"LANNIGAN--On Sunday afternoon, a shooting affray occurred near the corner of Pacific and Sansome streets, during which a boot-black, named Thomas LANNIGAN, but better known as "Dublin Jack", was shot by sheriff, Alexander GREEN, and in a few moments, died from wounds received. A number of different versions of the affray are afloat, and it is impossible to obtain a correct statement until the matter is made subject of a judicial investigation. Below we gave narration of the case as requested by our Reporter: it appears that on the day alluded to Mrs. GREEN, who resides on the corner of Broadway and Montgomery streets, being unwell, sent her little girl, seven years of age, to a restaurant on Sansome Street, near Pacific, to get some mutton broth, and on her returned she passed by the boot-black stand kept by "Dublin". It is alleged that as she passed by, "Dublin" beckoned her, but she refused to go to him, whereupon he took a piece of cranberry pie he was eating and threw it at her. It struck her full in the face and bespattered her all over. She ran home crying and informed her parents, and Mr. Green immediately set out to see "Dublin" When they met, words passed and a fight ensued, during which the deceased was knocked down. He picked himself up, ran to his stand, took a penknife, the large blade of which was open and rushed toward Mr. GREEN, who warned him that he was an officer, and would arrest him if he made an advance. Despite the warning, he advanced on the Deputy with the knife. Mr. GREEN put up his right arm for protection and received a cut on the hand. At that moment, a man who is a friend of "Dublin" interfered, and just then Mr. GREEN was knocked down, but before he fell, he received two stabs in the left buttock. The wounded man, who lying on his back, finding himself overpowered, and thinking he had been mortally wounded, drew a small Sharp and Allen pistol and presented it at his assailant's breast and fired. He took four shots, all of which took effect, one in the mouth ranging upward, one over the nipple and the others in the middle of the breast. He expired in a few moments.Officer LANEDON took GREEN to City Prison, where his wounds were dressed. Yesterday he was taken to County Jail to await the result of the coroners inquest. The body of LANNIGAN was removed to Mullins dead-house where a post mortem exam will be held. Deceased was a native of Ireland, about 40 years of age." Source: San Francisco Call, 14 July 1868.

"LAZZELLE--SUICIDE of a COURTESAN -- Sacramento 'Register'--A young courtesan named Lizzie LAZZELLE, committed suicide Sunday afternoon about 4 o'clock by taking laudanum. It appears that she had been living with a man for the past 2 years, and had become very much attached to him, but for some time past he has been rather remiss in his attentions, and finally deserted her entirely. Failing to win him back it weighed heavily upon her mind, and she determined to end her sorrows effectually by ending her existence. On Sunday afternoon she procured a bottle of laudanum containing about 3 ounces and swallowed about half of it. She has been living for some time past in the house kept by Mary TURNBULL, on Third st., between J and K sts. A short time after she had taken the dose she informed one of the women in the house of the fact, and the latter hastened to procure medical assistance. Drs. LOGAN and MORSE were called in as soon as possible and rendered every assistance to save the poor girl's life, but the poison had well nigh done its fatal work. She lingered until yesterday morning at 5 o'clock, when she expired. This is the same girl about whom so much was said in the newspapers about 2 years since. Her parents then resided in San Francisco, where she became enamored of a circus actor, and ran away with him. After considerable search, she was found in San Jose, where the company were performing, and she was returned to her parents. Subsequently she left them again and came to this city [Sacramento], where she gave birth of a child. She was afterwards taken home again, but remained only a short time, when she returned to this city, and has been living in the house aforesaid for purposes of prostitution. She was very small, of good figure, and a mild, pleasing face, and looked really younger than she was. It is a very sad history of a brief career. The verdict of the Coroner's Jury was voluntary suicide, in accordance with the above facts." Source: Weekly Stockton Democrat, 1 May 1859. Transcribed by Dee.

"LEESE--**Death of Jacob P. LEESE --Jacob P. LEESE, one of the oldest American residents of the state, and for many years a prominent actor in public affairs, died in San Francisco last Monday, at the advanced aged of 82 years, 6 months and 19 days. A portion of his life was spent in Monterey county, and local interest attaches to him from the fact that at one time he owned the SAUSAL ranch, upon which the principal part of Salinas now stands. He was a native of Ohio, but while on a business trip down the Mississippi, he fell in at Memphis with a party organized for hunting and trapping. In what is now New Mexico, he joined a party for California, arriving in the state, December 24, 1833. In 1837 he married Miss Rosalie VALLEJO, sister of M.G. VALLEJO. Seven children survive the union: Jacob R. LEESE, postmaster at Monterey, David LEESE, farmer on San Bernabe ranch, Luis LEESE who is now in Mexico, Mrs. A. ABREGO, Mrs. Rosana KELLARD and the Misses Rosalie and Pomposa LEESE. Mr. LEESE erected the first house built in San Francisco. He accumulated several fortunes, but, like his brother-in-law, General VALLEJO, was generous to a fault. He was a magnificent specimen of manhood and had the happy faculty of attaching to himself warm friends wherever he lived." Source: Salinas Weekly Index, 4 Feb 1892, p. 3. Transcribed by Dee.
"LEESE--Died, in this city, at half-past 7 o'clock on the morning of the 22d September, ROSALIA DOMETILDE LEESE, at the house of her father, Mr. J. P. LEESE, in the midst of her family and surrounded by affectionate friends, her spirit passed quietly and solemnly from time to eternity! Roselia Dometilde was born at Yerba Buena on the 15th of April, 1838. She was perhaps the first human being who 'came into this breathing world' on the spot where now stands the proud city of San Francisco. Death is always a solemn messenger, but the chamber which he visits is dreadfully so when that 'blind foe' of all that is human enters the domestic circle and seizes on one of its members, clothed in guileless beauty, whose innocence, virtue and worth claim not only the sacred and tender care of fond parents, but the care of all who knew her. The deep sorrow of this mourning family finds a responsive feeling in the hearts of the whole community, who, too, sorrow for the loss of this fair and gentle child, who but but [sic] a few brief days ago rejoiced the goal of earth--the starting place from which God hath called her joyful spirit, to share its heritage in a purer and brighter world than this.

