She admits that she chastised Lillian and has made the remark, “Al is innocent,” to Jailer White. It is not yet certain what use will be made of the woman as a witness, or whether she will be called by the prosecution or the de- fense. The proof of the legality of her marriage is still kept in the background by both the prisoners, who decline to dis- cuss the matter.

They have solicitors going all over the State collecting large sums of money which are mostly spent for the salaries of those running the society. The Oakland soclety has for its board of directors many of the leading minis- ters and merchants in this cltg‘. and, ac- cording to its president, is doing worl that saves the State thousands of dollars g‘er month. It {s managed by Rev. J. B. enderson, who is assisted by three ladies who solicit subscriptions all over the State for the soclety and are allowed 50 per cent commission for their salary and expenses. “I have perfect confidence in Mr. Hen- derson,” said President Sharp, “but I know that Rev. Mr. Danlels has frequent- ly made a demand for money on people With whom he has placed children. It is this system that has led to the report that home-finding societies sell children com- ing into their possession. I have here proof from Petaluma that Mr. Daniels placed a child with a family,demanded $50, and when it was not forthcoming the child | was turned over to us and we found it a There are several such instances which we can prove. Our society does not do this, and I believe Mr. Henderson is acting honestly and usefully. He Is ndt a disgraced minister, but is a member in good standing of the Methodist Confer- ence. Regarding anything he may have done at Angels Camp I know nothing. “The two children which it is sald we took from Sacramento I know nothing about, but I have no doubt that Rev. J. E.

ALAMEDA DEMURS TO A BIG DAMAGE SUIT LITIGATION OVER THE DEATH OF MRS. DAVOUST. Questio;: as to Who Was Responsible for the Wire That Burned Her to Death. OAKLAND, Dec. 14—The city of Ala- meda, through its attorney, Senator E. Taylor, filed a demurrer this after- noon to the complaint of Martial Davoust in his suit against the city, the Sunset Telephone and Telegraph Company and Pacific Postal Telegraph Company, brought recently for the recovery of $30,- 000 damages on account of the death of his young wife, which was caused by a live wire. The demurrer is very elaborate. Its first ground is the insufficiency of facts to constitute a cause. Another point is that the complaint is uncertain in that it cannot be ascertained therefrom which of the defendants stretched or maintained the ‘‘certaln wire,” or whether said wire was a telegraph, telephone or electric light wire; also that it does not specify which, if any, of the defendants ‘‘negli- remain upon the ground, or who devel- oped or conducted the electricity that heavily charged sald wire. The fact that the complaint does not specify what portion of the alleged dam- ages was the result of the loss of ser- vices and society of plaintiff’s wife, and what portion is claimed for the bodily and mental injuries sustained by plaintiff is another point urged in the demurrer. Also that two causes of action have been im- properly joined. And finally that there is a misjoinder of parties defendant, in that it appears from the complaint that each defendant was operating a separate sys- tem of wiring, supported by the same oles, that “a’ certain wire’” caused the njury, and It is apparent that as any one wire was maintained by one defendant only there is no cause for the joinder of the other two defendants. The city asks to be dismissed as a de- fendant. —————— ——— ONLY THIRTY DAYS. Short Sentence of F. B. Willey, a Con- victed Burglar. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, Dec. 14. F. B. Willey, a burglar of Kings county, was brought to the county jail to-night to be kept until he shall be taken to San Quentin. Willey considers himself one of the luckiest men in California. He has to serve a sentence of thirty days, the smallest sentence ever passed in Cali- fornia upon a conviction of burglary. Willey and a companion named Jose Estuardo were caught while engaged in a burglary. When arraigned Estuardo pleaded guilty and was sentenced to San Quentin for five years. Willey pleaded not guilty and put the State to the ex- pense of a trial, after which he was con- victed and, to the surprise of everybody, he was sentenced to thirty days in San Quentin, The deputy sheriff who is bringing Wil- ley to San Quentin says that the whole of Kings county is incensed at the action of Judge Dixon Phillips, who sentenced Wil- 1 He says it was confidently expected Estuardo’s sentence would be miti- gated in view of the fact that he pleaded gullty, instead of which he received the maximum penalty for burglary in the second degree. The prosecution was con- fident that with the conviction of Willey he would receive the same sentence as his pal, but to the surprise of the Dis- trict Attorney and the whole of the coun- ty, he was let off with thirty days. “It is not worth the expense of bring- ing him to the State's prison,” said the deputy, and Willey jocularly says that ;.):'e trip is an agreeable excursion for m. ————— Halpin’s Death.
