THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1898 GRIEF CRAZED, SHE CANNOT SEE Durie Heithier's Mo Restrained in The Wounded Girl Has a Sligh terly Denounces George “Coward and Liar’ Belie His State Her Character. Almost within hearing of her eldest daughter’s pitiful cries for “Mamma! Mamma!” the mother of erring Durie Heithier is restrained from clasping her child in her arms. Crazed with grief, the heartbroken mother had to be placed in a padded cell immediately after her arrival last night. She became violently hysterical, and it was necessary to give her a sleeping potion. To-day, if Durie’s life will not be jeopardized thereby, the mother will be allowed to meet her child. Although exceedingly weak suffering agonizing pains, the would- be suicide has a possible chance to Tecover. Young George Alexander is bit- terly denounced by his discarded sweetheart and her friends for his cruel attempt to blacken her char- acter. His letters to the girl, who accuses him of her ruin, are full of fervid love and promises of undying faithfulness.

She had told her story as clearly as she might with the terrible pain that racked her. Young Alexander, the faithless lover, is apparently endeavoring to escape further notorfety. 1t is reported that he has left his home in Oakland and will be away for some time. His family and friends are deeply disiressed at the outcome of his love affair with the pretty Sonora girl, and they hope the scandal will soon be forgotten. ’Alexander flatly and emphatically con- tradicts the statements made by Durle, and declares she has annoyed and har- assed him by threats and importunities for money. He denies he is the author of the poor girl's dishonor and desires to shift the responsibility upon some un- known man. ‘Alexander coolly admits gullt to a lim- ited degree only, and says the girl is to| ‘With the utmost rts that the story moaning lips is a falsehood from beginning to end.

The sufferer begged piteously to see her mother, and was only quieted by a narcotic. Late last night Mrs. Heithier became hysterical and in her delirium started to destroy the bedding in her cell. She raved madly and in a loud voice de- manded that she be allowed to see her | daughter. Matron Mitchell, fearing | that she would injure herself, called Dr. | James F. Kearney, who was on duty | in_the Receiving Hospital. After con- | siderable trouble the doctor induced her | to take a sleeping potion and in a short | time she dropped into a sound slumber. To-day, if her condition is improved, she will be allowed to see her daughter. Mrs. Heithier is trcubled with heart failure and it is feared that she will collapse when she confronts her wound- | ed offspring. > Mrs. Gonzales, an aunt of the girl, | also visited the hospital and vainly en- deavored to cheer up her niece.

B i «HE IS A LIAR AND A COWARD” Durie He!thier Bitterly De- nounces George Alex- ander The bullet that shattered the life of beautiful Durie Helthier also shat- | tered that life's idol. Stripped of the glamour of romance with which It is the wont of the maid of the country to sur- round the man of the town, shorn of the floss of fine verbiage and the polish of his college, her betrayer appears to her as he is. Through eyes dimmed by suf- | fering she sees him a coward and a lar, and with lips a-tremble with the awful | pain that racks her, body and soul, she | says of the things that George Alexander | has sald against her that they are lles— | all lies. And she does not quite und(-r-“ stand how it can be so, for the hero of | her first fancy would never have robbed | her of her honor and then traduced her. | “Does he say that I have hounded him and made him give me money?” asked { she, and her voice was eager, strong, despito her life is hanging by a thread. “Would I have wished to end my life if only money had been refused me? Ask him that. Money cannot pay for love, and I have loved him, as God is my judge. Why could he not give me just that little in return for all that I have given him? I gave him all, my soul, my life. Ill not deny that now, and 1 hoped and prayed to have him love me as 1 cared for him. And he led me to believe that he did, until I discovered he was deceiving me, ‘and that has.worried me until I am nearly crazy. When he told me himself that he would deny the wrong he had done me I wanted to die. “He is a liar and a coward,” said the sufferer, starting up in her couch again, “and 1 don’t want to die now, if it is only to prove that he wronged me and has lied 80 cruelly about me. 1 want to g0 back home where men are men, not curs. I want to be with my mother. I want to go away from school and all this life and just live as I used to before I met George Alexander. Oh, the coward, to say these monstrous things. He knows they are not true, not one word of them. “There were times when I suspected he was deceiving me, and one time they told me he was, but ‘when I asked him and wanted to know the truth he laughed in his old way and said he guessed it would be a long time before he ceased to love me, and I believed him.

