covered with blood and with clothing dis
arranged, the body of girl. She had been
stabbed in several places. Her right hand
was almost cut off and there was horrible
cash on the forehead. Some of the cloth
ing had been torn from the body, and ap-
pearances all pointed to an outrage fol-
lowed by murder.
1t was soon ascertained that the MUIR
dered girl was Miss Minnie Williams of
Alameda, a Sunday-school classmate OF
the missing Blanche Lamont. The closet
in which she was found is in the front part
of the church. The body lay in such a
position that the right arm outstretched
was in sight from the library entrance.
A broken caseKnife, with which the MUIR
der had been committed, lay near the
body. There was no evidence of a strug
gle, and the chances are that the assault
was a complete surprise to the victim.
The wounds were frightful to gaze upon.
There was cash extending from between
the eyes to the right, two slashes on the
breast where the dress had been torn open,
and the probably fatal wound on the right
wrist.
a stab in the right breast broke piece of
the blade off the knife and it remained
embedded in the flesh. Another portion
was found in a second wound and a third
is missing, but is supposed to be embedded
in the body.
DR.. Thomas A. Vogel was summoned by
the Rev. J. George Gibson, pastor of the
church, and he examined the dead girl in
the presence OF the Coroner's deputies.
He had done some dental work for her,
and when her mouth was pried open in
order that he might be certain it was Miss
Williams another horrible discovery was
made.
A white substance was seen pushed into
the throat. 1t was portion of her under

A BULLET IN HIS BRAIN,
C.CalmOn Kills Rene Lefevre in
a JackSon-Street Lodg-
ing-HouSe.
The Dead Man Had Been Intimate
With the Wife of the MUIR
derer.

G. Calmon, proprietor of the White
House, $40 Jackson street, shot and in
stantly killed Rene Lefevre, a shoemaker,
and an ex-convict, living at the Contra
Costa House, IA Jackson street, on the
stairway of the clearinghouse, $50 Jack
son street, shortly before 10 o'clock last
night. Calmon was arrested, and ad-
mitted the crime, but he pleads self-de-
Tense.
According to Calmon's statement Lefevre
has been too intimate with Mrs. Calmon.
The dead man had been living at the
house conducted by Calmon until two
weeks ago. He had been found in COM
promising position, and was told to leave
the house. He did SO, but has been back
several times, although repeatedly warned
by Calmon to keep away.
Last evening Lefevre called at the White
House, but was told by Calmon not to
come up the stairs. According to Calmon's
story Lefeyre said he would go, but that he
added: II will do you up in less than a
week"
Lefevre then left the house, but few
moments later returned. AS he came up
the stairs Calmon called out to him to
stop or he would kill him. When four or
mon fired The ball struck Lefevre over
the left eye and he fell back dead on the
landing midway on the stairs.
Calmon made ne effort to escape. Word
was taken to the old City Hall police sta
| ton by two eye-witnesses of the affair, and
Calmon was placed under arrest by Off
GERS Little and Love.
He showed no regret over the affair,
claiming that he believed Lefevre in
tended to kill him, but that he shot first.
When the body of the dead man was
kind was found. A few cards Of Attorney
P. B. Nagle and letter crediting him with
authority to solicit for S. Ronda, merchant
tailor, IL Ellis street, comprised his effects.
Lefevre is known to the police. He was
sent to San Quentin about two years ago
for burglary. He was young man and
rather prepossessing. Since his release he
has given the police no trouble and has
evidently been working right along.

of the murder he put all the detectives
available on the case, and instructed Ser
geant Burke to detail as many men as DOS
sible also on the case.
Minnie Williams formerly lived on the
corner OF Twenty-second and Howard
streets. About a year ago her family was
stricken down with diphtheria and three
of its members died. Minnie and her sister
Augusta survived. Afterward the father
and mother separated and the members of
the Emanuel Baptist Church assisted
the mother and children in their effort to
reach their relatives in the East
Shortly afterward they returned to Cali
fornia, and Minnie went to live with H. c.
Morgan, president of the California Casket
Company, in his home at Alameda, She
did not give up her connection with
the Emanuel Baptist Church, how
ever, and occasionally came over from
Alameda to attend concerts and special
services given in the church.
a meeting of the Young Peoples Chris
tan Endeavor of the church was held last
Friday night in the house of DR.. James A.
Vogel, 1902 Howard street. 1t was fol-
lowed by an entertainment, and both Min
ME Williams and W. H. T. Durrant, the Ii
brarian of the church, were to be present.
Minnie left her home In Alameda at 4
P. NJ. Friday and arrived at the house of
Mrs. Boyes, 1907 Howard street, an hour
later. She had her trunk with her, as she
intended staying a week or so and intended
taking part in the Easter service being
held in the church to-day. She left Mrs.
Boyes about 80 P. NJ in order to be at DR..
VogeIs about o'clock, and from that
time up to noon yesterday nothing was
heard from her.

BRAVERY DE AFGHANs.
They Recognize 1T in Their Foes az
Well.

