FOLLY OF A
YOUNG GIRL
Hattie Heritage Thought She
Could Not Live With
out Her Friend.
She Swallowed a Dose of Arsenic
and It Is Doubtful if She
Will Recover.

Hattie Heritage, pretty girl Is years
old, attempted to commit suicide last
evening at her parents residence, 119 Sill
yer street, by swallowing dose OF arsenic
On April 4 the girls constant COM
panion and friend, Emily Griffiths, COM
mitted suicide in the same manner. Her
lover, James Strice, had decided to 60 to
Los Angeles and Emily met him by ap-
pointment on the night before he was to
leave at Fourth and Harrison streets. She
pleaded with him not to go away and
leave her and when she could not shake
his resolution she told him she had before
leaving her home 10 keep the appoint
ment put some arsenic in bottleful of
soda water and had swallowed it.
Slrice rushed her to the Receiving Hos
pitai and everything possible was done
for her, but the poison had already taken
effect and she died.
The unexpected death OF her companion
made Hattie despondent and she was con-
stantly grieving at her loss. Almost
every day she visited her grave, carrying
with her bunch of flowers. She would
remain beside the grave for hours, weep
ing and bewaling her loss.
She told her parents and friends that
she could not live without Emily. She
had been a particularly bright and cheer
full girl before her friends death, and it
was hoped that time would bring her
round again.
During the absence of her parents last
evening Hattie went to a corner grocery
and bought box OF rough on rats and a
bottle of soda water. She went home, and
emptying the soda water into tumbler
poured IN nearly all the box Of arsenic
and swallowed the contents.
After swallowing the poison she became
remorse-stricken, and rushing out OF the
house. met a brother of Emily Griffiths
and told him she had taken poison. She
begged him to take her to doctor, but he
ran till he came across a policeman, who
summoned the patrol-wagon, and she
was driven to the Receiving Hospital.
DR.. Thompson at once applied the usual
remedies, and it is possible that the girl
may recover.

CUPID Wins At SEA.
Attorney Titus and Miss Mabel
Love Marry in a
Tug.
A Midnight Ceremony Defeats the
Legal Limit of Twelve
Months.

Attorney Frank Titus and Miss Mabel
Love were married at sea early Wednes-
dav morning, on the tug Amy.
The wedding party, which consisted of
a friend of the bride and a friend of the
groom, were driven hurriedIy from the
Cafe Zinkand about midnight Tuesday, 10
the tug, which lay at the Folsom street
wharf. In a few minutes the little craft
was steaming through the Golden Gate,
and once outside the Heads the ceremony
was soon over.
The reason the couple were married in
that way was, they say, to make the cere-
mony legal. Mr. Titus was divorced but
few months ago, and the law makes it
illegal for a divorc rced person to marry in
the State before a year after the granting
of divorce.
AS in other States where the law has
been tested, the way to avoid the law is to
go to some sister State where there is 10
such law or. as in this case, be married
at sea. 1t has been given as the opinion
of many good lawyers that the marriage
is perfectly valid. The bride is the daugh-
ter of Mrs. Josephine Love, a well-known
teacher in the Denman Grammar School.
Speaking OF the matter yesterday, she
said:
THE engagement of my daughter to
Mr.. Titus has been known to me for sew
eral months. They would have hecn
married long ago but for the fact that Mr..
Titus is a divorced man, and the law. as
you know, stood in the way of their being
married in this State before the expira-
ton of a year from the time of his separa-
ton.
I'VE, that is Mr.. Titus, his father, my
daughter and myself, had arranged for
trip to Reno, where the ceremony could
be performed, but it would seem that the
young couple were too i'm Inpatient and took
the quicker although less pleasant means
OF marrying.
"I regret that they did so, but now that
it is done l am glad to extend to them my
blessing, and am certain that Mr.. Titus
father entertains the same feelings"

