PARENTS OF CHILD
FREED IN Devil
CHASERS' Staying
Mrs. Bachman, Wife of Accused
Man, Also Released-All
Held as Witnesses.

EASToN. Pa, May A-Henry Smith
and his wife, parents Of Irene May
Smith, the little girl who was stran-
gled to death by Robert Bachman,
while in a religious frenzy at Nazareth
last Monday night, were today released
from the Northampton County prison
upon the order of Judge Scott, who
held there was no evidence to connect
them with the death of the child. Mrs.
Bachman also was released on the
same ground.
The writs OF habeas corpus granted
on Saturday were returned in court
today and after brief statements by
counsel for the prisoners the judge
made his ruling. The Smiths n Mrs.
Bachman were held in $4,000 bail, how
ever, TO appear as witnesses against
Bachman when he is called for trial.
Bachman's brother, a wealthy and
prominent cement manufacturer, is on
his way East from California. and it
is stated he will put up a strong fight
in defense of the prisoner, who, the dis
trict attorney declared, will be. indicted
and tried for the murder of the Smith
child. 1t is reported that the defense
will ask for a change of venue on the
ground that pubic sentiment in North
ampton County is SO strong against
Bachman that nc might not receive a
flair and impartial trial.

eral persons, a a narrow escape from
death while or the third floor of 124

was due to Driver William J.. Saupe,
of Truck 8. Earaher entered the house
by the e door to find all exists cut
off by smoke and fame. When he APP
peared at a front window and shouted
for a ladder Roundsman Meyerwitz
rushed to the truck, but Saupe, realiz-
ing that delay would be fatal, seized
the life net, and aided by others, held
it for Faraher, who jumped and
escaped with a slight injury to his left
leg.
Other policemen who figured in the
rescues were Roundsman Seipel, Po-
licemen Pasko. Mcguire, Schwerer.

IN ROARING GALE
WARSH|PS CRASH IN
MONTEREY HARB0R
Battleship Illinois Drags Anchor
and Bears Down on the
Alabama.

MONTEREY, Cal. May Ain a
whipping northwest gale that tossed
the giant battleships of the Pacific
fleet about like cocklesheIls. the Illinois
parted her anchor chain last night and
bore down upon the. Alabama, flagship
of Rear Admiral Sperry.
The imminence of a collision brought
every man jack aboard the helpless
Illinois. to the decks. The huge bat
tleship. lurching about in the tremen-
dous blow, plunged heavily through
giant combers head on for the Ala
bama.
Heroic work on the part Of the steers
man finally veered the warship a point
or two off its course toward the moored
flagship in the very nick of time.
As IT was the sharp prov of the I'LL
nois scraped the port side of her sister
and tore away the gangway.- The ILL
nois drifted fully 800 yards before her
emergency anchors, sent spinning
through the white-capped waters, final
ly held fast and she came to with a
jar that hurled her tars to the decks.
The winds continued today and the
Illinois made no attempt to regain her
position in the fourth division column.
AS early as 8 o'clock last night it was
announced that no more steam launches
would run from the ships. and sleeping
places for a thousand liberty mer
ashore had to be found.
Admiral Sperry's barge from the Ala
bama had a hole stove in her bows as
a result of a collision with the ships
gangway and was beached later in the
night. A schooner laden with lime also
went ashore, and a gasoline 3aunch
caught fire and. went to the bottom.

papers charging bigamy, and she must
appear this afternoon to answer to
them before the anne magistrate.
Gowned %stunningly and wearing a
huge Merry Widow" hat, young Mrs.

II find no evidence against Mrs.
LOCKER. The case is dismissed"
Mrs. LOCKER was arrested on COM
plant of her husband, who says that a

rum at Limerick. N. H. she married
a DR.. Lowe, Notwithstanding the fact
that she had been married for two
years to LOCKER. The husband charges
that there is an indictment against
her by a grand jury in New Hamp-
shire.

LOCKER, asked for a dismissal on the
ground of no evidence, but this was
opposed by James Robson, counsel
for LOCKER. Magistrate Dooley. how
ever, sided with Charlton, and then
Robson wanted a warrant for Mrs.
Lockers arrest on a charge of being a

Ton1bs Prison, New York. and nine or
ten other attaches and their chaplains
from the same prison. who had
boon summoned by TharS to testify as
to his behavior while in prison.
The proceedings. which began today
were based upon a writ of habeas cor
pns taken out at the instance of the
prisoner to procure his release from the
asylum. The writ was issued by Justice
Morsehauser in White Plains on April
%, on application of James G. Graham,
a Newburg attorney. 1t was made re-
turnabie before Justice Morschauser in
this city today.
q DIR. Baker, the acting superintendent
: of the Matteawan Asylum, was called
into conference, at the conclusion OF
which Mr. Graham formally filed his
writ and received from District Attor-
ney Mack his return to it. District
Attorney Mack then moved that the
proceedings be sent to New York
County.
Hearing VIII Cost 100000.
Mr.. Mack said he was informed that
it would cost Duchess County $4,000
to have the proceedings tried in
Duchess County. He thought 1T would
be bad for the taxpayers of Dutchess
County If the precedent were establish
ed that such cases must be tried here.
Mr.. Caravan said that the trial would
involve sending commissioners to Paris,
Monte Carlo and other places in Europe
to obtain evidence as to Thaws
sanity. He argued that the a should
be concluded under the jurisdiction
where it originated.
Mr.. Graham opposed the motion. He
commended the the proceedings shoulo
be tried under the statute in the JUDI
cial district where the habeas corpus
was made r~eturnable. He said that the
statement of most of the proceedings
had been exaggerated; hat the function
of the New York district attorney
ended with the murder trial. and that
the New York district attorney could
appear only by courtesy of the court
and the Duchess County district at
torney.
ITO spend 100000 would be a waste of
public money" he said. 1T can be en-
tirely regulated by the district attorney
Of Dutchess County. as he must audit
the bills. We strenuousiy object to
having the case transferred to New
York and our witnesses made subject

We understand that some OF the

severely criticise the Leader upon
its suggestion that each voter take
witness with him before the reg
istrar, and that he see for himself
that his name appears on the reg

We cannot understand why any
officer should object to the voters
seeing that their names appear
correctly. An honest man does not
object to being watched, and a dis
honest man needs to be looked aft
er. Our suggestion was not intend
ed as an insinuation against any
