SAN FRANCISCO POLICE A0TIVE
Former Butler and Maid Under Rigid
Examination.

San Francisco, March For the last
two days the police have been more
active in their Investigations Of the
circumstances surrounding the death
Of Mrs. Jane L. Stanford.
Albert Beverly, the former butter
and Miss Elizabeth Richmond, the for
mer maid, have been through a severe
inouisition lasting nearly three hours,
and the police say they are not
through with them.
Mountford Wilson, attorney for the
Stanford estate; District Attorney By
ington and Captain of Detectives Bur.
nett did the questioning.
The police have steadfastly refused
to divulge the line of questioning to
which Beverly and Miss Richmond have
thus far been subjected, built Is learn
ed from reliable source that Beverly
admitted to them he was in the habit
of taking commissions on purchases
made for the household while in Mrs,
stanford's employ. This much the po-
lice have admitted, but they refuse to
affirm or deny the correctness of a fur
ther reported statement of Beverly
that Miss Berner shared with him in
these commissions on purchases. In a
cable dispatch from Honolulu, she
makes an absolute denial of such a
charge.
Miss Richmond declared to the police
that it was Butler William McWhinney
who opened the bottles of mineral wa
ter on the occasion of the attempt made
to poison Mrs. Stanford last January.
McWhinney succeeded Beverly as the
butler and had been in Mrs. Stanford
employ for five weeks previous to the
first attempt to poison her.
1t has been learned to-day that Mrs.
Stanford had been worried for a num-
ber of weeks before the attempt was
made to poison her on January IA, by
an insane Chinaman named Wong Toy
Wong. He is said to have written hei
a letter in which he demanded that she
give him 100000, which he said he had
on deposit in the Leland Stanford, Jr.
University Trust bank, a mythical in
stitution. The man hung around the
Stanford residence until he was arrest
ed by detective. He was sent to an
insane asylum February 8. Both the
private detectives and the local police
deny they ever suspected this man OF
poisoning Mrs. Stanford. 1t is known
however, that they spent much time in
tracing his movements. #

ROSIE DE IsTETRo DEAD.
Young italian Woman who Was Re.
Gently Acquitted of Murder.


New York, March 7--Rosie de Pietro,
the young Italian matron recently ac-
quilted of murder when placed on trial
for killing an italian who had made
improper advances toward her, is dead
in Long Island City and the police are
making an investigation Of the case.
Mrs. DePietro gave birth to a child
two weeks ago, but apparently was
making a satisfactory recovery. She
had not had the attention Of a physi-
clan for several days prior to her
death. The investigation is being made
by a coroner's physician and 1t is pos
sibie that an autopsy may be perform
ed. @- a#'~ II
When Mrs. DePietro was in the
Tonbs awaiting trial on a charge of
murder her case attracted wide atten-
tion. Hundreds of women all over the
country interested themselves in the
prisoner and scores of petitions asking
for her release were, sent to the district
attorney. ,5Ea

erals NOgi and oku to push the en-
circling movement north and eastward
across General Kuropatkin's line Of
communications was blocked. Reports,
however, are conflicting. One CORE
spondent telegraphs of hearing firing to
the northward, toward Tie pass, which
may be between Cossacks and a flying
column of Japanese.
Some Russian correspondents per-
haps attach undue importance to sew
eral minor Russian successes on the
south front, which evidently were SIM
ply counter attacks and in no sense
real offensive movements. If Kuropat-
kin has plan for striking a real blow,
upon which, in the opinion of experts,
his salvation depends, there is no indi-
cation yet of such purpose. The COM
mander-in-chief has been confining his
strategy, as at Liaoyang, to meeting
the attacks of the Japanese and ac-
cepting battle at places chosen by Field
Marshal Oyama.
Both sides are terribly exhausted by
ten days of continuous lighting, and all
the correspondents at the front inti-
mate that the issue must be definitely
decided to-day. c~,.-'.. .,.,, ..g IL. 3.
At the military clubs here General
Kuropatkin is already regarded as
beaten, the only question being his abil-
ity to execute a retreat. Those who be-
1ieve there is still a chance of actual
Russian victory are few and far be-
tween. The majority regard the fight
ing yesterday as in reality a rearguard
action, entertaining no doubt that
. there will be heavy withdrayal dur
ing the night. These officers, however,
are dependent upon practically the
same information as the public.

John Ross Receives Bullet BY Mistake
in Water street Brnwl.


