Tore Evidence Is Brought to Light. HE police now openly charge Charles B. Hadley, the missing accountant and bookkeeper of the Examiner, with the brutal mur- der of Nora Fuller. Chief of De- tectives Seymour has located a promi- nent citizen, whose name he refuses to divulge at this time, who saw Hadley and Nora Fuller together near the corner of Grant avenue and Geary street a short time before she disappeared. This im- portant discovery is, perhaps, the first positive evidence that has been unearth- ed in connection with the investigation into Hadley’s connection with the mur- der. Dgtective Tom Gibson found the man who makes the startling statement that he saw Hadley with Nora Faller, and. both Gibson and his superior officers are satisfied that their witness is not mis- taken. For reasons best known to them- selves the police do not intend to give out the name of this witness. There has been a powerful inflience at work to obstruct the police department in investigating the case against the missing man, and this perhaps accounts for the refusal of the detective to divulge the name of the new and importamt witness. RECOGNIZED HADLEY. The witness in question is a respectable | business man and bears an excellent rep- utation for truth and honesty. He knows Hadley well, and when he saw him ac- companied by a young girl, rather oddly dressed, he took particular notice of her. He says he spoke to Hadley, who bowed and looked rather sheepish, supposedly for the reason that he was a bit abashea at being recognized by a friend while in the company of such a little girl. The man in question has examined Nora Ful- ler's photograph in the costume she wore when she left home to meet the mythicai Bennett, and he positively identifies it as a likeness of the girl whom he saw in the company of Hadley on either January 11 or the day before. The picture shown this new witness was the one taken ex- clusively for The Call. The day after the finding of the body Nora Fuiler's clothes were placed on an- other girl, who posed at the suggestion of The Call. A likeness of the head of Nora Fuller was pasted on the photograph thus taken and then rephotographed, the re. sult being a life-sized plcture of the mur- dered girl as she looked the day she met her brutal slayer. GIRLS VISITED HIM. Captain Seymour and his detectives have also unearthed other important evi- dénce which brings the crime closer to Hadley’s door. The investigation into the missing man’s manner of living has Borne fruit. The police have se- cured positive information that Hadley on more than one occasion enticed girls NGH AT FOR, NEVADH George Gardnerand Jack Root Matched for July. A fight t6 a finish was arranged in this city yesterday between Jack Root and Gegrge Gardner, the middlewelght box- ers. The men are to meet in Nevada on a day between the 2d and the 6th of July. This is the first finish fight arranged in America since the memorable world's championship Dbattle between Fitzsim- mons and Corbett at Carson, on March 17, .1897. Senator A. Livingstone, who framed the law permitting finish fights in Nevada, has been here several days ar- ranging the details of the fight. He was interested with Dan Stuart in the for- mer affair. He met Alex. Greggains, representing George Gardner, and Western Al. Smith, representing Jack Root, at Harry Cor- bett's last night, when the articles were signed. Mr, Livingstone offers a purse of $5000 for the fight. Of this the winner will receive 75 per cent and the loser 25 Der cent. The men agree to weigh in at 9 a. m. on the day of the fight at 165 pounds, give or take two pounds. The referce is to .be from this city and is to be selected by the men ten days before the contest. Tho boxers agree to be in Nevada three wecke before the contest and will do most of their training there. The fight will take place in the daytime, probably in Reno or Carson City. s -+ CRAM'S SUPERIOR ATLAS, A car-load of Call Superior Atlases has arrived and they are now ready for distribu- tion.

L T & Baseball Cases in the Courts. ST. LOUIS, May 6.—In the Circuit Court to-day, Judges Fisher and Talty denied the application for an injunction made by the National League to restrain Shortstop Wallace, Pitcher Harper and Center Iielder Heidrick from playing with the St. 'Lows American League team, The decision of each Judge is based on a lack of mutuality of the con- tract, its abrogation of personal liberty, which, it is declared, may not be bartered away: its opposition to public policy, and its showing the’ existence of a co: bination in viclation of the anti-trust laws. This last showing is stated by the decision to be a sufficient bar to the en- forcement of the contract were it valid. PHILADELPHIA, May 6.—The Com- mon Pleas Court entered a degree to-day refusing to allow the appeal taken to the Supreme Court by Second ‘Baseman Lajole and Pitchers Bernhard and Fraser, the enjoined players of the Philadelphia American League Baseball Ciub, to act as a supersedeas. The effect of the deci- sion is that Lajole, Bernhard and Fraser are to continue to obey the injunctions re- straining tiem from playing on any other than the Philadelphia Natlonal League Club until a final settlement of the case is made.

HADLEY is wanted by this =Y ‘department for the murder of Miss Elen- nor Maude Fuller, a girl 15 years of age. This girl, who was commonly known as Nora Fuller, left her home in this eity on the afternoon of January 11, 1902, in re- sponse to a newspaper ndvertisement for a young white girl to take care of a baby in a %ood home and with a good family. She was to meet’her employer at a restaurant in the business portion of the city. After leaving her home, the ®irl was not agzin seen alive. On February S, 1902, the dead bofly of the girl was found .in an unfurnished house at 2211 Sutter street, this eity. The house had, previous to January 11, 1902, been rented and supplied with a second-hand bed and second-hand bed clothing. The body of the girl was found on this bed. The girl had been stran- gled to death, and previous to death she had been sexually abused. On the morning of January 16, 1902, the San Francisco newspapers published extended ac- counts of the mysterious disappearance of Ele: nor Maude Fuller, togcther with portraits of the &irl. On that day also Charles B. Hadley mysteri- ously disappeared from San Francisco, and has not since been seen. This department, acting upon evidence now in its possession, accuses Charles B.

GEORGE W. WITTMAN, Chief of Police. | | | | \ s between the ages of 14 and 16 years to his rooms. {where he fled fourteen years ago when Little by little Detective Gibson is co: roborating the story told by Ollie Dixo who lived with Hadley as his wife for more than a year, and who first directed suspicion in Hadley's direction. In her Statement ‘to the police Mrs. Hadley, as she was known, stated that she at one time found a little girl in Hadley’s room, and on learning that she was waliting for Hadley, Hadley's alleged wife ordered her to leave the house. The Dixon woman said in her statement to the(police that Hadley’s visitor was a young girl. De- tective Gibson and Captain Seymour, who have been working on the case personally, have located the girl whom Hadley's mis- tress found in the room. .She confesses that she had visited Hadley at his apart- ments, and also gave other valuable in- formation which Captain Seymour refuses to divulge. It is known, however, that Hadley gave her a pair of dlamond ear- rings and a gold watch and tried to In- duce her to run away from her home and go with him to Honolulu. This young glrl is said to know something important concerning Hadley's connection with the murder of Nora Fuller, and for this rea- son Captain Seymour will not at present make known her identity. EVIDENCE IS DAMNING. Handwriting. Expert Kytka has secured another large batch of the missing man's handwriting, and he has made several more {mportant discoveries, tending to prove that Charles B. Hadley is the man who rented the house on Sutter street and ingerted the advertisement in the newspa- pers. Up to the present time Captain Sey- mour has succeeded in securing some very strong evidence against Hadley—evidence that will undoubtedly be sufficfent to send him to the scaffold if he is apprehended. Captain Seymour is of the opinion that Hadley has made his escape to Mexico, he got into financial trouble in Chicago. At that time he wore a false mustache as a disguise. The theory is advanced | that ever since then he has at various times been compelled to wear a false mustache to avoid detection by people who came to this eity from Chicago and who knew him there. DISGUISED IN VICTORIA. That Hadley was in the habit of wea#- ing a false mpustache is no longer de- nied. While ih Victoria in 189 he went into the store of the Examiner agent at | that place wearing a false black mus- | tache, and when asked why he wore the disguise replied: “Oh, just to have some fun with the girls.” Chief of Police Langley of Victoria has been doing all he can to assist Captain Seymour in working up the case against Hadley. He has sent tracings of Had ley’s signature on the register at the Ho- tel Driard, which correspond exactly to the signature of C. B. Hawkins, which Expert Kytka says Hadley wrote on the | rental contract at Umbsen's. Captain Seymour is anxious to get the page of the register on which the signature is written | and he has requested the police of Vic- toria to induce the proprietor of the hotel to allow them to remove the page of each register upon which Hadley wrote his signature on his various trips to Victoria. Following is a copy of a letter recefved i from Victoria yesterday and also a re- | port made by Detective Palmer of that place; HANDWRITING SECURED. VICTORIA, B. C.. May 3, 1902. John F. Seymour, Captain of Detectives, San Franclsco, Cal.—Dear Sir: In answer to your letter of the 26th ult., I inclose copy of-report No. 2 by Detective Palmer. — As Mr. Hartnagle of the Driard Hotel would not let Palmer cut out the pages from the reg= ister I had Palmer make traces, which I in= close. Inclosed you will find receipts forsthe sum of $10 25 forwarded by you for_the plate of Had- ley. Yours truly, J. M. LANGLEY, Chiet of Police. Detective Palmer’s report is as follow: Detective Department, City of Victoria, B. C., May §, 1902. J. M. Langley, Chief of Police—Sir: Acting upon your instructions of the st inst., I inter- viewed the provrietor of the Driard Hotel, A. Hartnagle, who said he could not allow the leaves of his register to be cut t, but he would be pleased to loan Captain Seymour them on condition that they be returned to him intact when finished with. 1 inclose tracings taken from the registers of Hadley's signatures, two of each—one copy taken by myself and one by the hotel clerk, John H. Smith, who was clerk in 1899, and remembers Hadley and can swear to the signature. I interviewed Marsden, the news agent, who says that Hadley was smooth shaven when here, but he came into his store one day wenring a dark false mustache, which he explained that he wore for devikment to fool girls with. I also saw Saunders, t3e hackman, who says he never saw him with beard -or mus- tache, but says Hadley had sore eyes; that the bartender, Vaughan, gave him a souvenir beer glass of the Brown Jug saloon; that Hadley left -on the Vancouver boat one night, was drupk and never left the boat and returned here, which would account for the two entries in August, 1896. Yours obediently, THOMAS PALMER, Detective Serzeant. Chief of Police Wittman issued a cir- cular yesterday furnishing an excellent description of Hadley and formally ac- cusing him of the murder of Nora Fuller. The_circular also bears several exemplars of Hadley’s handwriting and a_sample of the handwriting of the man who sign- ed himself C. B. Hawkins.