LEESE, then a merchant in Yerba Buena (San Francisco), on April 7, 1837, and on April 15th, 1838, a daughter was born to them, Rosalia, since deceased, who was the first child born in Yerba Buena. Eight children were born to them, 7 of whom are now living, including J.R. LEESE, postmaster at Monterey, and David LEESE, of Kings City. A number of years ago a separation was agreed to between Mr. & Mrs. LESSE, and since then she has lived in the old home at Monterey with her children, while LEESE drifted away to South America and other countries, finally returning about 3 years ago and now residing in San Francisco.

"LEIDESDORFF--OBITUARY. Died, at his own residence, in this place, at one o'clock, A. M., on the 18th inst., after an illness of seven days, of a fever, WILLIAM A. LEIDESDORFF, ESQ. late U. S. Vice Consul for this port. Having received the consolations of the Catholic religion during his illness, he was buried yesterday, at 3 o'clock, after the appropriate ceremonies, in the Mission Church of Dolores, near San Francisco. One of the largest and most respectable assemblages ever witnessed in this place, followed the deceased from his late residence to the place of interment, and every thing was done on the part of the community to evince its deep feeling for the loss it has sustained. All places of business and public entertainment were closed, the flags of the garrison and the shipping were flying at half mast; and minute guns were discharged from the barracks and the shipping as the procession moved from town. "It is not our intention to comment upon the historical merits of the deceased; a few brief remarks for the aformation of strangers will suffice. Captain LEIDESDORFF was of Danish parentage, but was a native of West Indies, and is supposed to have been about thirty six years of age at the time of his death. He was formerly well known as a merchant captain in the ports of New Orleans and New York, but for the alst seven years he has been in business on this coast where he has gained a high character for integrity, enterprize [sic], and activity. In private life he was social, liberal, and hospitable to an eminent degree, and in his attachments he was warm, cordial and confiding, even tot a fault. As a merchant and a citizen, he was generous, enterprizing [sic] and public spirited, and his name intimately identified with the growth and prosperity of San Francisco. It is no injustice to the living, or demeaning praise for the dead, to say that the town has lost its most valuable resident, and the feeling evinced by the community is an involuntary tribute to his merits as a man and citizen. His energy of character and business enterprizes [sic] have so blended his history with that of San Francisco, that all classes deplore his death as a great public calamity. While many mourn for his various social virtues, in Captain LEIDESDORFF the laboring classes of the community and the poor have lost a munificent patron and a generous friend.

"LEROY--San Francisco, January 16--Indications on the scene soon to be enacted at County jail today in the execution of Wright LEROY were early apparent. Both sides of the street were lined with people at 10 o'clock. At noon, neither pedestrian nor vehicle could pass the human barrier which filled Broadway stret, between Kearney and Montgomery, where the jail s located. Some 600 crowded into the yard. At 12:15, Jerry DRISCOLL, one of the under sherriffs, entered the murders cell, in which were already Father CONNOLLY and Deputy Sherriff Marion WILSON. DRISCOLL read the death warrant, to which LEROY listened attentively, without making remarks. Sherriff HOPKINS entered while the death warrant was being read. The word was given for :silence and hats off". The cell door opened and the doomed man, held up by the arm of Father CONNOLLY emerged. LEROY walked tottering up the few steps leading to the drop. Prayer was said by Father CONNOLLY and LEROY was stationed at his last standing place on earth. He trembled visably and his religious advisor reached out his arm to steady him. Straps were placed on his arms and legs and the rope adjusted. A final pull was given to the noose and the death signal was given. Death ensued in 11 minutes. Wright LEROY murdered Nicholas SKERRETT, a wealthy miser, in August, 1883. He was an exconvict wo received a discharge from prison a few months previous to the murder. He resided, formerly, in Oakland, where he was a very smart and shrewd attorney, but was detected in forging a number of deds to town lots and convicted to San Quentin for seven years."
