oxLEY ARRAIGNED.
Two Colored Women Are Held as
Witnesses

Bridgeport, Conn, Sept. 27.-The chief
event today in the Yellow Mill pond
tragedy was the arraignment of Harry
Oxley, now known officially as Albert
II. Oxley, in the city court, ,on the
charge Of manslaughter At the re-
quest of Prosecuting Attorney Bartlett,
the case was continued until Saturday
without any testimony being taken
and bonds were fixed at $4,000.
The two colored women, Mrs. Rose
Drayton and her daughter, Clarabel.
who had been employed i'm the Guilford
household. were taken to the police
headquarters this morning and were
on the rack for nearly four hours.
The officials maintain that nothing
could be CLEANED from the women,
however. During the examination Mrs
Drayton was confronted with the saw
found in her house, and which was be-
lieved to have been used in dismem-
bering the body, and soon after it was
brought into the office, ii was neces-
sary to send in "a glass of water to
one of the colored women that had
tainted, but which one it would not be
told.
An effort was also made to get Oxley
to talk, but he replied that on advice
of counsel he had nothing to say.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATORS TO CAUCUS
Seek to Obtain Concerted Action on
Questions Affecting Their
niStrirt

LOS ANGELES, Nov. ia caucus of
members of the Legislature elected in the
six counties of Southern California is to
be held shortly in this city for the pur-
pose ostensibly, of agreeing upon some
plan whereby concerted action may be
obtained at the next session on all-meaS-
ures affecting Southern California. San
Diego County has a normal school and
Los Angeles has a similar institution.
San Bernardino County has Highland
ASYLUM and Los Angeles County has
Whittier State School. The idea is to OBJ
tain as much consideration at the hands
of the Legislature for these institutions
as possible.
L. H Valentine, who has been re-elect-
ed from the Seventy-fourth Assembly
District by an increased plurality, is an
avowed candidate for speaker of that
body His friends will make an effort to
boom his candidacy for the speakership
when the caucus is convened.
There probably will be some little clash
of Senatorial interests. Seven Republican
members elected from Los Angeles Coun-
ty are instructed for Bulla. Y. S. Grant
ty. When the caucus shall have been
convened there probably will be an eff
fort made by these two Senatorial candi-
dates and their friends to bring into their
respective folds such Assemblymen and
Senators as may be willing to pledge
themselves for a few ballots on the Sen
atorship. The caucus will be held in the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce In

omen at the exposition building to-mor-
row. This evening there was trade and
labor parade on the streets participated
in by local manufacturers, merchants
and producers, and also by some of the

for chief OF staff The following promi-
nent citizens were the aids: William B.

the floats of Oakland merchants. Many
firms and breweries sent a dozen deco
grated wagons, and, with red fire, fire
works and music, the streets presented a
lively appearance for over an hour.
One of the features of the parade was
the Oakland Typographical Union, the
men of which marched as an escort 10

If ever the fondest affection, nursed in
the fields of dalliance, existed between j.
B. Atwood Of Sacramento and Bernice
BisseIl, alias Alice Brannan, things have
nightly changed since then, judging from
the revelations of a queer category of
charges preferred by the former against
the latter in suit commenced to-day in

From careful reading of the complaint
filed by Attorneys Pipher & Holl of the

appear that the latter is the proprietor of
a store the portals of which are graced
gestive of an intimation at least, that At

trinkets upon his fair housekeeper.
The complaint alleges that until a month
ago the cruel Bernice was employed as

siding in this city. He brings no crimi-

and 500 damages.
