CLAMS LV “HIPNOTIZED HeR SPECIAL CABLE %0 THE CALL, LOS ANGELES, June 18.—Not until today did i.rs. Arilla Scheck, the self- confessed accomplice of Ernest 'G. | Stackpole in the murder of heér hus- band, Joel Scheck, seem to reéalize. the horror of the crime in the eommission of which she assisted, and the realiza- tion has prostrated her. She was taken to the funeral of her husband yesterday, but was denied a last ook at the face of the man with whom she now says she passed two happy years. She did see the casket lowered into tue grave, and the sight unnerved her. Today she sent for the police matron and voluntarily again recited the awful detalls of the tragedy. “Oh, It is like an awful dream!" she mpaned. - “1 did hot realize what I was doing. 1 tell you I was hypnotized by tugt fman Stackpole. I can see it all now, how little by little his influence upon me grew and how as our relations became what they sliould not have been 1 would obey every request he made of me. I do not want yeu to think me & worse woman than I am. I am bad enough, God khows;, but I never of my own free will would have consented to my own husband's death. I be- lieved everything Stackpole sald. He told me he loved me, and I believed him. He said we would go away and live a happy life together, and with my husband’s Ihsurance he would engage in some business which would make life easy for both of us. I am not sure even now that he could not compel me t6 follow him. Please do not let him get near me in court. I hate him now but I am afraid of him. I do not care what they do with me, but I want them to hurry and settle the matter. This |lohg walt With the memory of that horrible night before me will drive me crazy unless they do something.” . Then she insisted upon again telling how the murder was committed, giving detalls which the detectives have cor- roborated with other evidence. Stackpole maintains a stolid indiffer- ence, refusing to make any statements and defying the detectives to prove that he is the murderer. He has boast- fully stated that it will take more than the unsupported confession of the woman to send him to the gallows.

Little One_:; Frame Is Racked by Convul- sions as Result. BERKELEY, Jine 18.—A mother's carelessness in leaving her five-months- old babe exposed to the burning rays of the afternoon sun is to cost tiny John Suendermann his life, physicians hav- ing announced that the intense heat is responsible for convulsions that now rack the baby's frame and which cannot but prove fatal. Only a few hours more of life, at the utmost, is given the little one to live. Mrs. John Suendermann meanhwhile wrings her hands in agony, and heaps reproaches upon herself for the lapse of memory that occurred while her lit- tle infant was lying face up to the flerce sun yesterday afternoon. The Suendermanns reside at Eighth street and University avenue, in West Berkeley. The father is a plumbér. Mrs. Suendermann put her babe inte its car- riage yesterday afternoon and wheeled the carriage to the porch at the front of the house. Then other duties called her away, and she entirely forgot that the babe was alone on the porch with- out protection from the sun. When she returned to the babe it was in convulsions, overcome by the heat. Dr. Benton was called. He gave the babe treatment that was calculated to lessen the power of the convulsions that shook the little one's frame, but the throes did not abate. Throughout the night they continued, and were inter- mittent today, Hope of saving the baby's life has been abandoned.

Lennon today. The petition for the writ was filed on March 14, the day previous to the date set for the resolution adopting the yiewers’ report, and a temporary injurction was issued against the Su- pervisors, restraining them from tak- ing any furthér action on the report.
