Early this morning Officer Briare was detailed to locate the expressman who hauled ‘the trunk to the depot. He found him in the person of Charley who operates the Old Abbott dray. Berry said he had hauled a trunk to the depot the previous day. At the Morgue he quickly identiiied the trunk that had held the body as the one he had handled. The story from | that point unfolded rapidly. Berry said he got the trunk at the California. To locate the place where the trunk was purchased was easy. A clerk in D. S. Rosenbaum’s store sold it to a woman late Saturday forenoon. The trunk was delivered to Express- man Berry, who had been employed to deliver it to the purchaser at her room. Berry took the trunk to the room. The woman opened the door far enough for him to shove it inside. he told him to be back in an hour to haul it to the Southern Pacific depot, as she wanted to catch the 1:20 train to Jamestown. Berry told her she did not have time to pack, but she de- clared, she had ample time and asked him to wait downstairs until she called him. Tiring of. waiting, he went to dinner. e o Shortly after 1 o'clock the woman | approached. him on the street and told | arrival. him_the ' trunk .was ready. Having missed the Milton train, she said she would go to Jackson by way of Galt. She told him to go to the room and get the trunk. He went there shortly after 3 o'cloc Finding the trunk E heavy he summoned Joe Dougherty, another expressman, to help him load it. HAULS TRUNK TO DEPOT. The trunk was delivered at the depot shortly before the train pulled out, and | | while the woman and a man companion | were excitedly pacing up and down, evidently perturbed by the delay in its The woman while walting for the trunk tried to telephone from the Wells-Fargo office, but became §0 ex- cited she nearly collapsed. As Agent Gill started to telephone for her the expressman rounded the corner. As soon as the trunk was on the platform the woman produced the rope. Berry, | the unidentified man and the woman quickly roped it. They gave directions and then rushed for the train. The trunk was placed in the baggage car, but the baggageman, discovering it was not checked, shoved it off on the truck. The train pulled out, carrying the man and woman, but not the piece of baggage about which they had been so solicitious. Before going to the depot Mrs. Mc- Vicar or Mrs. Ledoux purchased of Bee Hart at the H. G. Shaw hardware store a coil of rope. She said she wished to bind a trunk with it. As he handed it to her Hart laughingly re- marked that she must not hang her- self. With perfect composure and in a spirit of jest she replied that ' she would take good care and see that she did not. The couple known as Mr. and Mrs. McVicar were also known at the fur- niture store of John Breuner. They had purchased for use in Jamestown some furniture on time payments. Friday af- ternoon a further order was given for goods to be delivered at Jamestown. Sdturday morning the woman called zlone, paid the bill in full and ordered the shipment changed to Jackson and for delivery to a Mr. Ledoux, whom she said was her brotfer. It appears that Mrs. McVicar or Ledoux is not unknown here. She was recognized by people who formerly resided in the mountains. She is sald to have anything but a savory moral record. The theory now is that she came here with McVicar from Jamestown. McVicar recently quit his job at the Rawhide mine and is said to have had a large sum of money. Fri- day at Breuner's, when she called with him, she took credit, it is said. Saturday mcrning, late, and at an hour subsequent to the death of McVicar, she called with plenty of money, paid her bill and or- dered the furniture shipped to another point. This suggests robbery, and the fact that a blunt instrument was used creates the belief that the blow given to stun the victim and complete the robbery planned unexpectedly brought death. In desperation the gullty couplé hit upon the plan of getting the body to the moun- tains in a trunk and there disposing of it with a view of hiding thelr guilt. i< POLICE IN PURSUIT. Captain Walker, who brought the crime to light, is out of the city and on the trail of the wanted couple. There is no certainty as tc the identity of the man, but there are those who say he answered the description of Ledoux, the woman's husband from whom she had been-sepa- rated. McVicar is thought to have been a married man or a wiGower. A picture thought to be that of McVicar taken with a little girl was found:in.a valise left in the room where he met death. Arrests are expected at any time. District Attorney Norton discredits the “man in the case” and inclines to the opinion that the woman executed the crime alone. -There are, however, those who insist fhat there is & man in the case; that he was at the depot with the woman, assisted her, shared her agita- tion over the delay in the arrival of the © P R £F 03 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MARCH 26, 1906.

