DE WlNTON'S TALE
He Will Endure ObIOQuy
for a Lady.
Fire Marshal Towe Will Consul,
His Attorney To-Day as to
Future Action.

Fire Marshal Towe and Detective Hand
lev have concluded their searching invest-
CATION of the building at 1141 Dolores
street, which was set on fire at an early
hour last Sunday morning.
'We have collected all the evidence we
require" said the Fire Marshal last even
ing, "and have Withdrawn our waichman
anu given De Winton permission to do
whatever he likes with tie building. lie
has already ordered lumber to shore up
The building SO as to prevent its being
blown down.
"To-morrow morning / will lay the
whole facts gathered by Detective Hand
ley and myself before my attorney, and
will be guided by his advice as to what
course we shall follow.
I'VE have already made public all that
we feel justified in doing at present, but
when We AXE the decisive step nothing
will he withheld. | can say that we are
more than satisfied with the result of our
Investigation. which has been most thor
ough."
De Winton is endeavoring to prove an
alibi. He has stated 10 his friends that he
spent Saturday night with a married LADY,
but with a chivalrous regard for the lady
he SAYS he will keep her name secret,
even though he should have to bear the
disgrace of being pOiD ted at as suspected
-
II would be the means of breaking up two
families.
DE also told his friends that after leav-
ing the lady he went to the saloon of Geb-
hardt 81 Graner, 921 Market street. left
there aroul l O'clock Sunday morning and
went straight to the Abbotsfori saloon. %
Eddy street, kept by Lauriston and Ross,
where he remained for two hours.
This looks all righ: but there are one
or two flaws in il. Nil Graner says he
was at the bar of his saloon from 6
O'Clock Saturday night ill l O'Clock
Sunday morning, but he did not see De
w ntOn in the saloon.
MIR. Lauriston says De Wintou came to
his saloon shortly after 1 o'clock
Sunday morning and remained till 3
O'Clock, when be left for home. This is
the only confirmation of his statement.
When he was interrngated on Sunday
morning by the Fire Marshal he said he
had been downtown spending the evening
with Sam Rainey. "King" McManus and
other politicians.
De Winton's friends, although staggered
by the discoveries made by the Fire Mar
shal and Detective Handley, believe that
he will he able to clear himself from the
suspicion at present thrown upon him.
Whether their faith will be justified re-
mains to be seen.

Incidentally it may be mentioned that
Mr.. Crit.enton, was mentioned as an in.

Montgomery, after the latter had secured
the valuable mine. The Sterretts and
their attorney. Mr.. Ellis, believe that Crit

Rev. S. Il. Sterrett he had paid Montgom-

Dennetts connection is not quite so clear.
although he is supposed to have paid Mont
gomery over S20,00 for an interest. This
would give the latter over $50, COO, in addi-
ton to his own interest. and meanwhile
the Sterretts are in need of the bare neces-
sites of life.

REV. III. A. WEBB'S DEATH.
TOW an Evangelist Lost His Life
for a Friend.

touching story is connected with the
ieath Of Rev. Fl. A. Webb. the evangelist.
who was buried at Laurel Hill Cemetery
on Tuesday last
The deceased, who was only so years of
age, was a native of Bristol. England,
where he graduated at the Theological
College five years age. No sooner had he
oeen ordained than he began TO devote
himself to the work of evaneeliZing. first
IN Canada and afteTward in the United
states. For the past two and half years
he was associated with Rev. ID. Ii. Reid,
his brother-n-law, and together they la
bored very successfully in Montana.
Washington and British Columbia. For
this autumn aud winter they had planned
campaign through Oregon and CaliIor-
MIA.
Part of Mr.. Webb's continued success
was. no doubt, owing to the fact that he
owned a remarkably fine tenor voice,
which had won for him the title of the
Singing Evangelist"
Last month he was holding meetings at
llwaco, Wash. just at the time James ID.
MORRISON, the banker, mysieIiOusly dlSap-
peared, and Mrs. Morrison, as a natural
consequence, was overwhelmed with the
suspense and anxiety OF not knowing
what calamity had befalen her husband.
Al last word was brought that the missing
banker had been seen in Sacramento, and
the distracted wife, unable 10 induce any
OF her fr ends to 60 on the trail of the lost
man, appealed to the evangelist
Mr.. Webb was so touched al her story
that he volunteered to go Immediately and
try 10 Locale Morrison. Leaving his young
wife and an infant girl months old no
set out on his errand OF mercy, but al
though be exhausted his some hat frail
strength in searching that city and the
vicinity, he was unable to meet with any
trace OF Morrison. Just as he was about to
abandon his unsuccessful search the evan
gelst was stricken with violent typhoid
fever, TO which he finally succumbed at
Sunol. Cal. Mean while the banker had
been located at his sisters home i'm Ohio,
where he had arrived in an uEsUuud state
of mind, so that the deceased's relatives
have the added sorrow of knowing that
the search, which cost the evangelist his
lie, was vain one.

