IN DEEPER DOUBT.
The Coroner Investigates
the Parker Case.
RESULT OF THE INQUEST
But Little That is New Is Developed,
and the Mystery Is Not Yet
Explained.

a little mite of woman sat in the
Coroner's Office yesterday, dressed in SOM
Der garb, while wealth of golden hair
peeped out from unuer the fringe of Grape,
disdaining to be restrained, and the black
and tie gold framed the picture of her
pallid features and sunken eyes, and the
heart of every beholder was moved with
pity.
With trembling tones and hating sylla-
bles she tried to tell the story of her sorrow,
but she spoke more as one just awakened
from some dreadful dream. and which,
though frightful, was yet half forgot item.
1t was Mrs. r. w. Parker. or as she her
self testified. Mrs. W. 4. Prescott, the
widow of the man who sent bullet crash

in the Grand Hotel, on last Wednesday
afternoon.

done Ms. Parker expects to 60 East.
Ihe officers are looking after the matter
OF transportation, and it is the intention
that Mrs. Prescott will start for Now York
at once.
She has friends there in the theatrical
profession and has already written them to
expect her. and she hopes 10 secure an en-
gagement there Immediately with a CON-
pany which Will visit this coast during til Q
coming season.
Secretary Hare of the Masonic board of
relief telegra Pied to New York asking for
information in reference to the deceased,
who had claimed TO be a Mason. All the
aliases used by the suicide were sent. Last
night an answer was received. 1t stated
that the deceased was not known to the
Masonic fraternity of New York or Chi
cagO.
The remains Of the suicide still repose
on slab at the MOrgue and if not claimed
by Monday they will be turned over to the
city undertaken for burial.

WANTS AN ACCOUNTING,
Two Ladies Who Prefer to Act as
Their Own Trustees.

Suits for an accounting which involves a
large amount of money were filed in the
Superior Court yesterday by Mrs. Edith
Lindsay and Alice Bonner against The
stepfather. Frank LOGAN.
LOGAN was the trustee of the estates of
both plaintiffs, and it is charged that he
has been very careless in the management
of the property, as well as negligent of
their in terests. In the case of Mrs. Lind
say, for whom LOGAN acted as trustee
from March. 1885, TO March. 1898. it is
claimed that he received S1O3669 20 alto
gether on her behalf, of which he ex-
pended on her account some $50, 900 odd
Mrs. Lindsay wishes to ascertain how the
balance was disbursed She claims that

Mrs. Lindsay. her sister, Alice Bonner
and brother, Charles Bonner, each an in
tPreSt of one-fOurth in his ranch, without
at the time specifying any particular sum
that he intended to charge for that in
terest. But in February. 1893, LOGAN, in
rendering an account of his agency to Mrs.
Lindsay, charged her S35.000 for that one
quarter interest in the ranch. which Mrs
Lindsay claims to be an exorbitaEt charge,
as the interest in question is not worth
more than $4,000. She therefore seeks an
accounting from her stepfather. and asks
that he be required to surrender to her all
her property wi ich is under his control.
Miss Bonner, who files TIE other suit,
makes similar allegations against her STEP
father. She claims that LOGAN acted as

new points in the story, except that he
thought the pistol had been concealed at
the head Of the bed, and that be was quite
certain that it was not in the trunk.
After five minutes del0eration the jury
agreed that R. W. Parker came To his
death from bullet wound CT the brain,
and that it was self-nflced, with suicidal
intent. while the deceased Vas laboring
under great mental strain. Coroner
Hughes approved the verdict, which salts

THAT CORRAL" STORY.
Collector Quinn's Plan to Compel
Registration.


The dispatch from Washington about
the anti-Chinese zeal of John c. Quinn
wanting to corral the Chinese az ths
time the Geary law went into effect, on
May ., is easily explained, though his ene-
niles ars endeavoring nightly TO make 1t
apne IT that it was a case of offensive partl-
sanship. instead of simple performance of
duty.
One Of the requirements of the Office of
collector OF Internal Revenue, under the
law, is that tie incumbent shall see to it
mat all the Chinese In his district are reg
istered. and Mr.. Quinn, supp0sing that tn
law was about to be enforced. merely Sug-
gested feasible method by which the
Chinese OF this city would be compelled To
register. His plan was 10 have a guard
placed around Chinatown. declaring all
Mongols within its confines to be under
arrest. Such an idea was naturally sug-
gestpd by the fact that the jails and places
oil detention at the Governments COM
mand would be inadequate, of course. to
hold all the Chinese who might be ar
rested, were the law to be enforced. It is
this which has been distorted into the
corral story.
The following letter relative to Mr..
Qnlnn,s prospects was written to Secre-
tary Carlisle by Senator Perkins, Repre-
sentatlves Loud. Hilborn and Bowers.
Hon. John G. Carlisle. Secretary Of the Treas.
ury-DEAR SIR: We have been Informed that

A sentence of eight years Imprisonment
at San Quentin at hard labor and fine of
$1,000 was imposed by United States Dis
trict judge Morrow yesterday morning
upon Paolo Viscounte, the first of the
North Beach and Stockton gang of counter
letters to be found guilty. ViscOunte has
been fourteen mon tbs in Jail already.
An eloquent appeal by his attorney. Mr..
Spinetti, proved of NJ avail. and the severe
sentence was a painful surprise to the
prisoner, whose character, according to
his attorney, had been good up to the time
of his falling in with Giovanni Abbat.
This makes the second of the gang TO be
sentenced. James Smith pleaded guilty
some times ago and received light SEN
tence. From day to day it has been ex-
pected that Charles NJ. Murray's case

guilty day before yesterday, Will probably
be sentenced Monday. Fred Marsh is
being used as a witness, and Matt Jones
cannot be located.
