The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-10-22

Wylackie John was his principal lieuten-
ant. He had worked for him on and off,
but Charles Kendrick was the only super
intendent he had in number of years.
Mr.. White had been acquainted with Wy
Jackie John for over thirty years, but says
he lived twenty-five miles away from him.
Mr.. Costello then asked: Had all this
anything to do with the White divorce
case?'' referring to the long and bloody
record.
NO" answered White, ''Wylackie
Johns killing is the only connection in
the case"
Mr.. White gave it as his firm opinion
that stories published in newspapers had
some weight, and reiterated his assertion
that the publications concerning him
were made with view of Influencing the
Supreme Court. He further said that the
story regarding the rendezvous at the
Wilson House was to some extent true.
81 will tell you," he said, "iust how it
occurred. "There was man named Brick
Mcpherson who went to Wylackie John
and told him that he had had criminal
relations with frankie White. Wylackie
brought him to me and l told him / did
not believe that he could even talk with
ner. To prove that he was able to do this
he went into her room in the presence of
Wylackie. Then, afterward, he said that
he could take her to any place he wanted.
He would take her to Vallejo. That was a
decoy. had friend at that time named
James Keller, who is now in Denver.
had intended to follow them to Vallejo,
but my friend said, This is put-up Job ;
they want to kill YOU Well, we went to
Vallejo and knocked at the door of the
room where they were, but we did
not burst the door open. 1 suppose
was simply decoy."
The White divorce case is pending in the
Supreme Court. This is the case of which
Judge Wilson said, in deciding the case
against White, that it was without parallel
in the history of California for perjury and
the shocking character of the testimony,
and that every witness for the cattle king
had apparently received his reward or ex-
pected to.
Yes, beautiful; but o God'" quoted
Walter Linforth, Mrs. frankie Whites
attorney, from the account of the splendid
valley that mans cruelty and greed has
made horrible.
stage-driver when he reached the summit
overlooking the beautiful valley and
halted to give his horses a breathing spell.
THAT phrase expresses it ALL" he con-
tinued, but as to the story so graphically
told in THE CALL, let me say the story of
crime and horror has not been half told
yet. 1t would require chapters. A vol
ume is necessary TO do it justice.
1T is terrible story, and THE CALL has
not overdrawn or over-colored single
detail. Mrs. White was in to-day, and
after reading the article she said in her
quiet way that it was truthful as to detail
and not fact was included that could not
be verified. She has lived through many
of the tragedies enumerated in the article,
and knows better than any one, perhaps,
what power is exercised in that country
by the Cattle King her ex-husband.
Beautiful, but o God That is an apt
phrase. 1t is beautiful spot, magnificent
in its scenic variety and attractiveness, but
o God, the crimes that have been committed
in the lovely valley make one shudder.
1t has been the hot bed of conspiracy,
bloody, ruthless, murderous conspiracy,
and THE CALL merits the thanks of all
California for showing up to the world the
true state of affairs in that blotted section
of our fair State. The character of
Wylackle John is even blacker than it has
been painted.