UNGUARDED WHEELS.
The Railroad Blamed for James A.
Erichette,S Death

Among the first victims of the Southern
Pacfic's electric cars on Mission stree,
was James A. Frichette, young book
keeper, who lived at SO Powell avenue. he
attempted to board car that was in mo.
tion early on the morning of September 25
and was thrown under the unguarded
wheels. His legs were crushed by the
heavy car, aud he was taken to st. Luke's
Hospital. where he died a few DAYS later.
A Coroner's jury investigated Frichette's s
death yesterday, and obtained abundant
evidence that the car was moving at a
very high rate Of speed. and that the law
requiring guards TO be placed around the
wheels OF all streetcars was disregarded
In its construction.
The jury returned the following verdict:
mat deceased came to his death through
carelessness on his part In attempting to
ooaro moving car and through the pegll-
gence OF the Marketstreet Railway Con-
pany In not having the proper guards on

FEARS FOUL PLAY.
James McAndrews Wants His Wife's
Death Investigated.

Death Investigated.
Young Mrs. Amelia McAndrews, wife
OF James McAndrews, brass-molder.
living at 547 Folsom street. died last Sun
day morning under what her husband
claims are peculiar circumstances. He
has applied 10 Coroner Hughes for an in
vestgatoD.
1t appears, according to young Mean
drews. that he and his wife married
against the wishes of the girls mother,
Mrs. Martin. The couple were of ifferent
religious faiths. but had run together"
for five years before they got Justice of
the Peace Shook of Oakland to perform
the marriage ceremony binding them as
one. That was in January, 1892. and
since then McAndrews has been having
varying fortunes, and his wife has lattsrly
lived with her mother at $50 Folsom street.
McApdrews frequently took her out upon
little expeditions. but always had to CON-
bat the disiikes Of his mother-in-law.
On Saturday last he was surprised to
learn that his wife was i'll and went to her
residence. He says he heard her Shrek
ing as with pain. and when he asked DR..
Kearney, VINO attended her. the nature of
her trouble was informed merely that her
case was well-nigh desperate and that an
operation might be necessary.
On Sunday morning the girl died, and
McAndrews declares that che cause of
death as officially told him at the Health
Office was Od-ppisoning." He was
also informed ex-offically that the girl had
foamed at the mouth in her last agony.
McAndrews' grievance does not end
here. He says be was twice arrested with
out justification for disturbing the peace
on Saturday. because he stood opposite his
wife's abode, aud that the cases were dis
missed without coming to trial on Mon
day. His wife's funeral, or rather :he
conveyance of the remains to a vault. he
says, was conducted with unseemly haste,
and he. the husband, was not permitted Il
last glance at his wife's face.
Another reported cause of death was
heart disease. but McAndrews says his
wits had no tendency that way, and when
he last saw her she VAS apparently strong
and hearty. She leaves baby, Of which
McAndrews is desirous of obtaining po.-
session, but his immediate anxiety is 10
ascertain the truth abont the circum-
stances surrounding his wife's death.
The Coroner will investigate the matter.
1t was learned last night that Mrs. Me-
Andrews was attended in her last illness
by three reputable physicians. who certify
that her death was caused by heartclot
and there was nothing in the remotest de-
gree suspicious about her demise.
