NOTHING IN IT.
Detective Lawson's Great
Sensation Exploded.
An Affidavit from Jessie Ham
ilton.
She Denies That Olsen Was at Her
House.
The "New Evidence" Alleged to Have
Been Manufactured—How the
Alleged Confession Was
Obtained.
About a week ago a sensational article
was printed in a number of papers in
this state and telegraphed broadcast
throughout the country that A. B. Law
eon, who ran a detective agency in this
city for some time, had discovered new
evidence in the Ivett murder which
would prove conclusively that August
Olsen.who was tried for the murder and
acquitted, was the author of the bloody
deed.
Lawson claimed that there was a con
spiracy between Olsen and two others
to put old man Ivett out of the way, and
that after the killing Olsen went to the
house of a woman with whom he was
living and washed the blood from his
person and changed his clothing. To
back up his statements Lawson gave out
that the woman, whose name a Jessie
Hamilton, made a confession, in which
she stated that Olsen came to her house
on the night of the murder covered with
blood and carried a bundle in his hands.
The publication of Lawson's story of
the alleged confession created great ex
citement in the neighborhood where
the murder occurred, and it now ap
pears that the detective's claims amount
to nothing.
An affidavit of Jessie Hamilton com
pletely knocks out tbe story of her con
fession, and her statement is printed in
the Merced Connty bun, which also
gives the following interview with Mr.
McCabe, who was one of Olsen's attor
ney's at the trial. Referring to the ar
ticle, Mr. McCabe said:
"Yes, we have read the article, and
with a considerable degree of amuse
ment at ihe absurdity of the proposi
tion, knowing the facts in the case as
we do."
"Why?" was asked.
"The absurdity oi the matter stated is
sufficient to prove its falsity, for, as a
matter of fact, in going from either
Snelling or the ivett ranch, long before
he could by any road have reached La
Qranee, he passed through two creeks
of running water and alongside ol a
reservoir containing an immense body
of water, at any of which places he could
have washed if he had needed to.
"Within one hundred yards of La
Orange runs the Tuolumne river, which
Olsen had to cross before he got home,
and on his road he passas numerous
mining shafts, which would have af
orded a perfect place of concealment for
anything. But the most unreasonable
thing is that with two or three saloons
running, and the very dance house in
which Jessie Hamilton lived in full
blast, as they Were that very night, ii
the evidence of the peace officers of La
G:ange is to be believed, that a man
freßh from a murder and covered with
B,ore. would go to the most public place
in towu, which this dance-house un
questionably was at that time of night,
with probably twenty persons in vari
ous stages of inebriety, within a few
feet, call up a womau whose business
certainly was to have male companions
with her, and thus take every chance of
discovery that could be devised, and
' for what? Simply to wash off the blood
that, had there been any, could as well
bave been washed off in tbe creeks,
reservoir or river, and out of the sight
of anyone.
"About that bloody shirt. There is
nothing easier for an unprincipled pri
vate detective, as most of that class are,
stirred by the hope of sharing in the al
leged English half-sister's propective
share of the Ivett estate, than to trump
ui> evidence of this character. One of
his tooli puts the bloody shirt into the
receptacle and another with a great
flourish of trumpets, in the presence of
an admiring crowd, digs it out again.
Why, such a man can have a bloody shirt
dug out of any outhouse in this town be
fore the week is out if he wanted to.
"Wo first heard of Jeesie Hamilton
in Modeßto during the LUanchard trial
and were informed then that parties were
after her to make a statement of some
character. We were informed that she
waa tiret offered money to sign a written
statement lor her of facts substantially
as stated in the Examiner, but she in
dignantly refused to make it because she
said it was false. Bull-dozing was then
restorted to until the unfortunate woman
was forced to bairicade her door to keep
out Detective Lawton and
who were endeavoring to get this false
statement sigued.
"She finally went before L. J. Mad
dox, a notary public, of Modesto, and
one of the leading attorneys there and
voluntarily made an affidavit that she
knew nothing about. August Olsen and
did not see bim on the nights of the 9th
and 10th of November, 1891), at all.
"She was not alone among women of
this class in this style of peraecution,
for we are informed that the same
agency have endeavored to get similar
statements signed by several other
women.
"Here is the affidavit, which you may
publish if you desire."

CHRISTMAS BALL.
Grand Opening of the Ath
letic Park.
The Los Angeles Team Show
Up in Improved Form.
Eleven Innings Played in the
Second Game.
Tw» Wall Hatched Team*—Loi Angelea
ateaten In Both Game* After a
Hard Ba.tle—Another
Game Today.
Before some 200 people the new Los
Angeles club suffered defeat by the Cal
iforniae, at the new Athletic grounds
yesterday morning. The playing of
morning games is something new in
Los Angeles, which partially accounts
for the small attendance. The game
was a beauty and thoroughly enjoyed
by the spectators.
Only seven innings were played, the
visitors winning by a score of 3 to 1.
The score by innings was :
1234 5 6 7
Californias 0 0 1 0 0 2 o—3
LosAUgolos 1 0 0 0 0 0 o—l
A large crowd witnessed the afternoon
game, and a better game was probably
never played in Loa Angeles. For
eleven innings the teams batted as
though they were playing for pennant
honorß iti Fome big league. At 2:40
Umpire Holliday called play, and the
exciting struggle commenced with Got*
die at the bat. He opened up with a
nice single, but his fellow-players were
unable to get him over the plate.
The visitors failed to score in their
half, but Loa Angeles broke the ice in
the second. Hulen took first on balls,
second on sacrifice, and finally reached
the plate on a wild pitch. The score
was tied in the third. Sweeney hit pact
third for a single, stole second and
came in on Deckers excusable error. The
Californias took a big lead in the fifth,
l'itclier O'Neil was responsible for
Stanley and Sweeney reaching first.
Brown sacrificed, while Jerry Denny,
the king of third basemen, hit for three
bases, scoring on Fogarty'a error of Mc-
Donald's hard hit. Los Angeles got an
unearned run in the sixth, and tied
the score in the seventh, amidst great
enthusiasm. Fogarty led off wi'h
a two-base hit. Goldie follow
ed with a hit and both men scored
on Goodenough's safe shot. Neither
side could score until the last half of the
eleventh. With two out Brown got in a
single. O'Neill presented Denny with
first, thinking he could strike McDonald
out. Mac, however, hit to left, scoring
Brown with the winning run. The
game abounded in brilliant plays, Fo
garty making two sensational running
catches. Hassemardid his work around
short nicely, in fact both teams fielded
splendidly. The two clubs are very
evenly matched ; a good seriea may be
looked for. Following is the score :

today's GAME.
The game today promises to be an
other hotly contested one. Darby will
be in the box for the Lob Angeles and
Reilly for the Californias. The game
deserves good patronage, for the boys
are playing gilt-edged ball.
Lohniann started in to catch in the
morning game, and seemed to be in his
old-time form, but in making a quick
throw to second hestrained his arm so
ac to necessitate his retirement from
the game.
Leland will probably be given a trial
behind the bat. Dungan belongs in the
out field. If he had been out in left
field yesterday, McDonald's fly in the
eleventh inning would have been taken
care of.
