Margaret Seals, the pretty girl whose
disappearance was reported to the po-
lice on Saturday, is now in the ma
irons room at the City Prison, as she
does not want to return to her parents.
Captain Burnett will endeavor to get
a suitable position for the girl, as he is
impressed with the truthfulness OF her
story as to her unhappy surroundings.
She will be asked this morning to swear
to a complaint charging D. Liapis,

mer employer. with battery.
The girl said that after leaving the

saw from the morning papers that the
police were searching for the girl she
telephoned to the station. Detective
Taylor went for the girl and took her to
headquarters. Mrs. Dillingham; corrob-
Grated the girls story.
The girl said that twice before she
had left Liapis' store. but her mother
compelled her to go back, although she

wanted to kiss her. Liapis told her
mother that he would marry the girl,
but she did not like him. She will be

too fond of liquor and her mother used
to drink with strange men when her
father was away from home. She de-
MED that she had ever met any young

SALOON VISITED
BY MASKED MEN
John Bielenberg, Proprietor,
and George Goodwin Look
Into Muzzle of RevOlvers

John Bielenberg, saloon-keeper, S9S
Ninth street. was chatting with George
Goodwin of 1892 Folsom street about
1:So O'Clock yesterday morning when
two men wearing red colored handker-
chiefs over their faces entered. Each
had a revolver in his right hand and
the taller of the two ordered Bielenberg
and Goodwin to throw up their hands.
The order was quickly obeyed. One
kept the muzZle of a revolver pointed
toward the victims, while the other
deftly went through their pockets. A
silver watch valued at $50, a gold link
chain valued at $40 and So were taken
from Bielenberg's pockets. Goodwin
lost a gold watch valued at s25, gold
plated chain with gold paddock and 81.
The cash register was then opened and
$40 taken from 1t.
"If you make a noise after we leave"
said the taller of the two robbers, I'VE
will come back and kill YOU" They
hurried from the place and no sooner
had they disappeared than Bielenberg
blew his police whistle long and loudly.
Policemen Hammond and Madden
heard the whistle and ran toward the
saloon. They were told of the hold-up
and made a search of the neighborhood,
but could find no trace of the men. De-
tectiye Mulcahy had occasion to visit
the saloon about five minutes after the
hold-up.
From the coolness displayed by the
robbers it is thought they are old hands
at the business. One is described as
about 80 years of age. feet 10 inches
tall, and the other about feet inches
tall His handkerchief dropped from
his face for a moment while he was
going through Bielenbergs pockets and
he had smooth, red face. Bielenberg
thinks he would know the man.

IN Her COFFEE
Gustav Ahlstedt Accused
by Wife of Having Had
Desire to Take Her Life
HE ONCE SHOT A MAN
Police Think They Have a
Good Case Against Pris-
oner in Their Custody

| For the second time in three years
Gustav Ahlstedt, twice married. is in
custody Of the police charged with a
serious crime. He Is accused by his
wife, Margaret, with having attempted
to poison her with strychnine. The
woman says that last Thursday her
husband, from whom she is expecting
to get q divorce, entered her rooms at
331 Jessie street and placed poison In
some jellies and also In coffee pot
that was on the stove.
Mrs. Ahlstedt, on entering the prem
ises, discovered an empty bottle In
which had been the poison. Remem-
bering that on January 29. 1902, Ahl-
stedt had killed a man whom he ac-
cused of winning the affections OF his
first wife, the second Mrs. Ahlstedt
took time and her designing spouse by
the forelock. Soon thereafter Police
man Thomas Finley landed hubby In
Jail.
I The charge against Ahlstedt is vio-
latfng section BAT of the Penal Code,
which provides punishment for poison
ers. Ahlstedt denies that he attempted
he knows nothing about the poison
that is said to have been injected into
his wife's eatables.
Ahlstedt's first wife died about two
years ago and soon afterward he mar
ried the woman who now wants him
sent to San Quentin for conspiracy.
Divorce proceedings have been pend
ing, but, according to Mrs. Ahlstedt's
story, the man has been attempting
to effect reconciliation. She says
that on last Thursday, during her alb
sence from home, Ahlstedt left his
rooming place at So East Park street
and at the Jessie street house gained
an entrance through back window,
that he dosed the jellies and the cof-
fee and then dropped the bottle that
had contained the poison. 1t was
found on the floor. Mrs. Ahlstedt re-
ported the matter to the police and
Detective Gibson was detailed to make
an investigation. Gibson thinks he can
prove that AhJstedt bought the poison
and that he afterward transferred it to
! q bottle Of particular make that was
known to have been some time in his
possession.
On January 20, 1902, Ahlstedt shot
Normile and Mrs. Ahlstedt had been
visiting friends near the Ahlstedt home
on Bernal Heights and both returned
at a late hour intoxicated. Ahlstedt
found his wife and Nornile sitting to-
gether in the backyard of his home and
he shot and instantly killed the man.
He was acquitted of the charge of
murder.
Ahlstedt has been addicted to the
use of liquor for years. He is labor
er, employed occasionally in the street
department.
