Very few of the ladles wore caps, and a good doal of the time of those who made daring plunges was consumed in gathering up wild slrauds of hair Into hastily plnued colls. Some very graceful divers made running leaps from the spring board aud came down with their heels doubled over toward their backs just like men, sin came up puffing and scrambling to set their draggled hair out of their mouths and eyes.

The Olymplo Club professor does not wear a hang on the street, but be does in the tank, and wltn the exception of a mustache be wears very little eise. His trunks can hardly be called trunks at all valises would be nearer tbe truth. One of these days his salary may be raised so that he can afford a man's pair.

did as ordered and carried two glasses of whisky back to the room. During the hears between 0 o'clock, when O'Neil and Mrs. Griffes walked Into the ssloon and about 1 :80 o'clock, when she was found dead, Davis served them sii times with whisky. O'Neil now refuses to talk and states that was too drunk to remember what transpired. What occurred in the room, to far known, Is best told by Davis, the saloon-kesper.

"I went In there," be says, "In answer a call at the bar and did not notice par. ticularly who the people were. When I returned with the drinks the woman spoke me, asking whether I did not know her. you remember met' aha said. I'm the girl that Colonel Bates' wife Introduced to you as Kittle, and they told you that they called me Kittens.

"Then I remembered her. She used to come In there occasionally some two or three months ago with a man and his wife who lived In Alameda. I knew the man as Colonel Bates. I never kuew any of them more than to speak to them when they came This man O'Neil I know I bad never street and started back toward tbe water front, walking slowly all the time. Ferris followed him back to East street and then up North East street to Clay.

TH! ARREST Of o'NIIL. Mr. Ferris saw a policeman there in uniform and called to blm. The policeman proved to be Special Officer Thompson, who was told what was wanted. Thompson and Ferria then ran on until they overhauled O'Neil, whom they took Into custody.

Tbey said very little to him and he had llttlo to say in return, being apparently too drunk to know what be was doing. He went with the policeman without resistance, however, and was finally taken off to the City Prison after Policemen Cook and Aiken and Sergeant Helms bad appeared on tbe scene. Back at the saloon all was excitement and no one seemed to know what to do. When Sergeant Helms appoarod a patrol wagon was summoned In baste and the woman was raised from the floor and carried out to the stroet Though she appeared to be dead It was decided to send her to the Receiving Hospital. Tbe surgeons there pronounced ber dead and tbe body was removed to the Morgue.

IS THE ACIOrST KOOJI. It was not nntll nearly noon yesterday that tbe remalna were carried up to the autopsy room In the Morgue and Coroner Hughes and Dr. A. P. O'Brien began the post mortem examination of the body, which revealed the shooklng crime which O'Neil is now accused of having committed.

An outward examination of the body revealed almost no marks of violence. There was a very slight abrasion on the woman'a forehead. Then, upon a closer examlnatlou of the lower portions of the trunk of the body, they found a small incised wound, one that might have been made with a small atick. Not until incisions were made by tbe exam-ing surgeons was the true cause of the woman'a death revealed. Tbe surgeons found horrible wounds which were almost entirely internal and which seen before.

SHI BAD AX AKMrt'I OP LOWERS. ''O'Neil seemed to have been drinking more than the woman and talked a great deal, bragging about what a smart man be was. The woman bad a great armful flowers. She aaid she had brought them over from Alameda for Mrs. Bates' mother.

After this I went on about my business and went In to them only as they rang the bell save once. I did not hear any disturbance in the room at all. When it was almost 1 o'clock I became anxious about abutting up the place. I went into their room. Tbe woman was sitting on a chair at one end of the table and O'Neil was sitting olose to her at the side of tbe table.

I asked them to take drink with me. O'Neil aaid he would take whisky and tbe woman asked for tbe same, telling me to make it weak. They drank tbe liquor with Franks of tbe ItlppUs That Distort Doll-sale Figaros Into Ungainly Frogs-Tha Mystery of tbe While and the Mya-trr of Harness, and Some Things That Are Not Mysteries. If tbe rays of the sun could pass uninterruptedly and vertically down through tbe glass roof which covers the swimming tank of tbe Olympic Club tbey would make very Interesting shadows on tbe ttlod bottom of the tank on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

The prevailing colors of their dresses are black and navy blue, ana ine materials are flannel, knitted goods and muslin, some with tights from the waist to the toes, others knickerbocker style, and all with skirts reaching to the knees.