The courage and undaunted boldness of
the Afghans will bear comparison with
that of any nation, and many are the
instances of personal bravery known to
British officers. There lives in the Yusu-
fzai country an old chieftain, the hero of
many fights, who now enjoys well-earned
pension, with the village manor as re-
ward for honorable service, and who on
more than one occasion risked his life to
save that of his commanding officer.
The present editor of the London Even
ing Globe records with gratitude the fact
that thirty years ago his life was saved by
Afzal Khan, the recent envoy to the Cabul
court. Major Wigram Battye, whom I
buried at Jellalabad, fell on the battlefield
of Fattahabad in the conquest of Afghan
territory, but they were Afghan soldiers of
his own regiment who stood over his dead
body to protect it from insult. The mis-
sionary Tuting was attacking the faith of
the Moslem in the streets of an Afghan
city, when his life was attempted by an
assassin, but it was his Afghan servant
who saved the preachers life even in the
midst of popular tumult.
Colin Mackenzie, one of the Cabul pris-
oners of 1912, often told the story of that
Afghan chivalry which protected the lives
and honor of English ladies in the excite
ment OF national rebellion. Nor are they
slow to appreciate the quality of bravery in
others. In the frontier war of 1868, young
English officer was deserted by his native
sepoys, and for some time held his own in
the midst of crowd of Afghan warriors.
When the brave young soldier fell, COW
cred with wounds, the very men who had
cut him down bore testimony to the indom-
liable pluck of the young Englishman, who,
| rather than run with his men, faced the
! foe and died like a man. They raised one
united shout in the Afghan language as
he fell, 'Bravol BravoI There's brave
| young fellowp'
| But they are revengeful and jealous

| conversation. The man was heard TO say,
ooh, come along; what are you afraid
OFF" and presently they moved toward the
| church.
The man produced key, opened the
| basement door and the two entered, clos
| ing the door after them. The man is de-
| scribed as being about feet 6 inches high,
shaved clean, save a dark mustache, wore
soft, SLOUGH hat and long. dark over
coat. According to Dr.Vogel, Mr.. Durrant
arrived at the social about 1880 P. NJ, but
Miss Williams did not put in an appear
ance.
Officer John McGreevy, who lives at 1877
Bartlett street, also saw the couple stand
ing on the corner of Twenty-third and
Bartlett, and his description TALES with
that of Mr.. Hills. Whether the murder
was committed between the hours of 8 80
and 1890 P. NJ. remains to be proven. One
thing is certain-the blood on the floor was
in liquid state when the body was found
yesterday.
A number of people had keys to the
church. Among them were the Rev. DIR.
Gibson, the pastor; w. H. T. Durrant, the
librarian; Frank A. Sademan, the janitor
P. D. Code, the superintendent of the Sun
day-school, and one or two others. There
is a bedroom adjoining the pastors study,
and when DR.. Gibson was detained very
late preparing a sermon he would sleep
there.
Durrant also used the room OH occasions
and was frequently in the habit of running
IN and out of the building at night. He
disappeared yesterday morning, and DR..
Gibson told all inquirers that he had gone
to Mount Diablo with the signal service
corps. The police say this is not true, and
are now anxiously looking for the missing
man.
A. E. Williams of TIC Bush street, the
murdered girls father, did not learn of the
horrible fate of his daughter till o'clock
yesterday afternoon. He at once fastened
to the Morgue, and when he saw her mu-
tilated body he was convulsed with grief.
He went to police headquarters and Officer
Moffitt went with him to Mrs Boye's
house. They examined the girls trunk,
and took all her letters to police head
quarters.
"My daughter" said Mrs. Williams,
twas q years of age. I saw her last about
week ago, when took her to the theater
She was a good girl, bright girl, and
never had an enemy. Mr.. Morgan S fam
lily treated her as one of themselves. She
did not keep company with any one that
know of. Everybody was her friend.

Church for six or seven years. Her mother
and one other child are in Canada. We were
divorced about four years ago and Minnie

connection between the two cases, but in
working up clews in case of such fright
full nature as that of yesterday, the police
are not inclined to overlook anything.
Minnie Williams and Blanche Lamont
were members of the same class in the
Sunday school of which P. d. Code is SUI
perintendent Durrant is dental student
and lives at 421 Fair Oaks street. He is
librarian of the Sunday-school. He often
slept in the church, and is friend of Rev.
DR.. Gibson, the pastor.
Pretty Blanche Lamont, who disappeared
from the home of her aunt, Mrs. Noble, at
200 Twenty-frst street, is now supposed to
have died in some private house or hos
pital in this city.
How her body was disposed of is not
known, but it is supposed that it met with
similar treatment to that of the unfortu-
nate Addie Gilmour, who was cut up by DR..
West.
w. II. Durrant answers the description
of the young man who was with Blanche
Lamont when she was last seen on a
Powell-street car, nearly two weeks ago. He
is about 25 years of age; has black mus
tache, and is of the build of the man de-
scribed. He was often seen in company
with both Blanche Lamont and Minnie
Williams.
Blanche had been attending the Normal
School with the intention OF becoming a
teacher. She had come from Montana,
where her mother lives, to secure a good
education here. She was OF a romantic
turn Of mind.
Her sister, Maud Lamont, is teacher in
the schools of this city. Blanche was a
brown-haired girl of q years, but she APP
peared much younger. She had large,
brown eyes, girlish smile and acted like
a young woman OF inexperience.
The belief that Blanche Lamont has met
her death as the result of an operation is
strengthened by the fact that the three
rings she used to wear were received in a
somewhat mysterious manner by Mrs.
Noble yesterday.
Mrs. Noble received by mail yesterday
morning newspaper in which was

MISS WILLIAMS A DOMESTIC.
She Was About to Leave This City for
Tacoma.


