The San Francisco call., 1907-02-03

John Peterson and Edward Huse, who
occupied room % Friday night, were
questioned closely. The victims room.
81, immediately adjoins the room they
occupied, but they declared they had
heard no sound Of a struggle. They
retired at 10 o'clock, they stated, and
arose at yesterday morning. leaving
the house a few moments later. They
are sailors. Night Clerk Walter Du
Four, whose first night at the place
was Friday. stated that they were
sober and quiet when they retired that
night and that he had heard no COM
motion.
What appears to the police as the
most important evidence thus far ad-
duced was given by Andrew Stevenson,
a bartender, whose room is at the end
of a hall running past the victims
room and to back stairs leading to
Steuart street. Stevenson says that
about $3.50 o'clock yesterday morning
he heard two persons pass his door
They spoke low and walked rapidly.
They went down the back steps, but
shortly returned. passed his door again
and then down the hall. past the room
where the tragedy occurred, toward the
front entrance.
BLOOD STAINS ON WALL
On the white walI at turn in the
stairway are two blood stains. one
showing the imprint OF three fingers
These stains would seem to prove that
the murderer or murderers attempted
to leave the building by the back way
Finding the door padlocked, they re-
traced their steps and again passed
the door of the room occupied by
Stevenson.
Stevenson was very positive in his
statements to Captain Duke, and de-
clared that he could not be mistaken.
as he thought it strange at the time
that the men should be trying the rear
door as a means of exit.
The police decided to detain Peter
son and Huse. roomers In 2s. as a pre-
caution, though Captain Duke said he
was satisfied that neither of the men
was in any way implicated in the
crime. / They were both taken into
the room where the body lay. but be-
trayed no sign of fear; only horror at
the sight. Late last night both men
were released.
Peter Lang. a bartender, was the
last man, except the night clerk of the
roomfng house and the murderer. to

the saloon belonging to H Kesten-
macher about 12 o'clock or a little
after, and asked Bartender Lang for a
glass of beer.

Lang, because Of the peculiar cordu-

Ten-Ysar-o Old Girl 10 Instrumental in
circassian Vendetta.

st. Petersburg. June 11--Although
after half a century of Russian occu-
patton, private vendetta is still as rife
SIS ever In the Caucasus. where Cir
cassian would never think of inyok-
ing the tribunal to punish a wrong
which he could avenge himself, a case
Of vengeance has just occurred which
has staggered even that Wild people.
In the village of Guisingoule, in the
Kuta1s region, one peasant had been
murdered by another, and the victims
relatives at once assembled to de-
wise means of exactlng with their own
hands blood for blood. AS, however,
the assassin and his friends had taxi
en- elaborate precautions. and lived
practically in a state Of siege, no op-
porlunity presented itself and matters
appeared to be In an impasse.
In this emergency the murdered
mans youngest sister. girl OF 10.
charged herself with the duty OF
wreaking the family vengeance, and
accomplished It with grim complete-
ness. Keen witted enough to under
stand that her tender years would dis
arm suspicion. she first secreted q
knife In her clothing, and then sailed
out as though for a childs play.
Finding that. as she expected, no
notice was taken OF her, she even
skipped playfully into the house OF the
murderer himself, where she saw the
head Of the family, an old man of Is
stretched out on the floor asleep with
nobody near him.
Stealing up to him she drew her
knife, and In an instant had Munged
It deep into his throat When
seiaed, she calmly proclaimed that 10
avenge her brother was duty, and
mat nobody but herself had known Of
her purpose. The authorities are at
loss how to proceed with such a
precocious young fury.

Whites and Negroes Engage in Pls-
tot Battle Near Yazoo City.

Yazoo City, Miss. June las a
result of a racial clash near here on
Saturday, three negroes are dead,
two others were severely whipped and
four white men were wounded.
The trouble originated when T. d
Kirk, plantation owner, approached
a group OF negro tenants to instruct
them relative to some field work.
This angered the negroes, and one
of them, Abe Johnson, cursed Kirk,
who. because Of the number Of mis-
antagonists, and being unarmed, re-
treated towards his home to secure a
weapon.
Johnson and his three sons pro-
ceeded to their cabin on a like mis-
sion, and just before Kirk reached
his house he was overtsken and fred
on by one OF the younger negroes. At
traeted by the shooting, two of Kinks
brothers and T. r. Cheatham ran to
mis- assistance, and were fired on and
wounded. They returned the fire,
killing Green Johnson, one OF their
opponents.
The Johnsons then barrlcaded
themselves in their home, and defied
arrest The house was surrounded
and protection offered the inmates if
they would surrender.
On their refusal. the building was
attacked, two of the negroes killed
and two others severely whipped

TROUSERS IRREllGIOUS.

IL will assuredly seem more than strange that within the past hundred years the wearing of trousers has been regarded even as irreligious. The fact that in october 1912. an order was made by St Johns and Trinity Col leges that every young man who ap- peared in hall or chapel in pantaloOns or trousers should be considered as ab- sent is startling enough. but it would appear that eight years later the founders of a Bethel Chapel at Shef- field inserted a clause in the trust deed ordaining that under no circumstance es whatever shall any preacher be al- lowed to occupy the pulpit who wears trousers Notes and Queries.
