Fredericks' Admiration for Eva
Evans.

Evans.
William FrederIcks the bandit and murderer,
since his removal on Monday afternoon to the
steel tanks after his plan to escape had been
discovered through the visit Of Eva Evans, has
assumed an injured and Respondent attitude.
His craving for notoriety had been previously
gratfed by sentimental women standing in
front of his cell and gazing upon him while he
posed for their benefit. Now that is all past
and gone, and the dreary monotony of staring
at the steel bars OF his cell and communing with
his own thoughts is making him fretful and
irritable.
But 1t was current talk about the City Hall
yesterday that there was stronger cause for
his dependency, and that bandit and murderer
as he IS there is Dit of romance in his life
which shows that he has not been proof
against the tender passion common TO mankind.
The object of his passion is said 10 be Eva
Evans. the daughter OF the man whom he
w0rShiped as hero and whose enemies lie had
marked out for his vengeance. Whether Eva
reciprocated his passion is not known, but evil
dence was found among the papers seized in
Frederlcks' room on ,Sutter stree. after his
arrest that he regarded her as the only woman
worthy OF his admiration and love.
1t will be remembered that according to
FreGericks' statement he went to Visala to get
guns and ammunition for the outbreak at Fol
SOM peniientiarY. While there he was con-
stant visitor to Mrs. Evans house and he and
Eva had frequent confidential conversations,
dlIUOu9u he ueUItu Ludl ellUcF MIS-. Evans or
Eva knew anything about the CONTEMPLATED
outbreak. But since then IL is known that she
gave him one OF her fathers pistols. which
formed part of the arsenal he secreted at the
appointed spot at the pententiary.
IL was during this visit that Fredericks be-
came enamored OF the bandits daughter. After
the collapse OF the Folsom outbreak he
fastened To Visalia and sought consolation and
sympathy where he knew such was waiting for
him. He did not remain long in Vlsalia, and
from memoranda found among his papers ft
can be surmised that he had met with disap-
p0in,ment which made him for lime reckless
