SLAYER OF SHERMAN
TO BE TRIED FOR MURDER
Counsel for Harry L. Elliott Will At
tempt to Free Him on Insanity
Plea

SAN JOSE, Nov. 6.-Harry L. Elliott,
who killed j. w. Sherman on October 27.
in North Market street house, was to-
day, at his preliminary examination be-
fore Justice Cobb, held to answer to a
charge of murder. The principal witness
was Mrs. Bessie Sherman, wife of the
murdered man and over whom the shoot
ing occurred. She repeated the same story
she had told at the inquest. Mrs. Sher-
man said she first met her husband in
a dance hall on Larkin street, San Fran
cisco, and six weeks later they were mar
ried. She had known Elliott for five years
him, in which he wrote madly of love and
marriage.
Elliott did not take the stand. His de-
fense will be insanity. He has been act
ing queerly since his confinement in Jail,
is morose and refuses to talk. Some are
inclined to think he is insane, and not
merely shamming. A rich uncle of his in
Cincinnati, O., has employed Attorney
Louis Oneal to defend him.

the electric light works for the purpose
of assisting Frost, who was friend.
Harvey alleges that he gave Sylvia $4,000
to purchase for him the half-interest in
the electric light works owned by Scully
and which was sold by order of court on
May 6. 1901, at the San Rafael Courthouse.
1t was agreed, claims Harvey, that
Sylvia was simply to act as his agent and
that the purchase should be in Harvey's
name and that the title to the property
should be transferred to Harvey. 1t was
for less than $4,000 the balance OF the
money In Sylva's hands should be re-
turned to Harvey The complaint alleges
that sylvia attended the sale of the prop
erty at San Rafael Courthouse, but old
IN the half-interest in the Sausalito Elec-
trio Light Works in the name of Thomas
G. Frost for the sum of $500 25.
Harvey alleges that Sylvia had the half
interest transferred to Thomas G. Frost
and used his influence with the latter TO
induce him to then transfer the property
to Florence Sylvia, his sister. Frost, rely
ing on Sylvia, and having confidence in
him. says the complaint, did as requested,
and the half interest in the electric light
works, purchased with Harvey's money,
was thus transferred from Scully to Frost
and then on to Sylva's sister.
Alleges Fraudulent Conveyance.
Harvey alleges that no consideration
passed for the conveyance from Frost to
Florence Sylvia, and that the latter, who
resides with her brother, simply acted as
cheat and defraud Harvey
Sylvia is then accused of bolstering up
his plans by inducing, Frost to execute
articles of co-partnership with Florence
Sylvia, which articles recite that Frost
and the woman are each the owners of
an undivided one-half of all the properly
formerly owned by the firm of Frost &
Scully. and that Frost and Florence Sylvia
had each contributed to the new co-part-
nership as their contribution to the part
nership assets the undivided one-half in
terest each owned in the SauSalito Elec-
trio Light Works.
Harvey's Eyes Are Opened.
When Harvey finally tried to claim the
property which he had instructed Sylvia to
purchase for him he ran up against
snag. He was confronted by Florence
SYLVIA who informed him that she was
the owner of half the Sausalito Electric
Light Works and that the other half be-
longed to Frost Harvey admitted that
Frost rightly was the owner of half, the
property but claimed the other half. Flor
ence sylvia looked on him with scorn and

told him to 'go way back and sit down.
Harvey, however, consulted his attorney.
When Harvey had talk with Frost ne
was Informed that Sylvia had told Frost
and transfer of half the property were
known to Harvey and that Harvey had
desired the transfer to be made to Flor
ence Sylvia Frost informed Harvey that
as Sylvia was his attorney and he had
faith in him, all Sylva's requests had been
complied with.
When Harvey approached SYLVIA and
asked him many times to return the ball
ance of the $4,000 left over after the pur-
chase of the half interest In the electric
light works Harvey was told that the ball
ance had been used to satisfy a mortgage
on the property. Harvey says that when
he asked Sylvia for his tIIle to the prop
erty he was told that the transaction had
not been completed on account of the
mortgage.
Recently Discovers the "Job."
Harvey says that as Sylvia was his at
torney and agent and that he had every
confidence in him he accepted Sylva's
.'jebbed''
perior Court. of Marin County to grant
him an injunction to prevent Adolph Syl-
va, Florence Sylvia, Thomas G. Frost and
Lisette Frost, as individuals, and Frost
transferring, assigning. selling or dispOs-
ing of any part of the half interest in the
SaUSalitO Electric Light Works, pur-
chased by Sylvia with Harvey'S money
and transferred to Florence Sylvia in a
fraudulent manner.
Harvey also asks that receiver be ap-
pointed to- take charge of the lighting
works to prevent any division Of the prof
its of the business and also asks that he
be declared the owner of the half interest
IN the property described in his complaint.
He further prayS that the cO-DartnerShip
between Frost and Florence Sylvia be de-
clared null and void and that the defend
ants, with the exception of Frost, be pro-
hibited from interfering with or handling
the property in question.
A second complaint was also filed by
Harvey to recover the sum of S499 T5
which, he claims, is the balance of cash
belonging to him out of the $4,000 he hand
ed to Sylvia to purchase the half interest
for Harvey in the electric light works.
The second complaint asks for an at
tachment against the property held in the
name of Florence Sylvia. but which prop
erty is alleged to be owned by Adolph
