R R RS SCRSOR ATy -} TRIED TO MURDER A WOMAN FOR HER MONEY - CR 208 o HOMAS JONES, who gives his occupation as a longshoreman, attempted to murder Otilia Refas with a pair of shears in a house of ill repute at 11 Pinckney place late yesterday afternoon. His motlve, according to his victim's statement, was robbery. The woman, who is Spanish, re- ceived several severe jabs from the sharp weapon, badly shattering the bones of the nose. Before Jones could finish his dastardly work help came and he was taken to the California street police station, where he was booked for assault to murder. Jones came into the room occupled by the woman, and after locking the door demanded money. Upon being refused, the woman says, he declared he would take her life, and seizing a long pair of shears with one hand grasped her throat with the other. He then directed several stabs at her face, nearly tearing off her nose. By this time the Reias woman had succeeded [n turn- ing the key in the door, and several other inmates of the house.who had been summoned by her screams rushed in. Jones then sought to escape, but was held by several other women until the arrival of Officer J. F. O'Brien and Special Officer Otis Burge, who took him to the police station. Jones was not drunk when he committed the act, but after spending a few hours In the tanks feigned intoxication and disclaimed any knowledge of z the affair.

JOSEPH MARISTANY DOES NOT WANT TO DIE ALONE OAKLAND, Nov. 9.—Determined not to live through his declining years in soi'- tude and loneliness and notwithstanding his third matrimonial experien proved exceptionally stormy and disastrous finan- clally, Joseph Maristany, aged uZ years, and reputed at one time to be ons cf the wealthiest property owners in Alamedna, was to-night quietly married for the fourth time, Annette Frelmann, aged 42 years, and perkaps more familiarly known as Mme. Harbidge, being the bride this time. The marriage, which will creata uni- versal surprise, was solemnized at the home of the bride and groom, corner of Alameda avenue and Oak street, in the Encinal city, shortly after § o'clocik this evening, Rev. W. H. Fulton, pastor of the United Presbyterian Church of that eity, officiating. The affair was unostehiatiou only a very few close friends being in- formed and invited. Barely four weeks ago Mme. Harbldge took a year's lease on the two-story build- ing at Alameda avenue and Oak street, owned by Maristany, and opened in it the Alameda ladies’ cloak and sult par- lors, removing from San Francisco. The upper story was fitted out as living rooms at a considerable expense, defrayed by Maristany, who incidentally retained or rented one of these rooms froma Mme. Harbidge for himself. The new tenant's cloak and suit business seemed to flourish and Maristany soon found himself com- missioned as a special messenger and buyer of silk goods for the madame. Suspicion was aroused to-day when Maristany, in rather an excited frame of mind, called upon SE\'EI")I Alameda min- isters, among them Rev. . W. Scudder of the First (‘nngrs\g(\(lonlll Church and Rev. F. 8. Brush of the First Presbyter Church, n asking them to officiate at nis marriage. Scudder and Brush had previ- ous engagements and Rev. Mr. Fulton was recommended and secured. Late this afternoon Mr. Maristany called with a friend at the County Clerk's office and took out the marriage license. His nge and that of Mme. Harbidge was given as above, his nativity Spain and hers In- diana. He was solicitous that the strict- est secrecy be observed. He is well known on both sides of the bay and did not wish his acquaintances to learn of his latest matrimonial step. “I am getting old now,” he said, “and don’t propose 10 pass my remaining days in singleness, without a friend or rela- tive to care for me should I become sick and infirm. It's nobody’'s business but our own."” The aged groom's previous marriage ve- sulted in a sensational divorce. He had married Mabel 8. Sperry, an accomplished young -woman safd to be well connected in the East, Thelir married life orovad short and stormy, and finally about three years ago, after a sensational trial, in- volving valuable property rights, Mabel S. Maristany was granted a decree of di- vorce, together with several houses and lots and not less than $25,000. Maristany at the time claimed that as a precaution ‘in the event of the death of himself or wife he had had executed two sets of deeds to his property, one conveying from him to her, the other from her to him, the survivor to record the deeds whervin he or she was named as grantee; and that the wife, after their troubles began, proved very much alive by recording her deeds. The court, however, awarded her the property, she having established that it was giver her as a Christmas present. —_———————— Arrested for High Misdemeanor. OAKLAND, Nov. 8—J. A.
