THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, GCTOBER 16, 1902 JURY'S VERDICT afY3 SUICIDE Declares Mrs. Wigger to Have Died by Her Own Hand, Woman's Husband, a Chem- ist and Mrs. Herbst the Chief Witnesses. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SAN MATEO, Oct. 15.—The inquest to- day on the death of Mrs. Maud Wigger, whose mysterious poisoning proved a seven days’ wonder here, resulted in a ~erdict of suicide. The taking of testi- mony began at 3 o'clock and ended at §:30 o'clock. The jury returned its ver- dict after short deliberation. The evidence on which the jury based its verdict was meager. The husband, Henry Wigger, testified that! he thought his late wife once tried to hang berself. A sister, Mrs. Alice Weston, testified that eight years ago on one oc- casion the sister now deceased told her that she had taken “rough on rats.” Both sald that at times Mrs. Wigger was despondent. Wigger testified that a friend of his, Mrs. Frank Miller of San Francisco, had found a package of strychnine in the house, after the Sheriff &nd Coroner had made their search. Mrs. Miller, who it was alleged found the poison, was at the inquest, but she was not called upon to testify. Not a guestion was asked to develop informa- tion as to the form of the package or evidence of its having been partially used. Nothing has been learned as to where the poison was procured. The Coroner, the District Attorney and the jury accepted the statement that Mrs. Miller found the package in a lower bureau drawer, although Wigger testified that the Sheriff and the Coroner had searched the house and found nothing. The Sheriff was not called to tell of his search of the Wigger house, and Coroner Crowe did not testify regarding his quest for clews. THE HUSBAND TESTIFIES. District Attorney Bullock conducted the | examination of witnesses. Henry Wig- ger was called first. He said his wife had been despondent ‘“once in a great while,” and that once ‘“‘she must have tried to commit suicide.”” He said that Mrs. Miller had found several pack- ages in a lower bureau drawer in his house, and one of these, when tested by Frank Baskette, a chemist, had proved to be strychnine. Her search was made after the search conducted by the Cor- oner and Sheriff. He thought the pack- emist Friday. Mrs. Wigger's death oc- d the previous Monday. rs. Grace M.

Cattle “Rustler” Miller Will Trouble the Palouse No More. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. WALLA WALLA, Wash, Oct. 15— While a Sheriff's posse sufrounded the dwelling where he was concealed, and waited for him to dress and appear, ac- cording to agreement, A. C. Miller, a no- torious Washington cattle “rustler,” blew his brains out early this morning near Pomeroy, Garfield County, forty miles| northeast of here. Miller was an ex-convict, having served five years in the Washington State peni- tentiary for “rustling” in the Palouse in the early nineties. Late in September of this year he took eleven steers from John Scribley’s ranch on Snake River, north of Pomeroy, drove them into a Columbla County pasture and sold them to David Barclay of Dayton for $i50, money and collateral. Scribley traced his stock, re- covered it and started a hunt for the thief, who had fled acros the Idaho bor- der. Samuel Gholson, a Dayton resident, recognized the fugitive at the Lewiston State fair this week and officers followed his trail toward Pomeroy. Early this morning Miller was tracked to his son-in-law’s dwelling in Garfield County. A posse member asked for him at the door and was informed that Miller was in bed and would be out as soon as he dressed. A pistol shot followed and when the posse rushed in their man was dead. { | STUDENTS OF STANFORD i { IN A SPANISH PLAY| “Calderon Contra Ramsey” Is Pre- | sented by University Talent in Roble Hall. | STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. 15.— | The first attempt of the students of Stanford University to give a Spanish play was the presentation of the bur- lesque, “Calderon Contra Ramsey,” in| | Roble Hall to-night.

He presses his suit ac cording to the ideas of Professor Ram- | sey, a versatile Stanford instructor, and | n the end he carrles off the prize. A | | duel with Lorenzo follows. Lorenzo is killed by Jones, who wields Professor Ramsey's Spanish dictionary over his ad- versary’s head. Clarita, won in the Cuel, is brought back to add to the tri- tmphs of the class of '04.

