TASCOTT AGAIN FOUND.
He is Now Said to be in Canton, China

SAN Francisco, June 5.-The Chronicle thi 8
morning says that William B. Tascott, the muir
derer of Amos j. Snell the Chicago banker, is
now in Canton, China. The discovery of his
present residence is said to have been secured
from Mrs. Gautz, who arrived here from Chi
cago about two months since and who claims
TO be the deserted wife of Myron Gautz, form
eriy connected with Chicago paper. A Chron-
icte reporter, representing himself as an advance
agent, made himself exceedingly agreeable to
Mrs. Gautz, who finally grew friendly enough
to say that it was she who aided Tascott to es-
cape from Chicago. She says Tascott was con-
eealed in her house two days, and then two
weeks more in house of her selection. She
then assisted him to reach 81. Paul, and about
month after the murder she went west by
rail to Portland, Oregon, and thence to British
Columbia. A few days later he sailed on Ca
madam Pacific steamer TO China. Mrs. Gautz
claims to have received letters from him in
China. Most of this information was secured
from Mrs: Gautz while she was under the in
fiuence Of liquor.
