12 THE SAN FRANCISCO -C LL, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1898 DEATH HER REFUGE' FROM INDIFFERENCE A Lover’s Deceit Impelled P‘rétty Durie Heithier to Fire a Bul- let at Her Heart. George A. Alexander Failed to Meet Her and She Attempted porium--She Had Threatened to Kill Him—He Blackens the Dying Girl’s Character. Another young life, which should have been full of happiness and bright hopes for the future, nearly went out yesterday—the old, old story of a maid- en’s trusting devotion and a man’s per- fidy. On a cot in the Receiving Hospi- tal, praying that a self-inflicted bullet wound will end her sorrow, lies pretty Durle Heitheir, who shot herself in the FEmporium yesterday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock. She is barely 18. Her act has brought grief to her widowed mother, who was anxiously looking for- Suicide at the Em- | Pacific at San Jose, where she has been studying for a few months, and then when all was told she murmured: For a long time she refused to give the lover's name.

The revolver was a 22-caliber, and had one chamber empty. ; Anthony Hope's remantic “Simon Dale” was found beside the wounded girl in the toilet room. She hed written in pencil on the front fly leaf of the book the following ad- dresses: “Miss Durie Heithier, Uniyer- sity ~Pacific, San Jose, 61 North Sec- ond,”" adding “‘myself; Irs. Heithier, Sonora, Tuol. Coi” adding “mother,” “Wilma_Tannehill, 61 North Second, San Jose” adding “friend.” She had also written:”"Tele- phone to friend and mother’ % and “forgive me, mama; but I'm tired. On the rear fly leaf of the book was writ- ten and,partly obliterated: “pardon the liberty I have taken, but you know desperate cases need desperate rem- edies.” A peculiar circumstance that is in- volved in mystery is that on the in- side of the front cover of the book was written the address: “Edward Flynn, 912 Market street.” An attempt had been made to rub out the name, but the address was left intact. dward Flynn is a messenger in the District Tele- graph office, but he positively denied knowing the girl and could not under- stand why his name should have been written in the book. Flynn afterward went out to the Receiving Hospital and saw Miss Heithier. He did not remem- ber ever having seen her, but said he might have delivered a message for her at some time. She explained the entry of Flynn’s name in the book, saying he had once gone on an errand for her and she had no money to pay mm.é She took his name and address so she could send him the amount due. Here in the city where she has mar- keted past and future, hope, and may- be honor itself, for the cross of grief and the pittance of death, Durie Hei- thier has one stanch, trusting friend.

Under a pretext that she was fearful of being molested in the city she borrowed a revolver from a friend and Harry Ryan loaded it for ker.” iler story of the last two days in the city was incoherent and contra- dictory, indicating that she did not wish to-tell all. She said she was alone all day Mon- day and walked the streets that even- ing until 2 a. m., when she went to :1} lodging house and secured a bed for | 25 cents. The name of the lodging- | house or its whereabouts she declaredi she could not remember. Tuesday was | a repetition of the preceding day, with the exception that in the evening she | | drifted into the Olympia, not knowing | it was a beer hall. She was tired and weak from hunger, not having eaten nything but a sandwich all day. ‘While sitting in the concert hall her beauty attracted the unholy attention of a number of men, who accosted her, but she told them to go away, and they heeded her wishes. Later a stranger, with kindly mien and solicitous man- ner, asked her if she had had any din- ner. She answered no and immediately received an invitation to dine. At first she declined, but hunger was more po- tent than conventionality and she re- luctantly accepted the proffered hospi- tality. After dinner her host sought to continue the acquaintance, but she thanked him and left him. Again she walked the streets until long after midnight. Money she had none, and after wandering aimlessly about until exhausted she asked a po- lice officer to obtain a lodging for her. The officer gave her some silver, and she went to the nearest lodging-house, | but cannot remember what one. Here she was frightened by a Chinaman who seized her as she passed through the hall. All night long she tossed in nervous fear, and early yesterday | morning, worn . out bv the strain of | sleepless nights and want of food, she arose, determined to end it all with a bullet. She sent a message to -..exander ask- ing him to meet her at the Emporium, but he did not come. She waited until nearly closing time. Then she fired the shot which may end her/life. The would-be suicide’s only regret is that death was not instantaneous. She repeatedly asked the doetor if it would not have been more certain to have fired the bullet into her head, adding, “I was afraid the ball would glance on my skull and not kill me; I don't see why the bullet didn’t reach my heart.” Dr. Thompson, who attended the wounded girl, was unable to state last night whether or not the wound would prove fatal: He gave her narcotics to induce sleep, and at midnight she was resting quietly. The report of the pistol-shot in the Emporium caused a mild sensation. The sound came from the ladies’ toilet room where the girl had locked herself in. Special Officer Allen happened to be passing at the time, and on trying th door he-found it bolted. He crawle under the door and saw a young girl | moaning on the floor with a revolver c¢'ctched in her right hand. Allen unbolted the door and carriad the girl out. The ambulance was sum- moned and the girl was taken to the Receiving Hospital. Dr. Thompson found that she had shot herself in the Jeft breast.

