T. Gaylor. Mrs. Maud Richardson Tells of Locking Maurauder in a Closet. ——p Oakland Office San Franciseo. Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 5. Mrs. Maud Richardson, wife of Profes- sor Richardson of the University of Cali-| fornia, told a judge and jury to-day how | she helped her husband make a prisoner | of a midnight burglar discovered in their home. While small of stature, she testi- fied that she held a closet door and that when they succéeded in closing It upon their entrapped visitor, they turned the key in the lock and then telephoned for the police. . On the witness stand this morning, Mrs. Richardson identified the prisoner at the bar as the man who was taken from the closet by the police and in relating how he was eaptured said: H We were awakened about 3 o'clock in the morning by hearing some . one moving about in our house. My husband and I got up and went downstairs, but did not find any one. A window, however, was wide open thag I re- membered shutting before 1 retired, and we supposed we must have heard the man as he left. We went up to our room again.

We both jumped and closed the door and 1 leaned against it while my husband turned the key. Then we telephoned for the police. At the police station at Berkeley, the captured man gave the name of Charles T. Gaylord. He is making the defemse that he had been drinking and got into the house by mistake. Several physicians have been subpoenaed to testify that such a thing Is within the range of possibility and cases such as this have been- known to occur. Gaylor had been employed in a livery stable in Berkeley and claims that he has always worked honestly for a living and has a good record. The jury failed to agree after four hours’ deliberation and was discharged. el @ CLAIM INSANITY CAUSED THAEATS | | i Belligerent Engineer Is| Arrested by Former Wife's Friends. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 5. Persistent pursuit of his former wife, | Mrs. Jennie White Johnson, and frequent | threats to do. bodily harm to her friends, Walter M. Bird, president of the Ala- an Endeavor Union; | and Mrs. Bird, had led to the drrest and detention of Edward Johnson, a civil en- sioners of Lunacy. Johnson was sent to the Receiving Hos- the police, a com- plaint alleging insanity having been sworn to by the engineer's divorced wife. President Bird caused. Johnson's arrest lowed him from Tenth and Alice streets to the Bird residence at 1017 Madison street and had threatened to kill him. The engineer had repeatedly, it was | claimed, declared he had intended to kill | for the former Mrs. Johnson's refusals | to remarry her belligerent ex-spouse. The Johnsons were divorced some time ago and Mrs. Johnson resumed her maiden name of Miss S. J. White. Mrs. Bird was an intimate friend of Miss White | before her marriage and after the sep- aration the divorced wife was a frequent | visitor at the Bird residence. “Johnson was very anxious to remarry | his former wife,” said Bird to-day, “and he made her life miserable by pursuing her. Only a week ago, while Miss White and Mrs. Bird were walking downtown, ening way that they ran into a restau- rant and called a policeman, who escorted them home. I was compelled to cause Johnson's arrest because I believed he would carry out his frequent threats to kill us.” Bird applied this morning to Prosecut- ing Attorney A. P. Leach for a com- plaint against Johnson. The court offi- | cer advised that no criminal charge be placed against the engineer until an ex- amination' as to his mental condition | could be held. It appeared to Attorney | Leach that Johnson's actions were those | of a man who might be mentally unbal- | anced. Leach's advice was taken. —————— MANY PROMINENT PERSONS PASS AWAY IN OAKLAND John R.

The story goes that only a sufficient plant is to be left at Sacramento to do the repairing on locomotives for the mountain divisions, and that all the car repa ing and manu- facturing is to be transferrea to Peint Richmond. The South Pacific Com- pany recently acquired 100 acres of water front land here, immediately north of the Standard Ofl Company’s property, and it is said it also has option on- a large body of marsh land east of this traet. The Pacific Coast Company has bought a tract of 250 s five - miles northeast of the big re come from Adolph K1 Sobrante station on It is gi R n out by tives of the company here that the land is representa- to be covered with stor tract lles along the big Bakersfield and has an elevation of 200 feet or more above the refinery. From the storage tanks the oil would flow down to the reflnary by gravitation. The pipe line having proven a success it is found that the company, notwithstanding its immense tanks here, is still far short of adequate capacity to accommodate the output of the pipe line. A franchise was granted by the Board of Supervisors on Monday to W. 8. Rheem, superintendent of the Pacific Coast Ol Company, for the construction and operation of an electric street car line from the Southern Pacific station down : tanks. g The pipe line from | Maedonald avenue to the Santa Fe depot, | thence to Richmond-avenue station and through the principal streets of the town to the oil works #nd beyond. The appli- cation for the franchise was filed by H: B. Kinney of the Richmond Light and Power Company, whose bid for same was only $232, while that of Mr. Rheem was $632. Mr. Rheem avers that the line will be built as scon as arrangements can be perfected for its construction. By the terms of the franchise he has one year to begin construction and two years to complete the line. It has been surmised that. Mr. Rheem represented - the Belt Line Company, but this he disciaims. An extensive stoneyard is to be estab- the junction of the Southern Pacific main Hne and the Santa Fe's Oakland branch.
