Captain Seymour, who is agent for the

more than a bad joke. He said:
1.-THE idea that Captain 1. w. Lees

TRUE MAKES STATEMENT.
The statement of Chayles True, who
was before the. Chief OF Police Saturday
night, was made public for the first time
Yesterday He. said that he.was a cousin
Of Mrs. Bowers late husband. When he
heard that the. bridge builder was dead
he went to the. house to give such aid as
he might to the widow. He advised her
to draw her money. from. the iHibernia
Bank and place 1t somewhere else so that
no one else could give her trouble on &C
count of it. :;
She did as he advised. He accompanied
her on her: errand and then took her to
the German Savings Bank, where she re-
deposited her funds He declared that he
knew nothing of. the domestic affairs in
the Bowers household.
Photographs have been made Of Mrs.
Bowers handwriting. and the forged pre-
scriptions In about 200 of her. letters and
on the forged prescription the "M'' and
the az are always made in the same
manner When writing at the dictation
of Chief Whitman she changed the .ferma-
ton of each of these letters and declared
that she.-haa always made them in that
way.
(. The writing on the prescription. and
Mrs. Bowers chirography are wonderful
ly similar. Expert Kytka says the same
person wrote the letter to Harry Bowers
and the forged prescription.
90 No trace of the box in which Drug
Clerk Peterson sold arsenic. to the woman
he says was Mrs. Sutton; nor Of the pur-
chase of other poison, has been discov-
cred thus far, although the detectives are
constantly at work on this line. AS there
are about $50 drug stores in town and as
the purchase OF arsenic for which the Of.
4icers. are searching might have: been
made more than three months ago it can
readily be seen that the task is a difficult
one. Detectives Ryan and Coleman were
visiting the drug stores for three hours
last night.
Chief of Police Whitman has taken per-
senal charge of the case. He says that
there is no need to question the women
further, as he feels that about enough
evidence is already at hand. He believes
that Lervey is playing a cunning part;
that he knows the whole truth and that
he will confess all within a few days. :.
Mrs. Sutton sent an urgent telegram
yesterday to her mother in. Portland, Or,
explaining the situation and asking for
aid. Mrs. Byers, the mother, is now on

The alleged will is. drawn in typewriter
on a sheet of manifold. paper. which is
extremely thin. 1t is dated August Is,
1902, one year, lacking two days, later
than the Will Of Charles Fair which was
admitted to probate after his death. 1t
is purported to be signed by w H. L.
Barnes and /. w. Lees, both of whom
died within a few months after Fair 8
death. 1t was inclosed in a white envel-

dress and. special delivery stamp was at

mark of date August g. There was abb
solutely no mark to show whence the
package had come. -:
The first conclusion that was jumped at
was that the alleged Will had. been pro-
duced on behalf of the mysterious client
of William. NJ. Cannon. who some months
ago served notice on the attorneys for the
Fair estate that he was attorney for some
person who claimed to have the custody

WOMEN ARE. RETIcENT.

After Lerveys or O'Leary, had been
thoroughly. examined Mrs Sutton. and
Mrs Bowers were summoned before the
District Attorney and repeated the con-
:fessiop they made the previous night to
Detectives Ryan and Coleman Mrs
Bowers would give no reason for lying in
her first statements about her. relations
with I-ervey.: She protested against. the
further confinement Of tie man. ard as
serted that he was an ignorant fool Sew
eral times during the dGy she made the
same objections to various officials. 1t is
thought that this partial confession. has
caused her to fear that he may break
down entirely, hence her solicitude.
She has. had several conferences with
her attorney and is becoming very reti-
cent: Whenever she was asked new ques2
.tions about ,Leryey. she declined to an
swer: Neither would she talk of the
forged prescription Her. memory is also
becoming hazy:
Mrs: Sutten's examination resulted m
no material disclosures. She parties GER:
tain questions and refuses to answer 9TH
ers. Both women and tervey were given
another Sweating in the afternoon but
no new facts. of Importance were secured
thereby.
An: unauthenticated. ruinor was going,
the rounds. yesterday that Bervey was an;
ex-c9flyict. The records were searched,
but it could not be discovered that any
one answering his description with any:
OF his four names had served a sentence
in either of the State .pepitentiaries. He
asserted that he had never been arrested
before.
The officers questioned several people
who live in the feighborhood Of the Bow
ers house yesterday, but none of them
could furnish any valuable information.
They had all noticed that Lervey' was
frequent visitor when Bowers was away
and that the imprisoned widow always
greeted her husband with effusiveness on
his weekly return from Mare Island. The
neighbors did not have much to do with
Mrs. Bowers by reason of her intimacy

Much More Light Is Thown
on Bowers Murder
Mystery.
Scene Of Action Is About to Change
From Police Headquarters
to the Criminal
Court.

The mystery surrounding the death of
Martin L. Bowers comes nearer solution
with each succeeding day. Yester-
days developments furnished additional
strength to the theory Of the police that
the guilty parties are safe behind the
bars at the City Prison. O'Leary weak
ened little more during the progress of
two severe "sweatings," and he is not
expected to hold out much longer.
Mrs. Bowers is betraying the greatest
anxiety about her paramour's confessions
and is informing the officials at every
opportunity that he should be released.
Mrs. Sutton is the only one of the three
suspects who retains her seff-control. All
Of them now show plainly that they are
beginning to realize the gravity Of the
situation. The detectives are keeping
hard at work and unearth new evidence
continually. The scene of action will
soon be. transferred to the courts.
The hearing in the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings, which was scheduled to take
place yesterday morning, was postponed
until noon to-day. The 'writs in favor of
the two women were granted on applica-
ton, but the attorneys failed to- notify

is required in Superior Court procedure.

arose in court to present his case Dis

grounds mentioned. and Judge Cook sus-
tanned him. The lawyers for the defend
ants then asked that the hearing be set
for 2 O'Clock in the afternoon, but the
Judge thought the time too short and set
the. proceedings for: to-day. The court
room was crowded. with those curious to
see the two women, and great was the
disappointment when It became manifest
