A FRISCO MURDER MYSTERY.
Mysterious Murder of Joseph Han
sci, a German BREWER From VAL
lejo, in San francisco.

San Francisco, July 1.-THE police
of this city are confronted with a
murder ease that is shrouded in alb
solute mystery. The body of a man
was found, Friday night, on the
streets in an outlying residence dis
trict, and when removed to the
morgue a superficial examination dis
closed a punctured knife wound in the
neck. The wound in itself was not
sufficient to have caused death. The
autopsy surgeon made closer inspec-
ton and found that the skull had
been fractured and the yertebrae at
the neck broken. The surgeons said
that the man had evidently been MUIR
dered. The man was identified as Jo-
seph Hausel, a German brewer, who
came to this city two days ago from
Vallejo.

NEW FACTS DEVELOPING.
Fresh Evidence is Being Brought to
Light at San Rafael.

San Rafael. Cal, July 10.-New
facts are developing all the time in
the Woods-Best case under the thor
ough probing it is receiving from the
authorities of Marion county. COMFY
Meghitti, a servant in the Woods fam
lily for six months prior to the de-
mise of Col. Best, stated that. she
saw DR.. Woods give Best a hypoder-
mic injection of some drug. Shortly
after he began groaning and soon be-
came unconscious, never regaining his
senses. This, Miss Meghetti says, was
about April 1, 1903. Coroner Sawyer,
in whose establishment the body of
Col. Best was embalmed, could not
say if any of the organs had been re-
moved. His deputy handled the case.
He, when questioned on the subject,
would not commit himself, but said
that when the proper time arrived he
would tell all he knew about the en-
balming.

STUFFED WITH SANDUy7.
Peculiar Development in the Case oil
Col. w. J. Best, Who Died
in San Rafael, Cal.
AN AUTOPSY HELD At CALDWELL, N. j..
The stomach, n Digestive and 9th
err Organs with the Lungs Found
to Have Been Removed and the
Cavity Filled with Sawdust-A
False Certificate.

Newark, n. j., July 10.-At the de-
mand of his sons, an autopsy was
held at Caldwell, N. j., on the body
of Col. w. j. Best, who died in San
Rafael, Cal, in the home of DR.. John
ID. Woods.
1t was ascertained that the body
had been opened once before, in all
likelihood before il was sent east, and
that the stomach, the digestive and
other organs, with the lungs had
been removed and sawdust inserted.
While some of the other organs were
in place, there was every evidence
that they had been disturbed.
A PecuIia EmbaImins.
In searching for evidence of the in
sertion of a hypodermic needle be-
fore death, the physicians were UNI
able to discover any puncture of the
skin, even such as is made usually in
embalming. That the body had been
embalmed there was no doubt. The
physicians found that the embalming
fluid had been injected from the in
side, through a large vein, which had
first been broken and then tied.
This satisfied the physicians hat
the embalmer must have known the
body was not in it's entirety while he
was at work. No one has heard that
any autopsy had been performed IN
California: the request of the author
tiles of that state that one be held
here proved to the contrary.
Took All Precautions But One.
Physicians agreed hat every pre-
caution had been taken to prevent
any light being thrown on the cause
of death and that nc could say
whether it was the result of irritant
poisons or otherwise. But if this was
the result of design the person re-
sponsible overlooked one important
matter. He failed to do what he
should have done had he desired t.
have the cause of death, as set down
in the certificate sent here from the
west go uncontradicted. In this it was
stated that Col. Best had succumbed
to cerebral apoplexy. Were this the
fact the brain would disclose it and
the skull had not been opened. That
this declaration in the certificate is
unfounded was determined by the
physicians. They found that the
brain was in a healthy condition-so
healthy. in fact, that there were not
the slightest indications of apoplexy.

ED. ~DELEHANTY'S REMAINS.
A Body, Relieved to BE That Of the
baseball Player, TAXI
en- From Niagara River.

