do you mean to say you didn't tell
me that d man was murdered while we
were standing outside the store2" asked
Mrs. Gilman, advancing in front OF
Scanlan.
i do" replied Seaman, beginning to
stutter in excitement. I Was-theres S
a nistake-I wasn't near the place"
You know you are mistaken" said
Mrs. Gilman. speaking rapidly You
know that you told me you We're an
eNpressman and that you did not like
a place where there were so many
murders You told me that a man had
been killed inside by being beaten 70
death with a gaspipe. You told me
that the murderers had robbed the
place after killing the proprietor. Why,
at the time you had an eXpressman' S

WOMAN Is POSITIVE.
You realize the gravity of the
charge you have nader" asked Captain
Duke OF Mrs. Gilman, just after the
iron door closed behind the form OF
Scanlan-
i do" replied Mrs. Gilman. There
is no possibility of my being mistaken.
Scanlan is the man that I talked with.
] am willing 10 swear to it"
What led me particularly to be sus-
picious OF the man." continued Mrs.
Gilman, was the fact that he said
the murder resembled the one that hap
pened on McAllister street.
How is thatT I asked him. He
replied that 1t was similar in char
acter-that the man was struck over
the head with a gaspipe IN the same
manner as the man on McAllister
street was struck when he stopped
down TO try on a pair of shoes.
When the boy and girl who dis
covered the murder came out of the
store with a policeman I asked Scan
Ian what would be done with them.
He said their pictures would be taken,
and then remarked: I have travelled
all over the world and this is the
worst place I've ever been in I re-
member the words distinctly, and his
remarking that he was an express
man.
He also told me that the policeman
had been summoned from the Hibernia
Bank, and that there was another po-
liceman farther down on Market street.

G|LLETT PLEASES
SANTA BARBARA.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


SANTA BARBARA, Oct. 1s.-James
for Governor, appeared before large
and representative audience at the op-
era house this evening, the demonstra-
tion being by far the most enthusiastic
of any in this city during the cam
paign.
Gillett opened with a short but tell
ing address, in which he replied to the
charges of Bell. He declared that it
was for the interests of the State that
the Republican ticket should be sue
cessful by a majority In keeping with
that given to Roosevelt two years ago.
Gillett. accompanied by Warren H.
Porter, the candidate for Lieutenant
Governor; Frank N. Short of Fresno,
and Frank Dominguez of Los Angeles
did not reach Santa Barbara from Riv-
erside until o'clock. In open car
riages, decorated with American flags,
the speakers were then conveyed to the
opera house, the Santa Barbara mill
tary. band escorting them.
Louis H. Rosenberg, the president
of the Gillett and Porter Club, was the
chairman of the evening and on the
stage were many prominent RepubIi-
cans.
q Gillett called upon the opposition to
show from his record in the State Sem
ate and in Congress that he had been
subservient to any interest except that
of the people or that he had not given
the laboring men the fullest and fair
est consideration. Frank H. Short
made a telling address. He said that
as Bell had not been able to make a
real Democratic speech, but had made
his campaign by asking for Republican
votes, he would try to make up for the
deficiency, and would endeavor to
show the Democrats why they should
vote for Gillett. He advised the Demo-
Gratis to stop finding fault, to cultivate
hopefulness and to get right on his
tory.
When you have done that, you will
find that you are Republicans he
added.
Warren r. Porter spoke briefly for
the ticket and for an Endorsement of
the Republicanism of Roosevelt.
Frank Dominguez closed the even
ing's speaking with an address in
Spanish. which appealed strongly to
the native Ca1ifornians present, who
applauded vigorously
Chairman ]. l.. Hurfbut and Secretary
Fred Schauer of the Republican county
central committee have received re-
ports from the committeeman of the
various precincts as to the probable
vote. On these reports the estimate is
given out that Gillett's plurality in the
county will be above 500.

FUNSTON EXPLAINS.

