STRAIN TOO GREAT FOR
GAGAN TO ENDURE
Postoffice Clerks Accounts Short, but
He Was OverworIzed and BrOoded
Overmuch Upon His Business.


Overmuch Upon His Business.
Postmaster Fisk reported yesterday
that so far as the examination had
developed the accounts of Grant w.
Gagan, clerk at Station c, who killed
himself in Golden Gate Park last Mon
day. were short by $24.
The expression in a letter left by
the suicide that he had not taken
any stamps lately Mr.. Fisk interprets
to mean that he had not taken stock
on account of his stamps, not that he
had stolen them. There is more than
sufficient due on Gagan's salary to
make up the shortage
A. NJ. Cox, superintendent of city
delivery, said yesterday that Gagan
had become insane through excessive
worry over his business affairs. He
worked very hard at night learning
to. make candy with the object of
branching out in that business. He
had gone so far, Mr.. Cox said, as to
rent store and purchase fixtures.
Overwork and the strain no doubt
unsettled his reason.

The Dersons attended a social party
last Sunday night, and Monday morn
ing was considerably advanced when
they started to walk to their cottage, u
Laskie street. The lady had INDUCED
so freely in dancing that she was ia
tigued, but her suggestion that an
apartment downtown be engaged was
sidestepped by the gentleman, until she
declared it was absolutely impossible
for her to proceed farther afoot. Then
he grumblingly escorted her to 1921
Market street, lodging-house, and as
they stood at the head Of the stairway
awaiting response to their bell-ringing
he complained of the unnecessary ex-
pense to which he was being put by
her whim. Thus he nagged until she
picked up q broomstick from corner
and smote him on the head with 1t.
When he attempted to grasp the weap-
on she eluded him and brought 1T down
so smartly on his Uranium as TO knock
him downstairs. The sounds of alterca-
ton brought the folk whom the bell
changing failed to awaken, and both Mr..
and Mrs. Derson were taken to prison.
He was booked for disturbing the peace
and against her was entered the more
serious charge of assault with a deadly
weapon He furnished $40 bail. but she
remained in durance until she was con-
veyed to Police Judge Mogan's pres
ence yesterday morning.
ITS a good thing for you that the
broomstick instead of your husband S
skull was fractured" said his Honor to
the woman, and then he requested the
man to cease blubbering, transform his
bail money into two S. fines and lead
his wife forth to freedom. Mr.. Derson
obeyed with alacrity. After embracing
and kissing Mrs. Derson, who pass1Vely
submitted to the endearment, he in
formed the court that it was his pur-
pose to transfer his residence to Clover
dale.
'Cloverdale's loss will be San Fran
cisco's gain" was the courts response.

Sensational Occurrence at Trial.

Sensational incidents are not I'M
common in the closing stages of fam
GUS criminal trials. One of the most
remarkable occurred recently in Mel
bourne, Australia, on the last day OF
the trial of Ned Kelly, known to
thousands of Juvenile readers Of pen
ny fiction, as the "ironclad bushrang
er of Australia" A knife dropped
from a gallery overhead and fell at
the feet of the desperate in the dock
He had every temptation to grab 1t
and put an end to his existence, fol
there was not the slightest chance OF
his escaping the gallows. But 1t was

the occurrence was purely accidental
and this explanation was accepted by
the court.
