Marshall Arrested for Alleged Battery. | The case of Louis F. and George A. | ‘.\lnrsh? the brothers who are ac- cused by Mrs. Harry Rodgers of hav- ing wavlaid and beaten her last \\'(‘d-} nesday night, came up in the Police | | Court yesterday, but was postponed | until- next Wednesday morning be- cause of the inabilisy of the prosecut- ing witness to appear in court. Mrs. | Louis ¥. Marshall attempted to secure | a warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Rodg- ers, but Judge Conlon. declined to issue it while the present case is pending.| } Mrs. Marshall alleges that Mrs. Rodg- ers struck her at the race track. Mrs. Rodgers was confined to her bed yesterday, claiming to be suffering | from her injuries. She denied that she ever struck the wife of Louis F. Mar- chall. She asserts that when the men came upon her she thought they were footpads and she tried to run away, but they followed her and struck her to the ground. | Mrs. Rodgers believes that the Mar- shalls tried to injure her because of a quarrel they had with E. J. Smith her brother-in-law. She claims she | could not have scratched Mrs. Mar- shall, because her nails are too short, she having bitten them for years. | The Marshall§ are well-known race. track men. Louis Marshall said last | night that he and his brother called upon Mrs. Rodgers Wednesday even- | ing to remonstrate with her for strik- ing Louis’ wife. They did not find! her in, but met her on the corner and immediately upon seeing them she struck at them with her umbrella. Louis says he did not strike Mrs. Rodgers nor did his brother do so. Louis Marshall claims that the rea- | son Mrs. Rodgers assaulted his wife | was because of a quarrel she had wjith her brother-in-law over the manage- men of the racehorse Mansard. He claims that Mansard is Mrs. Rodgers’ property and that he and Jennings | cleared up $59,000 in Chicago on the | race the animal won there, “which | made Mrs. Rodgers jealous.” —_———————— Ready to Care for Orphans.

NEATE ADMITS IS THIEVERT Makes Confession to Attorney Herrin That He Stole Jew- elry From Plymouth Hotel THREE CASES AGAINST HIM —_—— Says the DPoisoned Cocktail Was " Intended for Himself and Net for the Pawnbroker L AT Leon D. Neate, ex-night clerk at the Plymoyth Hotel, Bush and Jones streets, who was arrested on Wednes- day by Detectives Dinan and Wren for stealing jewelry and other articles from rooms of the guests at the hotel, will have at least three charges of burglary booked against him.™ The three complaining witnesses will be Mrs. Kimball, Mrs. Brown and Her- bert Thompson. Neate denied yesterday that he ever 'had any intention of poisoning Nathan | Carr, the pawnbroker at 5161 Dupont .slreet. but averred that the poisened | cocktail. was for himself. He had a | presentiment that he was to be ar- rested and purchased the strychnine to be prepared for death rather than for disgrace. If the detectives hadsbeen | half an hour longer in making their | appearance, he said, they would have | found his dead body. Against this statement it is pointed | out as peculiar that Neate, shortly be- fore he went out for the cocktails, asked Carr.to show him the inside of | the safe in the store. Cart thought the request a most unusual dne, but com- plied with it. The police think it is| Jjust possible. that Neate might have had a thought in his mind to poison | Carr and'rob the safe of its contents. Attorney ‘W. J. Herrin, son of the proprietress of the hotel, had:a long | talk .with Neate in' the city prisoni yesterday. Neate admitted to him | that he had stolen articles from dif- ferent rooms and had sold most, of the plunder te Carr. He said he had been | assisted by a bellboy, but the police | do not belleve him and are satisfied | that Neate was alone in the thefts. He | sold the stolen jewelry to Carr under Beautiful Neate came to the city last August | and had been employed as night clerk | In his pockets a letter was found that he had written to Ben Burridge, 788 Clayton | street. He asked Burridge for a loan. | as he was “dead broke” and promised to repay him double the amount. He | also wrote that his father and mother had come to the city and had taken up their residence at 1032 Van Ness avenue. " This latter statement, the de- tectives say, is untrue. —_————————— MARY CLARK AND FLORENCE MATHESON DENIED DECREES Fall to Prove They Are Entitled to Legak Scparation on Grounds of Cruelty and Desertion.