He is John Evans, a musi®an of some note and a young man of sterling character. He knew Durie Heithler in Sonora and was with her when she first | met young George Alexander. He has | known and frequently met them both | since that day, not only in Sonora, but | here in the city, where the girl has | frequently been since she began school | at Santa Clara. “I first met Durie at her home in So- nora,” said Evans, last evening. “I went up there a year ago last January and stayed in the countrv for some- thing like nine months. Alexander got there not long after I did. He worked around the mines and prospected some and all the time was looking for a job as superintendent of one of the prop- erties in the neighborhood. “A man gets homesick up there. It's the loneliest hole on earth, and I had a bad case of it until I got acquainted with.Durie and her folks. We became the best of friends, and I used to spend most of my evenings there at their house. Some one, I forget who, intro- duced Alexander t& the girl, and he also became a frcquent visitor, and I could see almost from the first that Durie had taken a great liking to him. He didn’t seem to care for her particu- larly, but he appeared to take a delight in strengthening his hold over her, and he finally gained complete mastery over her. He didn’t work any more than he had to at any time, but after he got to playing with the girl he worked less than ever. ‘““Alexander and I came down here finally and I did not see Durle again until the last celebration of the Native Sons at Nevada City, when I met her with her uncle. She told me that before | Jong she was coming down to the coast to go to school, and two months ago I | heard that she was at the University of the Pacific. “Since then she has been in San Francisco nearly every week for a day or so at a time, and every time she has | been here I have seen her in company | with Alexander. On this trip she got | up here last Monday. I saw her on Tuesday with George and told her tol meet me that evening and I would take R take her to the theater. “She said she couldn’t that night as she had an engagement, so I arranged to meet her this morning. When the time came this morning I couldn’t be on hand as T had some business t. at- tend to, but 1 met her this afternoon on Powell street at 2:30. ““We stopped to talk, and I asked her how everything was going and when she was golng back to school. -She said she had intended to go this after- noon, but that she had no money and had sent to one of her chums at school for some. ‘‘We had been talking about five min- utes, and she kept looking up and down | the street as though waliting for some | one and she told me that she had an | | | engagement. ““A few minutes later Alexander came along and said ‘hello’ to me and barely | spoke to Durfe. Suddenly he took her | by the arm and said ‘Come along, we | haven’t got much time,’ and they | walked away toward Market street. | “I don’t like to say what I think of | Durie’s act. I am certain, in spite of everything that is said, that she's still a good girl, but T do think that in some way or other this fellow Alexander is at the bottom of her trouble. He’s the sort for that kind of think. He had rather do anything than work and he has not worked for a long time. Iknow that Durie would do anything for him. The girl loves him, but I also know that he does not care a cuss.for - her, and there you have my idea of the rea- son for her attempt on her life. Du- rie isn’t the girl to go wrong, but she is infatuated with a man that does not ;are for her, and he's probably told er so.” LR i ALEXANDER BLACKENS A DYING GIRL’S NAME He Says She Wanted to Extort Money From Him. OATLAND, Nov. 16.—George A.Alex- ander was seen at his home, 1020 Fovr- teenth street, Oakland. To a reporter he sald: “I met Durie Herthier at Sonora, Tuolumne County, #bout six months ago, while I was working in the Black Oak mine. I had been attending the State University at Berkeley, and my father, believing the time had arrived for me to gain some practical knowl- edge in this line, secured a position in the mine for me. I had been working there about a year, and last July I came home to my .parents. “‘Miss Herthier appeared to me as a young woman of rather questionable character, and I frankly admit, as I did to my father, that perhaps I showed a lack of discretion. In fact, it was foolish, but I met her and was intimate for a time, but I soon had no end of trouble. Money appeared to be what she was after, and this I gave her whenever I had it. It wasn’t much, I admit, and I tried in every