Against the theory of suicide are the stories of the family and friends of | the dead girl that she was always in the | sake her existence on earth. Flora’'s closest girl friend was Miss | Aggle Quadt, who resides at 28 Thir- | téenth street, and keeps books in her father's " wall-paper store In the St.| Nicholas building. They were together frequently and Miss Quadt saw Flora on the Thursday night preceding her death. The first named says she never saw Flora in any but a happy mood and that the thought of suicide was one absolutely at variance with Miss Elberling’s disposl- tion. Miss Quadt said: Flora and I were always good friends and went out together frequently. I never knew her to hafe an enemy. She seemed always a hearty, happy girl and never complainea about anything. I can't belleve ghe com- mitted suicide. ’ I saw her last on the Thursday night before her death. Bhe was as jolly as usual then. I never in my life heard her say anything about wanting to die, She and Mr. Sanderson always geemed to be happy together and never had any quarrel that I know of. Walter Sanderson, who kept company with Miss Elberling, was at his usual post yesterday at Russell's shoe store, 510 Market street. He said: NO EMPTY BOTTLE FOUND. I was full of trouble yesterday and perhaps seemed unwilling to talk, but there is nothing at all that I want to conceal, - There is little to tell. 1 know of no reason why Miss El- berling should have wanted to kil herself, As to Sunday night, I have told the entire truth. We went to_the Cosmos restaurant and then direct to Fischer's. We met and talked to only one person, Oscar Johnson, who i my best friend. After the theater he walked two blocks up O'Farrell street with us and then left us. We took the electric car that goes down Leavenworth and Tenth streets and went on out Howard street. We did not visit any place after leaving the theater. Oscar Johnson resides at 3 Geary place and works for a wholesale millinery firm. He corroborated Sanderson’s statement, saying: Walter told me he was going to Fischer's and I met him at that place when the per- formarce began and also saw him when it was out. I walked two blocks up O'Farrell street with him and Miss Slberiing and then turned up toward my room. Walter and Miss Elberling always seemed on the best of terms und I know of no reason why she should have sought to kill herself. After all has been said there still re- mains to create mystery the statement of the family that no bottle that! could have contalned the fatal draught swal- lowed by Flora was found in the house, though diligent search was made. The minimum fatal dose of oil of tansy is placed by the United States dispensa- tory at one dram, about a teaspoonful. Cases have been known where an ounce, about’ one tablespoonful, has been- swal- lowed and the life of the person swallow- ing it saved. Japanese Interpreter Appointed. The Board of Suprevisors, having ap- soropriated $100 per month for a Japanese interpreter in the criminal courts, the four Police Judges met yesterday morning and appointed Charles H. Geffeny to fill the position. Geffeny has.for four years given his. services gratuitously in the Po- lice Courts and the Judges came to the conclusion that it was only just and right he should be rewarded. The appointment was absolutely necessary, owing to the influx of Japanese. Geffeny is thoroughly competent and received the congratula- tions of his friends. —_——————— Guittard Wants Accounting.

DIMMICK AGAIN BEFORE A JURY Attorney Woodworth Outlines Case for Prosecution. W. K. Cole, Cashier of Mint, Is the Principal Witness. For the third time Walter N. Dimmick, formerly chief clerk in the United States | Mint, is facing a jury on the charge of stealing $30,000 from the vaults of the Mint. The jury panel was complefed yes- terday morning when W. H. Hammond and E. H. Blake were accepted as jury- | men and Attorney Woodworth made his opening statement to the jury. From the raanner in which the United States Dis- trict Attorney outlined the evidence which wiil be produced against Dimmick and the thoroughness with which the wit- nesscs were examined It is evident that a strenuous effort will be made to convict the defendant. During the opening state- ment, and while the witnesscs were be- ing examined, Dimmick, who sat next to his attorney, displayed no uneasiness. Attorney Woodworth's remarks were very elaborate. He commenced with the appointment of Dimmick as cashler in September, 188, and.gave a complete ac- count of all relevant transactions which occurred until the shortage was discov- ered and Dimmick arrested on suspicion. He dwelt at length on the changing of the combinatioh on the door of the vault at the time that W. K. Cole was ap- pointed cashier and Dimmick was made chief clerk. He called attention to the fact that Dimmick assisted Cole jo ar- ranging a new combination and was therefore familiar with it. The United States District stated that the watchman of would testify that he to the Mint on holidays, Sundays and at night and that one night previous to the | discovery of the theft Dimmick was seen to emerge from the cashier's office and | rush into the Superintendent's office | Attorney the Mint carying two bags of coin and acting as if | he wished to conceal them. Subsequentl he was seen coming out of the Sup tendent’s office carrying a dress suit ca which appeared to be heav seen later on an Oakland boat, still car- rying the dress suit case, and seemed worried and his face was pale. As sdon as Woodworth concluded his statement the examination of witnesses was begun. Dunne, who is assisting the prosecution, all witnesses excepting Superintendent Leach were excluded from the court- room. Leach was allowed to remain as a representative of the Government. K. Cole was the principal witness exam- ined. combination, in and as to the was missing. was the only knew the combination of the vault from which the coin was taken.
