MYSTERY SURROUNDING WOMAN WHO ' COMMITTED SUICIDE IN THE IMPERIAL HOTEL AT STOCKTON IS BEING CLEARED UP BY THE AUTHORITIES. Her Body Is Positively Identified as That of'Mrs.'Har'nmond Moore, Who - Lived for Several Months at the Repelier Hotel in This City, and Who Came Here Last Ma_y From New York City by Steamer Via the Isthmus| s HAT the woman who committed suicide at the Imperial Hotel in Stockton last Friday was the well dressed, refined and well edu- cated guest who lived for a time at the Repelier Hotel, 781 Sutter street, this city, and who was known there as .| Mrs. Hammond Mosre, there is no longer the slightest doubt. In addition to posi- tive identification by people who knew her as a guest at the Repelier, other circum- stances have developed.in cgnnection with the case which prove circumstantially The pecu- liar disposition to confuse and to conceal her identity just before she made the fatal plunge into the shadows of death crops cut here and there in what little is known ‘of her life in this city. She went by the name of Mrs. Hammond Moore. That is about all that is known of her here. She was a woman of mystery. That she came to this coast from New York is Gefinitely established by Charles Aust in a letter to Chief of Police Wittman, but who her antecedents were or 'where or how she lived the greater portion of aer life is a matter of conjecture, for to the friends she et in her every-day lhie m this city she contided little of her past She spoke of herself very frequently, of her tiavels and the sights she saw, but of her relatives, save tne bare mention of 4 husbund, whose identity she toOK very- gooa care {o confuse, and a nephew whuse uname she never uttered, the woman of mystery said nothing that would give the slightest ciew to their identity. Fosters Make Identification. The fact that she was the Mrs. Ham- mord bicore that came to this city last May and took rooms at the Repelier on Sutter street was established yvesierday arternoon at Stockton when Mr. and sirs. Toster. who own the hostelry, called at the sStockton Morgue and laentined the Several others who visited the Stockton, Morgue yesterdey identified the body as that of Lyle Dickey or Mrs. Scal- Iy of Sacramento, but as Mrs. Scally 1s alive and well this phase of .ne case Simmers down to a simpie matter of mis- identity. Mrs. Moore evidenuy bears a remarkable resemblance to the woman known as Lyle Dickey and Mr Scally and there are a few singular ci cumstances in connection with the case which tend to draw the name of Lyle Dickey into the mystery. White Mrs. Hammond Moore hved at the Repelier she bore every evidence of. being 4 woman of wealt Her clothes were of the tinest make and daintiest texture; her trunks were filled with smart | gowns and her trinkets were well chosen | and costly; she paid her bills at the hotel promptly and always seemed to have plenty of money, but it was all a glitte ing sham. Broken.down in fortune, | unfortunate woman sold nearly every ar- | ticle of jewelry she possessed to pay her | bills and keep up appearances.

Seuth 371 Captain Seymour learned. last night that Mrs. Moore, while living .at the Repeiler, h: sold several pieces of jewelry to the firm of Sparrows & Goodenough, jeweiers, at 107 Gears street. Mr. Spatrows called at police headquar- ters last night and produced several re- ceipts signed by Mrs. Moore upon re- ceiving money from the firm in the tran- sactions. They correspond to the signa- ture on the register at the Repelier and the one at the Imperial in Stockton, ex- cept that a we!l defined effort to dis- guise the handwriting is shown. The Signatures on the hotel registers are written in a large, bold hand, but the signatures on the jewelry recelpts ' are rather cramped and the individual strokes of - some of the letters in the signatures are different, though the gen- eral characteristics of the hand are plainly discernible. This is another ex- ample of the hobby the woman had of surrounding, everything she did in life with ap element of confusion. Sacrifices Her Jewelry. On September 10 Mrs. Moore called on the jewelers and sold "'im an old silver bracelet, two silver stick pins, one gold bracelet and a silver neck clasp. ~For these articles she . received $1330. She called again on September 24 and sold Sparrows & Goodenough one ring with eight diamonds in it and another with five diamonds, a_pair of diamond screw earrings and a diamond scarf pin. The jewels were costly, but to the jewelers who had to sell them over again they @ ettt il @ MURDERED POLICEMAN LEAVES HOLOGRAPHIC WILL private room hér husband came in and | .

