THINKS DTRAND
IS A BICAMIST
Stockton Man Threatens His
Runaway Wife and She in
Turn Makes Grave Charge
EVIDENCE IN A LETTER
Woman Says Epistle Shows
That He Has Family in
Plainfield, New Jersey

Because she had evidence to show
that her husband was a Bluebeard or
Hoch, Mrs. Della Durand of Stock
ton tried to hide from him in this CITY,
Because Louis Durand was madly in
fatuated with the woman who seeks
to evade him he followed her here
and, finding her at S2S Eddy street
yesterday. threatened to kill her If she
did not come back to him.
From facts gathered by the police
she is the third wife of Durand and
the two others still claim the right to
call him husband.
I cannot live without you," he de-
clared. You must come back to me.
If you do not / will kill you"
Realizing that the look in the mans
eyes meant murder. and recalling the
accounts of Hoch's escapades, Mrs.
Durand summoned all her faculties
and placated the frenzied man. She
promised to do as he wished, but as
soon as he left the house she hurried
to the Central police station and swore
to a warrant charging her husband
with threatening her life.
The woman became Mrs. Della Du-
rand in May 1903, at Syracuse, n. Y.
Shortly after the wedding the couple
went TO Stockton, where Durand be-
came foreman Of the Globe Iron
Works The husband said that he had
a crippled child by a former wife who
had died. He had to send monthly re-
mittances for the little ones support
to Plainfield, n. ].
When Mrs. Durand the second
pressed inquiries about the little one
Durand gave evasive answers. One
day a letter from Plainfield came to
the home of the Durands and the wife
opened it. In it she declares was re-
vealed the fact that her husband had
another wife and four children.
Then she fed from him and came to
this city to hide, she says. The infat-
uated iron worker informed the Chief
of Police of Stockton that he would
either kill her or bring her back. The
officer sent word to the woman. telling
her of the threat, and she was pre-
pared for his coming
The man was somewhat under the
influence Of liquor when he burst upon
Mrs. Durand. and she was certain that
he would have carried out his murder
Gus threat had she not "bluffed'' him.
On arrest he admitted that he had
bought a revolver, but refused to tell
the police where it was hidden. To
Detective Bailey he declared that he
had a wife in Philadelphia.
Last night Durard told a different
story he claimed that he had met
his latest wife at Victoria and desig-
mates her as the notorious Mrs. Bella
Westwood." He declared most en-
phatically that he did not have any
other wife living Il had been drink
ing he said, cor I would not have
made such fool of myself
THE only time 1 threat tened my wife
was when she left me to go with an
other man. Then / told her I would
get even IL God spared me-"
The woman curtly declined to be in
terviewed last night. She seemed to
be on the verge of nervous prostra-
ton.

of That Fact.
Frank Delbarto, retail fruit dealer,
was found dead in his bed yesterday
In his room at 1885 Clay street. The
key of the gas burner was open and
the room was filled with the poison
GUS fumes.
Delbarto's wife, who had occupied
a separate room, informed Deputy
Coroner Charles Meehan that she
thought he had been murdered. In
vestigation by Detective Edward Glib

for such a theory. DeIbarto was in
partnership with l.. Gotelli and they
had not agreed. About a week ago
Mrs. Delbarto applied at the Hall of
Justice for a warrant for the arrest of
Gotelli whom she accused of having
disturbed her peace by calling her

was sick in bed under care Of a doc

gating more than 20 OC0 miles viii bring in
crease Of population and great prosperity TO

ether important towns reached by its main line

much of the trade which has drifted to north

I have not heretofore given out interviews
on this subject but in order that the people
f the state may know the present situation
i deem IL wise that this statement which is
fully authorized by my clients, should be made
While. as mentioned. the road will be built
without Government aid the company will ex-
rect such liberal treatment in the matter Of
franchises and rights Of way viii make the
construction Of its line feasible and reasonable
ss well as beneficial TO the communities
through which it will pass.
Mr.. Bogue said he had had contrac-
tors look over much of the line and
would shortly obtain bids for grading,
track-laying and other work.
The Western Pacific is an independ-
ent enterprise, and il has expended a
large sum in preliminaries and in the
purchase of properties. 1t will have
such traffic relations as will make it a
factor of vast importance to the whole
coast. IT is believed that the improve
ment and growth that it will bring will
more than compensate for any loss it
will cause existing roads.

COULD'S XPERT
ENGINEER HERE
y. G. BogTe, Famous Rail-
road Builder. Tells of Plans
Of the Western Pacific
WORK TO BE HURRIED
SierraS viii Be Climbed
and This City Reached in
Less Than Three Years

y. O. Bogue, consulting engineer for
George J. Gould, widely known as one
Of the worlds greatest engineers. is at
the ST. Francis.
Mr.. Bogue was chief engineer of the
Dnion Pacific Railroad and it was he
who reconstructed that line. He also
built the oregon Short Line.
OF late years. he has had his office
IN New York. where he has acted as
consulting engineer of the Gould in
terests
In addition to his many other i'm
portant duties, Bogue is the consult
ing engineer Of the Western Mary
land road, which Gould Is completing
from Pittsburg TO Baltimore, where an
extensive Atlantic terminal is under
construction. The Western MARYLAND
connects with GOuld's Wheeling and
Lake Erie road at Pittsburg. The
Wheeling and Lake Erie connects with
Gould's Wabash road at Toledo, Ohio
The Wabash intersects the Missouri
racine, another Gould line, at ST.
Louis. From st. Louis the Iron Noun
tain and other Gould lines extend TO
The Cuff ports. The Missouri Pacific
extends from st. Louis to Colorado,
where il joins the Denver and-Rio
Etanoe, Gould line, which extends
from Denver to Salt Lake City.
The Western Pacific is TO extend
from Salt Lake City to San Francisco.
MUCH PATIENT WORK.
Mr. BogUe is not an officer of the
Western Pacific. He is here as the
consulting engineer Of Eastern capi-
talists who are interested in that COM
pany. He represented them for some
time in the preliminaries and engin-
eering questions that must be taken
up in advance Of construction.
In building the Western Pacific,
much time was consumed in the sur
Teys and other engineering, especially
where such a range of mountains as
the Sierra Nevada must be crossed.
This work is about concluded, and
construction viii shortly begin on an
extensive scale and will be pushed to
rapid completion. 1t is intended to
have the road Open from Salt Lake
City 10 San Francisco within two and
one-half years.
The capitalists interested in the
Western Pacific win not have national
aid. II must build across the deserts
and mountains, which are to a large
extent barren Of traffic. The projec-
tors see in the rapid growth of Cali
fOrnia and the Pacific coast and in the
immense Oriental and island trade
abundant opportunity for the road and
for a reasonable return upon the in
Nestment required. Mr.. BOgue said:
