CONFESSES.
Frank Hill, the Once Gay
Deceiver.
He Is Back Again at San
Bernardino.
A Written Statement of His
Recent Career.
Miss Wozencraft Says She Has For
given Him.
The Strange Story Gathered by a
"Herald" Reporter.
HUI Is Very Sick and Very Repentant.
He Makes a Public Statement or His
Wrong-Doing* — A Minister Advised
Him to Return and Confess and He
Followed tbe Advice—What Will the
Finale Be?
Frank E. Hill, the handsome young
drug clerk who figured in that sensa
tional deferred wedding case at San
Bernardino, with charges of bigamy
floating in the air aa a aide issue, ia
back in San Bernardino. He haa been
back i here for the paat week, having
arrived secretly. Hill haa been con
ti ad to bed ever aince hia arrival, and
ia ii'iite sick und deepondent.
A Herald reporter visited San Ber
nardino yetterday, and visited the
Wozencraft house. Saw Miss Mary
Wozencraft, the young lady to whom
Hill waß about to be married, when the
exposure was made that he had another
wife. Mies Wozencraft is a tall, stately
looking brunette, with large laughing
black eyes, and hair that rivals the
raven's wing.
"Miss Wozencraft," said the reporter,
"I understand Frank Hill, your affianced
husband, is here in San Bernardino.
Do you know where he is 1"
"Yes, sir," responded Miaa Wozen
craft, "Mr. Hill is now in San Bernar
dino. He came here four days ago, and
is now stopping with a friend. He is
sick in bed, and wrote me a long letter
making a full confession of his wrong
doings to me; and I have forgiven him
as a Christian should. While he has
done wrong in deceiving me, I think he
is truly repentant, and I think also that
if he would tell his side of the story it
would be apparent that he has also been
greatly wronged. But you had better
see him yourself, and let him 'tell his
story."
So, accordingly, the reporter received
directions where to find Hill, and upon
reaching the house, was ushered into a
darkened room, where Hill was lying in
bed, his face worn and haggard and
overcast with a look of hopeless misery.
"I want to make a full confession of
my misdeeds," said he brokenly, "and
I have written out a statement which
you can nee."
[The statement submitted by Hill is
annexed.l
HIS CONFESSION.
"In justice to Miaß Mary Louise
Wozencraft, her relatives and frienda,
also my relatives, friends and myself, I
feel in duty bound to make an honest
con fession of my life and give an explana
tion of my mysterious conduct toward
Misa Wozencraft. When my aide of the
story has been heard you will find I am
neither "criminal," "embezzler" or
"bigamist." MiBS Wozencraft is the
only one whom I have wronged, and it
is aolely on her account I make this con
fession. . . .The circumstances con
nected with my meeting, marriage, etc.,
with Ada Wilson are of Buch a nature:
Previous to our marriage she was em
ployed in a restaurant and laundry;
came to me with a pitiful tale; I took
compassion on her, paid her board and
lodging at two different places; finally
waa entrapped into a marriage. My
life with her waa anything but a happy
one. Not even the slightest respect ex
isted between us. . . .Went to San
Diego; remained there about ten days.
I accepted a position as druggist with
Dr. Bedford in San Bernardino, repre
senting myself as a single man. . . .
Ada secured employment as cham
bermaid in National City, and is
working in that capacity at
the present time. Shortly after my
arrival in San Bernardino I met my fate,
my ideal, Miaa Mary Louise Wozencraft,
a young lady poßseßsed of great personal
attractions, noble, honorable and refined
—a true lady in every sense of the word.
My first impressions were of the pro
foundest respect and esteem. Friend
ship ripened into love, and till my dying
day I will honor and respect her above
all women. I would willingly give my
life in atonement for the wrong I have
committed. I can offer no excuse for
my mad conduct. I knew all the while
that I was committing an unpardonable
sin, yet I could not resist, but rushed
headlong, regardless of consequences.
Not till the eve of our wedding day did
I fully realize what I was doing. I be
came wild with remorse and excitement.
My one thought was to go to Ada, ar
range matters satisfactorily with her,
return to MiBS Wozencraft and confess
all. I explained everything, showed her
the marriage announcement and a wed
ding card. She agreed to secure a
divorce for $150, money to be paid aa
soon as a divorce was granted.
