Klondiker Goes Free Because of No Evidence That He Committed | Crime in Seattle. Oakland Office San Francisco Call %8 Broadway, Jan. 3L | D. A. McFayden, the Klondiker, who | was arrested last Saturday on a telegram | from Seattle, was again released this af- ternoon on a writ of habeas corpus. Mec: en, according to the telegram, is charged with “larceny by embezzling’ $1685 belonging to Phil Hampton. Yester- day McFayden, by his attorney, T. F. Garrity ed out a writ of habeas corpus, | which after a tedious hearing, was grant. | ed by Judge Ellsworth on the ground | that there is no law authorizing a Jus- tice of the Peace In one State directing the peace officers of another State to ‘ar- | rest any person. No sooner had McFay- den been released than Detectives Shorey | and Hodgkins rearrested him on a charge of being a fugitive from justice, preferred by Hodgkins. Late last night McFayden was released on a certified check for $1000 bafl, fur- nished by W. W. Watson, Dr. F. J. Todd and J. J. Carroll, and this morning Lin Church, as attorney for McFayden, sued out a_second writ of habeas corpus be- | fore Judge Hall, who in once morg re- | leasing the prisoner decided an impoftant | point. 1 The telegram on which McFayden was | arrested stated that the laiter was charged before a Seattle Justice with the crime of “larceny embezzlement,” as did also the affidavit of Detective Hodgkins, Judge Hall decided, under citations of- fered by Attorney Church, that this is not sufficient; that the prisoner cannot be held even awaiting extradition papers, | unless there is some evidence that a crime | has been committed, and, moreover, the | crime must be actually charged. There- fore, since the affidavit declares that Mc- Fayden is a fugitive from justice and al- Jeges that he is charged with crime but in redlity does not charge him, he was re- leased. It was stated from the District Attor- ney's office that no further effort will be made to hold McFayden. The latter is a resident of East Oakland, where he has a wife and child. He returned recently from Dawson City, where he owns one of the largest saloons. He vigorously denies Hampton's charge and swears that he never knew his accuser to possess $1685. —————— Asks for Change of Venue.

Mrs. HER DENIAL A MYSTERY OBTAINED A DECREE OVER A MONTH AGO. When the Lady Went East She Said | It Was to Be Reunited to Her Husband, Who Was Waiting for Her. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Jan. 3L Mme. Elise Montague-Yates is free to marry whomsoever she pleases. It was discovered to- that a decree of divorce had been granted her, and that it was filed a month ago, but so quietly was it all done that the Oakland Psychic Society s not aware that its high priestess was an interesting divorcee. The proceedings in this case have been | mysterious throughout, and Mme. Mon- tague, who, it is now said, is in Europe, could undoubtedly give an interesting ex- planation of the whole matter. ‘When she left Oakland several weeks | ago there was a very affecting scene at | the Sixteenth-street depot, and the madame was assuring her friends that | there was no truth whatever in the story that she was anxious to be divorced. She sald with tears in her eyes that it was all a cruel, horrid statement- and tbat she loved her hubby and anticipated no greater pleasure than joining him in the East. The madame denied that she nad given her sensational testimony, which was partly published, and in her sweet tones with her attractive French accent she authorized one of her intimate ac- quaintances to publish a denial of the whole story. | Since going East the madame's attor- neys have followed out her wishes, one of her influential friends has exerted his in- fluence, and there now stands of record a judgment showing that on December 23 of last year Mme. Montague Yates was released from the bonds of matrimony for the reason that her husband for four vears has not contributed to her support, has not exercised the privileges and rights of his position, and has practically been a deserter from his wife's home during all of that time. The great pressure brought to bear on Mme. Montague to get her divorce, even against her own wishes, as she stated to her friends, has invested the incident with much public interest, as the celebrated | lecturess has a State reputation among psychologists. The granting of the di- | vcree is all the more peculiar because the report was so industriously circulated at the time of her departure that her hu band was in a lucrative position with a Canadian railroad, and that they were to be reunited. All of these tales were false, and the story of the madame’s romantic life and attempt to secure a divorce which extended over ee years and which were published in full in The Call | 1ast December, are absolutely verified by the records. Since the madame's departure the Oak- land Psychic Society has gone out of ex istence, and the only remnant of it now to be found is when a few of the members gather together and gossip about their | late leader's varied and mysterlous ex- periences in this cf REVIVAL OF GOLDSMITH. Professor Syle Expects to Present an Eighteenth Century Comedy Be- fore an Academic Audience. BERKELEY, Jan. —Professor Loyis Dupont Syle qf the English department of the University of California is prepar- ing to present an eighteenth century comedy in the university town before long. The drama_selected is Goldsmith's “A Good Natured Man,” of which Pro- fessor Syle has made a special adaptation.

