DIES FOR LOVE
ON SHIPS DECK
Edouardo M. Herrera, Chile
an Forger, Ends His Life
On Steamer City of Para
SWALLOWS CHLOROFORM
Drinks Fatal Drug at Door
of Cabin Where Object
of His Affection Sleeps
SWALLOWS CHLOROFORM

Edouardo M. Herrera, the Chilean
forger, who left here last February on
the City of Para under arrest on an
extradition warrant and news of
whose death was received some time
later. died on the City of Para by his
own hand. Particulars of his death
were learned on the arrival of the
steamer yesterday from Panama.
Herrera was a young man of good
family and had occupied a position of
trust in the service of the Chilean
Government. He forged some official
documents and with the money so OBJ
tanned fed from Valparaiso. He was
arrested here by the manager of a
private detective agency and held in
the City Prison until arrangements
were made for his extradition.
In custody of C. H. Norris of the
Curtin Detective Agency Herrera
sailed from here February 13 on the
City of Para. He had threatened to
make away with himself and Norris
was supplied with appliances to re-
strain his prisoner should the neces-
sity arise. Ringbolts were screwed
into the stateroom floor and every pre-
caution was taken to insure the
prisoners safe delivery at Valparaiso.
After the steamer got to sea Her
rera seemed to have abandoned all
idea of f-destruction and his Gus
todian allowed him to mingle with the
other passengers and enjoy himself as
he saw fit.
Herrera developed a fondness for
strong drink and for some time prior
to his death was in more or less of a
maudlin condition. He fell madly in
love with a lady passenger. His over
lures were repelled and one still night,
when all on board were asleep but
the watch and when the watch was
not looking, Herrera crept to the door
of the stateroom where slept the lady
who had scorned his love and drank
the contents of a bottle of chloroform.
His dead body was found there some
time later.
1t is understood that Herrera's rela-
tives had Strengthened out the legal
tangle in which his skillful penman-
ship had involved Edouardo and that
a prodigal's welcome awaited the
forger at Valparaiso.

suited by the two victims and he as
certained that Smith had lived at 1924
Golden Gate avenue. One of the room
ers there told Mcguire that he had oc-
Casion to look at Smiths hat once and
saw the letters IS A. NJ" on the
band. He spoke to Smith about it and
Smith said that he and friend had
purchased hats at the same time in
Chicago and had taken the wrong
hats. 1t is believed these are the in
itials of the name Smith was known
by in Chicago.
Shreve & Co, the jewelers.. are also
out $202 so. On the day of his depar-
ture Smith ordered that amount of
jewelry and when the clerk called with
the parcel Smith displayed bagful of
gold and told him he intended calling
at Shrcve's and putting ii in the safe
there. as he was going to Los Angeles
on a trip and would not be back for
few days. The firm, Smith said, could
take out what was due them This
satisfied the clerk and he left the
package, but Smith did not turn up.
The case has been put in the hands
of Detective Whitaker, who thinks
other firms have been victimizeG.
Descriptions of Smith will be sent
throughout the country. asking for his
arrest.
