Luigi de Paoli, who brutally dered his sister-in-law, she was exerting an upon his family, was taken back to the County Jail from the detention ward at the Central Emergency Hos- mur- believing that evil influence pital yesterday. A few days ago De Paoli became violent in the jail and was taken to the hospital for treat- ment. The woman-slayver was much calmer than he had been since the murder when he was taken back to the jail, though he still ntinued to mumblé prayers and litanies to his imaginary demons. He will be instructed and arraigned before Judge Cook on Tues- day. After that he will probably be examined as to his sanity. —_——— Joyce Wanted for Bigamy. . Mrs. Emma Evans, 49 Parker avenue, has at last succeeded in getting a war- rant for the arrest of George Joyce, her son-in-law, on a charge of bigamy. She alleges that Joyce was divorced from his first wife last February and mar- ried her daughter last July, before the expiration of a year after the inter- locutory decree was granted. She had Joyce and two women arrested about two weeks ago for obtaining $800 by false pretenses by Inducijng her to buy the Strand lodging-house on Anna street. The case is still pending In the Police Court. Joyce is an ex-conviet, having served a term in San Quentin for forgery in Los Angeles. Is Ovércome by Smoke. Bmoke from a fire in the basement of the home of John Brandenberg, 440 Baker street, nearly asphyxiated the entire household at an early hour yes- terday morhing. The origin of the fire has not yet been ascertained. About 1 oclock Brandenberg was roused by the cries of members of his family. His room was filled with smoke and he was 80 overcome by breathing it that he could scarcely stagger out of the place. An alarm was turned in and the fire was extinguished before it had done much damage to the dwelling. —_——— Criticism Is Revented. Because Gustav Nelson made unkind remarks about the scrambled eggs served to him at the restaurant of Sam- uvel Tsowls at Eighth and Market streets yesterday morning, the pro- prietor smote the customer with a beer bottle. Nelson was taken to the Cen- iral Emergency Hospital, where he was haunted by visions of scrambled eggs through six hours of unconsciousness. Tsowis was arrested on a charge of battery. His gallant vindication of the eggs will probably cost him a fine. e dim D il el s TRSE S el h oe { deeper from the fact that the letter which pthat letter con FATES ACT IN HIDEOUS REMAINS WILL LIE IN MOUNTAIN VIEW..

MYSTERY OF OPENING OF ANOTHER'S MAIL Missive Has Been Lost an(l'; Man Whom Tt Was Meant For Is Wondering What| Grim News Awaits Him, e e ——— £ i Last Thursday afternoon in the south | nave of the ferry building John Augustus | Miller of Providence, Pa., shot himself | through the head and died almost instant- 1y. On his person was found an envelope across which he had scrawled, “This let- ter made me desperate.” Yesterday after- noon F. J. Millar, a ‘late arrival from Dixon, IIl, staying at the Hotel Termi- nus, the same hotel where John Augustus Miller, the suicide, had a room the day hs shot himself, called in great excitement at the Coroner’s office. He said that the mail that he had had addressed to him at the Hotel Terminus had -been opened and taken by mistake by the man now dead. A hasty perusal of the enveiope across which John Miller before shooting himself had scrawled, “T letter made me desperate.” showed instantly that it had been addressed to F. J. Millar and came, not from Providence, where the dead man lived but from Dixon, I, where now lives the wife of F. J. Millar. So that it seems established that the ter which caused Miller's despair and | drove him to suicide was not addressed | to him, was not written by any one he | knew and that he went to death under some hideous mistake. LETT OF MYSTERY The mystery of the affair GONE. is all the drove to death a man for w not meant e ts no long made on John Augustus Mill death, and through his belonging: to discover the letter. Only the envelope which had inclosed it remained, with its | despairing sentence. And now F. J. Miffar of Dixon, Ill, is askifig himself, “By whom was that letter written.

