Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | CANNOT ACREE Second Trial of Alleged “Jack the Swatter” Is a . Disappointment to State I o Sy SUSPECT IS IDENTIFIED Miss . Cronin Says He Beat and Choked Her, but Five Jurors Balk on Verdiet ALAMEDA, June 16.—In the second | trial of Milton Blake, alias “Jack the Swatter,” to-day the jury failed to iagree and was discharged at 11 o'clock | to-night by Judge Tappan. The jurors discussed the case for eight heurs, and | six were for conviction, the same as on the first trial. There were but eleven Jurors. Miss Cronin was the first witness put on Dby the prosecution and positively | identified Blake as the person who at- tacked and beat her on the night of February 20 on Santa Clara avenue, near Everett street. She related care- fully and consistently how, after she had alighted from an electric car at the corner of Park street and Santa Clara avenue, Blake followed her and when near Everett street grasped her by the throat and beat and kicked her until she fell into the gutter. Then, Miss Cronin said, her assailant ran to- ward Broadway and she went back to | Park street, where her screams had at- tracted the attention of Elmer E. Ped- lar, who consented to accompany her to the home of Mrs. Franz Collischonn, 2439 Central avenue, where she is em- ployed. When the pair reached the spot Where the attack had occurred they t Blake coming directly toward them. Miss Cronin informed her es- cort that the person approaching them was the one who attacked her. HE STOPPED BLAHE. Pedlar stopped the youth and asked him what his name was and where he was going. Blake gave his correct name and said that he resided on Walnut street, although his home is on Encinal avenue. Miss Cronin testified that she was so frightened when Pedlar caught BElake that she then refused to posi- tively identify him as her assailant, as she feared him and dreaded the noto- riety his arrest would bring her. Pedlar thereupon released Blake and the latter made haste to get out of sight. It was not until the 3d of this month that Miss |'Cronin swore to the complaint agalnst Blake, and that after he had been ar- rested for a similar attack on Miss An- | nie Seebeck. Pedlar corroborated Miss Cronin’s testimony in every detail, and told how his suspicions were aroused when he and Miss Cronin met the yvouth, who was trembling and breathing heavily. In response to questions asked him Blake told Pedlar that he was coming from a car barn on High street, where he had been feeding a horse. This statement by Blake was disproved, as there is no car barn on or near High street. DENIES HIS GUILT. Blake admitted on the stand that he had met Miss Cronin and Pedlar on the night of the attack, and was cer- tain as to their identity. He denied that he had beaten the young woman and also that he had on a coat of light color on the night of the assault. Other witnesses who gave testimony were Chief of Police John Conrad: Mrs. Blake, mother of the defendant: Detective George Brown, Otto Ley- decker and A. Anderson. Deputy Dis- trict Attorney W. H. L. Hynes prose- cuSted and the defendant was repre- sented by Attorney A. L. Frick. Com- posing the jury of eléeven were Paul G. Buckley, A. J. Ernest, E. J. Bevan, G. C. Munro, J. K. Hauck, R. Taylor, Wil- liam Betten, H. Toelken, Henry Bram- man, Harry Atwood and John W. Rew. Blake has still another charge of bat- tery against him, preferréd by Miss Annie Seebeck.

Day after day he made his sales and each night furnished him with more chickens. Tietz’'s downfall came when he went to the home of John Russell, who lives at Twenty-sixth street and Twenty- second avenue. In a house there he found thirteen light Brahmas. They | were of a fancy breed and about half- grown and he took them all. He sold them to Phillips & Lease at Twelfth and Webster streets for $4. Russell tes- tified to-day that he valued them at from $5 to $10 each. As soon as he dis- covered his loss Russell started for the markets and found his chickens at the first place he visited. Lease had pur- chased the birds only a short time be- fore and was able to give such a de- scription of the man that Detectives Holland and Quigley soon had Tietz in custody. He was positively identified by the dealers as the man who had sold them birds by the wagon lead. ———— SANTA ROSA MASONS CELEBRATE JUBILEE Fiftieth Anniversary of the Lodge Is Commemorated in a Pleasant Manner.

I am in- formed to-day by the Minister of For- eign Affairs that one of the sheiks and two of his brothers, whose apprehen- sion were demanded by Raissoull have been arrested; also that a courier has been dispatched this morning to Rais- souli to say that his further demands will probably be gramnted by the Mo- roccan government if the captives are released.” LONDON, June 17.—The correspond- ent of the Times at Tangier points out that the concession of the bandit Rais- souli's new demand for the Governor- ship of 500 miles of additional territory would mean the bringing of the Euro- pean Ministers into direct diplomatic communication with Raissouli, whose post as Governor, were the usual eti- quette observed, would involve the amicable exchange of visits with the Ministers. This demand, says the cor- repondent, has not yet become publicly known and he adds that it will cause consternation. —_—— American Athletes for Europe.

GERMAN WOMEN DENIED A VOTE Provision for Ballot Is Ex- punged From Arbitration " Measure at Third Reading BERLIN, June 16. — Upon its third reading to-day the Reichstag expunged from the law establishing mercantile arbitration tribunals the provision for a female ballot, which was adopted against the protest of the Government on the second reading. The law was passed. During the debate upon the measure one of the speakers jocularly referred to the sympathetic attitude of Countess von Bulow, wife of the Im- perial Chancellor, and Countess von Posadowski-Wehner, wife of the Min- ister of the Interior, toward the women's movement, expressing the| hope that these ladies would soften the hard hearts of their husbands. Count von Posadowski-Wehner de- clared it was a duty born of interna- tional politeness to extend a hospitable greeting to “such distinguished women, some of whom look back upon glorious achievements,” but the extension of such greetings did not necessitate the acceptance of their entire programme, especially their demand for political suffrage for women. At the clogse of the night session the Reichstag adjourned to November 29, with the understanding that the Em- peror will call a session earlier, in case the commercial treaty negotiations render such action imperative. —_———— FREIGHT HANDLERS MEET AND DISCUSS SITUATION PSS e Southern Pacific Employes Can Find No Inducement for Ending Their Present Strike."

Captain Martin received a letter yesterday from Arthur B. Saunders, engineer and electrician at the North Shore Railroad camp No. 1, White's Hill Tunnel, in which. the writer states that he believes the revolver taken from Gurt Burneil, the footpad, belongs to him. Saunders said that a revolver was stolen from his room at the camp about three weeks ago. In his letter he gives the number and description of the stolen weapon, which seems to be identical with the one found on Burnell. Saunders also said that a man named Burrell, 'who had been work- ing at the camp, had disappeared about the same time as the revolver. The police have sent a photograph of Burnell to Saunders to see if he can identify him and asking if any one else left the camp at the same time as Burnell. Burnell was questioned by Detec- tives Dinan and Wren about the re- volver, but he claimed that the wea- pon had been in his possession for a long time and that he had come hers from Wadsworth, Nev. The detectives have been unable to find the location of his room or any trace of his com- panion. employes. As a result the men took no action toward bringing the strike to an end. It is announced that the telegraph operators employ®d by the Union Pa-~ cific Railroad Company have, after several months' consideration, set tled their differences with the com- pany in so far as wages and hours are concerned, and that the threatened trouble that might have resuited from the company’s inability to secure competent train dispatchers and operators have been removed. —_—————— PERSONAL.
