WEST MAKES AVOWALS.

Attorney Wilson mas told DR.. West that
be must not talk TO reporters. as by so do
ing be might in some way injure his case,
but the doctor likes TO hear the sound Of
his own voice, ard while he attempts 10
follow the Instructions of his attorney be
occasionally lets drop bit of information
that helps to tighten the web of evidence
which the police are weaving about him.
In an interview yesterday the doctor ad-
mitted to a CALL reporter that Miss Gil
mour had died in his office, fact which he
had streDuously denied ever since his
incarceration. he also admitted having
disposed of the body, and said he thoughr
the head found at Sausalito was that of
Miss Gilmour. A few minutes before his
attorney had stated 10 several reporters
that he would prove in court that the doc
tor knew nothing of the death of Miss
Gilmour, aud did not even know that she
was dead. In the face of the defendants
admissions this line of defense cannot be
followed with any great prospect of sue
cess.
When the reporter called the prisoner
WAS pacing up and down the floor of his
narrow cell, but stopped long enough to
give smiling greeting to his visitor.
mo; l must refuse to answer any qles-
tions." he said. in reply to q query. "My
attorney has positively forbidden me To
talk and / must follow his commands"
After chatting for a while on the general
aspects OF the case and the state OF public
feeling toward him, the doctor became
more communicative. When asked il in
his opinion the young woman had died
fro 90, of Il
by herself or By some person unknown to
him. he replied:
Eyes. When she came to my Office the
operation had been performed"
"Do you think she died from the effect
of that operation ?" was asked.
Eyes. 1t was from that operation and
because of no treatment of NINE"
Then it was through no fault of yours
that she happened to die in your Officer"

you found that she had died on your
hands, and you naturally thought people
might charge you With her deathf" was
the next suggestion.
That's it exactly. When / found that
she was dead i naturally sought to save
myself from suspicion. A man will do
foolish things sometimes-things that he
regrets afterward.
What did you do with the body?"

"Were they students in any of the col
leges here?"

'You say the head found at Sausalito

"Well. its presence there is easily &C.

and who in that time has placed number
of filings in them, sets the matter at rest,
and it Is now absolutely certain that Miss
GilmOur is dead.
DIR. Stewart was telegraphed for by Mr.
de Jarnatt and arrived from Chico at mid
night Thursday. lie went over to San
Rafael yesterday morning and made a
thorough examination of the head which
was supposed to be that of the missing
girl.

said DR.. Stewart last evening, "and l

AN ACCUSING FOOT.

At an early hour yesterday morning
George II. Masters Of Central avenue, Ala
media, found woman's right foot washed
up on the beach at the Sunny Cove Baths,
between First and Second streets, West
End. Alameda. The member had been
amputated at the ankle.
Coroner Evers was notofed of Masters
find and the foot removed to the Oakland
Morgue. 1t was in fairly good condition
OF preserva ton and was clearly of so much
value as evidence that it was placed In
strong embalming solution for better
preservation. II will be used as evidence
in the trial Of DR.. West for the murder Of
Miss Ada r. Gilmour of Colusa. for this
foot is believed without doubt to be a por-
ton of the mutilated body of the dead
girl.
A shoemaker was taken into the morgue
and shown the foot and at nce pronounced
il to be not over No. 2. IL was remark
ably small, but must have been affected
by its constant contact with the water of
the bay.
The skin at the ankle had been cut by
some sharp instrument aud the disarticu-
lation of the joint had been skilfully per-
formed.
No traces. blemishes or scars could be
found on the foot that might assist in
Identification.
Coroner Evers considers this foot a
valuable piece of evidence.

this easy method of accomplishing their
purpose. Think that very plausible ex-
PLANTATION and | believe that the head was
that of Miss Gilmour."
When it was suggested that public opn-
ion had been prejudiced somewhat by the
sudden disappearance of the doctor as
soon as the head had been identified and
before his name had been connected in any
way with the case. he replied:
II did not skip out until 10 o'clock that
evening. When l read the papers on Mon
day afternoon / saw the account of the
Identification. l then went to Mr.. John
sons house al 128 Turk street, next door
to my Office. and stayed there until 10
o'clock. | formerly had my Office in John
sons house, and he is a good friend Of
mine. When l went away / exchanged
my silk hat for soft felt hat belonging to
Mr.. johnson. / did not do this for the
purpose of Disgusting myself. but because
well. don't know what [ did do it for.
l did not GO back to my office. but IL was
not because I was afraid Of being ar
rested.'
''It has been stated that you were re-
lieved of the position OF demonstration Of
anatomy at the California Medical College
because the dean was apprised of the fact
that you had performed criminal opera
ton. Is that SOP"
II suppose it is. don't admit 1t, re-
member" he quickly added. "but STU
dent told me woman had come to the COL
lege and inquired for the doctor that did
that sort of thing"
When pressed for particulars about the
missing trunk the doctor suddenly remem-
bered the injunctions of his attorney and
refused to say ANYTHING more. He was
also discreet!y silent about his connection
with Miss Annie Staley.
In speaking of this matter yesterday
Chief Crowley said: II am convinced
that the Staley girl is nothing more
than dupe OF DR.. West. Both she
and her family are very poor, and al
though the girl has been practically
DR.. Vests slave, he never gave her an
opportunity to profit by the store of gold
which he now says he has in safe depo sit
box. When we brought her here sire wore
a cheap calico dress that could not have
cost, all told, over 81, and we have since
learned that the family is in straitened
circumS tances
Now that he is in a close place the doc
tor would like TO assure himself OF the
girls loyalty, and to do that renews his
promise TO marry her. OF course if he
could do this she could not testify against
him, and possibly if she really believed
that he intended TO marry her she might
refuse to give evidence.
DIR. VESTS story that he has SIS, 900 is
fake. He may have some money, and
probably has, but no such sum. l am
strongly of the opinion that the story was
told for the purpose of influencing the
girl, who, as have said. is poor"

