SENSATION PROBABLE
San Francisco Call Is Authority For
Statement That May Prove TO
Reuder Frenchmen's Ses.
timony Untrue.

San Franciso, April 4S.-The Gall
says startling developments are prom
ised in the Charles Fair case, now be-
fore the New York courts. 1t is al
legged facts would come to light here
most damaging to the testimony given
few days ago in New York by Lu-
Glen Mas and Alfred ]. Morane, French
men, who were called to recount GER
tain incidents attending the death of
Charles Fair and wife in France
which, if true. would strongly tend to
establish as fact that Mrs. Fair sur
viVed her husband, and thus left her
own relatives direct heirs tc a fortune
inherited under these circumstances to
her husband.
1t has been learned, continues the
Call that the skull of the late Mr.. and
Mrs. Fair, whose bodies were shipped
back to San Francisco after they had
been relinquished by the French au-
thorities, have been reserved, and are
now in the custody Of responsible per-
sons here, ready to be produced when
the time comes for refuting evidence
given at New York. Whether they
will be sent to New York or remain
here is matter that is wholly depend
ent upon a move that is to be shortly
undertaken to have the case transfer
red to the courts of this city
When the bodies of the Fairs were,
received in New York from France
they were discovered to be in such
deeomposed condition that it was
deemed advisable to hasten the fune-
raj in San Francisco. It is stated that
the funeral was followed by an autopsy
that included decapitation of both
bodies, an operation that was made by
Drs. Galway and Robinson. The tes-
t1mony of Mas and Morane that Mrs.
Fair was living when they approached
the bodies and blood was streaming
down one side of her face is contradic-
ted by the concrete evidence of the
Woman's skull. 1t can be shown by the
skull that such would have been i'm
possible, it is claimed. The skull oil
