THE FATHER CONFIDENT.
J. Flgrol Makes Some Pointed Com
ments on the Arrest.
Sorrow and scorn hold fnli sway in the
home of Theodore Figel's parents.
"My son is innocent of any crime," Mr.
Fieel said, "and those who know me best
will also know that no son of mine would
bring, of his own accord, sorrow on those
he loves and stain with blood the name
he respects.
A HIGH - NOON CHURCH
WEDDING.
Mist j Agnes C. Marshall, eldest daughter
of Mr- and Mrs. John Marshall, and Henry
W. Spalding, chief clerk of the law depart
ment of the Valley Railroad, were murriea
yesterday at noon at the Fir«t Presbyterian
Church, Rev. E. H. Jenks officiating. Tne
engagement of the young couple had been
kept profoundly secret, and the wedding will, without doubt, be a. great suiprise to their many friends. The young bride, a handsome
blonde, is a gracuwte of Irving Institute and is very musical. Mr. Spalding is prominent in cycling circles. He is a inemberof the
Olympic Club, Camera Club and Bay city Wheelmen, and is the editor of the cycling column of The Call. Only the relatives and
most intimate iriends 01 the contracting parties witnessed the ceremony. The bride wa& attended by Miss Elmira Panno and Judge
Frank H. Kerrigan was best man. The bride wore an elegant gray-cioth tailor suit with hat to match. Mr. and Mrs. Spalding left yes
terday afternoon fox a southern bridal lour.
THE SA"N T FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY I, 1897.
Harry Hoffman Swearing Out the Warrant for Figel-s Arrest.
"I visited him in the prison to-night
and he assured me that he was innocent,
and wneh he told me, his father, that he
was innocent I then felt lighter at heart,
hut still I grieve. Wbat father would
not, his son accused and confined in a
felon's cell?
"When I left my son I returned to my
home 10 my wife. Poor woman, she is ill
in bed, prostrated wiiti many ills and
grief. I am a man of the world and can
bear up, depressed as 1 am, be;ter th-an
she. . ■
"It seems that persons who have inter
ested themselves in the case for reasons
unknown to me cry out for revenge for the
murder of Isaac Hoffman when it is not
proven bsvond a doubt that a murder has
been committed.
"Why was it that Mrs. Hoffman or the
dead merchant's brother, who was his
partner, di-d not swear to the c.harg
against my son ? Why wa<» it that Harry
Hoffman >wore to the complaint?
"I think I can see the reason, he has
nothing to lose when niy son is acqiiit
ted. He is financinliv irresponsible and
against, him we will have no redress.?'-'
At, this instance Philip F gel, the
prisoner's brother, stepped in:, the
room and .«ald that he shared his
father's opinion in the matter of the
complaint, and in that significant fact he
could read fear on the side of the prosecu
tion that a conviction could not be se
cured.. . ■
The father concluded the interview py
saying: . /. . . '
'I have no fear but. that my son will be
acquitted. He. is confident and perfectly
at his ease. The day will come
when retributive justice will be meted
out to those who now see tit to charge
him with a crime that ha did not commit,
that he could rsot have committeJ, us his
heart always revolted against such deeds,
of blood." . ■ .'.".■'

QLYIiPIO CTTT BATE. &
The Athletic Club Ha* Dispensed With
Some V..\ iable> Employes.
The Olympic Club directors are still cur
tailing expenses and at a recent meeting
they dispensed with the services of Harry
Clark, the swimming instructor; A, W.
Achesori, the cashier and bookkeeper, and
A. F. Overman, the engineer. It is said
that another reduction of the salaries
which are now paid to the smployes will
soon be made and that many changes will
occur, all of which will tend to decrease
the monthly expenditure of the club.
It is also reported that since the clob in
augurated professional boxing entertain
ments a number of good members re
signed, but now that the directors have
wiped their ringers from the taint of pro-.
fes'ional sloeging and wisely returned to
their old game of amateur sports, doubt
less the membership will increase.
