Frenna may be recall- ed by the prosecution later to answer any questions that may have been temporarily overlooked by Assistant District Attor- ney Salomon, but he will not again be subjected to a severe ordeal.

ELIZABETH LEARY, THE MISSING WOMAN. RS. ELIZABETH LEARY, an aged and highly respected resident of Val- / lejo, has disappeared in a manner so strange and mysterious as greatly to alarm her family and friends, who have tried in every possibie way, but in vain, to find her. Mrs. Leary Is 76 years of age, infirm and near- sighted, and it 1s feared that she has lost her way and may be many miles from home. Last Monday afternoon she took the 2:30 o'clock ferry boat at the foot of Market street on her journey to her home in Vallejo and after she stepped upon the boat all trace of her has been lost. She had been spending a few days at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Henry J. Woiters, at 610 Elizabeth street, in this city and startea to return to her Vallejo home. Her daughter and her sister, Mrs. Harrington, accom- panied her to the ferry. They were with her when she purchased a ticket for Vallejo and they saw that she safely left the waiting-room and went on board the boat. The old lady remarked that she would have to walt In the ©Oakland mole for some time, as the train for Vallejo did not start until connections were made with the 4 o’clock boat from this efty. Nothing more was thought of the incident untll yesterday, when Mrs. Wolters received a letter from her sister in- Vallejo asking ‘when their mother intended to return. Mrs. Leary had never reached her destination. What befell her or where she went no one knows and her family has been thrown into an agony of fear and suspense. If she had taken any other than the Vallefo train her ticket would Inform the conductor of the fact and her condition certainly would prompt him to see that she was properly cared for if he decided to put her off the train. Her relatives can concelve of no theory that will stlence thelr fears and their only hope is that.the old lady i1s among those who will care for her until her identity becomes known. When Mrs. Wolters recetved the startling letter from her sister she went Immediately to the home of another sister, Mrs. W. Bowen, at 13 Fair Oaks street, in this city, but Mrs. Leary had not been there. Inquiry among friends in this city had no better result and the anxious relatives are al- most distracted. It may be that the old lady took the wrong tralp at the Oakland mole and is now many miles from her destination. Her aged hus band has come to this city, but has fared no better than his daughters in his search. Mr. and Mrs. Leary are among the oldest and most highly respected residents of Vallefo, having lived there for over forty years. When Mrs. Leary disappeared she wore a dark gown and bonnet and gray shawl. Her hair is gray and her eyes have the appearance of being sore. Any information of her will be received with gladness by her relatives at the addresses already given. tend beyond January §, 190.
