He acts as the adviser of these outcasts of
the world and always helps his subjects in
distress.
Jimmie is in the gloomy old prison from
choice. He is not prisoner and could go
away any time. But he doesn't want to
go away. He prefers to stay and eat the
same food as the prisoners, occupy the
oheerless quarters and submit to almost
the same kind Of discipline.
Jimmie was born in Ireland and was
committed to the jail In default of $500
bond to insure the payment of 90 week
to the county for the support of child for
whose existence he was alleged to be re-
sponsible. In about six months the coun-
ty, finding that he could never give bond
as long as he was confined, and that in the
meantime he was living at it's expense,
concluded to release him. This was ao-
cordingly done upon an order from the
proper judicial authority. But Jimmie was
not to be got rid of SO easily. He had be-
come accustomed to the life in the jail
and liked 1t so we'll that after two or three
days of liberty he went back and applied
to be taken In again. Laborers chanced to
be in demand at the time, and he was
given a job, thus clearly outwitting the
county which had tried to get rid of him
And Jimmie has been in RaymoL
Street Jail ever since.

Captain Stephen O'Brien the new head
of the New York city detective bureau, has
fully justified his promotion If works count
for anything. He has undertaken O big
contract to reorganize q department Great
ed by Thomas Byrnes, who is recognized
everywhere as one of the greatest Of mod
ern detectives. But he received bis train
ing under Byrnes, and learning much OF
his cunning has added to 1t considerable
originality as to methods in dealing with
the criminal classes.
The most radical departure that he will
make from the old way Of doing things
will be to declare open and aggressive war.

eign, and whether operating here or else
where He will not treat with them on
any ground, and will abolish the stool
pigeon system as far as possible
Captain o Brien proposes to treat crooks
who have been operating In other cities in
the same way as though they had per-
formed their work in New York. This is
another big contract.
He also intends TO abolish the Fulton
street dead line" Under his predecessors
no criminal was permitted to go south OF
Fulton street under pain Of arrest and Sc
we're punishment. This was for the protec
tion of the financial district. Captain
O'Brien proposes to make the "dead line
ooincident with the oity's limits. This Il
a still greater contract. He will give the
financial district the same protection that
1t has had, but he will also endeavor Il
give the residence districts equal protec
tiop.
That Captain O'Brion was born detect

a taste for that kind of work in very early
youth is fact. He was born in New Yorl

There are several ways of renewing
old strawberry beds. Perhaps the fol-
lowing plan, illustrated and described
by Professor Samuel B. Green, is as good
as any:
AS soon as may be after the crop is
gathered the bed is closely moved and
all the weeds and strawberry leaves are
burned. A plow is then run ON either
side Of the matted rows, and all but
about one foot in width of it is turned
under. The furrow thus made is filed

STORIES OF SCREAMS
The Police Looking for Women
Who Heard Faint ShriekS
in the Church.

The police are trying to find the women
who on the night of Minnie Williams
murder heard agonized screams that came
family from within the church.
The report that screams were heard that
night is one of the bits of evidence that the
police have but are not saying anything
about This was one of the things fol-
lowed by the detectives during the last
three days, but they do not appear to have
found anything of definite importance
concerning the interesting report. They
are still looking for the women who heard
the screams.
DR.. John Townsend, whose office is at
Twenty first and Valencia streets, re-
ported this matter at police headquarters
last Monday. His information came from
young lady living in that neighborhood
whose mother is one of his patients. When
he called at the house of his patient last
Monday the young lady told him that she
had heard woman who was stranger
to her telling about hearing screams.
The young lady had stopped with the
crowds that collected on the street about
the church last Sunday, and conversation
was naturally lively in the crowd. People