The State Board of Pharmacy caused | several arrests Jast week, among those arrested being I Levin of Levin Broth- ers, grocers, and M. P. Olson of Olson Brothers, grocers, for violating the pro- visions of the statute recently enacted to prevent the selling of poison unless a reg- istered drug clerk is in charge of the de- partment. The particular poison the gro- cers_were charged with seiling was wood alcohol. Statistics show there have been more deaths in the State recently from it than from any other poison. The cases of Levin and Olson were, called in Judge Fritz's court yesterday and the Judge was asked by the attorney for the pharmacy board to not punisc the defendants if they would agree that all poisons of that kind be removed from their stores. The defendants agreed to do as requested and the Judge dismissed the cases. The arrests were made as a warning to all storekeepers not to vio- late the provisions of the statute. —_———— Sneak Thieves Rob Storekeeper: Storekeepers are "again being made tue victims of sneak thieves. While one of them enters the store and gets the store- keeper dutside on some pretext the others rifie the till. A man entered John Mar- shall’s tea store, 218 Third street, between 12 and 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon an‘ asked the price of a certain tea. He lefi but returned in a few minutes and told Marshall that a man outside on the side- walk wanted to talk to him. Marshall went outside and began talking to the second man. The first man then sneaked back into the store and opened the till, but did not get any money. . The same men evidently, accompanied hy another, called at Frank Glaser's butch- er shop, 203 Second street. One of them told Glaser there was something the mat- \forced to part with an elegant scarfpin T was definitely set- [ tled vesterday that the woman who committed suicide last Friday at the Imperial Hotel, Stockton,’ was Mrs. Hammond Moore, who lived for several months at the Repelier Hotel, 78T Sutter street, this city. She was identified by Mr. and | Mrs. Foster, proprietors of the hotel. Captain of Detec- tives Seymour-learned yes- terday that while living in this city and just before leaving for Sacramento Mrs. Hammond Moore was forced to part witl nearly cvery article of jewelry she possessed to raise money to live on. 3 were only worth $200. In a_short time this money was spent and Mrs. Moore was forced to make another call on the jewelers and dispose of more of her valu- ables. This time she sold a silver watch for $5.. Mrs. Moore became a_ bit_ confi- dential with Mr. Sparrows and informed him that she hated to part with the jew- elry. “When it is all gone,” said Mrs. Moore, *“then I go.” Later the hard-pressed woman was made in the shape of a deer's head wit a diamond pendant. This was allowed t £0 the way of her other possessions as a last resource. She told the jeweler that it belonged to her husband and it was the emblem of a club of six wealthy men of which he was a member. Mr. Sparrows positively identifies Mrs. Moore’s picture, which was taken at the Stockton Morgue. He says he has a dis- tinet recollection of her face and that he cannot be mistaken. Captain Seymour believes that after leaving the city Mrs. Moore was forced to sell the rich cloth- ing, laces and sealskins that she had in her trunk when she left the Repelier on December 11. He believes that the val- vable sable coat which Mrs. Moore owned will be found in some of the pawn shops of this city or Sacramento. Mr. Aust, who wrote to Chief Wittman concerning Mrs. ‘Moore’'s identity, stated that she had traveled on the Newport from New York to this coast by the isth- mian route. On arriving in this city Mrs. Moore put up at the Occidental Hotel, according to Aust, who was a fellow pas- senger of the unfortunate woman. After leaving the Occidental Aust thinks Mrs. Moore went to the L’'Aiglon, but investi- gation shows that she went to the Repel- ler instead. The body of Mrs. Moore will be buried to-day, but the inquest will not bq held for several days. Coroner Clar of Stockton hopes by that time something will develop that will lead to_the identity of the woman's relatives or friends. Mrs. Dr. Duncan, who now lives at Hanford, but who dived for a time-at the Repelier, was a close friend of the dead woman. She was interviewed by tele- phone last night and said: 1 knew Mrs. Hammond Moore very well while 1 was stopping at the Repelier, but she never confided to me anything about her relatives or her past. On these subjects she was non-com- mittal. She spoke of a husband who was dead and once told me that she was married in Ken- tucky. She claimed to live in New York and said that it was her first visit to the coast. LYLE DICKEY IS ALIVE. Womean Thought t? Be Suicide Is Wife of Barkeeper. SACRAMENTO, Feb. 5—The Police Department and all who have investi- gated into the Sacramento end of the Stockton suicide story are convinced that the unfortunate woman is not Lyle Dickey, formerly a resident of Isleton, this county. Lyle Dickey is the present wife of Patrick Scally, and she is living with her husband at 1417 Third street, this city. To-night F. M. Dickey was reached by telephone at Isleton. He declared posi- tively that the woman who committed suicide at Stockton was not his sister, Lyle Dickey; that the pictures of the suicide bear no resemblance to any mem- ber of his family, and that Lyle Dickey is the present Mrs. Scally of Sacramcnto. That Mrs. Scally is who she claims to be is_attested by City Detective Fitzgerald, who knew her when she was Lyle 2 Dickey; by her brother-in-law, Louis Wagner, a former policeman and _em- ploye of the City Water Works, and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Margaret Dickey, dressmake The theory that the suicide might have been a sister of Lyle Dickey, now Mrs. Scally, seems to be contradicted by facts Fitz- gerald is authority for the statement cor- roborated by Mrs. Louis Wagner and Pat- rick Scally that there were only five girls in ~he Dickey family. four of whom_ are ascertained here.