OAKLAND, Jan. 3L—Willlam Willis Judge, one of the oldest employes of the Southern Pacific Company, died 4t his home on Franklin street last evening. Everybody in the employ of the company has heard of Willlam Judge, who has been a faithful servant for nearly thirty vears. For a long time he was employed on the rallroad’s wharves in San Francisco, and has been in charge of some very intricate undertakings in the mechanical depart- ment of the cnmpan{.

LOONEY WAS NOT BADLY ‘ ENSNARED BY GRACE H ONLY $5 OF GOOD COIN. ; PARTED WIT! Humorous Witness at the Trial of Marriage Schemers Bain and « Allison. The trial of the Allison-Bain combina- tion in the United States District Court for using the mails with intent to defraud was resumed yesterday before Justice de Haven. The monotony of the proceed- ings was relieved by W. E. Looney, an- other prospective victim of -the matri- monial schemers. He made a voluble and fagetious witness, and gave his an- swers fo the attorneys in a short, snappy way, as if he regarded the matter as a huge joke. He is entirely different from J. L. Duprey, the aged vicetim, who acts in a funereal, matter of fact way during his examination. Duprey was a little forgetful about the | irterviews he had with his fair charmer. Several more of his letters were produced in evidence, and one in particular, where he answered the questions on the printed circular, was amusing. He filled in the blanks to the effect that he was consid- ered handsome. by his friends, was healthy, not much of a singer, but could dance splendidly. Considering that Du- prey is a man of sixty years this caused a ripple of laughter throughout the court room. He thought Mrs. Allison had too much money—a little less would have suf- ficed. He had never made a personal ap- lication to get his presents back, but Kis lawyers had done so. The piano was returned to him, but the drapery cover he had not as yet received. In the afternoon Looney was placed on the stand and did not mince words in his replies. He testified to seeing the per- sonal in a Seattle paper in Skaguay re- arding Grace Allison, receiving a circu- ar in reply to his letter to Bain’s matri- monial agency. In it the charms of the fair Grace were minutely described. When Looney came to this city in August last he refused to treat with the agency, say- ing that he was competent to do his own courting. _After interviewing the lady he informed Bain, who was known to him as Curtis, that he must have stretched His imagination a little bit in describing her beauty. Incidentally Looney parted with $ as a registratign fee in the matrimonial concern, for which he’ received a receipt produced in evidence. He asked Bain to return the coin later, but this the latter refused to do. Looney said he was also in communlca- tion with a New York agency in the same line as Bain's at that perlod, and had also answered several %rsonnlu of like tenor to Mrs. Allison's. hen he went to see her in her apartments at 415 Jones street, Bain desired to accompany him, but Looney would not have it that way. After he was ushered into the presence of the lady, Looney said they had some lcohversatlon. part of which was as fol- ows: : About the first question she asked of Looney was, “‘Are you a wealthy man?” Looney replied that it did not matter, since she had stated in her correspond- f,“ffi that she had money enough for oth. Then the slangy Grace sald, *“Well, T rvnulvd}y't marry & man who was ‘on the 0g. After a little more talk, during waich.| the Allison woman became angry, she flounced up and said, “I want you to know that I am no red stocking.” Looney replied, “I don’t care what color stock- ings you wear,” and indulged in further repartee which he gleefully related. Looney denied the impeachment that he was looking for a woman with money, al- though he had no particular objection to Ler having a little. He also denled that he had ever been in hiding to prevent himself from being a witness In the case. 7Tax Collector Sheehan was put on tne stand to testify as to Mrs. Allison being on the assessment roll or not, but when he was interrogated on the point Attor- ney Crowley for the defendants inter- posed an objection, which was sustalned by the court, who held that the evidence was material. The case will be resumed this morning, when F. Schenck, another gullible indi- vidual, will go on the stand. ————————— HOTEL ARRIVALS. GRAND HOTEL.
