Charles Davis, accused of an at- tempt to murder James McCloskey Fri day night. waived examination yester- day and was remanded to jail by Jus tice Burnett, till Thurs5ay morning at o'clock, pending change for bette. or worse in McClosEsy's condition. Al that time definite action will be taken regarding the fixing of his bond Tor appearance before the grand jury.
 The case was called in the forenoon, Judge A. c. Baker appearing for the defendant The principal witness for the territory, MT. McCloskey. was put upon the stand and stated positively that Davis was the man who assaulted him. He said that he saw him ftrik9 at him with the hammer, but. of course, after the first blow he knew nothing. He said Davis after the first visit to his room was gone about five minutes before he returned with the hammer. He said. however, that he ha sup posed the name of his assailant was Richard Parker for the reason that during Davis first visit early in the evening he had shown him railroad pass to California bearing ParNefs 5 name. lIe said he had kEown Davis for some little time and thought he was nice col0red boy. He knew he lived in the nsighborhood, but had never inquired his name. McCleskey has a little clothes cleaning shop in his room ami at one time cleaned som" clothes for Davis.
 Richard Parker testified that he had given the pass ts Davis, thus pretty thoroughly establishing the identity or McCloskey's assailant.
 The defense then asked for conf n uance of the case till o'clock in uhc afternoon. At that hour court was I" convened and the ,fense not wishing to continue the examination, Davis wal remanded.
 McClcrkey Is a pretty sick man, hu' was able to get down to court, and , is believed that his recovery will i'S uninterrupted by complications, bu' the defense preferred to walt few days for the fixing of the bond rath" than to accept a bond high enough 70 cover any possible change for th' 1 worse in the condition of the injured man and which might thertforc b' oppressive.
 The case suggests how easily cir cumstantial evidence may somctim's rest against an innocent man. Iial

When he saw the pedestrian was making no move to get out of the way he should have stopped and ascer- tained the reason Mir Boyle perhaps had no business to be standing where he was, but that was no justification for the driver. Had the driver stopped then, perhaps an apology would have been due from the pedestrian, but as he did not the driver is fortunate that he hasn't a suit for damages on his hands. A driver has no right to nnangle a private citizen because the latter fails to give him the right or way.

Former Arizonian Commits Suicide at
 Ell Paso.

Dependency, due to the loss of his savings in an unfortunate business venture. is believed to have been the chief reason why F.. w. Aldersontook E,s own life at his residence, S0S Magof- fin avenue, at 4:30 o'clock yesterday, says the Fl Paso Herald.
 Alderson was 42 years of age. He came to this city nearly a year ago from Arizona, and had recently been in the employ of the Candelarla Mining company of Juarez. Some months ago he invested his savings, about $500, in the Senate saloon, supposing he was purchasing a half interest. The own CTS, at is said, took possession, and AL derson lost the money he had invested For several days past he had been drinking heavily. but arose yesterday morning and said he was gong to work. Instead of going, however he rema,nei at home during the day, and seemed to be in a melancholy frame of mind,
 A few minutes after 4 o'clock he went into the bath room. No one had suspicion that anything was wrong until mufiled report was heard, The the room with jagged hole in his tenn next moment Alderson staggered into the room with the blood streaming frC m a jagged hole in the temple He fell backward without speaking a word.
 Naturally the members of the family Were mortified and overcome by the spectacle. They laid the wounded man on the bed and hastily sunni ned Drs. Bush, Irwin an Thompson, but the phy- sicians were unable to stay the hand of death, and after an examination pro- notlnced the wound fatal.

 Among other things interesting 10 the morbidly curious who crowded into the court room yesterday was the blood-stained hammer with which the deed was done.

