Macfarlane has been a member of the SL Louis Ex- position Committee, which was appointed by the Governor more than a year ago, at the time that Commissioner John Bar- rett was here. He was chairman of the Fire Claims Committee, which only a few days ago adjourned sine die, and is a member of the well known Macfarlane family of Honolulu. Morgan are engaged in analyzing sam- ples of the medicine prescribed by Dr. McLaughlin for Martin Bowers to see If there is any arsenic in them. Detectives Taylor and Coleman are still at work on the drug stores ,'n an endeavor to ascertain where Mrs. Bowers or Mrs. Sutton purchased arsenic before that se- cured from J. C. Peterson. Detective Ryan was busy all day subpoenaing wit- nesses for the Coroner's inquest. Neigh- bors and friends of the suspects are being thoroughly questioned and link by link a strong chain of evidence is being formed: District Attorney Byington is engaged in the preparation of a formal complaint. He will not file the document until after the inquest. Chief of Police Wittman is confident that he has enough evidence at hand to secure a conviction. HONOLULU, Sept 2.— Governor Dole has appointed Fred W. Macfarlane as Hawaii's Com- missioner to the Louisiana Pur- Member of Weil-Known Family to Represent Hawaii at St. Louis. TULARE, Sept. 2.— Fire broke out in Seif- ert's cigar store in Vls&lia early this morning, totally destroying It and four neighboring business houses. The loss is estimated at $25,- 000. part of which is covered by insurance. "My husband and I formerly lived in San Francisco and I was there visiting in June. On the evening of the 14th I went to Bowers' home to call, having known them intimately. After I had been there a little while Lervey came in and then went out and got some beer. Mr. Bowers came home about 9 o'clock and did not say anything to Lcrvey, but just looked at him. Mrs. Bowers said to me, 'Introduce your friend.' I did not remember hia name and Lervey spoke it. Bowers said very crossly: *Ye3, I have heard of you before,* but never offered to assault him. "About a week afterward I went, there again, hearing that Bowers was sick. He said he was poisoned and that it was from eating ham which Mrs. Bowers had purchased. Ho vomited and she told me that she vomited, too, and then he said he had terrible pains all over him." cisco on June 14, was questioned to-night by Chief of Police Hunt about the oc- currences at the Bowers home that night. Mrs. McCallum said: Asked regarding the Presidential possi- bilities. Senator Cullom said that there was every reason for regarding President Roosevelt as a certainty. He said: "In my own State there is a bit of agi- tation over the question of who will be the next Governor. When I left Chicago there had been no definite turn in affairs and no one was certain who would be the choice of the Republican party."_ Discussing the canal matter, in so far as it concerns the stand of Colombia, the Senator said that the South American re- public has not yet indicated Just what it purposes to do. If she opposes the canal project he thinks that she will stand in the way of her own progress and will be the greater sufferer. Continuing, he said: "The canal should be built for the ben- efit of ail the nations of the world and our country is willing to undertake its con- struction. I doubt if the United States will permit small obstacles to stand in the way of carrying out the plans for the great work." "These matters have a tendency^ to more or less demoralize international re- lations and sometimes they lead to serious but unnecessary troubles. I have learned through the papers that the attempt to take the Vice Consul's life was made by an Irresponsible person and that the Turkish Government was quick to offer an apology. This should close the inci- dent." United States Senator Shelby M. Cul- lom of Illinois, chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Af- fairs, accompanied by Mrs. Cul- lom. Miss Fisher, the Misses C. and Elea- nor Ridgley and W. Melloy, his private secretary, arrived last evening: from Chi- cago In* a private car and registered at the Palace Hotel. The Senator ha* come West to visit his brother, who Is at pres- ent recovering from a recent accident, and to enjoy a little recreation. One of, the first remarks' made by the Senator after his arrival was that he felt re- lieved over the reports denying the kill- ing of Vice Consul Magelssen of Beirut, and he added: Says That Apology of Turkey Should End Magelssen .

