"GOOD=BY, FRANK. !"
Lurid Tale of a Printers
Suicide.
Man Who Cared More for a
Bottle of Whisky Than His
Friend.

A man laboring under heavy job stum-
bled up the steps leading to the Coroner's
Office yesterday morning, staggered ap to
where Deputy Coroner Jones was sitting
and huskily inquired if a body had been
found floating in the bay since Wednesday
afternoon.
Being answered in the negative he asked
to be shown any cases that might be rrpos-
ing on the slabs, as he felt sure that his
friend Charley Pfarr must be one of them.
The deputy mildly asked him why he was
under such an impression.
well. I'll tell yon,' he said. as he settled
into chair and wiped away tear with the
back of his hand. "My name is Frank
Everett and me and Charley Pfarr were
great friends.
I'VE are both non-union printers and yes
terday morning we took a boat at the foot
of Fourth street to row over @ Oakland TO
look for job there.
Before starting we had several drinks,
and took bottle of whisky with us. When
we were off Goat Island Pfarr stood up,
reached for the bottle of whisky and, alter
taking drink. said 'GO0d-by, Frank and
jumped overheard with the bottle clutched
in his hand.
Il hated to see so much good stuff lost and
made grab for the bottle as Charley sank.
With that the boat capsiZsd and l went
down. When came 20 the surface l caught
hold Of tue boat and pulled myself up till l
got astrde OF its bottom.
Il yelled for help, when an Italian fisher
man came along and offered TO row me
ashore If | paid him for it. i had only 80
cents in my pockets and had to give it up,
which left me without a bean TO buy a
drink.
u don't think Charley came to the sur
face once and must be drowned as like
myself, he couldn't swim.
Now have come here expecting to find
Charley's body and the bottle OF whisky.
ltisn't Charley's loss that's troubling me, IFS
the loss of the good whisky. Pm in hard
luck, amt ?"
Deputy Jones patted him on the head and
tried to comfort him with the assurance
that his friend would De found in the land
OF the living but 1t only added fuel to his
sense OF injury al the loss of the whisky.
HE was a hog" he said angrily, ''or he'd
never have taken the bottle with him.
Now" he concluded, as lie painfully rose to
his feet, 'if Charley's body is found and
he's still holding Oh to the bottle remem be r
Eve half interest in the whisky, and don't
you forget it,"
Everett said that Pfarr was blonde,
with light mustache and beard. There is a
printer in the city named Pfarr answering
the description, but he was seen on the
streets yesterday and Indignantly denied
that he committed suicide in the bay while
drunk, neither did lie know a printer OF the
name of Everett.
EYeretps clothes were wringing wet, and
1t is supposed that lie had fallen asleep
somewhere on the water front while drunk
and got soaked with rain during the night
But what is puzzling the Morgue officials is
why be should come to them with such a
lurid story unless he had dreamed il while
the rain was pattering on him.
