Letter Received by Him Is Produced in
 Court.
Purported to Come From the Office of the Chief of
 Police.
Preliminary Examination of Theo- dore P. Haynes Continued Until
 This Morning.

The preliminary examina lion of Theo- dore P. Haynes on the charge of murder ing Lieutenant Burke, was to have been continued before Judge Conlan yesterday morning, but when the case was called Attorney J. N. E. Wilson asked for a con- tinuance until to-day, as his associate at torney, MT. Sweeney, was unaVoldably detained in Sacramento.
 Prosecuting Attorney Mogan vigorously opposed continuance on the ground that it entailed hardship upon the witnesses, but the Judge thought as no continuance had been asked before the defendant was both of his counsel being present. The case was accordingly laid over until this morning at Il o'clock.
 Thomas Dudy, the witness examined on Saturday. was present, and produced the letter which he had received warning him as to the evidence he should give. The letter was received by him on March 26 through the post, and Is as follows:
 We write this to you to warn you to stop you of giving many false statements. We have one statement already. and We do not people who come around there. We under stand from your neighbors that you would have varied in every statement you. have given to bystanders. If we hear any more from you tage from you and show you no mercy. The idea of you saving the man is insa1e. We are Your your name on the books, and if you refuse to go to court we will kindly give you free ride and lock you up till the case Is over. Now, Tom. take friends advice and keep your mind to yourself, and for Gods sake do not drag your poor hardworkng wife into court. for you have done it before. Your neighbors speak very hard of you and say you a two face man. l remain. A FRIEND.
 VIII call and see you and give my name. By order of Chief Lees.
 No action was taken upon the letter, but it will probably be referred to when the case is called to-day. The police are inclined to look upon it as the production of some cranks who wanted to josh" Dudy, but tha view may not be taken by the Court, and the author may find him. self in serious trouble If he can be discov- cred.

Secret of It's Existence Died With the Woman
 Mason.
Belonged to Her Sister, Who Expired in an Insane
 Asylum.
Mrs. Salonae Anderson's Death Has Abruptly Ended Court
 Proceedings.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
 Q0Q

sos Broadway April f.
 Judge Ellsworth was forced to dismiss a citation to-day that it was thought, when issued might lead to some sensa- tional testimony. The hand of death, however, has closed the case.
 Several years ago man named Petzschler died and left an estate to his widow. He had made his will some years before his death, and beQueathed all his property to his wife. After making the will, his wife became a lunatic and was placed in an asylum The husband de clined to alter the terms of his will and to make provision for a guardian, so that when he died. she was incompetent to manage the estate.
 The sister of Mrs. Dorothea Petzschler was Mrs. Salome Anderson, who was known as the woman Mason" and who was buried a week ago. Mrs. Anderson, hearing some years ago of the estate left to her sister, and knowing her to be in competent, applied for letters of guard ianship over her sister and her estate. These were granted, and Mrs. Anderson took charge of the estate. Some time later her insann sister died and no atten- tiOn was paid to the estate, as there was, of necessity, no will. The property re- and was absorbed in her own personal estate.
 A few weeks ago the fact that Mrs. PetZscnler had left an estate was brought to the attention of the court, with the in- formation that the guardian had rendered no account.
 Judge Ellsworth issued a citation against the woman Mason" to show what she had done with her dead sister s property. The day after being served with the citation, Mrs. Anderson died. and no record of the lost estate can be found, and 1t is said to be impossible to | find out its exact value, or of what 1t con- sisted. or to segregate it from the Ander- | son estate.
 ! When Judge Ellsworth was informed 1 by Attorney G. E. de Golia of the death | of the woman Mason" he dismissed the l citation, and there is little hope now of 1 finding the insane sisters estate.

On n marble shelf,
No ono to hurry one,
No ono to worry one,
No homo lessons to be done,
No ono to say:

And nothing to do but swim.