While en route for San Bernardino I
became weary and thinking she might
change her mind and come to San Ber
nardino, I wrote her a letter to the effect
that I would not marry Miss Wozencraft,
etc., etc.; that I would return to her,
etc., etc. To keep her from following
me and creating a sensation was my ob
ject in writing her such a letter. I, at
the same time, telegraphed Miaa Wozen
craft to have everything in readineßß,
that I would be there at 8 o'clock p. m.
I knew that I could not marry her. I
knew, also, that without such a mea-
Bage it would be unsafe to return. I
returned to San Bernardino with the in
tention of telling her everything and
placing myself at her mercy. If I had
been allowed a private interview I would
have.explained my actions, but her
brother and uncles were present; I was
not fallowed to ccc her alone, and to
make my confession in their presence
would have been sure death; I would
have been cremated on the spot, and
would have deserved it. Therefore, I
waa obliged to lie; my life in San Ber
nardino was a continual round of lies.
I commenced with a lie, and in conee
THE LOS ANGELES HERALD SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 30, 1892
quence was obliged to tell another and
another in order to make the first hold
good; in fact, lying was my only sal
vation.
I knew all the while that I was com
mitting an unpardonable wrong. Yet I
could not resist, but rushed headlong,
regardless of consequences. Now that I
have made a free and open confeeaion, I
ask, in the name of the young lady I bo
grievoußly wronged, your forgiveness.
Her good influence haa been the means
of raising me to a better life, haa in
spired me with new feelinga; in other
words, she haa made a man of me. I
shall endeavor in the future to do what
is right and just, and in every way try
to rectify the mistakes and atone for the
ains of my past life. Again, I aak of
you one and all to forgive me and en
courage me to live the life of an honora
ble and upright gentleman. Now that I
have made a free and open confession, I
ask, in the name of tbe young lady I so
grievously wionged, your forgiveness.
I am, yours Bincerely,
Frank Edwin Hill.
"Now, in addition to what is told in
the statement, which was written at my
dictation by Miss Wozencraft, I want to
say that I was forced to marry Ada
Wilson, at Fairhaven, Washington. I
had paid her board and lodging for
some time, and one day I was found in
her room by Mrs. Steward and Mrs.
Britt. They raised a terrible uproar,
and said I would have to goto jail if I
did not marry her, and bo I lost my
nerve and was married. There was no
love between ns, and three separate
times she agreed to get a divorce, for
which I offered to pay her. When
I went to see her at Na
tional City, on the eve of
my wedding with Misß Wosencraft
she agreed to get a divorce and I wanted
to have the wedding postponed, and on
my return to San Bernardino I asked to
see Mary but was confronted by four of
her relatives, her brother Will Wozen
craft, and her uncles Newt Brown,
Charles Bouse and J. Brown. I lied to
them, and said I waa not married, be
cauae I knew that they would kill me
then if I told the truth.
"When I was coming up on the train
from San Diego to San Bernardino I
wrote a letter to my wife telling her to
remain at National City, and I would
take her east. I did this to keep her
from coming up to San Bernardino.
"I wanted to make my confession to
Mary and have the wedding postponed
until I could secure a divorce. When I
saw my wife at the Los Angeles police
station I gave her money and she agreed
to get a divorce from me. Since then
she has written a letter in which she
says that she will not get a divorce
from me.
"You cannot absolutely deny that I
have a wife in Fittaburgh. 1 was mar
ried to Mollie Woodaof Greensburg, Pa.,
and when she ran away with Jack Mar
chand and waß subsequently arrested,
we got a divorce and divided the prop
erty. The divorce is on record in the
Westmoreland connty court. I was 22
years old when I married in the east;
quite a young man you see. After 1
left San Bernardino I went to San Fran
cisco and secured two positions paying
me $85 per month, which I had to give
up in consequence of tbe publication of
my story in the newspapers. I was
driven to deapair, and thought of com
miting suicide. Finally I concluded to
go and see a minister of the gospel, and
called on Bey. Mr. Willis of the Episco
pal church. I made a full confession of
all my misdoings, and he took me to
church with him, and prayed with me.
I spent the night at hia house, and he
gave me much good advice and religious
comfort. He told me that the beat
course for me to pursue was to make an
open confession of my sins, to God
and to the world. He said it was
best for me to go to San Ber
nardino and publicly acknowledge my
wrongdoing, and then turn over a new
leaf and make a man of myself, and, God
helping me this is what I intend to do.
