TINES OyNAM|TER
Detectives Say They Expect Ar
rest of Ringleader of Trio
Who Bought Explosive.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. S,--Evidence
which local detectives regard as of the
most convincing character came to
light yesterday, showing that man
answering almost perfectly the descrip-
ton of one of the Los Angeles Times
dynamite suspects, was a guest from
last Tuesday until Thursday afternoon
at Burke's Sanitarium, near Santa
Rosa.
Not only the mans description, but
his peculiar conduct and the sudden
ness of his departure, are considered
by the investigators as strongly con-
firming the belief that he was none
other than the fugitive variously known
as j. b. Brice Brison, F. A. Perry and
J. b. Leonard, who is thought to have
been the ringleader of the trio that
purchased the 800 pounds Of dynamite
at Giant. Cal.
The detectives expressed themselves
as confident of this mans early ap-
prehension.

1.-THE house Mrs. Leeds bought for us

you think was going to put 81 yard
carpets on the floors? 1 guess n0tl"
This was all the reply Mrs. ~. T.

recently eyicted from their he ldsome
Montclair home at the instance of her
stepdaughter, Mrs. W. B. Leeds, widow
of the multi-Inillionaire tin-plate king
would make today regarding tales of
her extravagances that came out of
New York
1t was asserted that Mrs. Stewart
paid. SIS yard for carpet for the serv-
ants quarters, and $50 a yard for floor
covering for other parts of the house.
Bills Aggregated s33,261.
An account with w. & J. Sloane, it
is said, shows that $1S,261 was expend-
ed mainly for carpets and furnishings.
b. Altman q Co.'S bill was somewhat
over $6,000 and r. j. Horner & Co. pre-
sented to Mrs. Leeds a bill for more
than $4,000 To these firms Mrs Leeds
had given her order to honor purchases
by Mrs. Stewart, but when the bills for
carpets, paintings, tapestry, cut glass,
silver, etc, were presented Mrs. Leeds
thought 1t time to curtail.
On one bill, with the regularity of a
clock tick, there appeared dress,
suit, dress and then another suit.
Just how many there were may he
inferred from the fact that when Mrs.
Stewart and her daughter. Ferene, re-
ceived their clothes at the Montclair
Hotel it took eleven trunks, four boxes
and two cases to carry the clothing.
One box was filled with shoes, another
carried parasols. Besides there were
nine boxes of furs.
Mrs. Stewart is now living at the
Hotel Alvord, East Orange
Chief Justice Gummere today denied
the application made by Frederick
Smith asking that writ of certiorar
to review the court proceedings brought
by Mrs Annie Leeds in the Orange
District Court, as result of which
Mrs. w C. Stewart was evicted from
