As was her usual custom, she Kknock- ed at his room door at 7 oclock, but, receiving no response, she concluded to postpone calling Mr. Hyman until 9 o'clock, thinking at the time that he was fatigued. She again called him at 9 o’clock, but met with the same result. She immediately came to the conclusion that Hyman was either too sick to answez or that he had been stricken with apoplexy. She obtained a duplicate key to the room and succeeded in effecting an entrance. As she opened the door she was almost overcome by escaping ga: She immedi- ately ran to the street, where she attract- ed the attention of Dr. Van Meter, who was passing the premises at the time. pon investigation the body of Hyman was prononuced dead by the doctor, who immediately notified the Coroner. When the deputies from the Morgue ar- rived they found that the chandeller in the middle of the rcom had been entirely removed. The doors and transom were tightly closed, indicating that death was deliberate and not accidental. Although the relatives of the deceased merchant maintain that the chandelier fell and was not removed the fact re- mains that if it fell the globes on it would have been broken and the connecting joint shattered. On the contrary, they were in a perfect state when found, one of the globes having apparently been taken off the chandelier and placed under the bed before the latter was removed. When found the body was lying at the foot of the bed with the head reclining on a small table beside it.

MRS, BERTSCH 1S ROBBED O COSTLY JEWELS A Bold Thief Makes a Rich Haul. GEMS VALUED AT $2500 DARING DAYLIGHT BURGLARY AT THE BELLA VISTA. Apartment of an Army Officer’s Wife Entered—Sixty-five Dollars in Money Also Taken—Police Have No Clew. A daring burglar entered the apart- ments of Mrs. Lieutenant W. H. Bertsch at the Bella Vista Hotel last Thursday afternoon and succeeded in making one of the richest hauls that has been brought to the notice of the police during the past year. The thief got away with two thousand five hundred dollars’ worth of dlamonds and jewelry and sixty-five dollars in cash. The bold robbery has created consternation among the guests | of the hotel, as they fear that thelr apart- ments may be looted at any moment. Mrs. Bertsch, who is the young and the Fifteenth Regular Infantry, now sta- about a month. Her beau- tifully furnished apartmen:s are on the third floor close to the elevator. About noon last Thursday Mrs. Bertsch left the hotel to go downtown on business. She locked the door of her apartments before leaving and hung the key on a hook in the elevator, guite a general custom of the guests at the hotel. When she re- turned home at 4 o’clock Mrs. Bertsch had occasion to open the top drawer of her escritoire, and to her amazement she discovered that in her absence a burglar had entered the room and carried off her diamonds and money. The costly gems were encased in a heart-shaped repousee sliver jewel case lined with blue velvet, and when Mrs. Bertsch left her apartments to go down- town it was lying in the left hand side of the drawer. he money was wrapped up In a statement of her account for the month at the hotel and was lying be- side the jewel case. The thief lifted the jewel case out of the drawer carefully, pocketed the money, closed the drawer and left the room in the same condition as when Mrs. Bertsch left to go down- town. As soon as Mrs. Bertsch discovered her loss she telephohned to Chief Lees and be detailed several of his Hawkshaws to find the thief. The detectives went at once to the hotel and took a description of Mrs. Bertsch's jewels, and ever since have been scouring the town in search of a clew to the identity of the bold day- light maurauder. Theegawnshops have been thoroughly searched, but the miss- ing jewels have not vet been located. Mrs. Bertsch firmly belleves that the robbery was committed by some of the employes of the Bella Vista. She has in- formed everybedy connected with the ho- tel that she will give a reward of $100, or even more, for thie return of the missing jewels and no questions asked. In addition to their intrinsic value, Mrs. Bertsch considers her lost jewels price- less, as many of them are gifts from her husband and other members of her family. The guests of the Bella Vista are both alarmed and mystified over the looting of Mrs, Bertsch’s apartments. The time-honored custom of hanging their keys on the hook in the elevator has been suddenly abandoned and the proprietor of the hotel has placarded the walls with written notices requesting the guests to leave their keys at the office when they go_out. The robbery promises to go down in the records of the Police Department as an- other one of unsolved mysteries of Chlef Lees' regime. The only persons having access to the apartments were Mrs. Bertsch, the Chi- nese servant and the elevator boy, all of whom had Kkeys. The detectives who are working on the case, are quite posi- tive that the Chinese servant did not com- mit the robbery, as they say it {s not the custom of the Chinese to steal jewelry. The elevator boy is also above suspicion because, when Mrs. Bertsch left the hotel she left the key to her apartments In his possession, and it Is not likely that he would chance almost certain detection under the circumstances. Everybody in- terested In the case Is having a rather hard time trying to figure out how the thief gained access to the hotel, and then to Mrs. Bertsch's rooms, without being seen by somebody. Durlnfi the day the front door is always locked and the col- ored bell boy sits at the door to recelve the cards of visitors. The key of the room was not removed from the elevator, so the boy claims, during Mrs. Bertsch's absence. Taking all of the above circumstances into consideration, Mrs. Bertsch is con- vinced that somebody in the hotel com- mitted the robbery. About a month ago a Chinaman who pretended to be a laun- dryman got into the hotel and succeeded in stealing several valuable pieces of jew- elry from one of the guests. He made his escape, but was afterward arrested by Detective Ed Gibson. "I was never more surprised in my life than when I returned home Thursdar aft- ernoon and discovered that my jewel case and all had been stolen,” ‘said Mrs. Hertsch last night. “I set the $65 aside from other money I had in the room, in- tending to settle my account with it. The room was mot disturbed in the slightest. When I returned the first thing I did was to open the drawer to get the money, which was wrapped up in a statement of my account here at the hotel. My eye Instinotively fell on the vacant spot where my jewel case should have been. It was gone. 1 looked for the money, and that. t0o, was missing.

