BUTCHER GREETS HIS FATHER.
Affecting Interview in Prison, After
Which Plans for the Defense
Are Made.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 22.-The latest
theory in regard TO the two fractures on
the skull of murdered George w. Scho-
field found by DR.. John Mcmahon, and
believed by him to have been caused by
blows from some blunt instrument and
not by the bullet which produced death,
is that they were made when Schofeld
fell after receiving the fatal shot.
When the body was first discovered by
the neighbors the head was resting on a
pile of mortar and brick. Contact with
the sharp substances may have caused the
and if, as DR.. Mcmahon says, death was
instantaneous he might have fallen with
such force as to have cracked his skull.
Dan butcher was visited to-day by his
father, an elderly man OF respectable ap-
pearance, who lives in San Francisco.
The meeting was an affecting one. Both
were in tears when Jailer Black entered
to announce that dinner was coming.
butcher was both surprised and pleased
by the visit He had not seen his father
for over a year, and believed him to be
dead. Mr.. butcher Sr. sought Y. A.
Scheller alter the interview with his son,
and late in the afternoon they held a
lengthy conversation with the prisoner,
in which the facts of the shooting were
gone over anu Tue pldu Va uclcuSe ueuulle-
~ outlined.
1t is now definitely known that the
FORBADE boy TO whom Dulcher told the
story of the row at the Schofield breakfa
table on Friday morning and announced
that he would kill the old man if he
abused his wife any more was not Charles
but younger brother-a little fellow of
nine or ten years who attends the Para
disc school On account of his age it may
not be deem ed advisable to call him as a
witness
Mrs. Schofield and butcher will be ar.
raigned before Judge Lorigan at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning. IL is believed that
separate trials will be demanded and that
butchers case will come first on the
docket. AS both the prosecution and the
defense are not adverse to an early trial.
it is believed that Butchers case Will find
place on the September calendar.
The failure to find the shells of the rifle
used by butcher is causing some specula-
lion in the Sheriff office.
Dutcher has from the first stuck to the
story that he threw the shells away while
he was running from the shed through
the orchard 10 the kitchen. Every square
foot of ground has been inspected without
result. II, as many believe, the shot was
fired from some other point than behind
the shed, then it is possible that a further
search may not only result in the discov-
ery of the missing smells, but also bring to
light evidence to show that butchers
statement as to his position when he
killed Schcfield was pure fabrication.

Whether in the form of pill powder
or liquid, the DOCTORS prescription for
blood diseases is always the same
mercury or potash. These drugs bottle
up the poison and dry it up in the
system, but they also dry up the marrow
in the bones at the same time.
The suppleness and elasticity of the
joints give way to stiffness, the rack
ing pains of rheumatism. The form
gradually bends, the bones ache, while
decrepitude and helplessness prema-
turely take possession Of the body, and
1t Is but a short step to pair OF
crutches. Then comes falling OF
the hair and decay of the bones, "a con-
dition truly horrible.