In his letters to Durle Helthier, George | Alexander expresses the tenderest love for her. He wrote long episties teeming | with burning words of affection, and be-| stowed upon her all the pet names in the ardent lover's vocabulary. So great is his | affection that he takes her into his *‘dear- ly loved university fraternity—The Sigma | Nu’ "—and tells her she, like the motto | of the fraternity, is his guiding star. He| says, in one outburst: “I trust you with| my dear fraternity’s dearest possession, ‘my honor.’ Sigma Nu stands for honor, ¢riendship and love, and I am one of a chosen few of that dear, grand fra- His Were | | | i ~ _ ERRING NIECE .. \.n.— - RELATIVES WATCH OVER DURIE HEITHIER.

Even though the poor creat- a jous as he would have his d to spare he Alexander says Durie came to informing that several months ag him and pleaded for mone; him that her disgrace would sooa become apparent to her companions and she wanted to go away. He had no money to give her and that was the last he heard of the matter. According to the youth's own sta ents, he has been the a knowledged ln\rcr of Durie for about s half. ¥ r and have corresponded regularly. He swears he never promised to marry her and that he was in no instrumental in induc- ve home and go to San Jose against her mother’s wishes. Durie's friends, however, are now con- vinced that b longing to be near her veeethcart was the real reason for her zoing to San Jose. Since entering the “niversity of the Pacific they have met at least o week. The young man made frequent trips to San Jose and the girl often came to San Fran Harry Ryan, the young man who loaded the pistol for Durle before she left San Jose, called at the Receiving Hospital yestérday and asked to see her. Dr. Thompson would not grant his request. Ryan said he had a premonition that the | girl intended to do something desperate, although he had no valid reason to think so. She came to him with the weapon, having taken the cylinder out and being During that _time they | ternity.” This is his letter written to Durie before she left home: My Own Little Sweetheart: I have just re- | turned from Soulsbyville, but must answer your dear letter, although it is twelve p. m. | | {1 am a regular tramp, ain't I dear?.

Ryan tried to dis- suade her from carrying the revolver, but she insisted, and he gave it to her. Mrs. S. Edell of 1604 Howard street, the aunt of Alma_ Tannehill, was with the sufferer for a few hours vesterday afte - noon. She requested Dr. Thompson to im- mediately notify her if Durie needed any- thing, and she would supply money or whatéver was necessary to make the poor girl comfortable. A Mr. Badger also telephoned that he would call and told the doctor to draw on him for Durie’s needs. Late last night the doctors reported that Durie was very weak, but she still had a chance to recover. During the evening a message was received from the faculty of the university asking about the girl's condition and notifying the hospital that the institution would give all assistance possible to aid in the recovery of Durle. ‘Although_the shock from the impact of the bullet had partially worn off yester- day. Durie suffered Intensely. She com- plained of excruciating pains in her left side over the peritoneum. This symptom led the doctors to believe the builet was located In that region. Opiates were ad- ministéred constantly to keep the patient quiet and relieve her agony as.much as there have been no un- loye to talk about her and praise her.

You do not know how much or how strong my love for you is; my dreams, my thoughts are all for you, my love. I love you, Durie, darling, as I will never love again. Belleve me, dear heart, and only love me as you say you do, and T am your slave. I know I am very queer and somewhat erratic, but you will know me better as our hearts draw nearer, dear.

He says: My Dear Durie: I hope you will pardon my long silence, but it has been almost impossible for me to write before now. I have just re- turned from work and am very tired. "I have been working at Mare Island for the past two weeks, almost day and night. There are now seven war vessels lying at the navy yard for repairs, and the Government has been rush- ing them through for some reason or other.

