They con- vinced the police that the men who in- Auced the young women to come to Cali- fornia had planned to make thieves or worse of their youthful companions as soon as they should be settled. It was on February 9 that the girls left {their homes in the Illinois metropolis. They were neighbors and had long been companions. On the night in question the Miller girl, with some money, joined Miss Ziegler, her jumior by a year, and the couple journeyed by street car and train to South Chicago, where they met an- other girl acquaintance. During that visit they fell in with Donate Larotond and Frank Billy, the Italians with sev- eral aliases, who a pair of attractive victims. | COUNTRY OF GOLD. | *“While the men were talking with us,” said the Miller girl, “they spoke of go- ing to California, and pralsed the country as the greatest place in the world. They said it was a country of gold, where there was lots of money. And we were told that we should have fine clothes and a good time and all of the money we could spend. We were to be married af- ter we got to California.” The giris were so dazzled by the storivs |that they remained with their 'ac-| quaintances, hid in Chicago, until Feb- | ruary 15 when the quartet started for | California.

Frank Turata, known as the Japanese watch thief, was convicted by Police Judge Mogan yesterday on a charge of petty larceny and will get six months this morning. He was employed as a bellboy at the Hotel Crocker, 915 Leavenworth street, and was arrested for stealing two watches from rooms of guests. About a year ago he was arrested for stealing three watches and was held to answer by Judge Mogan, but was acquitted in the Superior Court.

Writer Says Vitriol Will Be Thrown and Police Are Notifled. A letter threatening a most terrible vengeance was recejved yesterday after- noon by Miss Virginia Drew Trescott, the popular leading lady at the Theater Re- public, from an unknown woman whd signs herself Jane Piper Jones, and as & result the actress is on the verge of nervous prostration and the police are actively engaged in endeavoring to find the sender. Vitriol is to be the agent used writer says she will use. Miss Trescott, in her usual happy frame of mind, called at the theater yesterday afternoon for her mail. Among the sev- eral letters addressed to her she was at- tracted by one which bore a superscrip- tion in a strange hand. She opened the envelope and read the contents. She knows no one by the name signed to the letter and fs at a loss to understand what caused the strange desire for revenge on the part of the writer. The management of the Theater Repub- lic became apprised of the fact and com- | municated with the Police Department at the Hall of Justice last evening. The let- ter was also turned over to the authorities and several detectives are on the case. The letter is as follows and is in a feminine hand: ; ] N FRANCISCO, March 3, 19¢ Virgil Drew Trescot!

I doubt if there is 4 woman in this world that could play that character as you do, for it is your character off the stage, and you will not succeed, that I am sure of,"and all I wish you is that you will starve fo death and that the ‘vitural" that T will surely throw at you will so dis- figure you that you wiil not know yourself. ‘Wishing you all the bad luck, 1 am yours, (Signed) JANE PIPER JONES. Police Commissioners Meet. Officer John J. Crowley, who used his fists on Joseph Kearney, a waiter, who was assaulting him, was reprimanded by Police Commissioners last evening. Kearney, with a companion, had been following a young woman and insulting her, when both were arrested. The prisoners gave battle to the officer and one of them made his escape. Kear- ney continued the fight and was struck in the face. Officer Bennett, who was charged with unofficerlike conduct, will be brought to trial at the next meeting. Fred Oster, a patrol wagon driver, who went to sleep on a bench in the North End station, was suspended from duty for one week. Twenty-two inspectors of the United Railway Company applied for spe- cial policemen’s stars. After a short dis- cussion the matter was put over for one week to give the Commissioners an op- | portunity to investigate. ADVERTISEMENTS.

RETURNS FROM LEGAL GRAVE Dwight M. McCauley Learns That Law De- | clared Him Dead. 4 Returning to his native heath after wandering over the world for eighteen | years to find that all his relatives had | died and to be apprised of the startling d | | affairs that confronted Dwight Mark Mc- | Cauley upon his advent into San Fran-| cisco a few days ago, and the story occa- | sioned something of a sensation in Judge | Caffey’s department of the Superior Court vesterday morning. Dame Fortune sfms | to have been cruel in more ways than one to Mr. McCauley, for during his ab- sence, in addition te the legal announce- | several thousand dollars to which he had | fallen heir hsX been distributed. The 'principa} figure in this tale that | would furnish good material for a drama- tist or writer of fiction is a son of Wil- liam A. McCauley, deceased, at one time a prominent resident of this city. Several years after the death of the young man's | mother his father took unto himself a second wife, marrying Miss Jennie C. Gallard. LEAVES HIS HOME. Not receiving that affection from his | stepmother that his nature craved. the young man left home and: struck out for himself. He kept his whereabouts a se- cret and did not correspond with his folks. For several years he served on the frontier of Arizona as a cowboy, and then drifted to Mexico, where he engaged in mining. He also served as a soldler in New Mexico. Anxious to again return to the scenes of his boyhood days, McCauley came to this city, only to learn of the death of his father and stepmother and that the courts had declared him dead. An ex- amination of the records at the City Hall disclosed the information that his father's will, which was filed for probate July 7, 1898, provided that the widow should re- ceive three-fourths of the estate and the | son the remainder. According to Walter G. Bonta, who was the attorney for Mrs. McCauley, the es- tate consisted of about $600 in land and a life insurance policy for $5000, and Mrs. McCauley had separate property.at the time valued at $80,000. The policy pro- vided that the son should receive $2500 and the widow the remainder. Some time after the probate of the will Mrs. Mc- Cauley applied to Judge Coffey to have the son declared dead, inasmuch as he had not been heard of for over seven years, and on that/Showing the request | was granted, and subsequently the entire estate was ordered distributed to Mrs. McCauley as the sole heir. SEEKS COURT’S ADVICE. About two years after the death of her husband Mrs. McCauley died. She left a will bequeathing various sums to distant relatives, friends and to many public and charitable institutions. A bequest of $2500 was made to Dwight McCauley, and in the event that he did not appear in six months the money was to go to the Park Ccmmission with the residue of the es- tate, amounting to about $0,000, with which a memorial arch was to be erected at the Haight-street entrance to the park in memory of her husband. The bequest has never been used owing to the fact that the Commissioners claim that the amount Is inadequate for the purpose in. tended. McCauley appeared before Judge Coffey | yesterday and told his story. He asked that he be resurrected to legal life, and Judge Coffey advised him what steps to take. A contest will no doubt bring out the entire story before the courts. AGED REPORTER TAKES LIFE WHILE DESPONDENT Edward G. Wade Finds It Impossible to Live Under Continued Adversity.
