point a committee in conjunction with

DAVIS FEARS
AMES' PISTOL

When Thomas Davis left the United
States District Court room yesterday
his way to liberty he was closely
guarded by United States Marshal
Shine and Deputy Dingley until he had
boarded a horse-car for the ferry.
Davis had just been acquitted of the
charge of making a brutal attack upon
Mrs. A. H. Ames in her stateroom on
the steamer Alliance on October Is Of
last year. This was his third trial, the
former juries having disagreed.
Mrs. Ames is the wife of a farmer re-
siding at Marshfield, Or. The indig
nant husband paced the corridor out
side the courtroom during the trial. He
is a determined looking man, and to
prevent him from assaulting the pris-
oner Marshal Shine took Ames into
his office last Monday evening and dis
armed him of large revolver. At 3:45
p. m. yesterday, when the jury, after
having been out since noon, reported
In favor OF acquitting Davis, Ames was
at the Winchester Hotel obtaining
medical assistance for his wife, who
was on the verge of collapse.
Beads of perspiration stood on Davis
face as he stepped out of the
Appraisers building at the corner of
Sansome and Washington streets and
looked about him, while his guards
stood about twenty feet on each side
of him on the watch for the vengeful
husband Not more than a half min
ute elapsed before a horse-car bound
for the ferry came along. Davis
stepped quickly upon the front plat
form and heaved a sigh of relief at his
escape.

on a charge of arson alleged to have

failed to find any allegation of a
crime having been committed.

ABOUT THE END
Attorneys in DOlbeer Case
Busy in Final Effort to
Strengthen Contentious
MISS WAGNER ON STAND
incidentally Gives Defni-
tion That Enjoins Use
of Term Society Girl"
MISS WAGNER ON STAND

The proponents did not close their
case in the Dolbeer will contest yes
terday, as was expected. 1t is not GER
tain they will conclude to-day for in
taking the last survey they may de-
eide to call one or two more witnesses.
whose testimony would probably hold
the attention of the court till to-mor-
row.
The attorneys for the contestant
were unable to say yesterday how
much time they would take for testi-
rnony in rebuttal. While the end is
impending, the lawyers are slow to re-
linquish their open way to the witness
stand
To expedite matters Judge Coffey re-
fuses to hear argument on the more
trivial objections raised by the attor-
neys. Il don't want to restrict coun-
sci unfairly, but do want to finish
TINS trial some time in the present gen
Grafton he announced yesterday.
More testimony was offered to prove
the sanity of the testatrix. The most
important witness Of the day was Miss
Helen F. Wagner. Other than Miss
Warren, she was Miss Dolbeer's most
intimate friend, and a bequest of $4,000
in the will atteStS this close friend
company of the testatrix until the day
of Miss Dolbeer's departure for Eu-
rope. The relations between them
were such that condolences were mu-
! tually exchanged.
In revealing some of these on the
witness stand much light was thrown
by Miss Wagner on the estimable
character of Miss Dolbeer. In one of
, the numerous confidential chats matri-
mony was discussed in a general way.
Il couldn't care for man because Of
his money" Miss Dolbeer had said. Il
would never marry a title, for 1 think
that is foolish. Nor could I marry a
foreigner: 1 would marry none but an
American. Social position has no at
traction for me. The man whom I
would marry must have a work to do
he must be man of active affairs
and accomplish something in the
world. He must have the quality of
earnestness in life. Social position and
money are not enough. care too much
for the life of :, happy home and the
| affection in it,
Miss Wagner also described the
many automobile trips. social affairs
and other diversions from which Miss
Dolbeer derived much enjoyment.
In all the intimate relations of their
friendship the witness never detected
a sign of failing mind in the testatrix.
At the time the will was executed.
Miss Wagner declared, Miss Dolbeer
was undoubtedly of sound mind.

DEFINES "sOCIETY GIRL.

The cross-examination was some
what severe Among other things,
Miss Wagner denied that Miss DoIbeer
was "a society girl and when called
on gave the following as her definition
of the term:
"a society girl is one who goes out
all the time, is frivolous, has no serious
or for love and affection, and is with
out deep feeling or emotion"
Miss Dolbeer was not such a girl in
any particular, said the witness.
That's not my life either" she fur
ther declared, when asked what part
she took in society.
Miss Dolbeer wrote several letters to
Miss Wagner after leaving San Fran
cisco in April, but witness presented
only one of them. 1t was written in
Paris little over a month previous to
the death of the testatrix in New York.
To show that Miss Dolbeer was then
in happy frame of mind and as indica-
tive itself of a rational and sane mind
the missive was introduced in evidence.
In the date line the testatrix made a
facetious use of French, with which
she was struggling during her stay in
Paris. The letter tells in happy vein
how she was enjoying herself and goes
far to deny the contention that she
was in ill-health and disturbed mind
while participating in the gayeties OF
the French capital.
William w. Carson, cashier for Dol
beer & Carson Company, told of the
intelligence and good judgment ex-
hibited by the testatrix in looking aft
er her business affairs. The witness

Young Carson was a witness to the

knew nothing of the second will, which

he was not able to comply with.

NEW Use OF PHOTOGRAPH.

The proponents introduced Pho
tograph of Miss Dolbeer and 1t was
scrutinized by the jury. 1t Is some
what new in legal practice to employ
photographs to supplement the testi-
mony of witnesses as to the appear
ance of a person and the portrayal OF
character. Fortified by a New York
decision Judge Coffey granted the re-
quest of the proponents.
The opinion of ]. Stanley Foster, as
sistant cashier of the Bowery Bank,
New York. that Miss Dolbeer was OF
sound mind was added to the heap of
cumulative testimony on this point.
In the deposition read to the jury Fos-
ter said he was a passenger on the
Deutschland, on which the testatrix
and Miss Warren crossed to Europe.
Deponent had many conversations
with Miss Dolbeer and she was at all
times rational and coherent.
William G.. Mugan. one of the eN-
ecutors of the will, was recalled and
asked If he did not say to Arthur H.
Barendt, then a reporter, on the re-
ceipt of the news from New York of
Miss Dolbeer's death that he feared 1t
was only too true" is intimated in
the dispatch, that she had lost her
mind. The witness made emphatic
denial.
The trial will be resumed this morn
