JURY HAS STORMY SESSION The star chamber session of the jury was not a peaceable one.. At 10:07 o'clock in the morning Judge Conley ordered the talesmen into the custody of the deputy sheriffs. Charges from both the proSecution and the defense were read by Judge Conley with the. usual instructions. From - the ttme they were ordered into custody until 11:30 o'clock stren- uous argument took placé within® the small room. Three jurymen stood for conviction agalnst nine in favor of ac- quittal. The three men wlio heid fheir ground were Ed Schultz, -713" Mission street; S. W. Robinson, 2109 Bush street, and Joseph Michaels, 1902 Sut- ter street.. The three men would not swerve from their stand and as-a com-| promise, looking toward an early agreement, the jury appeared before the court and requested that the orig- inal indictment of perjury against Treadwell be given to them. At the court’s order the document was placed in the hands of the foreman A minute examination of the Indict- ment among the jurymen followed, and as a result Robinson and Schultz changed to acquittal, Michaels unyield- cisco last night that lumber in large quantities”had’ drifted ashore at Point Arena, .on the Mendocino. coast..

They based their convincing argument for acquittal on the ground that the pro: ecution failed to prove that the stat ments of Treadwell before the grand jury were intentionally wrong, and to this argument Robinson and Schultz | vielded.

It seems certain that the new features, while seemingly deepening the mystery for the time being, will aid materially.in an early solution of the problem | which has kept the police au- thorities or both sides of the bay busy day and night for almost a week. An investigation of -infor- mation given the Oakland police vesterday ‘established the fact® that { Daniel Donohue, according.to ‘state- ments of the deceased woman, was not her legal husband,:but that she became his consort after having quar- reled with a Frenchman named Jo= seph Berry, with whom she had lived in this city. Even Berry, in. spite- of the fact that he and thie woman had secured a license and gone through |2 ceremony, was not .legally mar- | ried to her, because a man to whom she had been married in Philadelphia: |and from whom she had never been divorced was and is still alive. Further than proving the-fact.that the woman was not poisoned, the ex- amination of the vital organs by the, Oakland city chemist was productive of no restlts, and the manner in which, death was caused Is still a mystery, Donohue is being kept under-the strict- est surveillance, and it became known that he had Dbeen put .through 3 sweating process by Captain Peter- sen, the outcome of which was un- | sdtisfactory because of an apparent re- luctance on the part of the man t¢ answer questions. Investigations at the scene of th murder and the various houses which have figured in the mystery brought no results of importance. 4 WOMAN FEARED BERRY According to the Information securéd by the Oakland police yesterday from a source upon which they have been working for the last two or three days. the murdered woman lived in mortal fear of Berry, the Frenchman - with whom she formerly comsorted. Berry was seen in this city on June 12, bat since that time no trace of him has been-found. - Information to the effect that Donohue was aware of the exist- ence of Berry and knew of the deceased woman’s fear of him was also secured. His silence since her death in regard to the matter has caused much specul tion. An effort is being made to di whether he has any knowledge of the circumstances surrounding the murder.
