This was Olive Skelly, sometimes Carrie Dixon, a woman who had represented herself as Hadley’s wife, and with whom he had | consorted for about ten months. To her | persistency in trying to locate Hadley was due whatever effort the police made to find trace of him. What her motives | were can only be surmised. She herseif gives no satisfactory explanation of them, although she is not backward in speak- ing of the interest she manifests in the missing man. Her actions, however, do not correspond with the sentiments she pretends to entertain toward him. To what she claims was a chanco re- mark of hers made to a detective on a streetcar about ten days ago is due the fact that the police have singled out Hadley as the probable slayer of Nora Fuller. When Hadley first disappeared Detective Cody worked on the case and ;met the Dixon woman, who represented that she was Hadley’s wife. He saw her on a streetcar ten days ago and asked her if she had heard anything of the missing man. She answered in the nega- tive, adding that she became frightened over the Fuller case and dropped the en- tire matter. Cody did mot press the inquiry, but re- ported the conversation to Captain Sey- mour, who at once realized its posrible significance and began a personal investi- gation along the lines suggested by the woman's conversation. As a result the police are prepared to say that suspicion points strongly to Hadley as the man Who decoyed Nora Fuller to the Sutter- | street house and left her dead body there on or about January 11, and give as grounds for such susplcion the following facts: t HADLEY DISAPPEARS. Hadley disappeared from San Francisco | on January 16, the day on which the fact | was first made public that Nora Fuller office by Bennett, the chirography of the Examiiner “advertisement and the speci- mens of Hadley's hz\ndwrmnf obtained by the police are the product of one hand. So far as the police are concerned the alleged connection of Hadley with the Fuller murder rests upon the above facts. Captain Seymour will not say that he believes him guilty of the heinous crime, but he belleves that the incriminating circumstandes are stronger against this latest suspect than agalnst any other whose name had been mentloned in the case. “I do not accuse Hadley of murdering Nora Fuller,” sald Captain Seymour. “It is not my custom to say in advance whether or not 1 belleve a man guilty, but I do think that the facts we have developed tend strongly to connect Had- léy with this crime and justify us in using our utmost efforts to effect his capture.” TALKED WITH RELUCTANCE. According to Captain Seymour, it was with the utmost reluctance that the Dixon woman was induced to reveal the damaging facts contained in- her state- ment and on which rests the principal basis for suspecting Hadley of the crime. She says that she did everything she could to shield him, but in the same breath claims that she does not and never did care for him. Like all women of her class, she is a medley of contradictions. About 28 years of age, and of the world worldly, she pro- fesses to look upon her late companion merely as a “good thing,” who treated her with kindness and whose going caused her no heart pangs. But behind her smil- ing exterior no one may know what furi- ous flames of jealousy and rage for her desertion have prompted her to the dis- clgsures which she claims to have made reluctantly. % It is known that she was feverishly anxious for some news of Hadley after bis disappearance and sought in many ways to ascertain tidings of him. Then she exhibited a feeling of animosity against him and endeavored {n many ways to cast discredit upon him. For awhile she claimed that she was his wife and was assiduous in propagating the news that he was a defaulter for a Jarge amount. Here is what she told a Call_reporter of herself and Hadley and the Fuller murder case: around.” He was devoutly attached t but I did not care for him. I have a friend in the East whom I love. I liked Hadley for' the presents he gave me. “I was never married to Hadley. had rooms i my house and we were al- ways together, He was of'a jealous dis- position and threatened to shoot me if I went out with any other man. I did not care a fig for him. -He would follow. me from place to place-and often he would take a carriage and go to the CIiff House and try to get nfe to go home. If I came home late he would be walting up for me. ~‘Charley Hadley is not dead. Whether he is guiity or not, he will never return to this cfty.

When Captain Seymour suc getting a full statement frqm timeeealg?x;z woman he secured photographs of Hadley and had the originals altered by the ad. ditlon of a mustache and different varle. ties of hats to conform with the descrip- tions of Bennett’s manner of dress. These were_first ‘submitted to F. W. Krone of the Popular restaurant, who is the- only man who knew Bennett personally. Krone Wwas emphatic in his declaration that Had- ley could not be the same man as Ben- nett. He sald that he had known Hadle for eight years and that by no possibility could the accountant disguise himself by the addition of a false mustache so that he would not recognize him. Krone was 50 positive that the case seemed to. fail at once, but there was more encouraging news_from some of the others who had mfit g‘enge}tlt lor Hawkins, . T. Schell, a salesman em; J. C.

