WR0NGED WOMAN
SEEKS DEATH
Having Killed Lover Tried
Suicide.

New York, Aug 2f7-With one of her
hatpins as weapon, Miss Katie
Fretsch, the young woman who killed
Frank Mescheer Wednesday night in
the lower section of the city, made a
desperate attempt to end her life yes
terday morning in the office of Captain
Lewis W. Rawlings, of the Third Pre-
cinct Police Station The girls move
ments did not escape the keen percep-
ton of those around her, and the hand
that was about to bury the sharp
pointed instrument in her breast was
soon pinioned to her side.
The arraignment of Miss Fretsch be
for Judge A. M. Aucoin, of the Second
City Criminal Court, at 1890 O'Clock
Wednesday morning furnished a most
dramatic scene That Miss Fresteh
courts death, and is anxious to join the
man she killed in the realm beyond,
was very apparent in both her manner
and speech
MISS t'restch was brought to the Sec
and City Criminal Court for arraign-
ment this morning by Deputy Sheriff
Edward Corcoran, who brought the
girl prisoner to court in a roundabout
way taking her through the Third Pre-
clnct Station and across the yard to
he office of Judge Aucoin. Owing
10 the girls nervous state, the request
IF her attorney, Mr.. Loyis Charbonnet,
to arraigne the prisoner in the judge $
private office was agreed to by Judge
Aucoin.
Aunt Was By Her Side.
Throughout the trying ordeal, Mrs.
II. l.. Hicks, the girls aunt remained
by the side of the prisoner. Duricg
the brief interval, from the time the
prisoner was ushered into the Judge :
private office until the arraignment was
lad, Judge Aucoin's Office presented a
desolate scene. The girl kept up a
continuous wall, repeating over ana
over again her anxiety to see the man
she had slain, and bemoaning his
death.
Let me look at him once more.
walled the girl, "and then let me die. !
do not want to live to be the mother Of
a fatherless child"
1t is feared that the excitement and
nervous strain under which the girl is
laboring may result fatally since EeI
present delicate condition, it is beliey-
ed, will not permit of a too violent all
attack on her constitution.
Hardly had her attorney, Mr.. Char
bonnet, pleaded not guilty for his eli
ant when the girl raised her eyes
heavenward, and with her arms ex-
tended, exclaimed: He refused to
marry me, my God, and told me he in
tended marrying that other girl" This
| bought seemed to have robbed her OF
| her faculties and so weakened her as
! 20 cause her muscles to relax, and size
was about to sink to her knees when
| she was supported by her aunt ana
| one of the deputy sheriffs. She <Ilan
apsed into a state of semi-conscious-
| ness. RestOratives were applied ana
| soon symptoms of returning conscious
ness greeted the eyes of the anxious
| persons around her.

based on information received at first

the great discovery. and is here re-
counted in the language of the mar
rator:
Shortly after the great earthquake
in tae early part of the summer OF
1888. one Of the followers of Padre
Junipero Sierra who was first TO spread
the Catholic faith in California whel
it was a terra incognita. started from
the Mission Of Monterey with a small
party in an open sailboat to make the
/ voyage to the Mission Dolores, whicn
is one OF the old landmarks of the
San Francisco of today. 1t was a slow
and hazardous trip at the best, BY
either land or sea, in those pioneer
days, and was fraught with many dan
gers.

voyagers was a young Mexican nam
