BORN BEFORE
THE CENTURY
Passing of Mrs. Foster
at Salinas.
LIVED TO A GREAT AGE
HAD SEEN A HUNDRED AND
NINE YEARS.
Came to California in 1S4S After an
Adventurous Life Spent With
Her Husband at
Sea.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SALINAS, Feb. 3.-Mrs. Maria Fos-
fer, aged 100 years, died at the County
Hospital tonight. Death was due to
old age.
Mrs. Foster declared she was born in
Scotland November 29, 1889, but her
actual age might have been over 100
years, as she said she was told by her
mother that when babe in arms they
all were brought on a troop ship to
Nova Scotia to join the father. and
was soldier in the British army and
fighting the colonists.
Before her marriage to a ship cap
tain, John Foster, she was known as
Maria Hewston. For many years prior
to her meeting with her husband she
was maid TO different noble ladies, and
in her later years when the subject was
mentioned Mrs. Foster reyiled that
class as being immoral and frivolous.
as well as purse proud and overbear-
ing
During her married life, period of
over forty years, she visited nearly
every section # the world and she re-
lated with great gle how her 'old
hubby, when off the Sulu Islands, beat
off some Malay pirates, who had at
tackled them, by using hot water and
slush."
Mrs. Foster came in 1916 to Califor-
MIA, landing at old Monterey, and for
many years lived near that town. In
1870, while going over the hills TO the
San Juan Mission, after a residence at
San Juan since 1854, Mr.. Foster died
and then her troubles began, finally
ending in the poorhouse. Mrs. Foster
has been for eight years an inmate and
for the past three years had been bed
ridden, she having fallen and broken
her knee caps, which never reunited.
She was partially deaf and nearly to-
tally blind, though she recognized all
who came in contact with her by their
voice. Her hair, snow white, and very
long, gave a witchlike appearance to
her shriveled and mummif1ed features.
She was hearty eater, drank several
glasses of brandy each day and smoked
the strongest tobacco in a foul clay
pipe continuously.

until after the killing. Cook told him
he had the job secured before he left
San Francisco.
Quit a stir of excitement was created
when Bell began the cross-examination
of the witness.
Have you been offered any money
for your testimony in this case?" was
his first startling question.
/ was told ny party, SAID the wit
ness, that if would give my testi-
mony 1 could make wages by it.
said l would not be bribed, but would
tell what knew. He said: If you tell
me what passed between you and that
party you will be well paid for it
There were two such conversations.
One st night and the other last Satur-
day.
Who was the party?"
Mr.. Beerstecher.'
What was said about your testi-
mony last night and about the money
you were to get?"
The matter was brought up in this
shape He said: You will get your
expenses well paid if you will tell what
you know about it l told him I would
not tell him what 1 knew He then
said l would be paid and paid we'll
said l could not be bribed, and he said
he was not trying to bride me, but that
he only wanted me to tell the truth.
He did not try to bride Inc. He only
wanted me to tell the truth"
There was a brief cross-examination
by Beerstecher, without eliciting any,
thing new, and H. NJ. Barstow, one of
the attorneys for the defense. was call
ed to the stand. He testified that Nc
kenzie met him at the train at Napa
on the evening of December 80. 1898,
the time Cook arrived, and that witness
and Mckenzie had a conversation at
the depot
This closed the taking of testimony
and both sides agreed to submit the
matter without argument. Justice
wright gave his decision as follows:
1 wish to say that in going over the
testimony in this case, as brought from
the witnesses, / find that the evidence in
the case is such that 1 am compelled to
commit the defendant TO answer before
the Superior Court of this county. The
evidence in my mind has been such as TO
be in favor of the prosecution, and that
in rebuttal has not been sufficient TO en-
of this court that the defendant be com
mltted to answer before the Superior
Court of this county.
Attorney Beerstecher inquired of the
court as to the matter of bail Dis
trict Attorney Bell strenuously OBJ
jected to bail being allowed, but after
argument by Attorney Hilman the Jus
tice decided in favor of the defense as
follows:
The evidence of the case in my mind is
circumstantial, and the presumption of
guilt is not so great as TO prevent NE
admitting the defendant to bail. l have
no doubt l would be justified in admitting
him to bail Bail is fixed in the sum Of
$50 600.
Soon after adjournment of the court
the necessary bond was filed and Nc
henzie was thus saved from going
back to a prison cell.

NAPA, Feb 3.-George S. Mckenzie,
ex-Sheriff of Napa County, was to-day
held by Justice Wright TO answer to a
charge of murder, for alleged COM
plicity in the murder of Alfred Cook,
who was killed on January 5, 1899, by
Jesse Walters. Bail was fixed at S20,-
600, a reduction of $4,000 from the
amount of bail originally fixed. This
is viewed by the defense as a decided
victory, owing TO the language of the
committing magistrate when fixing the
bail.
On the resumption this morning of
the proceedings in the premilinary ex-
animation of Mckenzie Judge Wright
announced his decision that the testi-
mony of Mckenzie given before the
COroner's jury was admissible.
John A. Peterson, the janitor Of the
Courthouse, testified that one day in
December, 1898, Mckenzie asked him
If he knew the location of Walkers
Landing, where Cook was then sup
posed to be, under the alias of Dorman.
George Secord testified TO the finding
of q blood-stained 44-caliber bullet in
the stable of Mckenzie, and the prose
cution rested its case.
Ben Swanton, Richard Ivers and Tom
Cuff testified for the defense that they
had not said to Paul Hanson that the
real name of Al Dorman was Al Cook.
Herman Nussberger, who was en-
ployed with Walters at Oakville in jan
uary, 1896, testified he knew Cook at
that time. Witness is employed in a
saloon in Napa. Cook went into the
saloon on December 80 and said he in
tended to work for Mckenzie and that
he was going under the name Of Dor
man. Deceased told witness that he
didn't want his real name known.
Frank Roberts, employed in a local
soda water factory. knew Cook at Oak
vile about two years ago. He saw
COOK in Nussberger's saloon on the
evening of December 80 1898. Cook
pledged Wit@eSs to remain silent as
to his Cooks presence in Napa, and
said he had assumed the name of Dor
man, and that Re was going TO work for
Mckenzie on the first of the year.
With sss had never spoken to Mckenzie
about - matter.
E. H. Cowart, who formerly resided
at Oakville. removed to Napa in De-
cember, 1898 He knew Cook at Oak
vile. Witness last saw Cook on Tues
day evening, January 3, at McKenzies
stable. He also saw him on the Satur-
day preceding, and had a talk with de-
ceased. The latter informed him he
had assumed the name of Dorman and
was engaged to work for Mckenzie.
In a conversation with Cook the latter
was told that he was in danger of be-
ing recognized. To this Cook replied:
We'll. have fooled that blockheaded
Sheriff, anyway"
Cowart never had any conversation
with Mckenzie as TO Dorman's identity

WOULD ESCAPE DISCIPLINE.
Priest Tuhoy May Have Recourse to
the Civil Courts.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 3.-Father John Tu-
hoy, against whom papal decree has
been rendered that he must vacate the
parochial residence and retire to 2
monastery for ten days, will take his
case into the civil courts, if, in his opin-
ion, the discipline to be administered
by Archbishop KANE, in accordance
with the papal decree, proves to be too
severe, said his attorneys, Groves and
McClelland, to-day. They declared that
regardless of the decision of Rome,
Father Tuhoy's position was quite ten
able. The appeal is now pending in the
Court of Appeals of this city, and the
case has not been dismissed No action
will be taken until Father Tuhoy knows
the final attitude of the Archbishop of
the see.
