THIRD HUSBAN Epecial Dispatch to The Call SANTA ROSA, Feb. 13—Mrs. -Abigail Hall to-day filed a suit for divorce |@gainst her husband, Walter C. Hall, a | dentist of Petaluma. The grounds on which the divorce is sought are being kept secret. Mrs. Hall is the widow of James P. Treadwell, the young cap- italist who killed himself at the foot of Mount Lowe two years ago after frying to murder his wife. From him the woman inherited over $200,000. Mrs. Hull was Miss Abigail Waters of Petaluma and was known throughout So- noma County for her beauty. She went from here some years ago to San Jose to study at the conservatory of music at the niversity of the Pacific. There her beau- ty attracted widespread attention, and her teacher, Leon Driver, fell in love with her. A marriage followed soon after. Hap- piness dwelt with the couple for a few years and two children blessed the union. A shadow came over the family home, however, when Mrs. Driver met young Treadwell. He at once became Infatuated with her. The son of J. F. Treadwell, owner of the Treadwell mine in Alaska, the largest In the world, he had a vast fortune at his command. He had lived in & wild sort of way and had become in- volved in scandals notorious the State over. Nevertheless he won the heart of Mrs. Driver. A divorce followed, and the beautiful Abigail Waters became Mrs. Treadwell in June, 1903. Treadwell for a time braced up,” but after a few months again took to drink- ing. While with his wife in Southern California in Octber of the same year, in a jealous rage he beat her on the head with a pistol. Thinking he had killed her, he shot himself. Treadwell suc- cumbed, but the girl survived. His es- tate passed to her. She returned to Peta- luma, where she met Hall, who had been her sweetheart in her younger days, and their marriage was celebrated in the sum- mer of 1904, —————— TAKE UP MEYER CASE.

JURY SEVEN TO FIVE | ! IN McNULTY CASE. Fails to Agree After a Night of Stormy Deliberation. TO BE TRIED AGAIN AT ONCE thing a jury may do. | “The verdict did not surprise me, because I am never surprised at any- I believe our case was strong and that there should have been a conviction, but there have been many remarkable experiences with the panel from which this jury was drawn, such as the disagree- ments In thg cases of Percy Pembroke, Henry A. Logan and Otto Hasse. We will insist on another trinl immediately.”—Statement of District Attor- ney J. J. Allen, immediately after the jury in the McNulty case had been discharged. | OAKLAND, Feb. 13.—The jury in the | case of Lester McNulty, charged with assaulting Dorothy Olsen, has dis- agreed. Seven jurymen voted for ac- quittal and five for the conviction of the debonair young Berkeleyan. From 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon until 3 o'clock this morning, when the jury | was summoned before Superior Judge Harris, the twelve men voted without change In most came to blows in the heat of argument over the evidence, while less belligerent members of the twelve were compelled to exercise all of their in- genuity to keep the hot discussions within the range of parliamentary de- bate. Every ballot that was taken produced the same result and the vote stood as follows: . acquittal—Emil Kirchoff, contractor, Clement avenue, Alameda; Robert H. r, liveryman, les; David Tyson, farmer, | Niles: ‘W merchant, 1071 _Fifty- fourth street, d; John D. Kelley, printer, Oaklan: Henry Wieking, saloon- keeper, Eighth and Washington streets, Oak- land; M. G. Davis, retired merchant, 575 Eighth street, Oakland. For conviction—B. D. Gray, carpenter, Oak- land; George Renner, drayman, 2421 Buena Vista avenue, Alameda; J. E. Holmes, mer- chant, 1415 San Pablo avenue; Thonms W Corder, capitalist, Twelfth and Oak streets, | Gakland; C. G. Cole, ex-policeman and real estate dealer, 1233 Myrtle street, Oakland. It was 5 o'clock before the jury went to sleep this morning, although Judge Harkis ordered. them locked up at 1L o'clock last night. In the battle of words in the jury-room the lie was assed frequently. P When Judse Harris decided that the | jurors shoyld stay all night he directed | Deputy Sherift Jeff Scanlan, who was | acting as balliff, to spread their cots in the courtroowm and it was expected that they would immediately retire, as it was after 11 o'clock. But the jurors were not in a retiring mood. Their blood was up and they continued the wrangling until 3 o'clock, when David Tyson. glancing at the clock on the wall, suggested that they all “turn in.” Ahey went to bed in the lowly cots that the county furnishes and at 7 o'clock this worning, when they were called by Bailiff Stantan; théy ate their breakfast in silence and agreed to dis- agree. They had been out more than fourteen hours. ROW iIN JURY-ROOM. The seven that stood steadfastly for acquittal from the time the case was submitted argued long and earnestly with the five who wanted to convict. | “Are you afraid of outside criticism?” .king is said to have asked Renner. I'm not,” replied Renner, hotly. | “When I went on this jury I swore | to eive a fair verdict,” Wieking is re- | ported to have said. "My outh is more | | For 2320 to me than any lie that can be passed If 1 believed McNulty gullty d. i but 1 don't 1 would veote to | think he is.” ~ W. H. Brown, the foreman, suggested that they might compromise by find- ing McNulty guilty