It was a kind of gruesome double event, and it drew as many of the morbidly curious as could get into the small inquest room at the Morgue. Charles H. Parent, the was Miss Van Ornum’ married man who friend, does not on in which fate has placed him. He was represented by Judge Dibble, but the latter did not find it necessary to take any pary in the pro- ceedings. The jury had been impaneled and had viewed both bodies several days ago.

Cullen, Charles H. Williams, Frank Butler, Nels Oiesen and Willlam H. Ycung. Every man was in his place on and the first witness called was “‘1 wished to preserve the good name of Miss Van Ornum,” Parent said. He is bald and middle aged and a trifia hard of hearing, but the dead girl seemed to have been devoted to him, despite the | fact that he had a wife and children in Los Angeles, and his feeling for her had something of manliness in it. “I tried to er good name,” he said.. ‘“‘She had been registered at the Emergency Hosgltal as Mrs. Parent and, although I sat by her dying bed all night in the hos- pital, it was not until it became certain | that she could not live that I told the physician who she really was. Then, on his advice, I wrote a message to her pa- rents in Chico and the doctor signed it. Her people are respectable.” Parent Tells His Story. Then Parent recounted the story already told by him of how Miss Van, Ornum, against his advice, took the nostrums s‘;& her by Popper, whose fee was to e $15. Dr. James D. Murphy, assistant at the Emergency Hospital, told of Miss Van Or- num'’s arrival at the hospital in strong convulsions. He thought she had been poisoned, and the contents of the stomach showed coloring matter similar to the color of the medicine in one of the phials found in the dead girl's room. He knew nothing of the connection of Dr. Popper with the case at that time. Dr. Charles 1. Morgan, toxicologist to the Board of Health, said he had found traces of the fiber of cotton root in the stomach, but not enough to have pro- duced death. Cotton root is not a power- ful poison, and all that was contained in the ttle shown uld not kill a person in ordinary health. The internal medicine used was princirally cotton root. The Lebels Exposed Him. I» the inquiry into the cause of the notified by Mr. Parent of the death of Miss Van Ornum and of the suspicious circumstances attending it. With Detec- tive Dillon he went to the residence of Dr. Popper, on Devisadero street. He took with him the medicine bottles found in the room. Dr. Popper was at home, and sald he never talked to more than one person at a time, and that he would not break the rule ing favor of the officers. Meehan talked to him, as did the detec- tive. To the deputy coroner the doctor said he might have put up the medicine shown him; that he might have labels similar to those on the bottles in his pos- session; that he might have treated Miss Van Ornum, although he never asked names. To Detective Dillon the doctor was equally laconic, and when it was suggest- ed that a search of the premises be made he refused to permit it. This was unsat- isfactory, and Dillon telephoned to the police station for help. Detectives Wren and Balley were sent out to the place and the search was made. The police had been watching Popper for a long time. He had once been arrested for sending prohibited matter through the mails in the interest of his nefarious trade. “I asked him,” sald Detective Dillon, “whether everything in the house be- longed to him. He said that everything did, and when I found the labels, similar to those on the medicine bottles, and ghowed them to him he said, ‘You have found the incriminating evidence.’ He was placed under arrest, and upon his asking why waa told that he would be in- formed at the central station. Then he said, ‘Excuse me for a moment, gentle- men,’ and turned to a bureau in the room. I do not know whether he took a bottle from the bureau. but when he turned again he had drunk the greater part of the contents of a bottle he held in his hand and which he threw to the floor, scattering a few drops of the con- tents upon Detective Bailey. ‘I have fooled you all,’ Popper sald, and fell to the floor in convulsions. He was dead within a very short time.” Autopsy Surgeon Bacigalupl testified that Popper had died from carbolic acld oisoning, and that closed the case. The ury found that Miss Van Ornum, aged 33 years, came to Fer death through “taking medicines sold Ler by one Dr. Popper for the purpose of producing an_abortion.” The verdict in the case of Dr. Popper was that he had come to his death by taking carbolic acid administered by himself with suicidal intent.

A. R. Davis, a frequenter of saloons on the Barbary Coast, was arresied yesterday afternoon by Policeman Nelson on a charge of assault to murder. John Pat- rick, a longshoreman, was in the Dewey saloon qn Kearny street, near Jackson, and claimed he had been robbed by Davis, who attacked Patrick with a knife and cut him on the face and neck. 56 a4 T is significant that in homes of wealth where demanded, Ivory Soap is ery. At the same time, in hundreds of families where economy decides selected. Thus its purity attracts the rich; its economy attracts the poor.

Oelrichs and Virginia Vanderbilt, and others named in decedent’s will, to the petition of Theresa A. Oelrichs, Virginia Vander- Dbilt and Charles L. Fair for the distribu- tion to them of the personal property of | decedent's estate. The answer is the same | fn language and effect as that filed by the | executors of decedent’s will. Judge Pater- son, who was appointed attorney for the | minors in 1895, stated that his sole object in filing the answer was to secure a stand- ing in court for his clients In the matter now on hearing in event necessity for the same should arise in the future. e ' Prussia gave 1228 medals last year to 614 couples who celebrated famond and gold- en wedding anniversaries.