Any male spectator who might have been present would possibly have cambrlo and jersey suits particularly interesting. The naiads came and went but there was alwavs a goodlv number in the tank. It is a fair presumption from the prevalence of good looks in the tank that it is largely ine ornamental ana sport-loving part oi tne Century Club that avails itself of tho Olyrapio UluD privileges, strong arms, legs and backs dominated strong up to tbe "What for!" laid I. "We want you to identify torn one." "What do I know about any one at the Morgue!" I asked. Well, I think you had better come up, the Coroner wantt to tee you," tald the voice, and then there came over the wire a question that nearly knocked me aenselest.

How long slnoo you've teen your wife. Mr. "Up to tbat time I bad not connected Kate with the murder, but now my heart leaped up In my mouth. I could not make any answor. I dropped tbe telephone and started up Clay street I knew then tbat something must bave happened to my wife.

could form no idea aa to what it was or bow it bad occurred, and even when they told me the, had boon murdered I could only realize that the wat dead. KATE WAS DEAD. I only looked enough to satisfy myself there could be no mistake. I taw nothing except that the wife I loved bad been lost to me. I toemed to-be In a dream.

Some one told me the man who bad killed ber wat In the prison, but I didn't care for tbat Kate was dead. There was too much sor row in tbat thought for me to think of any thing else. I did not ask even to look at tbe man, and I did not listen to all tbey told me about had happened. Tbe only way I can imagine tuob a thing could occur it through tbe fact that some one must have given my wife something to drink. If tbe took two glasses of beer it bad an effeot on her, and I have more than one cautioned our friends not to ask her to drink.

She never drank much. The least bit would upset her, and it may be that thit fellow in tome way induced ber to take a drink and tbat he then had her in hit power. "I have thought perbapt the might have stopped at the house of tome acquaintance before taking the boat and might bave been Introduced to this man there just at both were about to take tbe boat' I am not ture but the may bave stopped in Davis' place with the Bates or tome other of our acquaintances tome time, and in that way the might have thought of no danger in go ing there on tbia occasion, But when I try to think it out I am all at aea and I really do not know how the could have been to foully murdered. I want to tay again that she wat the best of She never gave me a moment's uneasiness through anything that looked like, wrong-doing.

MR.

BAVAGE SHOWS HIS FACE. Be Wanted Judge CoflToy to Notlee the Family' Marks on His Countenance. 1 William Savage, the bootmaker claimant to tbe Blythe estate, yesterday resumed his argument in- his own behalf in Judge Cof-. fey's court The Spectacle of a man untrained in the law od unaccustomed to public speaking addressing a Court for himself in a case where stake amounts, to $4,000,000 attracted considerable attention. Many at-, torneyswere present to.

listen to tbe argument There is a historical parallel in tbe case-of Demosthenes, who began bis career as a public speaker by winning his suit against tbe defaulting administrator of bis father's estate. Mr. Savage modestly dis claims any intention of following in the steps of bis illustrious predecessor. If he wins his suit he will sell his shoe shop and enjoy the income of his property. Mr.

Savage opened his speech yesterday with the startling statement that somebody had been tampering with the. exhibits in the case. This statement caused Judge Uotiey to sharply demand bow tbe recordu had been Taking tbe photographs of Thomas H. Blvthe that were taken in the burial vault after he had been dead more than two vears: Mr. Savutre pointed out two black spots tbat appeared on the right side of the nose.

ThnkA marks were nut on that photo graph to help strengthen the Williams case," said Mr. Savage. He would not say whom he suspected, but insisted, that the Judge could see for himself the marks. Yes, 1 see," said the Court, after a close insDection. Savage pointed out what no other speaker in the case bad noticed, that the marks on the large photograph were not Identical with those on the small photo- graph, although apparently intended to be Q1UUS lUB BB1UO.

