with the assertion that the author in my
opinion is none other than DR.. Entrefort,
whose astounding and miraculous achieve
ments in medicine and surgery are already
familiar in part to some of my readers.
That | did not at once guess him as the
author OF the writing discloses a grievous
stupidity on my part, for not only is he
my old-time friend, and not only has he in
the past furnished me with material for
some of the most gruesome things that |
have published, but he is the only man in
all the world having the originality and
daring to conceive and carry out the awful
experiments with which he unmistakably
has had so marvellous success. And l am
the only person 10 whom he would have
sent the account of his labors. Happily
for him he is operating in part of the
world where he is free from the danger of
punishment
The fragment, which I shall follow with
my own explanation of its meaning, is as
follows, although a considerable margin
must be admitted for errors arising from
the sadly mutiIated and blurred condition

FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE,
Mrs. Emma York, Mother of the
Late C. F. Gibson, Leaves
for Canada.
Gibson's Widow Swears Out War.
rant for Her Arrest for Felony
EN- be ZZle I'm mt.

The widow of Charles Frederick Gibson,
the well-known saloon keeper, acting on
the advice of her attorneys, Delmas &
Shortridge, applied to Judge Low yester-
day morning for warrant for the arrest
of Mrs. Emma York, her deceased hus-
bands mother, on the charge of felony en-
bezzlement.
Judge Low, who dismissed a charge of
grand larceny against James A. Gibson,
brother of the deceased, on Friday, re-
fused to issue the warrant, on the ground
that the widow had, in his opinion, no
claim to the $500 which Charles T.
Gibson is alleged to have presented to his
mother on his deathbed.
Mrs. Gibson then went to Judge Joa-
chimsen, and after laying the facts before
him he at once signed the warrant, which
was placed in the hands of Chief Crowley
Mrs. Gibson stated that after Mrs York
had attended the funeral of her son in
Sacramento on Thursday she left for Kes-
wick, N. B., where she formerly resided,
and took the $22, 800 with her.
Chief Crowley at once put the wires in
motion and telegraphed to all points on
thu different routes to Canada descrip-
ton of Mrs. York, with instructions TO
place her under arrest, as she was wanted
here on the charge of felony embezzlement
AS soon as the Chief is notified of the
fact that Mrs. York is arrested an officer
will be sent TO Sacramento to secure Gov
ernor Budd's signature to the necessary
requisition papers.
The $22.5O0 represents practically the
entire estate of the deceased, and the
widow is lighting to have her share Of it,
She has, through her attorneys, secured
special letters of administration on her
husbands estate, and Judge Coffey has
issued citations for James A. Gibson and
Mrs. York. requiring them to be in his
court on Tuesday morning to answer
questions pertinent to the cause. Mrs.
York has evaded service of the citation by
flight.

required to convince the natives that the
changes which were coming over them
were to their advantage. During the
earlier experiments I had not learned to
specialize the functions of the gland, or to
regard that obscure organ as a complex
mechanism capable OF differentiation.
Moreover, the means which I then en-
p!oyed for stimulating it into morbid ac-
tlvlty were crude and the results indeter-
inmate by prognosis ! have measurably
overcome those difficulties and uncertain
ties by the means which I have already
described, and can now proceed with
reasonably exact expectations.
had already ascertained bevond doubt
that the monsters known to the civilized
world as giants were the product of spon-
taneous abnormal activity in the gland,
and that acromegaly, the grea .er enlarge
ment of one side of the body than the
other, was variation of that activity.
Those two facts taken together were suffi-
clent as suggestion of the possibilities

stimulation and excessive feeding of the
gland, combined with the admnistra ton
OF abundant wholesome food, he would
rapidly develop generally into a symmet-
rical giant, attaining in three or four wears
height exceeding that of the average bv
from two to four feet, with a correspond
ing excess of weight. As the natives
never before had seen creatures of such
size they were terrified and sought the
good graces of their gods. 1t was impos
sible for me to conceal my agency in the
matter, and so ! had to assume the role
of chief god and convince them that their
transformation into giants was proper and
for their own good. This does not mean

my discovery of means for developing
special functions in the gland was the ad-
vent on the island of shipwrecked Por-
tuguese sailor. This man, though of low
order of intelligence, judged from the Eu-
ropean standard, had mind vastly supe-
rior to that of the natives, and his graft

and my ability to utilize his religious char
acter through his fears made him devoted

Verdict of a Coroner's Jury in
the Tragedy of the Deuss
Family.
THE WOMAN WAS INSANE.
Owing TO the Ncn-Arrival of Brother
ct the Woman the Cremation
Is Delayed.

