Claims Ross Woman .Made Him Testify so as to Save Her. g ey Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Oet. 7. Annie Ross, the white woman accused of being an accomplice of Victor Walki- rez, the negro murderer of aged Eliza- beth Leroy, was given a preliminary hear- ing to-day before Judge Samuels. Walkirez, who is serving a life senterce, was brought over from San Quentin and placed on the stand. His recitation of | the facts concerning the murder occupled most of the day. The murderer. who at the time of his conviction confessed that he killed Mrs. | Leroy with a hammer and buried her | body, now denies that he did the crime he | is serving time for, and says he merely | testified as he did to save the woman wha was living with him. He claims that ev- | erything he sald during his trial was | what Mrs. Ross had told him to say. Walkirez gave his testimony in a low, feeble voice and appeared to have a much weakened mind, for his memory was bad. He stated that on May 5 when he came home in the afternoon Mrs. Ro: asked him to get some “dope” and kill the old woman so that they could get her | money. He claims that he refused to do ] as she asked, and went to bed. Early the next morning, about 4 o'clock, he was | awakened by Mrs. Ross, who told bim | that he had killed Mrs. Leroy and he must go downstairs and bury her. Walki- | rez ald not remember having: done the deed, but went downstairs and found the | corpse of Mrs. Leroy wrapped in quilts | standing agajnst a big dry goods box. Under Mrs. Ross' direction he buried the | body, but did not search the clothes for | money, as Mrs. Ross wanted him to. The | witness stated that all of his confession, | made at the time of his conviction. was | invented and rehearsed to him by Mrs. Ross. He said that she had told him tka he would be convicted and hanged an that there was no use of his bringing h into it. The negro's memory was hazy in regard to many facts of the murder. Several letters were produced, written to Walkirez by Mrs. Ross at the time of | his incarceration at the City Prison. The | tenor of all was that Walkirez ought not | to tell anything on her that would in-| i | criminate her. i Captain of Police Petersen and Detec- tives Holland and Kyte repeated their | former testimony in regard to Mrs. Ross’ | confession. The case was continued until | to-morrow morning. —_—————— The city is not so rich that it can af- fora to throw away $700,000.

BRITAIN LAGGING IN PROSPERI Chamberlain Reiterates His Warning to the Empire. Adherence to Free Trade Is Proving Suicidal. Eol ity LONDON, Oct. 7.—Continuing his flscal campaign, Chamberlain to-night ad- dressed a meeting of four thousand per- sons In the Town Hall of Greenock. a seaport on the Clyde, twenty-two miles from Glasgow. He spoke for one hour and a quarter and dealt particularly with the questions of retaliation and recipro- city. The late Colonial Secretary said that he was a free trader and wanted to live barmoniously with his neighbors, but he desired free exchange with all nations. If they would not exchange, he was not a free trader at any price. He respected “our American cousins,” had consider- able respect for the Germans, and great respect and greater friendship for the French. The policy of these nations was to use the tariffs to ease the home trade and exclude forelgn trade, while under the present system in the United King- dom trade was steadily decreasing. Chamberlain asked why all protective nations prospered more than the unpro- tected omes. If the Cobdenites would sat- isfactorily answer that question, he would ask to be allowed to hide his di- minished head. His occupation would be gone. Asking why the foreign productive countries, even small nations like Sweden, had all prospered, he said that he be- Says lieved they were better strategists. He continued: I say that you are inconsistent. You are adopting a suicidal course. If you versist fn the present policy your workmen must either take lower waxes or lose their work. Concluding his general restatement, the speaker sald that agriculture in Great Britain was practically destroyed, the sugar trade gone, the silk trade was gone, the iron and wool industries were threatened, and the same fate would come to the cotton trade. He continued: How long are you going to stand it? Eng- land is mot afraid of foreign countries. She is the greatest market in the whole world, and forelgn countries are her best customers. If a tariff war came England would not come out second best. Ome reason advanced for ‘America’s prosperity is her enormous popula- tion of seventy millions, but the British em- pire has sixty millions, all white, and some 5,000,000 of other races, all prospective cus- omers of the mother country In conclusion, Chamberlain said that he trusted the people in this matter. He had been told that he was risking his politi- cal life, but he had risked it before, and he had no fear for the personal result. HEROINE OF ELOPEMENT SENSATION IS DIVORCED Court Records at Los Angeles Show That Grace Virginia Luddy Se- cured a Degree. LOS ANGELES, Oct. 7.—Grace Virginia Luddy, heroine of an elopement sensation at Ventura, was granted an interlocutory decree of divorce from James R. Luddy here last Thursday on the ground of will- ful desertion. The divorce was applied for September 10 through General John- stone Jones. Service was made person- ally on Luddy and he defaulted. There- | upon the court granted her petition. Luddy was interviewed at the Hatel Rosslyn to-night by The Call correspond- ent. He was In care of a tralned nurse and said he was sick, but his friends about the hotel said he had been cele- brating. “Aw, she never stole any diamonds from me,” sald Luddy, “but she swore in court that she was my wife and now I've got a warrant out for her for perjury. I wish I never had got into the thing. I had a dlamond pin stolen from me hers a year or two ago, but she didn’t do the Job."” Further than that Luddy nothing coherent. Luddy Is well known among local sa- loon men. He came here from Boston six years ago, bought a saloon and ram it for a time. When sober he is gentlemanly and attends strictly to business. He had the rare rule in his saloon that bartend- ers should not shake dice with custam- ers or even converse with them unless absolutely necessary. He started a road- house project, which fell through, but he cleared $10,000 on the land and is sald to be worth $25,000. For some time he has been drinking heavily and perfodically could say | “sobering up” at some health resort. Of the Woman in the case nothing seems to be known by Luddy's friends.