It is expected that the Duncans Mill Lumber Company willdonate a part of the lumber to be used in construction. The Rev. Mr. Parker has already received some financial aid from Episcopalians of the Northern Diocese of California, who have no special Interest in Monte Rio, but who favor the extension of the church influence, and it is believed other lay members will lend their aid when the project becomes known. It is proposed to raise $1000 for the church edifice and later on to erect a neat parsonage. The services will be conduct- ed by a missionary of the diocese of which the Right Rev. William H. More- land is Bishop. Rev. C. A. Doane of this city has a cottage in the neighboring vil- lage of Camp Meeker and held services there during last summer. St. Dorothy's Rest for the care of con- valescent children at Camp Meeker is supported by charitable Episcopalians on a non-sectarian policy as far as the ben- eficiaries are concerned. The land company offered a site for the proposed church edifice at the corner of Middle way and Myrtle lane, while one of the officials who owns a cottage at Monte Rio tendered a cash donation to the building fund. It is expected that many of the cottagers will also contrib- ute to the fund. Charles F. Carr, propri- etor of the Hotel Monte Rio, recently en- tertained Rev. Mr. Parker and other ministers of , the church, who visited Monte Rio, and offered them a substantial cash donation. Episcopalians Plan to Erect Sacred J Edifice and Strong Support j Has Been Given. The Episcopalians are planning to erect a house /jf worship at the new cottage vll- ; lage of Monte Rio Park on the Russian ! River In the mountains of the western j part of Soncma County. The Rev. O. ; Parker, archdeacon of Sacramento, was j a visitor in San Francisco yesterday In j the" interests of the new project. He in- : terviewed the officials of the North Shore Railroad and land companies, where he ¦ received every encouragement. ! Young Whltwell Is a. member of a wealthy family In New York, and no ex- pense was spared to make his life agree- able at college. Mr. Bonestell./ the grand- father, is one of the partners in the firm of Bonestell. Richardson & Co. "The young man is 22 years old and a giant for his age. He was a member qt the varsity crew at Harvard and was prominent in ail athletics. One of the very sad features of the case Is that his father died in New York only two weeks after his disappearance. "I to-day received telegrams from Mrs. Whitwell, who had been informed of the Austin story, and I will co-operate with her at once to send word to her son. She has been greatly distressed over his mys- terious absence and is delighted to feel that he is safe and may soon return to her." The discovery of the whereabouts of W. S. Whltwell, the long missing Harvard University student, who is now enjoying the dubious luxury of cowpunching on a Texas ranch, as was reported by tele- graph from Austin. Tex., in The Call yes- terday, has virtually brought to a plea- surable end the tireless and exasperating- ly ineffectual search made by, the boy's mother and his other relatives since last February. Mrs. Whltwell, the mother, who resides in New York, and L. H. Bonestell of this city, the grandfather of the truant col- legian, had encountered so many ob- stacles and been disappointed so frequent- ly In their efforts to trace the young man, that there seemed not the remotest chance of success. Friends of the family in the Southwest rendered them every possible assistance and. a few had even seen "Scolly" Whltwell in Texas some months ago, but beyond the accumulation of interesting but useless scraps of infor- mation, their work was profitless. When the news of the location of Whit- well on a ranch thirty miles from San Antonio appeared yesterday, Mr. Bone- Btell Immediately made arrangements to place himself in communication with his grandson. Telegrams were sent to Aus- tin and doubtless a courier is now on hla way to the place where Whitwell is em- ployed as a cowboy. "This is the flrst satisfactory news we have had in seven months," said Mr. Bonestell yesterday. Since February 28 we have searched over half the continent for the boy. He disappeared from, Cam- bridge on that date and we have not had a word from him since. Some time pre- viously he had spent a year in Germany and he said he would make that time up at 'Harvard by hard study. I am con- vinced that he studied too bard and the impulse seized him to get away from the worry of his school work. "One of his classmates saw him in New York a few days after he left college, and said he thought the boy might go to Texas. The story of his disappearance was later, read by Thomas Blodgett at Waco, and he wrote to Mrs. Whitwell. telling her that he believed he had seen my grandson there. ] "I was in New York at the time and on my way out here 1 stopped at Waco and heard that the boy was on the Co- burn ranch near Sin Antonio. I could not locate him there, however, and was told afterward that he had come to CaJl- fornia. This Call dispatch would seem to substantiate that statement, for it says that three weeks ago be returned to Texas. :' - WhitweH's/ Relative in This City Sends Him Telegram.