Mrs. Katie Dunn of Reno New. In these
letters she told of her contemplation Of
suicide She also wrote to Wilson, telling
him that if he did not return to her she
would kill herself. Last night she went
to Wilson's store, and when ordered out

to the front door AS he did so he heard
woman's scream. The smoke was so
dense in the hall that he was obliged to
distance when he stumbled over the pros
trate form of Mrs. Towne.
The aged lady was in her room on the
second floor when she became aware that
the house was on fire. When she opened
the door leading into the hallway the
smoke was clouding up from the basement
and she was unable to see her way. By
cropping around she found the stairway
and managed to stagger to the bottom of
it, where she fell insensible.
H. Harris, a shipping clerk, was riding
home on Jones street car. He saw the
flames in the basement windows and
heard a Japanese shouting inside. Break
ing a window Harris tried to reach the
imprisoned man. Failing in this he broke
down a door and after several minutes
grasping the PROSTATE servant dragged
him into the street.
Fire Marshal Towe is investigating the
origin of the fire. The Japanese en-
ployed by Mrs Mitchen, 1t Is claimed, was
at night school when the flames broke
out. The servant who dragged from
the house in a half-suffocated condition
Joining. Despite the fact that he was
rescued by Harris the Japanese denied
that he was in the house.
Mrs. Mitchen says she uses no lamps;
that the place is entirely lighted by gas.
One theory advanced is that cigarette
carelessly discarded started the fire. but
the fire marshal and police intend to
make an investigation. The loss is about
$4,000.

FEMALE CHARITY
WORKER CAUGHT
Marie Smith Is Finally
Run Down by the
Police.

A well-dressed, niddle-aged woman
giving the name Of Marie Smith was ar
rested yesterday afternoon by Detectives
Dinan and Wren, and charged with OBJ
tanning money by false pretenses. For
some time past Mrs. Smith has been col
lecting various sums of money from char
itably inclined individuals on the repre-
sentation that the amount was to go to
the Little Sisters and Infants Shelter.
Yesterday Captain Seymour was told that
the woman was an impostor, and he de-
tailed Dinan and Wren to arrest here.
By. dint of inquiry the detectives learned
that Mrs. Smith was in the vicinity of the
wholesale district working" unsuspect-
ing merchants, and they started after her.
Recognizing her. as she left the office of
Robert Dollar of the Usal Redwood Com
pany at 204 Front street, they placed her
under arrest and took her to police head
quarters. In her pocket was found S5
which she had obtained from Mr. Dollar
on the false representation that 1t was to
be used in helping defray the expenses
of the Little Sisters institution. The
woman was accompanied by nine-year-
old boy, who, she claimed, was her son.
To Captain Seymour Mrs. Smith said
that her husband had died some time ago
and that she was forced to take in sew
ing to support herself and child. Refer
ring to the charge against her she said:
"If l have done anything wrong 1 did
not mean to. Several weeks ago / met a
woman, who told me her name was Mrs.
Wright, in a coffee saloon on Eddy street,
where L generally have breakfast. After
a short conversation she informed me
that she was connected with the Little
Sisters Shelter and that she wanted me
to help her in arranging a benefit for the
institution, as it was heavily in debt. She
gave me book, on the fly leaf of which
she wrote that | was authorized to col
lect funds for the proposed benefit. L
admit that l collected several hundred
dollars for the benefit but defy any
body to prove that obtained it under
false pretenses.'
Shortly after the woman had beer ar
rested the detectives went to her room
and found a memorandum book showing
that she had collected more than $500 for
the alleged benefit. Written on the fly
that Mrs Wright is authorized to collect
money for the benefit of the Little Sisters

he was busy with them. E. S. Pillsbury,

Heacock was an attempt to uncover all
the troubles that fell-to Frosts lot while
in the cold Arctic country.
The proceedings opened with a contlnu-
alton of the direct examination by
Attorney Heney. This was soon
ended, and Pillsbury began the cross-ex-
animation with alacrity and rapidity. But
he soon struck snag. After asking the
witness a question or two founded on the
Lekely affidavit Frost SHE'D out OF the
road and the attorneys, audience and
Commissioner filed out of the room and
into the Circuit Court of Appeals to lay
the matter before Judges Morrow, Gilbert
and Hawley.
The question to be argued was whether
or not Pillsbury had the right to take an
affidavit and ask the witness If there was
any statement in 1t which he knew to be
false. The bulk of the iat1idavit was hurled
at, Frost and he rebelled. So did his at
torneys. After deliberation the court
ruled that while the question was not in
the best form the witness should read the
afndavit and point out such passages as
he believed to be Emergencies from the
truth. This was done and the morning
