AT TIMES HE TIPPLED.
c. w. Ashford Says Campbell Did
Not Have Any HalluCina-


Clarence w. Ashford. the attorney, was
for number of years resident of Hawaii
and claims to have known Campbell quite
intimately.
"The stories of CampbelPs drinking and
hallucinations, he declared, ''are out
rageous. For fourteen years 1 knew
Campbell well and during that time 1
never knew him to drink. He may pos
sibly have taken an occasional drink, but
l don't believe in that period he was ever
intoxicated. Campbell is as straight as q
string. His word is as good as his oath,
and no mans oath is better.
The statement made by Douglass is
false from beginning to end. Douglass
states that he worked under Campbell
while the latter was serving the Govern
inert. AS a matter of fact Campbell
never served the Government in any
capacity except as a noble for short
while.
AZ understand that Douglass was a hack
driver or something OF that kind in Homo
lulu, and was considered about half
Witted. You - i'll not find any res ponsible
man from the islands who will indorse
his statements in regard to Campbell 8
habits.
"The only time I ever saw Campbell
under the influence Of liquor was in this
City few weeks ago. Then he was on a
spree for two or three days. l know, for |
saw him, and was rather shocked at it,
knowing his habits as do. l unders tand
he once drank heavily, but that was before
l knew him. and l have known him for
over fourteen years"

QUIET AND CONSERVATIVE
Frederick Wundenberg Says Camp
bell Does Not Go on Sprees
at Home,

Frederick Wundenberg, one of the most
prominent men OF the islands, is at present
staying at the Palmetto on Ellis street.
Mr. Wundenberg has known Mr.. Camp
bell, he says, for twenty-five or thirty
years, and he denounces the story that
Campbell is in the habit of going on pro-
miscuous sprees and returning with blood
curdling stories as infamous.
flames Campbell is one of our leading
men," he declared, land his word would
be taken in the islands for anything.
1.-THE statements of that man Douglass
are false on their face. The line of steam
ships he says Campbell ran for the Gov
eminent never belonged to the Govern
ment, and Campbell never ran that line,
nor did be ever work for the Government.
All that Campbell has be made by his own
exertions and shrewdness. Many years
ago when he was hard working man l
understood he drank some, but since he
has been successful and prominent he has
been a non-drinking man. He is con-
servative, quiet man, universally re-
spected, and many of the statements at
tributed TO Douglass must have been the
result of animus.

The Travellers Association.

"The San Francisco Commercial Travellers
Association" met in Shiels' building, 80 O'Far-
rell street, on Tuesday night. There was big
gathering OF City statesmen, representing the
largest and most prominent firms in almost
every line. The association has just been or
ganized and, judging from the turnout of
members and the enthusiasm shown, il is safe
to predict success. The election of officers
was the principal business, the following
gentlemen being elected for the ensuing year:

RecoIlections The Emporium En-
ployes Have Of Miss Dollie
Parm0lee,

The employees about The Empor ium,
that is, the ones that came within his
jurisdiction as chief janitor, are very bit
ter toward f. w. Brooks. The $500 he
should have paid over to them as their
months wages and which he took away
had been earned by hard work. OF course,
these men remember now many little
points that escaped their notice about
Brooks before he did them up as they
call it.
In speaking of Brooks yesterday, one of
them remarked that "Nosey" as he was
commonly termed, would do any thing dis
reputable.
Zone night" he added, "his wife and a
couple OF their little children came here
to plead with him for a little money with
which to eat. He said he had none with
him, but would go to the Office and get a
couple OF dollars. He left the poor things
waiting for him and went up one elevator
only to come down another and meet a
tall blonde woman, with whom he always
left. the building at night. That is the
last the wife and babies saw of him.
Dollie is the name of the young woman.
She had worked for Brooks as typewriter
in room 708, Spreckeis building, where
Brooks was general manager of the Mer-
chants Sign and Window Cleaning Com
pany, which was composed of himself and
Miss Dollie.
The office is deserted now, and the
elevator boy alone of those in the building
remem bers Brooks and a young lady
whom he knew as Miss Parmelee.
Brooks occupied room at 80 Mission
street just prior TO his disappearance, but
he spent much of his time in Company
C's armory, n. G. c., on EDDY street.
AT the time when Mrs. Brooks first
found her husband lacking she also dis
covered that the tall Dollie was constant
companion of his, and in her application
for divorce she made that young lady
figure quite prominently.

UROUHART HOME AGAIN.
He Tells How Winthrop Unfolded
a Kidnapping Scheme to
Him.


