Anna SHOT IN SELF DEFENSE e TRIAL FOR MURDER SOON CON- CLUDED. After She Was Betrayed by Her Hus- band She Took His Life in Order to Bave Her Own. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %08 Broadway, April 6. Anna Mentel is not a murderess. She did right when she shot her unnatural husband on the streets of Alameda last December. This afternoon the jury justi- fled her action, convinced by her simple story of the tragedy, told between her obs and under the guidance of W. W. Foote, one of her attorneys. It one of the quickest of trials. Compared with the tedious Brandes case it was phenomenally quick. There was not a single challenge of a juror for cause, not a word of cross-examination Lil A &l has hung over Anna Mentel for four months d%d not take long in the telling. Had not the tears flowed so freely it could have been told in ten minutes—it did not occupy more than fifteen. It was clear and logical and carried with it the burden of truth. There was no one to contradict it, and what facts were obtainable helped to bear it out. In a few words it was the story of a good girl deceived by a false suitor, of betrayal, of a secret marriage, dishonor, threatened desertion and death, conclud- ing with murder and attempted suicide. And this was_her story: “l am Anna Mentel. 1 was married to William Mentel in San Jose October 2 ot last year. After our marriage we came back to San Francisco and Te- turned home the next day. : nev lived in San Rafael nor did ~ Mentel ever live there. Under promise of marriage I consented to live with him as his wife, but he showed no [ e to carry out his promise. 1 was geriously sick at a hospital and he prom- ised me that when I recovered we should be married. One night on Ellis street he said he would throttie me. He struck me and would have struck me again had not a man pased by. One evening we met on Powell street. I asked him to talk about our affai He said that he did not want to bother with me at all. I wanted to know about our marriage. He sald he had to catch the boat to Alameda and told me to go there with him. He disappeared at the ferry and the boat had almost reached the mole when I found Mr. Mentel stand- | ing on the front part of the boat. When he saw me he made an attempt to run aw; but I caught him. “When the boat stopped we got off and took the train for Alameda. That was the first time I was ever in Alameda in my life. We got off at some street, but I don’t know where. I asked him what he was going to do with me and asked for our marriage license. He became angry and used hard words, calling me vile names and threatening that if I mention- ed marriage again he would brain me. I demanded justice of him and he laughed at my pleading, telling me that marriage was a farce and that he did not believe in it. T told him I would walit no longe: [ Bt s s ot o ol e o ) v @odeo e of the witnesses for the defense, not a | that I wanted to know right then what single objection made or exception taken, not a word of argument from either side, not a single written instruction handed to the court. There was proof offered that a man h: the young woman who fired the pistol and the verdict; nothing more. The verdict was tot a surprise. Since the story of the tragedy was first told by Anna Mentel in the Recelving Hospital no one expected a conmviction. On the fatal night, while the doctors were re- dressing_the wounds in her head through which she had fired the bullet that she hoped would end her life, she confess to her unhappy secret marriage and the result, and she repeated the facts to the Jury this morning. When court opened Attorney Foote made a short address to the jury. He said the defense would. prove that Anna Mentel was a good, home-loving girl and that until she became infatuated with the deceased her life was innocent and guile- less. Under a promise of marriage a smooth villain wrecked her life and then he hesitated to carry out his promise. He ad been killed, the explanation of | forced her to consent to iliegal methods | to conceal the wrong he had done and | thus added murder to his perfidy. This man entered into the solemn covenant of marriage with no intention of keeping it, and shortly afterward he took steps to desert his young wife and go East. He repudiated the marriage and heaped the bitterest humiliation upon his wife unti] she in a moment of anger, smarting from his blows, weak from his crueity and mentally unbalanced from his persistent cowardice, undertook to defend herself. Outraged humanity asserted itself, Mentel fell and the young girl tried to end her existence. The defense then placed Deputy County Clerk Shflue of San Jose on the stand. He it was who issued the marriage license to Mentel. He told of Mentel's anxiety to have the matter kept secret, because golintende(l to skip out and desert the Tl The story that removed the cloud that =3 WOMAN 1HE-HOE was developed in Superfor Judge The parties were married in Ala- her Switzerland lover they removed to continued Mrs. Kirchofer, “my woods with him, sawing down trees planted hoe and work in the patch.

He said if I referred to the matter again he would kill me. I was afraid and told him that I would go and tell his sis- ter and try to get justice at her hands.

The pistol was in. this pocket, was it not, and you took it out and fired? “Did_vou know whom you were firing at, or did you fire in the air?” “I shot in the air somewhere, but T sup posed he was there.” | “Do you remember what you did after- | ard?” Did you shoot yourself?' “I think T did. 1 was so excited and so nearly insane that I did not know what I was doing.

