Fact That Girl Telepinoned Home Most Puzzling Feature. At the end of a full week of unremittent effort on the part of the police of San Francisco to establish the identity of the murderer of Eleanor Maud Filler Cap: taln Seymour reluctantly admilifed last night that the mystery remained as im- penetrable as it was on the afternoon the body was found. So far as the known facts are concerned there remaln only three lines of investigation that promise results. One of these is the bloodstained towel | The towel | is an old one and has the appearance of | having been laundried a number of times. i It was not in the girl's possession When she left home and her mother is posltxye it daid not come from her house. The police are endeavoring to trace the forme: | ownership of the towel among the lodg- | ing-houses of the downtown district in hopes that the abiding place of Benne!ti or Hawkins during his stay in San Fran-, \isco may be discovered. The pattern of ones may be found in a hundred rooming- houses and hotels. Besides, among tne purchases made by Hawkins at Fitzger- ald's second-hand store was a towel and in all likelihood this is the one found on the body of the murdered girl. 8o the slender basis on which the detectlves are forced to pursue their investigations is evident. ‘Another slight clew which is being worked thoroughly is the fact that a bot- | tle partly filled with brandy was found | in the room at the time the body was discovered. At first it was thought pos- sible that the murdered girl had been] plied with liquor and that the excess to | one unused to stimulants had caused her | death. The autopsy destroyed this theory, as it showed no signs of alcoholic poison- ing. A thorough canvass of every saloon and shop selling liquor anywhere in the neighborhood of the house of death is being conducted by the city detectives hottle of liquor was bought and by whom. Nothing has been developed, however, | and the bottle may have been left by a former tenant. Truman Not Yet Located. A vigorous search is being made for | Charles H. Truman, at one time a mem- ber of the Oakland police force and stiil 2 resident of that place. He 1s now en- gaged in the money-lending business. De- Tective Hamill spent two days in Oakland earching for 7Truman, and on one of these occasions was accompanied by J. W. Krohn, the restaurant-keeper, who is | able to identify Bennett. Truman could not be located, and up to a late hour Ja night had not put in an appearance. Th¢ police refuse to s, vhat connection hie is supposed to have with the Fuller case, but from the fact that Krohn was asked to go to Oakland it is supposed that the man wanted bears a resemblance to the de riptions given of the murderer. i Nothing new developed . yvesterday . to. change in any way . the conclusion of the police that the girl. was murdered on the night of her disappearance from home. ¥ ‘he envelope bearing a San = Francisco postmark of Januray 21, which was found in the house, inclosed a circular from a i furniture house, and was _doubtiess opened by some of the men who gained admission to the Sutter-street. house ‘on the day the body was discovered in searching for a clew to the identity of the corpse. When it was found that the | inclosure gave no information it was | tossed aside and subsequentiy brought to i the Coroner’s office h the clothes. ' The envelope was left lylng on ‘the -floor ol the house and picked up there later. Police Are Puzzled. The most puzzling feature of the case to_the detectives is the fact that-the girl | telephoned to her home, saying she was in the block on Geary “street' with-thet family of her employer, that they were | nice people and that she would remain | there_all night. The message was re- ceived by her younger brother, and yes- terday he was submitted to a thorough questioning by Captain ° Seymour and Coroner Leland touching this feature of the case. The little fellow was positive that the voice at the other end of the line was that of his sister and that he had repeated the message correctly. F left the instrument to inform his mother, and when he returned he could get no response from his sister. Why did Nora Fuller utter the falsehood which her brother is certain he heard? If she was under duress a single word in the re- ceiver would have so alarmed her fai ily that a search for her would have be- gun at once and her terrible fate prob- ably been averted. Going Over the Ground. Mrs, Fuller and her three remaining children were closeted for two hours yes- terday afternoon with Captain Seymour, Coroner Leland and Autopsy Surgeon Bacigalupl. The entire ground was gone over and every detail of Nora Fuller's life that was known to her mother or the sur- viving children was repeated, but nothing important was _developed. From the knowledge Mrs. Fuller had of her daugh- “STRONGEST IN THE WORLD™ ¢ \ THE EQUITABLE. k&) « ASSURANCE SOCI OF THE UNITED STATES. Outstanding Assurance, Dec. 31st, 1901 ..

