drew a revolver and shot the woman in the
right side of the neck, the ball striking the
spinal column. He then placed the pistol
to the right side of his own head and fired.
The bullet split, one portion passing
through the skull and lodging in the left
side Of the brain, the other piece of lead
striking the ceiling of the room. The wo-
man died several days after the affair.
1t was at first thought that Timm would
die. too. but he appeared to become strong

The piece of lead in his brain caused a

the woman consented to accept the hos

Attorney Davis compelled the witness to
admit that after the Setter woman had
went in the Jail she could not have left 1t
without the permission Of himself or his
brother officer, Flammer.
The robbery occurred on August 9Th, and
the detectives suspected the girl from the
hrst, but they did not take her into Gus
tody until September 1st, or rather issue
to her a formal personal invitation to ac-
cept the hospitality of the matron as the
detectives no doubt prefer to have Ia
termed. If the twenty-eight days from
August 9TH to September 1st. when she wa
asked to the city Jail, were not sufficient

AS SLOW AS SNAlLS
DETECTIVES HAD A WOMAN IN
JAIL FOUR DAYS
ANNA SETTER, THE VOLUNTEER
Detectives Had Twenty Eight Days to
Decide What to Do With Her,
But Required More Time

According to the tale told yesterday by
the police detectives, Annie Seller, charged
with stealing $500 from Mrs. /. Kennedy or
1914 Orange street, came willingly to the
police station, and just as willingly con-
serted to being detained in the care OF
Police Matron Gray until the sleuths could
determine whether or not they would file
any complaint against her. After taking
all the time necessary, from September to
September 5, complaint was finally filed
against her. 1t was also claimed that the
woman was not really in custody, but had
merely been given accommodation in the
jail, as she had no other place to go. such
a contention Of voluntary Imprisonment Is
Numerically opposed to the probable ac-
items of a person in their sober senses, as is
the police small book" to the rights of
citizens.
Miss Setter was In Justice Morrison's
court, attended by her attorneys, Messrs
Davis and Rush. while District Attorney
Chambers acted for the prosecution
Mrs. Isaac Kennedy was the first witness
She said that she had employed the Setter
woman for several months previous to the
robbery which occurred August 9Th. On
that day Mrs. Kennedy had $500 in $40 gold
pieces in a sack hanging in closet, and
there was also a satchel containing about
$40 In silver in the same place. She took
Anna in the buggy to do some shopping,
and finally sent the woman home to prepare
supper while she went to the store of Mr..
Kennedy and returned home with him.
When they reached their residence they
were met by the defendant on the back
porch, who said she thought the place had
been robbed, because she had seen some
pocket books on the bed, and the bureau
drawer was also open. An investigation
showed that nothing In the room had been
disturbed, but the sack containing the gold
was missing. Mrs. Kennedy did mot notice
anything unusual in the girls actions be-
yond that she talked in an unnatural man.
ner. Mrs. Kennedy also said that when she
and Anna went up town, the house had
been locked and the key placed on the
buttery, but Anna had said 1t was In a diff
ferent place when she returned. The po-
lice were notified, and several officers
called at different times. They suspected
the Setter woman from the start, and so in
formed the Kennedys. Mr.. Kennedy cor
roborated his wife's testimony In so far as
related to the disappearance of the money
from the closet.
Acting Detective Ross Phillips took the
stand and told about having visited the
Setter woman, in company with Detective
Paul Flammer. They asked her to come
to the police station, as the officers would
like to talk with her regarding the rob-
berry, and she consented and voluntarily
went. In reply to a question as to how
she had secured the money with which she
had gone to Catalina and purchased clothes,
