Because the 80 foot fagpole on the
chocolate factory in North Point street
fell and fatally injured Joseph S. Nc
CHM, who was walking along the
sidewalk, Mary S. McGinn, his widow,
demands 100000 damages from the D.
Ghirardelli company, owner of the fac
tory. Suit for the amount was begun
yesterday in the superior court. The
accident occurred November 80, 1906,
and McGinn died three days later. His
widow accuses the Ghirardelli COM
pany of negligence in failing to re-
place the hagpole or take it down when
age had rotted it's base.
Henry n. Diehl began suit against
the Swett-Davenport lumber company
for $4,000 damages yesterday. While
employed in the defendants mill on
May last Diehl fell against the knives
of a planning machine which he was
operating and lost his right arm. The
accident, he alleges, was due to the
removal of a board from the platform
on which he had to stand when gauging
the machine. He stepped into the hole
in the platform and in his fall was
hurled against the knives. According
to his complaint he had called the at
tention of Albert Vetterauf, superin-
tendent of the mill, to the need of re-
placing the board. but nothing was
done. Diehl is 26 years old.

TH|ELE MURDER CHARGE
DISMISSED BY WELLER
Judge Holds That Plea of
Self-Defense Is Not
Controverted

The charge of murder against Ernest
r. Thiele was dismissed by Police
Judge Weller yesterday. Thiele was
arrested on May for shooting and kill
ing H. B. Kassenbrock in the basement
of a grocery at Sutter and Baker
streets. He pleaded self defense, al
leging that prior to the shooting Kas-
senbrock had said. Nov, I will fix
you" and made a slash at him with a
razor.
The grocery had been owned by Kas-
senbrock, who sold out to t. McGrady.
Thiele was installed as manager of the
store and he found that Kassenbrock
had misrepresented the condition of af-
fairs to McGrady and that numerous
bills were unpaid at the time of the
transfer This led to bad feeling be-
tween Kassenbrock and Thiele. On May
May 7, while Thiele was alone in the
cellar packing some articles for ship
ment, Kassenbrock attacked him.
Assistant District Attorney Ward
agreed that the evidence was INSULT
cient to convict. The Judge said that
the evidence both for the people and
the defense clearly showed that the
shooting was done in self defense.
Thiele was represented by Attorney
Carl Lindsay.