OAKLAND, CAL, Aug. 12.-Archibald
UrQuhart did not arrive from Plumas
County last night, but came down this
morning. He went direct to Captain Lees
in San Francisco and then returned at
once to his home in this city.
"After my experience of couple of
years ago." said Mr.. Urquhart tonight,
II was naturally very suspicious of Win
throp. He sometimes said things that
appeared so wild that 1 used to think he
was Joking. At one time he told me that
he thought he would make a raise Of
money by abducting some women high in
society. He said that if they thought
they were in fear of death they could be
easily prevailed upon to give large sums
of money for their liberty. l do not re-
member their names, although | believe
he mentioned some of them to me.
thought he wes simply talking for talk
ing's sake, and never dreamed for a mo-
ment that he was in earnest, but l belle We
now that he was.
"One evening, while sitting in the Occi-
dental Hotel, Winthrop came and sat
alongside of me. He entered into conyer-
sation with me, and as we were talking
Mr.. Campbell passed toward the elevator.
Winthrop said IL would be good thing to
kldnap the old man, and suggested that if
he were deprived of his liberty and made
to understand tnat it might come un-
expectedly he would probably be worth a
good rouHd sum. This was said after
had told him who Campbell was, and how
he had gone to Honolulu with only 81 and
| was now worth as many millions.
After he had told me his fairy tale l
thought he was simply joking and laughed
at the scheme in which he invited me to
| join him. He did not press it when he
/ saw the way in which l took it.
The day that Campbell was missing l
was talking to a friend named George
| Koch, a mining man, ard | told him all
that Winthrop had said. The next day
learned that Detective Curtin was work
! ing on the case, and so | went to him, at
the suggestion of Koch, and told him all
| that knew. He followed my cew and
was at work on it when Campbell reap
peared. l went to Lees on Thursday
morning of last week with Curtin and re-
peated the story which I had told to
Koch and Curtin. Lees knew that was
going to Plumas County on Thursday
afternoon.
81 am glad that told the conversation
with Winthrop and his wild remarks to
Mr.. Koch when did. AS soon as l re-
turned this morning l went to Captain
Lees and made a formal statement of
everything knew about the case. went
into every detail. Up to Tuesday morn
ing / took little stock in the plotting of
Winthrop, but l realized then that he
must have abducted Campbell, and know
ing that the old man was jeopardlZed by
being in such hands, l went to Curtin at
once. l am glad that | acted as l did, for
know how uncharitable the public can
be-"

JIM CORBETT ANXIOUS
Never Felt Better in. His Life, but
Wants the Coasts Opinion of
His Late Fight.

James J.. Corbett, entitled the worlds
champion pugilst, is anxious. The little
bout he had with Woods at Cripple Greek
a few days ago is evidently resting heavily
on his mind, as Jim is very eager to know
what his Pacific Coast friends think of the
performances.
Harry Corbett received a telegram from
his bi other yesterday. Jim says he never
felt better in his life, and ends with a
query as to what local papers had to say
in regard to his bout with Woods. He
will receive solace shortly in the shape of
few clippings from the papers them
selves.
Corbett will stay in Chicago short time
and then proceed to New York, where
another sojourn of two days will be made.
From there they will go to the champion
home at Asbury Park, where active train
ing for James ]. contest with Sharkey
will begin.

Did Not Open Graves.

Winthrop was seen last night and asked
if there was any truth in the story in an
evening paper charging him with reopen
ing graves in the Laurel Hill Cemetery,
removing the cotfins to another part of the
cemetery ana reselling the plat for his own
benefit. One case was given as that of
Gunar. a son of Soren Olson, engineer for
the Callfornia-street Railroad Company.
He at once said vehemently, lit -
lie, and then he said he would prefer not
TO say anything till he had an oppor-
tunity of carefully reading the article
which he had not seen. He hinted that
he might make the paper try to prove its
assertions IN the courts.

Hess waited upon Winthrop to apprlse
him that he was possessed of information
which would be of value TO Winthrop In
establishing his alibi. Just what this IN
formation is Hess declined to state, de-
claring he would tell. nothing until he got
on the witness stand. He intimated
however, that he had seen Winthrop dur
ing the time he is alleged to have been
guarding Campbell in the California-st street
house. Hess says he does not know just
how i'm portant his information is, but he
thinks it proba bic that it may be an i'm

Trying to Defraud His Creditors.
T. c. Murphy, who formerly kept
saloon at 1901 Market street. attempted to
start for his chidhood's home in Ireland
on Tuesday evening after having sold out
his place of business, but was suddenly in
terrupted in his journey by Deputy
Sheriff and an order of arrest signed by
Justice of the Peace Groezinger.
1t appears that before buying his tickets
Murphy neglected to settle some accounts
with his creditors, aggregating $2S7 81,
and that these inconsiderate persons in
sisted that their claims should be paid.
To make sure that the matter should be
carried out to their satisfaction they
charged Murphy with an attempt to de-
fraud his creditors, and caught him just in
time. Justice Groezinger committed the
ex-saloon-keeper, pending the trial OF
suits that have been begun against him on
a settlement of the claims.