It was my father's pistol.” said the wit- ness, “and I took It a short time after my marriage for self-protection, because Mr. Mentel beat me and threatened to kil me.” | The prosecution had no desire to cross- | examine the witness, and sobbing &he was led from the stand by Mr. Foote. Adolph_Beth, the_ defendant's _father, told briefly of his daughter's home life. He sald he never knew Mentel: that Anna was always quiet and always at home, and he had implicit confldence in her. He was case ended. Counsel on both sides expressed a de- sire to have no argument, and nelther side wished to submit any written in- structons to the court. Judge Hall read the statutory instruc- tions to the jury at 11 o'clock. The jury did not return at noon, and lunch ‘was ordered for it. A few minutes after court met for the afternoon session the jurors returned with the verdict exonerating the defendant. Mr. Foote shook hands with his voun client and congratulated her, a couple o minutes was passed in hand-shaking between the attorneys and the girl’s relas tives, and after Mr. Foote had exprossed his gratitude to the jury the incident was closed.

Attorney Frick said to-day that he will not deny that money had been offered him to throw his client down, but he posi- tively refused to make any statement of details, as it _would not help his case. He stated further that at the proper time everything would be made public. —_———— St. Paul’s Benefit.

Mother Deeded Away Valuable Prop- erty for a Pittance, and Suits ‘Will Be Instituted to Re- cover It. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, April 6. Henry Collins, aged 36 years, was com- mitted to the Stockton Insane Asylum this afternoon by Superior Judge Greene. His commitment closes a chapter in the biography of a whole family of heredi- tary imbeciles. The Collins household until ‘a few years ago comprised Mrs. Mary Collins, her feeble-minded husband, two sons and two daughters, and the ag- gregation for many years was the terror of the residents in the vicinity of Eighth and Madison streets. Yet, withal, they accumulated a fortune that reached close to $20,000, consisting principally of choice real estate on Eighth street, reaching from Alice to Madison. A few years ago the head of the house died suddenly and in February, 1897, a son, Willie, and a daughter died in the Napa Insane Asylum. And only last year | Mrs. Collins followed them to the grave, | leaving as survivors the son, Henry, and a daughter, Mary O'Rourke. Just_prior to her death Mrs. Collins deeded away most of her property for a mere pittance. One plece, valued at the time at $6000, she gave away for $300. What remained was worth about $5000 and this Mrs. Collins bequeathed by will to her only surviving daughter, Mary O’'Rourke, and only recently Mrs. Ellfe Whalen of Temescal was appointed guar- dian of the person and estate of the lat- ter. Henry Collins was left absolutely noth- ing and yesterday the [ocal health author- ities found him In a little shack on the old Collins property at 167 Eighth street in_squalor and filth. W. B. White is the attorney for Mary O'Rourke’s guardian, Mrs. Whalen, and | he announces that he will bring several suits in the very near future to recover some of the land Mrs. Collins deeded away. “Of course, when Mrs. Collins deeded this property,” said Attorney White to- day, ‘‘she was incompetent, and while it will'require a great deal of work clearing up_titles, etc., 1 feel sure we can recover | sufficient so that the two surviving chil- dren, Mary and Henry, can be properly provided for.” NO CHANGES TILL FISCAL YEAR ENDS REDUCTION OF SALARIES IS NOT OPTIONAL. Candidates Are Already in the Field for Every Probable Va- cancy. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, April 6. It is practically settled that whatever changes are to be made in. the depart- ments of the city zovernment will not be made until July 1. At that time there will certainly be many surprises. The recommendation to pass all the or- dinances which are necessary, in order to give full force to the Mayor's message, shows very clearly what can be expected. All the employes will have their salaries reduced 25 per cent, but it will not be ac- | cepted as a voluntary gift from the in- The reduction will be made in | dividuals. the salary of each office, and the office holder will have no option but to draw his reduced salary. 'This plan clearly shows that it is not alone the purpose to reduce the salaries, but to make what- | ever changes are necessary in the de- partment. Had each employe been permitted to return_voluntarily one-fourth of his sal- ary till the end of this fiscal ‘year, it would have been a great exhibition of in. gratitude on the part of the city to re- move them from office at that time. Hav- ing reduced the salaries, however, they cannot be raised until the offices are va- cant, and when they are refilled -the ax will fall. Outside of the Police and Fire depart- ments there are likely to be but few if any changes. It is hardly likely that an attempt will be made to change the Street Department, it being an acknowledged fact that it has given the greatest satis- faction of any department of the govern- ment. In the Police and Fire depart- ments there is much room for specula- tion, but apparently no one is to be dis- turbed for more than two months. Candidates are already cropping up for every position the holder of which is con- sidered to be in doubt, but no one is able to derive any satisfaction from visiting the City Hall. The manner in which the City Council has started out to support the lines drawn by Mr. Snow is proof of harmony among the heads of the govern- and therefore svery change made will be the result of deliberation amun& | the officials as a whole, and not the worl of one or two individuals working from personal motlve: This has along been the idca of Mayor Snow. FRUIT PROSPECTS WERE NEVER BETTER ALAMEDA COUNTY MAKES A FINE REPORT. ‘Washington Township Has One of the Largest Crops of Beets and Cherries. NILES, April 6.—At no time during the vear has the crop outlook been as bright in this portion of Alameda County as at present.
