GIRL ON ffRRYBOAI

Especial Dispatch TO The Call


Especial Dispatch TO The Call
OAKLAND. Jan. 2O.-Miss Harriet
Thompson. Is years old. living at 1920
Bay street. Alameda. daughter of Frank
Thompson. a San Francisco capitalist,
and granddaughter of the late Cap
tain R. R. Thompson. an Alameda mill
lionaire, was found in a hysteriaI con-
dition at the Oakland mole early this
evening. where she had been aban-
doned. she says. by strange young
man. who piled her with drinks and
tried to rob her.
She had on her wrists and fingers
jewels valued at fully $4,000. which the
girl told the police were the objects
of the young strangers attentions.
Miss Thompson said that she had
been to the St Francis hotel to visit
her father and her mother. the latter
of whom is reported to be dangerously
ILL., She took a ferry boat from San
Francisco on the Oakland mole run. she
says. about $50 o'clock On the boat
she was accosted by the young man,
who conversed a while and finally sug
gested that they go to the dining room
for few moments.
Just what refreshments the girl par
took of in the lower part of the vessel
is not clear from her incoherent state
rnent First she said that she had
mixed liquors and then asserted that
she had taken only soft drinks"
which affected her as would drugs On
the attempted robbery she is not more
precise, but maintains that the COM
panion tried to get possession of her
jewelry.
The girl said that she was taken
violently i'll while the young man was
with her. but did not lose conscious
ness. and that she was able to resist
when the stranger tried to remove her
Jewels. Her outcries disconnected the
stranger and he left her abruptly.
Miss Thompson made her way TO the
train and got aboard the Oakland local
instead of the Southern Pacific horse
shoe train. which would have taken
her to Alameda. She was so i'll that
she did not leave the train at Broad
way. as an Alameda passenger would
have done. but rode clear to the end of
the line at Melrose. She stiil kept on
the train and returned to the mole.
The train crew notified the police and
the girl was taken to the receiving
hospital Dr. ". II. Irwin. who at
tended her. pronounced her "hysteri-
cal" She was kept at the hospital for
a time, but was finally permitted TO
go home with G. z. Thompson. her
uncle, who had been summoned to the
hospital He said that the girl was
frequently hysterical. and might have
been overcome by such an experience as
she related in her broken manner.
Miss Thompsons father was one Of
the heirs of Captain R. R. Thompson.

achieved notoriety recently when some
woman was said to have obtained a

would be democratic caucus at 4:S0

democrat was in his place. Motions to

Lloyd's resignation was read. where

point of order that no one was author

planned that he had had no knowledge

nation at that time The minority,
he added, had not purposely taken ad-

members. He said it was manifestly
fair that he should move to adjourn,
and in doing so he received unanimous
support, and the house at sos o'clock
