plieit trust. He betrayed this trust by
robbing her of $4,000 worth of diamonds
and fleeing 10 New York. She followed
him and had him arrested and brought
back to Chicago. Furnald secured the SER
vices of Mr.. Stone to defend bin, and
some time after the case was dropped.
He shortly afterward added to his noto-
riety by MS connection with divorce
suit, which ended in the family relations
of a prominent Chicago couple being
severed. Then he married Chicago girl
with small fortune, but soon deserted
her after taking all her money and leaving
her penniless.
A few months afIer DESERVING his young
wife he went back to Chicago and con-
suited Mr.. Stone regarding a scheme he
had been thinking over to swindle thu
banks in San Francisco. He was told
that it was a swindle. pure and simple,
and If attempted would land him in the
penitentiary.
After Furnald left Chicago he went to
Los Angeles. where he became acquain ted
with Mis-. Garner. They aud Mrs. Gar
ner's son made their appearance at the
Langham Hotel in this city the day before
last THANKSGIVING day, where. as already
stated. lie registered as J. w. Allen. The
trio left the Langham about the beginning
of the year. and have since been living at
the Princess. 109 O'Farrell street.
Since Fernald and partner left the city
Captain Lees was visited by man who
said he had been swindled out of $1,000 by
the green goods game. From the descrip-
ton of the two men who swindled him the
Captain is under the impression that Fur
nald and Garner fill the bill. That will,
however, not be confirmed till the man can
have look at them. The captain mean
time thinks it advisable not to give the
mans name for publication.
The introduction of Mrs. K. B. Gamers
name into a case of such sensational ma
ture arouses greater curiosity in the de-
tails of the crime and tends to prove how
a confding woman can be implicated by
succumb bling to the allurements of smooth,
suave man.
Mrs. Garner was undoubtedly infatuated
with Allen to such an extent that she was
unable to resist the influence which he ex-
ercised over her. She first became ac-
quainted with the now notorious crook
some time in the early part of November.

sion that one Walter Guy Fernsld had
been arrested for com plicity in the dia-
mOnd robbery the young lady was much
surprised and pleaded ignorance of any
knowledge of person by that name.
Just how Mrs. Garner became acquainted
with Allen is a question not yet an
swered. but it is supposed that the boy
Harry got allied with Allen through meet
ing him frequently with a number of we'll
known local sports at the Baldwin Hotel.
According 10 the statement of j. A.
Pickett, clerk at the Hotel Langham, Allen
came TO the house alone on the Wednes-
day preceding Thanksgiving day. and
secured rooms for himself, the woman and
her son. He registered in rather cramped
hand the names of himself and his COIN
panIons as -. w. Allen, Mrs. K. b. Gar

On the follow day all three made
their appearance. closely followed by an
eXpressman, who unloaded a number of
trunks, which were so substantial and i'm

conclusion that the hotel was about to re-

December l came and went, yet no signs
of Aliens were seen on the Langham's
counter. December passed and yet Allen
did not offer to settle.
The hotel people became suspicious and
ordered the trio to settle or leave the
house. This they did. but left their bag
gage, or rather part of il, behind to secure
their debt.
On December 80 Allen. Mrs. Garner and
Earl secured rooms in the Princess lodg-
ing-Eouse. where they remained until their
sudden departure for Los Angeles.
Harry Earl. who acted as tool in the
hands of the clever Mr.. Allen, was intro

of the young lady. he Immediately tried

This was the sort of information Earl

most ardent admiration for Miss jacobson.