thought 1t was some physician who was
holding an autopsy. l went along Bart
lett street and saw a crowd around the EN-
manuel Baptist Church. l went in, exam
med the body, saw the wounds and the
gag and noted all the circumstances.
"On Sunday morning l went to Mrs.
Durrant's house in company with Shanna-
han and Josephs. We examined all his
clothing, and having orders from the Chief
took possession of his overcoat and hat.
Mrs. Durrant wanted to go through the
pockets first, but I said 1 would do the
searching, In the inside pocket on the
left side l found purse, and opening it
found a car ticket. That is the purse 1
found in the pocket.
The purse in question is the one that has
been identified as belonging to Miss Will
liams.
Lila Berry of 512 Twenty second street
was another of the quartet who discovered
the body. She described the broken lock,
the position of the body, and told how she
her mother.
Clarence NJ. Wolf of $50 Twenty-third
street has known Durrant for five years.
The last time he saw him was between 80
and A. NJ. last Saturday. "Durrant said
something about an article in the Examiner
about Blanche Lamont. l don't remem-
Der what it was. When | saw him first he
was coming along the street"
Q.-Was he coming from theschurch?
Al don't think so. 1 think he was
coming from the blacksmith's shop. He
seemed anxious to get his horse, as he had
to join his comrades at the armory.
William A. Frodsham, assistant in the
armory at Is Page street, said he was at
the armory from 1880 Friday night until
the signal corps left, and he did not see
Durrant except when he was going away.
The whole battery was drilling, but Dur
rant was absent. Still he might have been
there and the witness not know it.
At this point an adjournment was taken
until tomorrow at A. M, when the in
quest will be completed.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-04-18

screams had been heard on Friday night
The young lady whose story went to the
police is one of reliability and culture and
there is no doubt that the woman she de-
scribed told the story she repeated, what
ever it may or may not amount to.
Another interesting story is told by Mrs.
William Minear of 325 Twenty-fourth
street, who heard that Mrs. McGreevy,
wife of the police officer who lives next
door to the church. heard sound between
8 40 and O. clock that was like the break
ing open of door in the church. This is
about the hour that the library door is sup
posed to have been broken open and Min
ME Williams murdered. Mrs. Minear's
story is as follows:
On last Monday aan over to see Mrs. Nc
Greevy, who is the only woman | know about
there, and Mrs. McGreevy told me that she
heard q noise that sounded like somebody
bursting open door. 1t was about half-past 8
or O'clock, l believe, and she was in bed
then. The house is right next to the church.
and Mrs. McGreevy's bed and window is on
that side of the house. She said she didn't
know what it was, but somehow or other it
made her nervous, and she broke out into q
strange perspiration. She said she didn't say
anything about it to her husband, because he
would say that she was superstitious.
Mrs. McGreevy, however, last night told
a different story.
'That wasn't what I said at ALL" she
said. II said that heard something that
night that sounded like knock and APP
peared to be strange noise, but it was
after l o'clock in the morning and my
husband had come home. There is moth
ing in the Storyn

crowded street, and having had quarrel, one
is fatally shot down. A schoolgirl leaves school
and disappears. A search was made for her,
but no one could tell where she was. We know
now. Another young lady leaves her home for
the church to which she belonged, but she
never reached her destination. Her remains
are here.
Every effort that can be made should be
made to discover and punish the perpetrators
OF these horrible crimes, and no stone should
be lett unturned in the effort to discover the
murderer We should back the authorities,
and every citizen should make the officers feel
that he is their friend and help them in every
way.
There have been reigns of terror, but San
Francisco has her reign of horror. We hold
our breath and the heart almost ceases to beat
when we think of ell this. Yet, while we con-
who have been afflicted. We should remember
the mother of Blanche Lamont, the relatives of
Minnie Williams and the mother of the man
who is charged with these awful crimes and
pray that God protect them.
He then said that this was a time of
physical fear, and that the wife was
anxious to know that the doors were
locked and the mother, when she kissed
her babes good night, retired with tears in
her eyes and fear that something awful
might occur before the rising of another
sun.
These crimes, he said, were the work of
the devil, who is so powerful that no one
the crimes were committed in house ded-
Gated to God, he said, would not affect
religion one iota. He continued:
Now have word of advice to give. Young
women OF San Francisco, you cannot be too
careful OF the company you keep. Every
young woman should say: 81 will not go any
where, under any pretext whatever, unless
accompanied by my father or my brother
will not enter any place where there are not
Others" II they would do that they would
raise themselves in the estimation of the whole
world.
81 do not lay any blame at the door of
the girl whose remains are before US. She
was sweet Christian. She fought against
the attack made on her and in so doing
lost her physical life, but God has given
her her reward"
The preacher expressed the hope that
the lesson of these terrible tragedies would
not be forgotten.
The sermon was followed by prayer,
and then the remains were taken to the
hearse and the large congregation filed out
of the church.
The remains were inferred in Laurel Hill
Cemetery, where the remainder of the
simple service was conducted.
The Rev. Mr.. Gibson remained a silent
spectator during the service in the church.
The body was placed in the vault at the
cemetery, where it will be photographed
for District Attorney Barnes this morning.