"My plana for the future are unset
tled, but I feel better for having made a
clean breaat of the whole matter. If
my preaent wife, who does not love me,
and whom I do not love, would only get
a divorce, aa she agreed to do when I
gave her my money, Mary and I would
then be married. At present we are
both broken hearted.
"We intend to make another effort to
secure my freedom, but it is hard to say
what the result will be. If we are not
successful there is only one thing for us
to do, and that is to face the future with
broken hearts and blasted hopes, and
take the world as it comes. I will never
live with Ada, my wife, again, becauae
there has never been any love or sym
pathy between us, aa my wife haa often
publicly confeaaed. I never used any
of ber money, as I have always had
means, and when I married her I had
to buy her the Bhoes to wear at
the wedding. Before I married her she
was working in a laundry, and she used
to come over to Doc Bedford's and play
euchre with us at a table behind the
prescription counter. I paid her lodg
ing and board, and waa entrapped into
marrying her. That is the whole story."
Hill has not been out of bed since hia
arrival in San Bernardino, and looka
like a broken-down man. His presence
in San Bernardino ia not known to any
one aave the Wozencraft girla. Miss
Mary Wozencraft's face showa the
lineß of deep but repressed sorrow.
She has been over to see Hill several
times, and ia apparently as deeply in
love with him as ahe waa prior, to the
night before her wedding, when the
bridegroom so myateriously disap
peared.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
JOHNSON'S STORY.
Perhaps His Escape Was Due
to a Mistaken Sentiment.
The Ladies Who Became Inter-
ested in His Case.
He Unfolded to Them His Pathetic
Tale of Woe.
He Was a Victim of Booze—How His
Father Became Aware of His Sit
uation — Some Interesting
Details.
Some unwritten history has just come
to light in connection with the caee of
Charles L, Johnson, alias George John
son, a charge of felony against whom, it
has been alleged, was compounded, and
the criminal railroaded out of the state.
The new developments add some ro
mance to the ease, and if the story is
true, go to show that ihe compounding
of the felony was prompted from motives
of genuine if mistaken philanthropy,
and not with sinister intent, as appeared
on the surface.
A morning prper, in a report of the
case, made the following assertion:
"Two mysterious women put in an
appearance and spent several days going
from one to the other among those in
terested in the prosecution, and to each
one they told a pitiful story as to how
young Johnson was the much-beloved
son of a wealthy Kansas gentleman,
whose heart would be broken if his son
was sent to state's prison and branded
as a felon all his life. They wound up in
each rase by asking tbat the burglary
charges be dismissed and that the thief
be permitted to plead guilty to petit
larceny so that the father might be
allowed to pay the fine in good hard
coin and then take his son back home.
These women made themselves quite
numerous, but, strange to say, no one
seems to know who they are, where they
came from or what has become of them
since the case was settled. To one in
quisitive detective they stated that they
reside on Boyle Heights, and that John
son did some gardening for them before
be become a Los Angeles burglar, and
they took a great liking to him."
The two "mysterious women," above
referred to were Mrs. Vosburgh, a
respectable widow, living at 1816 Palm
street, and her daughter, Miss Lillie,
well known in social and musical circles.
Their efforts in behalf of young John
son were prompted by entirely disinter
ested motives.
It appears that Mrs. Vosburgh is dis
posed to be philanthropic. No tramp
ever comes to her door that is not given
something to eat and a piece of moth
erly advice. It happened in this wise
that she came to be connected with the
Johnson ease.
A few weeks prior to last Christmas a
young man applied at her door for the
privilege of cleaning up her yard. It
was plain to her at once that the
stranger belonged to the genus tramp,
and that he was under the influence of
liquor and suffering from hunger, but
withal he was genteel, and showed by
his bearing that he had seen better
days. Here was a chance to impress a
moral lesson. She informed him that
she had no work she wished done, but
tbat if he wanted something to eat he
was welcome. He was conducted to the
kitchen, and while he was regaling the
inner man she extracted his story from
him.
