Mrs. Tunnel is one OF the most i'm.

figuring in the Brown case

OF Rev. DR.. G. o. Brown, has affirmed with
much emphasis that Mrs. Tunnel is the

at this stage of the case it may be inter-
esting to reproduce III part at least an in
terview had with Mrs. Tunnel by a CALL
reporter while that lady was at the home
OF Mrs. Hayes in VisaIia. In some few
important details the statement made by
Mrs. Tunnel at that time differs material
ly from the story told by Miss Overman on
the witness-stand. This is particularly
true as concerns the mode of exit on the
night of her hasty flight from the Brown
house. The CALL of January 10 contained

but the chair was vacant, and all that
could suggest Stevenson to visitor of the
present time was the book on a table close
by, or the familiar photograph on the wall
at the farther end of the room.
1t was at the Washington block that
Mrs. Osborne resided before her marriage
to the novelist, and when Stevenson
crossed the ocean to meet his bride he
took up his residence at the same place
From this building Mr.. Stevenson and
Mrs. Osborne went to be married, and later
they returned and made their home there
until the time for departure to the South
Seas.
The room that the Stevensons occupied
is room 6, on the third floor OF the build
ing, and it is still known as the Stevenson
room, and all that remains there of his

lady is the present occupant.
Washington block is one of the best

years ago. San Francisco's society long
ago fled from the region, followed by the
more aspiring business houses, and only

less arlstocratic type the author found
some of his literary characters.

Bruce Porter, the originator of the me-
mortal project, is confident that the Su-
pervisors will permit the fountain to be
located there. He says that if one design
is not accepted others will be offered, and
it is the desire only to erect fountain or
monument that will be regarded as
genuine art work and of which the City
may be proud.
This will be the only city in the United
States to have Stevenson monument"
said Mr.. Porter. at is the only American
city that has any claim to a portion of the
celebrated authors life. The people in
the East concede that point, and, with
characteristic, unselfsh action in the in
terest of art and literature, they even con-
tribute their money to aid in the erection
of memorial TO be located in the City of
San Francisco.
would it not be preposterous for this
City to reject statue under all these cir
cumstances, with Henry Irving, George
Cable Andrew Lang, John Muir, Bliss
Carmen, Louise Chandler Moulton and
others of that rank among the subscribers
who offer the monument TO San Francisco?
Is it not time that the literary and art
loving people of San Francisco take an in
terest IN this matter and insist that the
monument be accorded a place in the
plaza, nearest to Stevensons old haunts?
But do not think that the Supervisors
will offer any objections when the designs
are properly presented to them, and do
not think that any body will be permitted
TO ridicule away an undertaking as serious
and well-intended as this one, which has
aroused enthusiasm even as far away q S

office in the Chronicle building on De-

account with the Nevada Bank by deposit

to $22 600, the date changed from Decem-
Der to 13 and the name from A. j. Scott
to A. II. Dean, all in very skillful and
ingenious manner.
Captain Lees at once made an investiga-
ton and he obtained valuable information
from Walter &. Lytle, an office-boy en-
gagged by Dean on the morning of Decem-
Der Is, and who was with him in buggy
when he drew the $40, 600 from the Nevada
Bank. The captain got description of
Dean from the boy, and also description
of man who called al the office to see
Dean before they went to the bank. He
also got descriptions of Dean from the
cashier and paying teller in the Nevada
Bank and others. He made composite
description and forwarded it with other
data to w. A. Pjnkerton. Chicago, and

man resides, and the other is the familiar
painted appeal:
Please Ring the Bell.


......................-...
A CALL artist complied with the latter
request and Mrs. A. Niles, the lanoiaoy,
responded to the summons.
Mrs. Niles is pleasant, benevolent
looking woman, and she is so great an ad-
mirer of Stevenson and so proud that the
author once lived there that she probably
would not exchange the house for any
other in the City. She occupied a room
in the building at the time of the Steven
son marriage and has acquired control OF
the premises since that time.
When Mrs. Stevenson came from Samoa
last year sne stayed in that building,
which had been her home at the time OF
her wedding. Her son-in-law, Joseph
Strong, the artist, has a permanent resi-
dence there.
The room that Mr.. and Mrs. Stevenson
occupied is a large, commodious one, look
ing out upon Montgomery avenue at the
Montgomery-street junction. 1t is COM
fortably furnished, much as it was at the
time of the distinguished occupants.
There is a fireplace at one end of the
room, and before it stands large, uphol-
stored and inviting-looking rocking-chair,
which the great writer is supposed to have
occupied.
Mrs. Niles remembers Stevenson well,
and she speaks of him as the quiet
m modest-mannered man that the world has
known him to be. She has great regard
for Mrs. Stevenson, who remained there
five months last year.
1t is on account of the residence OF Ste
venson at this place that Portsmouth
square, near by, has been chosen as site
for the proposed Stevenson fountain.

J. Shaw. The cashier of the Minneapolis
bank mistrusted the man and upon look
ing through the gallery OF bank crooks
found his face.
Shaw was found to be working in col
fusion with Woods, and both men were
shadowed by detectives OF the Pinkerton
agency. Woods made two trips to proml-
nent Minnesota and Dakota towns and
bought drafts, which he turned over to
Shaw. There was also an interchange OF
checks between them, showing conclu-
slyely that their game was the same;
Saturday morning Woods went to the
st. Paul National Bank and closed his ac-
count, saying that he was going to New
York. This was thought by the detectives
to be an indication that Shaw was ready
to lay down the raised paper in Mime
apolis. Rather than let Woods escape he
was arrested after he had made all ar
rangements to leave the city. His arrest
