ENDED THEIR OWN LIVES.

Coroner Hawkins Kept Busy Holding e
Inquests in Suicide Gases.
Coroner Hawkins held several inquests
Yesterday, most of which were cases where
the subjects had taken upon themselves
the responsibility of ending their own
lives.
Mary Thiery of 1928 Howard street ended
her life on the oath inst. by the use of a
revolver. A verdict of suicide was re-
turned.
A verdict of suicide was given In the
case OF II. H. Griesbach, who lived at the
Cosmopolitan Hotel on Fifth street. De-
ceased was native of Germany, so years
of age and a solicitor by occupation. On
January % he was found on Stanford
Heights, near the Corbett road, with q
bullet hole in his head. His revolver ly-
ing near at hand told the tale.
On January % Richard Binder, native
of Germany, A years of age, living at 221
Lexington avenue, went to 624 California
street and turned on the gas. Suicide
was the judgment of the Jury.
The evidence in the cases OF William l..
Blake and William ]. Buckley, the paint
ers who were killed by falling from a
building on Stevenson street near Third,
caused the jury to believe that their
deaths were accidental and due to their
own carelessness. Blake lived at 19A Har-
rison avenue and Buckley at 1907 Broad
way, Oakland. Both had families.
On the 26th inst. the body of Abigail E.
Perrine of 1912 West street, Oakland, was
recovered from the foot of Clay street.
San Francisco. A verdict of suicide
caused by dependency was rendered.
Suicide was the verdict given in the case
OF Robert s. Harris, the student who blew
his brains out with revolver on the 22d
inst. He lived at 324 o. Farrell street.

MURDOCH'S AL|M0NY
Objects to Paying Half His Sal
ary to His Divorced
Wife.
Says Her Conduct Ought 10 Re We
Him From This Extra Finan.
cial Burden.

The old divorce case of Mamie Murdoch
against William c. Murdoch came up in q
vexatious form in Judge Slack's court
yesterday. 1t was an application by Muir
doch for custody of the minor son OF the
parties to the action, and for relief from
the order of court which compels him to
pay SIPS month alimony.
In order to establish the justice of his
application Mr.. Murdoch offered to prove
that Mrs. Murdoch is not proper person
to have the custody of the child, and that
her life is of such q character as would
entitle him to be relieved from the obliga-
tion to pay her alimony. This presents q
case never before considered by court in
| California.
Mr.. and Mrs. Murdoch were married in
Suffer County, this State, in 1881, and
soon afterward removed to this City,
where they still live. He is mployed by
prominent financial Institution at q
salary of $500 month. The divorce was
granted to Mrs. Murdoch in this City on
the 25th of February, 1895, On the ground
of cruelty, since which time ne has been
paying more than half his salary to her.
Attorneys James Alva Watt and w. C.
Cross, representing Mrs. Murdoch, inter-
posed legal objection to the application
for the stoppage of the alimony. They
denied that their client had been guilty OF
any improper acts, yet they contended
that even If this allegation were true it
would not be a good reason for discon-
tinuance of the alimony payments.
In support of this position the gentle
men cited the case of Forrest againt For
rest. Mrs. Forrest secured divorce from
the eminent actor for some delinquency,
and was accorded an order for alimony.
Subsequently Forrest appeared and Of
fered TO prove that Mrs. Forrest had not
u cen living according to society's rules.
The highest courts TO which this case
could be taken decided that this was not
sufficient cause for relieving Forrest from
paying alimony.
Chickering, Thomas & Gregory, appearing
for Mr.. Murdoch, argued that the facts
ana the law in this case are not identical
with the circumstances covered by the
New YORK case, and insisted that their
client ought to be relieved from his bur-
den.
Judge Slack promised to give decision
on Monday. If the decision goes against
Mrs. Murdoch sshe will make contest on
the alleged facts of the case

The bark Colusa was taken from the

St. Andrews Society Mem
bers Indorse the Monu-
ment Plan.
An Enthusiastic Gathering in
Honor of Scotland's Noble
Poet.
His Memory Lives Again in Prose
and Music on His Birthday
Anniversary.

The one hundred and thirty eighth
anniversary OF the birth Of Robert
Burns was celebrated last evening by
the members of the St. Andrews So
ciety and their friends with literary and
musical exercises as we'll as dance.
In his Introductory address President
Andrew Wilkie spoke of the cosmopolitan
nature of the assemblage. and he hailed
this fact with delight that while the
Scotchmen were not less in number in the
society's gatherings, STILL the attendance
was not distinctively Scotch.
In alluding to the proposed monument
to Robert Burns for Golden Gate Park,
President Wilkie outlined the attitude of
the st. Andrews Society.
'It is purely a benevolent society" he
said, land funds cannot be diverted for
any other purpose.
Individually. dare say that we are all
in accord with the worthy object. As q
matter of fact, most of the prominent
mem bers of our society are also mem mbers
of the CaIedonian Club, which orgaDiza-
tion is assisting the good cause along. 1t
can therefore be understood that If we are
not in the movement as body we GER
tainly are in it heart and soul as individ-
uals."
Robert B. Scott delivered an address on
Robert Burns, excerpts of which were as
follows: 1T is now 138 years ago since
the wife of a Scottish peasant was made
happy by the birth of her first born, with
clouds of glory, of inspiration and of po-
etry circling his head, and VINO was des-
tined thereafter to be known to his coun-
try and to the whole world as Robert
Burns, one of the few immortal names
that was not born to die.
Shortly before Burns death he said to
his wife: Pll be more respected 100 years
after my death than L am to-day. Burns
prophecy has been realized more than he
himself or his warmest admirers ever an
ticipated. His fame has gone beyond his
own country and become universal. His
songs are quoted from the pulpit and the
forum.
Monuments of enduring granite and
bronze have been erected to his memory
in his own land, in England and in Amer
lea, Australia and New Zealand and it
should not be long before monument is
raised in Golden Gate Park to the plow-
man poet, one that will be fitting trib-
ute to his memory and all embelli- -hment
and honor to the great city by the sea.
BURNS. with his noble and independent
spirit, was truly one of earths chosen
heroes. who stood alone for humanity and
for righteousness. AS he said himself he
was no saint and he had whole lot OF
| foibles and sins to answer for. But if
could he said, and l believe do as far
as l can, l would wipe all tears from all
eyes.

that he was no saint, though he was one

William Rob1es Sentenced to the State

Judge Wallace yesterday sentenced
William Robes 10 fourteen years impris-
onment in the State Prison at San Quen-
tin for perjury.
Robes swore falsely that he was gully
of robbery in order to save Aggie Abbott
from conviction. His chivalry was of no
avail, as the woman was convicted and
preceded him to San Quentin.
Patrick Kelly, convicted of burglary,
was sentenced to the State Prison for ten

were present to guard against any attempt
at escape.
