Oh Friday afternoon listening with appa-
crime and the theories If the detectives.
Detective Ross Whitaker learned that
the murdered man formerly lodged with
Mrs. Weston berg at 535h Seventeenth
street, and was then EN- Logged with his
half brother John in a drugstore at the
corner of Seventeenth and Guerrero streets.
Mrs. Weston berg, the detective learned,
left the house on Seventeenth street and
married a German named Feusted, with
whom she is now living on Mission street,
near the corner of Twenty-sixth.
Feusted, the detective learned. was

Late in the afternoon Captain Lees re-
celved an anonymous letter written In

Wares half-brother. who, the author of
The communication alleged, was crooked
and was worth Watching" II Is supposed
that the half-orOtner is in Montana, whence
a letter was received from him some time
since by the clerk who was murdered, but
nothing is definitely known of his where
abOuts. This half-brother has a bad repu-
tation among his acquantances here.
The proprietor Of a drugstore in the
Mission who took him In as partner
about two years ago declared that
they were obliged to separate on account
of the half-brother's dishonesty, and an
Intimate friend of the murdered clerk SAYS
that the victim aud (f-brother quar-
relied and the former did not speak to the
latter, but accused him of dealing unfairly
with him.
From this friend, young medical stu
dent employed in drugstore at the cor
ner of Castro and Twenty-fourth streets,
Snme interesting Information concerning
the Wares was obtained. They were the
children of a ruined capitalist and in
ventor now dead. He ii was who tried to
float a scheme for navigating The Colorado
River by boats driven by electric power.
In his prosperous DAYS the father of the
dead clerk settled in Colorado. where the
town of Newcastle now nestles under the
mountains. He had money galore and
built for himself and family a fantastic
abode that was called 1.-THE New Castle"
by the villagers. The SO Element gradu-
ally became known as Newcastle. and
when it was Incorporated as town New
castle was chosen as its name.
Wares fortune, like that of many an
other adventurous spirit, took wings and
left him one day with little besides his
wife's property and three children
Eugene, his haf-brother John and Mrs.
Spaner. When he died this estate had
not been distributed and IL is now tied up
by litiga ton In the Colorado courts. If
Eugene had lived he would have received
One-thrd of the estate at the distribution,
and his portion will now be divided be-
tween his half-brolher and sister. The
police will try to find the half-brnther.
The theory that Ware might have been
killed by madman was strengthened yes
terday by the discovery that an opium
fiend. penniIess. like most Of his unfortu-
nate brotherhood, frequently called at the
store late at night for something to put
him to sleep" Mrs. Spanier says that her
murdered brother became acquainted with
this man while employed in drugstore on
Third street.
He was a rough unkempt fellow appar-
emily about So or 40 years of age, whose
face was generally furred with a beard of
two or hree weeks growth. She does not
know where TIE fiend lives, but thinks his
home is downtown and that he patrOniZed

Mrs. SpaDier thinks he was the fellow
who entered the store late THANKSGIVING

as man who was very angry or drunk.

The robbery theory received stagger-
ing blow early In the day when it was as
certained that very late Thursday night
the murdered man bought a bottle of
champagne. This accounted for the dis
appearance of the cigar money, amount
ing to about SIS.
Ware had made free with his EMPLOYERS
goods and would have been discharged
last night if he had lived, so it was said
that he took the money himself and bought
the wine with it. Then the fact thar sew
eral drawers full of herbs were found
piled up on the counter was explained.
George B. Starr of Ninth street told De-
iective Bohen that he went to the drug
