two days, and during that brief life the little one passed through some strange experiences. After its birth the young mother decided to part with it and a part of the record in the case is a depo- sition from Louisa Malmgren -in which she says: “Having been abandoned by my husband, he now being in the County Jail in Alaméda, and being absolutely without means and unable to provide financially or physically for any support of my child Louisa, do hereby authorize Dr. E. Funke of 1416 Eighth street, Alameda, for the best interests of my sald child, and to the best of her judgment, to provide a temporary home in some respectable family who in the judgment of Dr. Funke will take good care of my child for a period ‘of six months or until my health and means will allow my taking the child myself.” The convict's child did not live for six months. Dr. Funke found a home for it in a family where a value is placed on lit- tle children and before it had been with its foster parents a couple of weeks knowledge came to them that little Louisa’s father might make trouble when he came out of jall and the little infant was returned. The next record is that in the health of- fice in San Francisco, from which it ap- pears that on July %, 187" an infant nown to the world as May Smith, but uisa Maim- gren, died at St. Joseph's Shelter in San Francisco from pneumonia, after being attended by Dr. McLaughlin. Attorney Garrity, who represents Mrs, Malmgren, said the record of the death of the child is quite straight and that the complaint merely recites the facts that the issue of the marriage was ‘one child now dead. He says he will inform Malm- gren of the details of the little girl's life and death. Candidate Hackett Fined. OAKLAND, Nov. 3—Captain John Hackett, independent candidate for As- sessor, for whom a bench warrant was issued yesterday because he failed to re- spond to a summons as a grand juror, ap- eared before Judge Ellsworth this morn- ng and gave absence from this city as his excuse. After admonishing the re- calecitrant juror, Judge Ellsworth fixed his fine at $5, for the leniency of which the candidate gracefully thanked his Honor. Ratification at Upper Fruitvale. OAKLAND, Nov. 3.—A big Republican demonstration will take place at Dia- mond Canyon, Upper Fruitvale, to-mor- row evening.

The affair will include a bullshead supper. An Insane Rancher. OAKLAND, Nov. 3—Thomas J.

Hughes’ Record of Last Season Places Him in the Front Rank of Star Twirlers in the States. By Joe Corbett. Hughes, Baltimore's great and star twirler, was accorded a most flattering and tremendous reception on Sunday last when he appeared in his old uniform and position at the league grounds. One of the biggest crowds that ever attendsd a ball game turned out to welcome the baseball phenom. of last sea- son and just to show him how much he was thought of by the people of Sacra- mento, a handsome gold watch and chain were given him. It was a wonder to me that “Jimmie” pitched so well at the outset, after going through such a rousing ordeal, yet the boy has demonstrated in a season just passed that nothing, wheiher it be the presenting of a handsome piece of jew- elry midst the howling of thousands, or the hooting of an opposition audience, can in any way interfere with his work. There are, however, players who really fail in the face of a great welcome, yet are demons when it comes to close situa- tions. “Our Jimmie” is a wonder though in every particular, and we inhabltants of San Francisco are just as anxious to see the boy perform as were those of his own city. I will not guarantee that he will receive any gold watches, but base- balldom will turn out in full force and glve him a reception that will Iarbve to im how well he is thought of by the baseball lovers of this community. His record as a young pitcher, I dare say, has never beenequaled. I do notknow of a case such as his when a pitcher en- tered the National League without ex- perience and the coaching so necessary to every youngster, and came out as one of the greatest, if not the greatest twirlers of them all. Dur1n§ my brief sojourn in that organ- ization did what has been termed “‘ex- ceedingly well for a youngster.” “Jimmie"” ‘While there I learned what a hard time young pitchers have when dealing with the old | experienced hands, but I am on friendly | terms with these facts, not by pitching regularly, but by sitting on the bench for | nearly an entire season, su\dying the pe- cullarities of the game and and players. | ‘When I was finally called upon to take my turn in the box I entertained, as I said pre- | viously, a knowledge of the manner in| which the old heads played the iame,» and I knew most of therplayers. had been told many things; had practiced day | in and day out, with the great Balti- more team, and was not, therefore, the | perfect stranger to my