SAN JOSE, Nov. 10.—Believing that two drinks of hot spiced wine had been ' the means of causing her son, Albert M. Faux, to be sent to the: Agnews | Asylum, Mrs. Susan M. Faux of San Francisco to-day commenced habeas corpus proceedings to secure his re- | lease. On January 31, 1902, Judge Heb- | bard committed him on the petition of | his father. The story told in the com- | plaint Is a peculiar one. | Mrs. Faux avers that on the night | of January 30, 1902, her son was suf- fering with a chill and she gave him two big drinks of hot spiced wine. She believed the drinks would cure him, | but, instead, they made him intoxi- | cated. Her son was a total abstainer, | and the now believes the wine drove him to the verge of delirium tremens. He had hallucinations that he heard people on the roof and strange voices, and that his parents wanted to kill him. Mrs. Faux alleges that while in this drunken condition the noises that he heard were made by brewery work- men in the vicinity, who work very late at night. She further says his father mistook her son's drunken ac- tions for indications of insanity and caused him to be hurried to the | detention hospital and the next day committed to an insaje asylum. Mrs. Faux recites, further, that since her son's commitment she has visited him once every month and that he is neither incompetent nor insane, but that he is tortured mentally by his in- carceration. Further she says that he g il ity. In case that he cannot be dis- charged unconditionally she asks that he be paroled and committed to her care, as she is in a position to look after him. The petition will be heard before Judge Tuttle to-morrow morn- ing. | —_————— New Postmaster Named. WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—Attilio C.

C.| McClurg, housekeeper at the Waldort- | Astoria, .was examined to-day before| Commissioner Lee, who is taking tes- timony in the Dolbeer will case. Mrs. McClurg, in her testimony, said she was in her room on July 9, when a malid brought word that somebody had | fallen from a window on the ninth| floor. She hurried to Miss Dolbeer's | room, where she found Miss ‘Warren, | woman'’s companion, and | The malds were restrain- | ing Miss Warren, who was hysterical ! and, Mrs. McClurg thought, was “try- | ing to get out of the room.” Mrs.| McClurg said she sent the maids away | and tndertook herself to soothe Miss | Warren. Mrs. McClurg did not know | who had fallen. One of the maids had sajd it was Miss Warren's daughter, | but Miss Warren corrected her, saying, 1 “No, it 18 not my daughter, but my | friend.” She also told of Miss Warren's ex- amination by Detective Sullivan, but | could not remember the affair clearly. She thought Miss Warren told how she saw Miss Dolbeer walk up and down the hall and, finding it oppressively | warm:, go into the room. Miss Warren eald that she then went to an adjoin- ing room and, coming out a minute later, saw Miss Dolbeer “disappearing from the window.” Mrs. McClurg said Miss Warren had not told Sullivan that she had been apprehensive for Miss Dolbeer's safety. The housekeeper also denfed that | Miss Warren had told Sullivan that Miss Dolbeer had jumped from the window or that Miss Dolbeer had com- Mrs. | McClurg said that Miss Warren had | not told Coroner Scholer that Miss Dol- | beer “had been crazy for twenty-six s “Was the word ‘crazy’ used at all?” | the witness was asked. “Not at all,” she answered. Replying to a question Mrs. McClurg | said that Miss Warren had told Cor- | oner Scholer that Miss Dolbeer had | consulted a Paris physician for neu- rasthenia. “Did Miss Warren say that the Paris ' doctor had warned her that Miss Dol- | beer would be apt to commit some rash act for which she could not be held responsible 2" “She did not,” replied the witness. The housekeeper said that she had not heard Miss Warren tell Coroner Scholer that Miss Dolbeer would “act on the impulse of the moment.” —— e Picture Frames.
