GIRL s LOVE
ROMANCE
Nancy Anderson Begs For
giveneSS of Sweetheart
and Dies From Gas

''Will you see that I am real dead
before they bury me, as have always
been afraid of being buried alive?"
wrote Nancy Anderson. % years old.
to her sweetheart before she turned
on the gas in her room at 3340 Six
teenth street last night.
Across the way from peaceful old
Mission Dolores they found the little
seamstress this morning. clutching
the letter to Martin Johnson, who
worked by her side in a garment
shop at 81 Fifth street, in one hand.
WHAT WAS GIRLS MOTIvEs
What prompted the girl to end her
life?
Johnson told the police everything
was all right" between the two when
they parted last night at IL o'clock
after visiting at the home of friend
i don't know what was the matter
with Nancy" Johnson said. She was
in good spirits and laughing when 1
left her. She said goodnight, and had
not done anything to indicate she was
respondent
The girl had plenty of money, and
the foreman of the shop where she
was employed said she was an excel
lent needlewoman and steady worker.
Over her cheap room furnishings
there were draped ticklers and paper
brushes, and here and there little cir
cles of confetti that told of the pass
ing Of the carnival of mirth.
The note indicated the course of
love between the girl and her sweet
heart had not been smooth
A handbook containing $125 and a
purse containing $40 in cash were
found among her effects.
She asked that her brother, 1922
Quincy street. Minneapolis, be noti-
fed.
Johnson and Miss Anderson came
from Seattle to San Francisco to-
gether six weeks ago.
Following is the text of her note to
Johnson:
LEAVES SWEETHEART NOTE
Dearest Martin. l just want to
thank you for all the kindness
and consideration you have shown
me. And please forgive me for
all of the trouble / have caused
you. Please try to forget all the
bad things / have done and all
my meanness. 1t was all in me.
and l could not help 1t, 1 suppose
Well, / will not trouble you any
more, and will you see that i am
real dead before they bury me.
as l always have been afraid of
z being buried alive?
One who will trouble no more.
NANCY.
The girl also left a note telling
where her trunk might be located and
directing the disposal of her effects.

not give it to any court in the land.

maintain that the Slingsby baby is a
changeling, and will prove it. We do
object to this county mixing in

case for the district attorneys office,
and THIS is the first positive an
nouncement that has been made from

This admission came after a stormy

SAYS MRS. BLAIN SHOULD TALK
"If Mrs. Blain is sincere in her con-

fear to appear before the grand jury.
She will be placed in the city prison
and held in detinue until she is wanted
by the grand jury tonight. Fraser will
be recalled at the meeting of the in
quisitorial body this evening to give
further details of what he knows"

The district attorney has announced
his intentions of going to the bottom
of the case and endeavor to straighten
out alleged discrepancies in testi-

DROWN
SHR|EKS
DENIAL
Il Swear by My Sainted
Mother | Didn't Do It,"
Walls Husband Slayer

Don't say that word murder don't
say it. I swear by my sainted mother
didn't do it, cried Mrs. Archer c..
Drown in Judge Samuels' police court
in Oakland this morning when the
formal charge that she had murdered
her husband was read.
Sobbing loudly and holding her
arms around the neck of the matron
In order to obey the order of the
court, that she stand up while the
arraignment was being read, Mrs.
Drown was the central figure in a
police court dock full of drunks and
disorderlies.
SHRIEkS AT CHARGE MADE
As the words of arraignment were
heard in the court she clung more
tightly to the neck of Mrs A C. Bax-
ter. the matron, her wisp of a figure
apparently being unable to stand by
itself. AS the words approached the
charge of murder she became more
nervous, and when the unvarnished
term murder" was spoken she,
shrieked:
'Oh, no, it wasn't. Don't say that
word. don't say It,"
But court procedure went on with
out attention to human emotion, and
she finally was led back to the city
prison to wait until next Monday
when her preliminary examination
will be held.
INQUEST BITTER OCCASION
Last nights inquest by the cor
oner's jury was also a bitter occasion
for Mrs. Drown. Through a half open
door she had to listen to Mrs. Marie
Millar, alleged affinity of the dead
husband, tell of her meetings with
Drown during the last few hours of
his life
Smiling at times, Mrs. Millar, in the.
testimony that preceded the charging
of Mrs. Drown with murder by the
jury, told of her meeting with Drowr
in San Francisco and a ride to tn
beach with him. He went to his home
after that and was ehided by his wife
who asked him where he had speni
the evening. according to the testi
mony. The wife's suspicious led to q
violent quarrel according to what
Mrs. Drown told the police. ending in
the killing of Drown several hours
afterward.
SECRET MEETING REVEALED
Except for the secret meeting
Drown and Mrs. Millar and the revela
ton of the friendliness of the two
little new was developed. Neverthe
less. 1T was sufficient to send Mrs
Drown back to prison In state of
collapse.
A new puzzle came to light in the
fact that an unaccounted for dis
charged cartridge was found in the
revolver used by Mrs. Drown. Ne
traceof the bullet was found
browns body or in the room.

Marshall Young in the Hansford build
ing, according to one of the principals
who was present at the hearing today.
Oliver Dibble, attorney for Lieuten-
ant and Mrs Slingsby, yesterday re-
fused to allow Attorney Harold CRU
zan, Mrs. Blain's attorney, to be pres
ent at the hearing. Mrs. Blain made
no serious objection to the ousting of
Cruzan, but took the stand to be
questioned by Dibble.
DibbIe jumped from one phase of
the case to another in seemingly
haphazard way. Occasionally Mrs.
Slingsby shot a question at her for
mer friend.
Mrs. Blain lost her poise. She con-
tradicted some of the important testi-
mony which she gave at the trial of
DIR. w. w. Fraser. Dibble relentlessly
continued with his line of question
ing. forcing Mrs. Blain to reiterate
some of her most contradictory state
ments.
Lieutenant Slingsby was elated
with Dibble's success when he left
the room. Mrs. Slingsby smiled and
said, The real facts are beginning
to appear"

public office virtually means election.
the trusteeship Is already bobbing up
for the 1914 election.
ZACH of ST. John is the only candidate
in the democratic field at this time.
According to an unwritten law In St.
John township. the trusteeship rotates
among the towns of ScherervilIe. Dyer
and ST. John. Frank Scheidt, a Dyer
man. Is the incumbent now, and his
predecessor was a Schererville man.
According to this unwritten law. st.
John Is to produce the next trustee.
Mr.. Gerlach has already been given
the best of assurances from his friends
in the three towns. and has been urg-
ed to declare himself. Thus far he has
declined to do this formally or pub
Iicly. thinking the time to be rather
early. He has, however. spoken to
many of his friends and assured them
that he intendts to be in the race.
Mr. Gerlach has already served the
