OAKLAND, Sept. 16.-Grace Nc
Naughton, under examination on a
charge of stealing finery from the resi-
dence of Mrs. Thomas Mein, where she
had been employed as a maid, was re-
leased from custody on hAr own re-
cognizance this afternoon by Justice Of
the Peace Games G. Quinn. This ac-
ton was taken after the second days
hearing of the grand larceny charge
Attorney A L. Frick made the request
on behalf of his client, pointing out
that Miss McNaughton was in wretched
physical condition and could not obtain
bail. To the request, District Attorney
special counsel for Mrs. Mein, made no
objection.
After her release Miss McNaughton
was taken to San Francisco by her sis
ter, Mrs Maud Ramsey
During the examination this after
noon before Justice Quinn, Clara Hag-
gett who also had been a maid at the
Mein residence during Grace Nc
Naughton's stay there, threw volleys
of "I don't remembers at District At
torney Allen. He tried to bring out
the occurrences and conversations that
took place in Chief of Police Hodgkins'
office when Miss Haggett, Grace Nc

remembered about a valise and a yell

McNaughton's room. The questioning
of Miss Haggeft by the District Attor-
ney continued as follows:

ated the things taken from Mrs. Mein's house

Do you remember what you told him?
No.
Didn't you tell the Chief of Police who

didn't you say Grace had taken them? and
didn't she deny 1t and didn't you then say
You know better. you little thief, you did ?
Yes.
Now what did Grace say in response?

objections from Attorney Frick, 1--WE

Il wish you would call him, but l don't
think you will"
This colloquy excited interest as hint
ing that the defense will contend that
the police madea promises to the Nc
Naughton girl which would, if proved,
negative any testimony they might give
against her. Both sides excused Miss
Haggett, her testimony having
amounted to nothing. Mrs. William
Hewlett, wife of a police patrol wagon
driver identified hose supporters, a
piece of jet-beaded lace sleeve material
and bed pillow as having been given
to her by Grace McNaughton, who had
roomed at the Howletts'

Oakland Office San Francisco Call
1915 Broadway, Sept. Is.
BY an injunction granted to Harry
N Morse by Judge Ogden to-day the
hands of the Board of Supervisors have
been tied and further steps toward the
building of the Mocho road leading
from Livermore into the magnesite
district south of that city have been
blocked until the proceedings of the
Board OF Supervisors can be reviewed.
Morse claims the road is unnecessary,
and technical objections have been
made to the procedure of the board.
The matter of building this road has
been before the people for a year
Viewers were appointed and a survey
was made. With the exception of
claims aggregating $3.50 for the removal
of fences, the entire right of way for a
distance of 1884 miles was obtained free
of cost. In the tax levy Of last year a
special tax for the purpose of building
this road at an estimated cost of $50, 600
was Included, and last Monday a con-
tract for building the road was award
ed to w. ]. Schmidt, whose bid was
$43, 900 and the lowest received
At this juncture Morse has stepped in
and makes objection to the completion
of the work. He is resident of Oak
land, but claims pro bono publico that
the county generally should be spared
this tax. BY those in favor of the road
it is stated that it taps one of the rich
est portions Of Alameda County, as the
mineral claims of that region have re-
Gently been purchased and the work of
development on large scale is to be-
gin.
The hearing of a writ of review will
be taken UP next Friday.
