had read the second paper, too, not say
ing anything but just reading and read

" 'Yes, you must go home. I have de
cided I won't take you to my wife.'
"But he was really good to me all
the time. So after he had finished the
paper and told me I must go home, I
went to my room, and wrapped up all
my other things In a bundle and then
he said to me.
" 'Do you think you can get home by

"I told him I didn't know whether I
could or not.
" 'Well,' he said, 'they are making
such a fuss about your going away with

she was missing. Chief of Police Shlppy
and Inspector MoCann late tonight ex
amined her closely, and she admitted
that Friday evening Blair attempted to
assault ht-r and that he agreed to send
her home today If she would make no
outcry arxi expose him.
The child said, on close examination,
that Blair, when he took her to the
Cincinnati hotel, engaged two rooms
connected by folding doors. Late Fri
day night, she declared, he appeared in
her room and attempted to assault her.
She struggled against him and finally
frightened him away by threatening to
arouse the other occupants of the hotel.
The man's face became very white, she
srild. ami he begced her not to carry
out her threat. He promised her, she
said, that he would send her back to
Chicago this morning unharmed If she
would not tell anyone about her exnri

treated her as nicely as he had when
they first arrived In Cincinnati, taking
her to the theater and showering her

The announcement of Filers pjano
bouse on page 6 to sell an even 10U
fine brand new highest grade pianos for
s than what Instruments or simiiii
grade and quality have ever heretofore
n 'ffered In this or any other cit.
and at the mime time to sell them on
ajments of 16 down and Jl a week,
Is hound to arouse unparalleled interest.
The mere mention of the fact that
the finest selected Instruments of tho
four leading and largest piano makers
of the United States will bo offered for
sale at cut prices will be surriclent
to start a stream of piano buyers to 36a
Washington street
The past hub witnessed numerous
special offerings In the piano trade.
Filers piano house is admittedly tne
place where at all times the fceat of ev
erything is obtainable for les money
than can be secured at any other store
or agency. Rut in this sale brand new
pianos will be obtainable for less than
they have ever heretofore been of
fered In this or any other city.
Hot Weather Hindered Us.
The unprccedentedly hot weatner last I
month naturally Interfered a great deal
with piano selling. People simply would,
not and could not consider a matter
that Is so easily put off. We main-I
tain one of the largest organizations in j
the United States in the piano trade.
Vacations are over. Draymen tuners,
office men and all other employes of
the big establishment must be kept
bnny. Besides, new pianos are coming
from various factories reguluily. In ;
addition to selling the large number j
of pianos planned for during August,
we propose also to ,sell those which !
ought to have been taken heretofore.
A price so low and terms of payment
so eay as to make It n mere matter
of sHving carfare or cigar money to
getone, will accomplish the result we
are after.
We have the finest assortment or
strictly high grade Instruments that has
ever heT shown under one roor, and
besides those we have many of the bet
tor and medium grade plnnos sold regu
larly at $250, $300 and S3C0.

ous most superb genuine mottled ma
hogany or fancy oak cased regular $500
upright pianos, Instruments that we
guarantee and never heretofore been
sold In this or any other olty under any
circumstance for less than $388; we will
sell them now for $294.
Forty dollars less will bny the same

little more will secure during this sale

San Francisco, Aug. 1. Detective
Serjeant Edward Gibson, who for years
ha been in charge of the identification

"1 have read carefully the description
of F. J. Fuller, who kidnaped the Cas

Chief of Police RigrT has instructed

The next move will be to fix a time

the words of doom on to convicted
