COLEMAN FREED Of
b|GAMY CHARGE
Strange Twist of Law Does
Away With Guilt, Even if
Story of Accuser Is True
MARRIAGE IS LEGAL

1T the contention of the woman liv-
ing at 1410 Greenwich street who
claims to be the wife of Rufus A. Cole
man, is correct, the charge of bigamy
which she has threatened to bring
against him because he recently went
to Virginia City, New, and married
Marion Drewe, the artist, is groundless
This woman, whom Coleman asserts
he never married, appeared yesterday
at the Office of the District Attorney
and made statements which she failed
to include in her narration at the time
she made the original complaint after
the marriage of Coleman and Miss
Drewe. She stated that she was Cole
mans second wife, and that his present
marriage constitutes the second case of
bigamy perpetfated by him. Accord
ing to her story, Coleman originally
married a woman in England, by which
union he was the father of three chill
dren. Later, she says, he embezzled
money, was put in jail. and afterward
separated from his wife without secur-
ing a divorce, and came to this country
The woman who claims TO be Mrs.
Coleman Number says she married
him believing him to be an unmarried
man, but that she later learned OF the
first Mrs. Coleman and verified the
facts of the former marriage through
correspondence with her. She then left
Coleman, she says, but returned TO MIN
when he promised that he would secure
a divorce from the English woman She
was afterward informed that this di-
vorce had been secured.
If these statements are correct, Mrs
Coleman's charge of bigamy is without
foundation. Although Coleman's al
legged marriage to her while the nus
band of another woman was bigamous.
the statute of limitation prevents any
action in that case. If, as she claims,
he subsequently secured a divorce from
his first wife. he became and has ever
since remained an unmarried man. HIS
supposed marriage to wife No. was
illegal, and did not actually constitute
a marriage because of the fact that
he was married to his first wife at the
time Thus his marriage to Marion
Drewe was legal, the divorce from the
first wife having given him the right
to marry any one and at any time he
might choose.

FOOTPADS D|SROBE
THEIR VICTIM

After having been beaten, robbed
and stripped of all his outer garments,
John Enquist, United States marine,
who was discharged at Vallejo last
Monday. was thrown by his assailants
into vacant lot Wednesday evening
at the corner of Kearny and Pacific
streets, where he remained in an I'M
conscious condition all night. He was
found by Policemen Duffy and Mills
yesterday morning. very weak and ex-
hausted as a result of exposure and
the rough treatment he received at the
hands of the thugs. He was minus his
coat vest, trousers and shoes, all of
which he had just purchased. His
watch and $25 in gold were also miss
ing. John DAILY and John Chambers, two
men who had been in company with
the marine early in the evening, were
arrested. A third man, who is known
to the police, is being looked for. All
Of the stolen property except the
watch has been recovered.

SON IS CONVICTED:
FATHER JAILED

Enraged over the conviction of his
son for petty larceny, August Fleming
appeared yesterday at the store of
Benjamin r. King on Fillmore street,
between Turk and Eddy, and, waving a
revolver. threatened to kill King for
prosecuting young Fleming. King
called in Patrolman ODowd and the
elder Fleming was placed behind bars
in the Bush street station.
Edward Fleming, 16 years old, was
pronounced guilty yesterday afternoon
by Judge Shortall of stealing razors
from Kings store. Kings testimony
was conclusive and resulted In the de-
cision of the court. Judge Shortall
sentenced the youth to four months In
Jail and refused to listen to the plea
of the father for a reversal of the
sentence.
The elder Fleming left the court
room vowing vengeance. Shortly after
ward he entered Kings store and
threatened to kill the merchant Flem-
Ing was charged with assault with a
deadly weapon and at late hour last
night had failed to secure bail.

BRITISH CONSUL IS
WISER MAN NOW

Courtenay W. Bennett, British Consul
General. is the principal student Of a
class now under the tutelage Of the
California Promotion Committee, which
organization is doing much to correct
misimpressions of the effect of the
April holocaust on conditions in San
Francisco.
Many San Francisco business houses.
especially those which have European
connections, and which deal in foreign
goods, were irritated by the report
made by Consul Bennett to his Gov
eminent, in which he pictured condi-
lions here in q highly unjust and un-
true way. Numerous complaints hav-
ing been made by merchants to the
California Promotion Committee, that
organization took up the matter with
the Consul General, and afer an ex-
tended correspondence, in which facts
and figures were shown TO prove that
matters had reached a much better
condition than that depicted by the
official report, the committee has re-
ceived a letter of date of December 5,
in which Consul General Bennett
writes, apologetically:
7 have always found that consular
reports are taken more by merchants
as hints and suggestions and that they
are not looked upon as conclusive evil
dence Of the statements made therein.
The remarks made by me will, there
fore. be investigated. and, if not found
correct, will not be further considered.
or have any influence on the trade OF
San Francisco.
The great part Of your information,
contained in your letter as to building
cleaning up, etc, has been sent to my
Government"
In all the correspondence with the
Consul General the committee endeav-
ored TO show san Francisco conditions
correctly, and there is no question that
the later reports sent by the British
Official to his Government will go far
TO correct the Misrepresentation which

