WOMAN KILLED
BY A RUNAWAY
MISS ELENOR BROWN THROWN
FROM CARRIAGE
Popular Society Girl, Daughter of
Prominent Business Man, Loses '
Life in Accident — Sister Is
Seriously injured
Mlns filennr Jlrown, the 17-yp.nr-old
daughter ,nf Mr. and Mrs. Hnrrlson
Hrown of 4»iß Vermont avenue, one of
the most popular young members of the
smart set In Lob Angeles n mem
ber of one of the oldest fnmlltps In
Southern California, wns killed In v
runaway accident and her Plater, Miss
Ar]p||de < lirown, nn;pd 21, was seriously
injured' yesterday afternoon.
The two young women were driving
the family carriage Imm when the ac
cident occurred which resulted in the
younger girl's death. Many times the
girls hnve driven the span of horses,
which were considered quite safe. When
they reached the corner of Sixteenth
street mid Wilton place a. street car was
henrd rnpldly approaching.
The team bpgnn prancing and jump
ing. It is said that when the motor
man saw this he began to ring the gong
loudly and continued t0,, d0 so", even
though it could be seen that the ani
mals were becoming more excited every
moment.
Miss Adellde wns driving and realized
that the team were becoming uncon
trollable. She called to her sister to
help her hold them, but the two young
women were powerless, so far ns con
trolling the terrified team wns con
cerned. With a bound the animals shot
forward nnd almost jerked the girls
from the seat.
Motorman Isn't Interested
Before the running animals had gone
five yards the left front wheel of the
carriage struck a telephone pole nnd
waa demolished. Miss Elenor was
thrown from the carriage. With ter
rific force her head struck the stone
curbing nnrl she waa rendered uncon
scious. Mlss Adelide n lighted on her
Flster nnd In this manner her fall was
so broken thnt her Injuries were not
fatal.
The team then continued on its mad
career. At the corner of Sixteenth
street and Western avenue the carriage
ngain collided with a telephone pole
and wns smashed so as to be beyond
repair.
The mitorman on car No. 75 did not
wait to see what was the fate of the
women, but allowed the car to proceed
at a rfipld rnte of speed. | E. F. Sher
man, .1717 Arlington avenue, who was
otv board ' the car, jumped to the pave
ment and assisted Detective Chapman
in getting the young women on board
car No. 64, upon which they were taken
to the Los Angeles-Pacific waiting
room, on West Fourth street, and
thence to the receiving hospital.
Miss Elenor regained consciousness
for only a moment after the accident
occurred. "What started the runa
way?" asked Mr. Sherman.
"The motorman ringing the bell," she
gasped, then lapsed into unconscious
ness. >v-;v. : ■:' r;.' ,;jVi
The young woman died in the ambu
lance while on the way to the hos
pital. An examination revealed the
fact thnt a deep fracture of the skull
wns responsible for, her death. '
Sister Severely Hurt
Miss Adellde was also taken to the
hospital. She was severely bruised and
prostrated by the shock. Her nerves
were In such a rhaken up condition that
fihe could not tell how the accident
happened. Besides being bruised she
sustained small contusions on each el
bow. Her Injuries were attended by
Police Surgeon John Cook. On account
of her nervous condition it was thought
best not to tell her that her sister was
dead last night.
.The parents of the two young women
were immediately called, and arrived at
the receiving hospital a few minutes af
ter their daughters. They were pros
trated by the shock. Mr. Brown said
that the team has always been gentle
and that he has never felt any fear
when hist daughters were driving it.
The Brown family is' one of the oldest
and wealthiest families in Southern
California. Mr. Brown is president of
the Southern Refining company, with
"offices at 314-316" L,os Angeles Trust
building. ':."-
The family Is connected with some of
the/ best known peoplo in Los Angeles.
Colonel Smith, known in the days of
the earlier settlers for various achieve
ments, is a relative. The Bannings are
cousins.
Miss Elpnnr has always been a favor
ite In the younger society circles. She
was educated In Los Angeles and stud
ied for a time abroad.. She spent much
time in Paris and only returned to Los
AngelPfi a short time ago.
