The young lady whom Crill married had been a customer of Shu- mate. A steady stream of people flowed in and out of the jail all day. Crlll was carefully scrutinized, sized up and measured. Of these thousands, more than 100 knew Dunham personally, and not a half dozen PRIEST PROVES THAT CHARLES CRILL AND MURDERER DUNHAM ARE NOT ONE Father Leggio Identifies the San Jose Suspect as a Man at Whose Wedding He Officiated in Colorado Some Years Ago-—Two Women Come Forward to Claim the Prisoner as Their Husband that when Crill was arrested he broke down and cried and pleaded with him to save him.

L | SAS OFFICIAL UPON < FUGITIVE MURDERER OF THE McGLINCYS, HIS DOUBLE AND THE KAN- WHOSE INFORMATION THE SUSPECT WAS MADE A PRISONER AND BROUGHT TO SANTA CLARA COUNTY JAIL. | f 3 | AN JOSE, May 1—Charles Frank- lin Crill and James C. Dunham are not one and the same person; this is the conclusion of most of the people of San Jose to-night. While | the two resemble one another enough to { be twins, the preponderance of evidence { is against the prisoner being the Campbell | murderer. The identification of Crill as | Dunham has Blustrated one thing, and that is that Dunham was very Ilittle known in San Jose. It is possible that if | the real murderer were brought to this | city not enough witnesses could be found | to go upon the stand and prove he was Dunham. The murderer lilved within himself; his whole life has proved a mystery to those | who tried to unravel the events of his | career prior to the murders. He made few friends, went about his own affalrs and kept his secrets to himself. When it came to getting a description of Dunham | the officers found little to work upon. Many had a passing acquaintance, but few knew him intimately. These latter are now divided as to the identity of the suspect. Father Leggio Identifies Crill. Crill was positively identified this after- noon by Father Leggio of Santa Clara | College” as a person he had married to | Dora Schreiber in Pueblo, Colo., in 1887. This meeting of groom and celebrant was the feature of the day. Father Leggio, who has a detective’'s skill, had read of Crill's arrest and called to see if he was the man at whose wedding he had of- | ficiated in Colorado. Buttoning his coat | well around him to hide the cloth of his | calling and with a borrowed hat upon his head, he met the suspect. The reverend | father skillfully carried Crill over his life |in_Colorado up to his wedding there in | 1887." Crill told of people he knew there: | that a certain Father Legglo had married | him to Dora Schreiber, who sang in the | choir of St. Patrick’s Church. He was ‘asked if he would recognize the priest who performed the ceremony, and Crill said he probably would not, as it was so long ago, but that he was & “fine fellow” | and he had learned to like him while he | was in Pueblo. He sald the marriage had | been performed in the annex to the church | and Miss Devereaux had acted as brides- | maid. Questioned as to a _description of Father Leggio, Crill sald he looked like his interrogator. The borrowed hat came off the priest's head, a merry twinkle lighted his eye and both men clasped hands. | ! Wedding Day Incidents. [ From that time on, they related inci- | | | | dents that proved Crill had been married by _the Father in Pueblo. Crill was not a Catholic, and in order to have the mar- riage performed in church a dispersation from the Bishop at Denver was necessary. This was late in arriving and the mar- riage had to be postponed from the fore- noon to the afternoon. Father Leggio and Crill had made several trips to the telegraph office to get this permission, and they recalled the payment of the $ the suspect was Dunham. ller, the stationér, who knew Dunham, and positively identified the man last night as the McGlincy murderer, ad- heres to his bellef. He says- he is sat- isfied the man under arrest is Dunham, and nothing can change his view. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Theurkauf, in whose family Dunham had lived for several years, were¢ sure the prisoner was not Dunham. Mrs. Maginnis, with whom Dunham took dinner two days before the commission of his crime, declare he was not the man. Practically a Free Man. ‘While Crill is still detained at the Coun- ty Jall, he is practically no longer a pris- oner. He enjoys the freedom of the place and walks about at liberty. The Sheriff's office, while making no admission, seemed convinced to-night it had the wrong man. In 2 day or two more he will be given his freedom. If ever James C. Dunham had a double, Crill is that man. Sherift Langford is being commended for bringing back one who so closely resembles Dunham for the people to form their own judgment. E. F. Greiner, who caused Crill's arrest, 18 heaping abuse upon the heads of the eople, who, he declares, do not want %urha.rn arrested. He still believes he has the right man. Crill emphatically de- nies that he ever made a confession to Greiner, whom he denounces as a liar and a perjurer. He believes Greiner was tempted by the blg reward offered and hoped to palm him off as the real Dun- ham in the great excitement which he thought would prevail here over the ar- rest. Greiner put up the money to bring himself and Crill to San Jose and he has given Sheriff Langford an assurance that he would