MURDER AND SUICIDE THEo
RES.
a Man Said to Be a German Baron
Under Arrest-Dark Tragedy of
a Fourth-Street Lodging
49,. HOUSE.

About three years ago people were
shocked and women in the "tenderloin
district" were terTorized by the muir
derous deeds of a stranger. Several
women fell victims TO his fiendish lust
for blood, and all tine efforts of the po-
lice to discover his identity were futile.
The police are again confronted with
what some believe to. be the work Of a
stranger, the victim being also a
woman in low life.
The woman was Sadie Carpenter, who
occupied room 10 in the Hubbard House,
1879 Fourth street. So far as known,
she was last seen alive in her room
about 1870 o'clock Saturday night by
Joseph Won Lochner, who occupied an
adjoining room.
Lizzie Riley, who occupies room IL,
heard a noise as If some one were
moaning in room 10 about half-past l
o'clock yesterday morning, and notified
Alphonse Prieur, the night clerk, that
something was wrong in room 10.
Prieur knocked on Won Lochners door
and reused him from his sleep. To-
gether they entered room 10, and while
Prieur turned his attention to lighting
lHe gas On LOCuueI went " the Oeu
and found the woman was dead. A
piece of calico was tied tightly round
her throat and Won Lochner quickly
loosened It, Her face was still warm,
but her hands were cold.
Prieur notified Policeman Tuite and
the woman's body was removed to the
Morgue. About two hours later Won
Lochner was arrested and locked up IN
the tanks" pending an investigation.
There is nothing so far against him ex-
cept that he is the last one who is
known to have seen her prior to her
death He was a friend of the woman,
and 1t Is said that she was indebted to
him for many acts of kindness.
Detectives Dillon and O'Dea and Po-
licemen Tuite and O'Keefe were de-
tailed on the case. They closely exam
ined the room, but no sign of a strug-
gle could be found, nothing in the room
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1898-07-18

was dead but her face was still warm,
although her hands were cold.
Won Lochner was a lieutenant in the
German army during the Franco German
war and his friends say that he Is a
baron in his own right He receives a
pension of 1910 per year from the Ger
man Government. He Is a widower, hav-
ing a son employed as plumber in this
city. He came here In 1876 and was for
some time employed by G. Ehmann, a
photographer on Fourth street His
friends say that he was never known to
be in trouble before.
The one roomer In the house who seems
to hold the key to the situation is Mrs.
Lizzie Riley, but the police doubt her
story. Her room Is No. IL, adjoining the
one In which the dead woman was found
Mrs Riley's story runs as follows: y

o'clock this morning by scuff1ing noise,
which I could not at first locate, It
seemed to come from overhead at first,
but when fully awake l discovered II to

cupied by Sadie. This noise soon ceased
and gave way to peculiar scrapins
sound, like spool Of cotton running over
the floor. This continued some twenty
minutes. became very nervous and was
determined to see what was the matter,
when the door of Sadie Carpenters room
opened and then was closed with a bang.

and down the stairs to the street.

Substantial Justice.

Z A few lawyers were sitting in one Of
the city restaurants o few days ago
eating lunch, aud discussing different
e9biects. when one Of them told the
t6ty6wing story:
This occurred some years ago in the
Office of former Justice of the Peace.
An attorney, who has since left Sioux
City, had been engaged to defend q
man for the crime of petty larceny.
The lawyer knew that the case against
his client was . pretty strong one, and
he decided to beard the lion in his
den. As he entered the room he told
the Justice Of the case, the name Of
his client, and added that he did not
think there was any evidence to con-
,vict. At the same time he slipped
$40 gold piece in the hand of the JUS
tice, and gave him knowing wink.
The Court said nothing, but, pulling
open the cash drawer, slipped Ethe
money in. The case went to trial, and
after the evidence had all been intro.
duced there appeared 70 be no ques
tion Of the guilt Of the defendant. But
his counsel was confident, thinking
the gold piece had done the work. The
Court then summed up the case.
and. to the astonishment Of the de-
fendant's counsel, said:
Tho Courts finds the defendant
guilty as charged in the information,
and fines him 800, OF which amount
120 has been paid. The defendant
