tation With Her While

ings to Pay for His House

CHICAGO, May s.-A novel occur

ing her husband, the woman being
Mrs. Fischer Hoch, the last survivor
with whom the multi-bigamist under

prosecution.
Before Mrs. Fischer Hoch was called
a number Of witnesses were examined.
Frank Spreyne. the undertaken who
buried Mrs. Walcker-Hoc testified
that the embalming fluid contained no
arsenic. Spreyne's testimony is cor
roborated by the results of an analysis
of the fluid. j. NJ Schleisser, employ
ed as clerk in drug store at Sixty
third and Halsted streets, testified
that he had frequently sold various
prescriptions to her. He identified
number of them. In his direct testi-
mony Schleisser declared that none of
them contained arsenic. In his cross
examination, however, he said that one
of the prescriptions did contain smalf
quantity of arsenic. A sharp tilt be-
tween counsel preceded the testimony
of Mrs. Fischer och but Judge Kers-
ten overruled objections of the. de-
Tense. After identifying bank book
that she had used and saying that
Hoch had asked her to withdraw her
money from the bank and turn the
proceeds over to him to pay for his
house, Mrs. Fischer och told of 60
ing to her home with Hoch. When
they got to the house they were met
at the door by Mrs. Sauerborck, who
said: Don't go in there, Mrs. Hoch.
Mrs. Sohn is here and she says that
Hoch murdered your sister"
Mrs. Fischer occupied the witness
chair the entire afternoon. She told
in detail the fiirtations carried on by
Hoch with her while Mrs. Walcker-
Hoch lay dying.
Il reminded him that my sister was
not yet buried and that it was no time
for him to talk to me in that manner.
He declared that the dead was for the
dead and the living for the living, and
that his talking TO me at that time did
not make any difference
Mrs. Fischer concluded her testimony
by stating that she had seen Hooh
giving her sister light colored pow
der in some water two days before her
death. Mrs. Fischer will be on the
stand again tomorrow.

SANTA BARBARA
HAS BIG FIRE

SANTA BARBARA, May s.-The
most disastrous fire that has visited
Santa Barbara for many years to-
night destroyed the stock of the Col
Inns & Walton dry goods establishment,
causing a loss estimated at $4,000.
The insurance is. between 100000 and
$4,000. Although a brisk wind
threatened to carry the flames to a
row of other business houses and a
number Of storage barns in the rear,
the prompt work Of the firemen con-
fined the damage to one building and
its contents.
The fire started in a storeroom at
the rear, but from what cause is not
known. When first noticed the smoke
was issuing from the rear windows,
and when the first stream of water
was turned on flames were bursting
from half a dozen aDertures in the
four windows. The fire itself was con-
fined to these rear rooms, but smoke
and water went through every part of
the large double store, practically
running the entire contents.

California.

Margaret Anglin achieved another
success in Mariana" at the California
last night. In this play probably more
than in any other Miss Anglin is en-
abled TO give full force TO her emotion
al talents, and she certainly takes
advantage Of every opportunity. Her
task is made all the more difficult. be-
cause the dialogue never rises above
the commonplace, for its chief merit
lies in the situations. not in the lines.
The gifted actress rose to great
heights in the scene where she re-
nounces the love of the man whose
father had encompassed the ruin of
her mother Then again was Miss
Anglin seen at her best when she re-
sists the temptation to flee with her
lover and calls on her husband to pro-
tect his honor. Miss Anglin's acting
was admirable in every particular,
barring a disposition TO speak so
hastily in her impassioned scenes
that she could hardly be understood.
Frank Worthing played Danielo.
Mariana's lover, with his usual tact
Mrs. Thomas Whiffen did not have
much to do as Trinidad, but did that
well. Walter e. Hitchcock was all
that could be desired as Don Pablo.
and Walter Allen contributed what
little humor there is in the play as
Don Castillo. Arthur Lawrence was
capital as Don Joaquin, Mariana's
guardian, and contributed much to the
general success. Miss Edith Cart
wright was acceptable as Clarita and
Hall McAllister made good Luciano.

