STHTE STLONS WANT PASSES Special Dispatch to The Call. ALBANY, N. Y., March 27.—How ardent is the desire of members of the Legislature for a renewal of the pass privilege was shown today when the Senate by a vote of 23 to 19 insisted upon tacking to an anti-pass bill, in- troduced by Senator Brackett, a pro- | vision requiring railroad companies to | carry members of the Legislature and | all other Btate officials free of charge, | Senator Brackett protested vigorously against the amendment, but without avail. His bill.in its original form pro- | vided that no free transportatior shall be issued by railroads except to their own employes and to men in charge of | shipments of livestock. The Senate railroads. committee in- | serted the amendment. When the bill | came up in committee of the whole | Senator Grady advocated Its passage on the ground that it was a hardship for members of the Legislature to be required to pay their fares and Senator { McCarren took the same ground. He accused Senator Brackett of laboring lunder the impression that passes in- fluenced members of the Legislature in | their action upon railroad legislation. | “I object to having my bill changed,” | said Semator BracKett. * “I regard the | issuance of passes as robbery of the | stockholders of railroad corporations and as a mean and petty form of de- bauchery.” “We are getting too good,” said Senator Grady. “We ought to be above with harps in our hands. I am glad to say the reform wave passed over me without hitting me.” Senators Raines and McCgrren also spoke in favor of the committee amend- ment, which was adopted. RS | MRS, LE DOUX NOT ALONE WHEN McVICAR WAS KILLED That Mrs. Le Doux was not alone in the crime which resulted in the death of McVicar is the |rapidly growing belief, and, though City Attorney Norton stoutly maintains that she committed the crime alone, the theory is strengthened by the fact that she was seen with a man at the depot. Belief That She Had an Accomplice G}/owzhg Man Tried to Check Big Trunk at the Depot. Buys Ticket for Himself and "Woman for Amador. Male Friend Mysteriously Disappears From Train. Special Dispatch to The Call. STOCKTON, March 27.—The be- lief is growing that 'a man who is as yet unknown helped Mrs. Le Doux in the crime for which she is in - jail rere. That a man was with her trying to get the body of McVicar checked as baggage at the Southern Pacific station i§ certain, for several witnesses saw - higi. That a2 man bought two tickets for-Jackson, Ama- dor County, when the two wanted to go to Martells, the end of the electric railroad. connection with the steam railroad from Galt to Ione, is also cer- tain, but the baggage-man here would not check to the station wanted . and he replied to the man’s complaint that he should have brought his baggage earlier. MAN SEEN AT DEPOT WITH MRS. LE DOUX MISSING It is believed that the man jumped the outgoing northbound 1 o’clock train, leaving the woman to get out of the difficulty as best she could. The officers say no man was implicated, but it,is significant that a new Grand Jury is t6 be impaneled to indict the woman, when she is in jail a confessed accomplice of a mythical person. That move is not understood unless the au- thorities want a bench warrant for an unknown man. While the public is discussing the cold-bloodedness of the murder, the consummate nerve of the one who drugged him and beat out his life, the coolness and hardihood it must have taken to do the deed, place the man in a trunk purchased for the purpose and have it taken to a train for shipment as baggage, Mrs. Le Doux is appar- ently unconcerned and indifferent as to consequences. POSSESSES AN APPETITE DESPITE HER POSITION She passed a quiet night in the jail, and this morning ate her breakfast with apparent relish. Though when on the way to Stockton from Antioch she inquired whether she could have an attorney, she has made no attempt to secure one since her arrival. It is known that the morning of her arrest she telephoned to-Jackson for an at- torney, but was unable to reach the man she sought. The rule excluding interviewers from the jail was rigidly adhered to. Not a person outside of the jail offi- cials saw the woman. If she sought an attorney, none appeared in answer to her summons. Her place of con- finement is located on the second floor, in a large cell known as the female ward. It is the best apart- ment in the prison for. prisoners and is located just across the hall from the rooms occupied by Chief Jailer Benjamin and family. Mrs. Benjamin looked after the prisoner. ON VERGE OF COLLAPSE WHEN CELL IS REACHED There are no other women in the jail. Last night she had a special meal prepared for her, the regular supper hour having passed when she arrived.~ When Mrs. Le Doux had mounted the steps to a cell she was on the verge of collapse. Although she maintained a bold front when fac- ing the crowd, the tension and excite- ment told on her. She was early to bed and it was a late hour this morn- ing before she arose. She is taking the prison fare, and thus far no good | angel has appeared to offer her aid. ! X - - L L NO PO oo The District Attorney will probably not bring about her arraignment until after the Coroner’sinquest. This will be done just as soon as Coroner Southworth secures the final report of the chemist with whom he placed McVicar’s stomach, The Coroner re- fuses to divulge the name of the man who is making the examination. He heard from him this afternoon by tel- ephone shortly before-5 o'clock. His partial report was that he had found no irritant poison in the contents of the stomach, and that by tomorrow he would probably be able to deter- mine whether more subtle poison had entered the organ. LITTLE CREDENCE PLACED IN THE POISON THEORY The poison theory does not receive much credence, but as the inquest will be directed chiefly to establishing the manner of McVicar’s death, the final report of the chemist is of ut- most importance. Much of the evi- dence held against the woman will probably be brought out at a prelim- inary examination. ) It has been a practice in somg‘cases here, to avoid publicity, by folding the defendants for trial by-indictment. Unless a new Grand Jury is at once impaneled this cannot be done in the Le Doux woman's case. There is no Grand Jury at the present titne, the body impaneled 1905 having re- ceived its final dacinrge, only ' last week. g : i Fr HOLDS THAT WOMAN DID 2 THE MURDER UNAIDED District Agtd‘ffi?}f‘ Norton declared | this morning that. the d,,“{ of the crime were all he now seeks.

General Wood returned to the United States by that route on a mail steamship, and according to the ruling of the War Department he is not entitled to the reg- ulation 7 cents a mile for the trip from Manila to San Francisco, via Hongkong and Japan. General Wood is further di- -rected to refund the difference between ‘the allowance made him at the rate of.7 . cents a mile and his actual expenses. General Wood returned. to the Philip- pines via Europe. For this he has prop- erly received the regulation 7 cents a mile, as he took that route by orders authorized by the President. § 3 CHITA, East Siberla, March 27.—A ‘court-martial here-today sentenced to death thirtcen postal oficials' who par- ticipated in the recent strika. s + JECUTOR AND CONCERNED IN THE TRUNK TRAGEDY.
