A. X. Emery, charged with insanity
and accused of having made a murder
Gus attack on his wife and daughter.
was adjudged insane by Drs. A. Fl.
Pratt and l.. r. Webster this afternoon
and an order for his commitment TO the
State Hospital at Stockton was signed
by Judge f. 3. ogden. He stin has a
chance to fight for his liberty and his
attorneys have given notice that they
wiz demand a jury trial for their
client. 1t is an unusual proceeding and
owing TO the nature of the case has
complicated the situation.
The hearing before the Lunacy Com
mission to-day developed the fact that
Emery has for several years past been
subject to violent Outbursts of temper,
and during them would kick his chill
dren and threaten to kill them. Two
weeks ago he attacked his wife and
dragged her down into the basement
Of the house and threatened to kill her.
lie had three graves dug there, and he
told her she was to occupy one of them.
Before he offered her any further vio-
lence the screaming of his eldest
daughter, about II years of age, caused
him to relinquish his hold on the
mother and attack the daughter. He
caught her by the throat and choked
her until she fell to the ground insen-
sible. The mother in the meantime es-
capped. Last Sunday night he went to
the Advent Baptist Church. and going
into the pew where his daughter was
sitting frightened her sufficiently TO
make her faint. In the commOtiOn that
resulted he escaped and was not ar
rested until the next day in San Fran
cisco.
Emery has three attorneys and they
are making every effort to free their
client. He claims that his wife and
children are trying to railroad him to
an asylum. He was sent to the Hospi
tai for the Insane at Stockton once be-
fore. but was released about four
months ago as cured Since his return
his wife states that he has been more
violent than ever, and he has so fright
ened the entire family that they are all
afraid to stay in the house with him
Drs. Pratt and Webster and Judge
Ogden expressed themselves as well
satisfied that the man is insane, but
according to a provision of the statute
he has a right, if dissatisfied with the
decision of the doctors, TO demand
jury trial This has now been done.
and the evidence. must go before a jury,
who for d second time will pass upon
the testimony.

1915 Broadway, July 16.
Love proved stronger than divorce
to-day and Clara Frontier, who on the
18th Of last month obtained a divorce
from Alfred Z. Frontier. was remarked
to him again this afternoon. While
they had made much of their troubles,
and she had proved to the satisfaction
Of the court that she had been cruelty
treated and that her husband had
pointed pistol at her and threatened
to Kill her, she was willing to forget
and forgive, for a life alone had its sor-
rows and of the two she chose to re-
turn TO those OF matrimony.
The Frontiers were married only two
years ago and they have a child of
which both are very fond. Their life
was spoiled. however, by the outbursts
Of temper displayed by Frontier. who
abused his wife. swore at her and even
threatened her life. Upon one of these
occasions she made UP her mind that
she could not live with him any longer
and began a suit in which she was only
too successful. Less than a months s
separation, however, showed them both
that there was a possibility of happi-
ness still left them and to-day they de-
cided they would begin over again. In
order that there should be no ccmplica-
tion they secured a new license and for
a second time pledged their troth at the
marriage altar.

who is confined IN the Alameda Coun-
ty Jail under the name Of julius Stein
berg. was fully established to-day by
Mrs. Paul Stewart, the wife of the
pastor of the United Presbyterian
Church Of this city. Mrs. Stewart full
ly verifies the story of the Prince re-
garding his descent and establishes
the only link wanting to clear the
young man Of the charge of falsehood.
Mrs. Stewards father, the Rev.
Ebenezer Currie, was an intimate
friend of Maharajah Dhuleep Singh,
the father of Prince Ramina. and was
present at the marriage of the Maha-
rajah to Bamba Muller, pupil of the
United Presbyterian mission school in
Cairo, Egypt, where for many years
DR.. Currie was a missionary and
teacher. In later years Mrs. Stewart
and the Maharanee Bamba Singh,
mother Of Ramina, became close
friends and this friendship continued
until the death of the latter in Lon
don in 1887.
Mrs. Stewart now has in her pos
session a number Of photographs of

was by means of these that she es-
tablished the identity Of Prince Ra-

MISSIONARY TESTS HIS CLAIMS.

Mrs. Stewards attention was first
drawn to the unfortunate scion of In
dian royalty by the published accounts
of his arrest and the strange story
told by him, but she believed the
young man to be an impostor, and
paid little attention to the stories until
she saw in a published interview with
the Prince the statement that his
mother had been Buddhist. AS Mrs.
Stewart knew that the Maharanee
Bamba had lived and died devout
Christian she decided to silence the
man whom she believed to be ignor-
antly libeling her lifelong friend. Mrs
Stewart took with her to the Jail pho
tographs of the Maharajah and his
wife and gave them to Jailer Harry
Clark, instructing him to show them
to the supposed Prince without excit-
ing his suspicious to the identity of
the originals. This plot was carried
out.
The Prince was called into the Jail
office to-day. He looked at the pic
ture of Maharanee Bamba without re-
mark, but when he saw the photo of
her husband he at once exclaimed:
why, that is a picture Of my father"
Thus the identity of Prince Ramina
Aramancha Singh was established.
In. Mrs. Stewards interview with the
prisoner which followed it transpired
that she knew more of his mothers
history than did the Prince himself.
This was not surprising, as the Mahar-
anee Bamba had died when he was but
6 years of age and he had never known
much about her, having been brought
up by his stepmother, a woman of the
Buddhist faith whom his father had
married in Paris after deserting his
first wife two years before she died in
London.
In 1855 Maharajah Singh deserted the
Maharanee Bamba, and taking his
youngest son, then 4 years old, with
him, he went to Paris, where, a year
later he married a woman of the Budd-
hist faith, with whom he lived until
his death. The second wife, who was

Chicago, May Z. - Bread, yesterday
plentiful and inexpensive, to-day q
scarcity, may be tomorrow a luxury
In Chicago. BY the end of the week
Chicago is in danger of facing a genu.
inc bread famine.
The seven big bakeries where the
bakers have walked out and from
whose ovens two-thirds of the bakery
bread supply comes are running day
and night.
Bread has not risen in price, but the
larger bakeries complain that they
will not be able much longer to sell a
loaf of bread for cents. With -four
nearly 81 higher in price and pro-
tracted strike staring them in the face
the conditions are said to demand an
increase in the amount charged.
Critical Situation Likely.
The big bakeries yesterday, more
over, stopped the importation of bread.
Should the strike spread, as it threat
ems to do, the situation, it is predict
ed, will be critical.
Both the bakery bosses and the
strikers seem determined to fight the
question out to the bitter end. Rumors
of settlement yesterday failed to
materialize. Police guarded the bak.
cry wagons and the action is expected
to precipitate sympathetic strike of
the bakery drivers.
