The fate of Anna Mentel, who shot her Mentel, in Alameda on December 1 o ast year, will proba bly be determined by the jury to-morrow aft | T urder trial apparently possesses | but little of the quality of that morsel so much sought after by the ordinary court- room frequenter. Though both prosecu- tion and represented by fer some of the foren ttorneys, the trial has been thus far abs devoid of those nice tect itie objec- | tions and spicy morse sensational testimony usually anticipated at such trials. | When the trial was resumed this morn- ing the accused, a mere girl, was accom- | ed by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. | olph Men and a - sister, and hroughout the tedious examination of | es she sat quietly by her attor- neys, W. W. Foote, Guy C. Earl and Lafe Pence, listening apparently indiffer- ent and hardly realizing the seriousness of her crime. During the day the prosecution put on the d its remaining wit- L._Ansel, brother-in-law of the deceased; Gillogly, conductor of the electr! Mrs. Mentel halied on that fateful night; Miss M. L.

Shreve, in front of whose home in Alameda the shooting occurred, and James F. Fowler, Deputy Coroner ‘at Alameda, who removed Men- tel’s remains to the Morgue. | But in the main the testimony was prac- | tically a reiteration of that given at the preliminary hearing. However, John An- Eel de one contradiction. At the pre- liminary hearing he had stated that Mentel was unmarrie now he testified he was married. Jenkins was slightly dgered by Attorney Foote, for the de- fense. He swore that he saw Mentel lying on the sidewalk, with one hand in his pocket, so that the knuckles were not exposed, while erday John Conrad testifled the knuckles were exposed. At 3 o'clock the prosecution rested ‘Attorney Foote, on behalf of the def announced that he would be ready to sub- mit the case to the jury to-morrow. He would e his instructions submitted early In the forenoon, and consented to the instructions being given orally. The defense then introduced a certified copy of the marriage license and affidavit made by deceased when he applied at the Santa Clara County Clerk’s office for the li o_the letter written by Mentel Judge J. W.

Upon her testi- mony and that of J. M. Shilue, Deputy County Clerk at San Jose, the defense banks great hopes. The latter is the one | before whom Mentel made his_affidavit end to whom Mentel had stated that he wished the fact of “his marriage kept quiet for a while because he intended to ekip out.”” In this affidavit Mentel swears that he and the girl were residents of San Rafael, when a matter of fact neither eve . and, moreover, he gave his r nton. The only interest centered about ?r cloge of the trial is the fact that ex- 'ongressman Lafe Pence, known as the “silver-tongued orator of Colorado,” will use his argumentative abilities in behalf of the girl >quittal before the jury. DOMESTIC POSES AS ‘ NAPOLEON'S DAUGHTER RUEER STORY OF MRS. LOTTIE JANE GOSSETT. Committed to'an Asylum Because She Imagines She Is Heir to Millions. eE SR | OAKLAND, April 5—Mrs. Lottle Jane | Gossett was committed to the Napa In- gane Asylum to-day. She is a domestic, mged 38 years, and was divorced from her husband several years ago. Her ex-hus- band is now in Wyoming and has custody of their 17-year-old son, while her daugh- | ter, of whom she had custody, is attend- 4ng school in Portland, Or. The unfor- tunate woman tells a remarkablg story. Mrs. Gossett says she is_the qaughter of one of the Napoleons and that as such ghe is helr to $5,000,000; that she has been trying since 1893 to raise money enough to take her to Paris to lay her claims to the fortune, but she has been unable to_realize her transportation. She says she met Victor Napoleon in Chicago during the world’s fair; that he recognized her as his cousin and prom- | dsed to take her back with him. He told her that his brother's wife had been ab- ducted from Paris and taken to this country, where a child was born to her, | n.]nfldhe recognized ‘Mrs. Gossett as that | child. Mrs. Gossett came to Oakland recently, and being without funds, found shelter at the Chabot Home. Miss Kellogg, of | that institution, after listening, to her | story, asked the local police to arrest the Woman on suspicion of insanity. | —————————— THANKED THE JURORS. | | B R eBIGIRIG S RG> B BB | Brandes’ Attorney Expresses Grati- tude for the Recent Verdict. OAKLAND, April 5.—There is now gome doubt in the minds of W. A. Brandes' attorneys, Messrs.

The Australian Was Late and Found a Warrant Waiting for Him in Judge Quinn’s Court. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, April 5. The record was broken in Alameda County to-day, when a criminal case was rushed to trial. The racetrack never put up such a speedy contest as was wit- nessed in Judge Quinn's court in the case |involving the embezzlement of the horses Yellowtall and Sam McKeever. Fred Foster was charged with the fel- ony embezzlement of the horses, which A. Howard, the ‘“plunger,” declared be- longed to him. Ordinarily there would be at least two continuances before such a | case could be sfarted on {ts way through the court.

Frick indignantly declined. Judge Frick refused to discuss the matter to-night, but said that he shall certainly prefer charges to-morrow with the Police Commissioners of San Francisco against one of its best-known detectives. MRS, FRISBIE'S SECRET WILL NOT BE TOLD Died After a Visit to Grand Jurors. INMATE OF AN INFIRMARY ONCE WEALTHY BUT FILLS A PAUPER'S GRAVE. Friends of Former Years Will See That Her Dying Request About Her Sepulcher Is Car- ried Out. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %S Broadway, April 6. The death of Mrs. Frisbie at the County Hospital a few days ago has closed a secret which she partly confided to the Grand Jury recently. Mrs. Frisble has been at the hospital some years and her observations on certain matters were laid such importance that some recommenda- tions based upon them will be included in the Grand Jury report. What Mrs. Frisbie told will perhaps never be known, on atcount of her death, because she was to have returned at a later date and completed her narrative. Mrs. Frisble was some years &g0 a wealthy woman and, with her husband, owned property valued at $30,000 in Ne- vada City. For fourteen years she was housekeeper at Tony Oakes’ celebrated old resort at Haywards, which enjoyed a State reputation.