The Chutes.

Reta Curtis, a talented and pretty
violinist, made her first appearance at
the Chutes yesterday and scored hit
at both performances. John T. Chick
and his company of comedians raised
roars of laughter with their condensed
comedy, "Bibbs and Bibbs." Clark
and Temple proved a versatile duo in
their skit, The Bell Boy and the Sou
brette," and William j. Kurtis and his
little skye terrier wonders. Guess and
Bunch. repeated the hit that they
made at the Orpheum a short time
ago. Mabel Lamson, the popular con-
tralto, in the latest illustrated songs.
and the animatoscope, showing
number of interesting and amusing
moving pictures, completed an inter-
esting programme. The amateurs
promise many surprises on Thursday
night.

Clyde Fitch's play, THE Stubborn
ness Of Geraldine" in which Mary
Mannering starred, was presented at
the Alcazar Theater last night to a
crowded house. 1t was splendidly
staged and the production by the clev-
er stock company was a creditable
one. The large audience was delight

peated curtain calls for the principals

after the close of each act. Miss Lii
liam Lawrence as Geraldine Lang was
effective and gave to the part that
charming faith in the man she loved
which carried the sympathies of the
audience. John Craig showed to adj
vantage as Count Carlos Kinsey and
brought out all the fine points in the
character of the honorable but poor
scion of a noble house. Miss Eliza

Lord Tillbury was, as usual, clever
and amusing and he shared the APP
plause with Miss Woodson in their ex-
cellent transformations. Miss Adele
Belgrade as Mrs. Wrighton and John
Davies as Mr.. Wrighton helped mater
tally in the success of the play. The
other parts were well sustained.

Teddy Webb has found a part as Ko
Ko in the ''Mikado" that fits him to
nicely and he fills the role more
cleverly than il has ever been done
before in San Francisco. The "Mika-
do was put on for the first time dur
ing the present revival at the Tivoli
last evening. 1t was characterized by.
two dozen of them; by an abundance
of good clothes, by excellent singing
on the part of chorus and principals
alike and by staging that was elabo-
rate and entirely adequate. But while
Willard Simms was funny in what he
had to do, Teddy Webb was the star
of the evening. His stage business
was droll in the extreme. The custo-
mary lines were pieced out with local
gags and took in all sorts of con-
ditions, including the troubles at the
City Hall The new business won
plaudits in great shape. Teddy had
to sing the Tit Willow song half a
dozen times.

her to create a decidedly favorable
impression. Bessie Tannehills sing

audience warmed up to the music and

Central.

The blood which is shed at the Cen
trail Theater this week runs into the
cutters of San Francisco instead of
into East River. Aside from the local
setting, THE Criminal of the Gem
tury," which was produced for the
first time last night, should prove one
of the melodramatic masterpieces of
the age. There is gore, agony and
noise enough in the play to satisfy the
most riotous kid on Natoma street.
The shrieks of dying women and the
horrid din of arms prevail in every
act
The festivities open with the wan
ton slaughter of his mother by the
villain. The fiend, through four sue
ceeding acts. shoots and slashes his
way over bleeding bodies. He was so
bad that many people in the house
thought he was Torturici. The hero's
life hangs on a thread that is sub
jected to an almost continuous strain
until the final scene. where his
enemies are handcuffed and stink
away to prison.
The Criminal of the Century is a
resident of San Francisco. A terrific
scene of carnage takes place at the
Ferry building. Riot and rebellion
are unleashed at the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company's pier. Another
hideous deed is performed at Crow
leys boathouse. The wicked man next
tries to drown a 1ialf-dozen people in
his den beneath the wharves. More
crime is committed in the Harbor
Hospital. In the last act The Call
building looms up prominently as the
background.
called before the curtain last night to
explain his offenses, but the galleries
outvociferated him. Henry Simmer
played the awful title role with much
success. Herschell Mayall did the hero
stunt to the entire satisfaction of
every one present. Edna Ellsmere
and Lillian Elliot showed how beauti-
fully they could be murdered. The
others of the cast furnished adequate
support.
