John, in speaking 7.—The evening, impugned the motives of the Senate committee that drafted the measure, He roasted every one that had any- thing to do with the bill with the re- sult that Lynch, who hails from his ! section’ of the State, went over to the Assembly chamber to “call him down.” “You lie,” sald Lynch. ‘“You know you lie, and I won't stand for your condemnation of my colleagues.” John was white with anger, but he made no reply. Later he set about pre- paring a complaint against Lynch to call him before the bar of the Assembly to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt. g P i N TRANSATLANTIC COMPANIES MAY RAISE THE RATES 1 & {Saloon and Steerage Passengers Will H Soon Have to Pay More for Tickets.

Says He Did Not Uncork Declares Miss Rfichmopdl Is Flistaken Continued From Page 1, Column 7. ] nett yesterday. McWhinney was in the sweatbox for nearly an hour. His interrogators were Captain Burnett, Acting Chief Spillane and District Attorney Bying- jton. THe butler answered all ques- {tions "In' a straightfdrward way and accounted for his movements in a | satisfactory manner: Heé consented to be photographed and was allowed to go. Shortly after he left, Miss Elizabeth Richmond, the former maid of Mrs. Stanford, pale and. worn, hurried; through the front entrance of the Hall of Justice. There was a hunted ex- ! pression in her face and she tried to steal in unobserved. When she arrived, Attorney Mount- ford Wilson joined the inquisitors in Captain Burnett's room. When told of McWhinney's assertion that he had not opened the bottle from which Mrs. Stanford drank the poisoned water, the | pale little woman seemed a trifle startled, but she stuck to her story. _ She was made to go over again the incidents of the thirteenth and four- teenth of January and was submitted to a rigid cross-examination on every point. She was made to account for every movement made by her from a peint long ante-dating her employ- ment by Mrs. Stanford. ‘Beverly did not accompany the woman this time. Hé came after she had been in the sweatbox for some time. The former - butler 'was put throveh a cross-examination equally @8 severe as the one undergone” by 4alSS pcomond. I never accused Miss Berner of grafting,” he asserted. “I -never grafted myself, either, but I took per- quisites when we were traveling in Europe.” “What do you mean by perqui- sites?” was asked. “Well,” he replied, ‘““when we were traveling in Europe I used to take commissions on sales. It is expected and nobody ever complains about it.” “Did you take perquisites, as you call them, in San Francisco?"” “I never' did,” replied Beverly firmly. “Not one 5-cent piece. I got my $75 a month and that is every cent I made here.” - “And Miss Berner did not take per- quisites?” “She did not; never to my knowl- edge.” Beverly was angered at the report that had been spread to the effect that he had accused Miss Ber- ner of “grafting.” Beverly and Miss Richmond were permitted to go andiwent out of the building together, ' “I told them that I would not need them again until I receive word from Honolulu,” said Captain Burnett lat- er. “They will not pe held under guard by my order. ‘ou may safely say that.” Nevertheless, it is reported that the pair will be summoned to San Fran- cisco again to answer questions of the police, Miss Richmond is still at the Beverly home near Burlingame. “I don’t want my name dragged into this case,” demanded William McWhin- ney of the detectives when he was led before them. He was assured that no suspicion rested on him whatever and that only information was sought from him in the interest of justice. But before the detectives had finished the “sweating’’ the former butler was induced to sit for a photograph that will be filed away with the police records of the case. At no time since the poisoning of Mrs. Stanford on January 14 has it been intimated that McWhinney might be involved. His character was thor- oughly investigated and it was found to be good. With the detectives yes- terday he was perfectly frank. ° ‘When he made his very important contradiction of the statement of Miss Richmond as to pulling the corks of the Poland water bottles, the detec- tives desiring to press the point further told him that Miss Richmond had said that it was he that had opened the two bottles, one for Miss Berner and one for Mrs. Stanford. “No, no, Miss Richmond is mistaken or you must have misunderstbod her,” answered McWhinney witl an air of naivete, at which the smiles of the sleuths could not be repressed. Captain Burnett swung in his chair that he might give vent to ill-sup- pr‘erd laughter. cWhinney explained that he was not regularly employed by Mrs. Stan- ford as butler. He had been engaged temporarily only by the caterer who was to take charge of the number of social affairs she had planned. It was early in January that McWhinney went to work at the mansion and he re- mained at the residence until February 14. “I was there when Mrs. Stanford ‘was poisoned, but I really know noth- ing about the occurrence, for I did not become acquainted to any degree with the members of the household,” insisted McWhinney in trying to explain that the detectives were wasting time in Iqueu(lonlng him. X But the time was not belng wasted. McWhinney was called on to detail the arrangement of the rooms in the mansion and tell who occupied each. During his service he occubied a room on the first floor in the southwest corner of the house, directly under Mrs. Stanford’s room. He did not know Wwho of the household had access to her room. “When dld you first hear that Mrs. Stanford had been poisoned?” Me- ‘Whinney was asked. T think it was on the evening of January 21, the day the report of the Etlxlh was received from the drug- ““Who first told you about 1t?" “I wouldn’t say positively, but I think it was Miss Richmond. It was either Saturday evening or an evening or.two after that. We were at dinner, Miss Richmond taking her meals with the rest of us, and I think it was dur- ing the conversation about the table that she informed me of what had oc- curred on the evening of January 14 and what the chemist had reported.” In subsequent conversation about the house McWhinney had learned all the available details. L “‘Did you uncork the bottle of Poland water from which Mrs. Stanford took the poisoned potion and which later was found to contain strychnine?” “I did not. . “Did you ever open a bottle of Poland water that was taken to Mrs. Stan- ford’'s room?" “Yes, on the evening she was pois- oned I uncorked a bottle that was taken to her room. But the poison was found in another bottle, the one that had been placed in her room the even- ing before.” ““Were you in the habit of uncorking the mineral water bottles?"” “I was not. which she did not touch.” “Who asked you to draw the cork from that bottle?” “Miss Richmond did. on Saturday evening and asked me to open the bottle. the bottle.” ‘‘But Miss Berger says you pulled the corks from two bottles of Poland water Friday evening and that in the one taken to Mrs. Stanford the poison was found subsequently?” “I did not open one bottle or two bottles or any bottle at that time or any time other than the occasion I have mentioned. If Miss Richmond told you that she was mistaken or you misunderstood her."” ACTORS’ FUND FOUNDER DIES IN NEW YORK NEW YORK, March 7.—A. M.