She and her husband about two months ago leased the Head ranch, containing about sixty acres. Mrs. Le Doux was secn in Jackson about a week ago.

She is well known here in the tenderloin dis- trict, where she formerly lived under the name of Emma. Her right name is Emma Head and her parents reside in Jackson, Amador Coun- ty. Some years ago she married a man named Barrett and resided with him for a time in Fresno. The couple separated and soon after the woman was wedded to William Willams of Jackson. After the wedding Willlams took his bride to Arizona.” They lived there but a short time when Williams died under very peculiar circumstances. He had a heavy life insurance policy made out in favor of his wife anhd it is alleged the woman collected the moéney. At any rate, she left Arizona in"a hurry and was next heard from when she married Ledoux of Jackson.

The representatives of the neutral powers, however, asserted that the principal work of the confer- ence had been virtually concluded and that a settlement was imminent, but ,sald there might possibly be minor hitches in connection with the details, owing to the necessity to minutely lay down the terms in order to avoid future controversy, thus postponing the sign- ing of the protocal another fortnight. The delegate of a prominent neutral power, in outlining procedure for to- morrow's sitting of the conference, said that am agreement had practically been attained beforehand and that the Amer- ican proposition relative to a mixed police force was destined to serve as the final arrangement, it being introduced by the Russlans in the form of an amendment %o the Austrian scheme. | The portg.to which it would be applied, he said, had not been fixed, but he be- lieved they would be Tangier and Casa Blanca. Mr. White, the head of the American delegation, he sald, from the first did not present the American proposal to the conference, his desire being to pro- vide a feasible exit from the deadlock, but having pointed the way out of this, Mr. White left it to the delegates to utilize or disregard the American scheme according to the necessities of the case. The extent of the powers of the ‘n- spectors, he said, was the only poiat likely to create #riction, but hc hoped this matter could be arranged. Control of the customs by France and the divi- sion of the capital of the State Bank also remain to be settled, but In the event that the other points are satis- factorily arranged, he thought an ac- cord was inevitable. LONDON, March 26.—The Times’ corre- spondent at Algeciras considers it im- passible that Mr. White at Algeciras could have originated the alleged “Amer- ican project,” because he could not have imagined such a project would have satis- factory results, and says it is altogether misleading to compare this trivial ineci- dent with President Roosevelt's benefl- cent intervention at Portsmouth. ‘‘President Roosevelt,” he adds, ‘‘doubt- less has watched things closely, but he exercised no pressure, and Mr. White's activity has been confined to playing the role of a disinterested amicus curiae. The ‘Washington Cabinet, animated by a de- sire for peace, s ready to agree on any measure the Buropean Governments adopt 50 long as they do not interfere with the ‘American interests. In short, the benefi- cent influence of American statesmen has been in entire harmony with the general trerd of American policy since President Roosevelt's accession and with the view of the personal view of the President, who is recognized in both hemispheres as a peacemaker.” DAYS OF WELL KNOWN ACTRESS NUMBERED Miss Johnstone Bennett Is /in the Valley of the adow. —_— : NEW YORK, Match %.—Miss Johnstone Benuett, who has been ill for nearly a year in California and who recently re- turned East, is dying in Bloomfield, N.

