-THE SAN FRAN iSCO CALL, FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1902. C YOUNG WOMEN'S ALLEGED ASSAILANT HURRIES AWAY FROM SAN LEANDRO! pOWER T0 PUNIGH! Town Is Excited Over Accusations Made Against Joseph Douglas by Various Girls Who Claim He Forcibly Hugged and Kissed Them on Dark Streets and the Accused Man Disappears--Said to Have Bad Record 75 o AKLAND, March 27.—If Joseph | Douglas, mechanic at the Best Agricultural Werks, San Lean- | dro, is not a veritable “Jack the | Hugger,” who has been terroriz- | ing the young women of San Leandro, he is the victim of an extraordinary con- | catenation of circumstances. Despite the | flattest kinds of denlals, Douglas is posi- tively identified by Miss Rosle Rose and | by Miss Flora Silva as the man who dur- ing the past three weeks had hugged them, and in Miss Rose’s case nad sc companied his demonstration by violently. kissing her. Aiso comes Mrs. Mary Oliveria with a story .somewhat 4in line with.that of the yourg women. Miss Loretta Gannon is | quite pe e that Douglas is the man | who followed her one evening as she was walking home from the Western Union Telegraph Company's office, where she ed as an operator. 3 Mary Corriera is another girl who is sure that Dougias had approached her | and attempted familiarities with her dur- | ing the same three weeks. ames of Miss Reed and Miss Fos- are likewise mentioned in connection he accusations made against Doug- ce his advent on March 2. | top of all this is added the declara- of Town Marshal Geisenhofer, who. sas recelved from Clovis, Fresno County, the information that Douglas was at that | place accused of actions y like those | with which he is connected at San Lean- | The ter | | Avengers Make Sure of Game. i ail of this stir was created and de- ped from the arrest of five young charged by Douglas with having anda robbed him.

Intense excitement since the occurrence has quite unnerved the girl and she has been seriously il from.its effects Miss Rose resides with her Mary Feliz, a few blocks from the cens ter of the town. She is 19 and comely, be- ing of the dark Latin typ “It was during the evening ot between 5 and 9 o'clock, that accosted me,” said Miss Rosc. “I had been out to get some medicine for my sister’s baby, who was {ll, and was hurry- ing home when this man stepped up to me and said, ‘Good evening.’ 1 replied, ‘Good evening,’ thinking the man was Mr. Sanderson, a friend of ours, | 1 was glad he had come along, because I | wanted some one I knew to walk home with me. “I asked him if he had got his job back, thinking stfll it was my friend, who I knew had not been working for some time. “He mudd: Mellin’s Food furnishes the phosphatic, salts necessary to build up the teeth. n Douglas was on Rose positvely positive to-day ster, Mrs. March 8, this man | it was t that replied by and that saying it w quite | into their .own | I +*- —fe SAN LEANDRO YOUNG WOMAN WHO WAS ATTACKED BY A HUG- GER AND WHO IS STILL SUFFERING FROM NERVOUS SHOCK RE- | SULTING FROM THE ENCOUNTER. ! + - 5 Los Angeles.

I t>ld the folks what had occurred and they ran out, but comld’ not see anything of the man. “There ¢an be no mistake about it. I recognized him 2s soon as 1 went into the courtroom.” Miss Silva’s experience was not quite so severe. She had alighted from an electric car and was homeward bound, when, she deciares, this same Douglas accosted her, seized her arm and tried to talk to her, but she broke away from him and sum- moned the young men, who had been awaliting an opportunity to take the law hands. " Mrs. Oliveria tells how Douglas had made a proposition to marry her, accom- panying his proposals with attempts at caressing her. Thomas Galvin, one of the avenging quintet, said to-day: “We had heard of this man’'s actions toward the young wo- men and had decided to take charge of him_ourselves just as soon as we.could catch him. Miss Rose had told us about her experience and we had heard erough from others about town to convince us that he needed harsh treatment. When Miss Sfiva complained we were ready. “The robbery story was cooked up as and real- d: GROCER VICTIMIZED BY TWO SHARPERS B. Donnelly Is Kept in Conversation ‘While His Cash Register Is Robbed. The two sharpers who have tricked a large number of storekeepers recently and ! have eluded the vigilance of the police have been again heard from. They hav first victim being a itea merchant on Hayes street. for about an hour in front of his stors Tuesday morning till finally one of them entered and asked about a vacant house or Bush street not far from theé store. Donrelly obligingly walked with him to the corner, a distance of about twelve 1 and he was kept busy answering questions about the house for a few min- utes, while the second man sneaked into the store and rifled the cash register, se- curicg about $10. Donnelly discovered his loss as soon as he returned to the store and when he ran outside the sharpers were not to be seen, He was able to give a good description of them which tailies with that given by other victims. —_— e Moore Wins His Suit. United States Circuit Judge Morrow yes- terday rendered a decision in the suit of A. D. Moore, as executor of the estate of his deceased wife, Frances Moore, Vs. The Bank of British Columbia. Suit w brought for the recovery from the bank of 5000 shares of stock of the Sanger Lum- “« Mellin's Food Babies” sent free. Bellin's Food Co., Bostoa, Mass. 1 ber Company.

