Sends Out Cards Designed to Bring a Flocd of Small Coin. Ladies Say He Acted Without Au- thority and Talk of Prose- cuting Him Crimi- nally. Charity only, says Jerome Hamilton, who lives at 48 Thirteenth street, and is | down in the directory as “with Dunham, Carrigan & Hayden Company,” is what actuates him in an effort he has been making to have a flood of dimes turned teward his humble apartments, and which flood is already, perhaps, pouring with its silvery tinkle through his doors. Fraud only is what the officers of the California State branch of the Interna- tional Sunshine Society can see in Mr. Hamilton’s alleged efforts to aid the poor. They are greatly incensed at his actions and say that If he does not desist they will bring a ‘criminal prosecution against him. The officers of the local branch of the scclety have just discovered that Ham- ilton has been sending throughout the State cards bearing on one side the pic- ture of a messenger boy and the words: “Do not send this messenger over the boundaries of this State, Territory or province until end of journey.” Each card is numbered. On the reverse side is printed the following: Dear Friend: A representative of the In- ternational Sunshine Soclety, of Wwhich Mrs. Cynthia W. Alden of New York is president general, has undertaken to collect $15,000 by an international subscription of dimes for the purpose of establishing a Sunshine Home in San Francisco to shelter and comfort poor and homeless children. TO KEEP CARD MOVING. I am one of 500 messengers that have been sent out on this worthy mission, and we are daily visiting the homes of comfortably sit- uated people Who have little ones of their own, and are diligently collecting contributions toward the relief of poor children who have neither parents nor firesides to cheer them. I have called upon you to respectfully and earnestly request 10 cents of your capital and a few minutes of your time. Should you be so considerate as to ald me on my errand, please observe closely the following directions’ Write your name and address and the num- ber of the messenger on a slip of paper and in- close & with 10 cents to Jerome Hamiltoa, 48 Thirteenth street, San Francisco, Cal. Then inclose me in another envelope, Write your name across the left front end, and address this envelope to some friend whom you think { Will be interested in my errand. I am traveling on a well regulated schedule and am allowed only twelve hours with you for every dime I collect. Should you delay me longer than that, please compensate me for the loss of time. Do not block nor permanent- Iy halt me, as that would mean a direct loss of $30 to the fund. I was on time when I ar- rived here to-day. Should you not care to contribute to this project, efther send me onward to a friend or mail me back to the person whose name ap- | pears on the end of the envelope, My run will be finished on August 31, 1903. The person in whose possession I am on that date will kindly inclose me in an envelope and send me home again. [N. B.—Information will be furnished upon application regarding the progress of the fund. Always inclose stamp. Upon seeing one of the messenger-boy cards on Thursday Miss Mabel Adams Ayer, president of the California branch, immediately telegraphed to New York as follows: SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24. Mrs. Westover Alden, 96 Fifth avenue, New York: Have you authorized man to collect money by circular letter for buflding sunshine home here?, BEL ADAMS AYER. Yesterday she received the following from the national president: NEW YORK, ‘Sept. 25, 1902 Miss Mabel Adams Ayer, 1622 Clay street, San Francisco.—No, indeed. Everything in California is under your immediate supervision. MRS. CYNTHIA WESTOVER ALDEN. Miss Ayer said last night: I want to warn any one from giving or send- ing money to any one purporting to be coilect- ing for the International Sunshine Society. We will not accept money from this Mr. Jerome Hamilton, and any money he may coilect is collected wholly without the sanction or ap- proval of any of the officers of this dociety. The many poor people who would willingly give the 10 cents asked I am not willing to see lose thelr hard-earned money. Any one sending money to this man does so at his or her own risk. The man is a fraud and has no authority or right to solicit money, using the name of the International Sunshine Socfety. The soclety never gets its assistance by sollcit- ing, and every member knows that the so- clety very strongly objects to the raising of money in this manner. This man is not a member of the State sg- clety and Mrs. Alden, the president general, has never mentioned his name to me. DENOUNCES HAMILTON. Everything done in California for this so- clety is under my immediate supervision, as Mrs, Alden states in her answering telegram. No one has any right to use the name of the International Society in California without my sanction. Hamilton has no authority = from New York; where does he get it? This oity is not in need of any Sunshine Home for poor children. We have two homes here in the city, ably looked after by the various societies and’ charitable organizations—one the infante' Shelter at 512 Minna etreeet, the other the Nursery for Homeless Children at Eleventh and Mission streets. Hamilton, when seen last night at his room, tried to convey the impression that he was doing some great charitable act. He ‘was not a member of the soclety, he said, but had communicated with the president general two or three times and deemed himself a member. “I have sent Mrs. Alden in New York ten copies of the card and have no doubt ehe will sanction its use,” he sald. In answer to a question as to