Coroner Leland's deputies say that the pound package was the only one found on Kearney's body. Whether the other twenty-four small tins of wire were removed gom the re- mains by some of the pafes who dis- ’(wr\"r?d the body or that they fell out of the pockets of the dead man while he was being tossed about on the bottom of the bay is only a matter of conjecture, b remaining package, together with but the the remarks made by Kearney when the tarkeeper invited him to breakfast clear- ly A8stablishes the identity of the man who visited the electrical store early on the morning of January 23. Why Kearney should have committed suicide, no one who knew him will or can explain, except one friend, who claims that he was despondent over the treatment lately accorded him by his lady | friend residing on Powell street. This friend believes that on the night preced- ing his suicide, after leaving the saloon, | Kearney was given to understand by the young woman that their friendly rela- | tions must cease and that her edict in- creased his despondency and his deter- mination to end his life. It is a well supported theory that Kearney's purpose on boar@ing the ferry-boat Berkeley was to jump from its deck while it was mak- | ing the trip to Oakland, but meeting a friend, his courage failed him. It was to this friend that Kearney said he was on his way to Boole's shipyard in Alameda, but the fact has been long established that he never journeyed that far from-the Oakland mole. After the Berkeley's pas- sengers had taken their trains Kearney is supposed to have again boarded the Berkeley and finally carried out his rash act by plunging into the bay as the boat was nearing its berth. That the suicide theory is not a pleas- ing one to the relatives of Kearney may be explained in the discovery made yes- terday that he had an’ accident policy on his life for $5000 issued to Mim by an agent named Toy. The policy would have expired about the middle of Febru- ary, three weeks after Kearney commit- ted suicide. Toy was an intimate friend f Kearney and was intrusted with the visibly affected and he feebly admitted that he knew of such a person. He also knew that the woman had seen the hat, but could not say that she was positive in her identification. When asked to give the name he first protested by say- ing that he did not know it, and then contradicted himself by stating he would not give it as there was no necessity for “dragging her” into the case. “It wouldn't do you much good to know her name,” he sald, “for I doubt if you would find her in the city now.” As the evening progressed Thelen was again Interviewed, and this time denied everything. He said that he knew of no such woman; had not brought the hat to her and went so far as to profess ig- norance concerning Kearney's movements on the day of his. disappearance and the taking of the wire from the store. Thelen, in his first interview, told of his efforts in locating the whereabouts of Kearney on the night preceding his death. He said that he had inquired of people all over town and that no one could give him any information. “He was not with the woman,” Thelen went on to say, “I know that.

After he had scanned the hand- writing, which he did without a tremor, | he had nothing to say. | "I refuse to state whether or not my wife wrote those letters,” he sald. ““There will be an inquest soon and when called | upon to testify I.will tell all T know.” |~ The conduct of Coroner Leland in the case has caused considerable comment among the friends of Kearney, several of whom have not hesitated to charge that Dr. Leland is concealing certain facts in relation to the cause of death in “order to insure the payment of the acci- dent policy. But for the general interest shown in the case during the past few ! days it might have been possible to termi- nate the inquest with a favorable verdict, but the latest developments have pre- vented any such turn in the strange af- fair. . - 2 | | for the hig sign ““‘Brown Bros. & Go.’’ over the doo.
