Love and Despair Responsible for
Double Tragedy at San Francisco
Four rIen Arrested in San Luis
Obispo County, Charged With Cat
tie Stealing.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6.-The dead
train robber was positively Identified
by Captain Lees as T. j. Morgan, VINO
formerly frequented saloon on East
street, near Market.
About noontime Superintendent ). B.
Wright of the Sacramento Division tele-
phoned to Captain Lees that the ropper
had memoranda on his person Whlch
made it appear that his name was MOT
gan, and that he had been frequent
visitor at an East street saloon De
tectives Wrenn and Gibson were DE-
tailed on the case. They found type
writer in a rear room Of a saloon on
which was a card bearing Morgan
name The saloon man said that MOT
gan had left the machine there hlnseii.
He told a story in substance as 1ol-
lows:
Morgan first visited the saloon TWO
years ago. Sometimes he would go away
for two or three days, saying ne WAS
going into the country. rive days dso
he went to the saloon with stout Ilali
about 80 years of age and hVe Ieet Ten
inches in hight. The stranger wore odl ~
clothes, had a dark mustache' anu was
OF a decidedly dark complexion
''They left together at 4:oU p. III. 'aiiu
Morgan said they were going 10 otoch-
ton on the boat. Before leaving Morgan
took a small bundle wrapped IN paper
which he had left there two days De
fore. Morgan always carried large
pistol.
He also had a second companion, a
voung fellow not more than ~ years OF
aoa with a smooth face. This youth
was almost five feet nine inches tali, anu
ALWAYS appeared the best dressed OF the
trio. On the day that Morgan ana ms
elder mariner went away the young 1el-
low wore a light tweed suit and a plack
6erhv hat He was last seen with MOT
gan two days before the latter LETT to"i
THE three were never seen together a
once"
The police believe that the whole plot
to rob the train beyond Sacramento hao
been Matched in this city by TINS Lrio'
and that they left five days since py OIL
ferent routes. This was Tor the Pui-
pose of avoiding suspicion
Captain Lees would like to have the
mystery of the typewriter explained
Morgan used to take the machine away
for a short time, and then bring II pack
to the saloon. He got it three months
ago on the installment plan from
local agent. But what he did with II
is still a question.
The detectives will now lend thelr
efforts toward identifying the two
companions Of Morgan, as upon that
identity much depends in the hunt Tor
the escaped highwaymen, who are now
supposed to be at large In the Sacra-
mento Valley or the foothills.
The police have no record whatever or
Morgan other than the story told by
the waterfront saloon-keeper. Morgan
went almost daily to Oakland, but the
object of these trips across the bay
could not be learned. He was extremely
reticent and but little inclined to speak
about anything to strangers, much less
about himself. He was last seen in San
Francisco on Tuesday.