Donnelly, a grocer at 1%1 Fillmore | | street, is their latest victim. They walked his explanation. Douglas wasn't robbed. There tvere several people who saw the beating and knew why he got it.” Town . Marshal = Geisenhofer said: “A few days after the newspapers had print- ed the story of this trouble I was called to the telephone by 2 man at Clovis Fresno County, who gave his name as E. affair and desired to give me some Infor. mation concerning Douglas. Brown de- cleared that Douglas formerly resided at Clovis and that he had been there charged Wwith attempting to be unduly familiar with young women. I have held the mat- ter in hand, awaiting action which might be taken by agy of the young women here who have complained.’” Justice Quinn, to whom Miss Rose ap- plied for the arrest of Douglas, said: ‘“Th young woman's condition is such that she is not fit to_appear in court and give her testimony. I have advised that she should delay action until she has quite recovered from the nervous shock and excitement." Thus it is that the mystery of this “Jack the Hugger"” has been solved to the satisfaction, at least of some of those who have been most directly concerned in the strange experiences that have aroused the SankLeandrolles during the last three weeks. As for Douglas, he had all of the exter- nal indications of sobriety and industry, He was accounted a good workman, but his emplovers know nothing more about him. His time of residence at San Leandro had been exactly twenty-five days when he departed last evening. Douglas is 35 and thereabouts. He said he was married and had a wife and children in Fresno County. Douglas went to San Leandro, he announced, to earn a living for himself and his family. His associates know nothing more about him. L I e s R mR BN % WILL LEAVE FOR ENGLAND TO CLAIM INHERITANCE Richard Murray, Serving a Term for Vagrancy, to Begin a New & Life. Richard Murray's sentence for vagrancy will expire Monday and as soon as he is discharged he will leave for London, Eng- land, to clalm an inheritance of $50,000 | coming to him by the death of his mother. | The money was left to him by his father, | but his mother was to have the use of it while she‘lived. His mother made a will | leaving two-thirds of the money to a married daughter and one-third to Mur- ray, but he will contest the will. Murray received a remittance of $30) a few days ago to take him to London and yesterday, accompanied by a deputy skeriff, he was taken to a dentist to have his tecth put in order. He was in the | City prison for a short time dressed in a new svit of clothes. For the last seven years Murray has been known as a Chinatown “bum.” ‘When out of jail he used ot peddle pencils and note books and with the proceeds get drenk for days on Chinatown gin till be was again arrested for vagrancy and sent to the House of Correction. He is a well educated man, about 40 years of age, and | says he will now lead a respectable life, get married in London and settle down. —_—— Sentenced for Petty Larceny. George Calbrath and Frank Ford, and 17 years of age respectively, appeared before “Judge Cabanlagecyelterdlp-p;n a charge of burglary. They were ‘accused of entering the premises of the Pacific Saw Manufacturing Company, 110 Beale strect, on March 10.

