Just then the young man saw me watching them, so he stopped and I walked away. The young man followed me for half a block, and then turned back to the old man, who was trying to open the door or ring the bell of a lodging-house up Howard on the other side of Fourth street. The young man went up to him and then I went on and saw no more.” Abbit later on said there was a third man in the party, but that he took no part in the affair. The third person answers the description of Amos Rus- sell, a former roommate of McFadden. ‘When taken to the Morgue Abbit posi- tively identified the body there as that of ‘the old man he had seen. Abbit also iden- = ASAVOEY, N el GTH S - EORGE McFADDEN, a self- styled waiter and constantly out of employment and who man- aged to live by his wits and by singing in dives, was arrested yesterday for the robbery and murder of Charles Tucker, an aged man whose body was found in a doorway at 520 Howard street at moon Monday. The evidence connecting McFadden with the old man’s | death is overwhelming, but in despite of this he persisis in denying his guilt. Tucker’s remains were identified at the | Morgue yesterday by Sheriff R. R. Veale | of Contra Costa County. The dead man | was a resident of Martinez, where he worked as a farm hand. He was a mem- : | ber of the Salvation Army, but his habits | were not in consonance with the teach { ings and practice of that body. He was addicted to drink and it was his custom to go on sprees which lasted indefinitely. He was an Englishman and 74 years .of the day when death summoned | age on him. | When Tucker left Martinez for this city | on Sunday for the purpose of celebrating | his birthday he had $50 in his pocket. He | went to a saloon on Howard street, where he met McFadden. The two drank to- gether and departed in company. This | was at 11 o’clock on Monday. An hour | later Tucker’s body was found as stated. His skull was fractured and it was at | irst surmised he had met his death by |an accidental fall. Inquiry by the de- | tectives yesterday connected McFadden | with the affair and he was arrested | pending further investigation. The facts brought to the surface tend to show be- | yond question that McFadden robbed the | 0la man and that in the struggle which | followed Tucker fell and fractured his | skull. | STORIES DO NOT AGREE. McFadden makes many contradictory statements. He is about 27 years of age, | slender and smooth shaven, and his face ROYAL / Larve Powoer Makes delicious hot biscuit, griddle cakes, rolls and muffins. An absolutely pure, cream of tartar powdez, RNOYAL BAKING POWDER CO,, 100 WILLIAM §T.; NEW YORK, yshows the marks of dissipation. His | manner is that of a man who has made | the acquaintance of the police on more than one occasion, though he has not | been arrested here before. He claims to hail from Harrisburg, Pa., and has lived here a year. His story as to his move- | ments and doings is vague, but as far as the detectives thus far learned his is the story of a wasted life, recklessness of purpose and soclal -degradation. | McFadden says he met Tucker for the first time in' M Smith's saloon at 740 | Howard street about 11 o'clock Monday. | They took a drink together and separat- | ed, that being the last he saw of the dead | man. He was drinking heavily, and was | quite intoxicated. When arrested McFad- | den’s knuckles were wounded in several | places and in trying to account for these abrasions he tells the story that he had a fight in Martin’s saloon near the Pre- | sidio. He says he had delirium tremens | Monday and went to a friend’s house in | Oakland to recuperate. On his return to | the Prescott House on Kearny street. | where he lodged, yvesterday morning he | was arrested The testimony secured by the detsctives is very strong against the accused. It | was discovered_ that although perennialiy impecunious, McFadden had money on the day of Tucker's death. He bought a suit of clothes from Leopold Hirsch at Kearny street. for which he paid $10. Hirsch says McFadden displayed gold coin amounting to about $50 at the time he made the purchase. This was about 11 o’clock on Monday. SOME STRONG EVIDENCE. Bdward Smith of 738 Howard street says he saw McFadden and Tucker drink- ing together in the Smith saloon as early as 7 o'clock Monday morning. Tucker told McFadden that he was going to Mar- tinez, and the latter asked him to stay longer. An hour later the men left the saloon and some time near noon McFad- den walked into the place again, wearin anew suit of clothes and dlsplaying golg coin. McFadden said he had just received $100 from home, and Smith asked to see the letter in which it came. -McFadden then left the saloon. Bert Nelson, a clerk in a dairy store at 723 Howard street, informed the police that he saw McFadden and Tucker stand- ing in the very doorway where an hour later Tucker's body was found. The men were talking together in some excitement. Nelson paid little attention to the circum- | stance until he saw the account of the finding of Tucker's body in the doorway at 820 Howard street. The story of McFadden that he bruised his knuckles at Martin's saloon near the Presidio is false, as there iz no such sa- loon. “He was unable to produce the let- ter in which his reported remittance of $100 came, and the theory of the police is that his wounds were received in a strug- gl: with Tucker at the time of the rog- Ty. Among his effects was found a shirt with badly torn sleeves, a bit of evidence which the detectives regard as of great value, It has aiso been disclosed that McFad- den often said he would t work for $150 a day when he could go out any night and pick up ten times that sum thout difficulty. All of McFadden's stories to the told since his arrest, are contradictory. He denies that he robbed Tucker, and says that his failure to remember details of the st two days is due to an attack of delirflum tremens. lle will be held sub- Ject to the verdict to be rendered by the Coroner’s jury when the inquest is held. boy by the name of George Abbit, who was on his way down Howard street about 10 4. m. Monday, says he saw an old man come out of a saloon at 733 How- ard street, and a young man came out ““The old man had something in his hand,” sald Abbit, “which may have been money, but if it was or not T am not sure. The young man was try- ing to get the old one to go somewhere up Howard street, but would not go. and the young one began to struggle with | Police. \ — MURDERED - MAN, THE YOUNG SUSPECT AND- §CENES_SHOW- ING BRIEF ACQUAINTANCE. tifled McFadden at the prison as the young man, ’{‘hs police are looking for Amos Rus- sell. ! e L e R Y ) AUDIENCE DELIGHTED BY ELOCUTIONIST Miss Jean Durrell of Chicago Dis- plays a Rare Command of Negro Dialect.