pay Crill'’s expenses home if it was proved Crill was not Dunham. While Langford and Deputy Bache felt certain the man was Dunham, they did not feel like incurring the expense to the county without further proof. Declares Crill Confessed. “The man arrested is Jim Dunham,” sald Greiner to-day. “I have positive roof, but the>people seem bent on turn- ng this man loose. Without any inves- tigation_they declare he is not the man. Some who make this assertion have never taken the trouble to go and see him. I don't believe the people want to punish Jim Dynham. I have been to great ex- pense in bringing the man here, and if they turn him loose I must furnish him a ticket back to Kansas. He has admitted repeatedly to me that he is no other than Dunham. The changes in his appear- ance can easily be accounted for. The fellow always carries a bottle of dye with him and this he used regularly on his hair and mustache. He is continually pulling his mustache out straight and this ac- counts for the change in that respect. Dunham’s mustache formerly drooped. Why, Crill admitted to me that he had an operation performed in his eyes: that Is, the corner Wad been cut so that they would be opened wider and that the droop that is mentioned could not be used to identify him. And, then, how about the scar on his neck and those blunt thumbs, and then there is the crook in his nose. “I intend to see that I get fair play in this matter and that the man is not turned loose until more evidence is ad- duced.” Greiner for a number of years was Mar- shal of Burlington, Iowa, and claims that would say H. L. When told to-night that The Call had dispatches showing that two women claimed to be his wives, he appeared much disconcerted. He declared that he sepa- rated from his first wife in Pueblo in 1393. He obtained a divorce in Salt Lake in 1897 and the same year married at 'Salt Lake the woman now in Fort Scott, Kans. He said he brought suit suit for divorce, but refused to divulge the grounds. He re- fused to talk about his wives. IS CRILL A BIGAMIST? Two Women Claim to Be Wives of the Suspect. FORT S8COTT, Kans, May 1—There seems no doubt that the Dunham suspect now in jail at San Jose is the same per- son who for the past five months had made this city his headquarters and who is krown here as Charles F. Crill. Mrs. C. F. Crill is now at the Huntington Hotel in this clty, where she has resided since last December. Yesterday she gave birth to a baby and is in a very critical con- dition and the physicians will not allow her to be seen by any one. Mrs. Crill received a letter from her husband to-day. The letter was written on the train between La Junta and Trini- dad, Colo. 1t spoke of his going to San Jose and San Francisco, but did not in- timate that he was under arrest, and it is krown that she knows nothing of it. Since his arrival here Crill had been in the business of establishing magazine clubs in_the smaller neighboring cities and has been away from here most of the time, although his wife has been at the hotel continually. Crill left here six weeks ago for Wichita, where he was ar- rested. This 18 the longest he has been away from his wife since they atrived here. Nothing can be learned about him previous to his arrival in this eity, ex- cept that the landlady at the hotel had heard Mrs. Crill speak about being in Utah and the West. CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo., May 1.—Mrs. D. B. Crill lives at 223 North Second street in this city with her father, Michael Schrefber. Her brothers, L. and C. M. Schreiber, are music dealers at 117 North Third street. ~Mr. and Mrs. Crill have been separated since 1894, the family at that time living in Pueblo. Crill was con- sidered a worthless sort of a fellow and failed to provide for his wife's support. Of his whereabouts since the separation she and her family knew little, but they have had no word of his having been in California. The first of the present year he was living in Wichita, Kans., which has been his home practically since the iepan.uon, so far as his people here now. KNEW THE UNCLE OF CRILL. San Franciscan Substantiates Part of the Suspect’s Story. ‘Willilam Myer, who resides at 1528% Howard street in this city, has come for- ward to substantiate part of C. F. Crill's statement in regard to his past life. Crill claims to have had an uncle, David R. Crill, living at Flag Station, between Rockford and ,Rochelle, in Ogle County, Ill., with whom he asserts he went to live when he was 18 years of age. William Myer claims to have resided at Flag Sta- tion seventeen vears ago and says that he knew David R. Crill." It is not known whether David R. Crill stlll resides at fee by Crill, Crill was assured his mar- with his former experience he is not liable riage record could be found in St. to have made a mistake. Greiner says Ogle. o e e e B B e e o e e e e e R ) | GOES AMONG STRANGERS TO CLOSE HIS CAREER San Diego Suicide Hides All Evi- | dence by Which He Could Be Identified. SAN DIEGO, May 1.—An unknown sui- cide occupies a slab at the Morgue, and as ! the young man seems to have carefully | destroyed every chance of identification | and came to a city where he was an en- | tire stranger to take his life, it is quite likely that his identity will not be known unless discovered by accident.