of simple assault. Renner objected to this vigorously, and in doing so made remarks that excited the ire of the seven who insisted on acquittal. It was then that Wieking took exception to what Renner and others said regarding outside influ- ences. \ “I'm a mau and I've sworn to do my duty,” shouted Wieking. “There is a,reasonable doubt—a grave doubt— of this man's guilt, and according to the court's instructions I must find him not guilty.” Renner, Cole and Holmes jumped to their feet at this and for a time it looked like trouble, but the other jur- ors interfered and peace was regtored. Several of the jurors stood facing each other with clenched fists, when the more. peaceful element took a hand In the proceedings and induced them resume their seats. ‘0"‘ respect to the proposed compromise by which a verdict of gullty of simple as- sault might have been rendered, George Renner refused to harken to it. The juror maintained from the outset that McNulty was guilty of the offense charged. Renner would not listen to compromise, even when it appeared that the other eleven jurors might have agreed on that verdict. Bimple wssault would have carried with it a penalty of three months’ imprison- ment in the County Jail as the maximum sentence. ‘When Judge Harris went on the bench at 9 o’clock this morning he asked Bailiff Scanlan to ascertain whether the jury had agreed, and when he was advised to the contrary he ordered the jurors to be brought into the courtroom, was assured by each that an agreement was impossi- ble and discharged them. After the jury had been discharged a copy of the Penal Code was found on the table of the jury- room, but it was not ascertained how it was taken there. The officers of the court, however, attached little import- ance to that fact. ENTERTAINED DOUBTS. According to jurors who were inter- viewed after they were discharged the questions which were principally dt cussed was the motive which led Miss Olsén to take the $500 from the Mc- | Nultys, and McNulty's plea that the i occurrence was only a flirtation. | “Deputy District Attorney Everett J. Brown, who conducted most of the prose- cution, said he was disappointed at the verdict and was at a loss to understand it. He added: v It was a strong case that we had and it is a strange verdict, but it does not surprise me. I say any mors now. =But Judge ‘Harris has set second arralgnment for next Monday and the District Attorney's office ill insist upon & speedy hearing. I think &e“n:ond irial will begin within two weeks. District Attorney Allen sald: The verdict did not surprise me, because T am never surprised at anything a jury may convict, such ‘as the disagresments In the cases of Percy Pembroke, Henry A. Logan and Otto Hasse. We will insist on another trial im- mediately. 'W. H. Brown, foreman of the jury that tried McNulty, said: The evidence was not strong rant a conviction. the deliberation room two jurors | her torn clothing and the fact that she took money from the McNultys. There was nothing 5 do but give the defendant the benefit of the doubt. JURORS GIVE REASONS. Jurors who were interviewed said: HENRY WIEKING 1 simply did what I thought it was my Quiy to do—voted for ac- quitial: I have eeen the house and lawn where Dorothy Olsen says she was assaulted and her story is, at least, improbable. While I would not ‘like to say that the girl did not tell the truth on the witness stand, she created a doubt, I think, in the minds of most of the jurors when she testified. o ROBERT H, BONNER—I don't want to dis- cuss the case, because {t would De useless, but we certainly had a lively session. When we went to bed at 3 o'clock this morning we handn't changed once. I think we took five ballots and it was the same every time—7 to 5. I voted with the majority because I did mot think that McNulty willfully assaulted the young woman. M. G. DAVIS—I voted for acquittal because I had the courage to vote as I conscientiously belleved was right. DAVID TYSON--1 could see no other way than to vote for acquittal. There was nothing proved against McNuity and the girl admitted that she had acCepted several bribes. I fol- lowed the court's instructions, as 1 had sworn to do, and gave the defendant the benefit of the reasonable doubt. JOHN D. KELLEY—I believe McNulty told a truthtul story concerning his flirtation with Miss Olsen on the Telegraph-avenue car. C. G. COLE—In my opinion the evidence was strongly convincing of McNulty's gullt, and under no circumstances would I have voted for acquittal. Reduced to its last analysis, the question which I felt that I had to consider was simply this: Did Miss Olsen tell the truth on the witness stand, or did Lester McNulty? Mies Olsen, in her testimony, declared that the assault’took place at one polnt, MeNuity sald another. The girl's testimony was fully corroborated by Miss Forbes and Wallen, while McNulty's was unsupported. Miss Olsen testi- fled to certain facts during the ride on the car, in which she was borne out by Conductor Alvis. Again McNulty's denial of her statement was backed by no other evidence than his own tes- timony. 