Home and Message Suggesting
Suicide Is Found.

Mrs. Bessie Nelson, wife Of Peter
Nelson, a laborer at Sausalito, disap-
peared yesterday and left a note which
indicates that she has taken her own
life. The woman had trouble with
her husband about three days ago and
came to live with her brother in this
city. She spoke of being Respondent
and 1t is feared that domestic strife
caused her to go insane.
Three days ago Nelson beat his wife
severely, according to the woman's
story. She packed up. a portion of her
personal belongings and came to this
city to live with her brother, Walter
K. Brown. At 10 o'clock yesterday
morning the woman left Browns
home and soon afterward the follow
ing note was found:
Dear Walter-If anything should
happen to me do not blame any one.

FALLS VICTIM
TO A F0OTPAD
Edward RideOut, Son of Mil
lionaire, Led Into Lodging
House Oh Kearny Street

Edward Rideout, son of N. d. Ride
out, banker and vice president of the
Sperry Flour Company, was the victim
of a footpad early yesterday morning.
The footpad, j. l.. Carr, was arrested
by Policeman Nelson and booked at the
City Prison on a charge of robbery.
Rideout was In full dress and had
been dining. not wisely but too
well. About o'clock Nelson saw Carr
leading Rideout along Kearny street,
and suspecting that something was
wrong he followed them. They went
into a lodging house at 624 Kearny
street, and Carr led Rideout to the sec
ond floor, where he struck him a vio-
lent blow on the face, knocking him
unconscious.
Carr was rifling Rideout's pockets,
which he had turned inside out, when
Nelson's approaching footsteps made
him desist- Carr ran to the rear Of the
hall, and Nelson after a search found
him hiding in a lavatory.
Nelson took Carr to the City Prison,
and when searched two punches of
skeleton keys, a small file and a mum
Der of cartridges were found in his
pockets. Some papers with Wells,
Fargo & Co." on them were also in his
pockets He put them in his mouth and
tried unsuccessfully to swallow them.
The police believe he is from Seattle
or Walla Walla, Wash. Every effort Is
being made to ascertain where he
lodges. A charge Of robbery was reg
istered against him.

Dies in Lodging-Hous

A man supposed to be w. P. Clark,
about whom little is known, was found
dead last evening in the Almonte
House at S73 Market street. The clerk
says the man rented the room Tues
day night and when he did not appear
yesterday the door was opened by a
bedmaker and he was found to have
been dead for some time. An empty
beer bottle was on table near by, but
there was nothing to indicate the
cause of death. On the mans person
were no papers, but on the band Of
his hat was found the name wv. p.
Clark He was about 3S years of
age, was well dressed, but had no
money in his pockets. One of his
pockets was turned inside out and
Captain of Detectives Burnett detailed
Detective Matherson on the case The
detective thus far has not discovered
anything that would warrant a theory
of foul play.

mo SABE, "
SAYS CHEUNC
Chinese Refuses to Tell of
Police Corruption and He
Is Charged With Murder

Chan Cheung, the Chinese merchant
who was spirited from his home Mon
day night by two grand jurors, was
indicted yesterday morning on a charge
of procuring, aiding and abetting the
murder of Tom Yick in Ross alley on
May 8, 1903. Nine Cinnamon are now
in prison accused of participating in
the homicide, one being sentenced to
be hanged and the others awaiting
trial. During the trial Of the second
case taken up charges were made that
a lawyer, E. w. Gunther, had attempt
ed to bribe a juror.
Tom Yick was a member of the So
called educational society," and ac-
cording to the confessions of three
Cinnamon now awaiting trial Chan
Cheung was one of those who offered
the reward for his life. The testimony
adduced before the Grand Jury is to
the effect that Chan Cheung was in
strumental in having Tom Ytck killed
by hired assassins.
The jurors were moved to indict Chan
Cheung, however, in the hope that he
would be frightened into revealing his
knowledge of police corruption in
Chinatown.
1--WE took Chan Cheung from his
home and kept him in a room at the
Occidental Hotel till this morning, hop
ing that the threat of indictment for
murder would frighten him into laying
bare the conspiracy of corruption in
Chinatown said Foreman Andrews
last night. But he was too willy for
US and did not give UP a bit of evil
dence. He appeared to be more loyal
to the people with whom he dealt in
Gisbursing moneys for protection of
the gambling games than afraid Of an
indictment for murder. Had he talked
he could have given us some sensa-
tional matter, I am sure. Matters are
now in statu quo and the police COM
mittee may not meet again till the full
Grand Jury has had its session to-