The blackest type on the poster, which should indicate her subject, asks the question: ““Are you single or married?’ Other,_questions are: ‘“Have you a happy home? oes the world need a mannish woman?” “Is Mrs. Nation Right?" “Do you wish to succeed in love, business or matrimony ?” These, seemingly, are the questions which Miss Laube proposes to answer and she evidently expects that the recent prominence will ‘do her no harm, as the poster speaks of herself as ““The famous girl lecturer whom you have read so much about.” L OMAHA, Nebr., May l—Senator-Elect Dietrich this morning resigned as Gov- ernor and_was succeeded by Lieutenant Governor Savage. ATTEMPTS TO JUMP FROM THE SANTA ROSA Suicide of a Woman Passenger Pre- vented by a Member of the Crew. SANTA BARBARA, May 1.—On the down trip of the steamship Santa Rosa, which arrived in port this evening, a Mrs. Long, who, with her husband, was a pas- senger, attempted to jump everboard. She had acted strangely and kept on deck a great deal. When she believed no one was looking she climbed upon the rail to leap overboard, but a deckhand, whom she had not noticed, seized her skirts and held her fast until help arrived and she was hauled in. After this cpisode she abso- lutely refused to sveak a word. Even when questioned by Captain Alexander Mrs. Long would give no explanation.

All organized opposition on that Island is ended.” PERISHES DURING NOME BLIZZARD Benjamin L. Miller of Seattle a Storm Victim. United States Commissione Gay Dying as Result of Exposure. e Spedlal Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLB, May 1.—Nome papers of date as late as February 20, received to-day, add one name, that of Benjamin L. Miller, a well known Seattle man, who was the Recorder in the Agiapan district, to the list of those known to have perished in the recent No blizzard. District Attorney Gay of this city, and United States Commissioner for the Arc- tic district, was found badly frosen, and, according to last reports, was likely to die before medical aid could reach him. The report of Miller’s death came to Nome on February 18. With a man named Thomas, Miller had left the Agiapuk vil- lago for the headwaters of the river of the same name on January 20. A medi- cine man of the village was their guide. About ten days later news was brought into Teller by a native that Miller's frozen body had been found on the river. Miller's idow is at Nome with her father. His parents reside in this city. Pricr to going to Nome he was well known all along the coast as a marine en- gineer. The report of the freezing of Judge Gay was brought to Teller by a reindeer driv- er. He said that Gay was inland about 100 miles, with both feet badly frozen, and that he might die before medical aid could reach him. The man advised against the sending out of any rellef party at the time, on account of the severe weather. Mr. Gay has been identified with Cap- tain Tuttle of the Bear and Sol G. Simp- son and others of this city in the Lost mine of that district. He is a ploneer in that section and was appointed United States Commissioner by Judge Noyes last sum- mer. It is belleved- that he was absent from his quarters at the time on business connected with the company. He had in- tended to come out this winter to visit his relatives in this city, and the fallure on their part to hear from him in the last malils aroused fears for his safety. The storm appears, to have raged from the middle of January into the month of February. Many were frozen so badly that they will lose fingers and toes, but the list of deaths will not be large. On February 10, in the Solomon River country, the snow was ten feet deep on a level and drifted badly. Wood was scarce at that time and many cases of suffering were reported. Harry O'Neill and Adam Sneider of Teller City were caught in a blizzard during the early part of February while returning from Marys Igloo with a team of horses belonging to Charles Lane. Both men had to suffer amputations of parts of their feet. Rev. Father Treca of Nbome was_serlously frozen while on hig way from Unalaklik to Shakfolik. He bad = native boy as a guide. The boy be- came exhausted and the priest wrapped him in a blanket and put him on the sled. By the time he reached his destination the good man was suffering severely. His face was a horrible sight, having been frozen solid by the biting wind. Onmly slight hopes are entertained for his re- covery. UNIVERSITY REGISTER SHOWS MANY CHANGES Alterations in Stanford’s Faculty and in the Rules Regulating * Entrance. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, May 1.