Tacoma.
Minnie Williams was we'll known in Ala
media, where she had acted as domestic
in several families. Gossips are now tell
ing tales about the butchered girl, but the
fact remains that wherever she was known
she was highly respected and was deemed
pure and modest young woman
Miss Williams has generally lived as
one of the family of G. H. Morgan, secre-
tary of the California Casket Company,
especially when she was out of work. She
was engaged in making shrouds in this
city for the California Casket Company Tor
three months in the latter part of last year.
She had also been employed as a domes-
tic by J. N. Young of 212S Alameda
avenue, and Mrs. N. R. Lipman of 1547
Everett street, Alameda. The Morgan
family lived for long time at 1920 Yer
sailles avenue, but recently moved to the
house of A. 0. Colt, the jeweler, OF 2232
Pacific avenue, Alameda.
The parents of Mamie or Minnie Will
liams are well known tn Alameda. They
resided there three years ago on Santa
Clara avenue, near Walnut. Her father
and mother could not live happily to-
gether and they separated. Minnie Will
liams then became a domestic.
1t may have been that the murderer of
Minnie Williams was wildly infatuated
with her, and knowing that she was about
to leave for Tacoma, preferred to kill her
rather than let her go away from him. 1t
is also possible that he attempted to more
securely bind her to him by assaulting
her.
Mr.. Morgan has severed his connection
with the California Casket Company to ac
cept position in similar firm in Ia
coma. He was to have left for Tacoma to-
day. and Miss Williams was to have
accompanied his family.
Miss Williams left Alameda Friday at 5
M. The last seen of her in Alameda was
when she left the Morgan home, ostensibly
to visit friend living on Howard street,
in this city, and also to attend the enter
tainment of the Baptist church.

study on Banking and the Clearing
house."
she commenced, says the New York Re
corder, by saying; Madam President and
Fellow Citizens" which caused ripple of
merriment around the room. then at once
dipped into statistics, giving the total
number of national, State and savings
banks. The tabulated statement of the
State Bank Department at Albany proves
conclusively the popular favor enjoyed by
savings banks as well as their great USE
fulness.
Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan has successfully
established at Highland Falls a penny
savings bank, which has demonstrated its
usefulness to the poor and frugal. Mrs.
Brown of Washington knows more about
mutilated money than any other person
in the world, and it is woman's deft fin
gers also that are expert in detecting coun-
terfeit money.
The total transactions since the organi-
cation of the Clearinghouse, fortv-two
years ago, show an amount so gigantic as
to be appalling to think of. One trillion
forty-five billion two hundred and forty-
eight million seven hundred and thirty
eight thousand dollars, all without the use
of safes.
There is no Clearing house in Paris. and
their methods of exchange are clumsy and
antiquated. Mrs. Blake, Mrs. Fav Pierce
DIR. Gum and Mrs. Newton took part in
the discussion.

FIGURES ON THE RETINA.
Strange Discovery in a Belgian Hos
pital.

plC8l
The legendary belief that the eye of a
murdered man might retain a permanent
image of his destroyer has just received
something like scientific confirmation.
According to the Revue des Questions
Scientifques, Drs. Deneffe and Clayes of
Client University recently had their atten-
ton directed by a medical student to the
curious appearance presented by the eyes
of woman under treatment in the hos
pital.
The student declared that he had found
certain figures distinctly inscribed on the
surface of both eyes. DR.. Deneffe was in
credulous, and suggested that if any such
marks existed they must merely be the
chance result of some injury, and that the
resemblance to figures was probably i'm
aginary.
Next day, however, he examined the
patient himself and was astonished to
find that the left iris bore the number ''10'
and the right 49," these figures being
traced with caligraphic perfection.
The eyes were photographed, and on the
enlarged proof the numbers "10' and "45'
stood out with unmistakable clearness.
Nor is this all. Although the origin of
these particular impressions cannot be as
certained, it has been proved that their ac-
QUESTION may be hereditary. Thewoman' s
daughter has the same popularity in her
eyes, but with much less degree of regu-
larity and distinctness.
The girls right eye is found to bear a
feeble reproduction of the number 49,
while in the left iris the figures 500 take
the place of the mothers AS"
Here, then, is a pleasing puzzle for the
psychologists. 1t would be strange, at this
time of day, to discover that the eye, under
certain conditions, could really perfom the
functions of the camera. - Westminster
