PURSE SNATCHERS ARE
IDENTIFIED BY VICTIM

Who Will Now Be Charged With

Miss E. Figuera of 1919 Hayes street, in
company with Mrs. j. H. Wade of s61
Post street, visited the City Prison yes
terday and positively identified Frank
Williams, James Thompson and S. T.
Holmes as the men who snatched Miss
Figuera's purse from her hand at the
corner of Post and Leavenworth streets
on Saturday evening last
When arrested Thompson had in his
possession two of the handkerchiefs and
a knife belonging to Miss F'iguera and
which were in her purse at the time of
the robbery.

store on Stockton street

bound her and turned on the gas, the only
was a tall man with a dark complexion
The chief pointed out to her certain in
consistencies in her statement of the af-
fair and she said she did not know
whether or not the man had turned on
the gas. The chief advised her to go
home and return when she had made up
her mind to tell him the truth and she
said she would.
STORY NOT BELIEVED.
The police believe that the gas was not
turned on, as DR.. Quigley, who attended
the woman, said she showed no signs of
gas asDhyXiation and nobody could be
found to say positively that they smelled
gas in the woman's bedroom. They are
even inclined to think that the whole af-
fair was put up by the woman herself to
get Mondragon into trouble.
When questioned last evening Abbie
Hassell stuck to her story that she had
been bound and gagged and that an at
tempt had been made to kill her by means
of Illuminating gas.
She again admitted that she had lied
when she had accused her former hus-
band of an attempt on her life, and from
the many conflicting statements made by
the woman there is little doubt that
she has sought notoriety and that the
sensational story she told in the first in
stance was bat fabrication. The police
officials will not waste any more time on
the woman's claim that an attempt was
made to kill her. as they are satisfied that
her story has absolutely no foundation.

~ plOyed at the residence of Mrs. I.
N McNab. 1879 Waller street, has ad-
Il IN mitted that she lied when she ac-
cused her former husband, Law
renee Mondragon, of attempting to kill
her on Monday morning and confessed
that she was actuated by vindictiveness
because, as she expressed herself, "he
was mean to me for the three months
lived with him"
Yesterday Detectives Wren and Cody
found Mondragon at a barber shop at 121
Suffer street, where he is employed. He
was able to prove conclusively by several
witnesses that at the time of the alleged
crime he was two miles away from the
house He further said he had not seen
the woman for eight months and had no
desire to see her.
FALTERS AND CONFESSES.
Chief Whitman instructed the detectives
to bring the woman and Mondragon to his
Office yesterday afternoon, and when they
were confronted the woman asserted that
Mondragon was guilty. He vehemently
denied this and satisfied the chief that he
could prove an alibi by at least five repu-
table witnesses. Finally, after Mondra
gon had been sent away, the chief put
the woman through a sweating process
and she confessed that Mondragon. was
not guilty, but said she had blamed him
because he had been mean to her and he
was capable of doing such a thing"
The chief could not get her to admit
that she knew the man she alleged had
