NEW FIRM TO OPEN
MARKET ST. BANK
AdoIph 0ttinger Reported Be-
hind Proposition to Lease
the Defunct Institution

Negotiations for the sale of the lease
and fixtures of the defunct Market
street bank have been practically closed
and the probabilities are that by No
vember ! a new bank under a new
name, will be occupying the offices of
the old bank. Adolph Ottinger, the
wealthy broker, is reported to be be-
hind the new enterprise.
The closing of the deal has been de-
layed on account of the absence from
the city of Joseph D. Grant, owner of
the building in which the bank was
located. The lease has been drawn UP
by his agents, and as soon as he arrives
in San Francisco the negotiations
probably will be concluded. The sale
of the fixtures includes all the interior
httings and the safe deposit vaults in
the basement of the building.

HOTEL GUEST GONE.
NONE KNOWS WHERE
Police Search for j. A. Cappers
of St. Charles, ILL.,, Who
Disappeared Friday

The sudden disappearance on Friday
last of J. A. Cappers of St Charles,
Ill, from his apartments at the Majes-
tic annex in Sutter street has caused
his friends serious apprehension and
has aroused the police to vigorous ef-
forts to find him. Cappers is a wealthy
man, prominent in his own community
and conspicuous figure in the Masonic
order and fraternal organizations of
Illinois.
Cappers went about well supplied
with money. A peculiar feature of his
disappearance is that he left between
$3.50 and $500 in the hotel safe when
he went away. The police fear that he
may have met with foul play.
The matter was reported to the po-
lice by a friend named Bail. He could
give little information to the police
regarding Cappers' movements Friday
The hotel people could tell less
Cappers had not been in the city
long. but through his fraternal affilia-
tions had made a number of friends
here. The police have telegraphed to
st. Charles, H., in an effort to learn
something that might aid them in
solving the mystery, and relatives of
the missing man have communicated
with this city, desiring to keep in
touch with the progress of the search

to be interested in the proposition of
the Market securities company. which
proposed to rehabilitate the bank.
Louis III. Mooser, the receiver of the
bank. was offered the management of
the bank proposed to be instituted by
Ottinger but refused the position. His
plea was that he could not very well
act as a protector of the depositors of
the defunct bank and manager of the
new bank at one and the same time.

MAGINI SUCCEEDS
IN DODG|NG POLICE
Slayer of Mrs. Geovanna Cregh-
inO Tracked to C0lma and
Then to Oakland

Pursued over three counties, with
patrolmen, mounted police and deputy
sheriffs on his trail, John Magini yes
terday successfully succeeded in evad-
ing arrest for the murder of his wife's
mother, Mrs. Geovanna Creghino, at
the Iatters home. 1892 Mission street,
late Saturday night The hunt for
Magini started Immediately after the
crime was discovered, and while the
determined police were at times close
on the murderer's trail they could not
reach him.
Magini was reckless in his move
ments. At 2 o'clock yesterday morning,
two hours after the murder was COM
mitted, he appeared at the home of a
friend named Segali at Colma and told
of his crime with the widest bravado.
He wanted Segali to shelter him. The
family shrank from the murderer, but
aided him to the extent of giving him
a cap He said that he had lost his,
hat
Later in the morning Magini was
seen at Hillcrest, farther down the
peninsula. Then he doubled on his
tracks and came through San Francisco
again. passing the place where the
murder was committed, and continuing
to Oakland. AT 8 o'clock he was at
the home of his brother, Dominica Ma
gini. conductor on the Oakland street
railway, living at 776 Forty-sixth
street. He left his brothers place
shortly after. The brother refused to
tell the, police of the murderer's move
ments.

by mounted police, followed Maginfs