DISCHARGED FROM COLLEGE.

Since the arrest of DR.. West, many Incl
beats In his life that were heretofore dark
have come to light, portraying the man as
being engaged in a practice among fallen
women almost since the very day of his
graduation from the California Medical
College. The fact, however. that he was un-
tremendously discharged from his position
as demonstration of anatomy in 1891, after
service of four months, on account of his
suspicious practices among women whom
fate had directed his way, was not discoy-
cree until yesterday.
He was student in the college during
the terms of 1887, 1888 and 1889, graduating
in November Of the latter year. In Janu-
airy of 1891 he was called to the position of
demonstration of anatomy Of the college,
and given suite of rooms, handsomely
furnished, there. In these rooms he car
ried on the practice of his profession until
May of that year. when it became noised
about that his practices were not legiti-
mate. and that the major portion of his
patients were fallen women. This state
of affairs reached the ears of the faculty,
and a meeting was at once called. The
matter was talked over with the result
that it was decided he was not doing
dean of the college. wrote Dr. West a brief
mole, ordering him to vscate the rooms. as
his services were no longer required. DR..
Wilcox was engaged as his successor, and
took charge Of his Office the same month.
Speaking OF the matter yesterday after
noon DR.. Mclean said:
Il hated to discharge the man, but we
could not afford to allow any stigma to
come upon the college through him. There
was never any specific charge made
against him, but simply general one
that had, the faculty considered, very good
grounds.
II don't think there is anything in the
medical student dissection story. There is
one thing absolutely certain. and that is
That DR.. West has never visited the college
since he left it in 1891. I do not believe
that medical students would want the
body, for if they did want one it would
not be difficult matter to secure ii. II is
not possible that the body of the woman
delivered by DR.. West to medical students.
as he says, ever entered the dssecting-
room of the California Medical College.
There are only three keys to the dissect-
ing-room, one of which is in my posses
sion, one in DR.. Wilcox's possession and
one that is carried by the janitor. 1t has

Her Head Now Positively Iden-
ri. titled.
DIR. WEST APPEARS IN COURT.
New Links Connecting Him With the
Awful Crime-A Foot Washed
Ashore in Oakland.

One by one the facts surrounding the
death of Miss Ada GilmOur, the unfortu-
nate Colusa miliner, are being brought TO
light, and slowly but surely chain of
evidence is being forged that points to Dr.
Eugene West as the man responsible for
the.young womau's terrible and untimely
end.
\ Yesterday the friend to whom Miss Gil
mour confided the particulars of her secret
trouble made full statement of his con-
nection with the events leading to her
death. This friend is D. Is. Plymre. a
medical student of this city, and it was
through him that the unfortunate young
woman procured the services of the man
who is charged with causing her death.
The confession throws new light on much
that has heretofore been a mystery.
All doubt as to the identity Of the mys-
ferrous head found anchored near the
Sausalito shore was removed yesterday
when DR.. Robert Stewart, Miss Gilmour's
dentist, visited the mOrgue al San Rafael
and viewed the remains.
The filings in the teeth correspond ex-
actly with the chart of Miss GiImour's
teeth made by the dentist when he did
some professional work for the young
woman some months ago. The Identified
ton was complete in every particular. and
the little doubt remaining in the minds of
the authorities and the young woman's
relatives is now removed.
Facts have cropped up which will serve
to snow something of the previous record
of DR.. West, and there seems to be no
doubt that for years be has been engaged
in criminal practice. In his cell at the
CRY Prison yesterday he confessed that
Miss Gilmour had died in his Office at 132
Turk street and that he disposed of her
remains to two unknown men, supposed
to be medical students. This confession,
coming as it does after his repeated asser-
= tiDns that he knew nothing of the death of
the young Colusa milllner. shows that bis
close confinement is telling on his WON
derful self-possessiOn. The best men in
the Police Department are working on the
case, and by the time the doctor is brought
up Tor preliminary examination next
Tuesday the chain OF evidence will be
COMPLETE.

That Mr.. Plymire was in earnest in

young man naturally of retiring dispo-
sition and of just the temperament that
could not refuse when help was asked and
he was in position to render the assist

under which he had labored and the diff
ficulty with which he had forced himself
to give the story TO the world.