"There were marks, on Thomas H. Blvthe'a face," said Mr. Savage, but they were not such as would bave shown thus in the Dhotoaraph. They were not such marks as wore testified to on behalf of the Williams case. That is why these marks Were made." Mr.

Savage, who claims to be Biytne's cousin, not his nephew as formerly stated. advanced to the boucn ana saia asu vnur Honor to make a close scrutiny of the mi marks on mv laco. xuoy uuucu mo family mark. Thomas H. Blythe was marked in the same, way according to the testimony in my behalf-" The Judire.

after carefully Inspecting the exhibit before him, said the statement just ms.de aoneared to be Well founded. The marks referred to were slight dlscolor- ations like dark freckles under the skin. Still knocking against the obstacles to his fortune that had been Built up Dy tne Williams claimants. Mr: Savage said it would have been impossible for William Williams to have sent his son to uutnen scnooi oe-oause it would have cost 1 a week, which was all that William Williams could earn as a driver of a stationary engine. It was nnssible for Thomas H.

Blythe to have at tended Ru then school because his father wh wealthy, and Thomas livod within mile of Kutben.wnereas tne son or vuinam Williams lived ten miles away and couldu' have cone the distance day after day. Is that Impossible I walked ten miles last niebt" ventured tbe Court "Tbat mav be, but you couldn't have done It when you were a boy, and still per- form your duty as a student, you couidn' have rone back and forth that way."

Ho far they suspect no one but O'Neil, and all the evidence seems to point to kirn as the guilty man. In explanation of tbe theory which they advance as to motive tbey bave but one conclusion. Neil took the woman to the saloon for but one purpose, they argue.and In that bis doslgnt were evidently frustrated. Their theory ia that he committed tbe awful doed in a drunken frenzy after he bad been repulsed. The man la ahort of stature, stout and bis face is red and blotchy.

O'Neil was visited at the prison yester day afternoon by his wife, who llvos at 633 Chestnut street, Oakland, but who has not lived with him, on account of family troubles, for over a year. She was in con sultation with blm for three-quarters of an hour. She refused, however, to talk to the Morgue officials or to reporters, and stated simply that she know nothing about tbe affair.

She also visited the Morgue, where she saw tbe body of tbe murdered woman, but the claimed never to bave seen her before, and appeared there as only one of tbe hundreds of curious visitors who looked into the Morgue and saw the body, marked "Unidentified." It was nearly 8 o'clock last nlgbt wben Mr. Griffes, the dead woman's husband, called at, the Coroner's office to claim tbe remains. Then the remains were removed from publlo view. THE WAITER WITNESS. An important witness in tbe case will be Hans Nlssen a waiter in tbe restaurant just north of the Grizzly Bear aaloon.

At the time that the crime 4s supposed to bave been committed Nlssen satin the restaurant close by tbe door between that place and the room in wblch Mrs. Griffes and O'Neil tat Nlssen stated to a reporter last night tbat he la certain tbat he heard groana from the little room at the time the tragedy ia supposed to bave occurred, shortly after 1 o'clock. He heard no loud outcry, however. He also states tbat be believes, though he Is not sure, that be heard crios from the room a snort time berore ne neara tne groans. Tbe police after searching O'Neil and finding no weapon In his possession made a thorough search of tbe saloon premises, but tbey could find no knife or other weapon, such as a chisel, a or even a sharp atick with which the woman's Injuries might bave been inflicted.

THE HUSBAND'S J. H. Griffes, the husband of tbe mur dered Woman, was completely: unmanned by tbe shock of the discovery tbat the girl he bad married 'in Chicago' seven years ago, was the occupant of a Blab in the Morgue. I am utterly at a loss to'aocount for such a thing-happening to my wife," said he last: night "There has. never any trouble come into our married life, and I do not believe there is a husband and wife in San Francisco wbo enjoyed each others' society more' Mian we had always done.

She was not yat thirty years of age, and to my eye she -w at just as handsome as when I first met her la Germantown, more than ten yearragO. She was always full of fun, hut so amI, and I never had reason to think she was anything but a faithful wife. When we first came to San Francisco we lived at 613 Lddy street and afterwards on Golden Gate avenue. We always had plenty of friends, and Kate was fond of company. She seemed to like nothing bet ter than to have people come in in the even ing, or to have me got a nlgbt off and go out with ber.

