On Sunday, the ODD, que of the most
helnous crimes in the History of san
Francisco was committed by1pnknown
persons supposed to be metnbers oil
the coast seaman's union. ThSe crime
consisted in the blowing up the tsaiiof
clearinghouse of John Curtin~t, on
Main street, the killing of four me,e
and the manning of several Others
Two were blown to atoms and two,
died few hours later after suffering
great agony. John Curtin was wound
Ell, and his son Us years of age is not
expected to survive. The bomb was
placed in front of the house at mid
night, and exploded just as four sailors
We're about TO enter the house. Two
buildings were wrecked. Three sailors
who were found under suspicious cir
cumstances are under arrest, and the
police are confident they are the cul-
prits. They had very clever scheme
to put the blame on an innocent man,
but 1t did not work. The State, the
city, the coast seaman's union and the
shipowners' association have offered
large rewards for the capture and con-
viction OF the dynamiters, and it is
believed they will be brought to JUS
tlce. The men under arrest are union |
sailors, and the place destroyed was q |
non-union boarding house.
The waters of the bay have given |
up more evidence of the murder of |
Annie Gilmour, the Colusa milliner, |
and this time the Identification of the |
remains is complete. A large portion |
of the body was found floating in a
five-gallon oil can by boys playing on
the Alameda shore, and with the arti-
cIes found in the can, the remains
were ensily recognized by the dead
girls relatives. The alleged murder
er still declares his innocence, and
says another physician was the cause
of the girls death. However, there
seems to be no doubt of his guilt.
Annie Staley, the young woman
whom the prosecution proposed to
make strong witness against West,
has Outwitted the police by marry
ing the doctor by contract. She can
not now testify against him. The
man who was responsible for the
girPs condition has not yet been
found, but IS supposed to be wealthy
resident of Colusa.
Another tale of horror follows on
the Gilmour case and is of the same
nature. The victim was Clara Mat
,hews, beautiful country girl. She
was killed by criminal operation
and carried out of lodging house at
he dead of night. The burial took
place in the morning and the body
vas placed in the paupers field in a
'ough box. Her betrayer was Harry
]. Gray of Lincoln, and he with Dir.
]. Won Werthern and E. 2. Driscoll !