Hon- est, witty but respectful, proud of his calling and devoted to Venice, he be- longed to the old order of gondoliers, of which there are few specimens now remaining. Many are the stories toid of his prowess and battles for th2 honor of his town and profession. He was long known as the “Little Father of - the Gondoliers” and assumed rather more authority over them than the courtesy title conferred on him, not hesitating to enforce discipline by corporal punishment. Of late years many who are not Venetians have taken to the business and Zatta much resented this alien invasion to which he ascribed the decadence of the old traditions of courtesy and fellowshio among the knights of the oar. On one occasion he created a semsation by pitching into one of the foreigners who had demanded from a woman, with threats, more than his proper fare. They tumbled into the Grand Canal together and the old chap was nearly drowned, but he felt amply consoled for that by the severe drub- bing and ducking the other fellow re- ceived! This episode led really to his | death, as the fellow one night knifed | Zatta in the back, reopening an oid | wound received in the war of inde- pendence, and which never again healed. The old man was very fond of the ladies, admiring particularly foreign types, and as he never forgot a face, his friends all over the world were le- gion. He was a great match-maker, {too. If he had a young couple in his | gondola he would take them to the ! most romantic spots, especially if it were moonlight, and sing love songs gver their heads in his beautiful tenor jvoice, until only the stoniest hearts | could resist the spell of the enchant- | ment. If necessary he would divert the | attentfon of the chaperone by telling | her blood curdling stories of what had { happened in the different historic pal- | aces, his pretty broken English add- | ing much to the interest of his narra- tives. The great event of Zatta’s life was on the day he carried his hero, Gari- baldi, in triumph about the lagoons, but it was also the day of his “great shame,” as he called it, as he wag so _ OF GONDOLIERS | & e DOES NOT WANT RECONCILIATION “Buffalo Bill” Declares He Will Have Nothing More to Do With His Wife MRS. CODY NOT SINCERE Showman'’s Attorney Says Woman’s Overtures Were Not Made in Good Faith OMAHA, Ne! March 7.—During the course of his deposition in his pe- tition for, divorce, Willlam ¥. Cody (Buffalo Bill) to-day declared that he could not accept a reconciliation with Mrs, Cody and declared he would have apsolutely nothing to do with her in the future. This declaration was made as the result, as Colonel Cody stated, of Mrs. Cody having charged him with being the murderer of their daughter Arta and announc- ing publicly that she would denounce him over her grave. A. M. Ridgley, for Colonel Cody, stated that Mrs. Cody had not been sincere in her expressed wish for a re- conciliation and in making it had placed such conditions on her accept- ance of such an event as to preclude any chance of Cody's accepting them. Cody was questioned about the sep- aration between himself and Mrs. Cody in 1877. He sald that it result- ed from an affair at a hotel in Oma- ha. He had closed a business season, he said, and was paying off the women employes. He said Mrs. Cody took exception to the manner in which he bade the women employes good-by, although he did not consider it an im- propriety. Colonel Cody left Omaha this after- noon for New York and will sall Sat- urday for Paris. TWO ROBBERS HOLD UP ROADHOUSE CLUB ROOM Cover Seven Men Playing FPoker and Then Take Their Coin. LOS ANGELES, March 7.—In a man- ner which would have done credit to any pair of Arizona outlaws, two men entered the club room of a road house three miles east of this city on the ‘Whittier road last night, covered seven men who were playing poker there and robbed them. From the dealer alone, a well known gambler known as “Spider” Kelly, the robbers secured $135 and a big revolver. e CAN WITH STICKS OF DYNAMITE FOUND Believed to Have Been Intended to Wreck Safe of Bank at Campbeil.

He had carried all the sovereigns, for- eign and domestic, without a tremor, but to have Garibaldi on his hands was an honor so great as to upset even his fron nerve. Now Zatta is no more, and all the gondoliers of Venice are in mourning. The procession of black gondolas, guided by black-clad figures chanting a funeral dirge for the burial, was one of the most impressive sights Verice has ever witnessed. The lower classes jdolized him, and a song composed in his honcr, whoch was sung throughout the Venetian province, had for its rg- frain, “There is only one God, only one Pope and only one Zatta—for the regatta.” ——— e T e Brussellette.
