OPIC N POTION
CAUSES DEATH
E. c. Davis, Liquor Drummer,
Supposed to Have Killed
Himself Because of Worry
LETTER FROM HIS WIFE
Woman Longs to Have Hus-
band With Her, Expressing
Great Affection for Him

The life of E. c. Davis, a liquor
drummer in the employ of Treadwell
& Co., terminated on the operating
room of the Central Emergency Hos
pital yesterday afternoon. Davis sue
cumbed to the effects of opium and
every indication points to the fact that
it was Administered.
No note was found on the person of
the dead man. that might show why
-he wanted to die. a passionate mis-
sive, full of endearing terms and ex-
pressions of love from woman sign
ing herself Your Loving Wife, Fay"
was found in the pocket of the coat.
Fay" calls Davis her husband and
longs to have him with her once
again.
Davis staggered into saloon at 13l
O'Farrell street shortly after 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon and sank into a
chair. He Immediately collapsed and
the bartender, becoming alarmed, rang
in for the Emergency Hospital ambu-
lance. Every effort to revive Davis
was made by Dr. Millar, but he passed
away in a few minutes, as the poison
in his stomach was a large quantity
and the antidotes did not relieve him.
Davis had been separated from his
wife for some time, and it is believed
that the fact prayed on his mind. Both
parties had been trying for some time
to effect a reconciliation, but their eff
forts had not been entirely successful.
as the wife's letter indicates Davis
was also said to have been In financial
straits for some time, and only a few
days ago a friend advanced him some
money to tide him over his difficulties.
Following is a, copy of the letter writ
ten to Davis by his wife:

PARADOXICAL VERDICT
BY CORONER'S JURY
Marcus Smith Charged With the Nom
Criminal Crime of Nlanslaughter
Committed In Self-Defense.

A Coroner's jury yesterday returned
a verdict charging Marcus Smith with
the impossible act of manslaughter in
self-defense. Smith killed Stewart
on March by stabbing him in the
region of the heart. The evidence
tended to show that Smith had acted
in self-defense and therefore had not
committed either murder or man
slaughter. The verdict was to the eff
feet that death had been caused by a
stab near the heart received at the
hands of one Marcus Smith. and we,
the jury, charge the said Marcus
Smith with voluntary manslaughter
committed in self-defense.'
1t is not likely that the novel doc
trine thus set up by the jury will ever
be incorporated into the law defining
murder and manslaughter.
The jury exonerated the railroad
company and its employees from
blame for the killing of Merritt Schu-
chardt, three and half years DID,
who was run over by Howard-street
electric car.

SUES HUTTON
FOR OLD DEBT
Mrs. HI. III. Hart Wants Re-
payment of Coin Spent by
Her in Caring for His Wife

New trouble for ex-Police Commits
day when Nina G. Hart and H. H
Hart brought suit against Inez S. Hut
ton and Harry Hutton. her guardian
for the recovery of $619, said to have
been sront by the plaintiffs during the
time Mrs. Hutton left her husband and
went to Salt Lake City.
The affair is the outcome of the trou-
BILE that took place between Hutton
and his wife in February of 1903 The
plaintiffs in the suit allege that at the
time of the temporary separation of the
Huttons Mrs. Hutton appealed to Mrs.
Hart, who was then living in Mendo-
cino County, to accompany her and act
as her companion and protector.
Mrs. Hart accepted the offer and
came TO San Francisco, from which
place the couple left for Salt Lake City.
They stayed there a month, during
which time Mrs. Hart alleges she paid
all the expenses of board and care,
even including the tickets to Salt Lake
and the meals en- route.
When the Hutton troubles were aired
in court in April, 1903, prior to a recon-
ciliation and the assumption of guar
dianship by Hutton, 1t was attempted
to prove by Hutton that Mrs. Hart
was keeping Mrs. Hutton in restraint
The itemized account of the bill is
as follows: For board for one month
ending March IL, 1903. furnished to Inez
S. Hutton. 500; money paid out for
meals for Mrs. Hutton on trip to Salt
Lake City. $40; Mrs. Hutton's room
rent in Salt Lake City. s14; fare paid
from Salt Lake City to Sam Francisco,
s25; loan to Mrs. Hutton. s5; incidental
expenses of homeward trip to San
Francisco, So; for services rendered in
caring for and protecting the person OF
Mrs Hutton. $500: total. s619

