Then with hand placed behind right ear, he told the court that he is a race- track habitue and dwells at 369 O'Far- rell street, the apartment adjolning that rented by him having been occu- pled by the defendant at the time of the alleged robbery. While dressing himself that fateful morning he found that a necktie, which he had just pur- chased, was too narrow to conveniently hold his diamond pin, so he dropped the treasure into. a side pocket of his | pantaloons, intending to buy a wider cravat when he went forth. Then he noticed that his mustache was in need of curling and it occurred to him that his fair next-door neighbor, with whom | he had more than once “passed the time ! of day,” might have a curling fron | among her possessions, so he went to her chamber door and inquired if his surmise were correct. It was, and Miss Jones not only told him she had the desired article, but hospitably invited | him to enter and permit her to crimp his mustache. He accepted the invi- | tation and while applying the heated | iron to his lip decoration she “dipped” and got the diamond pin—at least, he belleved that was how he lost it. Miss Jones acknowledged the mus- tache-curling, but denied the theft. The diamond pin was not found by Patrol- man “Harry” Hook, who thoroughly ransacked 'her boudoir when he ar- resi~d her, about half an hour after the ve- Price lours.

The po- lice authorities of three cities have no solution of the mystery. All that is known is that he was last seensin this city on Wednesday, December 6, and that he was Francis Hall McGrath of Sausalito. Efforts have been made to discredit the identification of MecGrath's body, which was made by Poundmaster Charles Bright of Sausalito. It is now asserted that McGrath had some faint tattoo marks on his left arm. Sheriff Taylor of San Rafael, who had McGrath in custody twice on charges of manslaughter, said yesterday: “I am positive that there were mno tattoo marks on McGrath's person.’ I saw him stripped to the waist several times and am certain that if there were any I would have noticed them. 1 believe that the body is that of McGrath and I shouldn’t wonder that he was killed by friends of George Taylor of the Bear. Threats were made at the fu- neral by friends of Taylor thnt they would ‘get’ MeGrath.” One of McGrath's Sausalito friends de- clared yesterday that McGrath had a tooth filled with gold in this cify only a few months ago. A left upper incisor in the dead man's mouth had been re- cently filled with gold. This was a point that puzzled Charles Bright, because the work was done after he lost track of McGrath. NO CLEW ON BODY. No clew to the murder was found on the body, nor was there anything left in the clothing to identify the man. The motive was not robbery: the Oak- land police are satisfied of that. There remains but one theory—the one held by revenge. received by de- | | Sheriff Taylor, that it Last Monday a letter wa the local police authorities which clared that the body of the man found on the mole was that of Francis Hall McGrath. Yesterday some one tele- phoned to Captain of Detectives Burnett that the bodv was not McGrath's, and that McGrath had tattoo marks on his arm. The man refused to give his name, and declared that he would ‘“ring up later.” He did not do so. Who wrote that letter? Who, phoned that message?

He told Bright so when he left SBausalito. Friends of George Tay , & sailor on the revenue cutter Bear, whom McGrath had kill- ver a dog, had threat- ened to “get him. When MeGrath left Sausalito last December he was in fear of his life. While he was in Sausalito he was be- friended by Mrs. Lena Welk, a pretty candy girl employed at the Haas candy store. The day before his body was found on the mole he called at the store and asked for her. That was the last that was seen of him alive. Mrs. Welk admitted that she knew him, L.
