Romance and crime have seriously in
tertered with the spiritual work of the
Volunteer movement in this city and for
several nights the little band has not been
seen at its accustomed place on the City
Hall steps. Captain Miles, who was in
charge OF the local post, has severed his
connection with the organization and is
now running a barber-shop. Last night
c. E. Campbell was arrested and charged
with forgery at the instance of man
who had paid SO on a check to which
Campbell had forged Miles name. Proba-
bly, no crime was ever brought to light by
a more circuitous route.
man named Dean was recently con-
verted at a Volunteer hall. After his con-
version he made confession that he was
going under an assumed name, because
he had been blacklisted by the railroad for
compl. city in the last big strike. He gave
out that his name was not Dean, but
Campbell. couple OF weeks ago friend
OF Miles received note purporting to be
signed by him asking for $40. Inquiry de-
veloped the fact that it was forgery.
Campbell, after his conversion, resolved
that he would atone for his many crimes,

was then arrested ami taken across the
bay to the San Francisco Jail.
Some time ago Rev. Kenneth Duncan,
Captain Miles and Campbell, alias Dean,
were all acouaintances in the work OF soul
saving, and had it not been for this Camp
bell would never have com mitted forgery,
and had he not been ultimately converted
his crime might never have been known.
About month ago the attractive secre-
tary of the corps Miss L. L. Writ fell in
love with and married Captain Patterson,
who was in charge of the po.t. After the
wedding they went to Tacoma, and since
then the Volunteer work has been consid-
erably crippled. and for several nights the
Volunteers have not been on the street, al
though it is stated they still have quar-

taken together have proved rather detri-

9OS Broadway, Aug. II.
1t Is very certain that the sensatioDa al
suit for the money of the Marston estate
by the widow and son from the East will
never be tried. All hands to the contro-
versy have shown a desire to settle mat
tiers amicably and quietly, and it is un-
likely that they will 60 into the courts.
1t now appears that the Western widow
and daughter were as ignorant during the
last quarter of a century o! Marston' dual
life as was his Eastern family. There is
an air of mystery over the whole affair,
but both families are prepared 10 make
sacrifices rather than sensational dis
closures.
The papers were served on the Califor-
mans Monday night by a clerk, who was
accompanied by f. Z. Marston, the East
ern son OF the deceased.
"To say that the Goodwin woman was
surprised when we acquainted her with
the object of our visit" said Z. Z. Mar-top,
would be to express it mildly. What
her object was in m owing so secretly from
her late residence | cannot say, but it is
certain from her manner that she never
anticipated any action such as | have
taken. l imagine every thing viii be set
tied amicabIy and without litigation. l

and l understand that my father left real
estate in vlrious parts OF the State, but l
hope to get everything straig ghtened out
in the course of week or so and leave for
home"
Judge Charles N. Fox declines to give
the woman's address. "She called on
me-" he said. land asked me the nature
of the proceedings She said she knew
me, but l do not rene m ber her. l would
not divulge her address on account of her
daughter who, she told me, is dangerously
i'll at this moment. She appeared to me
to be a gooG and gentle woman, but
whether there is a history 10 be developed
or not l cannot say.
'She told me she could readily prove
her marriage to Marston, and she seeme ed
heart-broken that any doubt had been en-
tertained as to the performance of such
ceremony. She said she would 20 into
court on the Is b and make a showing
then. She was more fearful than resent
1ul and seemed to be greatly shocked at
the position her daughter has been placed
IN We are simply going ahead to seek
just decision"
1t is believed that Mrs. Marston, or
Goodwin, was told by Marston that he had
been legally divorced, and that marriage
ceremony was performed. This, of course,
would place the dead man in the light of
a bgamst.
Miss Marston, or Goodwin, is now 20
years OF age, and is said to be very hand
some young woman.

creased, in order to give consumers a
chance 10 make provision against q short
age.
