At the Occidental he was regis- tered as “James R. Van Rensselaer” of New York and at the Palace the | name which he inscribed on the reg- | ister was James B. Hall. As “Van Rensselaer” he made his appearance at the Occidental some time ago and soon confided to the | clerks, one of whom he readily recog- | nized as an old school chum in ‘he East, that he was a member of the old New York family of Van Renssel- aer. His reason for being on the coast, he explained to the hotel people and other he met, was that his father a former prominent architect of New York, who had received the contiact ! for the structural work on the new Fairmont Hotel, had died and he had been compelled to come to San Fran- cisco to take charge of the plans. HANDS OVER CHECKS. | Later he rogistered at the Palace un- der the name of Hall, but about the court and the bar of the hotel he in- troduced himself as “Van Rensselaer, telling the same story that he d passed over the counter at the Ocei- | dental. Sevcral nights ago Hall carc- lessly handed to the clerk of the Occi- dental, whom he had claimed as an old school chum, a check for $25, drawn on a local! bank, and it was promptly cashed. The following night he passed in a second check, this time to another clerk, and again was favored with the cash. Since then he has not been seen about the establishment and it is prob- |ably well that he has not, for the | checks have since been returned to the | bank stamped “no funds.” ! Meanwhile Hall had been getting | coin from the Palace and found it nee- essary to keep clear of that establish- ment. It was about this time that it was developed that *Van Rennsselaer” and Hall werc¢ the same person and that Hall was his right name. It was | also learned that the young man is the son of B. M. B. Hall, president of the Perth-Amboy Terra Cotta Company of | New York C and that he had been sent out here by his father to look after a contract which that firm has for supplying the terra cotta decorative work on the Fairmount Hotel. HALL. CANNOT BE FOUND. ‘Where young Hall is now making his abode is a matter that the police expect | | to determine to-day. | Three days ago a story was published | to the effect that a young man by the mame of “Van R selaer’” had de- | camped from a flat in the Western A dition with » number of pieces of silk and lace belonging to his landlady. The same * evening the supposed ‘“Van lensselaer” at the Occidental tele- phoned to the papers explaining chat | he was a guest at that hotel and that the publication was very annoying to him in that a confasion of names might lead some to think he was the person { who had disappeared. It was the fol- that the Occidental guest { lowing day also disappeared and since then he has kept his whereabouts a secret. i o T Buyers of Christmag Presents Should visit Andrews' Diamond Palace, 221 Montgomery street. under Russ | House, and sec the large stock of dia- monds, watches and jewelry at lowest | prices.

At one time he was men- tioned for the nomination for Superin- tendent of Streets. By profession Wynne was a chemist and pharmaeist and conducted a drug at the corner of Folsom and Twenty-second streets, where he had a lucrative business. His geniality and excellent character won far him a large acquaintanceship of friends and med- ical men, by whom he was held in high repute. ‘Wynne was prominent in several fra- ternal and social organizations, among which were: Precita Parlor, Native Sons, Woodmen of the World, American Foresters, the National Union and the California Cycling Club, in slmost all of which he at one time held the office of president.

Half an hour later Mrs. Brown and her son went to the door and were upable to elicit any response to re peated knockings. The door wa broken open and Brown was found lying nude on the floor. A gas jet on a wall bracket was fully turned on and the room was full of gas. Dr. Millar was summpned and upon ex- amination found that death had en-| sued.
