RELEASED FROM CUSTODY
FOR LACK OF EVIDENCE
Three Men Accused of Swindling Paul
Van Loon, Hotel Proprietor,
Escape Facing Jury.

Judgment was given by Judge
Cook yesterday on the application for
a writ of habeas corpus for the re-
lease from custody of David Cox,
George Williams and Benjamin PHI
Gus, charged with grand larceny. The
writ was dismissed and the pris 'rers
discharged.
The defendants were arrested ard
h-ld &c answer for having induced
Paul Van Loon of the Hotel Franklin
to bet on the races on the statemen-
that they had inside information. Van
Loon bet and lost $3.50.
The Judge, in rendering his decis-
ion, said he had carefully read the
transcript of the testimony taken at
the preliminary hearing and, although
he was satisfied the transactions were
the acts of sharpers, there was not one
word of testimony to show that the
defendants had received one cent of
the money or had profited by the
complaining witness loss. Nor was
there any evidence to conect them
with the man or men who received
the money. From his knowledge of
the methods of criminals it was easy
to guess that the defendants partici-
pated in the loss, but no one could be
sent to the States prison on guess

Musicians at Outs.

Prof E. S. Bonelli has brought suit in
the Superior Court for $4,000 against
Theodore Salmon, a teacher of the piano,
whom he charges with unprofessional
conduct The complaint reads that for
the past three years Miss Maybelle Kelly
has been pupil of Prof Bonelli, and
was so until the 3rd day of Febru-
ary, 1904, when her last lesson was
given at the Conservatory conducted by
the professor. Also that on Thursday
evening, January %, 1904, Mr.. Salmon
gave a musicale, at which Miss Kelly ap-
peared. Being represented as a pupil of
Mr.. Salmon, when, in fact, she was still
a pupil at Prof Bonelli's Conservatory
and had taken her regular lesson there
the day before. All is, therefore, not un-
interrupted harmony in the musical
world. In speaking Of the case Prof.
Bo1elli says that such an act is un-
precedented in the musical profession
and that Mr.. Salmon could not claim
ignorance of the fact that Miss Kelly
was pupil of the Conservatory,
as he had been present at the profess
sor's concert when Miss Kelly had taken
part. on January 6, 1904. Mr.. Bonelli
naturally feels grieved over the fact that
the music-loving public may have been
led to the opinion that Miss Kelly's high
attainments as a musician were the di-
rect results of the efforts of another in
structor than himself. AS result Mr..
uuested to discontinue her lessons at the
Conservatory. He considered Mr. Sal
mons action a deliberate attempt to
steal his thunder and feels confident that
the Superior Court will award him dam

POISONER GETS
LIFE SENTENCE
Judge Cook Sends Mrs. Martha
E. Bowers to. State Prison
for the Rest of Her Years
WOMAN WELLS HER FACE
Motion for a New Trial Is
Denied and an Appeal Will
Be Token to Supreme Court

Mrs. Martha E. Bowers who was con-
of charge of numbering her husband
Martin L. Bowers, by administering
poison to him, was formally sentenced
by the Judge yesterday. She will spend
the remainder of her days in San Quen-
tin, the jury having fixed her punish
ment at life imprisonment.
The defendant was dressed in black
and a heavy black veil concealed her
features. The Judge in passing SEN
tence did not ask her to raise her veil
Her sister, Mrs. Zylphia Sutton, sat be-
side her and offered her whatever con-
ISOLATION she could prior to and after
sentence was pronounced.
When the defendant was asked if she
had anything to say why sentence
should not be passed upon her Attorney
Frank G. Drury arose and made a mo-
tion for a new trial. He based the mo-
ton on several grounds, including
among others that the jury had been
guilty of misconduct, that the evidence
was insufficient, that the Judge had
misdirected the jury and that new and
important evidence for the defendant
had been discovered.
Drury spoke at considerable length in
support of the motion, dwelling partic-
ularly on the medical testimony and
arguing that there was ample evidence
to show that death was due to natural
causes. He was followed by Attorney
Caldwell of Fresno, who had been
brought into the case.
The Judge denied the motion for a
new trial, but at the request of the de-
fendants attorneys granted a stay of
twenty days to enable them to prepare
the papers for an appeal to the Su-
preme Court

SAYS HIS WIFE
WAS NERCENA AIRY
Beck Ayers That He Is Victim
of Woman Who Married Him
for Price of Railroad Ticket
WANTS TIE ANNULLED
Claims That His Spouse Left
Him the Very Day She Got
Possession of His Savings

According to q complaint for annul-
ment of marriage filed yesterday by
w 7. Beck, a painter, against Ida I.
Beck. nc was cruelty deceived by Mrs
Beck. He says that the only reason
she became his wife was because he
had the large sum of $50 on his per-
son. She wanted the money, he says,
to pay her way East and as she could
only get it by becoming his wife she
married him. This was in June of
last year, the ceremony being per-
formed by Rev. DR.. Waltz. 1t was not
until September Il that she succeed
ed in getting the $50, he says, and on
that very day she decamped.
Mary r. Smigel, who was married
to Stanley Smigel at Buffalo, n. Y,
in 1892, sued him for divorce yester-
day on the ground Of cruelty She
says that ever since their marriage he
has cruelty abused her, not only ver-
bally, but with his fists. She says he
has not only struck her and cursed
her times beyond number, but once at
his sisters wedding got beastly drunk
the invited guests.
Desertion is alleged in the complaint
for divorce filed by w. c. Angermunde
against Pauline Z. Angermunde. They
were married at New York ten years
ago. Neglect and desertion are the
grounds in the suit commenced by
Ebba McShane against Frank Nc
Shane. Their marriage took place at
Oakland in July, 1902. They lived to-
gether until February, 1908, when,
alleges Mrs. McShane, her husband
deserted her.
w. H. Harris is seeking a divorce
from Eta May Harris for cruelty.
Stella Clark was granted a divorce
yesterday from T. S. Clark by Judge
Murasky and given permission to re-
sumo her maiden name, Duncan. The
testimony given by Mrs. Clark and
others showed that her husband had
treated her in a cruel and inhuman
manner. The matter was not con-
tested.
George Henry ogden was sent to
Jail for five days by Judge Murasky
because of his refusal to pay to Her
minia Ogden, his divorced wife, the
alimony ordered at the time the de-
cree of divorce was granted. Ogden
offered as his excuse for not comply
ing with the court order the fact that
he had taken unto himself a second
wife, but the court refused to con-
slider that good and sufficient reason
and sent him to Jail until such time
as he pays his arrearages in alimony.

for murder before jury in Judge
Cooks court and convicted of man
slaughter, appeared for sentence yes