SISTER HEARS
TALE OF CIR IME
Relative of Murdered Police
man Sits in Court Near
Mother of Allen Goucher
FATHERS OBJECTION
Thinks That the District
Attorney Was Attempting
to Guide the Witness

For the first time since the begin
ming of the trial of Allen Goucher,
charged with completely in the muir
der of Policeman Eugene c. Robinson
on the night of January 20, 1902 the
sister of the murdered man was pres
ent in court yesterday. Miss Robinson
is resident Of Plumas County. She
and her mother, who lives with her,
were very much dependent for support
upon the unfortunate policeman. Miss
Robinson arrived here from Plumas
yesterday morning.
Mrs. Goucher was again an inter-
ested spectator. Ex-senator Goucher
was at the side of his son Allen during
the cross-examination of William Hen
derson, who was with Goucher on the
night of the shooting, and who has
been giving evidence for the prosecu-
tion
During the morning session ex-Sen-
ator Goucher dramatically objected to
the manner of leading the Witness
as he put 1t, by District Attorney By
ington.
Henderson, however, seemed to make
good witness and was not easily
led AT the afternoon session By
ington made objections that were sus-
tanned in most cases by Judge Cook,
as it seemed apparent that Attorney
Reese Clark's line of examination.
while thorough. was to a certain ex-
tent irrelevant
Henderson repeated the story of the
attempted robbery of the safe at Cy-
press Lawn Cemetery. and the subse-
quent shooting of Robinson. He said
that when he turned around he saw
flashes from three revolvers, one of
which was in the hands of Goucher.
hn nt1 in, d.
third presumably the pistol of the
PROSTATE policeman. Nothing of es-
pecial bearing was brought out during
the cross examination in the afternoon,
as Henderson was questioned simply
on line tending to establish a basis
for impeaching his testimony
During the trial young Goucher sat
next to his father, facing the witness.
He took a keen interest in proceedings
and occasionally whispered something
to his parent when Henderson showed
any signs of weakening in his replies.
1t was developed that Henderson bor-
rowed the pistol with which he fought
the duel with Policeman Taylor-who
pursued him after Robinson was shot
from John Crowley, who keeps a resort
on Mason street, between Turk and
Eddy. Henderson added that Crowley
had not the slightest idea what the
pistol was going to- be used for.
The cross-examination of Henderson
will be resumed this morning at 10
o'clock

PROMINENT CLUBMAN HURT
BY FALLING FROM A CAR
V. c. Drif1ieId Suffers Painful Injuries
by Alighting From Moving
Vehicle.

V. c. Driffield, q prominent member
and officer of the Bohemian and
olympic clubs and manager of the
Transatlantic Fire Insurance Com
pany, was the victim of a serious and
painful street car accident on Wednes-
day night. which will be the means
of confining him to his home for a
long period.
Mr.. Driffield had taken a Pacific
avenue car on his way home and on
reaching Octavia street. attempted to
alight and in doing so lost his. bal
ance and was precipitated to the
ground. The car passed over one of
his hands, crushing all of the fingers
in such manner that it is doubtful
whether he will be able TO retain the
use of them. His shoulder was also
severely hurt and other parts of his
body were badly bruised from the
rough treatment it was subjected to.

ment Judge Kerrigan took. the mat
ter under advisement
The jury resumed its place at II
o'clock and the hearing of witnesses

which he professed great affection and
loyalty for Yoell, was read and ad-
mstted. He later testified that he had
written 1t at the request and dictation
of Yoell who told him that he needed