Our little girl was born in Chi-oago and ia now three years old. Kate dearly loved to take the baby about with her. They both went down to Los Angeles with mo when I was there for a few months, and when we came back we moved over to Alameda. There was no reason why I did not want to livo in San Francisco, except tbat we -all liked Ala meda ao much better as a place to live. It was rather bard sometimes when my work made me miss my last boat, but we made up for it by getting all the enjoyment we could out of our life across the bay when I did get home.

THEIR LAST "On Monday my wife came over to the city to call on Mrs. Dr. Burns, an old friend of ours out on Market street, and she came down to my office so as to go over on the boat with me. When we got borne it was such a beautiful mooullgbt night that we took a long walk before going Into the house. That was our last moonlight ramble.

Next morning we picked a lot of flowers. She wanted ma to hring them over to Dr. Burns, but 1 said they would keep fresh until Tuesday, and then she would probably want to take another run over herself. So I kissed her and tbe baby good -by and came over on tbe noon boat That night I had to stay over to finish an article ana aia not got Dacic nome untu Tuesday night at 1 1 :30. The baby was In bed sleeping as sweetly as could be, but Kate was not thore.

I knew, however, that she was going to take the flowers over to Nana (Mrs. Burns), and I supposed of course they had coaxed net to stay au night. She often stayed there, aud it caused me no uneasiness at all to find that she did not come homo. To day I got over a little early, and I thought I would go up to Nana's and ar range with Kate to stay over till night and go back on tho boat with me. Naua was out wben I got there, and her assist ant told me she had not seen my wife at all.

Even this did not alprm me, for Kate had plenty of friends In the city, and she might have gone up to Mrs. Bates' on California street. Mrs. Bates is Dr. Burns' daughter.

We all used to live in the same house on Golden Gate avenue, and they afterward lived near us in Alameda for a while. She might have trone there or to one of two or three other places where we had friends. So 1 said to myself, She'll hunt me up before she goes and I went on down to the office. WANTED AT THE MOROUE. "Twice during the day I bad a call at tbe telephone.

I thought at once that it was Kate, and that she wanted to toll me where to meet her. The first call was about newspaper business. Tbe second call came while I was at work at my dosk at about 7 p. m. The boy told ms I was wanted at tbe telephone.

I took hold of the band teleehone and a voice said: Who isthatJ" Griffes," said I. "What Griffes! J. H. Griffes 1" Yes." I The Most Atrocious MnrflfT tf Mn. Kate Grides of Alameda.

Joon at an early bour yesterday nf but lata that only meager de-sil be atrocity were to be had by the morning papers.

The I crime i truly as fiend fc lhorrora of Whlte- chapel. There are in it all the element of brutality which marked the deeds of Jack the Ripper. But the crime la even darker. The Tictlmi of the Whitechapel fl were every one women of the very lowest order. The woman who met such a horrible death yes- v- ite Griff the terday morning woman, proved to have been a 1 mother and a woman who was respected as a quiet housewife and toe was said to be dutiful and faithful to those who trusted in her.

The murdered woman proves to be Mrs. Kate Griffes, the wife of J. H. Griffes, a local newspaper man. The Griffes reside in a pretty little cottage at 1714 Jay street, Alameda.

The family consisted of a husband, wife and a bright little child five or six years of age. So far as has been ascertained Mrs. Griffes first met the man who is now detained at the City Prison, accused of the murder, a few hours before she was found dead in the rear of the Grizzly Bear Saloon, at 1 1 South East street The identity of the accused man Is now positively established. He is Martin O'Neil, a foreman employed In the galvanizing department of the Union Iron Works, and he has a wife and family of grown-up children residing at 633 Chestnut street, Oakland. O'Neil was neither a good father nor a good nusband, and for over a year he has not lived with his wife and ohlldren.

WITBOri A KNOWN PARALLEL. It was not until yesterday afternoon that anything like a complete story of the crime could be ascertained, and as late as yester day afternoon it was not believed even at the Coroner's office that the crime was what had been reported. It was not until the Coroner's autopsy was held that the true and horrible nature of the revolting atrocity was revealed. The detectives, too, were Inclined to scoff at the printed stories. So far as they saw there was not a mark of violence on the woman's body.

