If she still persists in ignoring the summons of the court when she is called to the stand, a bench warrant will issue and she is very liable to be pun- ished for empt of court.

THINKS MME. MONTAGUE IS “INSANE OR WORSE” JUDGE HARVEY BROWN ON OAK- LAND’S SENSATION. He Says the Letters Published Do Not Bear Out His Understand- ing of the Yates Di- vorce Suit. Oskland Office San Francisco Cali, 908 Broadway, Feb. 21 The story of the divorcing of Mme. Mon- | <ague Yates and her husband against their Wishes and the strongly worded letters from their Montreal home published in to-day’s Call was the sensation of the hour in this city. The lady’s assertion that she is the victim of an outrage and that the secret of the consipracy is known to only three people, two of whom reside 4n Oakland, caused much interest among the members of the bench and bar. Mme. Montague is the cleverest woman that has been in this city for many years. Just how clever she is is now dawning n those left behind. The madame's oorrespondence to her friends in Oakland and San Francisco is of the most contra- dictory nature, and is more mystifying than some of the mystic doctrine taught | by the lady. This evening Judge Harvey Brown gave the following explanation of the romantic affair: S w2 ek - . i “] am ordinarily averse to appearing -4n the newspapers,’ said Judge Brown, “but under the circumstances I feel it a duty to state my exact connection with the divorce case between Mme. Montague and her husband. “Some three and a half years ago she epplied to me to commence such.a suit. I declined on the ground that both were acquaintances and friends, and I was un- willing to have anything to do with the case. Subsequently some one introduced dura mater | n the examintation of | decree obtained in her favor, in ‘order | that she thight apply to the authorities in case he should return and disturb her. “We did furnish the money to take the trip to England. Some little time after bis departure we commenced talking about bringing thé divorGg7suit to trial, but cne or two important witnesses were out of the State and we determined to await their return. “About laet October it was_concluded, in consequence of Mme. Montague's health, to give her a vacation, and that it was best for her to take & trip to the Eastern States. About the middle of that month she told me that her husband was on his way out here via the Canadlan Pacific Railroad. Shortly after that she reported that he was in British Columbia staying with some relatives; that she de- sired to leave here before he could reach Oakland, as she did not wish to see him. “Shortly after that she told me that, according to her calculations, he would be here between the 20th and 25th of No- vember and that he would come with his brother, who was in command of a col- lier. She was anxious to start East be- fore that time, and she did leave here on the evening of the 20th of November last. | | few days before starting I suggested | that she was golng to be absent a number of months and as the witnesses had not yet returned that her deposition had bet- ter be taken before leaving and that | when the witnesses arrived the: be examined and a_decree obtal {ing her absence. She did not make the | | slightest objection. On the contrary, she | | hunted up papers and letters were looked | for which were introduced in_evidence, | | and she went before the commissioner | and_gave her testimony voluntarily and | gladly to all human appearances. | “Very unexpectedly Mr. de Golla called | me to the witness stand and a_few ques- | tions were propounded to me. Everything | that was done in the way of having her | testimony taken was in accordance with | the agreement made at the time wo agreed to furnisheq the money to her husband with which to go to England. 1 was never more gurprised in my life than when I read in The Call that power- ful influences had been brought to bear upon her to give her testimony.

She sald ‘Nothing.” Said I, ‘Why do you commence such a suit as that and not have it tried? She replied that she w. afraid to; afraid that he would kill her; that cn the day the papers were served on him he rushed into her room, caught Ter by the throat, choked her and had murder in his eye. _““Things passed along without any fur- ‘ther comment until some thirteen or four- teen months since, when the captain, her _husband, came to Oakland and stayed, I ““ghould judge, about three weeks. She complained that he was threatening in his manner and made her life a burden, and one evening she came to myself and - another gentleman wringing her hands and crying, and asked us to advance money to pa the expenses of her hus- band to England, or else she feared that he would murder her; that he had threat- . ened her life and hiS own; that he had talked about shooting in her presence and in the presence of Mrs. Price, her com- anion, and that only the day before he ad come into her room, locked the door, and from his conduct she thought that her time had come. “Mrs. Price was brought into the con- sultation, and she too Wwas very much rightened, and feared that unless he was Zent away the madame would lose her m‘?jar:er full consultation it was agreed that we would furnish the money to pay his expenses to England and keep him there about a month, and that for her protection in case of hjs return the di- Vpece suit should be prosecuted and a OAKLAND, Feb. 21L.—Mrs. A.

All kinds of subterfuges are proposed by which the law may be beaten, but the developments in the case of Howard Wright have proved that it is not always safe to at- tempt to evade the law, and there is con- | sternation on the streets. The candidates who declare they suffer most from the limit placed on their ex- penditures are the candidates for the Council. They are limited to a total ex- penditure of $8. putting cards in the newspapers and for 2 contribution to the campaign fund.

It is declared that If the sec- tion limiting expenditures were carried to the Supreme Court it would be declared unconstitutional. There are laws already | covering every ppssible form of bribery and corrupt use of money in campaigns, and it is argued that if a man wishes to spend legitimately a thousand dollars on advertising his campaign he cannot be restrained from doing so.

Would Not Have Spoken, but Is Anxious to Be Set Right for the Sake of Her Children. & - Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Feb. 21. Mrs. Jennie Montgomery has at last glven her version of the alleged acid- throwing on her husband’s face while he slept, and it differs very materially from the story told by Montgomery. She says she {s compelled to explain for the sake of the children. “I used nefther pistol, horsewhip nor acid as a means of revenge,” sald Mrs. Montgomery. ‘“For the sake of our two children I would not harm a hair of his head. This poor life of mine is all I wished to destroy, thinking at the time | it was superfluous. If acid got on his | eyelld or face it was purely accidental. It was painful, I am sure, as I found it so in my own case. ““As for sleep, thers was no sleepin, done in our house from 1 o'clock unti after 6, either by children or other occu- pants of the house. “A drunkard or tippler I am not, nor ever was. 1 was born and raised in Oak- land and have many friends who have known me from my birth and would not let me rest under this stigma. I cannot think my husband even said this. I think he was Surely misrepresented in the mat- ter, or if he spoke of drink at all he was | not thinking of me. “As for the parents of Miss Kuchs, T feel the deepest sympathy for them, es- pectally for the mother. I myself have g:flered much and know how to feel for em. ““And as for the girl herself, at this| time, I feel nothing but sorrow. Her mem- | ory, though, I fear Is poor. But, per- haps, this, too, 1§ a_newspaper misrepre- sentation. I think she must have said: ‘T have not seen Mr. Montgomery for several days' (not weeks), for at the time of our last meeting she at least displayed the merit of truthfulness. “As for being in hiding, I have been ab- sent but a few hours from my home from the time of my husband’s departure.” Montgomery is progressing very favor- ably and may yet regain his eyesight. Mrs. Montgomery's explanation does not state how the acid got on her husband's eyes, which was found on them by the physicians at the hospital STUDENTS TO HONOR LIEUTENANT CALKINS U. C.
