GOLDEN IMPLICATED
IN THE MURDER OF ROACH AT
SAN PEDRO LAST MONTH
His Arrest in San Francisco Yester.
day Accounted for-Loaned
Savage the Revolver

Sheriff Burr was seen last night re-
garding the arrest in San Francisco
yesterday of 7. j. Golden on a charge
of murder. 1t appears that this charge
can scarcely be made to stick, as Golden
is thought to have been merely an ac-
cessory to the crime, if indeed he is con-
nected with it to such 'an extent.
Golden is believed by the prosecution
to have furnished Patrick Savage the
revolver with which the latter killed
VIM. Roach at San Pedro, October 9Th
Savage was tailor at that place and
he accused Roach of having stolen $50
from his clothes. Roach denied this
allegation and during an alteration in
the tailorshop Savage shot him, Roach
dying the following day.
Shortly after the preliminary eXami-
nation the prosecution became of the
opinion that another was concerned in
the tragedy besides Savage, and the
| investigation apparently indicated
Golden, as a complaint charging him
with murder was sworn to in San Pedro.
The extent of the evidence against
Golden is not known, but the authori-
ties learned that he and Savage were
intimate friends and they were reported
to have been together before the trag.
edy. 1t was during that time
that Golden is thought to have
loaned Savage the weapon. Golden
visited Savage at the county Jail short
Ily after the affair, but went to San
Francisco soon after. Sheriff Burr
Learned of his whereabouts and wired
the northern authorities to arrest him.

DRANK TO THE czAR's HEALTH
What Was Done With the Money He
Gave to the Poor of Paris

It is, as is we'll known, the custom of
royal personages, when officially visit
ing Paris, to hand over at the close of
their stay, sum of money, varying ac-
cording to circumstances, for distribu-
ton among the poor. Beyond the an
nouncement of the fact in the papers,
there is as rule little more heard of
these generous donations. A story has
just been made public, however, con-
cerning the most recent donations of
this character, which has caused no lit
tie comment among those who have the
real welfare of the poor at heart and
who have for long been loud in their
protestations against this sort of indis-
criminate charity.
When the czar left Paris at the end of
last year he handed over to the authori-
ties no less than 100000 for distribution
among the poor, and this, by order of
the public assistance department, was
divided among the Bureaux de Bien-
faisance, or outdoor relief offices, in
different parts of the city. The reliev-
ing officer in one district has views of
his own as to the best manner in which
to tender help to the really poor, and
he has always been doubtful as to the
ultimate destination of the money which
he has distributed on similar occasions.
In the present instance the cars gift
was divided into sums of two francs and
each applicant received a new two
franc piece. The official in question,
however, took the trouble to mark each
coin which he handed out, and some
days after the distribution he sent one
of his assistants to neighboring cab
aret to change there 10O0-franc note,
with the request that he might receive
as much of the change as possible in
two-franc pieces. A large proportion of
the coins brought back his superior
recognized as the money he had marked
and handed out to the so-called deserv-
ing poor day or two before. 1t was
evident that majority of the people in
his district, at all events, had gone
straight from the relieving office to the
public house, and had no doubt spent
the whole or greater part of the money
received by them in drinking the czar's
health. For some months the matter
was kept an official secret, but. as have
said, it has now been made public, with
the result that the whole system of out
door relief has been subjected to a hot
IRE VI CIlLlSISlAs IL ID POllAtCu OuI thctI
while they have been handing out mon
ey lavishly to habitual drunkards, and
to those whose poverty is the direct re-
suit of their own misdoing, the deserv-
ling applicants whom a little temporary
help might have put upon the path of
permanent employment are left to die
of starvation in their squalid cellars and
attics.
One of the papers. however, has inter-
viewed one of the actual recipients of
the czar's money, who endeavors to
make out that because the two-franc
pieces were changed at the tavern in
question it does not follow that the
whole sum was spent in drink. He AYERS
that it is the ordinary custom of the
wretched class to which he belongs to
take single glass of absinthe when

ates, and that she was sorry she haC
not taken enough to put her to sleeT
forever. He described her condition as
that of a person predisposed to melan-
cholia, and expressed the view that
she had committed suicide while in a
depressed state of mind.
Mrs. Berg, the girls former landlady,
testified that Miss Hollywell said she
had brain fever twice and feared she
would eventually lose her reason. The
girl was peculiar and excitable.
Mrs. Durgin. with whom the girl re-
sided, testified that she was always ret
icent, but apparently cheerful She
told the circumstances of the girls
death.
Louise Garland testified that she had
been asked to look after Anna by Miss
Gleason, who said the girl was in trou-
BILE.
Louis Patton, clerk of Druggist Lor-
in. testified that he sold morphine to a
young woman who gave her name as
Miss La Blanche, and her residence rs
2O4O Durant avenue, which proved to Dc
vacant lot. The girl spoke as If ad-
dicted to the use Of the drug and wanted
to use it hypodermically. He was un-
able to identify the remains as those OF
the young woman to whom he sold the
drug.
Charles McNulty, another druggist
testified that he sold morphine in pow
ders to the girl eight weeks ago.
The girls father was then recalled ano
testified that he knew no one by the
name of Eli S. King or r. J. Blythe.
The further hearing was postponed
until tomorrow night.
Coroner Baldwin tonight granted
Holllywell permissio nto take his daugh
ter's body to Redlands before the com
pletion of the inquest. He left Berkele,
with the corpse at 4:30 p. M. going di
rectly to the family home. where thu
funeral will be held. The father re
fuses to believe that his daughter com
mitted suicide. He says she took too
much narcotic by mistake to reliev'
pain.
Among the strange condolences in th'
case is the discovery of the man who's
name is Eli r. King. The name signed
to the mysterious letter that Miss Holly
we'll received last Monday is Eli r
King. The similarity is striking, bu
Eli r. King seems to have absolutel,
no connection with the affair. He live
at Los Angeles and was in Ventura to
