Ugly Facts Conn
ing up in Calvin
Case.

pehCciui iuuiocf Cdiup, opo .ho"Sh hoe"-
ing of a new or startling nature beyond
what has already been published has
been brought TO light, the opinion that
johnson poisoned the dead man grows
more confirmed every day, says the
Truckee Republican.
The very fact that DR.. johnson or the
Calvin woman have not been heard from
and that their whereabouts are not deh-
nately known has even strengthened the
evidence that points to them as muir
derers
Sheriff Walker now has in his pos
session pictures OF the Calvin woman
and DR.. johnson. 1t is stated that he
is now preparing descriptions of the
couple. These will be sent throughout
the country in the event that charges
are preferred against them.
New stories begin to crop out each day
few weeks before Calvin's death DIR.
johnson had talk with one of the en-
ployes in the mill. The man had been
to the Klondike, and the physician took
a lively interest in the mans description
OF the country. finally asking him:
"What chance would a man with a
couple of Thousand stand up there?"
ale would be independent" replied the
mill man. DR.. johnson then asked the
man to draw him map outlining the
important points Of the country. This
was done, and when the physi ian left he
took the map with him. This is told to
substitute the suspicion that the ply
eician contemplated leaving the country
after Calvin's death.
The actions OF the woman are also
brought out more clearly every day, and
20 to show that she was not grleved over
the death Of her husband. A lady resi-
dent OF Hobart Mills, in speaking to a
iepu oli"an representative Monday said:
II was in the postofiice the morning
after Charlie died. ! had not been there
long when Mrs. Calvin walked gaily into
the Office, saluted those in the place in
smiling and pleasant manner, and went,
into the Office that had been occupied by
! her husband, where she secured a mum
Der OF his papers. She did not act like
one whose husband WAS then lyiug dead
| in the house half block away. Conn
ing out she was met by DIR johnson.
| The couple stood in the middle of the
street for at least ten minutes talking IN
confidential manner, after which the
Calvin 3oman handed the phsician the
papers SHE had taken from the Office, and
continued home. Her actions were wit
messed by quite number of people and
criticized III strong manner"
Another thing that looked suspicious
is the fact that Mrs. Calvin was in such
hurry to summon an undertaken and
have the body cmbaimed. 1t is stated
that her first request was to have the
body embaimed.
For several days prior to Mr.. Calvin's
death, Mrs. Calvin was urged TO send for
his sister. She delayed doing this with
the excuse that the Calvin girl could not
he of any help to the sick man. When
telegram was finally sent TO the Calvin
girl announcing the death of her brother
it was found that she could not arrive at
Hobart Mills in time to accompany the
body to Carson. Mrs Calvin insisted
on taking the body to Carson, but prom
ised to postpone the burial until the
arrival of the Calvin girl. Instead the
body was buried the same morning il ar
rived at Carson, the Calvin woman re-
turning to Truckee on the next train.
1t was said that upon her arrival here
she was met at the depot by Dr. john
son who secured a room for her in
local hotel.
Another theory advanced to substan-
tiate the guilt of Johnson and the Calvin
! woman is the fact that they persist in
keeping their whereabouts unknown.
III they are u t guilty" argue the people
of Hobart why do they hide away?
Why don they come forward and deny
the ugly charges now being made against
them
1t was reported in Truckee last week
that charges are to be preferred against
johnson in the local lodgesof Masons.
johnson belonged to that order. An ef-
fort was made to subtantate the report
but as business transact d by the order
is not given out for publication the ru-
NOR conld not be verified
Mrs. Calvin is now a member and Of
ficer OF the Truckee Chapter Of the East
ern Star. 1t was also rumored that the
members Of the order hold that even
though she did not help to murder her
husband her actions with DIR. Johnson
were not fitting for member OF the
order aud that she was to be expelled
from the order. An officer of the chap
ter stated to d Republican reporter that
thus fur charges have not been preferred