It this was not Hadley, Kytka's expert hand- writing testimony falls to the ground. The advertisement: printed in the Ex- aminer which Expert Kytka claims‘to be in the same handwriting as Hadley’s has been -ascertained to have been written by one who could have no:possible connec- tion with the Fuiler case. WOMAN’S STATEMENT. Following is the statement in full made by the Dixon woman to Captain Seymour: C. B.'Hadley lived with me for six months in a flat at 647 Ellis street. He rented the flat. Before that we. lived for four months in rooms at 315 Ellls street, and before that, we lived In rooms for one month at O'Farrell Taylor streets, I don’t know gvhich corner. He Lo At the, 1aat place he gave the landlady $10, besides: for_the ‘rent. Hadley disaopeared on January 16, 102. I believe he was last seén at the Lotta foun- tain at about 6 o'clock that evening. He tele- phoned to me at about 5:30 o'clock that even- ing and told- me that he would be home to din- ner instead of our taking dinner downtown, as we intended to do, as it was my birthday. I have not seen him’ since the morning of Janu- ary 18, 1902, and I have not heard from him Since he telephoned to me on the evening of that day. T saw him on the morning of that dny and he was all excited. When he went away he threw some money to me and told me to put it in the bank for my birthday. During the preceding week he bought me a pair of earrings and this gold chain I am wearing. On 'the day following his disappearance I was making up his and my laundry and at the very bottom of the plle of sofled clothes I found. one_of his overshirts. one of his under- shirts and a palr of his drawers. There was hlood on each of these three articles. There was mcre on_the shirts than on the drawers. I took these bloody articles and burned them. On the morning that he disappeared he did not change his clothes, something that he had never before failed to do. - He always changed his clothes every morning. When I found the bloody garments they were in the closet at the very bottom of the pile of solled clothing. | T "SIVES AWAY CLOTHING. — *After Hadley disappeared I gave some of his clothing to my brother-in-law's brother—a cutaway coat, a full-dress suit and an extra pair of pants. Another pair of his pants I ‘ade over for my brother. T burnt his plug Tiat and two of his other hats. ¢ the because I'was sick of looking at them. this {'Vas frightened.

Before we left -there 1 went down to his rooms one evening with another woman and I found. a little girl sitting there. T asked her if she hadn't made a mistake and she said “No. 1Isn't this Hadley's room?” She said that -Hadley had promised to mest her there at 9 o'clock, and. I told her that he would not be hoT until 11 o'clock.

I saw a plece that Hadley had clipped from a“Chicago paper about his father's death. His name was John Start. Hadlev used to send long telegrams, costing $10. $12 and $15. About last Christmas he sent a long telegram, and I think it was to his mother. ' TELEGRAPHS MOTHER. After/ Hadley disappeared I telegraphed to Mre. John Start or Hadley, and finally I_got word . from the telegraph company that Mrs. Start had received the telegram. T also wrate to_her and received a reply that she knew no more about Hadley's whereabouts than I did. The last Chicago address of Mrs. Start was 6657 Wentworth avenue. - That is the last one I know of. The letter I e her was just The reply that she sent was postmarked East Park statlon. Hadley worked for the Examiner for fitteen years. . Sometimes he was drunk.a week at a time. T understood that he was head book- keeper and’ that he received a salary of $100 a week. Hadley was an American, so far as I know. He used good grammar. - He always had plenty of money. On the: morning that Hadley disappeared he got up very early and went down and got the papér. He carried the paper to the bathroom, where I afterward found it. It was not his custom to get up early and get the paper. He never did it before. Hadley always carried a newspaper in his pocket. He never read while we were eating at restaurants, as I am so the table at nervous. He used to read at ome. Two months before Hadley disappeared he t an advertisement In the Examiner for my rother-in-law -~ applying for a position as teamster. answer was to be directed to box at the Examiner office.

RETIRED TEACHERS RECEIVE PENSIONS Owing to Depleted State of Funds Commission Is Compelled to Give Them Reduced Sum. i The Public School Teachers’ Annuity | and. Retirement Fund Commission met yesterday, with Superintendent Webster and Treasurer McDougald present. The demands of the retired teachers, to the number of thirty-one, were ordered pald for the quarter just ended. The teachers received but 6) per cent of what they are legally ‘entitled to, owing to the depleted state of the funds. It is expected that the teachers will receive more money next quarter, as the Board of Education has adopted a resolution providing that one- half instead of ome-fifth of all fines for absence of teachers shall go Into the re- tirement fund. The commission placed Miss R. G. Campbell, A. T. Winn and Miss L. S. Templeton_on the list of annuitants, with pensions of $50 per month each. @i g the fact that he was a defaulter for a large amount, stated to be even as much as $18,000, and an examination was being made of his accounts at the time of his unexplained departure. That he was fin- ancially_involved was denied at the time by the Examiner managers, but the small importance that the paper attached to the disappearance of a trusted employe of so many years' service suggested that an ex- Rla:&tiyn had been found for his hasty ight. 1t is pointed out by his friends that he never was known to pose in any of the characters assumed by Bennett. and they treat as ridiculous the idea that he could Enwright.