OF AGE. J Arsenic is not easily soluble, but Pro- fessor Morgan says that when a man dies from arsenical poison and a consid- erable quantity remains in the victim's stomach It is evidence that the dose must ha\*e been a large one. It is the dissolved arsenic circulating with the blood that does the damage. Professor3 Green and Professor Green and Chemist Morgan, his assistant, have completed their analy- sis of the contents of the dead man's stomach. They found two and a fraction grains of free arsenic of the common white crystal variety. There were no traces of other poisons. Two grains of arsenic is said to be a fatal dose, v COMPLETE ANALYSIS. John Schnoor of 366 Clementina street came forward with the statement yester- day that on the morning after the death of. the bridge builder he started for the corner grocery at 5:30 o'clocn and saw Mrs. Bowers, clad in her night clothes, letting Lervey out of the door. As soon as the latter observed that he was seen he ran swiftly around the corner and up Fifth street. This Is evidence that Lervey and Mrs. Bowers both lied In their pre- vious statements to the police that they sat up all night. Mrs. Magnan of 368 Clementina street Is said to have seen the same occurrence. Attorney Vaughn of Portland, Or., who Is directing the defense, sa>'3 that he is certain that his clients did not commit the murder and that the truth will come out during the progress of the prospec- tive trial. He has told the women not to talk and they refuse to answer any more questions. Lervey when seen yesterday denied that he had had trouble with Bowers when the latter returned from Mare Island the night before he was taken 111. He said they were introduced and talked together pleasantly. Lervey has become defiant and declines to answer vital ques- tions. £ Chief of Police Hunt of Seattle has been requested by the local authorities to set a comprehensive statement from Mrs. Dcedie McCallum of that city, who was a close friend of Mrs. Bowers.Xand who was present in the sick room on various occasions. Cunningham will be interrogated again severely as soon as possible. It Is ar- gued, now the facts in the case have be- come known, that Cunningham as the consort of Mrs. Sutton and the constant attendant on the dying bridge builder, ought to know as much of the real cir- cumstances of the case as Patrick Ler- vey, or O'Leary, the lover of Mrs! Bow- ers. The police theory is that Mrs. Sut- ton was to get a share of the $2S00 bank account for engineering the affair and that even if Cunningham did not know that murder was being committed, he would at least be cognizant of the fact that his companion was expected to shortly better her condition financially. Cunningham will have an opportunity to tell his story under oath at the Coroner's inquest at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. WILL HAVE TO EXPLAIN. A police officer saw him sitting on tfte wall which surrounds Portsmouth square yesterday afternoon watching for some one to come from the Hall of Justice, where Mrs. Sutton is imprisoned. It is said that he was attempting to communi- cate with the woman through some third person who is not at present known to the authorities. He was visibly In a state of alarm last night and refused to talk of the Bowers murder. He was formerly a waiter in the Olympia, where Mrs. Sut- ton was a constant visitor. She was a notorious character, but was never ar- rsted for vagrancy, so says Police Of- ficer Callandun, whose beat has long be-en on the lower portion of Eddy street, be- cause the woman declared that she main- tained a lodging-house and it would have been hard to prove a case against her. John Cunningham was just as notoriousfy known as her companion. But to the po- lice he represented that he did not know much of her and that his sole intttrest in visiting 320 Clementina street was to as- sist the sick man. Nothing was said about this watch un- til the fact that it was missing was dis- covered by a Call representative and re- ported to the police. Detective Ryan se- cured it from Cunningham late Tuesday night. And now the authorities are ask- ing why John Cunningham attempted to show that he was the closest friend of the murdered bridge builder instead of ad- mitting his relations with the woman who has been declared to have been the person who purchased the arsenic at As- kenasy's drug store. When confronted with \he statement that he had lived in Mrs. Button's . apartments Cunningham replied that the woman was simply his landlady, which is not deemed likely by the police. / ACTIONS ABE SUSPICIONS. ItIs now learned that he has been liv- ing in Mrs. Button's apartments for more than a year and is eaid by fellow habitues of the tenderloin to be her con- sort. The people who live near the Bow- ers house on Clementina street say that Cunningham never visited the place until the bridge builder was on his death bed and then in company with Mrs. Sutton. He gavf\ much assistance in the care of Bower3. When the latter was dead Cun- ningham, In the role of the grief-stricken friend, took the murdered man's $140 gold watch and chain. The story is that Mrs. Bowers wanted to reward the waiter for al! his trouble. John Cunningham, a w/iiter In the Oberon music hal!, has suddenly become one of the most prominent figures in the sensational Bowers murder mystery- His misrepresentations of hla position in the horrible affair in his statements to the police authorities have become known. Last night the officers were debating the advisability of taking him into custody. He will be subpenaed at any rate and kept under the order of the court. He is openly accused by the police of know- ing more than he has told. Mrs. Bowers stated to the Chief of Po- lice immediately after her arrest that the persons who gave food to the pois- oned bridge builder were herself, Harry Bowers arS his wife. Mrs. Sutton and John Cunningham. All of them were sub- jected to a severe examination and their stories were kept for record. John Cunningham asserted that he had been a lifelong friend of Martin Bowers, that he had but little acquaintance with the women and that his frequent visits to 370 Clementina street were for the pur- pose of nursing the sick man. He said that he had visited the grocery where the ham was bought for the pur- pose of discovering if there was anything the matter with the rest of the meat on the same bone. He visited the house practically every day and did all he could to help. New Features Are Apparent In Bowers Murder^ Mystery.