And perhaps far within him| he wonders in fear what will be his| act when it reaches him Wil its | meaning be such to make of life | an unprofitable and grievous thing, worthy ouly of being snuffed out? HOW MILLAR LEARNS TRUTH. The manner in which F. J. Mill learned of this strange imbroglio is most a tragedy in itself. Ing from his home in Dixon. reached San Francisco Thursday and took a room at the Hotel Terminus. He knew when he started that he was Zoing 4o stop there, and he had told his wife, who is in Dixon now, and his friends there to address their let- ters to the Hotel Terminus. Yester- day a telegram was received at the hotel asking information about his suicide. The telegram came from his wife and was an answer to another telegram that she had received from San Francisco announcing his death. The sender of this telegram is not yet known, but, of course, it was to the suicide of John Augustus Miller that he referred. Hastily reassuring his wife by wire, Millar then found that letters addressed to him at the hotel had been opened by mistake by the man that is dead. Tmmediately rush; | ing to the Coromer's office, he found that the letter itself that had sent John Augustus Miller to suicide had | beeri meant for him. And now he is | wondering. ———— Grants Altermative Writs, ‘ The Court of Appeal granted alter- | native writs of habeas corpus yester- day in favor of W. J. Rogers, H. H. | Main and Ernest Horwitz.

[t would cause no surprise, however, if he should develop a deal of strength as a candidate for the Supreme Court or the Court of Appeals of this district at the Republican nominating | Politiclans in the Republican camp are saying that Governor Pardee has now an opportunity to adjust affairs in Ala- meda County in a manner that would gratify Judge Melvin and Senator Lukens. It is said that he could appoint Justice Hall of the Appeliate Court to the Su- preme bench and then appoint Judge Mel- vin'to the Court of Appeals. It is an open question, however, whether Justice Hall would accept ' the ‘promotion. He might consider that a full term on the Court of Appeals would be more desirable than the preme bench. It is the common impression that the Governor will look carefully over the field of aspirants in Southern California and | appoint some one from the place where Yan Dyke lived when he was nominated. Reports to the effect that the Ruefters of San Francisco are getting in line to support J. O. Hayes of San Jdse for the nomination for Governbr may somewhat diminish the chances of Justice Lorigan for renomination to the Supreme béhch. The convention might consider that a safe Republican county like Santa Clara should be recognized by one place on the ticket, but ought not to have two o!' the best places. Hayes could not expect outside support unless he presented some- thing like a solid delegation from his own county, and a delegation for Hayes might not be a delegation for Lorigan. ‘Wheén locality is considered Santa Rosa, with Judge Burnett as a candidate, could ‘advance the proposition that Jackson Tem- ple, whose place on the bench Justice Lorigan now occupies, was a resident of tion yesterday relative to the plans of!Sonoma County when the people elected the Geary-street road. changes were made in the plans, which Certain minor | him to the Supreme Court.

As another trib- ute of honor to the youthful departed City Justice R. B.

An inspection made to-day near the cor- ner of Central avenue and Grove street, where Miss Taylor was found with hee head crushed and unconscious by Ed- last night, showed that the youthtul rider’s skull had not been frac~ tured in faliing from her wild mount, but that her life went out as a result of be- ing carried against heavy lmb and h fearful force. ALAMED! Locks hair wi the tree, having been tor in_the collision. Miss Taylor, although but 18 years of age, was regarded as the most daring and expert equestrienne in Alameda and Oakland, and her mounts wers always high mettled thoroughbreds. Until re- cently she was wont to ride a moted steeplechaser from the Boots' Stoek Farm and she would take any jump that her horse was capable of making. The young lady was a skilled hunter and yachts- woman, and when her father owned the historic Emerald she was a member of the crew, and took her trick at the wheel with seasoned sallors. During Senator Tayler's term of offica at Sacramento eight years ago his daugh~ ter was his constant companion and occu- pied a seat beside him in the Senate chamber. She was affectionately termed the ‘“‘Daughter of the Senate’” and be- came widely known to the legislators then at the capital city.