Many expressions of sympathy were
tendered the family by a host of friends
an soon as it became known that Miss
nrown was dead. The young woman':;
body was taken to ttresee's morgue,
■where an Inquest will bn held today.

FRIDAY MORNING, 6," 1906J
APPEARS DEBONAIR
AND CONFIDENT
ERNEST . STACKPOLE FACES
SUPERIOR COURT
Entlne Day Bpent In Arguing Tech.
nlcalltles of Formal Murder
Charge— ls Remanded to
Custody of Bherlff
From the Rullen, surly prisoner who
for the pnat few days has occupied a
coll at the county jail Ernest G.
Staekpole, charged with the murder of
Joel Shcck, has changed to a gay and
debonair youth who has put fear away
from him, and is now facing trial In
the superior court with supreme con
fidence In being acquitted.
Following a long session in court
yesterday on habeas corpus proceed
ings, Stackpole was remanded to the
custody of the sheriff and today he will
again be taken to court and find out
whether he will be liberated on the
technicality , or compelled to stand
trial.
Yesterday Stackpole spent the day in
court, and the change from the
cramped quarters at the county jail
seemed to be a relief to the man.
During the morning the case for
habeas corpus was called and Stack
pole, neatly dressed in a well-fitting
gray suit and derby hat, appeared In
department four of the superior court.
• A continuance until the afternoon
session waa asked, and again Stack
pole was handcuffed and taken to thu
court room.
The. man is • not bad looking, and
moved by that strange and foolish im
pulso which Impels young women to
be morbidly curious about viewing
murderers, scores of the fair employes
of the court house, chiefly from the
recorder's office, and many girls and
women hurried to the court room to get
a better view of the accused man.
Pays No Attention to Women
Every article of apparel was care
fully noticed by the young women; the
black silk four-in-hand tie, which be
comes the prisoner extremely well, his
high standing and immaculately clean
collar, the gray suit, and last of all the
trim shoes were all carefully discussed
and the girls took great delight in the
amusement. has a remark
ably small foot for a man of his height
and the number of his oxford slippers
is so small that many a woman would
be glad to be able to wear them.
But Stackpoie paid little or no at
tention to the women and listened care
fully to the proceedings. His attor
neys insisted that the entire transcript
of the preliminary examination be read,
since they intended basing their plea
for the man's release on the grounds
that there was an insufficiency of evi
dence.
When the time arrived for the at
torneys to read the grewsome details
of the shooting, the appearance of the
dead man when first seen as he rested
on his bed with the blood flowing from
his wounds, Stackpole's attorneys
handed him a copy of the habeas
corpus papers and the man read every
word of the uninteresting document in
order to escape hearing what was be
ing read. ; ' . -; '
Chick Doesn't Need Cuffs
Stackpole has a habit of covering one
hand with his hat and gripping tightly
to the rim of his headgear with the
other. It is a perfect position of rest,
and many men under a more severe
mental strain have been able to con
ceal their agitation by the same trick.
During the reading, however. Stack
pole became restive and asked to be
taken out of the court room. Under
the charge of Deputy Sheriff Chick, the
accused man went to an adjoining room
where he carefully rolled a cigarette
and lit it.
Then while he puffed away leisurely
he began to talk.
"You are the first deputy I havo met
who did not slap the handcuffs on me
at every opportunity," said Stackpole.
"I am not going to run away and I
dislike being handtfufted exceedingly,
and I am much obliged to you. It has
been my experience since I have been
under arrest that the local officers
handcuff you if you attempt to sneeze."
"Oh, you won't be ironed very closely
while you're with me," remarked Chick,
and he turned ever so little so that
Stackpole could see the butt of a
heavy revolver holstered close to the
officer's hand.
"There is no need in handcuffing a
man when you have a good friend like
that along," continued Chick, and
Stackpole shrugged his shoulders.
Show Morbid Curiosity
With the utmost unconcern Stackpole
asked about a trial in another depart
ment of the court house, inquired of
its details and asked what chance the
man had of being released. He quoted
various newspaper articles wherein he
had read the French mode of prose
cution and had carefully compared It
with the American procedure, and
gave his opinion that the American
form was more to his liking.
