Professor Earlston Says He
Was Never Married to
Miss Smith.
When Testifying in the Justice
Court He Said She Was
His Wife.
May Have to Answer to Bigamy and
Perhaps Perjury and One
More Felony.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL. |
9OS Broadway. Aug. %

J
Professor Eariston, the well-known
aeronaut, is daily adding to his trouble
by the many tales he tells while in the
Jail at Los Angeles. He is under arrest on
q serious charge, sworn to by the father of
a 15-year-old girl. Earlston thought he
had made every hing all right by marry
ing the girl, but word was received from
shis city that he had deserted wife here,
ana then he had a charge of bigamy
against him.
Now Earlston has added another chap
ter 10 his romances. He has stated be
never was married in this city, although
he took out a license to do so. This has
stirred up the Oakland family into which
he married, and they will not let the
matter rest. They declare that he was
married 10 Maude Smith, and that they
lived together for two months before he
deserted her.
If Earlston was not the husband of
Maude Smith he may also have a charge
of perjury 10 explain away. Some months
ago he had row with his brOther-in-law
and was arrested for disturbing the peace.
At that time Earlston said he was the
husband of Smiths sister and that he had
been wrongly treated. Now the Smiths
are intending that Professor Earlston
shall not escape until he has proved his
Innocence OF all the charges against him.
They intend to procure documentary evil
dence of the marriage and forward it to
Los Angeles, so that ne will either have to
answer to bigamy or betrayal or both.
The andlady at the house on Washing
ton street where the Earlstons lived says
that the professor did not treat his young
wife rightly and that she would have gone
hungry many times bad she depended on
her husband. Mr.. Minot, the father of
the Los Angeles girl, is doing all he can
10 see that Earlston is punished.
The professors chances of soaring above
the earth for a little while are very slim.

LAST OF DAVIES FERRY.
The Rails on Webster Street
Will Shortly Be Re-
moved.
Forfeiture of Franchise From the
Ferry Landing to the
Foothills.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,


SOS Broadway, Aug. %.
The last re mnant OF the Davie ferry ex-
element of 1894 will be reno we'd in few
days, and nothing tangible will remain of
the scheme that was full Of mystery from
start to finish. Every body wondered who
really backed the enterprise, and when its
stock was being sold its promoters told all
kinds OF stories of big profits, and when
it suddenly collapsed the project was
found to be thoroughly insolvent. Then
a street railroad to connect with the ferry
service was proposed, and everybody won
dered what mysterious power was back
ing it. A franchise was granted and forty
ieet of track was laid, and nothing more
was done. 1t now appears there was no
backing to it and that it was merely a
speculation that could not be worked.
The projected road was TO commence at
Thirteenth and Webster streets and go
out to the foothills. The passengers were
10 BE- rans.erred from ferry 10 streetcars,
and the intervening thirteen blocks be-
tween the ferry anu the street line the
passengers were to take advantage of the
free ride on the narrow-gauge local OF the
Southern Pacific. II was a lovely scheme,
as it appeared on paper, but the promot-
ers could not make it work.
In lew udys lue superintendent OF
Streets will take up the single rails that
were laid and the street will be free. The
line was to have been completed over a
year ago, but nothing has been done and
every term of the franchise has been
broken, and the City Council will pass an
ordinance ordering ii forfeited.
The street line depended on the ferry,
and when the public refused to patronize
the one the other was not needed. Since
the project was started, chiefly through
the efforts of John L. Davie, he has had
his reward by being elected Mayor, but
ths ferry has passed away entirely, al
though its memory will live long in the
useful record of its founder.

was an equivalent. No settlement could
be effected, so an arrest on criminal
charge was made. After listening to all

Police officer Andy Battle. while pa
trolling his beat beyond the I. & G.. N.
depot yesterday afternoon spotted a
camp Of young men in the chapparal
brush which ne thought meant no
good.
He made inquiries about the neigh
borhood and learned that several ar
ticles Of various kinds had been stolen
in the past few days. This led him
lay 1t to this crowd in the brush and
he decided to bag the whole layout.
Accordingly last night he secured the
aid OF Captain Brown, and Mounted
Officers Beck and Brown and Patrol
man Joe Khouri, went out and sur
rounded the place and arrested four
young men about nineteen or twenty
years of age, all of whom were in the
improvised habitation at the time. The
were VIM. Darlington, Dell Winters,
e. Gordon and Ed. Massey.
They had quite a comfortable lodg-
ing house fitted up in a thick cluster
of chapparal brush and seemed to
be enjoying their existence extremely.
1t was between Medina and Frio streets
near Zavalla in a vacant block.
When arraigned before Recorder
Lewis this morning, charged with
vagrancy, all pleaded guilty and were
each fined ten dollars or thirty days.