chase Exposition. Macfarlanehas been a member of the SL Louis Ex-position Committee, which was appointedby the Governor more than a year ago, atthe time that Commissioner John Bar-

rett was here. He was chairman of theFire Claims Committee, which only a fewdays ago adjourned sine die, and is amember of the well known Macfarlanefamily of Honolulu.

Morgan are engaged in analyzing sam-ples of the medicine prescribed by Dr.McLaughlin for Martin Bowers to see Ifthere is any arsenic in them.

Detectives Taylor and Coleman are stillat work on the drug stores ,'n an endeavorto ascertain where Mrs. Bowers or Mrs.Sutton purchased arsenic before that se-cured from J. C. Peterson. DetectiveRyan was busy all day subpoenaing wit-nesses for the Coroner's inquest. Neigh-bors and friends of the suspects are beingthoroughly questioned and link by link astrong chain of evidence is being formed:

District Attorney Byington is engagedin the preparation of a formal complaint.He will not file the document until afterthe inquest. Chief of Police Wittman isconfident that he has enough evidence athand to secure a conviction.

HONOLULU, Sept 2.—GovernorDole has appointed Fred W.Macfarlane as Hawaii's Com-missioner to the Louisiana Pur-

Member of Weil-KnownFamily to Represent

Hawaii at St. Louis.

TULARE, Sept. 2.—Fire broke out in Seif-ert's cigar store in Vls&lia early this morning,totally destroying It and four neighboringbusiness houses. The loss is estimated at $25,-000. part of which is covered by insurance.

"My husband and Iformerly lived inSan Francisco and Iwas there visitingin June. On the evening of the 14th Iwent to Bowers' home to call, havingknown them intimately. After Ihadbeen there a little while Lervey came inand then went out and got some beer.Mr. Bowers came home about 9 o'clockand did not say anything to Lcrvey, butjust looked at him. Mrs. Bowers saidto me, 'Introduce your friend.' Idid notremember hia name and Lervey spoke it.Bowers said very crossly: *Ye3, Ihaveheard of you before,* but never offeredto assault him.

