AFTER MISS GRAHAM'S Cash.
An other Chapter in the Notorious
Beale.Haven Case.
He Was Prepared to Secure Woman's Money,
Desert His Wife and Then Elope With
the Daughter Of Fortune.Teller.

The case against DR.. Beale- Haven.
charged with the murder OF Mary Carroll
by malpractice, is being pushed in every
direction by Detective Rogers, who has the
matter in charge. So far neither Dr. Beale
nor Lizzie Graham, charged with being his
accomplice, have been booked at the Central
station upon any charge.
On Friday night Detective Rogers took
locksmith with him and went to Dr. Ravens
Office at 22S Post street, where the lock on
his desk was picked and a bushel- basketful
OF important papers and books secured
The contents OF the papers the police re-
fuse at present to divulge.
Investigation proves that Dr. Beals-
Haven was not only specialist" in the
peculiar line that has got him into trouble,
but a gay LothariO who was planning a
grand coup, when Mary Carrolrs death
made ii necessary for him to flee from his
haunts.
Miss Lizzie Graham, to whom the doctor
has been making love for the past seven
months, Is young lady of independent
means. Some time ago she inherited an es-
tate from relatives, and In addition to consid-
cradle property. received $1,000 in cash. DR..
Beale- Haven knew of this money and
he was undoubtedly planning to secure
ii and then leave the poor girl in the lureh.
From letters discovered among the doctor s
private possessions. his plan was about as
follows: He intended TO desert the woman
known as Mrs. Nellie Haven, his wife; go
away with Miss Graham, promising to
marry her, secure her money and then de-
sert her and elope with the daughter of a
fortune-teller In this city. to whom he 10
engaged TO be married.
Considerable sympathy is felt for Miss
Graham, who was evidently the doctors
dupe and who In all probability knew little
or nothing of his real business.
1t was discovered yesterday that day or
two after Mary CarrolPs death DIR. Beale-
Haven sent a friend to the Oceanic
Steamship Company's Office and had him
purchase two cabin berths for the next out
going Australian steamer, paying therefor
$500
On the day following the doctors arrest
the same friend called at the office again and
got the money back.
Day by day the case against DIR. Beale-
Haven grows blaeker and blacker, and at
the inquest on Thursday next it is probable
that not only will enough testimony be
forthcoming 10 prove his completely in the
murder of Mary Carroll, but the man who
took the girl to the doctor will likewise be
appTebended.

pr. Hill at once went 10 the nearest tele-
phone ana notified Coroner Eyre Of the find,
and Eyre came soon afterward to the scene
and cut down the body.
Immediately after the discovery the whole
town was notified and crowd soon col
lected about the scene of the lynehing.
No one, however, appeared to know any
thing about ii, and the greatest excitement
prevailed. but the preponderance OF senti-
ment appeared to be that Torres deserved
his fate.
Sheriff Theodore Lacey left the County
Jail at 9:l5 last night, leaving his deputies.
Buckley and a guard named C0gburn, in
charge. There were but four prisoners in
the Jail al the time. Sheriff Lacey was
afraid when Torres was brought back to
Santa Ana that a lynching would occur.
This was about a week ago. AS the days
passed by, however, and nothing happened
Lacey began to breathe easier, and last
night had no thought of such a thing as
lynching. He knew nothing of the affair
until o'clock this morning, when told by a
deputy.
According to Deputy Buckley the lynch
ing took place something after the follow
ing fashion:
"Cogburn was left in charge OF the jail.
After midnight he heard noise on the
outside of the Jail, aud going out saw an
immense crowd gathered. They were all
masked. No sooner had he reached the
court than four shooting-iroHs were placed
al his head, and he was asked for the keys
of the jail. The deputy firmly refused TO
give them up. Curses, threats and 81 jura-
lions had no effect upon him, + ght mas ed
men then surrounded him and crowded him
into the jail, where they locked him IN q
room, While two men stood guard at the
door.
The masked men then, with sledge-ham-
mers and axes, broke in the iron door.
The noise awoke the prisoners and they
sent up wall Of despair, but they were adj
monished TO keep still, as they would not
be harmed.
When Torres cell was reached be was at
the bars looking out He saw the masked
men making for his quarter and he sank
back into the furthest recesses of his cell
ana began TO pray, curse and imprecate by
turns. One blow of the sledge- hammer
broke in the door. and the avengers of
blood we're upon him.
Torres fought like maniac with his as
salla nts, but was finally gagged and tied
hand and foot, and in that condition was
taken out and strung up to the uearest tele-
graph pole.
1t is curious thing that at 10 o'clock last
night the lariat that was subsequently, used
by the lyncheIs was dangling from this
pole, showing cOncusiYeiy that every de-
tail was prearranged and carried out accord
Ing 10 programme.
Torres was given 10 time to pray. AS
soon as he was taken to the pole the moose
was adjusted and many willing hands pulled
away on the rope.
Thus ended the first lynching of white
man in Southern California.

Torres logged the captain as he went

opportunity, dealt him a terrific blow on
the head With the club. The skull was
crushed and deep cash cut in the scalp.
After the captain had fallen the murderer
repeated the blow.
Fearing that his victim was not dead the
Mexican stopped down, raised the left arm
and plunged an ugly-lOOking knife through
the left side into the heart. The murderer