The young man told how he was the
pride of kind, indulgent and wealthy
parents. He was sent to Princeton col
lege, where he remained three years,
until expelled for playing a practical
joke on a member of the faculty. Later,
he was engaged to be married to a lovely
girl, but a quarrel arose between them,
the engagement was broken off and he
went to the bad. Tbe drink habit grew
on him until he became a disgrace to
his friends and family. He drifted
away from home, and finally became a
common tramp. Twice he promised to
reform if his father would send him
money to come home, but each time his
appetite for drink overcame his good
intentions, and his father's money only
sunk him deeper in the mire.
His story was told in such a frank
manner that Mrs. Vosburgh was dis
posed to believe it, and her heart was
moved with pity for such blasted hopes
of once fond parents. She resolved to
save the young man before her if possi
ble. Accerdingly she asked him to write
once more to his people, make a full
confession, and give hia pledge that he
would make one more effort to reform.
She supplied paper and ink and the
prodigal composed a beautiful letter to
hia aister. He left it with ber to mail,
thanked her profusely and took his de
parture.
The kind lady then wrote a letter to
his father, partly to satisfy her curiosity
as to whether the young scamp had told
a true Btory, and particularly to urge the
old gentleman to give him one more trial
if the circumstances were as related.
A week or two passed, and a letter
came addressed to Chnrles L. Johnson,
care of Mrs. Vosburgh; also at tbe same
time a large express package. This
satisfied Mrs. Voßburgh that Johnson's
story was true, and that his folks had
sent him a Christmas present. It was
Christmas eve, and she waß very anxioua
to deliver the package and letter, but
where was Johnaon ?
Knowing him to bave been a drunk
ard and a vagrant, Bhe thought it pos
sible to learn of his whereabouts at the
police station. ■It was then that the
"two mysterious women" appeared on
the scene in public. Mra. Vosburgh
and daughter visited the police head
quarters, and there learned that a man
giving the name of Johnson had been
arrested a short time before for stealing
harness, and was then in the county
jail. They went to the jail, and sure
enough, there was their tramp! Johnson
was abashed. and admitted that he might
have staler; the harness while under the
influence of liquor. In fact he had a
faint recollection of doing co, and it de
veloped also that he waa arrested on the
night of the same day he had partaken
of her hospitality.
Most people "would have left Mr.
Johnaon to hia fate at thia point. But
notao with Mrs. Voaburgh. She had
started out to reform thia young man,
and she would not abandon him at this
critical point. She immediately in
formed his father of hia predicament,
and a week later, a venerable old gen
tleman presented himßelf at Mrs. Vos
burgh'a residence. It was Mr. John
son, senior. He had come all the way
from Wichita, Kan., to rescue his
prodigal Bon from a felon's cell, and
thank the strangers who had taken such
an interest in him. The old gentleman
Bat down in Mrs. Vosburgh'a parlor and
cried like a child over his wayward eon's
career. He fully corroborated the story
told by the young man, and declared
that aside from drink the boy had had
no fault. If he had become a thief, it
was to gratify his craving for liquor.
He had resolved to take his son home
and place him in the Keeley institute,
if he succeeded in extricating him from
the graap of the law.
Mra. Vosburgh looked up a number
of Wichita and Indianapolis people in
the city, who knew the Johnsons, and
all testified to the family's respectabil
ity. With the assistance of these ahe
succeeded in enlisting the sympathies
of the people young Johnson had pil
fered from, and also of the officers of the
law. That is how the felony of Charles
L. Johnson came to be compounded. If
there was any bribery connected with
the case, it was not through tbe agency
of Mrs. and Miss Voaburgh, for there is
every reason to believe that they acted
honestly and with a sincere desire to
save a young man from absolute ruin.
Young Johnson, on starting east, sent
hia everlaating thanks to the ladies, and
expressed his firm reaolve to take a
course of treatment at the Keeley insti
tute, and if cured and made a reapecta
ble member of society he hoped in the
end to marry hia former sweetheart,
who all tbeae years, it is said, baa been
faithful to him, but suffering from a
broken heart.
Above is the romantic side of the
Johnaon case; "the public can draw its
own conclusions."
AN INVESTIGATION TO BE MADE.
Deputy District Attorney Phibba
stated yesterday that tbe charges pub
licly made against tbe district attorney's
office in the case of George Johnson,
aliaß Charles L. Johnson, the harness
thief, would be thoroughly investi
gated. He added that everybody who
haa claimed any knowledge of any
irregularity will be summoned into
court and made to tell what he knows.