SAN JOSE, Nov. 17.—The friends of pret- ty little Durie Helthier denounce George A. Alexander for his malicious attempt to besmirch the girl's character. The girl bore an excellent reputation among her friends and at the University of the Pa- cific. Miss Helthier was always regarded as an innocent little thing and only her mad fnfatuation for the man who branded her as a Magdalen and a blackmailer led her to attempt suicide. Miss Wilma Tannehill, Durle’s room- mate, knows more of the girl, perhaps, than any one else. She became acquaint- ed with Alexander and Miss Heithier at Sonora. At that time the latter was only 16 vears oid. Alexander was up there studying mining. He did little work, de- voting most of his time to making love to the injured girl. Durle never made a confidante of her roommate regarding her love affair. But she often spoke of Alexander and said she loved him. It was understood they were engaged. Miss Tannehill is positive Durle never demanded money from Alexander. Miss Heithier gave as her reason for going to San Francisco Monday that she wanted to_see her guardian. Ben Rucker. She was dissatisfied with the course she was taking at the university and wanted to change to typewriting and Stenography or a commercial course, whereby she could make her own living after she left the school. Dr. McClish, president of the University of the Pacific, speaks very highly of Miss Helther. She vright pupil and al- ways very lady like. Miss Bessie Mayne, also expressed the same opinion, as did all her classmates. None of Miss Heithier's friends have anything but words of praise for her, while they denounce Alexander’s perfidy. She was in love with him and often sald that if the stories of his fickleness that reached she would kill him and herself. BECKER AND CREEGAN WERE NOT CONVICTED THE TRIAL JURY FAILS TO REACH AN AGREEMENT. _— | Case Will Go to Trial Again Next Monday—Defendants’ Counsel Objects to Unseemly Haste. The jury in the Becker-Creegan case was unable to reach a verdict as to the guilt or innocence of the alleged forgers, and yesterday morning at 10 o'clock Judge Wallace ordered it discharged. The jury retired to delfberate Tuesday even- ing at 5:30 o'clock. The hours dragged along with no word from the jury and Judge Wallace ordered it locked up for the night. Wednesday afternoon the in- structions were again read to the jury and it again retired. All Wednesday night it deliberated without result, and yester- day morning the members asked to be discharged. The request was granted without comment, and Judge Wallace set the 21st as the date for the opening of the third trial. Attorney McPike, who was present in court in the interést of the defendants, objected to such an early date. Henry Ach, special counsel for the prosecution, objected to a further continuance and de- manded that the case should again go to trial on the date set. Mr. McPike pro- fessed great indignation at the haste dis- played, and stated that when the case was agaln called he would make a legal show- ing for a transfer to another department of the Superior Court. It is stated that Edward Lange, David Brooks and E. H. Seaman held out for acquittal, while the other nine jurors in- | sisted that the defendant should be con- | victed. ——— Why We Should Be Thankful This Year.

At the second session of the California ‘Winemakers' Corporation held yesterday in the Chamber of Commerce, the mem- bers upheld the policy of President Henry J. Crocker’s administration by electing the old board of directors with two excep- tlons. Those were P. C. Rossi and John H. Wheeler. The two gentlemen were placed in nomination and would have been elected, but both declined. They took this course in order to avert criticism since they are dealers as well as wine- makers. They retire with the best wishes of the other members. The board as now constituted consists of Hen? J. Crocker, C. F. Montealegre, B. W. Paxton, Peter Ball, H. V. Chase, D. M. Deimas, W. J. Hotchkiss, Osgood Putnam, who represents Alameda County, and C. N. Pickett of Napa, the last two being newly elected. The board will or- ganize and re-clect Henry Crocker presi- ent. At the morning session R. C.Terry, D. M. Delmas, Osgood Putnam and J. Jacobl, of Lachman & Jacobi, addressed the mem- bers, and made powerful arguments for a continuance of the corporation and for harmony. In its ranks. The question of the continuance of the organization will be taken tup“sllx tmonths hence, as the agreement will not expire until th - ent vintage is dlsposes of. sibeas It developed in discussion that certain members had violated the agreement en- tered into in 1884 to sell to consumers only and not to dealers. They had become Gis- satisfied with the price obtained for '96 wine, and had sold their 97 product direct. They had not as yet transferred their ‘98 wine to the corporation on that account, but after listening to the earnest pleas made by some members to stand by tneir agreement they have agreed to carry out :fle!r promises, and will transfer their ne. President Crocker was jubilant at the outcome of the convention, and predicted a brilllant future for the corporation. In speaking of ..e situation after the ad- Jjournment he said: “I believe that I have succeeded in getting what I have been striving for a long time, and that is tue undivided support of the members of the corporation. The members came to this convention intending to find fault with tne management, but when things were ex- plained to them they saw the wisdom of our course and the result shows they have unqualifiedly indorsed our administration. The goucy on the old lines will be con- tinued. By the address of Mr. Jacobi, tne members see that the wine dealers are in sympathy with the producers and not aialns( them as hitherto been supposed.
