A FALSE BEARD
Conceals the Identity Of a
Midnight Caller.
Strange Persecution of Mrs. Cross
Of Williams Street.
Ever Since Last August Her House Has
Been Haunted by an Unknown Man.

Mrs. Lizzie Cross tells most remarkable
story OF mysterious visitor who always
comes In the night and who has
recently developed ABSURD IL not in
sane practices. The queer tale
dates back to last August. Mrs. Cross,
who lives on the street floor of the house
at 25o Williams street, had callers one
evening early IN the month, aud as they
were leaving she remarked, jokiDgly, 81
think II Is mean TO go and leave me
all alone" The windows were open and
the remark was evidently overheard by
some one passing, for about midnight
Mrs. Cross was awakened by somebody
attempting TO open her window. She
saw man leering at her and she jumped
from the bed, but the man
disappeared. This happened five
or six times in August,
three or four days intervening between
each visit, and each time the police were
notified, but OF course that availed moth
ing.
September came and with it increased
boldncss on the part of the midnight,
quasi ghostly visitant. One night he en-
tered the house by a rear window and
walked from the cellar TO attic,
terribly frightening Mrs. Cross, who heard
him. There is family up stairs, that of
jerome Plummer, who also heard the
racket and notified the police, but, as
usual, the fellow mysteriously disappeared
when search was made for him He had
stolen nothing.
Things went along peacefully after that
until last Sunday, when little after mid
night somebody, presumably the same
man, rang the bell furiously and then de-
parted, taking with him the bell handle.
Last night Mrs. Cross heard somebody
at work at the front door and, going out,
scared the man away. On examination IL
was discovered that the screws in the
plate that protects the lock and door
knob were loosened and partly out.
Mrs. Cross has lived in the house i've
years and has been without man on the
premises for IL or 10 wears, but she never
had such an experience before. She Is
naturally getting nervous about 1t.
Several times she had caught a good
look at the troublesome caller and thinks
ne wears a false beard. The eyes do not
resemble those of anybody she ever saw
and she knows OF nobody who
could or would play such pranks.
she should be prosecuted, and she has no
enemies that she is aware of. III robbery
were intended, 1t is thought that the
man would have gotten his
work in before this" and he
certainly would not be apt
TO call so frequently, knowing that Mrs.
Cross must naturally make some provis-
ion for the defense Of herself and chill
dren.
Mrs. Cross does not live alone now, her
daug hter, Mabel, II years old and son,
Fred, 10 years of age, being with her.
But when the man Kept trying to open
the window last summer the children
were at work at Nsrragsnsett Pier.
The police say that Mrs. Cross can be
relied upon and every effort is being made
to locate and capture the man.

Another case OF torture was brought to
light in the military inquiry. A young
native, who was known TO be intimate
with Carl Wideman, was hsndcuffed at

there until circulation of the blood in

TREASON CASES.
A Horrible Story of Torture
in Honolulu.
The Manner in Which Captain Davis
Was Forced to Talk.
Strung Up by the Thumbs Until He
Was Nearly Dead.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16.-The Gail
prints the following from Honolulu: The
success OF the government OF Hawaii
in conducting its treason cases was due
TO the discriminating evidence given
by Captain William Davies of the steamer
Aimanolo. The manper in which the
sworn statement was wrung from Davies
is interesting, as showing the pecu-
culiar process at present existing in the
Hawaiian Islands. Davies and his mate,
Knudson, were arrested on the morning
OF Jan. b. Knudson made confession
telling what little he knew. Davies,
who is an American, refused any infor-
nation and while protesting his inno-
cence demanded an interview with the
U. s. Minister. This was refused. Davies
was then taken into he prison yard W here
wall above his head. The uniformed in
quisitors OF the government then gave he
captain TO understand that IL a com plete
confession was not forthcoming he would
be strung up by the thumbs. Davies
did not finch, but determined that IL the
American minister could not come he con-
sui general should be informed that he was
an American citizen and wished to see
him. His protest was in vain. His legs
were bound below the knees and his
thumbs were lashed with a whipcord to
the bolts. A cord was placed below him
so that the unfortunate mans toes Just
reached the ground. Davies was stripped
to the waist, while Marshal Hitchcock,
Attorney General Smith, Surgeon Cooper,
with a stenograpner, awaited the state
ment which they believed would be forth
coming. They were mistaken. Davies did
not weaken. Sweat oozed from every
pore. The strong man in his agony begged
for drop of water to cool the thirst that
consumed him. The tendons OF the VIC
Tins limbs stood out like strands of
rope; blood vessels knotted on his arms
and legs, swelling as :. ready to burst
with congested blood, restrained in its
course by his abnormal position. His
tormentors urged him to implicate all
known to be politically opposed to their
methods, without avail. Davies refused
to surrender the secrets he had sworn to
protect.
AT last, when it was apparent from his
respiration that it would be impossible to
hold out longer, nature succumbed and
Davies, cursiug the fiends who were tor
turing him, tainted.
DIR. Cooper used salts OF ammonia to re-
vive the captain, who had passed into
Inconsistencies. As soon as he revived
two negro convicts suspended him again
by the thumbs. This inhuman opera
ion was begun at noon, aud it was
