Sl agigiiin The argument on the application for a writ of habeas corpus for the release of Mrs. Adelaide Lloyd Smith, who is want- |ed in Seattle on a charge of obtaining money by false pretenses, was commenced Lefore Judge Cook at 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Smith was brought from the City Prison by Detective T. B. Gib- son and sat beside her attorneys, Louls P. Boardman and W. 8. Barnes. seemed to take a lively interest in the | proceedings. She Lad been previously booked at the prison en route to Seattie | on the felony charge. | Attorney Boardman argued that the | complaint sworn to by Detective Gibson | betore Police Judge Conlan, on which the | teturn to the application was based, did not show that a criminal charge was now | pending against Mrs. Smith in the State | of Washington and also that it did not |show that a criminal offense had been | committed under the laws of the State of | Washington. ) | He read the complaint sworn to by Miss | Rose Daughery before a Judge in Se- | attle last January, charging Mrs. Smith with obtaining $1000 from her by false rep- | resentations regarding the Gray Gander | oil stock and questioned the sufficlency of | the complaint to hold Mrs. Smith. He |argued that there was no allegation" in | the complaint that Miss Daughery parted with the money by reason of the alleged | false representations. . | The Judge seemed to agree with Board- man In that respect, but Assistant Dis- | trict Attorney Harris argued that the al- ‘[legsllon was sufficiently made In the | complaint. At his request the matter was | continued till Monday afternoon gt 2 o'clock, 80 that he could have an oppor- tunity of examining the laws of the State of Washington regarding the crime of ob- talning money by false pretenses. Attorney Boardman asked that Mrs. | Smith be released on bonds and the Judge | fixed them in $2000 or $1500 cash. She was | remanded into the custody of the Sherift and was taken to the County Jall. | Mrs. 8mith is quite well known in this city. Four years ago she appeared at a jconcert given by herself in Sherman & | Clay Hall. She then possessed a sweet | Boprano veoice, which was well trained. | The local critics afd not rave over her, | however, but devoted all their attention | to eriticizing. her magnificent gowns and diamonds. Some well known artists of thie city assisted the rich widow in the | concert. A feature of the affalr was the | presence of her divorced husband, Roscoe Warren Lucy, at the piano. The latter ’um‘omnmlled his wife in all her songs. | For the sake of harmony all past rela- | tions were forgotten and during hls ex- | wite's singing Lucy was careful of dis- cords. Mr. Luoy is now a resident of Berkeley. He was married to Mrs. Adelaide Lloyd | Bmith- in Seattle seven vears ago. She | was then teaching singing and also sang in a choir. He met her and fell in love with her. He afterward found his wife a hard woman to get along with and he |left her. She secured @ divorce and also | the custody U‘. the three boys, offspring of the marriage. Mrs, Smith came into possession of $60,- 000 left her by her aunt and she used e great deal of the money in furthering | her ambitions to go on the stage. Attorney Boardman visited Mrs. Smith in the City Prison last night and decided not to produce bonds and secure his cli- ent's release. He stated that she would | only be rearrested and the duration of her | liberty would be so short that it was not worth the task. P E e OPERATES IN OAKLAND. OAKLAND; April 17.—That Mrs. G. | Jones, former proprietress of the Juanita Hotel in this city, did not become a vic- | tim of the wiles of Mrs. Adelalde Lloyd | Smith, whose arrest in San Francisgo | was accomplished with sensational ef- | fect, is due to the Oakland woman's acumen and clean-cut business sense. Mrs. Jones was approached last fall by | the accused swindler with a proposition to accompany her East on a stock-selling | | scheme. In refusing Mrs. Jones says she warned the persuasive woman that if she persisted In her plans there could be only | one result—prison. | It was as a stockholder in the Gray Gander Ol Company that Mrs. Jones became acquainted with the glib sales- woman. And in spite of Mrs. Smith's persistent efforts to induce her to join her plans the Oaklander as insistently declined. “‘Mrs. Smith was sent to me by some of the Gray Gander Company people,” sald Mrs. Jones to-night at her residence, 714 Twenty-second street, Oakland. “We had some business dealings over the sale of some furniture and she still has not settled that matter, but this is a trifling affair. After we became acquainted she called repeatedly to see e and tried her | best to induce me to go into her schemes. She offered at one time to let me wear her diamonds, saying I was just the woman to take hold with her, but I didn't think diamonds went well with business and I told Mrs. Smith that she could not persuade me. “Mrs. Smith has been selling the Gray Gander Oil Company’s stock for two years or more. But I am not satisfled that the company ever saw any of the prcceeds from her work. In fact, for some time I have heen trying as a share- holder, with stock that stands me $12 30, te ascertain where the company does stand. With Henry Hellwegen of this city I have placed the matter in the hands of my attorney, J. J. Hernan of San Francisco, “The facts are that we cannot gat hold of the books to make an investigation. ‘I'he secretary, G. F. Abbott, and his wile, M. G. Abbott, as treasurer, have been drawing $100 a month each. A lease on the property held by the company has been allowed to run out, although there was an assessment levied to pay the amount necessary. “Abbott has been running things as he pleased and we have decided to make a fight to save what we can out of the wreck. 