But “this possible support is removed by the posi- tive statement of Mrs. Louis Wagner that she had received a letter from Mrs. Shepley four days ago. The latter was at her Philadelphia home when the let- ter was written a few days before. Mr. Scally said that a_few days ago he h:d heard that Mrs. Shepley was at l:er Eastern home. Mrs. Hammond-Moore registered at the Capitol Hotel, this city, December 11, re- maining until the 19th.

The Sacramento authorities say | that Lyle Dickey-Aiken is alive in Sacra- mento. The remains will be buried to-morrow, but the date for the inquest is not yet set. Mr. Sargent, a well known rapcher who knows the Dickey family, say§ that the woman in the Morgue bears no resem- blance to any of the members he knew. The woman whom several parties hers | claim was formerly the Dickey girl was | known at the White House as Mrs. Aiken and at the Courtland lodging-house as Mrs. Beninger. While at the latter place she gave a card party, in which she printed out her name and address with | artistic flourishes. Between the time the alleged Dickey woman was here and the arrival of the woman who committed sui- cide at least three weeks elapsed. De Marsh, who was apparently best ac- quainted with the woman said to be Lyle Dickey, has not seen her sincé her de- | garlure shortly after Christmas.

J} BISHOP NICHOLS' GLOSING LECTURE Discusses Better Meth- ods of Teaching Relig- ion to Children. The Right Rev. Bishop W. F. Nichols, D.D., delivered the last of the course of lectures at St. Luke's Church, Van Ness avenue and Clay street, last evening, which have been given under the auspices of the Sunday School Commission of the Diocese of California. Bishop Nichols took for his subject “How to Teach Doec- trine” and -proved in the course of pro- found and deeply thought out arguments and demonstrations that the better meth- od to instruct the child in religion was to reach its spiritual understanding and in- stinct. The subject of teaching had been treated in the course of the lectures and the main point which had been under con- sideration was the development of the child mind in the portraiture of the life of Christ, and ‘in the moral forces and capabilities. 'Jphe lecturer said he had a suspicion organized for Sunday school work fre- quently went astray from what was ac- tually in mind to accomplish. The Bishop caused much amusement in relating a story of a Sunday school class being asked by the teacher what was wanted. “Yes,” she asked, “what Is wanted?"” Child after child failed to give a satis- factory reply. One suggested that what was wanted was money. ‘‘No,” replied the teacher. Another gave answer that it was- books that they needed, and again the teacher replied that books were not required. At last a young urchin put up his hand and the class turned toward him. “Well, my little man, what is wanted?”’ asked the teacher. “Brains!” shouted the boy. The reverend lecturer likened teaching to our great State of California in that we have an abundance of products, but we are not able to get them satisfactor- ily to the market. We should dwell, he said, to some extent on that which we have to teach and how best to get it to market. The matter should be well de- fined, but he acknowledged that the dif- ficulty was to instill it in the minds of those who are to be taught. He spoke of the power of observation in the child. It absorbed a great deal of data, and as it grew older learned tne explanations. It was most natural for a child to ery “Our Father!” and from syllables grew sen. tences and from sentences came the lin. guist to stir ine multitude. We teach the child the Lord's prayer from that cry “Our Father,” and the more we teach it the more it becomes a living spirit. The pojnts upon which the Bishop dwelt as Tequiring explanation and to be impressed upon the mind of the child were moral obligation, duty to God, to neighbor and to self. — WITTMAN WILL ENFORCE CUBIC AIR ORDINANCE Wholesale Arrests in Crowded Dis- tricts May Follow Issuance of Order by Police Chief. Under. an order issued yesterday by Chief of Police Wittman, the cublc air ordinance, which has been a @Gead letter on the statute books for a number. of years, will now be enforced. The ordi- nance requires that a human being must not occupy sleeping apartments contain- ing less than 300 cubic feet of alr, and that that volume must be increased as many times as there are persons in the TOPNe revival of the ordinance will cause wholesale arrests. Shortly after its pas- sage several years ago the jails were crowded with prisoners and extra ac- Sommodations had to be secured. Nearly 000 Chinese were taken into custody in two days and many of them slept on the Toof of the County Jail until they se- cured their release. Chief Wittman discovered by a recent | investigation that the laws of health in this respect have been flagrantly violated and that much disease has been the re- suit. In tke Latin quarter, south of Mar- ket street and particularly in the Chinese quarter the officers have been instructed to be active. Throughout the section of cheap lodging-houses, where poor lods- ers are packed in l’egll'dleel of space, the condition is very unhealthful and the po- lice will give their particular attention w0 these places. et ST S RS Dr. .
