LLUDE GUARDS | | | AND GET AWAT Ten military prisoners made their escape from the stockade at the Rodeo rifie range on Monday night. It was a daring act, well planned, and suc- essfully carried out. The prisoners who made the bold dash for liberty are: Donald Thorne, Clyde Smith, Thomas Mills, Richard Wells, Claude Paumapeer, George L. Perry, O. F. Smith, Charles Stuart, Sam Stevens and William Clark. At the time of the escape the prison- ers were guarded by men of the Thir- teenth and Tenth Infantry. The night was very dark and a dense fog was over the valley. The stockade in which they inclosure surrounded by a double fence of barbed wire, fifteen feet high. This was cut through with some sort of an instrurnent Rodeo rifle range is situated. in a val- ley about two miles back of Fort Bak- and a short distance from Bolinas The range was constructed early th year under the supervision of Lieutenant W. H. Patterson, Twenty- eighth Infantry, and has been in con- stant use all summer. This fall it was make some improvements new roads are dered that 100 prisoners be sent from Alcatraz, and Major Alexis R. Paxton, Thirteenth Infantry, commander that post, was told to select the men for the detail. This he did about three weeks ago and the prisoners were sent to the range. Major Paxton says the men selected were those that were in for minor offenses. Since they have been at Rodeo they have worked hard. No complaints have been made by them, and in fact they all seemed to like the place. The guard sent to watch the prison- ers was composed of Companies C and G, Thirteenth Infantry, and Company 3 Tenth Infantry, in command of Captain Arthur Johnson, who was Captain Johnson is at a loss to understand how the escape was effected. At the immediate point where the break was made there happened to be a recruit on duty, and it is probably due to a lack of vigilance on his part that the men got away. As soon as the escape was discovered, a provost guard of twenty-five men was sent in pursuit of the fugitives, but no trace of them was found and late yesterday afternoon the provost guard returned to the camp. The usnal reward of $30 the man was at once posted for the capture of the fugitives, with $20 allowance for travel- ing expenses. Louis Hughes, constable at San An- selmo station, says that early yester- day morning he saw three men prow- ling around that station, but when he called to them they ran off into the woods. He thinks they were some of the escapes. Conductor Kennedy of the North Shore Rallroad says that early yester- day morning just as his train was near Manzanita, northward bound, three men attempted to board it, but he yelled to them and they slunk back into the woods. Captain Johnson called a board of inquiry yesterday to find out who is responsible for the escape. LABORERS UNEARTH BONES OF BODY LONG BURIED — Shovels of Workingmen Turn Up Skel- | eton in Lot-at Posg Street and Grant Avenue, While excavating to lay founda- tions for a new building at Post street near Grant avenue a gang of laborers unearthed the skull and several bones of a body long buried. The lot where the discovery was made is owned by the Crocker estate. A building occupied by the Cente- meri Glove Company and Neal's res- taurant formerly occupied the site. ‘The ghastly find was reported to Po- liceman R. Connor, who notified the Coroner’'s office. The police attach no importance to the discovery, as the bones are evidently very old. The skeleton was probably that of a pio- neer, who died in the early '50's—per- haps before, The bones were nearly thirty feet below the level of the street, imbedded in a clay bank.

Davis had just been acquitted of the | charge of making a brutal attack upon [ Mrs. A. H. Ames in her stateroom on { the steamer Alliance on October 15 of last year. This was his third trial, the | former juries having disagreed. | Mrs. Ames is the wife of a farmer re- }sidlng at Marshfield, Or. The indig- | nant husband paced the corridor out- | side the courtroom during the trial. He lis a determined looking man, and to prevent him from' assaulting the pris- oner Marshal Shine took Ames into his office last Monday evening and di armed him of a large revolver. At 3:45 p- m. yesterday, when the jury, after having been out since noon, reported in favor of acquitting Davis, Ames was |at the Winchester Hotel obtaining | medical assistance for his wife, who was on the verge of collapse. Beads of perspiration stood on Davis’ |face as he stepped out of the iAppra(ser's building at the corner of Sansome and Washington streets and | looked about him, while his guards | stood about twenty feet on each side of him on the watch for the vengeful husband. Not more than a half min- ute elapsed before a horse-car bound for the ferry came along. Davis stepped quickly upon the front plat- form and heaved a sigh of relief at his escape. — e — Christmas Pictures.

