DECLARES WINE
WAS HAR MLESS
Mrs. J. Marshall Asserts She
Felt No Evil Effects
From Drinking Sherry

Though Mrs Juana Marshall, the
aged Mexican woman who was alleged
to have been poisoned last December
from drinking sherry, denies that she
suffered any Ill effects from the stuff,
the police have sent the bottle Of wine
to the City Chemist.
According to Mrs. Leonie Lucich. the
nurse who had been attending Mrs.
Marshall until January 8, the wine was
left at the door of the old woman's
home, 1112 Powell street, by Robert
Donahue, a relative of Mrs. MarshalPs s
deceased husband. Mrs. Lucich says
she took the sherry to the old woman,
who drank some of it and Immediately
afterward became i'll.
Mrs. Marshall drank from the bottle
on the next day, and again became Ill.
Mrs Lucich became suspicious, and
when she left Mrs. Marshalps employ
on January she took the bottle with
her. Last Thursday she took the stun
to DR.. d. Trevino- The physician
forced some of it into the mouth of a
kitten, which in seventeen minutes died
frothing at the mouth
The physician believes that the
symptoms were those of corrosive
sublimate poisoning. The bottle had
been in Mrs. Lucich's possession, ac-
cording to the nurse, since January 8.
On Saturday she gave bottle of
wine to Detective Bailey, saying that
it was the one that made Mrs. Mar
shall i'll. The wine was analyzed, but
no traces of poison were found in it.
Yesterday Mrs. Lucich handed over to
Detective Bell another bottle. The first
bottle she declared was not the one
that contained the poison. The second
bottle is now in the hands of the City
Chemist.
The tale of the alleged poisoning
came to light through a squabble over
the management of Mrs. Marshalps es-
tate. The old woman owns property
worth about $50, ,0OO which was left her
by her husband, Joseph Marshall.
former restaurateur. James McMur
ray was administrator of the estate
until January 80. Then Juan Azarve,
barber, obtained from the old woman a
power of attorney.

Marshall, and Robert Donahue have
filed suit to have the power of attorney
dissolved and to have a guardian ap

kerrigan's court to-day.

TEAMSTER TAKES A FATAL
DRINK OF CARBOLIC ACID
Brother of Joseph Cooney Says His
Death Was Due to Accident and
Not Design

Joseph Cooney, a teamster, who
lived at 2oB Folsom street, died from
taking draft of carbolic acid yester-
day morning. He was single man,
35 years of age, and lived with his
parents. Whether his death was ac-
cidental or intentional is a matter of
conjecture.
Walter Cooney. brother of the
dead man. told Deputy Coroner Fen
nell that Joseph had been subject to
fits and violent pains in his head ever
since he fell off the City Hall about
two years ago. He was in the habit
of drinking diluted carbolic acid and
whisky to relieve the pain in his head.
Yesterday morning Joseph ate his
breakfast and seemed to be in good
spirits. Then he complained of the
pain in his head, and Walter supposes
he swallowed too big a dose of the di-
luted carbolic acid. His mother
bought the acid about four days ago.
The body was removed to the Morgue.

SAY CLARK HAS
CORRECT IDEA
San Francisco Artists Are
Delighted to Hear About
New Directors Schemes

Local artists are enthusiastic over
the remarks made by Sir Carpar Clark
in London Saturday. His scheme to
encourage American art through his
position of director of the Metropolitan
Museum of Art in New York is hailed
with the greatest satisfaction. San
Franciscos painters have unlimited
confidence in the development of their
art in this country and feel that the
time is near when the canvasers of
native Americans shall equal and out
shine the more matured works of the
Old World Amandee Joullin said yes
terday:
l think Sir Caspar Clark comes pretty near
to the truth. Too many Americans buy their
pictures abroad because the European trade
mark has an attraction for them There are
some Americans, however, who know how TO
appreciate paintings without respect to the
nation from which they come and who will pay
prices commensurate with the character of
the work.
. we must remember that the country is young
yet and that perhaps art has not had the OPP
portunity to grow proportionately with other
things l believe that the artist should always
depict his own country. We Americans should
paint American history, American landscapes
and American marines There is here as much
wealth in art subjects as in anything else,
There is not sufficient discrimination exer-
cised in the purchase of pictures know of

Francis McComas said:

be introduced into American art by securing
Sir Caspar Clark's services as director of the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York
There are it is true. very few people in
America at present who can thoroughly ap-
preciate American art minus the hallmark of
Europe. Discerning people still do their fell
low countrymen justice nevertheless.
The Metropolitan Museum will stand reno
