EVER-DEEPENING MYSTERY.
He Might Have Been an Aces
sorry to the Crime.
DID CONSCIENCE TORTURE HIM ?
A. S. Hill, Who Was Concerned in
SuIlivan's Death at Vallejo,
Takes His Own Life.

VALLEJO, Jan. 21.-Another chapter in
the mystery which surrounds the murder
of d. j. Sullivan of San Francisco, who
was shot here last Tuesday evening, was
enacted at o'clock this afternoon. 4. S.
Hill, the proprietor of the resort where
the trou bic originated which eliminated
in Sulliyan's death, committed suicide by
shooting himself, sending a bullet crash
ing through his brain from 3S-caliber re-
volver.
There are many rumors atioat about the
causes which led Hill to end his life, and
the following story coming from the police
is probably most nearly correct: During
The preliminary examination of Crolly yes
terday HIPS confession proved rather
startling revelation and made very clear
case against the accused. After Hill had
left the courtroom he was seen TO enter
several saloons. and later in the evenin 9
he became somewhat intoxicated.
During the night it is claimed that
Crolly's friends went to Hill and up
braided him for going back on Crolly.
Threats were made and Hill was told that
it would be better for him to seek other
Climes. Word was conveyed TO the police
that Hill would attempt to leave town to
avoid giving testimony. but Officer Flem-
ing determined that Hill should not es-
cape.
This afternoon Fleming started out to
apprehend Hill. intending to take him to
Fairfield. but as the officer turned the
corner of Georgia and Marin streets Hill,
who was in front of his house. saw Flem-
ming approaching, end be hastily re-
entered the house, coming ont the back
way, and ran down the alley to the water
front and thence TO his sisters house at
the foot of Sacramento street.
Hill rushed into his sisters bedroom,
saying something which his sister did not
understand. Scarcely had he crossed the
threshold of the door entering the room
when the report Of pistol was heard and
the sister, rushing in, found Hill in the
agonies of death with buIlet-hole in his
head, just under the right eye. Tonight
there is a rumor here to the effect that
Hill. fearing lest he might be proven an
accessory to the crime, had concluded to
skip. as did Otto Hoffe, the plan o-player
Crolly, when he heard that Hill bad
committed suicide. said THAT settles it.
Had Hill told the truth l would not be in
this fix" Since the murder information
has been received here that Crolly, who is
accused of committing the crime is a
native of San Francisco and is the son of
parents who are well-to-do, and that sin ce
Croliy has been in Vallejo he has received
monthly remittances from home.
In police circles there is suspicion that
Hill may have had some hand in Sullivan S
murder since be dreaded being taken to
Fairfield. 1t is thought that he found that
the witnesses might turn on him in the
end TO save Croly. and that this made
him take his life. The remains were re-
moved to the Morgue tonight, Coroner 8
jury having rendered verdict in accord
aDce with the facts as stated.

A GOOD TIME COMING.
Professor Bell Pleased With the Re-

Professor Bell spoke TO a large and evil

covering the ministerial banquet which
Gently.
That there should have sat down to this
banquet In perfect good fellowship and
harmony ministers of nearly every de-
nomination in the city seemed to the pro-
lessor a happy augury. 1t proved that
the spirit of liberation is spreading and
that the era of good sense is at hand.
Evolution, moral and intellectual as well
as physical, is going gradually on, and tn e
spirit which caused men. up to a hundre q
years since. TO think man vile and i'm
piOus sinner who held up God as a God OF
love instead of God of punishment and
cruelty has died out.
Continuing, the speaker declared that
there is no conflict between true religion
and science, since the true God of both is
one and the same. The Supreme energy
which is recognized by men of science as
the controlling power of the universe is
the same Omniscien: spirit to which our
religious men and women pray.
Science is no longer atheistc," said the
professor, "fOr OF the five great scientist S
Of the day four are religious men, and fin
no contradiction between their belief an,d
the hard facts which science teaches them.
In conclusion the lecturer declared tina
the day is coming when the laws of reason
will be understood and accepted by all, and
churches will be turned into clubs, or
places for ethical teaching, and the unpro-
gressive preachers who are not in sympa-
tiny with the spirit of the age will find
themselves left behind-forced TO saw
wood or do something equally unintellec-
tual to support themselves.

A LADY PREACHER.
Mrs. Charles Peake Addresses a
Large Congregation.

Mrs. Charles Peake, lady who was
once an actress In standard dramas, but
who for the last year has been preaching
in various parts of this State. commenced
a series of special meetings last night in
the First United Presbyterian Church, Oh
the corner of Golden Gate avenue and
Polk street.
Mrs. Peake at once impressed her con-
gregation favorably. She is a striking
looking woman, with q pretty. piQuant
face that gIows with expression and
earnestness when she speaks. Her hair,
which somewhat resembles Jane Had.
ing's, WAS allowed to wave loosely over
her tenn piles. her head being surmounted
by an elegant little bonnet of emerald, Jet
and black velvet. Mrs. Peaks was well
Cowned IN black silk, and her whole ap-
pearance was pleasing and striking in the
extreme. Her voice was ringing and dra-
matte rather than sweet. and her gestures
were very earnest and impressive.
THE Lifting Up Of Christ" was the
subject of Mrs. Peake's sermon. She
quoted various texts showing the neces-
sity for an atonement, that "ali have
snDed and come short of the glory of
God" 1t behooved Christ to suffer.
There was none other good enough to
pay the price of SIM" He proclaimed
himself to be the son of God by the resur-
rection from the dead. He was raised for
our justification.
The gospel feast Is spread. full and
perfect and complete; but man is often
too blind and helpless to care to partake
OF 1t. There Is lot of philosophy. lot
OF sensational preaching. but Christ Is not
preached enough. 1t is often said that the
Christian is the sinners Bible-all be
knows of Christ Is what he sees of you
aud of ME. II he sees us with our light
hidden under the busfIel of worldliness,
inpatient. quick to anger, disco urteous
and revengetul-if our lives testify against
him. If our lives do not shadow forth his
Spirit. how can we expect the world to
know him?
1T is true Christ came to save all men.
It Is true he redeemed the world. but all
men Will not be saved; they will not give
up their sins. II is not any church or
dogma or creed that can save US, but real
living seeking for Christ. BY and by
heaven Will be filled with the praises OF
every kindred tongue and nation through
the drawing power of Christ"

Householders in the vicinity of the bat

Yesterday morning big crowd OF boys

and the two. after shaking hands in the
most approved ring style, began 10 pum-
mel each other viclously. One OF the

When the crowd began TO gather one of

sent to the scene of The fight, but as SEN
