San Francisco, March 3.-The re-
port is circulated tonight that Miss
Berner had directly accused All Wing.
the Chinese cook at the Stanford
mansion of having placed the strych-
nine in the bottle of bicarbonate of
soda, and that upon this information
he will be arrested. The police deny
however, that All is under arrest any
more than any other member of the
Stanford household is under arrest,
and claim to have no official advices
as to Miss Berner's accusation.
A vigorous search is being prose-
cuted today in Palo Alto for further
clews that might lead to the arrest of
a former employ of the Stanford
mansion, upon whom suspicion rests.
This man is said to have pprchased
there, through another man. a guam
tity "Df strychnine at various times.
but this is not verified
The police and private detectives
claim to have every line well in hand,
and that IL murder was done the muir
derer cannot escape.
The theory advanced last night, fol-
lowing an erroneous report of the
finding of another bottle of strych-
nine in Mrs. Stanford's trunk, that she
and accidentally swallowed an over
dose, is secuted by the police and
Others directly interested in the case.

Many Under Surveillance.

With the inquest over the remains
of Mrs Stanford only a few hours
away, the police net is around every
person in the city connected with
the Stanford case. All employees in
the Stanford mansion are practically
prisoners. Detectives are constantly
on the watch, and not movement of
servants escapes them. The home of
Albert Beverly, former butler, with
whose family Elizabeth Richmond,
Mrs. Stanfords former maid, is stop
ping, is also under close surveillance.
At Palo Alto, where Miss Berner's
mother (Mrs. Stanford's private sec
retary) resides, detectives guard to
prevent Mrs. Berner from telling what
she knows until the proper time ar
rives.
In the meanwhile, the detectives
who worked on the first poisoning
case, are working diligently with the
city police and before the day is over
the developments promised last night
may materialiZe. These developments,
while they may not come in the form
of arrests, are expected to shed much
light on a great mystery. Upon the
autopsy and inquest. however, rest
the greatest Importance, and word
from Honolulu is awaited with intense
interest.
There can be no doubt the coro-
ner's jury will find Mrs. Stanford
came to her death from strychnine
poisoning, but what additional find
ing, tending to show responsibility, II
any. will be, is a point of paramount
consequence. While the police here
claim to have no information of evil
dence gathered by the HonNnlu po-
lice, there is an impression that Miss
Berner has told something. or will
tell something at the inquest, that
will serve to clear up in a measure
the mystery.