where he eot the idea of raising money by means of the cards he said: “I am the sole originator of the scheme and bear all the expense myself. Nq one authorized me to do this, but as I am a member I take the responsibility. Oh, they needn’t be afraid but that I'll turn it all over. I can fix that all right and can produce letters showing my right to collect this money.” The letters were not produced, however. The officers of the society’s local branch say that If Hamilton doesn't desist col- lecting money in the name of the mother society they will prosecute him. The California branch of the Interna- tional Sunshine Society is composed of twenty-four active working clubs of 600 members. The Alden Club, as the San Francisco branch is known, is a women’s one and is composed of some thirty young iadies of this city. It has on its advisory voard some of San Francisco’s most prominent women. They argue that money might be extorted in a seemingly honest fashion and yet never be used for the purpose for which it is ostensibly col- lected. P PO EXPOSING TWO BEGGARS. The Associated Charities of San Fran- cigco, an organization formed for the amelioration of the condition of the poor, has requested the publication of the fol- lowing letter as a warning to the public against two professional beggars: City Editor, Call—My Dear Sir: The soclated Charities desircs to warn the public | against two professional beggars Who ace REPEATS STORY | FRANK MURPHY OF THE MURDER Henderson Again Recites Tale of Slaying of Robinson. State Closes Cass Against Kauffman. Alias St. Loui; Fat. ‘The prosecution of the case of Willlam Kauffman, allas “‘St. Louls Fat,” charged with the murder of Policeman Robinson, was closed in Judge Cook’s court yester- day and this morning the defense will open. Attorney Schooler, counsel for the defendant, Kauffman, announced at the close of the session yesterday afternoon that it would not take him more than one hour to put in all of his evidence. Schooler stated that he could finish his | argument in three hours at the outside, and, as Assistant District Attorney Al- vord stated that the prosecution would not take up half that time, Judge Cook said he would charge the jury and sub- mit the case Saturday noon. Most of yesterday’'s scssion was taken up by the recital of the confession of Wil- liam Henderson, by which the State hopes to convict Kauffman, along with the rest of his assoclates In the cruel crime en- acted in the Missicn on tho night of Jan- uary 2., Henderson did not omit a single detail of the gang’s movements on that fatal night, but he did not recite his confes- slon with the same boldness he exhibited when he first took the stand to testify against Frank Woods, who has already been convicted. Henderson began. yesterday morning where he left off the day before. He told of the members of the gang leaving their den at 203 Turk street and of their go- ing out to the Cypress Lawn Cemetery with the intention of blowing open the safe. Continuing, he said: Kauftman, Kennedy and myself went out first and we were down there about twenty minutes before Woods, Goucher and Courtney, allas Leadville Jimmy, arrived. Kauffman and myself stayed back while the others went up to the cemetery building to see if the coast was clear. We intended to blow open the safe and had the tools and dynamite to do it with. Kauffman and myself were to do the job. When the rest of the gang got back they told us that there was a man inside the offlce armed with a rile and we gave up the idea of making an attempt to blow open the safe and started back Into town. We all rode together until we got into ths city and then when we left the car and start- ed down Valencia street Kauffman, Woods and myself walked about a block and a half ahead of the others. Kauffman was on the inside and I walked on the outside. Kauffman was not armed, but the rest of us were. While we were walking down Valencia street, be- tween Sixteenth and Seventeenth, we heard a shot. Kennedy came running up to us and pass- ing on jumped over a fence. Goucher was right behind him and when he caught up to us_Goucher said: *I am not going to run.” We kept walking fast and then suddenly a man whom I have since learned was Robinson came running up to us. We turned around and when he was about six feet away he said: ““Who has that gun?’ At that time Kauffman was standing near the side of the buildings. He remained there and did not change his position. Woods and Goucher closed in on Robinson and commenced shooting. I saw the flashes of their revolvers and then started to run down toward Sixteenth street. That s the last I saw of Kauffman until I met him here in the Hall of Justice. Attorney Schooler objected to much of Henderson's testimony, because it did not, as_he clailmed, implicate his client in the actual murder of Robinson, because it was already in evidence that Kauffman was not armed. Upon cross-examination Schooler elicited the fact from Henderson that Kauffman during. the shooting did not say any words of encouragement to his companions during the fusillade which ended in the death of Robinson. Howard Carr, an expert gunsmith, who resides at 529 Taylor street, was called to the stand after Henderson had concluded his confession. Carr identified the bullets taken from the body of Robinson as hav- ing been fired from a revolver of the same size and caliber used by Woods in the murder of Robinson. Carr also iden- tified the bullets taken from Woods’ body upon his arrest as having been fired from a 388-caliber revolver, which was the size of Policeman Robinson’s weapon. The case will go on again this morning. Lundstrum’s Union Hats. Best made, $2 50 and $3 50. Own make.

