Leave Of Officials
and Prison.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

LILO IoIO1uWdy, DSC. -.
Dudley c. Dubose, who was successful
in invoking the law OF credits so that
his six months term in the County Jail
was reduced by thirty days, bade farewell
to jail life at II o'clock this morning. BY
that time the promised letter from United
States District Attorney Marshall B.
Woodwork authorizing the Nome attor-
neys release had arrived and it was but
few minutes afterward when Dubose
was walking the streets once more a free
man. The communication that gave him
liberty contained the following message:
Oscar L. Rodgers Sheriff. Alameda County
Dear Sir: 1 have been advised officially by
the Honorable Attorney General that he con-
siders persons imprisoned in the County Jail
in contempt of court entitled to credits al
lowed by the communication law Respectfully
MARSHALL B. WOODWORTH.
United States District Attorney. =
Duboses leave taking was quite in
formal His trunks and the comforts with
which he surrounded himself while pris-
oner he ordered expressed to the Palace
Hotel in San Francisco, where he proposes
to remain for two or three weeks.
When he has concluded certain business
transactions in San Francisco he will re-
turn to his old home in Helena, Montana
to remain until the weather moderates so
that he can return to Nome to resume his
law practice. He calls Helena his home
because he lived there many years though
he is unmarried and all his relatives live

CLAIM CARMEN
STRANDED THEM
Passengers Bring Suits
to Enforce Transfer
Privilege.
Say They Were Left in the
Suburbs to Face Mud
and Storm.

Ills Broadway, Dec. II.
To enforce the right of street car pas
sengers to be carried to the destination
for which transfer coupon might be is
sued is the purpose of two suits which
were filed to-day in Justice Quinn's court
by Attorney George Edgar Jackson, who
represents Henry Spencer, the famous
jockey who rode for the Prince of Wales
and Al w. White. a former Deputy Sher-
iff of this county and we'll known man
about town.
The suits are lodged against the Oak
land Transit Company and the complaint
is based upon the alleged refusal of a
car crew to carry White and Spencer from
Golden Gate to West Berkeley one stormy
night last December. The complainanrs
declare that they were given the alterna-
tive of plowing their way two miles
through mud and rain or of stopping at
a hotel in Golden Gate at their own ex-
pense The carmen, say White and Spen-
Ger, refused to recognize their right TO
ride the remainder of the way, although
they had transfers from the San Pablo
avenue electric line. The reason assigned
by the conductor was that he had made
his last trip for the night.
But, eXpostulated White, transfers
were issued to us, and here they are. We
want to go to West Berkeley
Cant help it, was the reply This
car is going to turn in for the night
Guess We are stranded commented
Spencer.
And they were, for the car did turn in
The formal recital of the complaints is
that White and Spencer boarded a San
Pablo avenue car at Twelfth street and
Broadway at II p. M. December IS, 1900
They reached Golden Gate twenty min
utes later, where transfers to the West
Berkeley extension were issued. After
waiting twenty minutes the car from
West Berkeley rolled into the terminus.
Instead Of making another trip out, it
continued downtown, after the two belated
passengers had their unfruitful colloquy
with the carmen.
Spencer and White ask judgment for
5000 damages

rooms. To-day nothing was seen of them,
and though the rooms remained locked
and no response could be secured to re-
peated calls suspicion was not aroused
until tonight. Finally the doors to the
rooms were forced and the occupants
were discovered lying on the beds, dead.
The keyholes and cracks around the doors
had been closed with rags and the fumes
of chloroform filled the rooms. disclosing
the cause of death. 1t was evident that

motive is not known.