Buffalo. N. Y, July 1o.-The body
found in the river below the falls,
Thursday, was identified at Drum
mondville as that of Ed. Delehanty,
the famous outfielder of the Wash
ington American league team.
The body was mangled. One leg
was torn off, presumably by the pro-
peller of the Maid of the Mist, nea
whose landing the body was found.
M. A. Green, a stakeholder in the
Washington. team, identified the body
by the teeth, two crippled fingers and
the clothing. The body was shipped
to Washington.
Mr.. Green, Thursday morning, iden-
titled the luggage left by Delehanty
on the train at the bridge last Thurs
day night when he was put off.
In it was a pass to the Washington
grounds made out to Mrs. Delehanty.
D~elehanty's effects have been sent to
his wife by the Pullman people.
Frank Delehanty, of the Syracuse
team, and E. J. Mcclure, a brother-in-
law, from Cleveland, are here investi-
eating the death of the player. They
do not believe that Delehanty COM
mitted suicide or that he had been on
a spree in Detroit. In the sleeper on
the Michigan Central train on the
way down from Detroit Delehanty
had five drinks of whisky, says Cor
ductor Cole, and he became so OBJ
streporous that he had to be put off
the train at Bridgeburg, at the Cana
dian end of the bridge. Cole says
Delehanty had an open razor and was
terrifying others in the sleeper.
When the train stopped at Bridge
burg Cole did not deliver Delehanty
up to a constable as the Canadian po-
lice say he should have done. He just
put him off the train.
After the train had disappeared
across the bridge Delehanty started
to walk across, which is against the
rules. The night Waterman attempt
ed to stop him. but Delehanty pushed
the man to one side. The draw of
the bridge had been opened for "A
boat, and the player plunged into the
dark waters of the Niagara.
Delehanty's relatives hint at foul
play, but there is nothing in the case,
apparently, to bear out such a theory
The body, when found, was nude
save for necktie, shoes and socks. The
clothes had probably been torn off
in the passage of the rapids and in
going over the Horseshoe falls. The
body was much bloated.

''LAPPONI."
A WEEK OF ANXIETY.
The End of 1t Found the Pope But
the Shadow of a Man.


Rome, July 11.-Saturday brought
to a close a full week since Pope Leo
vas stricken with illness, and it
found him still battling against death.
DR.. Lapponi remained near the pope
throughout the night, but there was
little occasion for his services. When
DR.. Mazzoni joined him in the sick
chamber at $50 o'clock Saturday
morning they found that their pa
tent had not suffered any serious de-
preston during the night, although
the same terrible weakness was still
manifest.
An affecting interview has occurred
between the pontiff, Cardinal Satolli
and three other cardinals represent
Ing various degrees of the sacred col
lege. Cardinal Satclli and his compan-
ions were admitted to the presence of
the pope as a special favor, following
his earnest ~entreaties. In the gentlest
manner Cardinal Macchi, speaking for
all, told the pontiff of the universal
interest taken in his condition, add
ing: prayers are going up every
where that the Lord may preserve for
the benefit of the church, the precious
life of your holiness"
Il thank your eminence," replied
the pope. ct will be as God wishes.
We must submit to His holy will" So
saying the sufferer pressed the hand
of each of the cardinals as they with
drew.
One of the cardinals present at the
interview, spoke afterwards of the re-
markable changes that had been
wrought since he had last seen the
pontiff only last Sunday night, when
extreme JUNCTION was administered to
his holiness. The cardinal said: 1.-The
appearance of the Holy father is in
tensely painful. He maintains mental
acumen, but his brave spirit is terri
bly, broken. This was especially APP
parent to me, while / am used to see
him often. l have observed a great
change in his physical condition DUR
ing the last five days. His words are
now uttered with difficulty and he
raises his hand only after an effort.
His face is excessively emaciated and
his eyes are deeply sunken. His ex-
IRENE weakness is evident at the first
glance; there remains only a shadow
of the man."