way to keep away from her, but she haunted me always. “When I came home she left Sonora and went to San Jose. From there she telephoned to my home, asking where she might meet me, but my relatives who-answered ‘the telephone told her they could not give any definite infor- mation. “It seemed to me that she imagined my father had plenty of means and that, she-would get some. On Tuesday she came to San Francisco and early In the evening I received an anonymous letter, written on telegraph paper, re- monstrating with me for not having kept some -appointment and insisting that T meet her in front of the Chroni- cle -office. Well, I did not know what to do; but'I went. I met her at the appointed hour and place and she threatened to shoot me if I refused to give her-more money. Of course I gave her some. Why she attempted suicide is more than I can tell unless it is be- cause she is actually lovesick. You have no idea how disastrous this whole af- fair appears to me, but I can assure you that I am not to blame.” Alexander, while but 20 years of age, is a young man of particularly fine phy- sique and is quite attractive in feat- ures and manner. He has always moved in the best circles locally and is popular. Otherwise he is known as a home boy of good habits generally. His connection with the case in point caused no end of surprise to his friends and acquaintances. In speaking of the affair George Webb Alexander, the father, says: “It is a case of a boy indiscreet, foolish, I might say, who has perhaps allowed his passions to get the better of . his judgment, but George is truthful and has frankly told us just how it was. He has had an awful time to keep this woman away. If she imagines that I have means I will say now that I have no money with which to fix up matters. As I understand it, George met her as- a woman of questionable character, and when he left Sonora she was con/ tinually telephoning and writing letters to him, to his great annoyance.” L ionon DURIE’S COMPANIONS SPEAK WELL OF HER Her Rash Act Ascribed to Jeal- ousy and Grief. SAN JOSE, Nov. 16.—Durie Heithier entered the University of the Pacific at the beginning of the semester in Au- gust. She came from Sonora, Califor- nia, where her widowed mother, Car- melita Heithier, now resides. She was in the preparatory class. She was thought a great deal of, and students and faculty gave her a good reputation. When Durle Heithier came here she went to rooming with Wilma Tanne- hill, who is also from Sonora. The girls secured rooms with Mrs. L. A. Theall on South First street, where they stayed for a couple of months. On November 4 they moved to Mrs. S Smith’s at 61 North Second street. Miss Tannehill was seen there to- night. She said Miss Heithier was a very strange girl, and described her as being moody, impetuous and impulsive and extreme in her joys and griefs. Miss Heithler, she said, had been sick for some time and had expressed a de- sire to kill herself. She went to San Francisco Monday afternoor That morning she exhibited a small revolver to Harry Ryan, a plumber, who exam- ined it. Durie said the weapon had been given her by Shirley Ashby, a student at the university, who went about with her a great deal. She told Ashby she was going to San Francisco alone . and wanted the pistol to: protect herself. ‘When she left the house she told them she might not come back. She was deeply in love with George A. Alexander, who visited her on July 4 and again a little later. Miss Tanne- POVERTY AND DEA TH, GOLD AND PLENTY Frank Berberich, an Old German, Dies a Miser and Leaves a Fortune. N a small, dingy, cheerless room Iln a cheap boarding-house, with no friends to mimster to him in his last hours, Frank Berberich dled. Under circumstances pulsive by the merciless ‘hand of poverty, the old Germ: & of life fluttered. out In the silent hours of the night. Comf s and barren was his deathbed. ¢ large and substantial is the pile, #hoard- ed ?old he has left behind him. His was not unavoidable poverty, for he was sufficiéntly possessed o the world’s goods to have purchased the comforts of the rich man. But the ruling passion, stronger even in death than life, held him its slave to the last, and he chose rather to die alone and unattended than to spend his dearly loved and closely treas- ured gold. In filth and squalor he lived, and in it he died, triumphant, in a’sense, in that he defled life's ease while on earth and gloried in its misery in death, saving with flendish resolve and flinchless pur- pose his gold, the god of his exist- ence, the sole purpose of his efforts and lif e.