Oakl!and Office San Francisca Call, 1118 Broadway, March 27. The rights of litigants to punish their opponents who refuse to give testimony at deposition-takings before the calling of trials is about to be tested in the Supreme Court. A definition will then be had upon a question that is agitating the courts and lawyers of the State, the ques- tion having first been raised in the at- tempt to take the deposition of G. B. Danlels in the Enquirer suit. The out- come cf the test will have a direct bear- ing on the outcome of that interesting ltigation, as it will In fact have upon all litigation. ; Tne question came up to-day in Judge Hall's court, where Peter B. Donohue, who s suing M. J. Laymance and others for an accounting of the business of the California Standard and Giant Oil com- {.t!ames, was summoned to give his deposi- on. In a case in Contra Costa County the Supreme Court had decided that a Notary Public could not force a witness to ap- pear before him or testify if he didn't want to; In the Enquirer case a few weeks ago the question as to the right of the Court Commissioner to subpena or pun- ish was all threshed out and the decisions all seemed to be against the Court Com- missioner; so that there was nothing left to do but test the qualifications of a Su- perior Judge to subpena or punish. Judge Hall issued a subpena for Dono- hue at the request of the Laymance peo- ple, but when his name was called this morning he was not there. Attorneys Webb and Chapman answered for him that he would not obey the summons of the court. They quoted authorities to show that the office of a person taking a deposition is purely ministerial, whether he be a Notary, Court Commissioner or Justice of any Kind, and that, under the laws of this State, he is unable to punish for any disobedience of his mandates. Attorneys Bosley and Drumm for the Laymances were unprepared to meet the question thus raised, but expressed their belief that the practice of taking deposi- tions is legal. The attorneys finally agreed to argue the question upon an agreed case. Thus a citation will be issued for Donohue, and if he refuses to appear, punishment will be visited upon him. He will be within call of the court, however, and “‘will be summoned to the witness stand, where | his attorneys will advise him not to an- swer the questions that are asked of him. In that way a question that has never | been_fully tested will be brought before ,:{w Supreme Court for a final adjudica- | tion. | GIGANTIC CANVASES { ARE FINALLY UNROLLED Socci’s Paintings Wonderfully Depict Characteristics of Spanish and American Soldiers. D. A. Socci’s great paintings, whica bave already become famous through the | difficulties which have arisen in trying to | get them by the Custom-house officials, | were unrolled for the first time in this country at Castle Bros.’ yesterday. They are wonderful examples of the gigantic in art. The larger painting, named “The Sur- render of Manila,” measures approxi- mately 13x22 feet; the other is consider- ably smaller. “The Surrender of Manila” is a beauti- ful study of both the Spanish and the American soldier. In the faces of the Spaniards, who, beaten and crestfallen, are represented as marching across the Bridge of Spain toward the walled city, one can almost read the story of the toils | and troubles of the 100 days" siege, which have terminated in that worst of fortunes | to the soldier—defeat. At the head of the conquered forces walks a Spanish cap- tain who scarcely dare raise his eyes to- | ward the victors. The American soldiers lie about in that easy, careless way which is unobserved in appear worn and rather stolid, but gaze a little curiously at the defeated officer. The cosmoépolitan character of the volun- teers is accurately portrayed by types of the German, the Irishman, Frenchman and other nationalities. Native Filipinos look on the spectacle curlously. ‘Above it all is that beautiful indescribable sky, so well known to those whd have been oa the Luneta at sunset. 'The characteristic | and picturesque buildings and even the dust in the atmosphere are wonderfully portrayed. -The work will undoubtedly {Il'llke a sensation when placed on exhibi- on. he smaller picture shows in salute to a wounded man. Behind him are the glorious columns of the First California. The artist says that the Fili- inos and the Spanish got a new insight this courteous act. A new frame, fourteen inches wide, has the larger picture.” Both of the master- Pleces will soon be in shape for public nspection. / ———— ODD FELLOWS’ NIGHT IN THE ENCAMPMENT IMembers of the Higher Branch Will View Living Pictures of the Order.

She alleges that she deeded the property, which she acquired through her &.?rmé’e to her late husband, to her children, with the understanding ihat she was to hoid a life interest in the property. She charges in the complaint that Uhl, who had the deed made out, complied with her instruc- tions so far as the division of the prop- erty between himself and his sister was concerned. but neglected to provide for her life interest. She further charges that Uhl, who she claims acted as her sole advisor, took advantage of his position to destroy her rights in the premises. ——————————— Injured by a Runaway Horse. ‘William Schulz, proprietor of a fish tieth street, had ‘his the warriors of other nations.

The managers are always on the lookout for a strong act in.the animal line and any: novel turn that can be thought of is given: a trial. An addition to the already large show was made yesterday In the purchase of a fine pair of llamas, at a cust of '$1000. Im- _mediately after. the handsome animals had been delivered at the Pavilion Mru Norris, who trains the performers of thej show, took possession’of them and tried to “get a line” on what work they would do. The team followed their master and seemed contented in their new home. Llamas in thelr mountain homes are used as beasts of burden and the:nexi step of the trainer was to try them onj that line. A small boy was placed astride of one of the beasts and at once the gentle animal started a rough show that would have put the efforts of the buck- ing pony to the blush. No amount of cajoling would induce either of the llamas to play saddle horse. 3 The services of Jim Robinson, the trick riding monk, were brought into play as a last resort. When Jim was led into the resence of the show's latest acquisition Be Seemed to know what was expected of him and it was not long before he became quite friendly with the pair. Gradually the ape was brought closer and finally he was placed on the back of one of the ey 'a short “broncho busting” act the llama eased down and submitted to the rider.

When the exhibition ‘;vns over Jim acted as if he ved it. huillr'en oorrla feels satisfled that before next season’s opening he will make the work of the llamas a feature, that is if Jim Robinson holds his own. ———o——————— Camera Club Entertainment.
