MRS. Il DOUX
. Bees FOR TINE
Lawyers Appear in Court
With Alleged Murderess
and Get Few Days Grace
INDICTMENT IS READ. I!.
Weman UIfmoyed as Clerk
Reads Document Acetis-
inc Her of Awful Crime

STOCKTON. April 3.-Mrs. Emma LIE
Doux, the little woman weighing 1O2
pounds who is indicted for the murder
of her former husband, A., NJ, McVicar,
weighing 1870. pounds, was today quletly
brought into the Superior Court TO nave
time set for her arraignment.
She seemed as cool and self-possessed as
the lawyers who accompanied her she
was apparently unmoved when the Indlct-
ment was read to her by the clerk. When
asked to make her plea of guilty or not
guilty her attorney asked for time to an.
swer the indictme mt, and the arraignment
was set for the 18th inst. Then the quiet
little woman was escorted back TO jail
without attracting much attention.
Not word mas been said by the woman
or her attorneys to indicate the nature or
the defense, but the general belief seems
to be that her story will be that McVicar
died by his own hand. perhaps by mis-
take in taking the drug to eounteraet the
effect of liquor, and to get out of the
trouble as best she could she tried to get
the remains to her home in AmadOr Coun-
ty for interment in the cheapest and least
bothersome way.
Anticipating such defense and believ-
ing that the prosecution has no positive
evidence against her save the circum-
stances surrounding the case, many per-
sons are saying that she can never be con-
victed.

Stockton Police Commission
er Will Resign to Become

STOCKTON, April 3.--Police Commis-
sioner George H. Campbell tonight re-
signed as a member Of. the Police Com
mission. He is the Republican member
of the board, the other two being Demo-
Gratis. Recently he bought a saloon for
its license and asked to remove it to
another section of the business quarter
Merchants and others objected to a sa-
loon there and a point was raised that the
city charter prohibits a city officer or
employe from holding any license. One
member of the City Council is a saloon-
keeper. Campbell withdrew his applica-
ton to change his saloon location, saying
he did not want to offend the citizens
who objected to a saloon in the business
section he had selected. Now he says he
will retire from Office so he can be free
to hold license. 1t is said that the
charter provision will be enforced with
regard to others in the city employ.