Mrs, Bertsch has furnished Chief Lees with a complete description of the stolen Jewelry. Mrs. Bertsch is & woman of culture and refinement, and her jewels Were strictly in keeping with her per- nality.

Kenneall: The preliminary semblyman Charles y was accused of cm;sin: tthe of Willlam Quane, the old printer, :‘el'l:olhll\'ed in South Park, at Th}rd and Brannan streets, on December 29 last. The case has been continued from time to time since then, owing to the Assembly- man's enforced attendance at Sacra- mento during the balloting for United Senator. St’la‘;leas most important witnesses for the prosecution were Frank Cook and George ¥. Lawson. Both testified to having seen Kenneally and the old man quarreling, and Cook swore that Kenneally struck Quane, who staggered = back and fell. Lawson differed with Cook inasmuch as he swore that Kenneally pushed the old man back and his feet got entangled in a leash by which he ‘was holding two greyhounds, and he fell. Both testified that Kenneally picked the old man up and got soms whisky for him at a saloon near the scene of the affray. Kenneally in his own defense testified that Quane had been owing him a bill for $8 for stonig of his wagon and buggy. O Pecember 29 he met him and asked him when he intended to settle the bill. Quane made use of strong language and | said he would not pay a cent. The old man grew angry in discussing the mat- for and raised his foot to kick defendant, Who put his open hand on his breast and shoved him back. Qane stumbled over the leash attached to the two grevhounds and fell, striking on the back of his head Defendant did everything he could fo! him and gent him home in a bus. He swore positively that he did not strike the old man The Judge “said he would look over the evidence and would render his decision Saturday. By a singular® coincidence the Assem- blyman’'s father, John Kenneally, at- tempted to commit suicide in his house at 19 Gllbert street vesterday afternoon. He has been a sufferer for over a year from asthma, which made him despon- dent. Yesterday afternoon he loo?{ a razor and slashed his left forearm. Then he drew the razor across his throat, but was only able to make a flesh wound. He was sent to the Receiving Hospital in the patrol wegon and Dr. Thompson stitched and dressed the wounds. The old man declared that he would make another attempt, as he was tired of life. He was taken home last evening. WILL RATTLE THE BONES. Grand Minstrel Show for Benefit of the Golden Links.