The complain- ing witness, Howard, was absent, and the people had not a single thing to present except the reading of the warrant. Some one—just who cannot be discovered—told Howard that the case would go over and that he need not be present. Believing this, Howard was not in court. Judge Quinn, anxious to oblige the pros- eeution, did everything possible to keep the case moving until Constable Weidler witness. In turn, District Attorney Allen, his chiet Deputy, Harry Melvin, J. J. Dunn and W. W. Foote all consented to appear for the prosecution, but being unable to secure a continuance withdrew from the case. G. Samuels, another deputy of the District Attorney’s office, was then sent for, as his superiors had to go to court to con- duct a murder trial. Samuels secured a continuance for fifteen minutes to consult with the witness only to find that there were none. There being no evidence, the court dis- missed the charge against Foster. A few minutes later Howard was brought in by the deputy. He said that the horses which had been taken from Emeryville by Fos- ter were his,’as he had given Foster the money with which to purchase them. He had no proof of this statement, which was contradicted by Foster. A. J. Waterhouse testified that he had | gold the horse Yellowtall to Foster for | $10,000. As soon as Howard left the witness stand he was served with a warrant for perjury, based upon his allegation in com- | blaints which he had sworn to against i‘os!er. In the same breath Judge Quinn released the $10,000 bonds in which How- ard had had Foster held and demanded $5000 bonds from Howard on Foster's charge. Howard was taken to the County Jail, and sent out some friends to dig up $5000. Howard came from Australla some months ago with all kinds of money. He used it freely and was considered one of the most agreeable things at the track. He declares that he was used so long as he could be drawn upon by a certain clique, and that now his horses have been taken from him, while he is put in jail. The sympathy of most of the horsemen at the track is with Howard, An international conference will be held in London next month to take steps to protect the wild game in Africa. s for the prosecution, boys” knew Mrs. Frisble in Tony Oakes | halcyon days and had many of her friends | known that she was an inmate of the hos- pital they would undoubtedly have come to her relief.

Alameda Office San Francisco Call, 1428 Park street, April 5.

Then, again, before the salary can be raised, and advantage might be taken of this to sub- stitute other names than those of the incumbents. Councilman Cuvellier proposed that the Councilmen return 25 per cent of as unanimous. The Mayor had already signified his willingness to return his pro rata to the treasury. The feature of the evening was the speech of Manager Britton of the gas “We learn from the Mayor,” he said, us to agree to a change In the contract that will permit of a reduction of $6743 50 during the next three months by cutting off a large percentage of the lights.

BERKELEY, April 5.—It is barely pos- | sible that the University of (.‘aH[m‘niai football team may line up against Har- vard some time during the next football season. 8. L. Fuller, manager of the Harvard team, is now in communication with Football Manager lr\'lui J. Muma over the matter, and nothing but the ex- ceedingly great difficulty of sending the California men East during the scason | will prevent it. 1f it is possible for the | Harvard men to come West the match | will certainly be played. | A letter has n received from Cam- | bridge as follow CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 30. Manager University of California Football Team, Berkeley, Cal.—Dear Sir: Would it be possible to arrange a football ‘game between | Harvard and the University of California in Cambridge this fall? I would like to play you here on October 21 i you would consider favor- ably the project of coming East. I would like | to hear from you favorably in regard to this | matter, and also what proposition in regard to guarantee you would consider fair. —Yours very truly, 8. L. FULLER. | As far as going East iIs concerned Man- ager Muma fears that such a course will | hardly be possible. The fact that Berke- | ley does not begin her training season till September would make it out of the question to have a team in ;)ruper shape by the date named in the Harvard let- ter. Even should that difficulty be over- | come, to send the California team away | in October would seriously cripple the | chances of the blue and gold in the next | big Thanksglving game with Stanford. To go after the big game would be too | late, as the California men could not re- turn in time for the close of the college term. Football Manager Muma will Iorw:\rd‘ these explanations to Harvard, at the | same time urging an alternative proposal | that the Harvard men come West. He | will try to arrange for a match some time during the week following Thanks- giving. BERKELEY FRESHMEN DISRESPECTFUL IN CLASS | THEY STAMP TO ANNOY THE PROFESSORS. | A Sensational Letter in the College Daily Paper Complains of the Conduct of the Under Classmen. BERKELEY, April 5—The freshman class of the University of California has been called to account for its behavior toward its professors, It is said that in- stead of the respectful, deferential atti- tude usually observed by students toward instructors and which ought to be borne by the young disciples toward those who lead them into the ways of knowledge, they have behaved like bad grammar school children, impatient of restraint and ever ready to be annoying. To some of the venerable heads of the depart- ments, whose gray hairs alone shbuld command respect, and whase lifelong re- searches and _investigations into the depths of their subjects unfit them to stand over their classes as pedagogues to maintain discipline, they are charged with having shown uncalled-for discourtesy and disrespect. Nor has it been found that a year's sojourn in the classic halls of the university works any change in this regard, but that, on the contrary, a turbulent spirit manifests itself as much now as ev One of their own number, sorely grieved at the conduct of his classmates, has raised a warning volce. Like a prophet of old he has risen in their midst to point the finger of rebuke. He has told tnem publicly just how they have been acting, nor *does he shrink from calling them ) rowdies and other hard names. He com- plains_that their rowdyism is not to be classed as legitimate college fun; that it is exceedingly unbecoming to them as gentlemen, and that they interfere with the good and bright freshmen who are anxious to make marks and get along. ———————— Bowling Club Organized.
