The daughter, Miss Ethel Jeromc, was named executor of the will and the principal legatee, with instructions Lo share with her cight-year-old. brother the proceedings of the life insurance policy.

The old home she proposed to abandon to the mortgagee as not worth troubling over. But all of the child's| castles were soon shattered by the cruel | reports thas her father's friend, Whitney, Lad deceived her and left her penniless. FAILS TO MAKE SETTLEMENT. In making the final settlement of the estate in July last it devolved upon Whit- ney, as attorrey to collect the $4000 in- surance. He a and, it is now claimed, instead of turning over the money to Miss Jerome, presented to her what purported to be a certificate of deposit for the amount in a local bank. Miss Jerome, it is sald, accepted the paper in good faith and subsequently tried to pay a deposit on the flat that she had planned to buy by tendering the document to a real es- tate agent. 'The paper, it is now alleged, turned out to be merely a promissory note signed by Whitney for the full amount of the insuranfe collected.

Physician Regains Health and Declares He Has No Charges to Lodge. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 26. Chemical analysis. of the candy which | caused the poisoning of Dr. Manley M. | Eros and the slight illness of his atiend- | ant, Miss Margaret Cooper, discloses th fact that arsenious acid, scientific nams for arsenic, was placed in the chocolate | creams which Rowe has had under ex-| amination. In one plece of candy Rowe Hodgkins, he found seven grains of the poison and in -each of two other piec approximately the same amount. { That report settles all doubt that the! candy had been tampered with, but it | does nothing more, €0 far as the appar- ent mystery of the presence of the sweets in Dr. Enos’ laboratory is con- cerned. The physician has fully recov- | ered from his illness, which has beei attributed to his partaking of the poi- soned confection, and he was about his ! offices in the Abrahamson Block to-day ag chipper as a lark. The doctor showed no trace of the severe illness through which he had passed, according to the reports which came from the sick room. | In fact when he decided to admit out- | siders. into his presence there was much | surprise manifested by many of his call—! ers at his manifest rapid recuperation. | | | | i i Dr. Enos has ne charges to make against any one and this afternoon de- | clared that he was firmly of the opinion that the drugged candy had not been intended for him. He protested that the arrest of his former apothecary’s assist- | ant, T. L. Christianson, was a grievous | mistake. Enos and the young man had | a talk to-day and yeunited their bonds of friendship. Dr./Enos was indignant | that the names of any of his feminine | friends or acquaintances should have | Leen coupled with the mystery. Enos said: I don't know who put that candy in the drug room where it found, and I don't know Why it was put there. There was not a | breath of suspicion directed against young Christianson by me, hor do I suspect any wom- an, let alone thosé of my fricnds who have beén so considerate to Me during my iliness. The candy was found in the most acclderital manner possible, and it stands to reason that if any one wanted to poison me the stuff would not have been hidden in the out of the way place where Miss Coopcr and myself' ac- cidentally came upon it.

Sty ERKELEY, Nov. 26.—On Sunday morning last there wa% ushered into the presence of his High- ness Maha Vajiravudh, Crown Prince of Siam, in San Francisco a wizened, toil-bent youth of the Crown Pringe’s country, who threw himself at the feet of his future sovereign and poured forth a tale with a flavor of the ‘“Arabian Nights.” The little man’s name is Tong Kom, and he told the young Prince the story of his search after knowledge, which had made him a wanderer. At the end the quiet looking young man, who' will some day be ruler, #aised his subject and told him that he was much interested in the narrative. The youth didn’t carry away a check big enough to make him happy ever after- ward, but: from what the Prince told him he felt sure that if he acquired knowl- edge he would get some sort of a Govern- the Prince became Kirg and deait out the patronage him- self. Almost two years ago Tong Kom, then only 18 years of age, asked his father to send him to England to gain an education. The parent, then Mayor of Petchabouree, an. inland city of Siam, not far from Bangkok, refused to comply with his son’s request and the determined boy de- cided to start out unaided in the quest for knowledge. He slipped away from his native place and went to the capital city, where he took passage as an able seaman on a Norweigan bark bound for Liverpool. Aft- er a long voyage, the youth landed at the English seaport with $40. On his first day’'s shore leave the would-be scholar, knowing not a word of Eunglish, fell in with a gang of thieves in the purlieus of the city, was beater, robbed of every farthing and carried to the outskirts of the city. Not knowing how to ask for aid the outcast gained em- ployment with a truck gardener and thus lived for some time.
