The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-06-03

posite side of the street Lawrence Green
baum sat at the front window reading, but
his back was to the window and a dozen
vehicles might have been there without his
knowledge.
On the other hand there is the servant
girl of ex-Supervisor Knorp, at 1927, just a
few doors above, who has said to other
neighbors that she saw the vehicle in
| front of Miss Harrington's door at the
time the murder must have occurred.
| Some one told her not to talk so much, or
she might be called as witness. Then
she said, "Oh, well, 1 didn't say what day
it was" and yesterday she was off some
where visiting and could not be seen. 1t is
| quite likely that not only she but all of
the immediate neighbors will be sum-
moned by the Coroner.
And there is the bright little girl of
Neighbor Lindo, who has told that she saw
the buggy there Saturday at noon, and
that her mamma also saw it. But Mr..
Lindo says this is not so, and that no
one in his house knows anything at all
about the case. Some of the neighbors
seem to be afraid of becoming witnesses,
and are therefore unwilling to say any,
thing.
Among Miss Harrington's effects Cap
tain Lees found second will yesterday,
but it is of previous date, and of about
the same tenor, only that w. S. Ferguson,
the uncle of her friend Mrs. Ferguson,
WHO lives Oh JOutS StT6GU, Is udneu dS
executor. This will re ads as follows:

am known as Nell or Nellie, but Ellen was
baptized. 1 hope this will answer as will if
anything happens me.
Miss Harrington had a brother, whose
whereabouts are unknown at present. About
year ago he saw her and also her two
sisters in Sacramento, and then went, sup
posedly, back to Missouri; but neither
Mrs. Jackson nor Mrs. Rae know where
| he IS at present.
Some have thought from the tenor of
Miss Harrington's wills that they are in a
measure prophetic of the awful end that
came SO suddenly and terribly upon her.
But this is more poetic that truthful. Miss
Harrington's worst fear was of sudden
death from heart disease. Both her sisters
are afflicted with the same trouble, and
Mr.. Rae said yesterday that his wife made
| her will before preparing to go on visit
East, which visit, however, was prevented
by the recurrence of heart troubles.
Every one who knew the murdered
woman speaks in the highest terms of her
and cannot believe that she should have
had an enemy. She had quite an engaging
| personality and made friends and kept
| them. No one SO far has told of any quar-
rel she ever had.
In going over the letters and papers yes
| terday several notes were found from Mr..
Buck to Miss Harrington. Captain Lees
would not divulge the nature of their con-
tents, but Mr.. Rea says the captain spoke
his mind quite freely on the subject and
| did not hesitate to use Mr.. Bucks name in
way that led Mr.. Rea and his wife and
sister to believe that the captain thought
Mr.. Buck could throw some light on the
| subject. Mr.. Bucks dealings with Miss
Harrington are shown quite plainly in the
letters and other papers. Also they show
the dealings she had with Mr.. Cory at
Lodi.
The bank-books show that she had 1852
in the German Savings Bank, SIS IS in the
Humbold Bank and 1924 in the California
Loan and Savings Bank, making a total of
nearly $1,000.
Who were Miss Harrington's previous
dodgers during the four years she occupied
that fat? Only Captain Lees can answer
the question accurately, for he has the stub
book, Mrs. Jackson says. One Hoyt, an
actor, and Lillian Beddard, an actress, had
the apartments for several months prior
to Mr.. and Mrs. Kellog's advent there
several months ago. They were very quiet
people Not the least suspicion attaches