H. 0. Deuss retold the story of his
domestic troubles TO Coroner Hawkins and
jury yesterday and the jury decided
that his wife was insane when she killed
her children and herself in her Guerrero
street home on Monday night.
The first inquest was held on the mother.
Deuss, who has somewhat recovered from
the shock of the tragedy, testified that he
last saw his wife and children alive at 8
o'clock on Monday evening. Mrs. Deuss
seemed to be in good spirits at that time.
She was subj ect to fits of insanity and
several times charged him with unfaith-
fulness. One evening, about four weeks
ago, she followed him, and when he re-
turned home later she declared that she
had seen him In the company of a blonde
woman. Since the tragedy he had learned
that his wife had visited clairvoyant,
who had told her that he (Deuss) was un-
faithful to her and was in the habit of con-
sorting with other women.
He was certain that as a result of her
visits to the medium her mind had been
upset, and attrIbut her actions to this
aff1i ction. On one occasion she called at
his place of business in the ThurIow block
on kearny street and charged him with
having a woman closeted in the place. She
was lnsanely jealous of him, and as a
result of her mperament they had several
quarrels. He upbraided her for her care
lessness in not correcting the children
when they did wrong, and wrote her
brother at Chicago that her conduct was
driving him crazy. His wife said to him
one day that if he died she would not live
after him. She loved him very much and
they were happy in their domestic relations
except for her jealousy.
Henry Fricke, a grocer, testified to
knowing Mrs. Deuss in her lifetime. She
had asked him several times the name of
the woman with whom her husband kept
company. He had told her that he had
never seen Deuss in the company of any
woman.
The verdict of the jury was to the effect
that Gretchen, Freda and Charles Deuss
''came to their death at S091l Guerrero
street, on March 81, from asphy xiation by
illuminating gas,'' and that 'they were
murdered by their mother, Olga Deuss.
while temporarily insane" and that 'Olga
Deuss committed suicide"
The mother and three children will be
cremated Tuesday morning. A brother of
the dead woman, George Krieger was ex-
pected to arrive from Chicago yesterday,
and owing to his delay the cremation was
postponed

In these arts under my instruction will not
cause the appearance of a maniacal strang-
Ter when the fellow shall finally land at
San Francisco.
Another factor which appeared in aid of
my enterprise was the kindness and gen
tleness of disposition discovered by the
giants whom l produced. At first these
prodigi Gus creatures had so formidable q
look that they filed the people at large
with terror, but presently, when it was
learned that they were really very docile
had enormous strength that was useful
on occasion and generally died young,
they became quite acceptable. Among
the ways which the native ingenuity found
to utilize them was the fording of deep
streams with others on their backs, the
determination of huge snakes which swal-
lowed infants, and the plucking Of fruits
growing above the reach of ordinary men,
Now comes the most interesting part of
the account-the specialization of the
glandular functions. Acromegaly had
given the clew to that possibility. The
problems presented for solution were these
l. Did acromegaly indicate that the
gland, instead of being homogeneous
body, was divided into hemispheres, each
hemisphere attending to the nourishing of
a side of the body?
2. AS each side of the body is composed
of many and unlike parts and as they in
some instances were unevenly developed
how could it be assumed that each hemi-
sphere of the gland had homogeneous
constitution?
3. Assuming that the gland was very
complex mechanism, having special
function in supplying building material
for each distinct part OF the body, how
might each or any number of these func-
tions be stimulated separately for the pro-
duction of such definite results as the en-
largement of one or more particular parts
selected for that purpose?
You will thus see that the study was ex-
ceedingly difficult, but / am happy to an

ming of it. That is to say can produce

1t will at once be evident to you that
there must be corollary of excessive arti-
fetal stimulation, namely, an atrophied
result. Thus. in the case of man for

exercised such an influence on the func-
ton determining the size of his other arm
as to cause it not only TO cease growing in
infancy, but actually to dwindle to an in
significant and useless appendage. A Curl
Gus and unexpected result of this expert
ment was shifting Of the normal arrange
ment of the thoracic bones, SO that the
long arm seemed to issue from the center
of the chest, the palm upturned, a natural
conservation of the feeding habit.
The general anatomical characteristics
OF these people are similar to those of
other races. This means that rudimcntary
hair covers the body as with US, and that
the coccyx in embedded. You may infer
the extent to which have carried the diff
ferentiations of the gland s functions when
inform you that by proper treatment l
can restore the original simian abundance
of hair and cause the coccyx to emerge
and form a true tail. An embarrassing ac.
compartment of the caudal experiment is
the eventual ossifcation of the joints. You
are aware that in infancy the coccyx is
iointed and flexible but that in time it be-
comes rigid, forming bone OF continuous
structure. The result has been followed
exactly in the cases of those for whom my
treatment has induced tail-the appen-
dage in time becomes rigid, and in that
condition is exceedingly annoying, re-
curing the wearers, in the absence of'am-
putation, to carry about with them a

tails of my experiments. The formul2
which l send herewith might be sub

clan of your acquaintance in order that the
truth of my discoveries may be proved.

knowledge of these matters would be ex-

| venture with much hesitation to sug-
gest that the gland to which he refers is
the pituitary gland, that obscure little
organ which lies on the under side of the
brain at the point where the optic nerves
cross on their way to the visual centers.
This is merely guess. Possibly some
person more scientific than 1 who may
happen to read this will be able to suggest
better explanation. l will add this
much only: That l know Entrefort to be
an extraordinary man and honest in what
he says, and that if it was really he who
wrote this account it is entitled to respect
full attention.