Tobey Battles With the Elements for Three Days and Is Saved by the Heroic Efforts “of Crew ——— SACRIFICES CARGO AS HER HOLD FILLS Mrs. Cartwright of Honolulu _Straps Her Baby in Bunk and Braves -the Fierce Storm With the Sailors —_—— Partially dismantled, with a large part of her cargo lost overboard, and with jer mate and erew badly blil(t"red by gasaline, the old bark Gerard C. To- bey, Captain A. H. Scott, was towed into | port late last night by the tug Sea Queen. She presented a sorry spectacle as she came to anchor in the channel. Her main top mast and main top gal- lant mast had been carried away and lay a mass of wreckage on the deck in the place of the big cargo of tanks filled with gasoline which formed her cargo when she left this port on March 14 fer Honolulu. For the first few days after the ves- sel left here she encountered modérate- ly fine weather. On the morning of March 17, at 4 o'clock, she rap into a furious hurricane and was tossed about by great swashing waves. It was only a short time after this when her deck- loads, composed of 100 tanks of gaso- line, each weighing 1500 pounds, broke loose-from their moorings and bhegan knocking over the decks and jamming up with great force against the bul- warks of the ship. In the meantime the vessel had sprung a leak, and great waves were wash- ing over her with tremendous fury. Captain Scott ordered the tanks of gas- oline, which were rapidly battering the ship to pleces, to be thrown overboard. First Mate M. J. Ryan, with six of the crew, made an attempt to heave the floating tanks into the sea. When they found that this was im- pogsible, they took axes and cut into the gasoline, which flowed out over the decks and the seas that were swashing on them. As a barrel would be emptied of its gasoline it was hoisted overboard. The oil thus thrown out from the tanks covered the men up to their waists, and little by little the men commenced to feel that they were slowly blistering. URGE MEN TO WORK. The captain and mate begged the men to keep at work and they finally suc- cecded in getting the last barrel over- board. This work lasted until the morning of March 18, at 1 o'clock, when . up, worn out an f limbs, dragged themselves to their dunks, where they fell exhausted. The captain and officers were then obliged to take. the watch. Early the next morning, before daylight, a terriffic squall struck the ship and tore away her maintopmast and maintop- gallant mast, which fell with a terrible crash to the deck. The ropes were cut loose and as much as possible of the wreck was thrown Into the sea. In the meantime the ship had sprung a leak. At this juncture she was in lati- tude 3250 north and longitude 13327 west, being 700 miles from this port. Then the captain gave the orders for the vessel ‘to be put about and to have her course turne@ back to San Francisco. It was then found that there were four feet of water in her hold. The pumps were put to work and the water reduced to two and a half feet. The gale, which had moderated for a time, again in- creased with tremendous fury and the ship was thrown upon her beam ends. The sails were cut away and much of her rigging sacrificed, when she finally righted. As she still kept on leaking the cap- tain decided to jettison the cargo in her hold. This work was commenced and a large amount of ofl and cement was thrown overboard. This eased her up considerably and she continued ber course to this port under fair weather, with the exception of last Friday, when she ran into another heavy squall, which tossed her around like a .cockel shell and the captain thought that in her dismantled condition she must certainly 80 to the bottom of the ocean. The storm suddenly abated, however. and the bark had fair weather for the rest of her voyage. She sighted the Far- allones at 1:30 yesterday afternoon and about § o'clock she was taken in tow by the Sea Queen and hauled into port. The moment the ship came to anehor the crew all took to their bunks, where they lay suffering intense pain from the blistering on their legs and hands. They will probably all be taken to the hospital this morning. Mate Ryan was also badly blistered on the right leg, but managed to keep up day and night till the fury of the storm had abated. On the vessel were three passengers, A. Cartwright, wife and child. The Cart- wright family are residents of Honolulu. When the storm was at its height Cart- wright came out and volunteered his ser- vices and was of valuable assistance in cutting open the gasoline tanks, while he worked as a member of the crew. Mrs. Cartwright, although a very frail, delicate woman. offered her services. She tied her little baby tightly in a bunk to keep it from being thrown to the floor and then, robing herself in a heavy mackintosh, ap- peared on the deck while the storm was raging at lts height and asked to be al- lowed to give what assistance she could. VESSEL ROLLS. The ship at this time was pitching and rolling with great fury. The captain at once ordered Mrs. Cartwright back to her stateroom, but after the gale was over he thanked her for the great kindness she displayed in offering to aid the sailors. The cargo left in the hold consists of railroad iron and - cement, and it is thought that that portion of the cement Lthat was not thrown overboard is unin- jured by the storm. At midnight the Steam pumps were going on board and the vessel had two and a half feet of water in her hold. It will undoubtedly be neces- sary to remove all the cargo and have the can again proceed to sea. - ‘Welch & Co. of this city are the agents olulu. She is a 0 Bath, Me., in 1578.