WASHINGTON, Oct 1s.-General
Frederick Funston, who went to Cuba
in command of the first American army
expedition, returned here today and, in
explaining his recall and the placing OF
General Bell, the chief of staff, in
charge of the army of pacihcation, de-
MED that he was recalled because he
deserted from the Cuban army and on
this account was unpopular with the
Cuban insurgents. He denied that he
had deserted.
In discussing the situation in Cuba
General Funston said:
'I feel hopeful of the situation there,
but I am not as sure as some people
are who don't know so much about the
Cubans as / do.
II don't think it was ever the inten-
tion that 1 should be the permanent
commander in Cuba. / think that when
1 was picked to handle the first expe-
dition it was supposed that there would
be others following and that when the
later additions were made to the force
in the island some other officer would
be placed in command"

CHARGES MRS. CLARK WITH
EXERTING UNDUE INFLUENCE
Opposition 10 the Probate of the VIII
of Mrs. Sarah JamisOn Ask for
Jury Trial.

SANTA ROSA, Oct. 1S.-The attor-
neys of James M. Bethel and Rachael
B. Morton mailed second amended
opposition to the probate of the will
of the late Sarah J, Jamison to County
Clerk Fred L. Wright yesterday, which
was not received until today's mail.
The attorneys for the proponent filed
a demand for the entry of default
against the opponents early in the day,
but the amended opposition arriving
later has caused the County Clerk to
await a ruling of the court before
taking any action.
The opposition charges Sarah ]. Clark
with exercising undue influence over
Mrs. Jamison, who was her grand
mother and resided with her at the
time of making the will. The oppo-
sitien asks for a trial before a jury.
The case is one of long standing and
promises TO be quite sensational when
it comes to a hearing.

RESPITE FoR MRS. MYERS.

WASHINGTON, Oct 18. - Justice
Brewer Of the Supreme Court of the
United States today declined to either
grant or deny the application for a writ
of error in the case Of Mrs. Aggie
Myers, who is under sentence of death
on the charge of numbering her hus-
band in Kansas City in 1904. The Jus
tice said il would be necessary to have
q more complete record Of the case be-
fore passing upon it. This decision will

cally the same view of the situation.
He expresses his views as follows:
The Grand Jury is acting too hastily.
1t should await developments l think
that it is bad policy to remove pub
lie officer on the spur of the moment.
1 believe Chief Dinan is performing his
duties conscientiously."
Commissioners Creswell and Umbsen
evidently do not care about being
mixed up in the controversy. They
both absolutely refused to discuss the
action of the Grand Jury, saying that
they had not read the report and there
fore were not in a position to make
comments.
Patrolman Joseph ]. Heffernan, ac-
cused of being drunk while in charge
of a prisoner at the City and County
Hospital, win have a hearing at the
next meeting of the board. The case of
Patroiman Parquet, accused of striking
a woman, was also held over till the
next meeting.

Mrs Gilman furnished many other
details to Captain Duke concerning
what she saw about the store. She

tails. she said, as they had impressed
her so yividly at the time.
Her daughter made a like statement,
declaring that there could be no doubt
in her mind as to the identity of Scan
Ian.
HIS STORY CONTRADICTED.
Ever since his arrest Scanlan has
maintained with dogged persistence
that he was working as an expressman
on September IA, and that he never was
In the vicinity of Friede's store on that
day The first evidence in the posses
sion of the police leading to the belief
that he was lying as to his where
abouts was the statement of Patrolman
Jordan, who said he saw Scanlan on
the day of the murder walking away
from Friede's store. Scanlan denied
this.
The next evidence of positive char
acter was that given by Charles c.
Pohl, a driver for the Morton Special
Delivery Company. He did Seanlan's
work for him that day, afterWard CIV
ing Scanlan three receipts for baggage
delivered for Dr. Frank Anderson of
Vallejo and two other peHons. This
evidence merely showed that Scanlan
lied about working on the day of the
murder, but did not connect him with
the crime directly
The first information proving that
Scanlan was a criminal was given to
the police by Margery Ryan, his sweet
heart, who betrayed him to the extent
Of saying he had confessed to her that
he had robbed a man. Then came the
arrest of Louis Howard, alias Taylor,
and Arthur Smith. Both made con-
fessions and involved Scanlan. A. j..
Eaton, a merchant, was the next wit
ness, and positively identified Seaman
as one of the men who on the night
of July / last beat him UP and robbed
him of ss5 and a gold watch.
Despite the fact that Seaman was
informed that he had been betrayed
by the Ryan girl and his former pals,
and Notwithstanding his positive iden-
tification as a holdup man, he has re-
mained obdurate and protested his In
nocence of all charges. He has denied
that he ever committed robbery