Season’s Fires Cause Heavy Losses in Southern ~ California. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. PASADENA, Oct. 15.—The recent cut cf the appropriation for the maintenance of the forest reserve of the United States from $500,000 to $300,000 has caused con- sternation among those interested par- ticularly in the watersheds of this re- gion. The San Gabriel Valley is left al- most unprotected. The force of rangers has been reduced, now numbering thir- teen men as against forty a year ago. Many of those who have been brought to realize the importance of keeping the clothing of verdure on the mountains in order to maintain the streams that water he valleys are wondering why the forest appropriation was defeated by Congress- nmian Cannon of Illinols, a prairie State. Through this action of Congress the rich crange groves and orchards of California are left at the mercy of hunters and\yan- dals who regularly fire the wooded KC' tions in the mountains. Any one of a dozen fires that raged within sight of Pasadena in the past five years did damage amounting to more than the entire appropriations made for the protection of the reserves. The loud- est complaints are being made by the foothill farmers, who ars weary of suc- cessive droughts. ‘Winters of late have not brought more than the necessary amcunt of rainfall and welis that have given good artesian flows or yielded fair pumping streams have failed this year in many instances. The efforts of the various boards of trade of Southern California towns are being enlisted in favor of national legislation of a character that will prove adequate to the needs of the territory. The first work of the orchardists at the next ses- sion of Congress will be with a view of securing a transfer of the forest reserve interests from the jurisdiction of the De- partment of the Interior to the newly created Department of Agriculture, to which appropriations are not so grudging- 1y made. ORANGES AND LEMONS ATTACKED BY A PEST Southern California Growers Suffer Loss Through a Microbe Invasion. PASADENA, Oct. 15—A little microbe too small to be visible save with a micro- scope is causing all kinds of trouble with the lemons and oranges this year. The local Orange Growers' Association has held several lively meetings to consider a remedy, taking cognizance of the fact that this bug caused a loss of $4000 to shipments of fruit East this year after the fruit had left the packing house. It is known as lemon rot. County Horticultural Inspector C. A Day called the attention of the growers to the ravages of the disease. He pointed cut that the spores attacked the fruit before it left the packing house and de- veloped in the cars. Excessive dampness and heat facilitated its development. Day together with washing the fruit before shipment, and the only way to keep the ‘ruit clean, therefore, is to spray and United efforts will be made to spray and fumigate all the orchards of the association this year. Despite the disease of the fruit the local ssociation paid about $55,000 to growers during the season just closed, which is a better showing than that made by any ther member of the Semi-Tropic Fruit Exchange. ——————— GANG OF HOODLUMS ROBS TWO YOUNG BOYS Walter Hawthorne and Christian Siebel Are Held Up on Bran- nan and Eighth Streets. The police have received numerous com- plaints recently about a gang of young “hoodlums” who make their headquar- ters at the corner of Ninth and Bran® nan streets. Two boys, Walter Hawthorne, living at 308 Clefent street, and Christian Siebel, of 204 Utah street, both about 12 years of age, reported to Policeman F. Calla- ban Tuesday night that six of the gang had held them up at Eighth and Brannan streets while they were on thelr way home after visiting the scene of the fire at Seventh and Brannan. The young robbers held each of the boys by the arms and went through their pockets. | Hawthorne had 45 cents taken from him Hawthorne said he knew one of the boys, but he did not know where he lived, Callahan searched the neighborhood but cculd find no trace of the young high- waymen. Watchman McGreevey told Callahan that he saw the hold-up, but tlie young robbers got away before he could reach them. ——————— New Toreman of Grand Jury. The members of the Grand Jury filed irto Judge Cook's court yesterday morn- ing and on the Judge asking them what was the object of their visit, William Broderick said that he would ask to be relieved. as foreman on account of his ealth being such as to interfere with the proper performance of his duties of the office. The Judge sald that when he appointed Mr. Broderick foreman of the Grand Jury he put forward the same i i | the performance of the duties of the of- fice, but he was prevailed upon to ac- cept the appointment for the,time being. Under the circumstances, he would ac- cede to Mr. Broderick's request and would appoint T. Cary Friedlander fore. | man.

B R COPENHAGEN, Oct. 5.—The Lands- thing to-day began the discussion of the treaty providing for the cession of the Danish West Indies to the United States. Premier Dauntzer declared that in re- sponsible quarters it was now clear there ‘were two alternatives, either the cession of the islands or an increase of the al- ready heavy expenditure necessary for their maintenance and development. The sacrifices under the latter alternative would be extremely great and no one would guarantee a happy issue for the islands. If the Landsthing did not reject the cession unconditionally, the Premier de- clared, Denmark would have to prolong the period allowed for the ratification of the treaty until the matter was arranged, provided the United States desired its prolongation. The Premier also sald he had received the written promise of the United States Government that after the cession free imports from the islands into the United States would be granted. He“would not consent to the plebiscite before the ratification, but would do so after the treaty had been ratified. He emphasized the importance of an early ratification, owing to the miserable eco- nomic condition of the islands and said it was due to the United States that the Landsthing should reach a definite de- cision now. The Premier discredited the private promises to help the islands and said the prestige of the Danish Govern- ment would in no way suffer by the transfer. A number of other speeches for apd against the treaty were made and the measure then passed its first reading. Two anti-sale members were sick and the House is so closely divided that their presence or absence may affect the final vote, which will take place October 23.

The contract, which was signed by J. C. Stubbs for the Southern Pacific and General Manager George M. Rob- bins, representing the Armour people, will hold good for a term of threc years. The Southern Paeific has been_ entering into a similar contract’ with the Armour people every year, but this Is the first time that the contract has been made for a'longer period than one year. The cars will be used to ship the orange and lemon crops in the south and the green fruit in the northern pari of the State, a The orange and’lemon shipping season opens on November 1 and the Southern Pacific will use 5000 refrigerator cars in handling its~share of the business. The Santa Fe Company has 4000 refrigerator cars of its own and feels satisfled that this number will be adequate to handle that portion of the orange and lemon shipments that will fall to it. It there- fore does not renew its contract with the Armour people. In the spring and summer, when the green fruit season is in full blast, the Southern Pacific Company figures on util izing from 7000 to 9000 rerrigerator cars. The Armour Company has announce a big reduction in refrigerator car rate: to all points east of the Missouri River. It will reduce rates all the way from $7 to $1750 per car. The new deal will in all probability have no effect upon the agreement be- tween the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe, by which the two companies divide the fruit shipping business. It is under- stood that the agreement will still hold good. Despite the fact that the Interstate two railroad companies to reserve the right to route the shipments, they in- tend to do so. While none of the offi- cials of the companies will so state, it is understood that they intend to reserve the right to route all shipments: They claim that even though the Interstate Commerce Commission s they shall have no right to do this regardless of what the shippers desire in the mattgr may be, the law gives them a right te route any and all shipments made with the respective companies. This rule may meet with strenuous opposition among the shippe: Electric Car Knocks Down Horse.