CIVIL SERVICE NOT FOR ALIENG Commission to Take One Off the Eligible . List. Investigates Case of One Not a Citizen Who Tcok Examination. ' The muficipal Clvil Service Commission Will meet to‘mobrow in an endeavor to unravel the knotty point as to whether an applicant who is not a citizen of the United Btates may be given the privilege of faking an examination for a position under the city government. The matter will come up on 2 report flled by, Chief Examiner Moran, which was completed yesterday and directs at- tention to the fact that James C. Quin- lan took the examination for dairy in- spector in the Department of Public Health and was placed first on the eligi- Dble list, with a rating of 95.75 per cent. It was su\)sequently ascertained that Quin- lan was an alien at the time he took the. examination, which was held two months ago. Quinlan himself acknowledges that he is not a citizen of this republic, but denies the right of the Civil Service Com- mission to take him off the eligible list on that account. The Civil Service Commission refers to a rule which it formulated at the beginning of its regime which provides that appll- cants for civil service examinations must be citizens of the United States, at least 21 years of age and actual residents of San Francisco. Quinlan claims that the commission has no legal right to exclude cause he is not a citizen. The commission, however, says that the rule was drawn up in conformity with a charter provision requiring that all depu- clerks, assistants and other em- ployes of the city and county must be citizens of the United States. The com- mission holds that the rule is legal be- cause an alien cannot hold a city office, and there would be no sense in allowing him to take an examination since he could not be certified for any position. The dis- pute will be settled by the commission to- morrow, when Quinlan will be obliged to show capse why he should not be taken off the eligihle list. ' —_— Foresters Give Valentine Party.

STRIKER WOUNDS INIPENTEE SPECTAL SALE Fred Raget Shot by Man Supposedto Be Wm. Borchers. Boy and J. F. Burlingame Are Attacked While on Way 4 Home. Detectives Fitzgerald and Graham are searching for Willlam Borchers, a boiler- maker's helper, who is alleged to have shot Fred Raget in the leg early yester- day morning. Raget 1s a bollermaker’s apprentice. Borchers has disappeared, but the detectives know his haunts and expect_to locate him shortly. The offl- cers also want two men who are impli- cated with Borchers. It appears that J. F. Burlingame, an engineer, and \Raget are employed by ‘William J. Brady, proprietor of the Eu- reka Boller Works, at 115 Mission street. Both were sent to repalr some pipes at the California Brewery, corner Eighteenth and Douglass streets, and early yester- day morning, while on their way to work, were assauited by two unknown men, who, Burlingame says, are striking boiler- makirs. Théy knocked Burlingame down and proceeded to beat him, when he drew a pistol and began firing at his_assailants. At this moment a _man, who Burlingame swears was Willlam Borchers, opened tire on him and Raget. The boy started to run away and had not-proceeded far when a bullet from Borchers’ pistol struck him in the leg and he fell to the ground, The three assailants took to their heefs and disapeared. Raget was taken to the City and County Hospital and the bullet extracted. The wound was not serious, as the bullet entered the fleshy part of his leg. Burlingame reported the affair to the police and Lieutenant Anderson, who is in charge of the Mission district, detailed his detectives to capture the men. Bur- lingame says he recognized Borchers as a man who was once employed by the Eureka Boller Works. The other two men he does not know. Diphtheria Raging in Our Midst.

Dellvered to any part of ter’s physical condition it was shown that there was no contradiction involved be- tween the theory that the girl had met her death on the night of her disappear- ance and the condition of the body. Madge Graham, accompanied by her toster-mother, was taken over the ground she said she had covered since Nora Ful- ler's disappearance by Detective Cody in order to test her veracity, She was found to have related her story truthfully in all essential details. The inquest has been set for Tuesday morning. The witnesses summoned so far are C. H. Lahanier and R. Burns, em- ployes of Umbsen & Co.; H. E. Deane, who discovered the body; Fred Crawford, another employe of Umbsen & Co.; B. T. Schell and Richard Fitzgerald, the sec- ond-hand dealers, who sold the furniture and bedding; Larry Gillen and Thomas Tobin, expressmen, who delivered the goods, and E. F, Bertrand, the locksmith, who claims to have inspected the entire house several times after January 1L Last night some onme who represented himself as from the Elite protograph gal- lery, which has the contract for taking pictures of dead bodies at the Morgue, was exhibiting a photograph of the nude body of Nora Fuller as she appeared on the slab of the exposing room. The print was undoubtedly made from the eriginal plate, and much indignation was ex- pressed at the carelessness of the official photographer in allowing such a picture to be exhibited in public. . Napoli Exhibits His Strength. An exhibition of strength.was given last evening at the Washington-square Hall, corner Stockton and Union streets, by Angelo Napoll, Graeco-Roman cham- pion. ~Napoll was formerly Muldoon's wrestling partner, and arrived in this city from Rome but a’ short time ago. Napoil swung 250-pound dumbbells In his teeth; then clutched four one-pound spikes that had been driven into a plece of timber in his mouth and broke them. The strong man_ then lay on the floor and raising a_100-pound dumbbell the length of his arms, dropped it on' his chest. Later, lying on his back, he supported by his legs a 250-pound dumbbell and two men sitting on its ends. Then fifty men in the audience attempted to unfold his arms, but found they were unable to do so. As a finale to the exhibition Napoli sup- ported a welght of more than three tons on his chest. Furey Brought Back.
