Windsor, June 10. Sheriff II. H.
Peck has practically completed his ar
rangements for the execution of Mrs
Mary Rogers next Friday afternoon
except that the persons who are to wit
ness the hanging have not yet been
settled upon.
The condemned woman spends her
time writing messages to her friends
and she rarely speaks to her attend
ants of late. Although she has not
been told in words what her fate is to
be, she realizes that she must hang and
is depressed and despairing.
Mrs Rogers mother, Mrs Johanna
Callahan of Hoosick Falls, arrived
here late tonight with another daugh-
ter. She will probably see Mrs Rogers
tomorrow. Mrs Callahan made a visit
to her daughter just before the prev.
ious time set for the execution Feb 2.
Mrs Rogers has no visitors, the on
ly persons she sees being the matron,
Mrs Durkee, who watches at night,
and Miss Abbie Tuxbury, the day
guard, besides the prison chaplain,
Rev William n. Hayes, who sees her
once week, and occasional visit
from Rev c Delaney.
Sheriff Peek considered that he had
done his duty when he read the last
reprieve to Mrs Rogers and will not
see her again until he reads the death

TANGLE OVER LAND DEAL.

OAKLAND, June ia battle for
possession of lands in Mendocino Coun-
ty, supposed to have been the property
of T. w. Harris, who died recently at
the County Infirmary, has involved
John f. Preston, an attorney of Ukiah,
in trouble with the Superior Court of
this county. John F. Barnet. repre-
senting the Caspar Lumber Company,
in court to-day tried to withdraw a bid
of s115o he had made for the property.
He showed a telegram which an
nounced that Preston had filed affida-
Wits at Ukiah averring that the title had
passed from Harris to q John Robin
son. Preston had tried to get the land
for $500 at a previous session of the
court. Attorney John de Lancey, rep
resenting the Public Administrator, ap-
peared in court to-day and reported
that the land was worth much more
than $500. Superior Judge Melvin per-
mitted Barnet to withdraw the bid, but
directed that the matter be referred to
Judge Ogden, before whom Preston had
appeared, that the attorney might be
disciplined If Judge Ogden should de-
eide his conduct warranted attention.

SAY POLICEMAN
WAS A BRUTE

Chief of Police Dinan has ordered an
investigation of the charges against
Policemen John II. Kramer and l. F.
Wren, filed by Henry Hunter, press
man employed by one of the morning
papers, alleging brutality In the arrest
of two women on Kearny street early
Yesterday morning. Both minions Of
the law were attired in plain clothes
and were off duty at the time Hunter
saws they were drunk and that Kramer
acted more like an infuriated beast
than a keeper of the peace. 1t Is
against the latter officer that the most
serious offense is charged. There We're
several witnesses to the affair and they
corroborate the story of Hunter. Cap
tain Duke has taken charge of the in
vestigation. The two women, Ruby Mil
ler and Pearl Barcy, were arrested, to-
gether with w. Lyle Slocum, who was
taken into custody for trying to remon-
strate with the policemen. They were
all released from prison yesterday on
bail.
According to the statements of the
eye-witnesses the disgraceful affair oc-
Cured about o'clock yesterday morn
ing when a number of pressmen were
going home from their work. Tho two
girls were walking down kearny street
when Wren stepped up and began to
talk with them Kramer rushed in a
by the waist and started to run with
her. She screamed and Kramer swore
at her, telling her that he was an OFF,
Ger and that he would fix her if she
opened her mouth again Nothing
daunted, the woman struck at him and
hit him in the face. This infuriated
Kramer and he lunged viciously at his
helpless charge.
BY this time a large crowd had gath
cred and they followed the patrolman
to the signal box. There he rang for
the patrol wagon and, seeing this, the
girl again struggled with him. Kramer
beat her cruelty about the head and
then kicked her again and again. Slo-
cum was in the crowd and attempted to
demonstrate, but he, too, was treated
shamefully and placed under arrest.
perfectly sober, was powerless to drag
Kramer from his unfortunate prey.
When brought up before the Chief of
Police, Kramer said he was accosted by
the women and that one of them struck
him without cause. Last night both
policemen gave the following signed
statement to Captain Duke:
Last night we reported of at 1918 a. m and
went to McDonough's saloon at Clay and
Kearny streets There we talked for about an
hour and had about five drinks of mineral wa
ter. Then we went to a restaurant Kearny
street, near Pine We left this place at 20
a. m. and met two women on Kearny street
near Sutter- They solicited to go with
them. When we reached Kearny and Cseary
streets we placed them under arrest for solicit
ing. At the bcx one of the women, named
Pearl Barcy. struck Kramer in the mouth
After she had hit him bystander interfered
by saying, Let them CO. CT words to that
effect. and we placed this man. named F. Sio-
cum, under arrest for interfering with an of

We afterward learned that these women were

HELD TO TESTIFY
AGAINST POACHERS
E. Friedlander Under Arrest
as Witness in Actions of
McLean'S Outfit.

The United States officials arrested
Edward Friedlander yesterday in con-
nection with the seal poaching outfit
of Captain Alexander Mclean. Fried
lander is now in the County Jail in
Oakland. Friedlander, however, does
not figure in the present case of the
Carmencita In her sealing expedition
through the Bering Sea. He was in
the previous trip of the little piratical
craft during her voyage to the north
ern waters in 1904, and with his other
shipmates was landed at Victoria at the
end of the last expedition.
His arrest was occasioned that he
might be held as a witness to testify
concerning the doings of Captain Nc
Lean and his proceedings at that time
His testimony will undoubtedly be of
value whenever Captain Mclean shall
come within the power Of the law
here.
At the present moment no one seems
to know exactly in what locality the
bold marauder is pursuing his ventures.
The Federal Government is determined
to put a stop to any further vio-
lations of the law in sealing waters
by him, and so soon as he lands here he
will be placed under arrest, and mat
ters will then go hard with him.
