The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1893-09-22

1t was reported that during the CONVEX
the nature of the defense was decided
upon. They will endeavor to show that
DR.. West treated Miss Gilmour for NAL
practice and that he did not perform the
criminal operation that caused death. but
took hold of the case when the patient
was suffering from an operation performed
by herself or some physician.
AT the Inquest in the case OF the young
girl, Agnes E. Smith, in July last this was
the story told by DIR. West to screen him.
self from his criminal act.
The doctors wealth was generally COM
mented upon yesterday and the fear was
expressed that il would prove a potent
factor in defeating the ends of justice.
The case of DR.. S. II. Hall was talked Of
in this connection. On April %. 1891. DIR.
Hall was arrested on the charge of muir
dering Ida Shattuck, young girl from
Cousa. by means of n criminal operation
performed on March 81 previous.
On June he was held to answer before
the Superior Court and his bonds were
fixed at $4,000.
His trial came on before Judge murphy
on September % and the jury disagreed.
Since then, now two years ago, the case
has been dragging on, and the probability
is that it will never be tried again. How
ever, on September 80 it will come once
again before Judge Daingerfed TO be set
for trial. and possibly the public excite
ment over the Gilmour case may have the
effect of stirring up the powers that be TO
some definite action.

WHO is q" JACK ?v

The only thing still u1sOlved is the
identity of the young man who is be-
lleved TO Miss GiImour's betrayer. During
her stay in this city Miss Gilmour spoke to
some of her friends of a young man with
whom she was corresponding. She re-
ferred to him simply as Jack. And since
her disappearance a letter signed Jack"
has fallen into the possession of her
brother-in-law. w. K. de Jarnette. Among
Miss Gilmour's acquain tances was rail-
way mail agent on the Los Angeles di-
vision, who was Familiarity known as
Jack" An effort was made last night to
find out this mail agents identity from
supposed friends of his in this city, but
they protested toIknow nothing about him.
One of those most prominently men,
toned in connection with Miss Gilmour is
Harry Buster, wealthy young farmer of
Colusa. He is known to have been on very
friendly terms with her and was frequently
seen in her company in this city.
One day recently Buster. accompanied
by Miss GilmOur. entered Wakelee's drug
store, corner of Bush and Montgomery
streets. Another young man from COlusO.
John Mogk. was in the store at the time,
and Buster and Mogk are said to have had
some high words about her. Buster, who
was In the city only few days ago.is said
to know who Jack" is and the police may
ask him for inforE: alton on the subject,
although they do not seem to bother their
heads much about who the young man was
as his identity is not material to their case
against DR.. West.

At which the doctor looked very wise
and smiled intelligently.
But | guess il won't go so far as the
hemp or even the penitentiary. There is
no evidence against me-none-to convict
any man on, though when man is down
it is hard to tell what may come"
You speak of two Sides" was sug-
gested to the doctor. Would you care to
give your side of the story? That is just
what the world is waiting for"
"Oh. no;" and DR.. West looked very
knowing. THAT will come out in the
trial. suppose; not now, however.
II will say nothing about this case. for
my attorney advised me TO be strictly
silent about /. You may see him. though
that won't do any good, think.
"Ihere is saying in the Biole to the
effect that the truth is not best to tell on
all occasions.
II suppose that means that you should
not tell the truth when it does not suit.
"Or, rather, be silent altogether" was
added.
'Be silent, or what you will" and he
laughed without much gusto.
DIR. West has been well drilled by his
counsel, and said he: LET them do the
talking; that's what they are paid for
That is their business"

THE DOCTORS WIFE.

There is one fact in connection with DR..
West which possibly explains why he was
so DESTROYS of postponing his marriage to
the girl Staley. He gave out that it was
because another woman with whom he had
been intimate had threatened to murder
him should he marry.
This may be true, but there is apparently
a much stronger reason and that is the
doctor is already married. At least he
lived with woman for a year in a house
on Grove street, between Cough and Oc-
tavia, where they spoke of each other as
husband and wife, and afterward lived at
SO Turk street.
The woman bore at least one child to the
doctor, but it died in infancy about two
years ago. Friends of Mrs. West say that
the doctor used latterly 10 treat her most
cruelty, and she often complained to them
with tears in her eyes that their baby's
death was due to her husbands lack OF
care and treatment. 1t had been suffering
from a fever and tie doctor would not
prescribe for it.
Mrs. West was in the habit of sitting in
the waiting-rOom Cf the doctors surgery
on Turk street, and she was driven mad
with jealousy by his affectionate attentions
to most of his patients. 1t was habit of
his to follow them to the lobby, where his
wife could not see him, throw his arms
around their neck and kiss them passion
ately. Some of them resented his undue
familiarity, but others, afraid of exposure
by placing their reputation in the doctors
hands. had to tamely submit TO his kisses
and caresses.
The doctor, when questioned by his pa
TENTS about his cruel treatment of his wife,
always denied that she was his wife, and
said she had no claim upon him. This
was when he had become tired Of her. But
the fact remains that for the year they
lived on Grove street they were known as
Mr.. and Mrs. West.
The woman was a Mrs. Kennedy. Her
husband kept hotel in the country, and
after his death she sold out and came to
this city with West and her little girl
about eleven years ago. At least they
lived together at Iwenty-ninth and Mis-
sion streets in 1882 and 1883 while West
was a clerk in a drugstore near there, At
that time she was known as Mrs. Ken

surprised to learn of other pieces being
found at different points oE the beaches.
The murderer had planned in his own
mind how to dispose of the body, but he
did not understand how tn do it in such a
way that the evidence of his crime would
not rise against him.
You ask how it happens that the he ad
was mutilated. Well. suppose that the
murderer and dissect0r had an idea that
the head might after time float. so he cut
off the ears, removed the scalp and flesh
from the face to prevent Identification. but
he did not go far enough, for he left i'm
Dortant marks which the officers have
worked upon, and which will fully estab-
llsh the identity of the murdered WON an,
and prove the most important link in the
chain of evidence, as it will establish the
most essential point which the prosecution
will have to establish, the death of Miss
Gilmocr'

WHAT WILLTHE DEFENSE BE?

The police authorities were under the
impression that DR.. West was conn para
lively speaking, a poor man; but yester-
day morning surprise was in store for
them.
He had sent for Attorney J. N. +. Will
son, who was accompanied by Ex-Governor
Solomon. After they bad conversed with
the doctor for few minutes he sent a
request to Chief Crowley to be allowed to
go 10 the Peoples Home Savings Bank,
where be had money in the safe vaults.
His request was granted, and Detectives
Cody and Crockett went with him to the
bank. His box WAS filed with green backs
and gold, and he gave the amount as be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 On returning
to the prison he gave Attorney Wilson a
retainer of $4,000 and told him he had
$4,000 more ready to give him when neces-
sary.

murder; arrested by c. J. Cody, c. Crock
EFT and j. H. Cohn on Turk street"
The doctor was not apparently disturbed
when he heard that he was held under
such grave accusation. He returned to
his present quarters in the tanks" and
smiled against fate. though his pleasant
ness bad forced gayety in it and an un-
dercurrent of deep trouble was evident.
Aud yet the doctor has hopes, Astounding
hopes, coming no doubt from his faith In
his counsel.
Pm very comfortable under the cir
cumstances," he said, glanring around at
the gaudily painted but clearly walls. and
well-scrubbed floor. Il don't know how it
will be If | get to the penitentiary-though
guess it won't go so far as that-will il ?'
well, if they will down me and the
worst comes | suppose l must swing.
Well, what Of it? Let il come; | don't

story. But there's two sides to every
story"

positive manner that it was settled beyond
