McCoy, the director of what was once the famous Congregational Sunday-school orchestra, and Wuo was one of the prime wovers of the Alameda County Musicians’ Club, is very indigaant at the publication of a notice that the ciub had broken up because members could not afford to patronize a barquet that would costa doliar a plate. The ciub was oily recently formed, and embraces most of the piominent mu- [t has only been sicians in the county. in existence a month, and a creat futare was predicted ior it. The first banquet was set for last Thursday evening at the Hotel Metropole, and two days previously the announcement appeared that the club had broken up, and thav the reason for its sudden death was that the cost of the tickets was too bigh. “Such a statement was altogether false and without foundation,”’ said Professor McCoy to-day. *“Who dares say that the Alameda County musicians cannot afford to pay & doilar 2 plate ior a good dinner? Itisa calumny. The club banquet was formally postponed and I made the mo- tion. We had the very best reason for postponing it.

Bennett, a Ma- chinist, Attempts to Kill His Divorced Wife. Hé Slashes Her Throat Twice and Then Tries to Stab Her Through the Heart. Being Prevented He Turns the Knife Upon Himself and Drives It Into His Throat. James G. Bennett, a machinist living at 518 Stevenson street, in a fit of insane jealousy attempted to kill his divorced wife yesterday morning at 14 McAllister ~treet by cutting her throat with a pocket- knie and then slasbed bis own throat. It is expected that both will recover. Lhe couple were married in Santa Bar- bara’ about seven years ago, she at that James G. Bznnett, the Woisld-Be Murderer, and His Victim. time being a widow. She was on a visit to some fiiends there and met Benneit. They came to this city and Bennett worked at his trade of a machinist. He has been recently employed at th: eleva- tor works of W. F. Holman 212 Fremont street. = They did not live happily together, owing to Bennetts jealous disposition. He used to beat her and threatened to kill her. She left him on three diffsrent occasions, but returned to bim on his premise to behave himself. About fwo yvears apo, while she was living at 704 O'Farrell street, away from bim, he engaged a room 1n the house, en~ m and rippea up all her dresses. be chased her out of the hou-e with a razor in his band. He was arrested for threats against her life, but the case was dismissed on his agreement not to mo est her again. In February iast she obtained a divorce from him and resumed her former name of Mrs, Villa White. He continued to persecute her and she had several times to change her place of residence. About three weeks ago she engaged room 64, on the fifth floor of the building, 14 McAllister street, and started a mani- cure and cosmetic business. Her ambi- tion was to become a member of the medi- cal profession and she was studying with Dr. Brown, She imagined she had eluded Benunett's vigilance, but she was mistaken. Friday night, between 8 and 9 o’clock, e went to her root and tried to break in the door, threatening to kill Ler. The janitors wife ordered him away ana Mrs. Bennett went to the Central police station and told Lieutenant Birdsall that she was afraid of ner life, Thelieutenantdetailed an officer to guard the house all night. Shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday morn- ing Bennett returned to the house and went straight to her room. The door was open and she was talking with Mrs. Stimpson, a dressmaker, who occupies the adjoining room. He put his arms around her and asked her to live with him again. She refused, and remarking: “'In a few minutes we shall be out of ail sutfering,” he drew the big blade of a pocket-kni! across her throat. She screamed, and Mr=. Stimp:on threw open the window and also screamed for help. Mrs. Bennett struggled to get away from him and got into the passage. She tried to reach the elevator, and grasped the knife in her hand, cutting it severely. Bennett again drew the knife across her throat and tried to plunge the blade into her heart se’ 1 times, but sue protected it with her hands, which were badly cat. They both fell close to the elevator, and just then Officer T. J. Coleman, who is at- tached to the Pacitic Coast Society for the Suppression of Vice and has an ot!i% on the second floor, dragged Benneti %iway from his victim. Coleman fought des- perately to get possession of the knife, but Bennett, who is a poweriul man, was too much for him, and he ran the knife into hisown throat. Several men stood looking on, and appeared to be too fright- ened to give the officer any essistance. The smbulance was summoned and Bennett and: his wife were taken to the Receiving Hospital. Dr. J. F. Kear- ney stitched and dressed their wounds, The doctor stated that if Mrs. Bennett's wound had been slightly extended the juguiar vein would have been severed and nothing, could have saved her. As it was several blood vessels hud been cut, and siie was in a serious condition from loss of blood. Bennett's wouud is not serious. A charge of assault to murder was booked at the City Prison against Bennett, who expressed his regrei that he was not in the Morgue instead of the Receiving Hospital. Mrs. Bennett denied absolutely that Bennett ever had any cause to be jealous of her. She is about 30 years of age and he is six years her sanior. . el e They Were Known at Santa Cruz SANTA CRUZ, Car, Oct. 9.—Mrs.Vilia B2nneit, whose husband attempted to murder her in S8an Francisco to-day, for- merly resided here, and married her first husband, Leslie, in this city.
