An Interesting Denouement to
the Sciscich Tragedy.
The Suicide Leaves His Estate to the
Infant Whose Mother He Killed.
An Geographic VIII Which Was Writ
ten but Short Time Before tho
Tragedy and Which Is Re-

1t was learned yesterday that de-
cidedly sensational development had
taken place in the settlement of the es.
tate OF Luca Sciscich, who murdered his
wife and then killed himself in this city
last week.
The details Of this terrible tragedy are
too fresh in the minds OF the public to
need much repetition.
None who read the particulars can
forget 4the thrill of horror that was
caused by the description of the finding
OF the dead bodies of the wealthy old
Austrian and'his young wife bathed in
their blood, and the little 2-year-old
baby boy crawling over his mothers
dead body, calling for her to wake up.
II was an incident touching In the ex'
treme.
This baby was not Mr.. sciscich's
child, but was Mrs. Sciscich's by her
first husband. The murder OF his
mother and the suicide of his stepfather
left the infant homeless and without q
future, and there were not Anew whose
hearts were touched by thoughts OF the
lonely little orphan 60 suddenly thrown
upon the mercies of the world.
"a day or two after the tragedy the
hrst steps were taken toward the adjust
rnent of the affairs of the cruel old man.
II was taken by his nephew, John Sci
Gich, who filed petition in the superior
burt asking for the appointment Of Mr..

LOST ON CATALINA.
TRYING EXPERIENCE OF YOUNG
ROBERT LACY.
He Tried to Cross the island But Got
Lost and Suffered Greatly From
Exposure and Thirst.
The Search.

Robert Lacy has gone through re-.
markable experience. He left Avalon
on Catalina on Wednesday ut about 10
O'Clock for the other side of the island,
expecting to ovsfsaks come fSiShds who
had precededshiAis hBat he IdSdnot over.
take or see apy one, and xheH he had
walked nearly all, day he yealized that
be was alone in Aatfangs place, and did
not know in what directiohfo go.
He saw piece Of country that looked
like Avalon and started towards it. but
when it was nearly dark he found he
was mistaken, and being completely ex-
hausted dropped down ON some brush
and fell asleep.
In the night he woke up and heard
some call and answered, but could not
get out of the cafion he was in, and re-
manned there until morning. At day
break he started out again and walked
until overcome with heat and fatigue,
then, dropping down, he became uncon-
ecieus, but at about noon Thursday he
was aroused by the firing of gun and
cav two men. Going up to them he
wanted to know the way to Avalon.
They recognized him as the lost boy for
" whom they were hunting and gave him
something to eat, but he could hardly
swallow it. Water was what he wanted
and when given drink it did him more
good than anything else.
At three O'Clock the church bell rang
which was the signal that the lost boy
was found. A few moments later Rob-
ert, on horse back followed by large
procession, appeared at his home and
was given such a welcome aH only can
be accorded when one 10 returned from
danger OF death.
The mother and msmbers ofthe fam
ily are very grateful for the kindness
and assistance given. The Bannings
did their utmost in the search, and
there were parties out nearly all night
and next day. Mexican Joe played no
small part in the search and two of the
best men with him were Messrs. s. An.
derson and Harrington of the Avalon
Home hotel.
The boy is but IL years old and
showed great fortitude. He was found
by W. r. Condit and S. Oliver on Salto
Verde avenue ten miles from Avalon.

COL. HEWITT'S BOND.
HE WILL FILE A NEW ONE WHEN
TILE JUDGES RETURN.
An Episode That Is of Interest Colonel
Hewitt States His Position In the
Matter and What Led Up
to tho Situation.

The fact that Col. E. E, Hewitt, county
tax collector, is about to give a new
bond has caused some comment, and to
get at the facts of the case a HERALD re-
porter called on the colonel yesterday
and asked for statement on the matter,
which he gave as follows:
ION the first day of the recent panic
in this city drew out of the Los Angeles
Notional bank about $500 which l had
there of county money. l drew this
simply because had settlement to
make with the auditor on the first of the
month, as required by law, and l knew
that If the county money in my care was
tied up for any time, that under the pc
culiar financial conditions then prevail
ing l could not borrow the money, and |
would be prevented from making the
settlement. That Is the only reason l
drew the money out. Neither then did
l, nor since have /, believed the bank to
be insolvent, but entirely the contrary,
but also knew that if for any Temporal
ry reason l was prevented from making
the settlement the district attorney, as
required by law, would be obliged to
proceed afiainst me and my bondsmen.
However, about a couple of weeks
after that, for various reasons satisfac-
tory to myself, l concluded to file new
bond, leaving Major Bonebrake's and
Mr.. Howe's names off. After had Sc
cured nearly all the necessary sureties,
received note from Mr.. Howes ask
ing nae to call at the bank. l did so,
and during our conversation he said
that it would be more courteous in my
part to release Major Bonebrake and
himself from my bond then on file. I
told him that had already taken steps
for the filing of new bond without
those names. Some days later, how
ever, Major Bonebrake filed notifica-
tion with the judges asking to be re-
leased.
''The law requires that the bond must
be passed on by all the superior court
judges. As two OF them have been Out
of the city for some days I have been
prevented from presenting my new one
for their action, but this will be done
the moment they return.
"The law requires bond for 5000, 900
covering the penal sum of 800, 900, but
I have proposed one for $4,000 with
the following names," and the colonel
gave the reporter the list appended.
81. ]. Woollacott, 10000; T. D. Mott,
$4,000; V. V. Cochran. $4,000; G. j.
Shepherd, $4,000; W. G. Cochran,
$4,000; James F. Towel, 10000; A.
w. Ryan, $4,000; Fred Lambourn,
$4,000; s. B. Oaswell, $4,000; H. Ma
deau, $4,000; John G. Downey, $780,
900; J. M. Griffith, $20,0O0; Hancock
Banning, $4,000.
Major Bonebrake was called on
through the telephone, and said it was
true that he had filed an application to
be relieved from Colonel Hewitt's bond.
When asked what his reason was he re-
piled: ''The reason assigned in my ap-
plication was i'll health. You know l
have not been very we'll lately That
was all he would say about the matter.

WILLING TO BUY REFUSE.

A Statement from Contractors Ramlsh g
Marsh.
In regard to Ramiah & Marsh, the
garbage contractors, in reference to yes
terday's article on the condition OF the
dumping ground, the HERALD omitted
to say that although the garbage, as
stated, covered an area of quite space
and was in an unburnt condition, this
was due to the fact that it was delivered
to the crematory mixed with ashes and
other materials which could not be
burned.
Section OF their contract reads as
follows:
vegetable AID animal garbage mr. 1T
be delivered to the contractor unmixed
with ashes or other refuse matter which
cannot be burned"
The contractors. therefore, cannot be
blamed fer spreading this refuse as they
did, because it was impossible to run 1t
through their crematory. The crematory
was found in a clean condition, thor
oughly disinfected, and it is said to be

that his name was used without his

in much better condition than during
the previous years. The whole trouble
was with the dump, and this matter the
contractors have satisfactorily explained.
The position of the dump could not be
discovered by any odor which exhales
from it until the visitor is right on top
OF it.
The contractors, in an interview with
HERALD reporter, stated that they
were perfectly willing, should the coun-
Gil desire, to dig a trench, where all
future refuse could be buried.