The funeral arrangements have not yet been made, according to_the officials at the Morgue. Mme. Houser, an Alsatian, is the landlady who keeps the house on Bush street where Berberich died. Inquiry at the boarding-house failed to throw much light on the history of the dead man. The old German came to live at her house about a ‘dte AR AR + year ago. Where he came from she did _not know, but she had heard that he had been made to leave by his last landlady because of the filthy condition in which he kept himself. Mme. Houser, his land- lady, sald her boarder had heart disease, and could not walk upstairs, 80 she gave him a room next to the kitchen, as he was deaf and would not be disturbed by the noise.” One night last week Berberich came in late and fell in the hallway. Madame ‘went to his assistance. She refused to say positively, but she thought her boarder was drunk at the time. He appeared to be suffering in his left side. He would not allow her to send for a doctor, and went to bed. Every effort to have him see a hysician “proved fruitless, but on ednesday he was in_such agony Madame gent for Dr. Louls Gross, who came and found that Berberich had broken two ribs by his fall. He treated him and left him. Tuesday night the old man was suffering greatly, and yesterday morning he was dead. She had learned er- berich had been a baker, and this was all Madame knew. Dr. Gross kpows nothing of his “iretntal He ati rlblslelgu glin gellh to eal sease cau: Yy breakin his ribs. S I++¢¢#++¢+#'044'4##¢¢+¢¢¢¢+# - hill said she gave her money to g0 to San Francisco. Her only explanation for the girl’s act is jealousy and grief. Mrs. Arthur Rice, who lives in the same house, says Miss Heithier was deeply worried all the time she was there and cried a great deal. The girl made a confidante of her and told her she was in great trouble. Miss Heithier told her that after she and Miss Tan- nehill engaged the room on Friday, November 4, they went to San Fran- cisco and stayed until the following Monday. They were entertained by Ben Rucker, a salesman at 300 Front street, whom Miss Tannehill says is Miss Heithier’s guardian. He took the girls to the theater, gave them supper at the Baldwin Grotto and kept them | out until 2 o’clock in the morning. Miss Tannehill returned home Monday, but her companion remained another day. She told Mrs. Rice she was in great trouble and threatened to kill herself. ‘Sunday she cried the entire night, but refused to tell her trouble. b HASTENING 10 HER DAUGHTER’S BEDSIDE Durie’s Mother Will Arrive From Sonora To-Day. SONORA, Cal., Nov. 16.—Miss Durie Heithier, who attempted suicide this | afternoon in San Francisco, is the eld- est of the five children of Mrs. Matt | Heither, a widow of this place. She is | of Spanish and English parentage. A Miss Tannehill of Sonora, who at- tends the University of the Pacific at San Jose, while home on a visit in July, ! gave such glowing accounts of the| school that Durie determined to finish her education at that institution. Her mother, who is of limited means, could not send her and deprecated her going. Durie persuaded her mother to let her 8o, saying she would earn her way by working out. She left here August 19 and went to San Francisco, where she visited an aunt, who was there on busi- ness. On August 25 Durie was joined | \by Miss Tannehill and they both went to San Jose to school. Mrs. Heithier was terribly = shocked | at the sad news of Durie’s rash act. | She cannot account for it. She had a letter from her within a few days| wherein she expressed herself as get- ting along nicely with her studies. Durie was born. in Sonora about\ eighteen years ago. She attended the public schools of Sonora up to the time she left for San Jose. She is a bright, vivacious girl, possesses considerable ability as a singer and had an inclina- tion for the stage. Her mother was burned out July 4, and has just fin- ished rebuilding her home. She was looking forward with pleasure to Durie’s home coming for the Christ- mas vacation. Mrs. Heithier will go to Ban Francisco to-morrow to be at her daughter’s bedside. THINKS BRANNAN WAS POISONED Patrick Brannan, a blacksmith, 71 years of age, dled at his residence, 4 Cedar avenue, Jast night, under circumstances that led his wife to suspect he had been given poison by mistake at Smith's: drug ¥ store. . Druggist Smith, who put up the pré [ scription, knows nothing of the ease what. ever. He says the prescription from | Kingla was sent to him and he follower it strictly. He is positive that no Suc mistake as giving morphine for bismush could have taken place, as he has alwa used the greatest care in handling poisons of all kinds. His opinion, like that of Dr. Kingla, is that the man died from natural catses, hastened perhaps by nis age. 7 —_———— Ladles’ tailor-made suits. Fur capes, cloaks. credit. M.
