That she did not succeed was due to the prompt efforts of J. A. Fatjo, a boatman, who rescued the woman from the boat | landing before she sank. She was taken in a hysterical condition to her home, 1410 Brush street, and is being closely watched to prevent a second attempt. Mrs, cCarroll left her home about 1 o'clock and after wandering about the streets for an hour arrived at Lake Mer- ritt. When she saw the water she made a dash for the boathouse float and jumped in, but Fatjo was on the float and promptly dragged her out. BShe was taken to the police station In the patrol wagon and later removed to her home. It was the trial of Bud Scott, an ex- soldier, on a charge of battery preferred by Alexander Carroll, the woman’s hus- band, that temporarily unbalanced her mind. Scott was accused of paying too much attention to Dollle Carroll, her daughter, and one evening he went to the house and engaged in a fight with Car- roll. For this he was arrested and his defense was that he had gone at a signal from the girl, who was being mistreated by her stenfather. On the stand voth Carroll and the girl denied this, In speaking of his wife's attemnt to commit suicide, Carroll, who conducts a harness store at 111 San Pablo avenue, said tcday: “Iiver since the trial my wife has been brooding over the unpleasant notorlety, although she was not called to the wit- ness stand. She felt that a certain dis- grace sttached to her daughter's name and she has been inconsolable. She has acted queerly ever since, but I noticed nothing unusual when I went home at noon todav. Scott is still hanging around here, although my daughter called him a cur when she left the witriess stand.” —_———————— EGG INCUBATOR SAVES, BABE.

Edelen on Lonely Street in Oakland PIONIONED TIGHTLY AND PUT TO SLEEP Careless Money Lender Is Relieved of $382, Which Ile Negligently Carried »s Morsel for Criminals OAKLAND, Feb. 26.—Using chloro- form in lieu of pistol or bludgeon, the usual weapons of the footpad, two men tonight attacked James H. Edelen, a money lender, near his home at 1378 Webster street, and, after rendering him unconscious by the use of the an- esthetic, robbed him of $382 in gold, a diamond ring and a plain gold ring. Leaving him senseless on a lawn in front of the home of Chester Deering, at 1355 Webster street, the robbers fled down Webster street and made their escape in the darkness. One of the members of the Deering family, hearing the cries of Edelen when he was assailed by the footpads, hastened to the telephone and notified the police of the robbery, and Sergeant Henderson and Patrolman Kyle hur- ried to the scene, but by the time they arrived the robbers had disappeared. After a short search the officers found Edelen, still very much dazed from the effects of the chloroform, making his way to his home, and he, not knowing that the robbery had already been re- ported to the pol'ce, informed them that he was the victim of the footpads, and told them of his loss. Henderson and Kyle made a careful search for the holdup men, but were unable to find any trace of them. So sudden was the assault on Edelen that he did not see the face of either of his assallants, and was not able to give a good description of them. He said, however, that he suspected two men who had today pald him a large sum of money, and who knew of his practice of carrying home at night the money tak- en in during the day. - Edelen bad attended the last perform- ance at the Bell Theater, and had walked up Fourteenth street to Webster and down that street toward his Home. When in front of the Deering residence he was suddenly seized from behind by one of the footpads, who pinned his arms while the other pressed a handkerchief saturat- ed with chioroform over his' mouth and nose. Only once did he free himself enough to ery for help, and it was this shout which reached the ears of Chester Deering. Edelen struggled desperately ‘with " his assailants, but he was powerless to es- cape the suffocating fumes of the drug, and after a2 moment sank ' unconscious fo the lawn. When he recovered the men had disappeared and their victim found that he had been robbed of everything of value hé possessed. Edelen informed the police that he be- lleved he had been followed from his place of business at 17823 Seventh street by the men, who had watched him and knew that he carried’ a large amount of money home with him at night. After he had recovered from the effects of the drug he told the following story of the robbery: I had just left the th ing down Fourteenth street, Webster toward my home. any one following me, but I am satisfled that the men had dogged my footsteps and knew just what they were after. As I rsashad ths pluce whers I was attacxed I was grabded from belind by the arms, and’ then the seconc man fressed the handkerchief gver my mouth. 1 made tie best fight I could and ‘nanaged to shout for help once, but in.a mament th.s. oblo- roform cyerpowered me, and when I cama to miyself I fourd that T had been robbed of alf the money 1 Ka¢ with me, also of a wfamord agu'a_but I am sure 1 know who st was trat rebbed me.
