THE STOLEN FAIR WILL.
EmplOye of a Detective Suspected of
AbstractinE the Document.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 30-The theft of
the famous Fair will, which was
stolen from the county clerks Of
flee. Monday still remains mystery, and
the perpetrators of the crime have not been
discovered. The last man who handled it, so
far as known. was w. H. Davis, who was
employed by private detective Stillwell to
examine the document with a view, as he
claimed, to making comparison between
the original and the printed versions of it,
County Clerk Curry openly claims that
Davis is the thief and is backed in his state
ment by the opinion of Chief Of Detectives
Lees. The fact that the will has not been
probated and is not admitted to be the last
will of the dead millionaire by the various
legateeS Will make the case more compli-
Gated. 1t is also claimed that there are
some things about the original will that
needs close investigation and for this copies
will not answer.
A later dispatch says: The best talent
at the disposal of the San Francisco de-
tective force has been unable to locate the
stolen will of the late James G.. Fair, or
to apprehend the thief. They are abso-
luteiy in the dark regarding the culprit
The last man who examined the will, with
the knowledge of deputy clerk, shows a
receipt for the return of the document. but
the county clerk tries to throw the blame
for its disappearance from his own office
to that individual A theft of other papers
from the same office was discovered to-day
The second abstraction was that of the in
solvency papers of Is. w. Kreling.

Mrs. Mary Walsh left fourth-story win
dow of her home, at No. AZ Sixth avenue,

climbed down an icy ladder to escape from
the flames that had possession Of her
rooms. The fire started while Mrs. Walsh
was still in bed with her children. Her
husband. letter carrier had gone to work
half an hour before. Mrs. Walsh awoke
to find her room in flames. A rear window
had been blown out Mrs. Walsh caught
her two children up and ran through the
flames to the fire escape. The fire burned
their nightgowns and scorched their hair
and flesh. Icicles hung from the fire escape
ladder down which she had to climb. A
beam had fallen across her shoulders as
she ran through the burning room and left
an ugly bruise. Mrs. Walsh climbed down
the first ladder and stood on level with
adjoining house, where a man who had
been awakened by the fire met her and
took the children from her arms. Then
Mrs. Walsh was herself assisted down. The
surgeon at the hospital to which they were
taken said he thought the two children

New York city bills before the Legis-
lature until opportunity shall have been
given opponents of the measures to be
heard before the committee was delivered
to Senator Lexow in the Senate chamber
to-day Turning to Mr.. Webb. the messen
ger who delivered the letter, Senator
Lexow said: IF DR.. Parlhurst and these
other gentlemen have their unwarranted
demands satisfied, they will have to get
new chairman for this committee. con-
slider that the letter is insulting and i'm
pertinent. l will not do anything to aid in
accomplishing what they ask
Mr. Webb turned away, saying: "Unless
the terms of the letter are complied with,
you may have cause to regret it,"
A little later Senator Lexow rose to a
question of privilege, He said he had read
in the papers a letter from certain men in
New York city, and had since received
letter from them. The letter began: las

Three men represent that great city. do

the hearing being held to-day. He said
he had sent them word as soon as the Sem

derstood for two weeks that the bills were
ready to be talked over. Now he was
charged with railroading bills through, and
the authors of this letter protest against
the hearing to-day, or any other, at this
short notice. II am through with hearings
for these people, he said. Il will not
listen to any others coming here from that
city. But when individuals come here and
hector and complain and find fault with
Senators and their motives, how feeble
their cause must be. 1 am ready for proper
hearings now at any other time, but

be an uncrowned king of New York or
simple citizen
Senator Cantor attempted to ask whether
the Senator refused hearing to these men,
but was ruled out of order.