A serious shooting ARRAY occurred
early this morning in front Of the rail-
road "Y'' ON the corner of Commerce
and Water streets, and as result John
Ross of Whiting street lies at Grace
hospital in critical condition and with
small hopes for recovery. Ross was
shot by Alexander Barratta, an Italian.
in mistake for James P. Brady, a rail-
road conductor living at 66 Hill street,
for whom the bullet was intended
The trouble started by Brady at
tempting to separate Michael Sullivan
and man named Sappo Rockford, who
had started to fight in the railroad s.Y'
at the corner of Commerce and Water
streets He had demonstrated with
them and had finally got them out on
the sidewalk amid considerable swear
ing and loud talk.
Unfortunately, at this moment a par
ty of Italians, including Ross, came
along, and, hearing the swearing, be-
lieyed that it was intended for them,
and after a few words had been ex-
changed between the two parties the
Italians started to attack Brady. He
broke away from them, however, and
as he did so Barratta pulled out a re-
volver and fired, the bullet striking
Ross, who was struggling with the 9TH
ers in an attempt to catch Brady before
he could get completely away.
The latter then Immediately hurried
to the Howard avenue police station
and notified Sergeant Tiernan of the
shooting, and Barratta and several of
the other Italians We're arrested. They
are now locked up at police headquar-
ters, charged with breach of the peace,
the charge to be changed later should
Ross die.
The revolver supposed to have been
used in the shooting and part Of Bra
dy's vest, which had been torn of, dur
ing the struggle, and which contained
his pocketbook, were found further UP

ate OF soda Of which Mrs. Stanford par
took on the night of her death, and
that they would so declare to the cor
oner's jury.
At the inquest later in the day, the
chemists testified, corroberating the
above statements.
Honolulu, March 7.-When the in
quest into the death of Mrs. Jane L.
Stanford was resumed to-day, the first
witness called to the stand was R. A,
Duncan, food commissioner and chem
ical analyst tothe board of health. he
testified that three analyses of the bot
tie of bicarbonate of soda found IN
Mrs. Stanford's room had been made.
He said: II made the first analysis
alone, and in ten grams of the bicar-
Donate of soda obtained seven one
hundredths GOD of a grain Of strych-
nine. The second analysis, made IN
conjunction with Mr.. Edmund Shorey,
a chemist Of the United States agricul'
tural station. In ten grams Of the bl-
carbonate of soda we obtained thirteen
onehundredths {o1S) Of a grain OF
strychnine. In the third analysis of
the same amount of biearbonate OF
soda we secured fourteen one-hun'
dredths (0.14) of grain of strychnine.
BY calculation, we estimate that in the
bottle were forty-three grams of bicar-
Donate of soda and that the bottle con.
tanned half grain of strychnine. The
methods of analysis used in the last two
experiments were more reliable.
''We examined portion of the con-
tents of the stomach with negative
result for strychnine. We further ex-
mined one kidney and some of the con-
tents of the intestines but were unable
to separate any poison from the sub
stances; yet we obtained the color reac-
tion characteristic Of strychnine. We
then combed all the remaining organs,
including the liver, and found that q
test of an extraction gave the same re-
suits as the intestines, namely, the coll
or reaction Indicative Of strychnine.
The test we used is known as the fad
ing purple test, and so far as know
it is the most reliable test. The color
reaction wet obtained is not produced
except by strychnine.
Dr. Edmund Shorey corroborated the
testimony OF DR.. Duncan as to the re-
suit Of their analysis. When asked as
to the amount Of strychnine DR.. Shorey
said: Il have not said and would not
say that we found any strychnine in
the stomach and other organs. would
simply say that we developed the color
reaction which strychnine causes. Any
quantity at all will cause a color reac-
ton if there is sufficient residue from
the matter being tested after the elm
ination process. @r

DEFENSE SCORES In
THE CHADWICK CASE
GAINS POINT REGARDING DE-
POSITS IN oBERLIN BANK.

Accused Did Have Money in the In
sfitution at the Time OF Drawing
Certain Checks-Assistant Cashier
Greatly Confused on Witness Stand--
Andrew Carnegie May Not be Called
ON to Testify.
Cleveland, March mime witnesses
were examined in the Chadwick trial
to-day, and the defense established the
fact that the claim of the government
that Mrs. Chadwick had no money in
the Oberlin bank at the time of drawing
checks which were certified by Spear
and Beckwith was incorrect, in two in
stances at least.
1t was shown by the general journal
of the bank that on November 3, 1908,
when Mrs. Chadwick received certi-
fed check for $4,000, an entry crediting
her with that amount was made on the
journal of the bank, and a deposit slip
! for $4,000 was made out in her name.
The entry and the slip were in the
handwriting of Cashier Spear. Another
entry of similar nature, amounting to
S., 900, was also found. These facts
were brought out on cross-examination
by counsel for Mrs. Chadwick after
long and tedious questioning of H. IL.
Avery, assistant cashier of the Oberlin
bank. Avery at first testified that Mrs.
Chadwick at no time had either money
| in or credit at the bank.
1t is doubtful if Andrew Carnegie
will take the stand. District Attorney
| Sullivan said this afternoon: 1T is not
my present intention to put Mr. Car
negie on the stand, and do not think
that he will be called upon to testify,
unless his evidence should be needed in
rebuttal of something introduced by the
| defense" '55~