It is not cer- tain they will conclude to-day, for in ! taking the last survey they may de- cide to call one or two more witnesses,, whose testimony would probably hold the attention of the court till to-mor- | row. The attorneys for the contestant were unable to say yesterday how much time they would take for testi- mony in rebuttal. While the end is impending, the lawyers are slow to re- linquish’ their open way to the witness stand. To expedite matters Judge Coffey re- fuses to hear argument on the more trivial objections raised by the attor- neys. “I don't want to restrict coun- sel unfairly, but I do want to finish this trial some time in the present gen- eration ’ he announced yesterday. More testimony was offered to prove the sanity of the testatrix. The most important witness of the day was Miss Helen ¥. Wagner. Other than Miss Warren, she was Miss Dolbeer's most intimate friend, and a bequest of $5000 in the will attests this close friend- ship. The witness was in almost daily company of the testatrix until the day of Miss Dolbeer's departure for Eu- rope. .The relations between them were such that confidences were mu- tually exchanged. In revealing some of these on the witness stand much light was thrown by Miss Wagner on the estimable character. of Miss Dolbeer. In one of , the numerous confidential chats matri- “I couldn’t care for'a man because of his money,” Miss Dolbeer had said. “I would never marry a title, for I think that is foolish. Nor could I marry a foreigner: I would marry none but an American. Social position has no at- traction for me. The man whom I would marry must have a work to do— he must be a man of active affairs and accomplish something in the world. He must have the quality of earnestness in life. Social position and money are not enough. 1 care too much for the life of # happy home and the affection in it.” Miss Wagner also described the many automobhile trips, social affairs and other diversions from which Miss Dolbeer derived much enjoyment. In all the intimate relations of their friendship the witness never detected a sign of failing mind in the testatrix. At the time the will was executed. Miss Wagner declared, Miss Dolbeer was undoubtedly of sound mind. DEFINES “SOCIETY GIRL. The cross-examination was some- what severe. Among other things, Miss Wagner denied that Miss Dolbeer was ‘“‘a soclety girl,” and when called on gave the following as her definition of the term: “A society girl is one who goes out all the time, is frivolous, has no serious thought in life, cares nothing for home or for love and affection, and is with- out deep feeling or emotion.” Miss Dolbeer was not such a girl in any particular, said the witness. “That's not my life either,” she fur- ther declared, when asked what part she took in society. | Miss Dolbeer wrote several letters to | Miss Wagner after leaving San Fran- | cisco in April, but witness presented only one of them. It was written in Paris a little over a month previous to the death of the testatrix in New York. To show that Miss Dolbeer was then in happy frame of mind and as indica- tive itself of a rational and sane mind the missive was introduced in evidence. In the date line the testatrix made a facetious use of French, with which she was struggling during her stay in Paris. The letter tells in a happy vein how she was enjoying herself and goes deny the eontention that she was in ill-health and disturbed mind while participating in the gayeties of the French capital. ' William W. Carson, cashier for Dol- beer & Carson Company, told of the intelligence and good judgment ex- hibited by the testatrix in looking aft- er her business affairs. The witness is a son of Willlam Carson, one of the heads of the firm, and had been a mony was discussed in a general way. ADVERTIEEMENTS. Wilson & Co. «...Furnishers to Men....

NEW USE OF PHOTOGRAPH. The proponents introduced a pho- tograph of Miss Dolbeer and it was| scrutinized by the jury. It is seme- what new in legal practice to employ photographs to supplement the testi- mony of witnesses as to the appear- | ance of a person and the portrayal of | character. Fortified by a New ank; decision Judge Coffey granted the re- Guest of the proponents. The opinion of J. Stanley Foster, as- sistant cashier of the Bowery Bank, New York, that Miss Dolbeer was of sound mind was added to the heap of cumulative testimony on this point. In the deposition read to the jury Fos- ter said he was a passenger on the Deutschland, on which the testatrix and Miss Warren crossed to Europe. Deponent had many conversations with Miss Dolbeer and she was at all times rational and coherent. Willlam G. Mugan, one of the ex- ecutors of the will, was recalled and asked if he did not say to Arthur H.
