SHE TOOK MORPHINE.
Mrs. Casper QuarreIs With Her Hus-
band and Attempts Suicide.
She Objected to Living With Her Hus-
bands Parents and Says She
Was Unhappy.

Mrs. Joseph w. Casper, who resides at
o14 p street, attempted to commit suicide
by taking poison last night, but was pre-
vented from taking fatal dose by her
husband.
The couple live at the residence of the
husbands parents, and have been mar
ried ten years. AS soon as Mrs. Casper
had swallowed the poison, one of the boys
in the house rushed out to summon a
doctor and on the way met officer Gibson
and told htm about it. The latter tele-
phoned to the police station and asked
that a physician be sent to the place.
Officer Gibson, special Mclaughlin
and RECoRD-UNIoN reporter then hur-
ried to the house and found the woman
lying on a bed in her room. The hus-
band was sitting by her side. She was
IN A sTUPoR
And hardly able to articulate, but after a
few minutes rallied and told her story.
Her husband Joined in the narrating, and
between the two the history of their lives
since they were married was detailed
rather minutely.
They were married ten years ago inrthe
East, and after living there for several
years they quarreled, and the husband
concluded to leave her and come
to California. She remained in Ne
braska with friends until last August,
when at the solicitation of Casper, she
started for this State to live with him
again. She claims that he promised not
to take her to the home of his folks, but
when she arrived he told her that they
would both have to stop at his fathers
house. There was no serious disruption
until Thursday night when husband and
wife quarreled. Yesterday morning Cas-
per went to his work as usual at the estab-
lishment of Postel & Schnerr, and his
wife started down town about 10 O'Clock
in the morning. She returned at noon
and remained alone in her room during
the rest of the day. She WAS called to
supper but made no answer. After Cas-
per had finished his meal, he went up to
the room and the quarrel was renewed.
In the midst of it, Mrs. Caspar seized a
paper OF
MORPHINE POWDER,
Which was lying on the table and began
to pour the drug into her mouth. Her
husband knocked the poison from her
hand after she had taken considerable
quantity, and prevented her from swal-
lowing any more of it. Mrs. Casper saws
that her husband has not treated her
right. She says she told him she did not
want to live with his parents, but she had
to give in, when she found she was alone
and without friends in this State.
She says she felt bad because he always
sided" with his parents against her.
Casper's father says his sons wife
drinks freely, and will not accept the
good advice of anybody.
Mrs. casper was out OF danger last night
at last accounts. She refused to tell of
ficer Gibson where she bought the NOR
phine.

SAN FRANcIsco, Jan. 16.-The suit in
the Superior Court brought by Alvinza
Hayward and others for the recovery of
moneys paid to the Aguayos brothers, of
Mexico, III the purchase of the Mulatos
mine, has been dismissed.
1t appears that Mr. Donde, Mexican
| lawyer wrote to Mr.. Hayward early in
the present month, stating that the
Aguayos We're willing to make a settle
ment, and requesting that IN authorized
agent be sent to Mexico to arrange mat
ters. Captain G. Egan was sent as agent,
and agreed on basis of settlement. The
Aguayos agree TO pay Messrs. Hayward,
Hobart and Crockcr 81 ,427 900 or the pur-
chase money and 100000 out of the output
OF the mine since they have controlled IT..
The Aguayos retain Sl52, 900 in cash.
Before the mine was purchased by Hay
ward and his colleagues, several experts
| went to Mexico to examine it. They took
out during the daytime sacks OF ore,
| which were sealed up in bags and locked
| up in an adobe house at night They
| claimed that the Mexicans managed to
gain entrance to the house, and, despite
the fact OF the bags being sealed, con-
triyed to insert {; small funnel through
| the mouths, and thus introduced quanti-
ties of fine goltr dust. Naturally, when
the ore went through the mill, the yield
was rich, and Hayward Il Co., in Septem-
Der, 1889, paid to w. Loaiza, of this city,
as the Aguayos' agent, S7l0,000 in cash
and SS65. 900 in promissory notes.
When superintendent Montgomery
| went to work the mine he Immediately
informed his principals that the ore had
been salted. Suit was then brought in
San Francisco against LoaiZa TO recover
the money paid. Haywards' notes, $780,
600 worth OF securities and 100000 in cash
were turned over by Loaiza, but S200, 900
had been loaned to the firm and the bal
ance expended on Aguayo's orders.
Loaiza disclaimed any connection with
the matter beyond acting as Aguayo's
agent.
The Superior Court appointed J. C.
Maynard as receiver and now that the
suit is dismissed, the receiver viii trans
fer all the properties in his hands TO the

ject Last Evening.

confusion in notices, there was quite a
good-sized audience to hear Miss Ban
croft speak on her chosen theme of ssDea-
conesses." The lady is an eloquent
speaker, showing high degree of culture
and a thorough mastery of her subject.
She traced the origin of the deaconess
work back to the time of the Apostles,
and, showing its decline in the Middle
Ages, pointed out the causes and sugges-
tions that led, to its revival by F1eidner
in Kaiserburg in 1886.
She spoke of the effort now being made
by the Mefhodists on the Pacific Coast to
start a deaconess home in San Francisco,
and urged her Methodist hearers to aid
practically v in promoting this good work.
Her very fine address, SO full of infor-
nation, so eloquent and so persuasive,
cannot fail to do mich good to the cause
she represents.
