H e Leaves san Pedro for San FfaH -
slscO.
There is now very little doubt as to
the safety and whereabouts of the miss
ing man, Munro Lyman Dyer, who dis
appeared 20 mysteriously on New Years
Day, as definite information has been re-
ceived that he was in San Pedro on
the night of the LIST inst, and left for
San Francisco the came evening on the
steamer Los Angeles. II was accident
ally learned that telephone message,
signed "Nyman," had been received
over the wires at the Sunset Office in this
city from San Pedro, on the evening of
January L. This message was addressed
to Mr.. w. A. Bell, Athena. street., and
was to the following effect = M. T., Dyer
is in San Pedro, alive and we'll. Can't
get home for three or four days. N.Y.
man." The message did not reach it's,
destination until last night, and the ex-
cuse offered for its non-delivery was that
the messenger dispatched with it could
not find the street designated. Had it
been delivered the chances are that
Dyer could have been communicated
with, and the whole strange affair ex-
planned; but the matter has reached an
almost inexpIicable phase, and the pres
ence of Dyer alone can dispell it.
1t was ascertained that he entered the
telephone Office at San Pedro in very
excited state, accompanied by tall in
dividual who was extremely calm and
self-possessed, who appeared to exer-
else good deal of control or Influence
over his companion. His identity, how
ever. has not been explained.
An amusing incident in connection
with the case occurred yesterday, a.
clairvoyant, named Mrs. Dexter, who re-.
sides at 300 Virginia avenue, Boyle
Heights, having telephoned to the Chief
of Police that she could explain the
mystery. She stated that she had ex-
perienced vision, wherein she saw
Dyer walking along the street apparently
we'll, mentally and physically. As she
watched him, he was suddenly seized by
a mental paralysis. which caused him to
lunge forward and strike his head
ground insensible, and shortly afterwards
CHANGING round cautiously, he picked, ND
the PROSTATE form of Dyer and carried it
off to an alley, where he searched the
pockets of his victim, after which he
again shouldered his burden and finally
dropped it into cesspool in the rear of
910 San Fernando street.
AS Sunday is an off-day with the able
detective force, two Of its mem bers were
dispatched to investigate the cssspool
mentioned by Mrs. Dexter; but on ar
rival at 9l0 San Fernando street they
were somewhat nonplussed on discover
ing that there was no cesspool at all in
the rear of the address given. In order
to get at the bottom of the affair the
officers called UPON Mrs. Dexter in per-
son, and, in order to assist the myrmidons
of the law as much as possible, she i'm
mediately went through all the usual
contortions known to the sisterhood when
in trance. The result of her consulta-
tion with her familiar, whom she des-
ctibed as Pueblo woman, was almost
similar to that which she had expert
enced before; and as the detectives left
her house she promised to consult the
spirits again and inform the Chief of the
knowledge impaired to her, this morn
ing.
