Fish, Representative, Telephone Main 1472. . . 3L.—A case l Strange Couple Rent Room, Fire It and Flee. - e ' NO CLEW TO CRIMINALS e g | Miss M. E. Barrett | Is the Victim of Bad Pair. ST L, One of the most coolly plannéd crimes in San Francisco police annals was at- tempted early yesterday morning, when an unidentified couple, for whom the po- lice are looking, set fire to their room in a Van Ness avenue rooming-house and under cover of the attendant excitement attempted to ransack the apartments. The thieves got $75 from the room of the landlady and overlooked much of value. The police are trailing the sus- pects, a man and a woman, who gave their names as Johnson, but no clew to their identity has been discovered and de- tection is almost hopeless. The couple engaged a room from Miss M. E. Barrett of $48 Van Ness avenue Saturd: afternoon. The man, who was of medium height and of a sandy com- plexion, said that the room was wanted only for one night, with the possibility of a longer stay, and was shown a room just back of the parlor. After engaging it the man and his companion stopped in the hallway near the door and “Johnson” gave M Barrett a twenty-doilar gold piece in payment. As Miss Barrett en- tered her room to change the gold plece the couple followed her and stéod so as | to observe from what part of the room Ncr suspecting any on the part of her new lodgers, Barrett opened the lower drawer of ardrobe and took from it a small purse that contained $75. After making the change she placed the twenty-dollar | plece with the rest of the money and threw the purse into the drawer. The first occasion that Miss Barrett had to visit the room rented by the ‘“John- sons”” was about 8:30 o’clock in the even- ing. At that time she showed the room to another caller and found the door un- locked and the gas burning low. LANDLADY SMELLS SMOKE. bout 0 o'clock Sunday morning rrett s awakened by the smell of smoke. Springing from bed she went into the lower hall to discover its origin and searched for several minutes in vain, | Becoming alarmed, as the smoke was in- creasing. she ran upstairs and informed two of her lodgers, Mr. and Mrs. M. E. | Henshaw It was at this juncture, the police be- lieve, that the mysterious couple began their operations. Seizing a moment when { Miss Barrett had run upstairs and left | her room unguarded, one of them ran into the room and hastily gathered in the | purse in the wardrobe drawer. After get- | ting their booty it is believed that both | went out the front door. Just what the couple did after that is { not known, but the police believe that they waited near the building for several minutes in the hope that an alarm would i be turned in, so that in the excitément they might re-enter and loot the other rooms. This theory is colored by the fact that the front door was found ajar. After returning downstairs the Hen- | shaws and Miss Barrett found the door locked and the gas still burning. They | entered with a key and worked to beat the flames, and finally succeeded in put- | ting out the fire after it had eaten its way along the fireplace and up the wall. The other lodgers in the bullding were kept in ignorance of the fire, and to the waiting couple outside the lack of excite- ment proved an incentive for them to de- camp. DISCOVERS MONEY GONE. After the fire was put out Miss Barrett returned to her room, and then it was discovered that she had been robbed. |She told her story to Patrolman Har- | rell, who was summoned. A hasty search | was instituted, but it was found that no | other vaiuables had been taken, although | most of the guests had money and jew- eiry in accessible places in their rooms. Shortly afterward Detectives Cody and | Riordan were detailed to trace the miss- | ing *“Johnsons.” The trace left by the |m)‘ster|0us visitors was an empty candy box. They brought no lufgage and said | nothing about themselves. Miss Barrett | described the man as of medium height, rather stout, dressed in dark clothes and having red hair and a red mustache. The woman was also red-haired, small-fea- tured and neatly dressed in black, with dark turban and white veil. They were last seen by Miss Barrett at 5:30 o'clock Saturday evening as they left the house. Two peculiar incidents of the robbery and arson are that Miss Barrett reported to the police several months ago that she saw a man skulking about | the house at the rear, and about three weeks ago a little girl in the neighborhood brought her a new blank book, which the child claimed was found in an empty lot at the back of Miss | Barrett's house. Investigation disclosed a large package of mew books and sta- tionery buried in the lot. They were | taken in charge by the police and have never been claime PRI T PROWLER STEALS A TWENTY. Enters Room of Mixy F. Steele and Is Frightened by the Lady's Screams. | Sneakthief work was done last night in room®10:0f the Mercantile Library building at Van Ness and Golden Gate avenues, and a twenty dollar gold piece was taken from Miss F. Steele by a person unknown to her. The ifercan- tile building is a sho distance from the place where the robbery and arson | were committed on Van Ness avenue. | Miss Steele says her room was en- tered while she was asleep and .that she was awakened by some one feeling beneath her pillow. She immediately | sprang from the bed with a scream and her exhibition of hy cs hrought other lodgers to the scene. The “prowl- er,” however, made his Or her escape by running down the hall at the rear of the building and leaving by a rear door. The case was reported to Patrolman Parquet by the janitor, John Bozall. ————— Shoe Factory a Costly Blaze.

Chief of Police Delanéy believes th the whole affair is sbhady’ and, although he could not break down Goldsmith in & long talk held at headquarters to-night, he will continue his investigations to- morrow and hopes to find something definite, The chief also had long talks with Cohen, who was with Goldsmith at | the hotel where the affair occurred. | Cohen believes the hold-up genuine and professes to be as much mystified as the police. The one strong point which makes the police belleve that there was a ‘“frame | up” is the statement of Hotel Clerk Fleming, who says that when he took the money to the room, Burke had no gun in his hand, which would have given Gold- smith an opportunity to make a fight. Goldsmith says that Burke never had him uncovered for an instant during the time they were in the room. No trace of Burke has been found nor do the police believe one will be. ITALIAN.
