MYSTERY SOLVED
The San Pablo Suicide Was Ludwig v,
Romayer.

Inc San Pablo Suicide Was Ludwig Won
Romayer.
Mention has previously been made in
the REcoRD-UNIoN of q strange suicide
which occurred last Saturday night near
San Pablo. East-bound train No. l was
speeding toward this city and had just
passed San Pablo when the engineer saw
the figure of a man on the track ahead of
him. The whistle was blown but the man
did not move from the track. The engine
was then reversed and an attempt made
to stop the train before reaching him. Tt e
engineer peered out of the window again
just in time to see the man place a pistol
TO his head and fire. The train passed
over the body before it could be stopped.
Efforts were made to learn who the de-
termined suicide was, but for some time
proved in vain. The mystery has now been
cleared up, however, and the dead man
proves to have been none other than R. o.
Mayer, or Ludwig Won Romayer. under
which name he was known as the manager
OF the International Bureau of Private
Transactions" at San jose, and who, not
long ago was sued for 5000 damages for
attempted outrage at San Jose. His In
ternational Bureau of Private Transac-
tlOuS, through Wnlcn ne proposed 10 pro-
vide foreign noblemen with American
heiresses worth all the way up to $40 ,0oO,-
600, was so acknowledgement by the press
that he became known on the streets of San
Jose and throughout the State by reputa-
ton.
The exposure of his bureau" and the
suit commenced against him by the San
Jose woman no doubt made him despond-
ent, and prompted him to take his life.
Scarcely anything is known of Mayors
past history. He was 80 years of age and
native of Austria. He had ne known
relatives in this country. An attorney in
San Jose thinks he was of noble birth, but
an adventurer. He arrived in America
about eight years ago, but had only been
about two years in California, part of the
time as resident of Los Angeles. He was
afterward a jeweler in San Francisco, but
recently resided on twenty-acre ranch on
the Berryessa road. At the hotels in San
Francisco where he occasionally stopped,
he informed the clerks that he came to this
State from Wisconsin for the benefit of his
health. He said he had been in the lum-
Der business in Wisconsin.

AN OBJECT LESSON.

The President of the Grading Company
Inspects the Streets.
Yesterday afternoon the President OF the
Sacramento Street Grading Company, in
company with Charles Dillman, undertook
short drive around the city to inspect the
condition of our thoroughfares (?). On
Fifteenth street. south of n, they got
stalled in a quagmire, from which they
escaped only after wrenching a wheel off
the buggy. The President got an excellent
knowledge of the condition of that particu-
lar locality, by being rolled in the mud.
There were no bones broken. however, and
it is reasonably certain that, when Fiji
tenth street is improved, the property.
owners may depend upon their money be-
ing expended with due diligence and scru,
pulous attention.

For the Yolo Leyee,

A number of men were engaged yester-
day at the river front. near K street, in
running large pieces of granite from fla.
cars and loading the same on barge. The
old derrick on the wharf was pressed into
service. The barge is to be towed up the
river short distance above the bridge, to
where the levee on the Yolo side has been
considerably weakened by being under
mined somewhat and washed badly. The
granite will be unloaded in this place to
prevent possible break in the leyee.

CONSTITUTING LANGUAGE
A Nice Point Raised by an Attorney in
the Police Courf

A Nice Point Raised by an Attorney in
the Police Court.
In the Police Court yesterday, during
the trial of Dominica Montanaro, charged
with forcible entry and detainer, the pros
ecuiing witness Living stated to the Court
how the defendant drove him from his
room in his (defendant'sl lodging house,
the rent of the room for month having
been paid by the complaining witness, E.
c. Hart, attorney for the defendant, ad.
dressed the Court and argued that convic-
ton could not be had on the charge pre-
ferred. He then read Section AIS of the
Penal Code, under which the complaint
had been drawn. 1t was as follows;
Every person using or procuring, encourag-
ing, or assisting another to use any force or
violence in entering upon or OBTAINING any
lands or other possessions of another. except in
the cases and in the manner allowed by law
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
Mr.. Hart claimed that according to the
war3ing of the section, the person who
forcibly elects the other is not guilty, but
that the guilty party is a third person,
who would be using, procuring, encourag-
ing, or assisting another 10 use, force or
violence" etc.
City Attorney Church held that the
statute did not mean the the word using
should be connected with the word AN
other :" or, in other words, that If the par
tlciples procuring, encouraging and assisting
be left out, the section could be read
Every person using another TO use any force
or violence" etc., but that the proper con-
struction would be: Every person using
force and violence" etc.; or, if inserting
the other psrticiples: Every person pro-
curing encouraging or assisting another 10
use any force or violence, etc.
Judge Buckley at first was inclined to be-
lieve that Mr.. Harris claim was right, on
account of the peculiar wording, but he
afterwards changed his mind, and held that
Mr.. Church's construction of the meaning
was correct.
The case was very trifiipg one, and but
for the point raised would have been dis
posed of in a few minutes. As il was, the
defendant was discharged upon promising
that he would refund what money was due
the defendant, the latter stating that be
wceid not go TO the house to stay out tbs
month.
