GOELET'S CAREER
LIKE NOVEL PLOT

BERKELEY, May 1.-The history
of William w. GOelet, society bon
vivant and eX-convict, betrayed into
the hands of the police by his wife,
who was formally charged with bur
ter of the fashionable NOrthgate
apartments, reads like that of a dime
novel hero. DR.. Jeykl and Mr.. Hyde
seem an unromantic story when COM
pared with that of Goelet, alias D. F.
Wythe, spiritual adviser under W. e.
Biddewolfe and Benjamin Fay Mills.
He travelled around the world, is a,
master of several foreign tongues,
served in the Spanish American war,
besides being a physician, profession
al nurse, man of affairs and an all
around good fellow.
His prison record was discovered
by Ed Gibson of the San Francisco
police identiflcations bureau, who dis
covered that Goelet was convicted of
burglary in the second degree from
Sacramento and sentenced to San
Quentin for three years. He was re-
leased last September and then be-
gan his career of a society favorite,
prince of good fellows and brilliant
conversationalist.
Dazzling society of the bay cities,
Goelet was guest at fashionable ho-
tells and apartment houses Of Oak
land, Alameda, Berkeley and San
Francisco. He had rooms at the st.
Francis of San Francisco, Metropole,
st. Mark, Key Route Inn of Oakland
and all the big apartment houses of
this city.
Once inside the hotel he made
clean haul of the contents of all the
adjoining rooms and is believed to
have had part in a score of bur
glaries. The police say they believe
thousands of dollars of goods have
been stolen by him and his gang
of gentlemen burglars, who, by their
brilliant mental equipment, managed
to gain shelter under fashionable no.
tel roofs.
During his alleged role as gentle
man burglar, he met Mrs. Corine Nc
Gowan, divorced wife of Assembly
man George MCGOWAN of San Fran
cisco, who was playing on the vaude-
vile stage under the name of Corine
Morgan.
She was fascinated by her suitors
polished manners and the couple were
married in Santa Rosa four months
ago, according to statements made by
Goelet today. He said that his wife
was well known in San Francisco
where her mother, Mrs. Louise JOS
ephi, lives at $50 Lyons street.
1t was only month ago, according
to the police and Goelet, that his
wife learned of his burglaries, which
were almost perfectly concealed.
