FULLER WILL NOT TELL
WHERE MRS. BOVINE IS
Newspaper Man Who Pursued
Alleged EIopers Arrives at
San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 1.-THE
Pacific Mail steamship Persia arrived
here yesterday from the orient with Hec-
tor Fuller, war correspondent, aboard He
is the man who was sent around the
globe with a promise of $4,000 if he
would separate Jordan L.. Mott, Sd. OF
New York. and Mrs. Walter Bovine of
Flushing, l.. l., who, as alleged, eloped
from New York in May last on the East
Indian tramp steamer Indrado.
Another Hector Fuller got here from
Asia week ago and he was mistaken
for the pursuer of Mott.
Meantime one of the objects of that
pursuit, Mott himself. arrived back in
New York a month ago.
The mystery still existing in the case is
as to the whereabouts of Mrs. Bovine. On
that point Hector Fuller yesterday re-
fused to throw any light.
when l undertook this work. said he,

should avoid publicity. | have been a
newspaper man for many years have re-
ported wars and Travelled about the world
eight nine times.
Il was given the opportunity to revisit

the condition that l would not talk. ]
have kept my word, and although reams
VI copy nave DeeH out concerning
my trip and it's object | have never con-
tributed one word to the discussion
Last Heard of in China.
The last heard from Mrs. Bovine was in
China. when Mott was there, and it was
then said the pair would settle some
where in the interior of the fiowery
kingdom.
Young Mott has d wife. whom he mar
ried at South Braintree. Mass, in May.
1901, when her father, Prof. Pitkn, was
in the faculty of Thayer Academy.
Mrs. Frances Hewitt Bovine was once
a chorus girl at the Tivoli in San Fran
cisco. She went to New York under the
stage name of Frances Gibson.
The Mott-BoWne elopement was from
New York, on May Is. The pair shipped
as steward and stewardess. Mott s
father put Fuller on the trail and Fuller,
starting from London, tried to overtake
the pair at Gibraltar, but his train was
held up in Spain by railroad strike.
He then took ship at Gibraltar and al
most caught up at Port Said. He then
planned to make a catch at Colombo,
|Ceylon, but, so the story goes, did not
come up with the objects of his pursuit
until all arrived at Shanghai, China,
where Mott is said to have told Fuller
to go back to New York and rest up.
Hector Fuller mentioned in the above
dispatch, was formerly We'll known
newspaper man of this city.
