The chips that pass in the night are
just now creating considerable trouble in
local police circles, and, of the many,
Grace Donohue and Velma Wilson are
becoming notorious. They were recently

vindi cation of their love affairs, and on
giving bonds for their appearance were
warned by the officers to leave the "Kang-
sroo," a notorious resort on Yakima ave-
nue. conducted by Chlnaman. Monday

Mrs. Pilomene Brassard, the putative
widow of the murdered "Tex" Bagwell,
was arrested Wednesday night on tn.
charge. of perjury. Mrs. Brsssard- Bag
well applied for letters Of administration
on the estate of N. S. Bagwell in favor OF
DR.. p. Frank. claiming to be the widow
of Bagwell. DIR. Frank was appointed adj
ministrator, and the alleged widow was
given q monthly allowance of $75. There
has been doubt in the minds of all con-
versant with the facts OF the case as
to the exact relations existing between
Bagwell and the defendant. Prosecuting
Attorney Rockford, however, has felt so
well satisfied that no marital obligations
were in force, that he made the COM
plant upon which the arrest was made,
alleging that while Mrs. Pilomene Bras
sard claimed she was married to Bagwell
on the 28th of September, 1892, by =
minister named Pulford, in the Hotel
Fife, Tacoma, and in the presence of a
man named Cate. that such marriage was
not performed; that said Cate was not
present at any alleged marriage, and that
Mrs. Brassard is not the widow of N. $,
Bagwell. The defendant appeared with
her counsel, I. p. Englehart. before JUS
tice Clark Thursday, waived examine
tion and was bound over in the sum Of
$3.50 for her appearance before the super
Tor court The defense claims that Mrs.
Brasssrd. Bagwell is being prosecuted
that in the first place the prosecution at
tempted to force her to appear at the cor
oner's inquest; then she was arrested on
the charge OF murder and held without
evidence until the October session OF the
court, and then discharged without trial !;
next an attempt was made to deprive her
OF a monthly allowance as widow OF Bag
we'll; next to bring her up for the theft
of Nick McCoy's jewelry and other prop
erty, and lastly the browning outrage
in which the public prosecutor. who is
also acting as the attorney OF the late
Bagwell's relatives in Texas. attempts to
prove 9 condition at public expense
which should be undertaken, il at all,
through civil process, and at the cost Of
those who are urging forward the litiea-
ton. The case has not been set, but will
probably come up for trial next week.
