The Maiden Desires to Get Married,

Martha Freudenberg, handsome bru-
nette who has just reached her majority,
wants to marry Fred Hovey. a dealer in
teas and coffee; but her mother, Mrs. An.
ME Freudenberg of 722 Valencia street,
bitterly opposes the marriage and refuses
TO give up her daughters clothing and
personal effects. Martha reached the
legal age four days ago and left her
mothers house. taking UP her tempor-
airy residence in the Fulton House on
Larkin street.
Thursday she applied to Judge Graham
for a search warrant TO obtain possession
of her effects. but the Judge thought it
would be better first to write her mother
a letter TO see if an arnicable arrange
ment could not be reached. The letter
was written and Martha delivered it to
her mother. 1t had no effect upon the
stern parent, who brusQuely informed
Martha that she would fight it out. Yes.
terday Martha notified the Judge of the
failure of his good intentions and the
search warrant was issued. Up to last
evening the effects had not been recov-
cred, but Mrs. Freudenberg will have to
submit to the law and give her reasons
in court as to her refusal to hand over
her daughters personal property.
The difficulties of the situation are that
the wedding cannot take place till the
wardrobe is delivered. as Martha has only

A WIFE's SUICIDE.
Mrs Lottie Morrison While Tempo
rarily Insane Swallows Car
holic Acid.

Mrs. Lottie Morrison. the young wife
of John T. Morrison, committed suicide
early yesterday morning at her residence,
1922 Broderick street, by swallowing
part of the contents of a bottle of car
bolic acid.
Mrs. Morrison was living at the resi-
dence with her mother and brother, and
had been nervous and hysterical for sew
eral months. 1t was said by her relatives
that she had been acting queerly at times
owing to an injury TO her head received
in childhood.
Eight months ago her mother fell and
broke her leg, and is now on erutches
owing to the accident. The deceased
labored under the delusion that she her
self had been the cause of the accident to
her mother, and had been grievtng and
brooding over the matter ever since. Last
Tuesday she bought the bottle of acid
Schmidt, corner of Baker and McAllisteI
streets She told no one of her intention
and when she arose yesterday morning
to perform her usual household duties
there was nothing in her manner to at
tract attention or suspicion TO her.
She went into her room for a few min
utes and when one of the inmates went
to call her she was in convulsions. DR.
c. c. Mohun was summoned, but the
poison had been at work too long and
She expired in about an hour after she
had swallowed the fatal potion.
The husband of the dead woman was
at Los Angeles on business for the Pa
cific Pump and Windmill Company and
a telegraphic message was sent TO him

had killed him.

Witness of the day for the accused woman,
Tor ne testified positively and emphatically,

ated a very Favorable impression on the
minds OF the jurors, that his daughter had
not been out of the house a all last Sum
day evening. He swore that he retired
at 1880 o clock that night, and that she
nad not left the house up to that time.
In this he was corroborated by the broth
ers of the accused. Every person who tes-
titled at the inquest who professed to
know anything about the family agreed
that Mrs Adams was an unusually fond
mother, and that the dead baby was her
favorite child. Even the vengeful Mr..
Gray could not remember any instance
of her showing any indication of a desire
to be cruel to her offspring, and admitted
that she loved their boy dearly and al
ways took good care of it.
During the examination of Mr.. Tyrrell
he was asked how much Gray contributed
to the support of the baby. He said Gray