TALE Of TORTURE
TOLD BY TARS

A weird tale of confessions wrung
from innocent persons by torture sug-
costing the rack and thumbscrew
before United States Commissioner
Heacock yesterday by George r. Castle
man and Harry Reynolds in the exam
ination of Walter S. Varnum. master
Of the whaler Herman, charged with
cruelty on the high seas.
Castleman swore that on January Z.
1904, he, with Harry Reynolds. Will
liam j. Noble, alias Riley, and William
Presley. were handcuffed, with their
hands behind their backs, and strung
up on a rope fastened to q ring in the
ceiling of the whaler. The rope was
drawn so taut that the weight of Castle
mans body was thrown upon his
shoulders and chest and he was able
to put only the tips of his toes upon
the floor. Then the men were taken
down and chained in a row to stanch-
ion, where they were kept all night.
Next morning Varnum triced up Cas-
tleman and companions again, at the
same time demanding that they con-
fess that they had conspired to disable
the engines of the whaler and desert
and that they had stolen deer meat out
OF the ships stores.
Captains up there" said Castleman,
ARE lords of all they survey and you
can't do anything against them. so I
signed confession in order to escape
further torture. Except that I stole
deer meat and some butter and eggs,
because of hunger, the confession was
false"
Castleman said that after the torture
the men endured they were taken to
the hatch and chained all together for
ffty-eight days, during which time
they were fed on four bareback bis
cults per day, with the exception of
twelve full meals at regular intervals,
for the whole period. After the thir-
tieth day of confinement in irons fresh
bread was substituted for the hard
tack. They had all the fresh water
that they could drink. For thirty days
they were not allowed to battle or
change their underwear.
On cross examination by Bert
counsel for the defendant,
Castleman admitted that he and the
others named had made three attempts
at desertion, but had been recaptured
and brought back to the ship. That
was before they were triced up and
ironed.
The examination will be resumed at
10 a. m. today

schmit.'s Letter to Ruef

In this weeks Town Talk there are
excerpts from a letter written by the
Mayor to his crafty boss. The letter
may be used in the trial OF the graft
ers for the purpose Of showing that
Schmitz intended that Ruef should han
die the sack. The Spectator tells OF
some exciting incidents of a banquet
IN which James D. Phelan and a. dis
cial Prattler reports that the exclu-
sives of Burlingame are sorely agitat-
ed over the prospective furnishing OF
some gilded escutcheons. As usual Town
Talk abounds in exclusive news OF gen.
eral interest relative to people in the
public eye. 1t is a faithful mirror of
current events and contains many spe-
cial articles of interest to thinking
people, and its short story is always
a fine sample of the art OF fiction
weaving.

FAVOR MANY SPUR
TRACK PERMITS

The Supervisors street committee
Yesterday considered the petitions of
the Southern Pacific Company for
permit to build a spur track on North
Point and Beach streets to connect the
belt line and the Preside reservation
and of the Santa Fe Company for per-
mission to lay a spur track from the
belt line along Beach street to point
between Hyde and Leavenworth, where
the Southern Pacific Companys pro-
posed spur line will rum
The committee ascertained that there
had been no objections filed against
the granting Of the permits. l. Jacobs
of the Potrero Manufacturers Asso-
citation and George Renner, manager
pressed themselves in favor OF the
spur tracks, as they are necessary to
transport material to the Presidio.
where the United States Government
will spend millions of dollars for
transport docks.
Jere Burke. attorney for the South
ern Pacific Company, stated that the
Government would not grant an ex-
elusive privilege for the laying Of
tracks in the reservation and any rail-
road company could use the tracks on
the city streets. The Southern Pacific
has already applied to the Government
for the privilege OF laying tracks in
the reservation.
While the committee did not take
formal action on the petitions, it was
intimated that a favorable recommen-
dalton thereon will be made to the
Board of Supervisors at next Mondays
meeting. Chairman Rea said he ia
vored the proposition, but desired to
safeguard the interests of competing
companies by stipulating that any
company could use the spur tracks and
also that the city. could acquire them
at any time it saw fit to do So
The committee reported in favor of
granting permits to the Santa Fe Com
pany for four spur tracks in the manu-
featuring district in the vicinity of
Rhode Island and Sixteenth streets, one
to the Real Estate and Development
Company on Wisconsin street, one to
the City Street Improvement Com
pany on Harrison street, opposite
Santa Clara. and one to the Southern
Pacific Company on Bluxome street,
between Fourth and Sixth.
The committee declined to grant the
request Of the Potrero Manufacturers
Association that section of the ordi-
nance regulating spur tracks, giving
companies the exclusive right to use
spur tracks on their own property, on
the ground that the Supervisors have
no control over private property.
The committee granted the City
Street Improvement Company an ex-
tension of ninety days to repave Mar

BAD QUARTERS FOR REFUGEES

DR.. Tilton Tillman. member of the
Board of Health, declares that the cubic
air ordinance is being violated by the
refugees living In the unorganized camp
at Seventeenth and Tennessee streets.
The law requires that room which is
twelve by twelve feet and six feet high
can harbor but two people, and at the
camp the houses are but twelve by
eight feet and six feet high, and that
$50 houses shelter $50 people. He will
call the attention of the board to the
conditions.