1 belleve the company's property can be recovered. It appears that the lease it held {s mow in Abbott's hands, and he ought to know a great deal about Mrs. Smith's transactious. “If there are any other shareholders in- terested enough I should be glad to have them communicate with me. “I should also like to know why the California Combined Oil Company, with this same George F. Abbott as president, is now advertising as its property the identical lands formerly controlled by the Gray Gander Company. “‘Our demand to see the books has been preductive of one peep at them, but they are in such a condition that it would re- quire expert investigation to fathom them. BSo far as I am concerned I look to Secretary Abbott more than I do to Mrs, Bmith for satisfaction. That is the ohject of my inquiry.” Abbott is at present in Bakersfleld. The Gray Gander Oil Company was organized three years ago under the laws of South Dakota. It claimed holdings in the Kern County ofl belt. The directors were O, B, Phelps, G. F. Abbott, T. M. Anton, J, | L. Doble and Mrs, M. G. Abbott. » The wonderful ‘power of Lydia E.

Edward H. Beal, the former Southern Pacfiic gatekeeper, whose troubles with his wife, Nellie Beal, have caused his arrest on numerous occasions, essayed the role of an attorney in Judge Mur- asky's court yesterday, appearing in his own behalf in the divorce proceedings Mrs, Beal institgted against him. That he did not prove a success is evidenced by the fact that the court granted Mrs. Beal the relief she prayed for and also awarded her the custody of her little child. Beal conducted his case in a fashion that utterly routed whatever defense he may have had. After Mrs. Beal had tes- tified that he had admitted to her that he had spent the night in the Union Hotel with a young girl named Ida Brown, as she charged in her complaint, he at- tempted to cross-examine her. He suc- ceeded in making her evidence positive instead of weakening its He met with the same fate in his attempts to shat- ter the testimony of John and Ernest Corler, brothers of Mrs. Beal, both of whom testified that Beal had admitted to them that he had been unfaithful. Even the testimony of Mrs. Dieke, proprietress of the Union Hotel, who rented the room to Beal on the night in_question, was made more conclusive by Beal's attempts to break it down. He essayed a long, rambling statement at the conclusion of the taking of testi- mony, intimating that his wife and her relatives had prepared their testimony, but Judge Murasky paid little attention to him, telling him that if he had any- thing to say he must take the stand and be sworn. This he did not seem inclined to do and the court promptly gave Mrs. Beal a divorce. Divorces were also granted to Kate Currey from William Currey for deser- tion, Ella_B. Belnap from C. M. Belnap for neglect, Therese E. Grimmer from Rob- ert D. Grimmer for desertion and Lulu M, Judd from W. 8. Judd for neglect. Buits for divorce were filed by Joseph F.

Detectives and police officers haye com- menced to round up crooks thought to be responsible for a number of recent crimes and three arrests were made last night at the Central police station. John Fitzpat- rick was arrested and his name registered on the detinue book by Detectives Har- per and Armstrong; Willlam Isaacs was airested by Detectives Braig and Mul- caby, and George O’Donnell was picked up by Officers Reel and Davids and charged with vagrancy. Fitzpatrick is suspected of having been implicated in several recent thefts, and Isaacs is thought to be responsible for the numerous room burglaries in the down- town section of the city. He is an ex- conviet and several days ago the police learned that he had a collection of keys in his possession and have been shadow- ing him since. An effort will be made to identify him to-day and connect him with some of the crimes he i supposed to have committed. O'Donnell was released .from prisen but one month ago and is thought to have since been operating in the tenderloin districts, but the police are unable to fas- ten any crime on him at present and he will be held on a charge of vagrancy. Suspect Curran Released. John Curran, who was arrested Thurs- day morning on suspicion of having shot Claus Tiedemann, a grocer at Twénty- second and Hampshire streets, was re- leased from custody yesterday. Tiede- mann, who is in the German Hospital in a precarious condition, falled to identify him as the man who did the shooting, as did several others who were witnesses to the escape of the murderous robber. * e ——————— NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
