mitted that he had left his wife, but
that it was at her request.

SURVIVES WICKED
ELECTRIC SHOCK.

OAKLAND, Aug. S1.-That John c.
Harding. laborer of the Southern Pa
cif1c Company. was shocked with $500
volts OF electricity today while tear
ing down old telephone wires there
seems to be no doubt, but the manner
in which the accident occurred is a
mystery to the attendants and internes
of the Receiving Hospital.
Harding was taken to the Receiving
Hospital, where he lay first uncon-
scious and later in comatose state
until he was finally sent to Fabiola
Hospital by railroad officials. He was
found writhing in pain near an electric
wire that had been strung over one of
the power cables at First and Myrtle
streets. Before relaxing into uncon-
sciousness he told John Wickizer that
he had caught q live wire and later he
said that he had been struck by the.
Induction. Wickizer took him to the
Receiving Hospital. but before he
reached there he had become uncop-
scious

resides at Niles. He has been employed

COOK IDENTIFIES
HIS AsSA|LANT

Policeman James c. Cook, who was
shot three times last Tuesday night by
one of four looters at the corner of
Seventh and Brannan streets, yester-
day partially identified John Dunni-
gan, who is under arrest, as one of
the men who assaulted him. While
the identification was not complete,
the wounded officer is morally certain
that Dunnigan was the man that fred
the three shots which entered his alb
domen and which will probably cost
him his lHfe
The other men nuder arrest, Samuel
Dunpfly. Charles Green and Joseph
McSwegen, were brought before Cook,
but he could not identify them Dun
nigan tried to prove an alibi, but was
unsuccessful. Acting Captain of De-
tectives Harper states that every
statement that Dunnigan has made as
to his whereabouts on the night of the
shooting and as to his residence has
been disproved.
There have been two arrests in con-
nection with the shooting of Cook
which may prove of the utmost impor-
tance. Israel Shenson and William
Colman, secondhand dealers at How
and and Fourth streets, are In custody,
accused of having received the stolen
goods from gang headed by Dun
nigan. More than 1000 pounds of
copper wire have been recovered from
the establshment of the arrested sec
ond-hand dealers. They may be able to
identify the assailants of Cook
Detective Stephen Bunner, who is
working on the case, believes that he
has at the present time a sufficient
number of circumstantial facts to con-
meet the four accused men with a Sc
ries of robberies and the attempted
murder of Policeman Cook
