A BARBAROUS FATHER APES BRANDES' ACTS Charles H. Fay Lands in Jail. ENRAGED AT A PETTY THEFT THRASHED HIS DAUGHTER BLACh AND BLUE. The Merciless Man in His Rage Bare- ly Spared the Life of His Thir- teen- Zear-Old Child, Laura. BERKELEY, April 2—The university town has hardly rid itself of one in- human child-beater before another has come upon the scene. Yesterday morning Brandes, the notorious, was convicted of murder in the second degree for beating his child to death. Hardly had the news of the jury’s verdict spread to West Berkeley ere there was enacted in a small cottage back of the Hoffburg brewery a crime of similar nature, a most aggravated and fiendish thrashing of a heipless young girl. Save for the fact that the outcome did not amount to act- ual murder the main particulars of the revolting incident resemble almost detail for detail the shocking treatment meted out to the unfortunate Lillian Brandes. The perpetrator of the crime is Charles H. Fay. He is now behind the bars of the Alameda_County Jail. Fay's ho stands opposite Curtis street in West Berkeley, between Univer- sity avenue and Addison street. He is said to be a shiftless character, unwilling to work, and forcing the entire support of his family upon his wife. Among his neighbors he is known as a heavy drink- er and his family suffers frequently from his whisky-inflamed anger. It was during one of these drunken rages that he returned home yesterday evening. His daughter, Laura, a bright, intelligent girl of 13, was in the house, Without provocation apparently he ac- cused her of having stolen a piece of cake. She pleaded _innocence. Making violent ‘threats of killing her the father took what must have been a heavy trunk strap, old and hard. With this, doubled and knotted, he dealt blow after blow upon the helpl ild till she fell to the ground, dazed with the shock and pain. The beating covered all parts of the body, from the head and shoulders down to the ins ?‘L Not an inch was spared upon which the cruel strap did not fall.

Fortunately neither of her parents dis- | covered her absence and as fast as the bruised condition of her body would al- low made her way to a friend’s house in South Berkeley. The matter was taken to Marshal Lloyd, who kept the girl at his house over night. The full extent of the brutal beat- ing was not seen until this morning, when she cnmrlmned of severe pains in her back and limbs. Several brui on the skull first at- tracted the attention of the police. Fur- ther examination revealed the whole story. The body of Lillian Brandes, maltreat- ed almost beyond recognition, was not worse than that of Laura Fay. From shoulder to hip: d thence anw‘nward the flesh was a mass of blue and purple ridges.

HE IS A CLEVER SCHEMER SOLD MANY BIBLES UNDER FALSE PRETENSES. He Induced Saloon-Keepers to Think They Needed Them in Their Business and Made a Clean-Up. The identity of the man who sold the last “‘gold brick’” to Banker John H. Jew- ett has been fully established. He is not the unknown for which he would pass under the name of E. N. Baker, but a confidence operator who would be willing to lose a nickname by which he is known all over the country. That nickname in all the rogues’ galleries in the West is “‘Holy Moses” Baker, and the law is fair- ly itching for a good grip of its slippery possessor. Baker earned the prefix “Holy Moses™ and considerable incldental coin by a clever swindle he worked a dozen years ago. At that time he was a temporary resident of Albuquerque, N. Mex,, un- known to fame or the police. He wanted coin, but lacked the energy to work for it, so put in his spare hours in the New Mexican town thinking out some plan to sy money.” At last he hit upon the idea, since so commonly put in pra tice, of using the mails to catch victim by wholezale. In contradistinction, how ever, to the methods since pursued by h imitators, Baker’'s plan was novel. = He was an artist in his line. The ordinary ucker” was not to his taste. He pro- posed to go after people who were sup- posed to know it all, so that in after | years, while enjoying their coin, he could gloat on the artistic fishing he had done to land them. Baker wanted ‘“‘wise” people, and after events approved his judgment. From Al- buquerque he sent out circulars to saloon- keepers, cigar-store proprietors and well- known men about the cities and towns of the West. He had a plan, his circulars stated, whereby he could furnish them with the raciest book in the language, one that Uncle Sam could not keep out of the mails, and one that the lucky buyers could exhibit openly in their places of business for the delectation of their It was a great money-maker, he 1d be had from him for $i | amps or money order. | . How man wise’’ people bit will never | be_known, but there were thousand judging from the mail Baker received af Albuquerque. So many were the letters | addressed to him that the postal authori- ties became suspicious and began an in- vestigation. They found that Baker had | been sending to his various correspond- ents for the price named Bibles that couid be bought for a song. In each book he had put a slip of paper, reading: “The choicest chapters are from Gene- sis to the journey of Moses to the prom- ised land.” | There was no way to prosecute Baker, apparently, but he was requested to move on and he moved. Letters addressed to him at Albuquerque were held up and re- turned to their senders, who were inform- ed by the Postoffice Department of the nature of the swindle practiced agalnst them. Since that time Baker, who had earned the name of ‘‘Holy Moses,” tried all sorts of schemes through the West. Latterly he has worked the write-up scheme, and in many other cases besidés that of Jewett apparently with success. His partner in that swindle and in many others is one ll({.

