PAYMAsTER SMITH.
He Turns Up in New York in Decidedly
Booty Condition.

New YORK, May 3d.-Paymaster Smith,
of the United States corvette Essex, has
been found. He is at his mothers home.
He left the Essex last Thursday upon the
arrival of the vessel from the Asiatic sta
ton, for large sum of money due the
men. Smith went to the Sub-Treasury and
drew So, 900 with which to pay the crew
on installment. That night he went to the
Gilsey House and placed the money intact
in the safe. The next morning he called
with man named Ferguson and received
the cash from the hotel clerk. That was
the last seen of him until found to-day.
Mrs. Smith says that her son came home
Wednesday night in partly crazed condi-
ton. He appeared to have been drinking
heavily. She persuaded him to retire, but
after being in bed few hours he arose and
attempted to commit suicide by shooting.
After that she watched him closely, but he
made no further attempt on his life. The
wife OF the Pavmaster arrived here to-day
from San Francisco on the steamer New
port. 1t is said about the Smith residence
that there has been some misunderstanding
with Smith and his wife, and that this and
her expected arrival here were the causes
for his disappearance and rash action.
Smith YVES in too bad condition to-day TO
tell what disposition, if any, he had made
of the Essex money. His accounts on
board are perfectly straight.

Van Every is No Longer Santa Monica
Vestryman.


Los ANGELES, May 3d-George Van
Every, the defendant in the sensational
breach of-promise case brought by Miss
frankie Dykes, was again on the witness
stand yesterday. On cross examination he
stated that he gave frankie the Bible
which is in evidence, after he was converted,
but being asked if he had severed relations
with the girl then he said he could not be
sure. He produced document which set
forth he had been criminally intimate with
the girl and that for $10O, receipt of which
she acknowledged, she relinguished all
civil liability growing out of such relations
When frankie took the stand in rebuttal
she wept bitterly. She said: George kept
me signing papers and l did not know
what they were. l never had an education
and cannot read. John Van Every gave
me some money on the date of that paper,
but l did not know how much it was. l
was crying at the time, for they told me
George was sick and had lost his money.
Van Every promised 70 marry me and on
that promise l allowed him to be on very
familiar terms with me-"
The case is being argued. The question
of what disposition Van Every made of
Frankies baby, which she never has seen
. rince the day of its birth, will probably be
Investigated at the close of this trial. Van
Every has resigned the Office of yestryman
of the Episcopal Church at Santa Monica.

case of Frances Dykes vs.. George s. Van
Every brought in a verdict of SIS 600 for

members of the Masonic fraternity and
were returning to this city from visit to
DR.. Boyer of Bridesburg, Worshipful Mas
ter of the lodge to which they belonged.
Howard Gibbs, one of the injured, did not
belong to the party but had been overtaken
on the road and allowed to ride with the
driver. The brief delay caused by taking
on this extra passenger undoubtedly had
much 10 do with the calamity which fol.
lowed. The night was hazy, rendering OBJ

Reservation, the two being rivals for the

she has been dressed in black plush dress,
with dark shawl over her shoulders; the
only article of apparel which betrays her
Indian tastes being her hat, which is low,
black felt one, evidently intended for a
man.
