MOTHER ACCUSES
HUMANE OFFICER.
JUDGE RETURNS CHILD TO-
WOMAN'S CUSTODY
Agent of Society Is Charged With
Having Taken the Babe From
Its Mothers
Arms

HAS an officer of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children the
authority to take a babe from it's moth
ers arms without due investigation
and give the child to any other rela-
tive?" .
This question was forcibly answered
late yesterday afternoon when Judge
York in the superior court put dam
per on the alleged caprices of an Off
Ger of the society by granting to Mad
anne Antonia M. de Chavney the Gus
tody of her 1-year-old babe, who was
taken from her arms by officer j. G.
Webb, who is employed by the Los An
geles Humane society.
Webb told the court that he was un-
able to say why he had taken the child
from it's mother, except that he had
acted by the suggestion of disinter-
ested party, who in this case proved to
be the Mexican consul. ga
Webb gave the babe into. the Gus
tody of the father, who failed to show
up to any advantage yesterday in the
eyes of the court.
"Will you return to your husband 2"
asked Judge York of the slender little
woman.
Anger flashed in the eyes of the
woman, and coming to position dt
rectly in front of Judge York's desk,
she exhibited some ugly scars on her
head which, she declared, were inflicted
by her husband.
1t was a case where actions were
stronger than words, for without ask
ing another question Judge York gave
the little one to her mother.
In the habeas corpus proceedings
brought by the mother to regain her
babe, Attorney James d. Reymert act
ed as her counsel.

ITALIANS TO F0RTIFY

ROME, March 16.-In view of the
International situation which has pre-
vailed since Italy entered the triple
Alliance in 1882, she has entirely ne
elected her Notifications on the east
ern frontier, centering all her efforts
on fortifying the western frontier, as
Italy's relations with France were then
so strained that under Premier Crispi
a conflict seemed imminent.
Since 1889, however, the most friend
ly relations have been re-established
with France, and the opinion now pre-
walls here that all the Italian frontiers
should be equally protected, not for
aggressive purposes, but so that Italy
may be ready for all possible occur
sences
Consequently, the proper authorities
have been studying the best method of
insuring safety of the peninsula along
the eastern Alps, which are strategical-
ly Italy's weakest point, as Austrian
territory so, projects into Italy as to
enable a hostile army to be in the heart
of Lombardy or Venetla after a few
days march. A bill will be accord
ingly presented to parliament making
the necessary appropriation for the
fertilization of the Italian frontier in
the direction of the Eastern Alps. but
any suneasiness ON the subject in Aus
tria is declared to be unjustifiable,
Italy's object being merely defensive.

PLEADS GUILTY
MAN OF MANY WIVES SEN
TENCED TO PENlTENTlARY
While oreanIst Of a Pasadena Church
He Married a Young Woman Of
That clty-Arrested In
the East

J. S. McMurray, alias Edgar Rugby,
one of the most notorious bigamlsts Of
recent times, confessed to his matrlmo-
nial adventures yesterday before Judge
Smith in the superior court, and
the next three years he will spend In
the penitentiary at San Quentin.
The man Of many wives Is Ca
madam by birth, and he did not make
he had taken unto himself several life
partners.
McMurray was first married In the
early 70s to Sarah Eliza McCrary, a
cultured young woman living at Belle
vile, Ontario Canada. Before the
honeymoon had waned McMurray de-
serted his young wife and for several
years he travelled over the Dominion of
Canada, delivering lectures on geo.
graphical subjects.
In the early sos McMurray forsook
his native country and came to the
United States to begin life anew. Soon
after his advent into this country Nc
Murray married a prominent young
woman at Des Moines, Ia, but after
living together for a short time they
separated and for several years all
trace of his whereabouts was lost.
i'he scene of the bigamist's next anna
tory conquest was at Houston, Texas,
where he ingratlated himself into the
good graces of prominent young So
ciety woman. After a courtship last
ing but few weeks, McMurray claimed
another victim, and a child was born
as a result of his matrimonial union
in Texas.
The bgamist came to California over
year ago and took up his residence
at Pasadena, where he soon became
quite we'll known owing to his musi-
cal and literary accomplishments.
While acting as the organist In the
First Christian church of Pasadena,
McMurray became infatuated with Miss
Loretta Campbell, a well-known young
woman of that city. He led his final
victim to the altar July II last, and
on October 23 following the bigamist
deserted his Pasadena wife and dis
appeared.
McMurray was arrested January 80
last at Scranton, Pa, where he had
become known in church circles. When
arrested he practically admitted his
guilt, and he was brought back to an
swer for his crimes by Chief w. w
Freeman of the Pasadena police de-
partment.