One 1s an old case, that of a “‘Mrs, Mogan,” who has been for several years telling the same tale, and has lately come to the surface again with her harrowing story of poverty and ““threo pairs of twins.”” Sometimes there is a sick husband also, and again she passes as a widow—but the three pairs of twins are peren- nlal. The addresses she gives have been looked up by the Assoclated Charities again and again, but invariably prove to be false. The woman should not be given assistance. The other case ig that of & boy giving some- times the name of Fred Dupres, and the ad- dress of a men's lodging-house in Mission street.

Polics Claim His Identity Is Established as the Criminal. ‘When Judge Cabaniss bound over to the Superior Court Frank M. Murphy and Samuel M. Evans last Friday morning on the charge of burglary, he bullded :tter than he knew. The evidence ainst the two men was not conclusive ! and their booty was worthless, but their | Incarceration has led to the identifica- tlon of Murphy as the man who is wanted by the Federal authoritles at Los An- geies on a charge of having cashed four | Canadian money orders amounting to $400, which, it is charged, he had stolen and to which, it is alleged, he forged the name of John A. McFee, the real owner. This crime was committed on July 21, but news of it was carefully suppressed by the postal officials. Its exclusive pub- lication in The Call Wednesday morning coupled with the news of Murphy’s ac- rest gy this city for burglary put the lo- ¢al detective department on the trail which eventually led to the belief that Murphy is the man who committed the offense in Los Angeles. On July 21, it is alleged, Murphy pre- sented four Canadian money orders at the Los Angeles postoffice. His identifica- tion as McFee was made by his wife, an acquaintance of Miss Mabel Skof- stad, the postal clerk who made the pay- ment. Two weeks ago McFee inquired at the postoffice about the money orders, which had failed to reach him. An in- spection of the orders, which were re- turned from the Postoffice Department at Washington, showed that they had been pdld, and Miss Skofstad recalied the cir- cumstances under which she made the payment. .She had known Mrs. Murphy before her marriage, but she did not know her husband, hence the error in payment to the alleged forger, who was intreduced as McFee. MARRIES YOUNG GIRL. Murphy, it is alleged, formed the ac- quaintance of a young girl of nineteen, who, despite the protests of her parents, married him. Out of sympathy for the daughter Murphy was taken into the girl’s home, but, it is alleged, he soon began abusing his young wife and was ordered away. His wife went with him and it was not long afterward that the couple fled with the proceeds of the al- leged money orders swindle, The greatest mystery connected with the transaction is as to how, as charged, Murphy came into possession of the money orders. - McFee's mail all comes addressed to 225 West First street and the letter containing the orders was so addressed. As Murphy s never known to have stopped at the place the only ::zo?; :a tl}’x‘nt Ihe Wwalked into the house ole the let: Bls B ths bl ter from the public ta- The crime for which Murph and were arrested in this clty?va’s’ a bu:'?;:g; committed in the room of Mrs. Annie Rankin at 906 Market street on the night of September 18. Policeman Hayden was summoned and when he appeared Evans erdeavored to escape. He was captured on Ellis street by Detective George Mc- Mahon after a struggle. When the prison- ers were searched at the City Prison a quantity of female apparel and toilet articles were found on Evans and Mur- phy had in his possession a clock which Mrs. Rankin and her mother identified as having been taken from the room. REFUSES TO DISCUSS CRIME. An attempt was made last night to in- terview Murphy at the County Jail, but he positively refused to deny or affirm that he was the man wanted in connec- tion with the Los Angeles postal frauds. Last night Detective Tom Gibson suc- ceeded in locating Murphy's wife at a Jodging-house at 308 Sutter street and took her to the City Prison, where her name was placed on the detinue book. Later she was visited by Postoffice In- spector James O'Connell, who was closet- ed with her for several hours. The woman admitted to him that she had identified her husband as McFee, the owner of the money orders, but claims the identification was made partly under duress and partly in good faith. She said her husband had represented to her that the sender of the money orders had made a.mistake and given his own name in- stead of the payee and that the money was some that had been owed to Murphy for a long time. Murphy and his wife have been in San Francisco about a month. At first they stopped at the Golden West Hotel and spent money freely. When the funds be- gan to run low they moved to lodgings on Filbert street. Later they were domiciled on Sutter street and subsequently moved to. lodgings on Howard street, where they were living when Murphy was arrested on the burglary charge. Murphy was at one time a soldier in the Philippines. He was committed to the military prison at Alcatraz for some of- fense and made his escape about a year and a half ago, eluding a storm of bul- lets from the rifles of the guards. His daring escape created a sensation at the time and the military authoritles never succeeded in recapturing him. He claims to have come from New York and the Federal authorities say he was in serfous trouble there before he came ‘West. In Kansas he is sald to have gone under an alias, but it is belleved that the name of Murphy is his right one. His wife, who is decidedly pretty and in- teresting, says she would be glad to get rid of him and return to her parents in Los Angeles, who are said to be well to do. s H. Isaac Jones, M.