They argued that she bad died of uterine hemorrhage and made very little effort toward an investigation But when the surgeon's knife was plied and the real causes of the woman's death became known they bestirred themselves, for the murder was recognized as one which has no parallel in the annals of crime on this Coast, If anywhere In the world. The injuries are of such a nature as not to permit of their description in public IS TBI EAST-STREET SALOON, The Investigation began, of course, in the saloon at 11 East street, where Mrs Griffes' dead body was found between the hours of 1 and 2 o'clock yesterday morning. It was ascertained that she entered the saloon, accompanied by Martin O'Neil shortly after 9 o'clock. Just to the north of the main entrance of the Grizzly Bear Saloon is a glass door, which bears the sign, in flaming red letters, "Ladies' Entrance." Through this door Mrs.Griffes was lured to what proved her death. Passing down the long hallway, they were met by a waiter.

who directed them to one of several stuffy little rooms in the rear of the saloon. The apartment whichO'NeilandMrs. Martin O'Neil, who Griffes entered was a ehcrroed wUh the mw-very small one. The of Mn. Griff u.

only furniture in it was a small oak table and two cane-bottom chairs. The walls of the room are lathed and plastered, and of considerable thickness. The room is immediately under the stairway, and three doors open into it. The one through which they entered opens from the hallway; another unused door formerly connected the saloon with a restaurant adjoining on the north. The third door opens into a dark closet under the stairs.

Ia this closet there were three chairs, turned backs outward and forming a sort of bench. Soon after O'Neil and Mrs. Griffes were shown into the room by the proprietor of the saloon, W. H. Davis, the enunciator connecting with the electric bell at the bar was pressed.

Davis, the saloon-keeper, answered ine can. rue woman ordered a glass of lager beer. "Ill take whisky," said O'Neil A moment later, after Davis had retired, O'Neil stopped out Into the hallway and opened the door leading to the saloon. Sticking his head through the opening, he it tvo 1. 1 be ss to to in.

JL l4 me and then I went out, leaving them sit ting as I have stated. "There is one incident, however, Which I have not mentioned," continued Da-, is.

When it was just about time for the last boat to leave for across tbe bay I went in to serve them with the drinks. I asked the woman whether she wanted to catch tbe last boat She told me' that she did not mind the boat, as she Intended to remain in this city at the home of Mrs. Bates' SOMETHING BEHIND" THE According to tha best judgment of Davis and of his bartender and John Ferris, a machinist who was in the saloon, O'Neil and Mrs. Griffes were alone in the room about half an hour after the occurrence last mentioned. They heard very little noise from the room, they all say, and paid no attention to tbe man and woman until they beard the bell which announces the opening and closing of tbe outer door opening from the hallway to the street John Ferris stepped to the front door of the saloon, looking around the corner.

bay, Davis, that fellow is going away without the woman," he yelled. The saloon-keeper immediately stepped back to the room in the rear. He rapped on the door and received no response. Then he turned the knob and attempted to open the door. There was something behind which resisted his first efforts.

He pushed harder and tbe door opened six or seven inches. Davis looked In and saw a sight that almost paralyzed him. Tbe woman, whom he knew as Kittie, was lying upon the floor in a pool of blood. Her bead was reclining on the edge of tbe chair in which Davis bad last seen her sitting. One of her legs was doubled under her, and it was the other, stretched out until the foot touched the door, which bad prevented his entering without considerable effort TUB SCATTERED FLOWERS.

The bouquet of flowers which the woman had carried was scattered all over the room. Dozens of the beautiful blossoms lay at the woman's feet, their pure white spotted and stained with her life's blood. Davis' first impulse was to stop the man. He ran out and calling to his friend, Ferris, said: "My God! that woman Is dead. Run out and catch that man.

Don't lei him get out of your sight, but follow hlra until you can get a policeman to arrest him." erris did as he was bid and hurried out into Front street Running down to Market he saw O'Neil walking deliberately up the street, his hands In his pockets.
