Tue beginning OF tho sequel TO u SehSa'
tional Case ut Fresno, California.
SAN Francisco, March l4-Richard
Heath, son of the late General Heath,
OF this city, was arrested here last
night for the murder OF Louis Il. Nc
Whittier in Fresno last August. Fred
w. Polly, now in Jail in Fresno for va.
graucy, was also charged with the same
crime. McWhir.er was a lawyer and
took a prominent part in the politics OF
that city, He was violently opposed to
certain men in that town and had many
enemies. His life had been threatened
and on that account he took out lie in
surance policies amounting TO 100000,
About 8 o'clock the morning OF August
20 last McN hirter was aroused by
noises in the back yard. He went par
italy dressed aud revolver in hand TO
investigate. Less than a minute from
the time he left the house his wife
heard Il succession OF pistol shots, and
rushing out, found her husband dead
with 2 bullet in his heart. Near him
was found'a revolver and two heavy
clubs indicating that there were two
assassins.
McWhirter's friends believed he was
the victim OF a political plot, while
others, including the insurance COM
panies, said he had suicided and the
insurance companies refused to pay the
insurance on McWhirter's life. The
murder caused a great sensation
throughout the state, but nc progress
was made in discovering the murderers.
Heath "a arrested about 5 o'clock, and
when an officer told him he was wanted
on a charge OF murder he asked,
"Fresno?" The officer answered, "Yes,"
and Heath said: ~ have been ok
pecting this, but / thought the ID
thing had blown over, Heath then de-
clared that he could prove an alibI and
that he could prove by the clerk OF the
Grand Central Hotel at Fresno that he
went to bed at IL o'clock OF the night OF
August rs, and that he was asleep in his
room at the tune McWhirter was killed.
Heath says lie was McWhirter RS friend
and the theory is that McWhirter was
killed by mistake.
Among the murdered lawyers firm
friends was Joseph L. Baker, a well
known newspaper writer, who was
brought down to Fresno by McWhirter
to conduct the Fresno Erpositor in the
interest OF his faction OF the Democratic
party. Baker made many enemies by
his writings, among them Heath. The
latter resented statements made in his
presence by Baker concerning State
Senator Goucher, and in a fight which
ensued was badly whipped by Baker.
Heath swore he would kill Baker and
hunted for him the next day with a re-
volyer, but did not find the newspaper
man. Heath still sHore vengeance, but
got no opportunity to get even. About
this time McWhirter went to the noun.
tains with his wife and Baker occupied
his house during his absence. About a
week before the murder McWhirter re-
turned. Heath was working on the
Curtis ranch near Fresno and did not
know Nc Whirter. The idea is that
Heath went to McWhirter's house think.
ing Baker was there, intending to kill
him. Instead, however, McWhirter
rushed out, revolver in hand, and
Heath shot the man he called his best
friend.

Before the visitor to the Worlds Fair
sees tho exposition grounds he will
look upon that great city whose growth
Is the wonder OF the world. Prepared
to be surprised, the visitor will bc sur
prised to find how little he was prepared
for what awaited him.
Wonders will gather SO last and thick
that he will be ready to admit that the
half has not been told. Tho noble
streets, splendid structures, beautiful
parks, the rushing tide of trade, the
great work shops-all this in a city OF
Chicago's age will seem the work OF
magic.
The visitor will be disposed 10 sec
this city thoroughly, by day and by
night, and he will want to be safe in
his goings and his comings, II the
gamblers and the thugs have control OF
the city at that time the visitor will not
DO SO numerous US he would be II the
invitation to come were extended by an
orderly city in which life and property
arc under the protection Of a firm and
strong hand.
1t may as we'll DO understood now
that unless there shall be evidences Of
the intention and tho power to protect
visitors to the Worlds Fair against the
rufians Of that city and those who are
ready to descend on it, thousands will
stay away who greatly desire to SEQ the
fair.
Tho best exhibit that Chicago can
mako at the Worlds Fair, the thing that
will contribute most to the success
Of the great undertaking, is to exhibit
to the world an orderly, we'll governed
city. Tho respectable people Of the
city are now engaged in an earnest, de-
termined effort to bring this about.
Abundant SUCCESS to them.
