Suicide Of an ADscOader.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct.-S.-Last
April, J. r. Alsip, boOkkeeper for
Meeker, James & Co., absconded,
a defaulter to the amount of 81. 600.
1t was ascertained that he had left
for Callao on the British bark
Guiding Star. Detective Jehu
went by steamer to Callao, arriving
in advance of the bark, and when
she made port, arrested Alsip on a
requlstion. He with his prisoner
took passage on the ship Valpa-
raiso, which came into the harbor
last evening. While off Fort Point
Jehu, who was sitting on deck with
Alsip, left him q few minutes to
speak to the Captain about putting
him on a police boat before coming
to anchor. On his return Alslp had
disappeared, but his coat was lying
near where he had been sitting, and
in the pocket was found the follow
ing letter:
"To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Rather than bear the ills I have,
1 have concluded to fly to those /
know not Of 1 have said that |
never would be taken to san Fran
cisco alive, and 1 keep my word. l
desire that w. e. Robinson take
charge of my effects. For all of
this, a shameful crime, blasted
life, u shameful end, perhaps a
domned soul, thanks to the honor
able d. M. r. ALsIP."
The tide was running strong and
it is considered impossible that
Alsip should have escaped to the
shore.
