CAUSED DEATH
Morgue Officials Satisfied
That III. Allaire, Insurance
Solicitor, Killed Himself
NO TRACE OF WOUNDS
Manager Pratt Of Equitable
Life Says the Unfortunate
Had Committed Forgery

Morgue Surgeon Bacigalupi per-
formed an autopsy yesterday upon the
body. Of H. Allaire, who committed
suicide In Golden Gate Park and whose
body was found among the sand dunes
last Friday. He found a slight wound
back of the right ear. which had evil
dently been made by animals. There
were no other wounds on the body. The
stomach and contents were sent to the
city chemist.
A. H. Pratt, general manager OF the
Equitable Life Insurance Company,
called at the Morgue yesterday and re-
ported that Allaire had been drinking
heavily for several days and that short
ly before he disappeared he had forged
Pratt's name to a check for So and had
it cashed by a special policeman In
Oakland. He went to Fruitvale on
Tuesday and collected on note for
500 from ]. Beecher of that place and
appropriated the money to his own use.
When Mr.. Pratt learned Of this last
transaction he swore to warrant In
the Oakland Police Court for Allaire's
arrest on charge Of forgery.
The widow of the unfortunate sui
eide called upon Deputy Coroner Nc
Cormick yesterday. She said that her
husband left his home in Fruitvale last
Saturday, and she did not see him
again until Monday, when she went to
the Equitable Life offices in Oakland.
She found him under the influence Of
liquor and begged him to return home
He promised to do so that evening, but
failed to keep his word, and that was
the last she saw of him alive.
Allaire's death was undoubtedly due
to morphine poisoning.

TO find employment for her in the
country. Without informing her moth
er OF her intention, she accompanied
him to Redding. where they were met
at the railway station by a woman, to
whom Waldstein introduced her as the
person that would provide her with a
place. She accompanied the woman,
Waldstein following them, to house
she quickly discovered to be disrepu-
table, and she at once left 1t and went
to reside with some friends at Red
Blum, where she remained until her
mother sent for her to return home.
This testimony was corroborated In
part by the mother, who added that a
few days after her daughters disap-
pearance Waldstein called at her
house and stated that he believed the
girl had run away with another young
woman and that he knew where they
could be found. Then the case was
taken UP by Detective Braig, who
discovered the girls whereabouts,
heard her story and arrested Wald-
stein.
The defendant says the girl told him
she was 19 years of age and her life
at home was so unhappy that she
wanted to get away. So. prompted by
sympathy alone, he obtained her a
situation at Redding, not knowing any
more than she did the character of
the house of which she was invited to
become an inmate.
Evidence for the defense will be
submitted tomorrow.

versely to H. l. Kowalsky in a dis
pute between him and Henry Mohr
over a note given the latter by Kate
c. Perry, a relative of Florence Blythe
Moore. Kowalsky purchased half
interest in a $4,000 note. The courts
have decided in a previous suit that
the note was worth but $4,000 The
dispute was as to tie amount of Ko-
walsky's interest in the matter. He
thought Mohr owed him $4,000, but the
court disagrees and gives him only
the half interest.

Michael johnson must answer a
charge of threatening to kill in addi-
ton to the accusation OF carrying a
concealed weapon and Judge Mogan
has requested the prosecuting officer
of his court to prepare and press
against the same defendant a charge
of allowing his wife to be an inmate
of an immoral house.
"It is evident" said the Judge,
''that this defendant willfully permit
ted his wife to lead an immoral life
and lived on her earnings, and I see
no reason why he should not be
charged with felony. A detective
should be employed If necessarily to
secure evidence to justify the issuance
of a warrant on that charge and I
hope that the matter will be laid be-
fore the Chief of Police
Johnson was arrested for ill-treat-
ing his wife, who is much younger
than himself, and in defense of his
conduct he pleaded that she was a
wanton. This provoked the woman to
tell the story that prompted Judge
Mogan to suggest that the man be
| charged with felony.

William S. Searl, attached to the
Hospital Corps at the Presidio, places
a pecuniary value of S215 upon the
watch, chain and locket he alleges
were stolen from him by Ernest Car
ron, and that estimate does not cover
the sentimental side of the jewelry's
worth to its owner.
The bold soldier boy was in saloon
at Market and East streets when Car
ron snatched the chain and everything
fastened to it and ran away, closely
pursued by the complainant. Police
Corporal Egan stopped the fugitive
and charged him with grand larceny.
Carron bears none of the outer

tenance and respectable apparel Judge

Fred Anderson's head loomed in the
prisoners cage of Mogan's court yes
terday as a horrible example of what
strenuous resistance to police author
ity may lead to. The upper portion
of Mr.. Andersons countenance was
swathed in a bandage and the lower
section bore some abrasions that
served to convey a hint Of what the
bandage concealed.
1t was in a Howard-street saloon
that the job for the surgeon was pre-
pared by the trusty clubs of two po-
licemen. simultaneously applied. and
with great force. In the dock with
Mr.. Anderson, who is a longshoreman,
were c. Shuquist, bartender of the
saloon aforementioned, and Charles
Engberg, a tailor. Battery and dis
turbing the peace were charged
against all three and Police Sergeant
Wall and Patrolman Skelly told how
ii came TO pass.
The three defendants were engaged
in a discussion, when Shuquist said
something that displeased Anderson,
who thereupon struck the bartender
on the head with heavy beer glass.
Then the tailor attempted to disarm
Anderson, but he was struck by some
one behind him and he promptly went
down and out. In the meantime Shu-
quist was preparing to smite Anderson
in return, when the same beer glass
collided with his Uranium and he, too,
was out of the running. So the
doughty longshoreman was monarch
of all he surveyed until the policemen
entered and so elated was he by his
triumph that he laughed to scorn their
suggestion that he drop his weapon
and surrender.
When they proceeded to uphold the
majesty of the law by laying on of
hands they found that they were con-
fronted by a human wildcat, for An
derson struck, bit, clawed and snarled
in a feline manner as he resisted ar
rest. Finally, to accomplish his sub
jugation, the officers were compelled to
beat him upon the skull with their
clubs until their arms ached and he
was a sorry spectacle. When at last
he Nsuccumbed and was securely
manacled his captors considerably
took him to the City Hospital, where
his head was decorated as described in
the opening paragraph of this true
story. In the meantime other police
men conveyed Shuquist and Engberg,
who were passive, to the City Prison.
Judge Mogan continued the hearing
until tomorrow, when the three de-
PENDANTS will describe the fracas from
their respective viewpoints.
