Deputy Sheriff Barn'iili Tells How His Pri.
sonfP Fooled Him

The story of the escape of George Hec-
tor. sentenced to San Quentin for five
years on a conviction for burglary, was
told by Deputy Sheriff Barnhill, who
had the prisoner in charge. yesterday.
Barnhill bears the reputation of being
a careful officer, but he confesses that
Hector fooled him badly when he made
his escape about a mile north of Selma
station, on Thursday. In relating the
circumstances the deputy sheriff said
that he and his prisoner occupied a dou-
BILE seat The brakemen, prisoner and
myself had been talking together" he
said. when the brakeman arose to call
the Selma station. AS he left the car
Hector stretched out with his knees
against the cushion and with his head
upon his arms on the back of the seat
l then laid back with my head on the
back and resting my legs on the back of
the opposite seat upon which Hector's S
head was resting. ! then placed my
hand over my eyes to protect them from
the lamp directly overhead.
I'VE made a short stop at Selma and
! the train had gone about a mile when
| the brakeman entered and touched me
on the shoulder, asking me where my
| prisoner was. Sure enough he was gone.
| He had contriVed to raise his feet and
| without any noise had slid through the
| window"
| Not a trace of Hector could be found,
| and as no blood could be found upon the
| track he cannot have suffered any great
| damage. The deputy discovered that
! he has friends living about Selma, and
| doubtless they helped him into hiding.

TWO CALIFORNIA STAPLES
Beans and Barley That May Be Ex-
ported TO Japan
President Asane Much Interested IN These
Products-A Market for AL That
Can Be Raised

Two Southern California staples that
may be exported to Japan in the event of
direct steamship connection between
San Diego and the Orient are beans and
barley. In travelling to San Diego sew
eral days ago the attention of President
Asano of the new japanese steamship
company was attracted by thresAir z
machine in operation on the San Joaquin
ranch.
What is that?" inquired the japanese
millionaire.
That is threshing machine thresh-
ing barley" replied one of the gentlemen
from Los Angeles who accompanied him.
On being told that this ranch alone
produced over 100000 sack of barley this
year, the better grades of which were ex
ported to foreign countries for brewing
purposes, Mr.. Asano inquired as to the
prices received, and said:
why. We would take a large quantity
at those figures. Our people are acquir-
ing the beer-drinking habit. and there
are already three breWeries in the coun-
try which send all the way to Germany
for their malt and hops"
1t struck the steamship magnate that
barley might go long way toward maxi
ing up the cargoes of the steamships
which he is thinking of sending to San
Diego. His enthusiasm over this idea
was increased on reaching San Diego by
seeing British schooner loading 60, 900
sacks of barley from the San joaquin
ranch for Liverpool
A 1000-acre bean patch on the San
Joaquin ranch was also pointed out to
Mr.. Asano and he grew quite interested
in 1t. This is the first year that beans
have been planted extensively on the
San joaquin, and they are doing very
well. The Ventura crop is also reported
TO be In good condition thus far, so that
an immense amount of beans will prob
ably be produced this year
Mr.. Asano said large quantities of
chinese beans are consumed in Japan.
These are very small and of very infer
Tor quality. They are used principally
in soups, and the skins and refuse are
converted into fertilizers. The skins of
these beans are so tough that they do
very well to make cartwhees of when
subjected to hydraulic pressure of suffi.
clent power, on the same principle that
carwheels are made of paper in this
country.
Mr.. Asano thought It possible that
California beans. owing to their superb
orlty over Chinese beans, could be sue
cessfully introduced into Japan and be-
come cheap and wholesome article of
food in that country. He is anxious to
see the experiment tried, and if success
ful. beans will become an important fac
tor in the trade with Japan
President Asano while here made par
tlai ARRANGEMENTS to send a consign-
ment of 1000 barrels of Japanese cement
TO southern California for trial. He IS
confident that it will meet all the re-
quirements of the best Portland cement
ana he says he can furnish it much
Gheaper than 1t can be imported from
Europe.

SAN JOSE, Cal, May 27.-The most
horrible crime in the history of the
county was perpetrated at Campbell.
small place about six miles southwest
of this city, this morning.
Colonel R. Z. McGlincy and wife.
their daughter, Mrs. James Durham,
James Wells, son of Mrs. McGlincy,
hired woman. Minnie Shester, and
hired man, James Briscoe, were killed
by James Durham, a son-in-law Of Col
onel McGlincy. who made his escape.
About midnight neighbor by the
name Of Page heard the report of shots
in the direction of the McGlincy home.
Almost Immediately thereafter there
came the sound of galloping up the
county road. Hurriedly dressing, Page
proceeded to the home of the McGlin
cys and was Mortified to find the body
of McGlincy lying in an clubhouse
IN A POOL OF BLOOD.
Entering the house he found the bod
les of James Wells, who had been shot;
Mrs. McGlincy ard her daughter. who
had been stabbed to death by the as
sassin, and the hired man and girl,
who had been hacked to death with a
hatchet.
The interior of the rooms where the
bodies of the victims lay were be-
spattered with blood. and there was
every evidence to show that the dead
had made a desperate struggle for their
lives. Page, finding that all were be-
yond help, notified the authorities in
this city.
At a. m. one of the officers returned
to the city from the scene, and in an
interview said: THE scene at the Nc
Glincy home is one almost beyond the
power of description. In the reception
room was found the body of Wells.
A TERRIBLE STRUGGLE.
Evidently terrible struggle had ia
ken place between Wells and the as
sassin. Wells was shot two or three
times.
I'm the reception room, adjoining, no
bodies were found, but the furniture
was literally smashed into fragments,
showing that a fearful fight had taken
place there.
Adjoining the dining room was the
apartment occupied by Mrs. McGlincy.
There she was found literally slaShed
to pieces with a Ratchet. Blood was
everywhere, and as in the room of
Wells, there were evidences of ter
rible struggle having taken place be-
tween the poor woman and her fiend-
ish son-in-law The other victims were
found in other apartments.

riding rapidly toward San Jose on
horseback Family troubles are said to
have caused the murder.
