Pfitzner said he would. and the talk
passed to other matters. The murder
occurred shortly after Ruben left the
store.
Ruben picked Scanlan out from three
men lined up before him at police
headquarters.
IF Scanlan isn't the man who called
while 1 was in the store he said to
Captain Duke. ''he must have a double
who cannot be recognized apart from
him"

.GAsP|PE SLAYERS
TO Be CHARGED.
Police Hold Ralph Scanlan
and Lewis Taylor for
the Murder of Pftzner
AMASS NEW EVIDENCE

All doubt in the mind of the police
as to the persons responsible for the
death of Johannes Pftzner and the
mystery surrounding one of the most
brutal of the recent gaspipe murders
was cleared away yesterday by the
completion of the investigation that
has been pursued by Captain of De-
tectiyes Duke. Ralph Scanlan and
Lewis Taylor, alias Howard, will be
formally charged with the murder to-
day, and if they eventually escape
hanging it will be only by beating
down one of the most complete and
convincing chains of circumstantial
evidence ever presented to jury in
California.
Theodore Durrant mounted the gall
lows at San Quentin for the killing of
Minnie Williams and Blanche Lamont,
and Adolph Weber was executed at
Folsom as the exterminator of whole
family on less evidence than is now In
possession of the police against Scan
Ian and Taylor for the murder of PfitZ-
ner in his store on McAllister street
This is the evidence against the
jailed pair which the police think will
convict them:
f. j. Murphy, shoe salesman, saw
Scanlan trying on pair of shoes
in Pfitzner's store the day of the
murder, and is confident that How
ard was In waiting outside at the
time.
Samuel Gordon of Angels Camp,
who has known Howard from
childhood, saw him coming from
Pftzner's store on the afternoon
of the murder I'm company of
man whom he Identifies from
photographs as being ScanIan.
j. A. Personn, former policeman in
Australia, identifies blood-spotted
coat found in TayIor's lodgings
garment worn by a man entering
Pftzner's store, whom. he is GER
tain is Taylor.
j. b. Ruben, friend of the muir
dered merchant, who was In his
shop few moments before the
crime, Identifies Scanlan the
man who looked hurriedly at a pair
of shoes and left without trying
them ON when they began to look
at him.
This evidence. the police believe,
links both Scanlan and Taylor with
the murder of Phtzner in a manner
that they cannot explain away.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE.

Scanlan, in addition to this evidence,
has been Identified by Mrs. Charles
Gilman and her daughter. Ruby, as
the lookout stationed outside the shop
of William Friede, the Market-street
haberdasher. the day the latter was
murdered Captain Duke has been un-
able to link either of the pair more
positively with this crime, but has not
yet exhausted the clews in his pos
session and intimated last night that
further evidence in this connection was
being amassed against them
Gordon. Personn and Ruben are the
new witnesses against Scanlan and
Taylor that figure in the investigation
ended by Captain Duke yesterday, the
testimony of Murphy and the Gillmans
having already been set forth in de-
tail.
.Of the new witnesses. Gordon is
among the most important. On the
day of the murder he came from An
gels Camp TO buy a suit of clothes.
He went for these to the store of Hon-
man. Rothchild & Co. Golden
Gate avenue and Cough street. He
found clothes that suited him, but the
trousers wer~ trifie too long, and he
was obliged 60 10 a tailor's 10 have
them altered. The shop of this tailor
is on McAllister street, near Octavia,
and as Gordon was standing outside he
noticed Taylor and another man coming
from the direction of Phtzner's store
on McAllister street, between Laguna
and Buchanan.

Tavlor was born in Angels Camp

was a boy Both men attracted the at
tention of Gordon by their rapid walk.
and he edged out closer toward the
pavement to get a better look at them.
AS he did this he recognized Howard,
and saw him turn his face sideways.
Both Howard and his companion paused
a moment. Then they crossed to the
opposite side of McAllister street and
hurried past Gordon.
Gordon thought their conduct strange
at the time, but was not led to regard
them with suspicion until questioned by
the police. He had no doubt about the
identity of Howard, he said. and readily
identified Scanlan from photographs as
the man who accompanied the latter.
Personn, the former Australian po-
liceman, now works for the Mendal
Candy Company at 934 McAllister
street. On the afternoon of the Pfitz-
ner murder he saw a man entering
Pfitzner's store wearing striped gray
coat He only got side glance al
this man, but is certain that 1t was
Taylor. The gray coat, which was
afterward found in Taylor's lodgings
was positively identified by him, the
distinctive nature of the pattern pre-
cluding the possibility of a mistake
There are a number of blotches down
the front of this coat which Captain
Duke believed to be blood as soon as
he examined them. The blotches show
| ed traces of having been washed on the
/ outside of the coat, but the cloth stiff
! fened by the clotted matter and the un-
der side showed stains which have
every appearance of blood.

Last week some self.important
democrats sent word to Oakley that
they would hold rally in Oakley.
Hon. w G. Martindale engaged the
Opera House for Friday evening and
informed them Of the fact. They
sent no posters advertising them
selves for Saturday night. Mr.Mar-
tindale promptly informed them that
they could not get the hall for Sat
urdav night as it had been engaged
for weeks by the local Operetta COM
panv.
Whether they ever came near or
not we do not know, but now the
contemplate rascals are telling
every where over the state and
especially over the Twin Falls tract
that the Enormous wouldn't even
allow them to hold a rally in Oak

The local public have rarely, il
ever, witnessed such a beautiful
and entertaining, performance as
that given in the Opera House
on Saturday evening last and
repeated on Monday evening.
1t is always delightful to
watch little children perform
and especially when they have
been carefully trained and drilled
and there is nothingin the world
more charming and delightful
than children's music.
In the "Dream of Falkland"
the children showed most excel
lent training not only in acting
but in singing and the result was
a grand artistic success.

The Conference.

Cassia Stake never enjoyed a
better conference than that Of
Saturday and Sunday last
From the first meeting until the
last it was a continual feastine
upon the riches of the Lords
storehouse of wisdom and in
struction, and the saints return
ed to their homes feeling that
they had indeed been fed upon
the "bread of life"
Fortunately, too, the atten-
dance was exceptionally large so
that the benefits of the gather
ing will be widely distributed
and disseminated throughout
the stake.
Apostle O. F, Whitney who
was In attendance, was highly
favored in his ministrations un-
to the people, and a spiritual
awakening will surely follow his
instruction. The state presi-
dency were also particularly fell
citous in their remarks and in
deed. all that took part, did so
under the spirit of inspiration,
so that a most intense interest
was manifested in all the pro-
ceedings. and great good will as
suredly accrue.
