The great quantities of smoke which
poured from the burning roof gave rise
to the report that the entire block

salito and Father Phillips of San Ra-
fael leading, the condemned man left

and he left the world without fare
well TO any person. not even his wife,

his wife to italy, where he left her and
returned to America. He went to San
Francisco and then to Los Angeles.
