OF John c. Fuller, residing at 661
Thirty eighth street, the father appeal
ed again today to the police for protec
tion against the strange person who
has added another chapter of mystery
to = remarkable attempt at .kidnap-
ing
Following closely upon the recovery
OF his little girl and the finding OF her
shorn locks and her garments near
their home, Fuller today received
message through the mails which de-
clsres that the father and the police
man who found the baby are to be
slain and the innocent victim of the
plot is 20 pc kidnapped
once more. These ominous threats
have distracted the father and mother,
who are nearly beside themselves on
account OF the experiences OF the last
few days
The letter which Fuller received to-
day and turned over to the police reads
as follows:
Sir ] see you have received the
bundle / sent you. The next bundle
and with great force l have drove the
last nail in your affair, and l will get
the girl yet. She is mine. will also
get the oficer who took her to the
police station. / have never harmed
you, but you are my man.
Ny motive for taking the girl is, |
was paid one hundred dollars TO take
her 10 San Francisco to a certain party.
You need not fear. l will take the
girl alive and win take you dead:
BLACK HAND.
HANDWRITING COMPARES.
The message was written with an
indelible pencil. the handwriting COM
pairing with that on the package which
contained little Genevieve's discarded
clothing and curls which was found
dence and marked with their address.
After the child was found the morn
ing OF June 5. she said smooth
shAven man had taken her away. The
police have found q witness to her
KIDNAPPING in the person of boy named
Richie, who resides at 1870 Grove
street The youth said he saw a man
in a four wheeled rig, that looked like
a doctors buggy. driven by a smooth
shaven man, stop near the Fuller's
home the afternoon of June 4. The
man stopped his team and took the
little girl IN the buggy and drove away
with her. The boy is positive he could
identify the kidnaper
With that knowledge the police have
commenced a search of the livery
stables OF the city and nearby localities
in an effort to trace the mysterious
stranger. They have also taken up
the further clew that was supplied to-
day by the chiid's father when he relat-
ed his daughters experiences with her
abductor. In her baby way the girl
has related how the stranger petted
and caressed her and told her to call him
papa" He drove with her across the
creek, and took his little victim to an
empty room, where, she said, he pre-
pared a meal of eggs. tea and wine.
The child related how the man gave
her candy and told her to call him
dear"
he was nice to me-" said the girl,
but he wasn't as nice as my own
papa"
But little Genevieve could not toll
how she came to the Seventh-street
station at Broadway. where she was
found. She was hazy, too, about the
circumstances surrounding the change
of garments and the shearing of her
long curls, until she resembled a boy
in the boys suit of linen and the
boys hat that were substituted for
her own bonnet and pretty blue calico
dress
LETTER HAILED MONDAY NIGHT.
The child is the youngest of the Full
lers three children. She had been seen
in the front yard of the residence at
o'clock the afternoon of June 4, a
week ago lest Monday. Half an hour
later the child had disappeared. That
night Fuller went to the police The
following morning Genevieve was seen
at the Southern Pacific local station
but in her boys costume she did not
appear as girl. Not until she was
taken to the police was her identity
disclosed. The father took the baby
home after she had narrated enough
to prove that she had been kidnapped
But how, when or where was shrouded
in mystery. The Fullers, overjoyed by
the recovery of the child, had permit
ted Themselves to give the experience
no further thought, when another
chapter OF the strange story was added
by the finding Of her missing garments
and silken locks of hair. This occurred
Sunday afternoon last when a niece of
Mrs. j. E. Davenport, residing at 53l
Thirty eighth street, near the Fuller
residence, saw a package wrapped in
a newspaper lying in a geranium bush
near the Davenport home Mrs. Daven-
port examined the contents and noted
the address on the margin of the wrap
per. She OWNED that the garments
were those of the Fuller child, and
the police were notified. Now quickly
follows the letter which threatens Full
Ter with death.
Post marks on the envelope show
that it was mailed Monday night, for
IL was Cancelled yesterday morning at
8 o'clock. Detectives are trying to To-
cate the section of the city in which
the letter was posted.
Fuller was in conference with Chief
Of Police Wilson for some time this
afternoon. The father declared he could
not fathom the mystery. He is a fruit
dealer in humble circumstances, and
Of Portuguese parentage. though a
native of this city. Fuller said:
Born in this city, I have lived here
nearly all my life. To my own knowI-
edge have not an enemy in the world
| cannot understand why any one
should want to harm me or to injure
any one in my family. The threat to
kill me and to take my baby again is
something 1 cannot explain. If it is
being done in an attempt to extort
money from me, am afraid the plotter
has come to the wrong place. l shall
take every precaution against an at !
tack, and l am sure no one will have |
an opportunity again TO steal my child"
Chief of Police Wilson is puzzled over
the disclosures today. He is devoting
attention to the case Among
the tangible clews is the fact that the I
boys hat and the suit which Genevieve !
was wearing were purchased from Jo-
mas store, Eleventh street and Broad |