— | The university register which is to ap- | pear next week records several changes made during the year’s work and in store for next year. Assistant Professors Plerce, Stearns and Johnston have been promoted to associate professors; Instruc- tor Blichfeldt will henceforth hold a pro- fessorship, and Assistants Maddock, Mue- kleston and Snodgross will act as Instruc- tors. New men to begin work next year are Assistant Professors Ramsay, Rieber and Anderson and Instructors Bassett and Snodden. Under entrance regulations it is noted that manual training is hereafter to be considered for admisslon credits, and that candidates instead of being allowed to take examinations three times a year may come before the board in January and May only by special ruling. Students who have passed examinations to leading Eastern colleges will be admit- ted to Stanford without further question, and normal school graduates who have had a full four-year high school course may receive an advanced standing. The register shows that 1398 students are now enrolled in the university, an in- crease of fifty-elght over last year’s total. Of these 936 are Californians and 453, or one-third, came from other States and countries. The facully now numbers 136 members. COUNTRY STORE SAFE YIELDS RICH RETURNS Burglars Take $8600 in Cash From a Strongbox in Cayucos. CAYUCOS, May 1.—Burglars entered the general merchandise store of De Got- tardi & Righettl last night, opened the safe and obtained more than $8600 in cash. Entrance to the store was effected by bor- ing four holes through the rear door with an extension bit and slipping the door bolt. The safe has a combination lock, but the proprietors are not certain whether the safe door was locked when the store closed at 9 o'clock last night. Evidently it was opened by manipulation, as it shows no marks of violence. money- consisted of gold and silver and was in sacks in the upper part of the safe. All was taken except about $2 in small ccin. N. de Gottardl of the firm returned yes- terdn.i' from Los Angeles with more than $6000 in coin to take up the debts of the firm. This money was placed in the safe, of which fact the burglars probably had information. ~The safe also contained jewelry and negotlable papers, but these were not disturbed. The safe is one that passed through a fire here a few years ago and is by no means burglar proof. It is surprising that the proprietors should have placed such a large sum in it. Several persons knew the combination of the safe, but no one is under suspicion. A reward of is of- fered for the arrest of the burgla:s.

VENTURA, May 1.—It was officlally an- nounced this afterncon that the Santa Ana Water Company and the Ventura Land and Power Company have changed hands. Angeles late yesterday afternoon. The property is absorbed by the ¥entura Wat- er, Light and Power Company, with its princiral place of business in Los Ange- les. According to the articles of incor- poration filed with the Los Angeles Coun- ty Clerk there is a capital stock of $500.- 000, divided into $100 shares, which amount is fully subscribed. The directors are: James H. Adams, Thomas W. Phillips, Theodore W. Brotherton, John M. Gardi- ner, Frank E. Trask, Los Angeles; Wil- liam R. Staats and Jared S. Torrance, Pasadena. The property involved is exceedingly valuable, the consideration being about $250,000. The water company supplies the residents of this eity and Ventura avenue with water for domestic and irrigating purposes; the Land and Power Company furrishes electric light and power, and both companies practically control the free water rights and privileges along the Ventura River, which at present flows more_tharf 1000 miner's inches of water per day.

CARIBEAN S BENG SURVEVEL Naval Men Are Con- cerned Over Proce- dure ot Germany. e Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, May 1—Germany’s mysterious procedure in the Caribbean Sea is giving naval officlals some concern. The Germaa cruiser Veneta has just com- pleted surveys of the island of rgarita. These surveys are supplemental of others which German vessels have made among the West Indies. It is known by naval practice cruises, but really to the officers with navigation there and to make surveys. | No apprehension is exFressed that Ger- i many will take possession of Margarita Island. That would be considered by the United States a violation of the Monroe doctrine, and Germany is not prepared at this time to take a stép which might lead to war. It is belleved in well-informed circles here that the supposition that a colony of Germans will be established on Margarita Island will be the action taken at this time. It will be the duty of these Germans _to improve the harbor selected by the officers of the Veneta, which will be useful in case of trouble. Naval officials do not want war with Germany, and they belleve that it can be avoided by augmenting the fleet so as to keep it as strong as that of Ger- many. If Margarita Island should be nvnlrlble for use as a base of operations a naval officer who discussed the matter to-day said that Germany would control Venezuela and the Caribbean mouth of the canal, as Margarita is_closer to the isthmus than the United States. From his point of view there is no necessity of lacing American interests in jeopardy. Pt Congress will authorize the construc- tion of a sufficient number of battleships to enable the United States to keep pace with German naval construction the Mon- roe doetrine, in his opinion, which most of his colleagues share, would be peace- fully maintained.

Om examination, we find a Prostate Gland which | has been damaged by cither a contracted dis- | order or early dissipation. These patents | have no weakness at all. Prematureness, Loss | of Vitality, ete.. are the symptoms, or disor- dered function, of the chronically inflamed | prostate gland.