"About a week afterward Iwent, thereagain, hearing that Bowers was sick. Hesaid he was poisoned and that it wasfrom eating ham which Mrs. Bowers hadpurchased. Ho vomited and she told methat she vomited, too, and then he saidhe had terrible pains all over him."

cisco on June 14, was questioned to-nightby Chief of Police Hunt about the oc-currences at the Bowers home that night.Mrs. McCallum said:

Asked regarding the Presidential possi-bilities. Senator Cullom said that therewas every reason for regarding PresidentRoosevelt as a certainty. He said:

"Inmy own State there is a bit of agi-

tation over the question of who will bethe next Governor. When Ileft Chicagothere had been no definite turn in affairsand no one was certain who would be thechoice of the Republican party."_

Discussing the canal matter, in so faras it concerns the stand of Colombia, theSenator said that the South American re-public has not yet indicated Just what itpurposes to do. Ifshe opposes the canalproject he thinks that she will stand inthe way of her own progress and will bethe greater sufferer. Continuing, he said:

"The canal should be built for the ben-efit of ail the nations of the world and ourcountry is willingto undertake its con-struction. Idoubt if the United Stateswill permit small obstacles to stand inthe way of carrying out the plans for thegreat work."

"These matters have a tendency^ tomore or less demoralize international re-lations and sometimes they lead to seriousbut unnecessary troubles. Ihave learnedthrough the papers that the attempt totake the Vice Consul's life was made byan Irresponsible person and that theTurkish Government was quick to offeran apology. This should close the inci-dent."

United States Senator Shelby M. Cul-lom of Illinois, chairman of theSenate Committee on Foreign Af-fairs, accompanied by Mrs. Cul-lom. Miss Fisher, the Misses C. and Elea-nor Ridgley and W. Melloy, his privatesecretary, arrived last evening: from Chi-cago In*a private car and registered atthe Palace Hotel. The Senator ha* comeWest to visit his brother, who Is at pres-ent recovering from a recent accident,and to enjoy a little recreation. One of,

the first remarks' made by the Senatorafter his arrival was that he felt re-lieved over the reports denying the kill-ing of Vice Consul Magelssen of Beirut,

and he added:

LABOR AND ADMISSION DAYS.

It is expected that the Duncans MillLumber Company willdonate a part of thelumber to be used in construction. TheRev. Mr. Parker has already receivedsome financial aid from Episcopalians ofthe Northern Diocese of California, whohave no special Interest in Monte Rio,

but who favor the extension of the churchinfluence, and it is believed other laymembers will lend their aid when theproject becomes known.It is proposed to raise $1000 for the

church edifice and later on to erect a neatparsonage. The services will be conduct-ed by a missionary of the diocese ofwhich the Right Rev. William H. More-land is Bishop. Rev. C. A. Doane of thiscity has a cottage in the neighboring vil-lage of Camp Meeker and held servicesthere during last summer.

St. Dorothy's Rest for the care of con-valescent children at Camp Meeker issupported by charitable Episcopalians ona non-sectarian policy as far as the ben-eficiaries are concerned.

The land company offered a site for theproposed church edifice at the corner ofMiddle way and Myrtle lane, while oneof the officials who owns a cottage atMonte Rio tendered a cash donation tothe building fund. It is expected thatmany of the cottagers will also contrib-ute to the fund. Charles F. Carr, propri-

etor of the Hotel Monte Rio, recently en-tertained Rev. Mr. Parker and otherministers of,the church, who visitedMonte Rio, and offered them a substantialcash donation.

Episcopalians Plan to Erect Sacred J

Edifice and Strong Support jHas Been Given.

The Episcopalians are planning to erect •

a house /jfworship at the new cottage vll-;lage of Monte Rio Park on the Russian !River In the mountains of the western jpart of Soncma County. The Rev. O. ;Parker, archdeacon of Sacramento, was ja visitor in San Francisco yesterday In jthe" interests of the new project. He in- :

terviewed the officials of the North Shore •Railroad and land companies, where he ¦

received every encouragement. !

Young Whltwell Is a. member of awealthy family In New York, and no ex-pense was spared to make his life agree-able at college. Mr. Bonestell./ the grand-father, is one of the partners in the firmof Bonestell. Richardson & Co.

"The young man is 22 years old and agiant for his age. He was a member qtthe varsity crew at Harvard and wasprominent in ail athletics. One of thevery sad features of the case Is that hisfather died in New York only two weeksafter his disappearance."Ito-day received telegrams from Mrs.

