Morris, known poliucal‘ friends as “Teddy,” commited suicide | in their roms at $01 Ellis street with \ carbon-monoxide. The body was not | discovered till yesterday afternoon. Morris' mother died about a year ago, leaving a valuable estate in the | neighborhood of Geary and William ! streets. Last March he married | Theresa Sharkey, a sister of Miles A. | Sharkey, 451 Bryant street. They had | a quarrel last Thursday and Mrs. Mor- ris went to the house of a friend, Mrs. Donnelly, 613% Eddy street. She stop- ped there all night, and next day went ¢ to her brother’'s house. | On Saturday night Sharkey ques- | tioned her as to why she was staying away from her husband. After some persuasion she told him they had quarreled on Thursday and when she | returned to their rooms she found the door locked. She complained to a policeman and he advised her to break open the door. She was afraid to do that and returned to her broth- | er's house. She begged her brother to call upon her husband and en- | deavor to patch up their quarrel. §2 Yesterday afternoon Sharkey and Mrs. Morris started out on their mis- | sion of reconciliation. Sharkey went to | 801 Ellis street, and Mrs. Morris went | to her friend, Mrs. Donelly, to await developments. Sharkey found the ! | door locked and became alarmed ' | when he smelled gas. He notified the police and Corporal Eastman arrived | upon the scene and broke in the door. The dead body of Morris was discov- ered fully dressed stretched out on the | bed. There was tube in his mouth among his Discovers ‘ | | | | open gas jet. From the condition of ‘ the body death must have occurred on'} Thursday. The landlady smelled gas | | since Thursday. but thought it came | | from a defective gas stove. ‘ The Morgue W notified, but at the | | request of the distracted voung wife | | qnd her brother Chief Deputy Mec-! | Cormick allowed the body to be re- moved to an undertaker's. Morris was about 45 years of age. Shortly after his mother’s death his sister Mary sued him for $3000 for attend- ance upon their mother during her ill- | | ness, but she lost the suit. | ———— 14 | { ATTEMPT TO HOLD UP {1 VISITOR FROM BENICIA Two Men Arc Chased by Policeman, Who Fires in the Air, and One Surrenders. | John Alfasis, a fisherman from Be- nicia, reported to Policeman Bruce | early yesterday morning that while he { N)S |GRAND HAS GOOD SHOW IF YOU CAN'SEE IT ALL ““A Gentleman of France’’ Is Strong in Fifth Scene, Well Mounted and Very Prettily Costumed--Edith Decker at the Orpheum Wwas turning the corner of Third and ..

Nobody could get enough of her and she was compelled to answer three en- cores and bow. and bow again in re- sponse to the thunderous applause. She sings with wonderful clarity and sweet- ness. In addition she is beautiful and possesses an amazing amount of mag- netism. She was happy over her re- ception and the audience was glad to see and hear her. Russo as Faust and Abramoff as'Mephistoples, respectively, sang splendidly and contributed their full share to Miss Decker’s triumph. Another tremendous hit in another line was made by “Charmion,” a pi- quant trapeze performer, who does a somewhat daring disrobing act in the beginning and then twists and twirls on the bar in an extraordinarily graceful adept series of stunts. Evans, Cunning- ham, Jenny and Roland, the Empire Comedy Four, made much laughter and sang some catchy songs. Marcus and Gartell, in an orfginal act on roller skates, were well received.

He soon discovered that the “candy” was not of the same brand as previously given him . by- his mother. He in- formed his parents of a disagreeable sensation in his stomach and on his explanation of current events was hur- ried to the Emergency Hospital, where Dr. Kuisick applied the stomach pump under protest. The drug was pumped out and the lad was sent home. —————— — Quarrel Led Her to Take Poison.

The jurors themselves show the ileut signs of worry. They walked from {lheh' quarters in the Palace Hotel to | the juryroom yesterday morning look- | !ing more as if they were on their way | to a picnic than to enter into delibera- i tions concerning the liberty of one of their fellow-citizens. After being locked up in the juryroom no communication was received from them until 12:30, | when, in answer to a%ummons, a dep- ! uty sheriff opened the door and received | 2 message brief but suggestive. It was | simply, “We are hungry.” The deputy | sheriffs were hungry also and sympa- thized with the twelve talesmen. who were at once escorted to the Palace | Hotel. They did not return until 2 |o'clock and from that hour until & | not a-word was heard from them.

Friends and rela- i tives pay frequent visits to his quar- | ters. Attorneys Ach, Dunne and Short- | ridge spend considerable time in the | hall yesterday and did whatever they | could to encourage their client. | 'There were rumors yesterday to the effect that the jury stood ten for con- ! viction and two for acquittal Just | before the jurors were led back to their | hotel rumor had it that the jury stood | eleven to one. There was much specu- | lation regarding the identity of the ione who was holding out. The ex- pense of the trial tAus far, including | board, meals and fees for the jurors and mileage and fees for the witnesses has been enormous. i | . i | MISS NO. 3963 LOST A DIAMOND Valued at Over $1500.