When he was taken back to the
court room the girls all gazed at him
and made remarks, but Stackpole
made no sign that he heard.
"They said he was so good looking,"
remarked one fair young woman, "and
I don't like his looks much anyhow."
"(let up closer so we can sen him
when he Is taken out," remarked an
other girl, and the spectators crowded
so that the bailiff was compelled to
order them to be more quiet.
Then the case was continued until
this morning when a final decision will
be handed down by Judge Trask. The
spectators left tho room, but waited
In the hall. • . . '
Like Harry Thaw, Stackpoio seems
to have dlutUHtu for appearing in public
woarlng handcuffs, arid at his request
Deputy Chick simply fastened a cuff
to tho prisoner's crippled left wrist and
holding the other cuff in his hand tho
bailiff inarched Btackpole to the door.
There the scores of women crowded
about and stared nt the prisoner bd
that the officer i was compelled
to force a passage through the crowd.
Even the young women dashed marlly
down the MtiiliH and waited at the lower
landing. and again crowded about to
look at Stackpole, but he showed no
Interest in the proceeding and sighed
with relief when he I was sent to hit
cell In the county Jail.

Tllden was engaged in relief work and

TWO SWORN TO
KILL CREFFIELD
DEVELOPMENTS IN THE HOLY
ROLLERS' TRAGEDY
Defendant Mitchell'* Slater Regarded
Slain Man as Divine — Ons
Man's Cartridges Missed
By Associated Press,
SEATTLE, July s.— Two men testl
fi>rl in the Mitchell trial today that
they had been ready to kill Creffleld
on Bight.
One of them testified that he had
aimed his weapon at Creffleld and
pulled the trigger five successive times,
but he had a rim fire gun and center
fire cartrlgen and his efforts were un
successful.
The next day and for three days after
he went out in search of the man with
a Winchester, but could not find him.
This man was Lewis Hartley of Cor
vallls. His daughter, Mildred.- he said,
had left the Oregon agricultural col
lege in the last term of her fourth year
to become a follower of Creffleld— had
destroyed her clothing which she had
already for graduation exercises and
along with her mother had observed
all the rites of the Holy Rollers in her
conduct about the house, so that her
father had to cook his own meals after
he came from work and eat of the
plainest- dishes.
Mrs. Mary J. Graham, matron of the
boys and girls aid society home In Port
land related In the afternoon, how she
answered George Mitchell's inquiry
about his sister Esther at the home. \
Esther had come to her In the night
and had told Mrs. ■ Graham that she
had had a message from God concern
ing her.
"Witness said she was almost afraid
to keep the flrl at the home lest she
should have a message to kill some of
the other children at the home. When,
George was asked if he "would like to
see Esther he had become excited and
had refused to see her while she was
in such a state.
Mrs. Graham was not cross-examined.
William T. Gardiner, for fourteen
years superintendent' of the boys and
girls' home, said Esther had been re
ceived at the home November, 18, 1903,
and had been sent out February 24,
1004, unimproved.
He had told George Mitchell In the
presence of others that Mrs. Starr,
Esther's sister, had made efforts to see-
Esther, at one time getting through the
cellar of the home. He had/found the
two. together, crying "Glory to God.
down with the devil; victory/victory."
Esther, he said, believed that Creffleld
was God and had command of her and
all the Holy Rollers. ■ . • . "
She was such a constant reader of the
Eible and it had such an effect on her
that he was compelled to take it. awaj;
from her.
Frank Hurt also had tried to see
Esther until warned away by the offi
cers.
When George had been asked if he
wished to see Esther the boy had be
come suddenly excited and said: "No.
I cannot stand to see her. I never
want to see her while she is in that
condition."
Lewis Hartley of CorVallls testified
to meeting George Mitchell April 30 in
Corvallis, when the young man had
told him of the divine command. When
Hartley had related the story of his
unsuccessful attempt to kill Creffleld
near Waldport, George had told him
that "God had commanded me, to kill
Creffleld and I could not."
"I told him," continued the witness,
"that he was as looney as my wife and
daughter; that they both had told me
the same thing, that Creffield could not
be killed."
