Brutal Murder on the
Water Front.
)NE WOMANS AWFUL FATE.
The Supposed Murderer Is
Safely in Custody.
PROCESSES UTTER IGNORANCE,
But the Police Believe They Have
Without Doubt Captured the
Guilty Man.

a horrible murder was committed In the
rear of the Grizzly Bear Saloon. II East
street, last night
a woman about so years of age. whose
name is unknown, was stabbed to death
and left dying in the little apartment by a
man who is supposed to be Martin O'Neil.
chief of the galvanizing department of the
Union Iron Works.
O'Neil entered the saloon with the
woman about o'clock in the evening and
called for drinks. They retired to the
room in the rear and remained there for
several hours.
About midnight one of the proprietors.
whose suspicion was aroused, went into
the room, and as he entered heard a door
leading 10 an alley close.
The woman was lying uncons cious upon
the floor. A pool of blood flowing from
wounds in her abdomen and thighs sur
rounded her.
The patrol wagon was summoned and
she was sent to the Receiving Hospital.

his friends pursued the man who had left
the dying woman on the floor.
They captured him and turned him over
to the police.
He said his name was Martin O'Neil;
that he lived at the Potrero, and that he is
employed in the Union Iron Works.
He is short rather corpulent man, with
boated face, redeemed by iDtoxica.ion.
He declared that he met the woman and
took her into the place to drink, but could
not recollect what had taken place be-
tween them there. O'Nen's shirt sleeves
were covered with blood and there were
CORY stains upon his coat and vest.
No wearons were found upon him and
he was thrown nto the tanks of the City
Prison.
He will probably be charged with mur-
der to-day.
When ONiel was searched in the prison
papers were found upon him showing that
he had lived in Oakland, and that his wife
had been divorced from him on account Of
his cruelty.
" -NeIls lace was scratched in several
places and blood was found under the
finger nails OF the woman.
An examination of the body at the
Morgue failed to disclose the name OF the
victim.
The only clew was furnished by ring,
On the interior of which were engraved
the letters *. j."
The proprietor of the saloon says the
woman was freqnenter of his place and
was there known as Kitty"
Some small change. key, breastpin
and return ticket to Oakland were the
only articles found upon her.
This ticket would seem to Indicate that
she had come from Oakland with O'Neil.
The saloon-keeper also said that he had
heard that the woman was the daughter of
some Judge, but he had forgotten the
name and could only recall that it began
with the letter "B."