Whitwell, who had been informed of theAustin story, and Iwill co-operate withher at once to send word to her son. Shehas been greatly distressed over his mys-

terious absence and is delighted to feelthat he is safe and may soon return toher."

The discovery of the whereabouts of W.S. Whltwell, the long missing HarvardUniversity student, who is now enjoying

the dubious luxury of cowpunching on aTexas ranch, as was reported by tele-graph from Austin. Tex., in The Call yes-terday, has virtually brought to a plea-

surable end the tireless and exasperating-ly ineffectual search made by, the boy's

mother and his other relatives since lastFebruary.

Mrs. Whltwell, the mother, who residesin New York, and L.H.Bonestell of thiscity, the grandfather of the truant col-legian, had encountered so many ob-stacles and been disappointed so frequent-lyIn their efforts to trace the young man,that there seemed not the remotest

chance of success. Friends of the familyin the Southwest rendered them everypossible assistance and. a few had evenseen "Scolly" Whltwell in Texas somemonths ago, but beyond the accumulationof interesting but useless scraps of infor-mation, their work was profitless.

When the news of the location of Whit-well on a ranch thirty miles from SanAntonio appeared yesterday, Mr. Bone-Btell Immediately made arrangements toplace himself in communication with hisgrandson. Telegrams were sent to Aus-tin and doubtless a courier is now on hlaway to the place where Whitwell is em-ployed as a cowboy.

"This is the flrst satisfactory news wehave had in seven months," said Mr.Bonestell yesterday. Since February 28we have searched over half the continentfor the boy. He disappeared from, Cam-bridge on that date and we have not hada word from him since. Some time pre-viously he had spent a year in Germany

and he said he would make that time upat 'Harvard by hard study. Iam con-vinced that he studied too bard and theimpulse seized him to get away from theworry of his school work.

"One of his classmates saw him in NewYork a few days after he left college, andsaid he thought the boy might go toTexas. The story of his disappearance

was later, read by Thomas Blodgett atWaco, and he wrote to Mrs. Whitwell.telling her that he believed he had seenmy grandson there. ]"Iwas in New York at the time and

on my way out here 1 stopped at Wacoand heard that the boy was on the Co-burn ranch near Sin Antonio. Icouldnot locate him there, however, and wastold afterward that he had come to CaJl-fornia. This Call dispatch would seem tosubstantiate that statement, for it saysthat three weeks ago be returned toTexas. :'

Arsenic is not easily soluble, but Pro-fessor Morgan says that when a mandies from arsenical poison and a consid-erable quantity remains in the victim'sstomach Itis evidence that the dose mustha\*e been a large one. Itis the dissolvedarsenic circulating with the blood thatdoes the damage. Professor3 Green and

Professor Green and Chemist Morgan,his assistant, have completed their analy-sis of the contents of the dead man'sstomach. They found two and a fractiongrains of free arsenic of the commonwhite crystal variety. There were notraces of other poisons. Two grains ofarsenic is said to be a fatal dose, v

COMPLETE ANALYSIS.

John Schnoor of 366 Clementina streetcame forward with the statement yester-day that on the morning after the deathof. the bridge builder he started for thecorner grocery at 5:30 o'clocn and sawMrs. Bowers, clad in her night clothes,letting Lervey out of the door. As soonas the latter observed that he was seenhe ran swiftly around the corner and upFifthstreet. This Is evidence that Lerveyand Mrs. Bowers both lied In their pre-vious statements to the police that theysat up all night. Mrs. Magnan of 368Clementina street Is said to have seen thesame occurrence.

Attorney Vaughn of Portland, Or., whoIs directing the defense, sa>'3 that he iscertain that his clients did not committhe murder and that the truth will comeout during the progress of the prospec-tive trial. He has told the women not totalk and they refuse to answer anymore questions.

Lervey when seen yesterday deniedthat he had had trouble with Bowerswhen the latter returned from MareIsland the night before he was taken 111.He said they were introduced and talkedtogether pleasantly. Lervey has becomedefiant and declines to answer vital ques-tions. £Chief of Police Hunt of Seattle has beenrequested by the local authorities to seta comprehensive statement from Mrs.Dcedie McCallum of that city, who was aclose friend of Mrs. Bowers.Xand whowas present in the sick room on variousoccasions.