Aboard were Professor Anthony and the crew of the schooner Stella Erland, which went shore thirty miles north of 3 ay on the night of March 18, T | men of the crew were as follow Keading, R. C. MacGregor, F Arthur Whitlock, James ' N. Gaylord, | George Spencer, Chase Littiejohn and | Charles Jones. Al hands have hard luck tales to tell of their experience. When they landed on the beach after the wreck they pitched tents made of tattered sails and lived in comparative comfort until the custom officers at Magdalena seized their provisions. They were then re- | quired to subsist on food which they | claim was_good enough for uncivilized people but hard on the stomachs of white men. None of the cargo of the Stella Erland was recovered. The accident was due principally to currents which drove the vessel twenty miles inward before its course could be readjusted. Captain An- thony has already made formal protest to the American Consul at Ensenada. —_—— THE BIG SHOOT. A. Strecker Retains the Crown of Champion. President Philo Jacoby mounted a table at Schuetzen Park yes‘crday and with a spread-eagle swoop of his arms announced that the great annual Schuetzenzest of the California Schuetzen Club had begun. ‘With loud cheering the large number of marksmen present made a rush for the shooting stands, rifles came to shoulders and soon the merry popping heraided the inauguration of a contest in which goodly number of sharpshooters added to their fame and the contents of their pockets. Shooting began at 9:30 o'clock In the morning, and the last rifle cracked at 6 in the evening. Delegations were present as guests from the Sacramento l..fle Club and the Centerville Rifle Club of Alameda County, and at least one man in each of these visiting organizations made a record he need not be ashamed to mention. No official scores have vet been made out, but individual computation shows that Adolph Strecker, the Post-street ‘Sycamore.” has again shown himself to be the “noblest Roman of them all” when it comes to pointing a gun at a Lullseye. There were two targets—the ring and the honorary—three shots being permitted at the latter and four at the former. On the honofary target Strecker's score was 72, 72, 70, 69. This titles him to first prize, a choice between a silver dinner set and a target rifle valued at $65, do- nated by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. Besides, he will receive a champion silver goblet from A. L. Ott. On the ring target Strecker’s score was 93, 91, 90, 89, which places him near the head of the list in that competition and will bring him a cash prize of $20. The performance of the veteran marksman was the more remarkable on account of the fact that in all he shot away only ten tickets, and if he had desired to make himself “‘too conspicuous,” as he himself expressed it, he might have taken first prize on the ring target. Closely following Strecker came F. P. Schuster, who won first prize on the ring target with a top score of 95, Whlcg drew down the first prize of $30. “Schuster also made a top score of 71 on the honor- arr target and will receive a valuable prize for that performance as well. Jacob_Meyer, the ‘“‘father of the Sacra- ento Rifle Team,” came second on the 1ist on contestants at the honorary target, scoring 72, 71, 70 and 6 is was very close to Strecker’s record. D. B. Faktor came in for third place on the same tar- get with a top score of 72, backed by a second of 71. The other members of the incfiafle‘ntosghf’b éndhfhei%scfires were: . Meister, 62; J. Gruhler, 71; E. id, ; and F. hfi‘hsmne{, 24 5 P n the public or ring target Dr. Rogers and John Utschig Sr. vied for secgond place, each scoring 9. Only the official computation will tell which won. Scores of 93, in addition to that of Strecker, were made by C. J. Walden and O. Bremer. A. H. Pape made 92. . Horner of the Centerville Club e eight H. B. H. Beck, cson.

With the same rifle he scored 73 on the ring or pub- lic target. The other members of the Centerville Club and their score follow: R]. D. Blacow, 59; C. W. Risen, 51. R. E. Smith of the same team did not shoot. Philo Jacoby. in spite of the fact he and T. J. Carroll were busily engaged in :eemF that everything ran smoothly all lay, found time to take a hand in the con- test and won thé plaudits of his fellow members by scoring 66 on the honorary target in 20-23-23 time. Philo is a lively imen in spite of his age and takes a back seat in shooting for nobody. “I'ne principal prize scores on the honor- ary target were as follow: A. Strecker 72, J. Meyer 72, D. B. Faktor 72, Fred Kuhnle 72, J. Utschig Sr. 71, C. Thierbach 71, F. P. Schuster 71, A. H. Pape 71, C. J. Walden 70, R. Finking 69, J. Jones €S, E. Ladd 67, H. Eckmann 67, Fred Rust 67, O. Bremer 67, D.

He says that he has used his gun for nine vears and shot it 30,000 times, and if he wins the match will use the same gun “as long as he is able to peep over a sight.” e Women’s Retief Corps Home. Yesterday Department Commander Sol Cahen, accompanied by T. C. Masteller, J. H. Simpson and F. E. Myers, members | of his staff, paid an official visit of inspec- tion to the Home for Destitute Female Members of Old Soldiers, which_was erected in 1889 by the Woman's Relief Corps of the Grand Army of the Republic at Kvergreen, Santa Clara County. The party was met by C. Mason Kinne of the advisory board and Mrs. E. d'A. Kinne, the treasurer of the home. Under the guidance of Mrs. Geraldine E. Fris- resident of the nome, and Mrs, Cora .'Merritt and Mrs. Masteller of the board of managers, a thorough inspection of the premises was made and everything was found to be in perfect condition. The six acres surrounding the place are under a high state of cultivation, and the fruit trees, some three hundred in all, promise to yield a splendid crop. At least two acres are planted in vegetables, which will produce more than sufficient for the use of the home, which at the present time has room for about twénty more In- mates. The management of Mrs. Frisbie has made the home all that it was ever in- tended to be. Members of the home universally express satisfaction with their | treatment and say that it is “an ideal | home in an ideal spot.” Although this home has been open for nearly ten years, the entire furnishings, except possibly the carpets, are quite as good as when originally purchased. ~There is not a dol- | lar of debt against the institution, which | speaks well for the management. It is n_institution of which the loyal women | and comrades of the Grand Army may | well be proud. ———— | HOTEL ARRIVALS.
