BRESSE is IN OAKLAND,
He Was Seen There by Two
Reputable Citizens Mon
day Night.
PASSED IN A GREAT HURRY.
His Hat Was Over His Eyes and He
Carried Bundle Under
His Arm.

| Eugene A. Bresse is in East Oakland.
His brother, Louis Bresse, one of the Fair
trustees, claims to know nothing of his
brothers whereabouts, aud when seen
yesterday afternoon said he was as ignor-
ant concerning his brothers movements
as was the inquirer.
Bresse, the younger, of the firm of L. w.
McGlaufin & Co., whose disappearance
nearly three weeks ago, after the some
what sensational dissolution of the firm,
has been involved in considerable mystery,
was seen the night before last in East
Oakland by two persons who know him
well.
J. Ralieu. who lives in East Oakland,
saw the missing young broker on Thir-
teenth avenue Monday night, between the
hours of $3.50 and 10 o'clock. He was
walking up the avenue from the railway
station. Mr.. Ralieu obtained a coed look
of his face as he passed under a gas lamp.
The same night J. Gacabus saw Bresse
at a few minutes after o'clock on East
Twelfth street with long package under
his arm resembling bundle of washing.
He wore stiff hat, pulled well down over
his forehead, and was walking briskly.-
He also carried cane.
A gentleman of this City, whose bust
ness makes him diffident about having his
| name mentioned in connection with the
affair, also met Bresse on the street in East
Oakland Monday night. Bresse and the
gentleman referred to are well acquainted,
but the former was not inclined to stop
and renew the acquaintanceship.
Four evenings ago the young broker was
seen in William Kent's resort on Twelfth
street, Oakland, at a late hour. He was
alone.
Mr.. McGlaufin says he has heard moth
ing from his absent partner and that he has
no hope of learning anything concerning
his whereabouts for some time to come.
When called upon yesterday afternoon he
stated that the experts were still at work
on the books. and that the end OF the inves-
tigation seemed as far off as ever. Nothing
new had been discovered that caused any
change in his original opinion concerning
the mutilation of the books and the sup
posed conduct of his partner as already
published.
Mr.. Collins had nothing further to add.
Louis Bresse was seen at the office of the
Fair trustees and gave forth the informa-
ished with the Fair books and memoranda
and found no discrepancies. Their expert
ing was completed last Friday and since
then he had heard no word concerning
their conclusions. AS to his brothers
movements he said: 81 really cannot tell
you thing. People think am not tell
ing the truth when l say do not know
where Eugene is. But why should L? He
never consulted me in business matters
and he certainly would not come and
inform me that he intended to
go away and where he was going.
1t is probable he is taking rest some
where and wishes to avoid being bothered
to death by newspaper men. He is his own
master and 1 do not believe he has any
reason to absent himself except his own
personal inclinations.
With the indubitable proof at hand,
however, it is certain the young brother is
in East Oakland and does not stir out of
the house until the shades of eventide
have fallen low.
