DESERTED WIFE
LOSES SIGHT
Bed Ridden Mother of Five
Is Stricken Blind and Be-
comes Insane From Grief

For nearly a week five children, all
under ten years of age. have been try
ing to take care of mother bedridden
and nearly demented by grief and wor-
ry at the desertion of her husband, Os-
car Ohlson. Yesterday the woman sud-
denly became blind and lost her reason
altogether.
The unhappy mother and the help
less little ones have been living in
wretchedS tenement at Il Clara street.
Since the desertion of Ohlson only such
scraps of food as neighbors could spare
came into the Ohlson home. The few
miserable sticks of furniture that the
family once possessed were sold to buy
bread. Very few loaves could be bought
with the proceeds.
The elimination of the helpless fami-
ly's misery came yesterday. Mrs. Ohl
son gave way to despair and began to
shrek, wildly. Where are you? OH
children. where are your" she cried.
"I can't see you any more"
Hearing the voices of the little ones,
the mother attempted to move toward
them, holding her arms outstretched
after the manner of those who walk In
darkness. She staggered and fell to
the floor. still crying, Where are you?
cannot see you." She had been
stricken blind.
For while the children huddled in a
corner, terrified at the wild cries Of
their mother The eldest boy, Oscar.
0 years old, approached her timidly and
touched her on the shoulder.
.sI can't see, can't see,' she moaned.
Don't you know me, mamma?" he
asked
II can't see, I can't see," she NUT
tered stupidity.
The boy ran out of the house and told
his story to Policeman Ryan, who at
once summoned an ambulance and had
the woman taken to the Central Emer-
gency Hospital. where she will be held
pending investigation as to her sanity
The children were taken in charge by
the Society for the Prevention of Cruel
ty to Children.
Policeman Ryan says that the condi-
ton of the children was pitiful when he
found them. They were huddled In
corner like a group of gaunt little spec
tres, watching their stricken mother
with terror and grief
The police are looking for the father.

SMITH RETURNS
TO old HAUNTS
Nan Patterson's Brother-in
Law Arrives in Town and
Seeks for New Evidence
VISITS FRIENDS HERE
Witness i'm Famous Case Is
Said to Have Expressed
Belief i'm Girls Innocence

j. Morgan Smith was in town. This
may not be of particular interest to
the citizen of San Francisco, but they
say that it is to the man of Gotham.
]. Morgan Smith has been out of the
focus of the New York eye for nearly
six weeks and during that time he has
been badly wanted.
Smith is the brother -in-law of Nan
Patterson, accused of the murder OF
Caesar Young, we'll known In his life
time as a maker of racing pools and
an all around sport. 1t was smith
pistol with which the murder or Young
was supposed to have been committed
and for that reason the prosecution
looked high and low for. the young
man on the Bowery, throughout the
tenderloin and in divers other neigh
borhoods that J. Morgan was wont to
affect when not actively engaged in
the business of promoting extensive
financial transactions.
Word came by wire from New York
yesterday that the metropolitan ponce
were still trying to trail Smith. but
that his footsteps had not been, so 1ar
as they were concerned, visible to the
naked eye. Some one on the Bowery
told some one else that Smith had
reached the Pacific Coast and that he
had wired II am in Frisco" to one or
his friends. This was true, for day
before yesterday the much sought wit
ness was parading Market street and
later made his headquarters at 543
O'Farrell street, where he is acquainted
with a couple of actor folh.
Smith left the city yesterday for
day or more and is expected back Sat
urday. He said that he was here to
look up evidence that might be of some
advantage to his sister-in-law and that
naturally he did not wish to give the
New York prosecutors anything re-
garding the pistol-or anything else
that might tend to strengthen the case
against the pretty chorus girl. HIS
testimony is important to the prosecu-
ton, but he does not want to give 1T,
for he is said to be a firm believer in
Nan Patterson's innocence.
Smith is widely known in this city
He has been here on many occasions
and about two years ago was familiar
figure in the downtown district. He
left this city to follow the races on the
Eastern circuit and during the Nan
Patterson trial was called as a witness
to testify that it was his pistol that
sent Young to his death. He never an
swered the summons, but left New
York for the Middle West, then for
Los Angeles and San Francisco. He
told friends that he knew nothing about
the pistol incident and that he did not
believe that the revolver was that
which was found in the cab on the
night of the fatal shooting of Young.

PARISHIONERS SAY GOOD-BY
TO FATHER p. j. McQUAIDE
Members of Holy Redeemer Church
Present Their Popular Pastor
With Substantial Check.

Members of Holy Redeemer parish
crowded the hall of the church last
night to bid farewell to their popular
pastor. the Rev. Father Joseph p.
McQuaide. who has been transferred
to Sacred Heart Church to, take the
place of the late. Father Hugh La
gan. Father McQuaide has been with
Holy Redeemer parish ever since it
was instituted and has earned the love
of every man, woman and child in it.
Though the gathering last night
was on short notice, the hall was
packed with people eager to shake
their beloved pastors hand and to bid
him godspeed. Every society connect
ed with the church gave him some
gift to remember 1t by. In behalf of
the entire parish Father Moran, as
sistant pastor, handed Father Nc
Quaide an envelope containing a sub
stantial check. When Father Nc
Quaide attempted to express his ap-
probation emotion overcamet him and
he could say little. He shook every
one of his parishioners by the hand
and gave them his blessing. They in
turn wished him as great success in
his new work as he had achieved at
Holy Redeemer parish.

may be taken in some instances.
Aigeltinger piloted the party to Mar
ket and O'Farrell streets and initiated
the members into the odors that
emanate from the kitchen of a restau-
rant in the Phelan building, which is
directly under the sidewalk. Aigel-
finger said that IL the Grand Jury
did not take action to abate what he
considers a nuisance from the bad
odors the Board of Works would do
so. He suggested that the kitchen be
moved away from under the sidewalk
and vent pipe installed to carry off
the odors. Tharp was instructed to
submit plans on the change to the
Grand Jury.

After the second act, Admiral Me-

gratitude to the players and to the
house.

yes, and big and generous. If there
were any devotees of the shine not be-
meath the dome, they weren't missed in
the crush.
The music was delight, given by
Mare Island Station Band, under the
direction of Charles Grosskurth, band
master,FU. S. N. A bevy of sailor lad
dies bore down upon the stage at the
end of the third act and showered
the players with flowers. The play
over, and the applause an echo, con-
graduation went out to the whole cast,
and to its clever director, Mr.. Matthieu.
The amateurs had pluck, but they
called their bluff in the best of style.

hear them again.