surroundings as | was ‘“‘our Jimmie” Hughes. I made a fair record, but goodness knows my entrance} into the National League was nothing when compared to that of Mr. Hughes. | His pitching, especially at the outset.; was Teally phenomenal. He knew noth- ing of Natlonal League methods; was a | g:rtect stranger to everything and every-| dy; yet with it all he defeated, and in' a few instances, shut out the greatest teams in the country. True he lost | game once in a. while, but that is base- | ball. The pitcher I am certain does not live who, in a season’s work, has not met | with defeat. And, again, there were | games that Hughes lost which, were he | accredited that support supposed to be ven a pitcher at all*times, would have | een victorious. This, however, is of lit-| tle consequence when one is assured that | | both pitchers and players nave what is | called an “off day.” Players often lose a ! game for a pitcher, and again they often come to his rescue by pulling in a contest | from the very jaws of defeat, through the assistance of a string of base hits .or sen- | sational stops. So on this question pitcher and fleld- ers always agree. They both have their good and bad days, which is, and al- ways will be, baseball. Wav the game would not be worth seeing if errors and the other miskaps, which give that glori- | ous uncertainty to it, were eliminated. ! ‘While Mr. Hughes has, therefore, lost | a few games, this fact does not and should not be thought of as it is, as I/ have said before, baseball. He has made the grandest record of any young player that has ever left this State, or any other, and is to-day one he urightest stars of the major league. His entrance into that organization will long be remembered, particularly by the ' public of this State, and 1 hope he will | oblige us San Francisco fans by con-| descending to pitch the next time the| famous Gilt Edges play in our midst. ‘We are all on edge waiting for you, “Jimmie,” and if you disappoint—well, the | fans, I am sure, will never forgive you. One can’t take things too easy when twirling against the players of the Pa- cific_ Coast League. ou will find them much faster than when you left, take my word for it. Why on last Sunday at Recreation Park théy put up the grandest | exhibition of the game seen here in years, and I heard ome of them say that “you National Leaguers had benerfnow:- I irger from this rather insignificant re- mark that they are going to show your- self, Lange, Sandow, and the rest that they are not so bad ai some of the news- papers have said. If they can continue to play as they did last Sunday we will | soog ave up-to-date National League | games. WELLS, FARGO & CO. TO BE PROSECUTED| WAR REVENUE TAX CASE FOR THE SUPERIOR COURT. Taken to the Supreme Court First as a Flier to Save Time if Possible. The Supreme Court has decided that the | case of the people, represented by Attor- ney General Fitzgerald, agalnst Wells, Fargo & Co., to compel the corporation to pay its part of the war revenue tax, should be heard first in the Superior Court. On the 2th of last month Deputy Attorney General Anderson, presented at the company’s office a package to be de- livered in Sacramento. Wells, Fargo & Co.'s employe refused to @ccept the charge unless Mr. Anderson paid the one cent war tax that mu.:d !;e &tta,chetho , bill of lading, etc. 'he g\tr:{ye"r:c‘%p!; took the position that Con, intended that the tax should be DNJ by, the U Y ransportation company and not by the ship) or consignee. This_question been decided by sev- eral otflthe courts of the !é&}st and every decision was on the line Mr. Ander- son’s views. When the first cases.came Lup in the East it was the understanding that the express companies would abide by the ons, but in no instance have tg done g0, and the people have been obl to pay, not only their own share of the war but that of the express companies. On this coast no effort was B Seigs S i stand their s| of the expenses until the present action by the Attorney After the company refused to issue a re- ceipt with a one-cent stunxs thereon duly canceled, Mr. Anderson applied to the Su- preme Court for a writ of o to compel Wells, & Co. to comply with the law in this respect and issue to every shi a f e ln‘l | this section, which, cause appears for making an original ap- plication to this court, and without preju- dice to_any new proceeding in the Su- perior Court.” of Deputy Anderson stated that he was'not susnr(sad at the decision, but that he had hoped that the matter would be first heard in the higher tribunal, thus saving the bother of taking thé matter through two courts, for an appeal was sure to fol- low any decision, of the lower court. With- in a day .or two he will takes the case into the Superior Court. The only change nec- :Ssar,v is an alteration in the title of the AuSs. —_——— BECHT IN TROUBLE.
