DR.. BEALE'S TELEPHONE.
How He Has Won Over His
Two AccompliCes.
They Prefer to Serve g Sentence Themselves
to Giving Him Up 10 Justice-The ssc-
ond Examination To-Day.

DR.. Beale- Haven n-Harper-Hunter, and no
one knows what else, for the man has had
so many names that he has forgotten all Of
them himself has been working q peculiar
telephone for the past week or two.
He has languished in the tanks Of the
City Prison since his arrest. and so well has
he worked it that the chances are he will
ultimately escape punishment for the MUIR
der OF Mary Alice Carroll, on which charge
he is now held ia default OF $4,000
1t will be remembered that Hattie Gra-
ham, the doctors mistress and his accom-
plice at 404 Golden Gate avenue, was ar
rested al the same time as the doctor.
The former was put in the larger Teceiv-
ing room OF tile prison hospital and the doe
tor in the ordinary cells outside in prison
among the common drunks and yagtants.
Later Mrs. DR.. Haven. the doctors alleged
wife, who is known to have also been his
assistant at 228 Post street. was arrested
and put in The prison hospital, but In e
private room.
Shortly after the last arrest Dr.. Beale-
Haven was removed from the cells in the
City Prison to the tanks which adioin the
prison hospital, but are separated from it
By thick wall in which there are grStngs
for ventilation.
A few days after the removal of DR..
Beale 10 the tanks the prison officials
noticed that both Hattie Graham aud Mrs.
Dr. Haven, who we're a. the time ayOwed
enemies and rivals for the doctors affec-
tiuns, knew much more about him aud his
condition than they could have possibly
learned from any one but the doctor HIM
self.
So long as the two women were kept
apart the doctor seemed TO make little head
way with his defense. He got $500 OF
hattie GrahRm's money for his attorneys,
and then Hattie herself seemed sorry she
had helped him and refused the aid OF
eounss Of Dr.. Beale's lawyers and sent for
George a. knight.
just after this she and Mrs. DR.. Haven
became friends, aud Hattie GTahRm's lawyer
was to defend Mrs. DR.. Haven as well.
By close watching the police ascertained
that DR.. Beale was in daily communication
with his two female dupes by means of the
Ventilators in bis cell. and they have at
times been interested listeners 10 the con-
yersati0n between the parties.
Itwas hoped that Miss Graham and Mrs. DR..
Haven would, despite the doctors cOaXBR
through his improvsed "ph1ne," stand
firm and let the man suffer for his crime,
but it is now believed that be has coaxed
them ever.
Yesterday It was announced that Miss
Graham and Mrs. DR.. Haven had decided
not to accept the services or George a.
knight in their own behalf, but TO take the
doctors attorneys and join forces with him.
The preliminary examination Of the women
takes place to-day, and II is more than prob
able that they Will refuse to testify.
The detectives believe that Hattie Graham
and Mrs. DR.. Haven were the tools Of
DR.. Beale, and hoped to prove that fact.
"If the women prefer serving q sentence
in States prison 10 giving up the real cul-
prit," said one of the officers yesterday, 1--WE
have nothing to say, OF course. We have q
far better case against them both than we
have against Beae, but our case against
him Is strong enough"
