SINGER SEEKING
HEAVY DAMAGES
Octavia Tabor Tells Jury
of Humiliation of False
Charge and Imprisonment
FIANCE HER ACCUSER
Because He Said She Took
Watch and Diamond Pin
She Asks Balm of $4,000

A jury in Judge Graham's depart
ment yesterday heard the beginning
of the case of Octavia Tabor against
Charles H. Rogers and George w. and
Teresa Shriner for $4,000 damages for
false Imprisonment. The plaintiff was
on the stand most of the day. officer
White, who made the arrest, and Off
Ger Flynn, who escorted her back from
the station, told their stories briefly.
The Shriners conduct the Hotel Re-
gina. Rogers is Mrs. Shriner's brother
and was engaged to marry Mrs. Tabor
On the night of January 81 last he is
said to have accused his fiancee of
stealing his watch and a diamond pin.
He had her taken to the City Hall sta
tion.
Mrs. Tabor said she had never been
charged with wrongdoing before. Her
evidence was interesting. She studied
vocal music for nine years, one of her
teachers being Ugo Talbo, and she
intended TO teach for a living, but the
incident upon which the suit is based
interfered with her plans, and now she
is doing typewriting. Under the cross
examination of Judge Mcguire, repre-
senting the defense, it was brought out
that Mrs. Tabor is the divorced wife
of Samuel Tabor, a travelling man.
Last year, when she was living in the
Mercantile Library building an officer
searched her rooms for evidence of the
person or effects of a san Francisco
attorney, at the instance of the lat
ter's wife, but found nothing.
The plaintiff said she was introduced
to Rogers at the Regina They be-
came friendly at a later meeting at the
day she visited him at his home on
Shotwell street. At the invitation of
himself and his housekeeper she re-
mained all night and shortly after they
were engaged.
On the unfortunate day in January
she went to San Mateo with a
friend and returned to the Re-
gina in the evening. The Shrin-
ers and Rogerses, she says, were
they had two drinks of Tom and Jerry.
At this time a man named Brodie jok-
ingly took the watch from Rogers
pocket and Rogers expressed surprise
that he could have been fooled" La
ter Rogers and Mrs. Tabor went out
for oysters. When they returned she
asked him what time It was. The
watch was gone and, according to the
witness, he grabbed her by the arm.
dragged her upstairs to the room Of
the Shriners and declared that she had
stolen his watch and also a diamond
pin which he had lost at the beach a
week before. Her protestations of in
nocence were in vain and an officer
was sent for, who took her to Jail.
There Rogers said he had decided not
to prosecute the case.
She said that Rogers wanted to
patch the thing up, but she decided to
leave the hotel, whereupon he offered
to pay the SIS room rent which would
have been due, but she declined to ac-
cept 1t.
The trial will be resumed Monday
morning. Mrs. Tabor is represented
by Attorney A. B. Treadwell.

TUSCAN SPRINGS
co INTO COURT
Serious Allegations Filed
Against Former Manager
of Pretty Rural Resort

Two suits were filed in the United
States court yesterday against E. B.
Wallbridge to recover an aggregate
of $4,000 damages for alleged libel
and fraud. The plaintiff In the first
case is the Tuscan Mineral Springs
Company. 1t is charged that on July
20, 1903. the defendant, intending to
defraud, falsely represented to the
plaintiff that the springs were of great
value and contained health restoring
properties and that the profits of the
business had amounted to $4,000 for
the twelve months Immediately pre-
ceding that date. 1t is alleged that
there was no profit in the business
that springs Nos. 5, 8 and Is were
dry and gave no water whatever, and
that the defendant, in order to de-
fraud the plaintiff, had the springs ar
tificially filled with ordinary drinking
water devoid of any mineral proper
ties whatsoever.
It is charged further that, relying
upon the fraudulent representations
of the defendant, the plaintiff axperd-
ed 1000 upon rents and improve
ments. The plaintiff wants that sum
returned.
The plaintiff in the second suit is
Frank ]. HELEN. manager of the Tus-
can Springs. He asks $4,000 dam
ages for a libel published in the Ex-
aminer on October 8, wherein Il was
stated that the defendant had COM
mitted frauds in his management of
the property.
