The Alleged Murderer.
Ban Francisco, Nov. 3.-When the
officer made the arrest of Alfred Ander-
son and Berthe Nelson. Anderson, not
withstanding his feigned or real aston
ishment, answered promptly and with
out reserve, that his name was Alfred
Anderson. When questioned, after be-
ing takeu 10 the central police station,
Anderson was very reticent, and claim
ed to have thought his brother was in
Chicago until the time of his arrest. He
further stated that he had seen his
brother Charles in Portland two days
prior to his (Alfred's) leaving that city,
which was on or about the 9th of Octo-
Der. They had never had any words,
and az to the amount of money his
brother had he had no knowledge.
When he last saw his brother tn o latter
was intending to start next morning for
Chicago, having got disguised with
business prospects in Portland. As to
the woman Nelson she had been with
his brother Carl in Chicago, and he
never saw her until she came to Port
land. She had been working with
family there, and was dissatisfied with
her position and deserted by her former
paramour, Carl, who the prisoner claims
to have thought went to Chicago, he
(Alfred) made proposition to her that
she become his mistress, to which she
acoeded. The prisoner stated that he
had been in Portland for eight years,
and left Portland for San Francisco, in
tending to follow the same occupations
in this city, and he brought the woman
with him at her own request. While In
Portland he had lived for several years
in cabin near Weidler's sawmill. The
prisoner is tall, powerful Norwegian,
standing six feet high, and is "a years
of age. His face is of the national type,
and is smooth shaven with the exception
of the upper lip, on which is a small,
light mOustache. His features are i'm
mobile, and indicated no disturbance
either when he referred to his brothers
death or his own position, although Of
ficers say when first placed under arrest
he gave indications of considerable ex-
citement, perspiratiOn starting out upon
his forehead. He is dressed in blue
navy suit of cut and texture, little indi-
eating that its wearer followed the la
bOrious calling Of longshOreman. The
female prisoner is even more uncOm-
| municative than her pseudo consOrt
upon the immediate subject of the mdr-
der leading to their arrest. She is pO-
lite, and her costume is that of serving
maid rather than Of cOurtesan. She
is native of Sweden, and but twenty
years of age. She states that ON the
I'D OF September she arrived in San
Francisco from Chicago with Carl An
derson, and they registered as man and
wife at the American Exchange Hotel.
They had kept large saloon in Chica-
90, known as the Scandinavian Saloon,
and she supposed that he had made
money. After remaining in this city
about three days they went to Portland,
where she went to work with family
with whom she remained but nine days.
About three weeks ago she was out walk
ing with Carl one night, and on his re
turn with her to the house of the family
with whom she was living he told her
that he could do nothing in Portland,
and was going back to Chicago. Next
day Alfred visited her and told her that
Carl had gone to Chicago. Then it was
that the two entered into . compact to
live together, and started for San Fran.
