IDENTIFIED AS FRANKLIN.
Alleged Murderer of Bessie Boutor
Turns Up in California.

San William Curtis,
ailas, Brush, who robbed and at
tempted 10 murder w. c. Ellis, an Aus
tralian horseman, in an empty house in
Berkeley Wednesday last, is believed
10 be Milton Franklin, alias George
Barnett. alias Milton Franklin An
Andrews, wanted in Colorado for the
murder at Mount Cutler October s.,
1904. of Mrs. Bessie Bouton. The local
police have been enabled by IA Sc
ries of curious circumstances and pc
culiar characteristics to make the iden-
tlncatiOn almost certain. After the rob-
berry in Berkeley Curtis and his female
accomplicc escaped, but they are be-
lieved 10 be near here, and their early
capture is expected.
In the Identification bureau of the po-
lice department there is a detailed de-
scription of the Colorado murderer,
| VINO had physical peculiarities that
marked him among men.
Certain body measurements and
marks on Andrews have also been OBJ
served on the Berkeley criminal, and
an excellent photograph of Andrews
furnished by the Colorado authorities
has been positively recognized as that
of the man calling himself Curtis or
Brus--, who came to this city from Aus
tralia with Ellis, and, with handsome
woman as a confederate. lured Ellis to
22l4 Ellsworth street, Berkeley, planned
his murder and dismemberment, and
nearly carried out their diabolical plot.
According to Ellis, whose additional
story has given the police the oppor-
tnnity to trace the movements of
Brush and the woman ever since they
left Colorado Springs, Brush made a
confession to him October Sd, when he
spent the night in the house rented by
the pair in Berkeley. Ellis said ,hat
Andrews told him while Brush and
the woman were in Denver she went
out disguised to procure food. going
about the city without fear of detec-
ton.
In the antipodes Brush lived under
the name of Clayton Hill, which he
told Ellis was his true name. Brush
told Ellis his reason for hiding in Den
yer was to escape the police, who
wanted him in connection with the en-
bezzlement of $4,000 from a Denver
firm. A young man was arrested for
the theft and Brush stated that he had
secured the money from him in card
game.

LAST CURTAINS RUNG DOWN
Appears on the Stage in Full Health
and visor.-Goes to His Hotel and
Succumbs to an Attack of Syncope-
Expires Without Word.

London The English speaking
world has suffered an irreparable loss
by the sudden death tonight of Sir
Henry Irving, who was universally re-
garded as the most representative Eng
lish actor of contemporary times.
Sir Henry died literally in harness
He was giving "A series of farewell PEE
formances in the English provinces
and this week was playing an engage
ment at Bradford, appearing in several
favorite roles. Thursday he presented
king Rene's Daughter" and '"rhe
Bells and seemed to be in excellent
health, taking the eXhausting part uf
Matthias in the latter play with all the
vigor of youth.
Tonight before an enthusiastic audi
ence he portrayed one of his most char
acteristically intellectual parts. The
title role in his own stage adaptation
of Lord Tennyson's Beckett" with
marked success.
After the performance Sir Henry re-
tu"led TO the hotel, reaching his rooms
at 11:30 o clock. when il was observed
that he was in great pain,
Physicians were Immediately sum
moned, but before they could arrive Sir
Henry was seized with an attack of
syncope and expired within few min
utes, without having uttered 4 word. in
the presence of Bran Stoker, who ba'
been his immediate manager for many
years, ana few other intimate friends
The event caused the greatest pam and
CONSERVATION among the members of
the company.
The Associated Press tonight Te-
ceivod the following telegram from
Mr.. Stoker:
Very terrible news; Sir Henry lr.
wing had an attack of syncope after
returning from the theater to the hotel
tonight and died suddenly"
To the last moment of his life Sir
Henry lrving's heart was in the worE
TO which he had devoted his career
the raising of the standard of his art
Wednesday he was entertained al
luncheon II the Bradford town hall, At
which the mayor presented him an ad
dress from his admirers.
In replying to the address Sir Henry
spoke of himself as one of the sands of
whose life were fast running out, but
no one then present hai the slightest
Idea that the end would come so soon.
lie proceeded in his reply to elo-
quently advocate the establishment OF
theaters by municipalities, 'because,'
he said, Il believe that by this means
the standard of the true drama, as dis
tinguished from miscellaneous enter
tainments, would be successfully UP
held.
Money is spent like water for AZ
kinds of philanthropic and educational
objects" he continued, but who
among you ever dreams of endowiDg
the theater? | am sure the time VIII
come when you will regard the theater
as necessary to liberal education and
be prepared TO consider any reasonable
suggestions for the extension of Ns
legitimate influence"

These came when Mr.. Hughes, coun-

crowd that stood at the back of the

quate to accommodate the counsel and
