when she said she was. and now that
she is successful, she will not be COM
PEELED to pay the debts contracted when
she was only rising actress"
Mrs. Carter. however, is making a
fairly good salary, and it isn't probable
she will have to go into bankruptcy
again. She could lay off for a day or
two on her income, and she wouldn't
have to work an extra long season to
keep from missing her loss.

1t was no Southern belle this time
1t was II. r. O'Malley. one time leading
man to Mr.. Clement, who got the
dough. He didn't do it with a sunny
Virginian smile, either, but with a war
rant for Clements arrest upon a.
charge of intent to- leave the state with
intent to defraud a creditor.
On the warrant Clements euphon-
ious patronymic gave way to the more
cultural Geiger. 1t further appears
that Clement contracted with the COM
plainant. O'Malley. to take charge of
his child by first marriage, at SIS
per month and an additional dab of
$50 year as a clothing allowance.
Clement had not made payment for so
long that there was $245 stacked up
against him, but Notwithstanding he
recently telegraphed to New York city
to have his child taken out of O'Mal-
leys possession. O'Malley demurred,
and upon learning that Clements was
to leave yesterday afternoon for Homo
lulu telegraphed an order for his arrest
pending the payment of his account
Deputy Sheriff Ernest Brandt served
the warrant and had to drag his man
from the downtown Sacramento train
to do it. He took him up to the Broad
way Jail. where he was lodged until
such time as J. J. Rauer could appear
and guarantee his board for a week in
advance at a dollar per.
Clement stoutly insisted he would not
pay the claim against him, but the re-
ceipt for the weeks board and the pos
sibility Of missing the Honolulu boat
We're too many for him and he finally
consented to accompany Rauer and the
deputy to Justice Cooks court. where,
after assurances of distinguished con-
sideration and one thing and another of
that sort he gave up the two forty-five
and was turned loose to catch his
boat.
Julia Morrison. the actress who shot
and killed her leading man. Frank Lei
| den at Chattanooga. and prevented
Mr.. Plaster of Paris from keeping his
| Butte dates. has been released on a
$4,000 bail bond pending her trial for
murder. 1t appears that the evidence
submitted at the preliminary trial puts
the woman's case in a more favorable
| light. An employe of the opera house
where the shooting occurred on the
stage before large audience, testified
that twice during the day he had heard
Leiden call Miss Morrison the vilesI
names; that he had kicked her dowr
| the stairs. struck her and had attempt.
ed to use still greater violence when he
was prevented by the witness.
| Another witness testified that as soor
as Miss Morrison appeared at the head
of the stairs Leiden raised a heavy
cane as if to strike her. Miss Morrison
! then fired the mortal shot.
| The prosecution insisted that the cast
| should be postponed until January be
cause the members of the company who
witnessed the shooting have fled from
| the state and refuse to return. The
states attorney announced, however
that they had written to him saying
| they would furnish the amount of bal
required.
Miss Morrison's physician testified
| that she was exceedingly nervous anG
that further Imprisonment would result
seriously. The actress told the judge
she had not yet made her story public
1T will not be heard" she said, unit
l am placed on trial. Then everyone
will learn that my heart and feelings
were trampled upon; that I had beer
abused, cursed and reviled, simply be.
cause I would not descend to the leve
to which Leiden sought to drag me
When. after all this, he attempted t.
strike me with a cane and use vile cpl.

all"
I heard a funny story about james
ONeill the other day, and incidentally
about Tim" for many years head por'
ter of the Continental hotel in Phila
delphia, writes "A Woman of the

ONeill desired to show his appreciation