TELLS R STORY -~ OF DEPRRITY Complaint Is Lodged by a Japanese Woman Against Husband. Flees to the Presbyterian Mis- sion to Escape a Life of Slavery. > Tatsuhei Hamasaki stands in danger of the penitentiary, and his wife Koto may be deported to Japan. It is the old story of Oriental woman slavery. Tatsuhei got into debt here, and ordered his wife to lead an immoral life in order that the debt might be paid. He said also that his brother's wife, Akl Hamasaki, should do the same, and that the two women should live together. Said the woman Koto yesterday to Immigrant Inspector Schell: ““We didn’t want to do what he said, and Aki and I talked it over. We wept a good deal over it and I told my husbav] that we would not obey.” The husband came the next day and took his brother’s wife, Aki Hamasaki, away with him. After he had gone, Koto left the house and threw herseit upon the protection of her cousin, a young laborer named Watanabe. He with a male friend escorted her to the Presbyterian Mission Home on Sacramento street. Captain Schell after hearing the woman's story decided to recommend to his superior of- ficer, United States Immigrant Commis- sioner North, that the woman should be sent back to Japan. She is in a destitute condition. Koto does not want to go back to Japan. She prefers to go with her cousin Watanabe into the orghards and vine- vards this summer and cook for the Jap- anese fruit pickers. Commissioner North fears that should she be allowed to re- main_with Watanabe she might be sold into slavery, and_he prefers to send her back to Japan. She says that she mar- ried Tatsuhei last December after hav- ing been acquainted with him only two or three days. They arrived here on the steamer China on April 14 of this year. BIG DELINQUENCY SHOWN IN THE TAX COLLECTIONS Street Car Strike Very Materially Af- fected the Receipts of the Office. Taxes on real estate and personal prop- erty for' the fiscal year 1901-1902 becamse delinquent last Monday at 6 p. m. The amount delinquent this year is $173,299 01 The delinquency last year was $113,000. The street car strike affected the receipts of the tax office, as the penalty added for non-payment is but 5 per cent for the second installment, and where the bill was small people postponed payment until the cars resumed operations. The largest payment on any single plece of real estate was $12,001 paid by the owner of the Emporium property; the smallest bill was two cents, assessed on a water lot. The largest payment on personal property was made. by the Mar- ket-street Rallroad Company. The total amount of money collected during the month was $1,19%,517 89. The largest receipts for any one day was $147,000. One savings bank protested against paying taxes on a mortgage, claiming exemption, as the property in uestion was church property, and under the State Jaw church property is exempt from taxation. 'As the bank charged the same rate of interest to the church as to private persons, they failed to impress Tax Collector Smith with the justice of their contention. —_—————— ARRESTED FOR POSING AS HEALTH INSPECTOR Police Apprehend Special Officer and Are Looking for His Confed- erate in Crime. The health officlals are looking for a man named Tracy, who has been posing as a health inspector, and in company with a special officer named John O’Brien has ben holding up milk wagon drivers and cattle men along the San Bruno road. Tracy, from the description given by O'Brien, is supposed to be John W. Tracy, who was recently removed from his posi- tion as food inspector for irregularities in making reports. * THe knowledge that Tracy and O'Brien were posing as inspectors came from an attache in the Stanford stables, who tele- phoned Secretary Emery to ascertain if any authority had been given to a health inspector to hire a horse and buggy. Em- ery. replied in the negative and sent Offi- cer Cottle to the stable to awalt the re- turn of the masquerading pair. O'Brien scon returned to get a fresh horse and was placed under arrest. He and Cottle then went about the .city to apprehend Tracy. Shortly after the arrest of O'Brien Chief Sanitary Inspector Hassier learned that two meat wagons had been stopped by two unknown men and quantity of meat taken from them. —_————— Verein Eintracht to Picnic.