on page II of your issue OF August IL, 1897,
headed "Whelan Refuses TO Obey" in which
l find the following:
''The fact that Reddy, Campbell & Nelson in
the Weinstock VS.. McUlatchy libel suit ad-
vanced the doctrine that notary had power
10 punish witnesses for contempt shows that
the firm, having decided both ways, is bound
TO be right in one decision at least, and is
therefore, not uprising.
"ln view OF the opinion which Reddy,
Campbell IL Nelson rendered to the Snerft,
and which is published herewith, it is in ter
esting TO note the decision rendered by the
superior Court of Sacramento County in the
Welnstock McClatchy case. In that suit
this law firm now the adviser of the Sheriff Of
San Francisco was the counsel of record for
the plai tiff, McClatchy. Elaborate argument
was made TO convince the court that the
notary had power to punish Tor contempt, and
the court, hearing the argument and consider
ing the numerous authorities presented, rem
dered this decision:
:" q then must conclude, from the high au-
thorlty given, that notaries have power under
our sta es 10 punish for contempt a witness
VINO refuses to answer question proper 10 be
asked
"The lawyers employed to advise the Sheriff
were not led into ambush. The brief which
Johnson, Linforth & Whitaker handed over 10
Reddy., Campbell d Metson con aimed cita-
tlon OF the Sacramento case, and Mr.. Reddy
knew when he advised the Sheriff that nota-
ries had no power to punish for contempt tn q t
decision TO the contrary had been rendered
In case in which his firm was counsel OF
record and in which a client OF the firm
gained the point ut issue"
Reddy, Campbell e. MetSon were of counsel
In that case. The briefs made in this office
and sent 10 Messrs. Bruner e. Bruner, attor-
neys for defendants, show the exact position
taken by our firm, and no lntima ton or sug-
gestion was ever made in any of these briefs
that the notary had power 10 punish Tor con-
tempt. Reddy, Campbell IL Metson did not
appear before the court on the argument OF
the demurrer, it having been argued by Ell
wood Bruner. What position he may have
taken do not know; but this l do know, that
we have never entertained and never ad-
vanced any such opinion to any one, and 1T is
utterly untrue that Reddy, Campbell d Met
son, or myself, have decided both ways" or
have rendered any opinion on the subject
other than THAT submitted to the Sheriff. 1t
is true that knew of the decision rendered
by Judge Johnson in Sacramento TO-, but with all
the respect entertain for tne learning and
ability OF that gentleman, l differ from him
on the aw in question.
Mr.. Hiram W. Johnson knows that no mem
Der of the firm OF Reddy, Campbell & Metson
appeared or made any oral argument on the
demurrer, and If there were any written ar
guments submitted he knows what they are,
he was one OF the attorneys Cor the plaintiff
Weinstock in the case.
Inasmuch the article referred to places
the firm of Reddy Campba i d. Nelson and
myself in false position before the public
and tends to injure US Professionally and
otherwise hope you will, as matter OF JUS
tice, publish this letter. Yours respectfully,

EVICTED TWO
DOZEN Times
George Zimmerman, an Tx
pressman, Will Not
Pay Rent.
Deputy Sheriffs Know His Fur
niture as Well as Their
Own.
How a Willy and Persistent Mover
Manages to Get Into the Houses
of Others.

George Zimmerman, drayman OF this
City, enjoys the unique distinction Of hav-
ing been evicted from dwellings he has
occupied more than any man the Sheriff s
office has yet had to deal with.
During the past six years he has been
put out of at least two dozen houses for
which he has refused to pay rent and it
has come to such pass that he is on the
blacklist of several real estate offices and
cannot rent a dwelling from them at any
price.
Zimmerman seems to rather Joy be-
ing put out of the houses that he pre-
empts, and smilingly refuses to move or
pay rent when the agent of the house he
happens to be in informs him that he
must take either alternative.
According to the deputies of the Sher-
ifs office, who have evicted him so many
times that they have almost lost count OF
the number the drayman has several
methods of getting into houses before his
identity is discovered. When lis house
hold effects have been carried into the
street by perspiring deputies, he has his
wagons ready and loads them in few
moments Then he starts driving the
which strikes his fancy. Usually the key
is at some corner grocery, and he sends
one of his children in to get it on the
plea that the mother is waiting at the
house to examine ii.
The wagons are waiting at some loca-
ton around the corner and out of sight.
and the key once in his possession, it takes
the drayman but few moments to un-
load his effects and place them where only
legal process can get him out. On few
occasions Zimmerman has called for the
key him self, saying that his wife is pleased
with the outward appearance of the dwell
ing and wants to see the interior. The
result Is almost invariably the same.
Zimmerman gets possession, the rent Is
not forthcoming, and the Sheriff is called
upon to perform his periodical duty.
During Sheriff Laumeister's admins.
tration Zimmerman was evicted eighteen
times, and since Sheriff Whelan took the
reins the deputies have the Zimmerman
belongings so often that they know every
individual piece as well as they do their
own. V
Yesterday the dray man was assisted out
OF the house at 80 East avenue, and some
time ago was compelled 10 vacate tn e
premises at 1916 San Jose avenue. In
December, 1895. ne was evicted from 10
Wool street.
1t is the usual custom to grant those
who are evicted a few days in which to
find new quarters, but Zimmerman has
given so much annoyance in this line that
be is to be elected sum marily in future, as
he was under other administrations.
