PETER AND JOHN
MUST STAND TRIAL
Demurrer to Indictment of Clau-
danes Brothers Overruled
by Judge Ogden
Attorney Coghlan Pleads for Re-
ductiOn in Bail and Trial
Date Is Set

OAKLAND, Sept. S.-Has man
only the mental capacity of horse,
which is proverbially limited to think
ing about one thing at time? If a
man blows up a dwelling house with
dynamite, does the prosecuting attor-
ney-in order to legally present the
case to a jury-have to prove that the
man was thinking at separate times
about the destruction of the building,
the possible injury to its occupants
and terror that the explosion would
cause?
These considerations were suggested
in Judge Ogden's court today when
Attorney n. Coghlan argued to set
aside the indictments against John and
Peter Claudianes for blowing up the
Schenck house in East Oakland in an
alleged effort to do away with Big
Jim" Gallagher. Coghlan said that
indictments were not clear and def
mite in their wording. From their con-
struction, he asserted that the defend
ants were charged with two crimes
that of dynamiting a house and per-
forming the same act with intent to
injure or terrify the inmates. Coghlan
was sure that a man would have in
mind one or the other of these pur-
poses in placing dynamite under
house, but that he could not desire to
do both acts at the same time.
DEMURRER is OVERRULED
Coghlan had a ready simile of a
burglar entering a house to commit
grand larceny and arson, and tried to
show that if he did both he would
have two separate intentions, which
Coghlan considered impossible. If
such thing were possible. he thought
two charges should be made against
the accused.
I'D Iii /, ,cr
into the house was the unlawful act,
and that any consequences which fol-
lowed could be charged If the plac-
ing of dynamite under the Schenck
house damaged the house and terrified
or injured the inmates, both were re-
suits of the first criminal acts and
were properly in the indictments. The
demurrer to the indictments was then
overruled, and John and Peter entered
pleas of not guilty.
I'VE do not intend to invoke the aid
of any mere technicalities,'' said Cogh-
Ian, after he had finished his long
winded argument.
REDUCTION IN BAIL ASKED
Coghlan then discussed the advisa-
bility of reducing bail from $4,000 to
$4,000.
There is no possibility of these
boys getting out of jail with $4,000
required. Their uncle, Eustathiw, Of
Oroville, who is financing the defense
might be able to raise $40, 900, but
never could negotiate the larger sum-"
Coghlan laid great emphasis on the
uncle as the source of the defense
money
Dionysius Pauduveris, brother of the
missing Felix, and brother in law of
the prisoners, said recently that Eusta-
thiw owned small truck garden and
a couple of town lots.
District Attorney Brown and Cogh-
Ian agreed upon October 10 as the
date for the trials of the young
Greeks They will be tried separately,
but whether John or Peter will face a
jury first has not been decided upon.

HARRY THAW DANGEROUS
LUNATIC, SAYS WIFE
Evelyn Declares Bankruptcy
Proceedings Were Filed to
Stop Her Income

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-whatever
opinions physicians and alienists may
hold, Mrs. Evelyn Thaw believes that
Harry Thaw is a dangerous lunatic
and would not resume her former reIa-
tions with him under any considera-
tion should he regain his freedom. She
believes that he is now suffering from
one of his strange whims. by which he
hopes to cast her entirely adrift, with
out settlement or provision for her
support, and that the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings have the twofold object of
gaining his freedom and cutting off
all income from his wife. He seems
bent upon achieving the second object,
even should he fail in the first.

CHINESE ESCAPE :
FROM DETENTION SHED
Eleven CeIestials Held for De-
portation Saw Through Parti-
tion to Freedom

Eleven Chinese held for deportation
made their escape Sunday night from
the detention shed at the Pacific Mail
wharf by saving a hole through the
side of the building. Federal, police
and private detectives, immigration in
spectors and others are combing China
town for the missing celestia1s, with
little chance of finding them. Four of
the escapes should have sailed for
China yesterday on the liner Asia. The
seven others all claimed to be native
sons and their cases were under in
vestigation. Some of them had been
in the detention shed for more than q
month.
Uncle Sam will collect $500 from the
Pacific Mail company for each of the
missing Chinese.
