Wednesday leave her to her fate?"

Alfred Willis Makes Charges.
Alfred Willis Of Spokane, an ordi-
nary seaman Of the United States ship
Pensacola, aged 16, was one of the
survivors and tells a story of hard
ship that makes the blood curdle. He
was in the second boat, and when it
was launched found that the plugs
would not fit. He could find no other
plug and used his hand as a plug to
prevent the boat from filing and
sinking. The boat was washed through
the surf and was capsized. He was
washed to the shore and drawn out
three times by the uHdertow, but fin
ally caught his pants on a piece of
jagged rock and held. He is in very
bad shape. but came over the trail
in fine style.
No better example of discipline was
ever shown than when Willis arrived
at Pachena bay and saw Lieutenant
Colville of the United States ship
Grant. Recognizing his superior off,
Ger, he calmly saluted, and said:
Lieutenant. report. sir. 1t was,
indeed it was. pitiful scene" He is
loud in his praise for Mr.. Bunker, who
kept the party of survivors in good
spirits, and also to the rescue party
from the Salvor, to whom he gives
the credit of saving his life.
He is most emphatic in condemning
the officers and equipment Of the life
boats. In number two boat there was
no one who understood it's manage
ment, and it was steered by a fire
man. The wooden oarlocks broke at
the first stroke of the oars.

Los Angeles, Jan. 2S.--Mrs. G. A..
Garfield, wife of Multimillionaire and
Oil Magnate c. A. Canneld, and a
prominent society woman of Los An

related to the officers who captured
him, Buck wrote to Mrs. Garfield, So
Letting an interview and demanding
the payment of large sum of money,

Garfield sitting on the porch. When
he renewed his demand for cash, she
ordered him off the premises. A SER

struck Mrs. Garfield in the breast and
she fell back on the porch.

he leaned over and deliberately fred
another shot into her abdomen. The
first shot went directly through her
heart. On Bucks person, in addition
to the pistol with which he had done
the killing, were found 38 caliber re-

announcing his death:

peared to be quite we'll, and proceeded
to luncheon as usual. Toward the end
of the morning he gave evidence of in
disposition and was compelled to re-
tireito bed at $3.50 p. m. His majesty
