Joseph Hutchinson Tells Men
of League of the Republic
That Stand Is Wrong

BERKELEY, Jan. 2l.-Joseph Hutch
inson of San Francisco, a personal
friend and former political sponsor of
Justice Cooper OF the first district
court of appeals, has disclosed some
inside facts concerning the decision
which Justice Cooper wrote in the
Schmitz extortion case. At a meeting
last night of the league of the repub-
nc, an antigraft organization of the
University of California students, in
California hall on the campus, Hutch
inson was among the attorneys and
college men who discussed the schmitz
decision.
In the course of his remarks the San
franciscan read to the audience of
students a letter which he had re-
ceived from Justice Cooper, who de-
Tended the now notorious decision.
That message was the response to a
communication sent TO the appellate
Justice by Hutchinson for a personal
word concerning Cooper's reasons for
writing the decision.
The contents of the Cooper letter
were held secret by those who heard
it, but today, despite extraordinary
precautions, the fact that at the
meeting Hutchinson strongly ques-
toned the correctness Of the appellate
courts stand became public. Hutchin-
son said that nlanS Of his associates
in the legal profession in San Fran
cisco also differed from the decision of
the appellate court. Prof. George H.
Boke, member of the department of
Jurisprudence of the University of
California, declared that the decision
was. too hastily rendered and that
much more deliberation should have
been given the various points raised
He added that the law was too finely
drawn

Jerome, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw,

severe blows he has received since
his trial began. To the end the
wife of Harry X. Thaw fought
vainly for him and she used all
the resources of her agile mind IN
her effort to protect him.
Willingly she admitted her
own degradation and made every
sacrifice she was called upon TO
make From her unwilling lips,
however, Jerome succeeded in
dragging admissions.
When Jerome finished with the
witness and she left the court
room every vestige OF reputability

trial of her husband had disappeared

White against Thaw-
She had transferred her fancy from
one TO the other as suited her mood
and she did not mind from whom she
took money. Her story OF having been
drugged in Stanford Whites studio
seemed almost totally discredited by
her admissions. One thing, however,
the defense succeeded in establishing
and that was that she had told the
story to Thaw.
FACES JEROME FEARLEssLY
There was no trace OF fear in tbs
bearing of Thaw's wife as she faced
Jerome for the second day OF her cross
examination She maintained her self
control, although occasionally she
showed flashes OF anger.
Jerome's long and severe cross exam
ination of Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw at
the trial OF her husband came to an
end late today. The attorneys for the
defense succeeded in placing In evil

in the fall OF 1908 which completely
corroborated the claim that the girl

Friends Fail to Trace
Missing Student
c.S.Fornerook Disappears From
Stanford and Classmates
Try to Solve Mystery

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan. 21.-
Undergraduates are disturbed over the
disappearance of Clarence S. Fornerook,
bright student and one of the eligibles
for appointment to Rhodes scholar
Ship. He has not been seen or heard
OF for several weeks and his absence is
worrying his intimate acquaintances.
Fornerook was a resident of Enoina
hall dormitory. Friends who missed
the student, becoming anxious, wired
to his home in Los Angeles. They have
received word that he had not returned
home, as was the first supposition. and
now an investigation will be started
by his acquaintances to determine his
whereabouts
The general belief is that Fornerook
either has decided to quit college or
has disappeared as mysteriously as did
found dead in Felt lake as result of
a gunshot wound.
The missing student has relatives in
Los Angeles, where he is accustomed
to spend his holidays. but presents save
been received from them. showing that
he did not go there to spend his vaca-
ton. Fornerook did not funk" and
his name has not been struck from the
list of residents in the dornitory. It
is thought possible that the student
has gone to Detroit. where his father
lives. although prior to leaving college
for the Christmas vacation he told his
friends he intended to go to Los An

The above is the offieial announce
ment of the manner in which the state
machine head hunters dealt with War
den Yell OF the Folsom state prison 1t
was given out by the board Of state
prison directors after a secret session
at the ferry building yesterday w.
H Reilly, ex-sheriff of Ventura county,
will assume the duties of warden at
Folsom on February 10. The prison di-
rectors have SO decreed.
Despite Governor Gillett's alleged re-
luctance to part with the services of
one of his pet political aversions. a
hard hearted prison board declined yes
mistaken notions of a tender hearted
governor The board had permitted
Yell to remain in ONCE for seven weeks
after the expiration Of his term. That
period was seven weeks full of acute
suffering for Prison Directors Porter
and Devlin. During all those seven
weeks an official selected by Pardee
and wholly distasteful to the Herrin
Organization has drawn salary that
might have clinked into the pockets
of friend of the railroad The di-
rectors declared themselves yesterday.
Hurt as it might, the cruel blow was
struck.
SHOCK TO GILLETT
The dismissal of Yell undoubtedly will
prove a severe shock to Governor
Gillett. who has sworn and resworn to
punish Yell for his revolt against the
machine. But time heals the deepest
sorrows, and to soften the blow as
much as possible the prison board de-
liberated behind closed doors over the
execution of the machines sentence
imposed upon an official suspected OF
both competency and political inde-
pendence.
While the public may be justified in
its anticipation of warm interviews
betwesn the governor and his prison
directors as the result of their manip-
ulation Of the baldest kind of a polit.
ical pea and shell game, the warmth
of the interviews will probably be OF
a congratulatory nature 1t may be
safely assumed that no director viii
be removed for offensive partisanship
The removal of Yell and the election
of Reilly was the last move in one o,
the most obvious games of politica,
hide and seek over perpetrated upon q
long suffering public. The dismissa
of Yell was decided upon by Gillett
the day he was elected governor. He
had decided before that to be re-
venged If he ever got the chance, bu,
until after the votes were counted
Gillett was not more than half sure
that he would ever get an opportunity
to wreak his vengeance.
YELL SEES HIS FINISH
Yell received his appointment from
Pardee. He made good as warden al
Folsom and when Pardees ambitions
to succeed himself as governor ma.
tured Yell went out to campaign fol
the man TO whom he owed his s.job
When Gillett was nominated yell
probably realized that it was the be.
ginning of his end and the Folsom
prison became a Bell hotbed Gillett
gave it out that Yell would be made
to "squeaT' later on.
After Gillett's inauguration there
was a determined effort to save. Yell
