PASSING OF ONCE
FAMOUS DETECTIVE
Death Calls Aged Man Who De-
layed the Duel Between
Terry and BrOderick

H. II. Ellis, former chief of police
and one of the most prominent figures
in the early days of this city died at
the Hahnemann hospital in this city
yesterday morning at the advanced
age of more than so years. He had
been ailing for some time. but few of
his friends knew that death was 50
near. Old age Is given as the cause.
In the early days of the police de-
partment Ellis was a partner of the
late Isaiah w. Lees and was looked
upon as the peer of Lees as a detective.
They did great work together up TO
1876. when Ellis was elected chief of
police, succeeding Chief Cockerill. He
was again elected in 1877 and retired
after completing that term.
1t was Ellis and Lees who delayed
the famous duel between Judge David
S. Terry and Senator David Broderick.
The duelists were taken by the two de-
tectives before Judge Coon and were
released They were too late to stop
the duel the following day, which end
ed in Broderick's death.
Warrants were issued for the arrest
of Terry in connection with Broderick' 5
death and Ellis and Lees went to his
home in stockton to serve them. When
they were within 100 feet of the house
Terry and three men appeared at a
window, armed with shotguns. and
threatened to shoot if the detectives
advanced farther.
Terry told them that he could not be
arrested in that county. but Ellis re-
piled that the warrants had been in
dorsed and must be served. After a
parley Terry promised faithfully to
surrender himself in Oakland four
days later and he carried out his prom
ise. He got a change of venue to
Marin county and was acquitted.
Ellis was also a member Of the Wig
lance committee and took an active
part in its doings- He has a son in the
hay and grain business in this city
and a nephew, Edward Byram, retired
detective, who lives at 2519 Cough
