LIBERTY IS
GRANTED TO
A MURDERESS
Mrs. Anna Mentel Is
Admitted to Bail.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,



Mrs. Anna Mentel was granted her lib
erty to-day on condition of putting up
bonds to the amount of $4,000. Her IA
Their will probably appear before Judge
Hall tomorrow with the bondsmen and
the young murderess will walk out of the
County Jail.
Attorney W. W. Foote appeared before
Judge Hall this morning and made an ar
gument, in which he stated that from the
evidence in the case he was convinced
that Mrs. Mentel could not be convicted
Of murder in the first degree and he
therefore formally made a motion that
she be admitted to bail in any reasonable
sum which the court saw fit to decide
upon. Attorney Foote recited some of the
evidence in the case, stating that the de-
PENDANT had voluntarily given herself up
to justice Immediately after the shooting
and also referring to the fact that the
physician who examined her at the hos
pital had testified that there were bruises
upon her arm and body which must have
been produced by a struggle.
Mrs. Mentels attorney called the court s
attention to the agreement with ex-Dis-
trict Attorney Shook, who prosecuted the
case at the preliminary examination, by
which the prosecution admitted that a
conviction of murder in the first degree
was not possible.
Mr.. Foote took a side slap at Justice
Norris of Alameda, who is not possessed
of a certificate to practice law, but grad
uated to the bench from Constable s
office. Without wishing to cast any re-
Election on his Honor Justice Morris of
Alameda said Mr.. Foote, Il do not think
it is exercising very good Judgment for a
country Justice to hold the defendant
without bail when advised by the Dis
trict Attorney that bail was permissi-
BILE"
District Attorney Allen did not deny
that his predecessor had agreed that the
case was one in which bail might be &C
cepted, but he said that later develop
ments in the case rendered 1t highly
probable that a jury would bring in a
verdict in the highest degree.
He referred to the fact that Mentel had
been found lying with one hand in his
pocket and resting upon bundle, which
went to show that he had been carrying
the bundle IN the other arm and had made
no struggle.
Judge Hall said he had looked into the
evidence and was satisfied that he could
properly grant bail, which would be fixed
at 500 900.
Mrs. Mentel, when arraigned on the
charge of murder, was very self-possessed
and in a very firm voice answered Not
guilty"
At the request of Mr. Foote, who said
that his associate counsel, Senator Earl
was busy in Sacramento, a continuance
of one week was granted.
