SAN JOSE EL0PsMENT.
W. Dunn and Miss Georgia
Newb1U


SAN JOSE, CAL, Dec. pa marriage
OF two well-kuown persons in this city
that was bitterly opposed by relatives of
the young lady was consummated to-day
through an elopement. E. w. Dunn, the
man in the case, came to San Jose several
years ago, and Tor some time was the sec
rotary of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
ciation. Subsequently he became dried
fruit broker and established himself in a
small office. He called himself the secre-
tary of the Eden Fruit Company. Through
business dealings with Mrs. Sylvester
NewhaIl, he became acquainted with her
daughter, Miss George Newhali.
Mrs. Newhall is quite wealthy and the
family lives in an elegant house on Lin
CON avenue. When Mrs. Newhall found
that her daughter and Dunn were engaged
she bitterly opposed the marriage. She
was aided in her opposition by her son,
Carl S. Newhall, and her son by former
husband, Fred A. Stoddard. The mar
riage was to have taken place to-day at
the First Presbyterian Church, of which
Dunn and Mrs. Newhall are members, but
DR.. Diusmore, the pastor. refused to per-
form the ceremony on account OF the OPP
position of the young 1ady's mother.
1t was supposed that the marriage had
been indefinitely postponed, but today,
in the absence of the brothers and mother,
the girl left the house, met Dunn, and
they boarded the II rs train for San Fran
cisco. They were accompanied by two
unmarried sisters of Miss Newhall.
One great objection of the family to the
match was the difference in the ages of the
pair. 1t is claimed that Dunn is 43 while
Miss Newhail is %. 1t is supposed that
they were married in San Francisco this
afternoon.

afraid the hay might catch fire.

the barn, keeping in mind the looks of the
man in the photograph. The stranger
was lying on pile of hay and we ap-
preached. He got up and waited for US,
but showed no sign OF fear. Ellsworth
carried the lantern and spoke to the fell

and then suddenly thrust the lantern up
and threw the light squarely in his face.

was indebted to him. Seeing that there
was no probability of his getting the
money any other way the citizen afore-
said, according to the report, hired man
to put his debtor out of the way, so as to
secure the insurance money.
The man who makes the charge is John
Harrison, detective, formerly of San
Jose. He has positive proof, he says, that
SchweiZer was i'm plica ted in the attempt
ed murder; he had not done the shooting,
but was one of the leaders of plot TO kill
Lehman. The party who did the shoot
ing was hired to do so by Schweizer and
other enemies of the mill-owner. Harri-
son refuses to state what Schweizer' s
motive was for wanting to have lehman
killed, and will not say anything further
along this line.
Concerning the allegation of blackmail,
the detective denies its truth. He had
made no proposition for hush me- ney, he
asserted, but he limited that Schwelzer
had attempted in a roundabout way to
bride him to drop the case. Harrison
saws that he had been paid to investigate
the case, but will not tell by whom. He
declares he has gathered conclusive evil
dence to prove that SchwelZer and others
planned 10 murder Lehman, and had
hired a man, whose name the detective
would not give, to do the job. This evil
dence he has laid before District Attorney
Snow.
Schweizer refuses to be interviewed and
refers all newspaper men to his attorney,
Mark Walser. Mr.. Walser speaks free ly
about the case and openly declares that it
is scheme to blackmail his client. L. de
Marais, he says, has acted as GO between
10 see Schweizer a number of times and
thrown out hints which caused the har-
ness-dealer to believe that De M 4rais was
trying to inspire him with fear Mr..
Schweizer gave him no satisfaction, how
ever.
Deputy Sheriff AL Henry. who is friend
of Sch weizer, says that Harrison made a
proposition to him that if Schweizer
would pay $4,000 he would drop the case.
Schweizer, when told of this, absolutely
refused to entertain it. When asked con-
corning the insurance policy this evening.
Attorney Walser said:
MIR. SchweiZer's business relations
with lehman have been quite extensive
and the latter owed my client considerab BILE
money. lehman has made enemies
during his business career, and it has
been reported that his life was threatened
more than once. In order to protect his
interests in case harm came to Lehman,
it was agreed that Schweizer should take
out policy on Lshmanns life, covering
the amount of the indebtedness, and the
men who have been trying to extort
money from him probably thought this
fact gave them the advantage they de-
sired"
The whole case has aroused the greatest
interest. and was the sole subject of dis
cussion on the streets to-day.
