The Hawaiian star., 1906-01-05

Frank Johnson has confessed to the
murder of little Simeon Wharton. His
confession is complete in every detail,
and leaves no doubt but that he is the
perpetrator of the awful and fiendish
deed.
The first news the public had that
Johnson had confessed was when II
was announced on the Stars bulletin
board this morning at 10 o'clock.
Johnson first confessed to Deputy
Sheriff Cox early this morning. Later
he repeated it with more detail to
Sheriff Brown and Chester Doyle, and
still later told the story to the coroner's
jury.
Johnsons story is that on Tuesday
last he followed several days of hard
drinking with more drinking, this time
of japanese sake. About five o'clock
in the afternoon of Tuesday he was
not far from the Wharton house. The
little boy Simeon was playing about.
Suddenly he was seized with an i'm
pulse to kill the child, and acting on
this impulse he did kill the child. No
sooner had he done so then he was
overcome with horror at what he had
done.
For a time he was paralyZed and
could do nothing. Then the dread OF
discovery came over him, and he dua

SAN FRANCISCO, December %
Capitalist William A. p. Brewer Of
San Mateo is dead at his beautiful villa
in FL Cerrto Park. An autopsy held
this morning, says double pneumonia
killed him. DR.. w. L. Norris of San
Mateo, the family physician, Says
Christian Science killed him. Healer
]. w Russell, the prosperous Christian
Science practitioner who treated Brew
er, says the fear" killed him. Dr.
Norris refuses to sign the death certi-
ficate.
"The Fear" which is supposed to
have killed Brewer is the mystery in
the case. 1t is indefinable, evasive, a
malady that defies doctors, and is
deadly THE Fear" killed Brewer no
matter what it is or what cOroners may
decree.
The family, composed of the Misses
Nora and Annie Brewer, prominent
society girls who returned from Europe
in time to witness the death of their
father with no physician to mitigate
his dying agony, unless the Scientist
attendant be excepted, and a son who
is a student at the State University,
have taken no action. Nothing was
done six years ago when Mrs Brewer
endured the slow torture of an internal
cancer for years and died with her
faith pinned to this same Christian