Cunningham will be interrogated againseverely as soon as possible. It Is ar-gued, now the facts in the case have be-come known, that Cunningham as theconsort of Mrs. Sutton and the constantattendant on the dying bridge builder,ought to know as much of the real cir-cumstances of the case as Patrick Ler-vey, or O'Leary, the lover of Mrs! Bow-ers. The police theory is that Mrs. Sut-ton was to get a share of the $2S00 bankaccount for engineering the affair andthat even if Cunningham did not knowthat murder was being committed, hewould at least be cognizant of the factthat his companion was expected toshortly better her condition financially.Cunningham will have an opportunity to

tell his story under oath at the Coroner'sinquest at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning.

WILL HAVE TO EXPLAIN.

A police officer saw him sitting on tftewall which surrounds Portsmouth squareyesterday afternoon watching for someone to come from the Hall of Justice,where Mrs. Sutton is imprisoned. It issaid that he was attempting to communi-cate with the woman through some thirdperson who is not at present known tothe authorities. He was visibly Ina stateof alarm last night and refused to talkof the Bowers murder. He was formerly

a waiter in the Olympia, where Mrs. Sut-ton was a constant visitor. She was anotorious character, but was never ar-rsted for vagrancy, so says Police Of-ficer Callandun, whose beat has long be-enon the lower portion of Eddy street, be-cause the woman declared that she main-tained a lodging-house and it would havebeen hard to prove a case against her.John Cunningham was just as notoriousfy

known as her companion. But to the po-lice he represented that he did not knowmuch of her and that his sole intttrest invisiting 320 Clementina street was to as-sist the sick man.

Nothing was said about this watch un-til the fact that it was missing was dis-covered by a Call representative and re-ported to the police. Detective Ryan se-cured it from Cunningham late Tuesdaynight. And now the authorities are ask-ing why John Cunningham attempted toshow that he was the closest friend ofthe murdered bridge builder instead of ad-mitting his relations with the womanwho has been declared to have been theperson who purchased the arsenic at As-kenasy's drug store. When confrontedwith \he statement that he had lived inMrs. Button's . apartments Cunninghamreplied that the woman was simply hislandlady, which is not deemed likely by

the police. /

ACTIONS ABE SUSPICIONS.

ItIs now learned that he has been liv-ing in Mrs. Button's apartments for morethan a year and is eaid by fellowhabitues of the tenderloin to be her con-sort. The people who live near the Bow-ers house on Clementina street say thatCunningham never visited the place untilthe bridge builder was on his death bedand then in company with Mrs. Sutton.He gavf\ much assistance in the care ofBower3. When the latter was dead Cun-ningham, In the role of the grief-strickenfriend, took the murdered man's $140 goldwatch and chain. The story is that Mrs.Bowers wanted to reward the waiter foral! his trouble.

John Cunningham, a w/iiter In theOberon music hal!, has suddenly becomeone of the most prominent figures in thesensational Bowers murder mystery- Hismisrepresentations of hla position in thehorrible affair in his statements to thepolice authorities have become known.

Last night the officers were debating theadvisability of taking him into custody.

He will be subpenaed at any rate andkept under the order of the court. Heis openly accused by the police of know-ing more than he has told.

Mrs. Bowers stated to the Chief of Po-lice immediately after her arrest thatthe persons who gave food to the pois-oned bridge builder were herself, HarryBowers arS his wife. Mrs. Sutton andJohn Cunningham. All of them were sub-jected to a severe examination and theirstories were kept for record.

John Cunningham asserted that he hadbeen a lifelong friend of Martin Bowers,that he had but little acquaintance withthe women and that his frequent visitsto 370 Clementina street were for the pur-pose of nursing the sick man. He saidthat he had visited the grocerywhere the ham was bought for the pur-pose of discovering if there was anythingthe matter with the rest of the meat onthe same bone. He visited the housepractically every day and did all he couldto help.
