A DISCREET BARONESS
Harden-Hickey's Widow Refuses to Be
Interviewed-Talk of Trouble

RIVERSIDE, Feb ESQ far the report
ers have been unable to secure an interview
with the Baroness Harden-H Hickey. and all
stories of interviews sent out from this
city are fakes, pure and simple. The
baroness has recently leased one of the
fine residence on North Brockton avenue,
known as the Jerecki place, but at the
time OF the suicide of her husband She
had not as yet moved in, and pending
the lifting up of the house she has been
the guest of different families down the
avenue A Herald reporter sought an in
terview with the lady today, but on calling
at the Brockton avenue house was in
formed that she was at Corona.
Months before the date of the suicide of
the baron rumors of his disagreement with
the baroness were current here, and the
very general impression was prevalent
that they had separated, but no divorce
proceedings have ever been filed in this
county.
One thing is certain and that is that the
death of her husband has not affected the
baroness sufficiently to cause her TO make
any move towards going TO San Francisco
whittier it is understood that she ordered
the body shipped. Up to very recent date
the baroness resided much of her time at
Corona, where she is the owner of some
very fine property.

known, and his wife. Collins had been on
more or less friendly terms with his un-
savory neighbors. and slept'in q poor ex-
cuse for shelter very near to their shack.
Pete is fisherman by occupation, and
he and Mrs. Pete spend most of his small
earnings for bad whisky. The latter when
sought by officer Dexter was found in bed,
sleeping off the effects of too generous IN
dulgence the night before. Inquiry showed
that Pete had disappeared and his wife
told conflicting stories concerning his
whereabouts. at first saying he had
gone to the old Santa Monica canyon,
and then that he was fishing, finally an
nouncing that he was in Los Angeles, and
trying to stick to that assertion.
On February 9th Collins purchased bill
of lumber from Nebeker, the lumberman,
to the amount of $3.50 After he paid for
the ma aterial two twenty-dollar gold pieces
were seen in his hand by Mr.. Nebeker. and
Collins remarked that he would soon be in
for some more lumber, as he intended to
build a good house.
When found there was no money in the
pockets of the dead mans clothes and his
watch was missing. Officers We're detailed
to watch the house, and at 6 o'clock last
night Officer Dexter found Pete standing
on the sidewalk at the terminus of the cleo
trio line. counting some money. He had
just returned from Los Angeles. and was
Oeckeu out III new Sult OF ClOtheS from
hat to boots, and was counting up his cash
on hand. The officer thought the evidence
against him sufficiently strong, and lock ed
him UP until after the inquest should be
held.
PETE'S RECORD
Deputy County Coroner Summerfeld left
ut o'clock for Santa Monica, where an
investigation of the surroundings and
general facts was made. Everything point
ed to the fact that Indian Pete" was
closely connected with the horrible crime
and immediate steps were taken to guard
the prisoner closely, who had already an
nounecd his intention of breaking jail be-
fore another twenty-four hours had passed.
The inquest will be held this morning by
Coroner Campbell.
Indian Pete" is quite well known to the
local police, and he has for some time
occupied fairly prominent place in the
"rogues gallery" Detective Aube knows
him well, and characterizes him as a nat
ural-born criminal. He spends his sum-
mers at Santa Monica, where he lives on
shellfsh, selling what he cannot eat. He
has frequently appeared before the local
courts here on charges of petty larceny,
etc, and little surprise is expressed at his
latest escapade. He will, in all probability
be brought TO the county jail today.
