NO DESIRE TO TRY
MATRIMONY AGAIN
Mrs. SartOri Declares That One
Marriage Venture Was Quite
Sufficient for Her
Asserts That Watson, the Sui
eide, Did Her and Her
Friends Injustice

I'm not divorced. and told him
had tried marriage once and found it
failure" said Mrs. Wilhelmina Sar-
tori yesterday in speaking of William
W. Watson who had killed himself in
her apartments at So Fillmore street
the day before.
Mrs Sartori insists that she does not
go out with men unless there is a
third person present
MFR. Watson has done Mr.. Bergers
and Mr.. O'Kane and myself great in
Justice in the letter which was found
on him. The two gentlemen are merely
acquaintances and there was no ground
for Watsons remark. He must have
been out of his head when he wrote
wsat he did
THEY WERE ONLY FRIENDS
Mrs. Sartori says she and Watson
were just friends. but it is known that
he was madly infatuated with her and
insanely jealous. Fully two months
ago ne spoke to DR.. and Mrs. Best,
with whom he resided at Fillmore and
Haight streets, of being jealous of
lumberman. undoubtedly referring TO
Bergers He also was in the habit of
looking in at a downtown cafe to see
whether or not Mrs. Sartori was lunch
ing with man. Mrs. Sartori denied
ever having been out TO Cairns with
either Bergers or OKane, and said
Watson must have jumped at con-
clusions.
WATSON WAS 4 DREAMER
Watson was a dreamer and liked
TO tell big yarns" said DIR. Best. He
lived with us three gears and was not
a person one would consider likely to
take his own life. l don't think he
intended to Kill Mrs. Sartori. He prob
ably wanted to have her say that she
would marry him as soon as she was
divorced. When she saw the pistol
and fed he probably lost all hope and
turned the weapon on himself.
The man had been infatuated with
Mrs. Sartorf for about six months. but
during the last six weeks he had be-
come respondent. He formerly called
every night, but she finally allowed him
only two nights week. He tried to
borrow a pistol from Mr.. Scott Satur-
day. but did not succeed. All Sunday
afternoon he sat at my desk writing.
That is probably when he wrote the
letter which was found on him.
Watson was proud and liked TO make
it appear that lie had money. AL
though in his letter he willed Mrs.
Sartori two life insurance policies and
$50, 600 in Spanish gold supposed TO be
buried in Manila. neither the Bests nor
Mrs. Sartori believe he left any prop
eFty.