1 firmly belleve Lester McNuity guilty of the offense charged against him. NO QUESTION OF GUILT. B. H. GRAY—If ever a man was gullty of an offense Lester C. McNulty was guilty of assaulting Miss Olsen. | believed that from to conviet, evidence against enough to warrant a girl made contradic- she made herself lia- when she accepted McNulty was not strong conviction. I think the tory statements and that ble to serlous criticism money from McNulty. THOMAS W. CORDER—There was no doubt in my mind that McNulty was guilty and I voted to convict him. The evidence was plain and convincing. I believe the girl told the truth and the fact that she took money from the McNuitys has nothing to do with the main facts of the case. N JOHN B. HOLMES—It 18 true that I voted to convict McNulty, but 1 don’t think it nec- essary to make pubiic my reasens for doing so. GEORGE RENNER—I held out for convic- tion from first last and would have done 50 until the crack of doom. There was no’ ground for compromise that I could see. McNulty was either guilty of the crime with which he was charged or he was not. I believe that he was guilty. The cvidence of the defense was the most damnable concoction I ever listened to. It was to me a case of soclety, Influence and money against a poor and I believe virtuous domestic;, with the balance in favor of coln and influence. There was only McNulty's testi- mony as to the alleged filrtation. All other testimony was against him. 1 belleve Miss Olsen told the truth. Her direct examination occupled only two hours, while Attorney Frick consumed three and one-half days in cross- examining her, and only in a few minor de- talls did she change her testimony.

Again Thrash Berkeley Rival WILL INVADE CAMPUS Says Sam Hellman Did Not Apologize for Editorial as Per Forced Agreement Special Dispatch to The Call STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. 13.— The war betaween Morris Oppenheim, editor of the Stanford Chaparral, the uni- versity funny magazine, and Editor Sam Hellman of the Dally Californian, the! University of California student paper, is to be carried to an uncompromising tion to again invade the peaceful campus at Berkeley, there seek out Hellman and administer to him a beating which will cause him to forever tremble at the mere sound of the name of Oppenheim. The renewal of hostilities is caused by the failure of Hellman to modify, as per agreement, a recent editorial in the Daily Californian branding Oppenheim as a coward for his action in the recent stu- dent troubles at Stanford University. The agreement was forced last Sunday, when Oppenheim, with the ald of a corking right and left to the face, asked Hellman to make a due modification of the can- tankerous article. Hellman promised, shook hands over the affair and assured Oppenheim on the latter’s departure that everything would be made satisfactory. But with the absence of Oppenheim's goodly right and left came a reversal of feeling on the part of Editor Sam Hell- man. He nursed his bruised features and his heart rebelled at changing his pos! tion, The publicity given to his defeat at the hands of Oppenheim did not heighten his desire to make a change of base. Be- sides, his enemy was fifty miles away, and he could be on the guard for another surprise from the Stanford camp. So the apology was delayed. Oppenheim waited in his Stanford room until the Monday issue of the Dally Cali- fornian reached him. There was no apol- ogy anywhere in its columns. The indig- nation in his heart rose high and his wrath was terrible to behold. He swore vengeance. He upbraided himself for let- ting Hellman off so easily when he had him within reach. To-day he received a letter from Hell- man stating that the editorial would not be modified. Oppenheim's decision was swift. He announced that he would make a second trip to Berkeley and that Hell- man would never survive the affray. In the meantime Oppenheim has been called by the faculty committee on stu- dent affairs at Stanford to explain his first advance upon Hellman. It may be that the faculty will take action regard- ing the matter. GENERAL BROOKE IS FETED BY COMRADES Major General John R. Brooke, retired, commander in chief of the Loyal Legion of the United States, was the honored guest at a reception and banquet given at the Occidental Hotel last night by | California Commandery of that military order.

REDWOOD CITY, Feb. 18.—The Board of Supervisors has determined that Half- moon Bay, at least for the present, is am- Ply equipped with a water supply and needs no competition ia this direction. The board has refused to advertise for bid for a franchise for a competing water system on the ground that t franchise will in the near future be mu more valuable than it is at present. An application to lay pipes, mains and conduits along the roads and highways of San Mateo County and to operate and maintain a water supply system at Half- moon Bay was flled before the board by A. G. Stoll. Through his attorney Stoll pleaded that owing to the rapid increase in the population of Halfmoon Bay all new quasi-public enterprises should b heartily encouraged by the authorities of the county. He argued that he was sim- ply asking for an opportunity to bid upon a franchise which is open to the consid- eration of any one who may care to seek t. He suggested that the present stipply of water at Halfmoon Bay will soon come Inadequate and that some m should be taken to furnish a proper s ply. The opinions of Stoll, however, w not shared by the board, and upon motion the consideration of the entire matter was laid over until April 16. ——— BODY IS FOUND IN BAY.
