 The deceased wore as a watch charm an acorn cut in purple glass.
 The facts gleaned from an interview with Miss Donnadieu at her home last evening indicate that the notes sup posed to have been written by the dead man were probably the work of some one else. Miss Donnadieu knows a man named Conrad Masemann and from description of the body at the Morgue Is convinced that he Is the one she knew. He came to this city about three weeks ago with a letter If introduction to Miss Donnadieu from her father, who is in Panama The two had gone there from New York some time ago, and when Donnadieu learned that Masemann was going to San Francisco he wrote a letter to his daughter to notify her of the fact that he was sick. Miss Donnadieu says that Masemann was probably a Ger man, but that he spoke with very lit- tie accent and used excellent English When told of the notes found upon him she gave it as her opinion that a man who used as good language as Mase- mann would be able to write better English than that in the notes.

FRACIIOUS HORSES
 CAUSE HIS DEATH.
Burlingame Coachman Killed by Being Hurled From a
 Carriage.

REDWOOD CITY, April 1f.-Coroner James Grove was called tc ! an Mateo this morning to hold an inquest over the body of young man named Walter Ab- lett, who was killed by being thrown from a carriage yesterday morning near Burlingame. Ablett was coachman for Frank Carolan of Burlingame, but not withstanding his position was evidently highly cultured and we'll connected. That he had travelled extensively is shown by the great number of curios which he had in his possession. Among them were some gathered in Egypt with pictures of himself taken at Cairo in Egyptian cos tume A number of letters and pictures from friends and relatives in various parts of the world were found in his trunk. Upon his person was found a card bearing the address of his father, U. Alp lett. Friday Bridge, near Wisbeck, Cam bridge, England" Ablett was native of Scotland and about 30 years old.
 Yesterday afternoon Ablett started from the Carolan place with double team to take a friend named Smythe to San Mateo. The horses became unman- ageable and Smythe jumped out of the car riage. The team ran away, and at a bridge about 200 yards from the Carolan place the carriage was upset, throwing the driver out. He struck upon his head and was rendered unconscious. His skull was fractured and he died about o'clock yesterday evening.
The San Francisco call., 1898-04-17

in his vest pocket were found two white powders, evidently morphine, or strychnine, wrapped in piece of news paper.
 On the rules and regulations card posted on the wall were scrawled in lead pencil the following: Friday, April 15, 1898, o'clock. She has taken all and not a cent left. Good-by. My name is no good"
 On a torn sheet of note paper lying lead @ penci s sbe has bas Rob Robun, me fo of aI H. not one cent laft. Good biy." On an other sheet of paper, an advertising dodger for Klondike supplies, were the words in pencil: 'I am rob of all l had, so good biy. She not even left me one cent. April 15 1S9S."
 MT. Rudell told the following story: ''I was dozing in chair in the read tng-room at about half-past 1 o'clock yesterday (Friday) morning when this man came in with a woman and asked for room. He had been drinking and he held 50 cent piece in his hand, which he gave me for the rent of the room. The woman was about medium height, about as tall as l am, and did not take notice of her. We don't take notice of such people, anyhow. That was the first and the last I saw of either of them till saw the man dead. The bedmaker yesterday morning tried the door and found it locked. He thought that the landlord had made the bed, so he went away and said nothing about it. This morning he could not get in and there was no an swer to his knock. I knocked whole lot of times and then broke In the door and found that the man was dead"
 On the person of the dead man were found a bunch of three large brass keys, one of them resembling a pass or skeleton key. There was also another key with a brass check attached to 1t and the number 53. evidently room number, engraved upon it. It did not belong to the White House. There was an open-faced silver watch with the initials c. H. M. scratched on the back of the case and brass match box representing the profile of Colum- bus, with the name Conrad Mase- mann" engraved upon it. This is prob ably the name of the dead man.
 Coroner Hawkins at once reported the case to the police, as it was clear that robbery had been committed and possibly murder. If the dead man should be identified a comparison of the writing found in the room with a sam pie of his known writing will deter mine whether the robber added murder to the crime.
 Several addresses in pencil on the backs of hotel and other cards were
