disposition OF his body, and gave informa-
ton that all the preparations Tor its cre-
matlon had been made.
About ten days o Wallace went to the
Undertaking parlors OF Suhr d Co., on
MISSION street, and notified them that he
was to undergo an operation at the French
hospital, and that it was not possible Tor
MIN TO recover. He was little nervous,
and wanted to make all arrangements for
the funeral, so that his friends would be
renewed OF that trouble. He wanted the
undertakers 10 take charge of his funeral
ana to have 1t as simple rs possible.
He told the underwriters that he had
been to see Mr.. Gibson, the manager of
Oad Fellows Cemetery, and had arranged
with him for the cremation of his body,
and that Gibson had sent him to them to
take charge of the remains and prepare
the body for cremation. He asked what
the charges would be for the underwriters
services, and pr ce was set at SIS He
said the money would be deposited with a
friend, Mr.. Burns, who had an Office in
the Croker building.
The deceased had lived in San Francisco
LOT several years, and he was more or less
interested in mining. He went 10 Cripple
Creek during the first outbreak of the ex-
cltement there, and became interested in
several mines. but they did not prove
very profitable.
He was well supplied with money, and
while in the city EN- barked in numerous
business enterprises with poor success.
Recently he has been doing nothing, ana
his friends looked upon him a man of
leisure with sufficient funds to keep him
IN moderate circumstances. His diary,
however, dlscloses the fact that all he had
left OF his money was about $500, and it is
now believed that the loss OF his income
was the cause of his act.
Wallace held for a time position in a
Seattle bank as cashier and previous to
that time he managed a bank in Guthrie,

COWARDICE PART OF THE CRIME.
Reputable Business Men at Once De-
tect the Fraud and Suspicious as
to Its Perpetrator Arise.

To look with respect upon an enemy is
possible. But for the enemy who skulks
in the shadow, stabbing furtively at the
back of one he dare not face, there is
nothing but detestation. The author of q
malign lie, afraid to reveal his evil
personality, impelled not by shame but
by coWsrdice to conceal his name and
purpose. is an enemy of this sort.
1t bsfell not long ago, as the public
knows, that THE CALL had opportunity
to aid an expedition to the Arctic for the
Iescus of scores of whalers i'm prisoned in
the ice threatened with death from fam
Inc or from cold. 1t did its part gladly,
and is able to believe did it well. After
sailors had been supplied bountifully ne
cessity arose for buying outfits for the Off
GERS of the Bear. The vessel was at Sc
attic scheduled to sail on the 18th of
November. On the 23d the commander
made known to THE CALL that certain
raimept and equipment were needed by
the officers Of the vessel.
To have obtained these things in San
Francisco and get them to the ship in
time would have been impossible. There
fore they were purchased IN Seattle. That
was all; surely nothing in the nature of a
crime. Life was at stake. Had the ship
been in China the articles would have
been bought in Hongkong as quickly. 1t
WAS no moment for weighing detail.
None but a creature com bining the
traits of the lowest order of man with
those of the coyote and the RATHER would
have found IN the circumstance chance
for a howl and q hiss. Yet somebody has
found it. Somebody more base than
brave. more cunning than wise, has
through the medium of a circular, floated
anony mously, attacked THE CALL, using
this transaction as a preteXE. There will
be developments. One of these will he a
vigorous prosecution of the criminal
offender for misuse of the mails. And as

IS more than mere liar. Not content 10

suit that promises to develop some of
the most sensational imaginable features
was filed in the Superior Court yesterday
afternoon. 1t Is the complaint of J. +.
Turner, the well-known real estate agent,
against Joseph P Frenna. On It's face it
is mple claim for a bout $50, 900, alleged
to be due on a note OF hand, which is
secured by divers mortgages In reality
it is supplemental to the suit of the same
plaintiff against Jacob Bertz for the sum
of S124 coo. There is nothing on the face
of either complaint to show the fires that
promise to belch forth before the litiga-
ton is ever.
According to the plaintiff, these suits
are the beginning of what promises to
make a long, bitter and interesting fight
for his own vindIcation against the grave
charges that have from time to time been
made against him in the criminal courts
of the State. He has already been cleared
of the charge of forgery, winning his case
in the Supreme Court. In grand larceny
charge, based on the same facts, the Jury
disagreed in Judge Cooks court ana the
defendant is demanding that he be tried
again as soon as possible. He says he is
eager tor the fray. On a perjury case,
growing out of the same facts, the case Is
now on appeal to the Supreme Court. The
jury found the defendant guilty, but he
SAYS he fe els confident he will win
Turner protests that he is innocent of
every charge made against him. He SAYS
he is ready to show in the most positive
manner that he is the victim of a con-
splracy by l.. S. MagginsOn, Joseph P
Frenna and Jacob Bertz, who are charged
with laying plans by which to place hi
in the penitentiary and get from him
property of the value of more than half a
million dollars. BertZ is money lender
and restauIateur, while Frenna is a we'll
known barber at Suffer and Polk streets
Magginson is Spectator and real estate
man.
Speaking of the matter last night Tur-
ner said: 81 have submitted the record of
my life to a syndicate of milIionaires and
business men who have some business
with me. l have offered to show Chief
Lees a com plele record of all nv acts

of Police and District ATTORNEY and have

OVER
The suit filed yesterday alleges that
Frenna took a note and mortgage from
plaintiff for the sum of $24 600. collecting
the money and making no account there
for. He alleges that all the property thus
disposed of was decided by him TO defend
ant in trust.

thief for him. To give the circular an ap-
pearance OF good faith the schemer had
to have statement clipped from THE
CALL.
a boy was sent to newsdealers to secure
all the copies of the paper he could nre-
tending that he had been sent fro THE
CALL office. This incident was the first
lnkling that new piece of villainy was
aiooi, and wonder arose as TO the form it
would assume Soon the circulars began
10 appear. ana the motive for tho subter-
fuRe was plain.
The matter is OF far more importance to
the public than to THE CALL. 1t shows
that there are scoundrels blacker than the
footpad who menaces the wayfarer, more
oo|aroiy than the wleider of the sandbag,
and yet without police interference able
to attack citizens and institutions. To be
sure the attack is stealthy, and made from
a point of supposed security.-the assail.
ant yelled, but thinly, very thinly, Hap.
