PRISONER SET FREE, BUT
is HELD ON FRESH CHARGE
Howard X. Glover Must Answer for
Impersonating United States
Naval Officer In San
Francisco

Because of the failure of the prose-
cutting witness to appear the charge of
impersonating a United States naval
officer that had been lodged against
Howard K. Clover was dismissed In
the federal court yesterday and he was
rearrested on a similar charge. He
will appear before Commissioner Will
liams for hearing July 80. Clover fur
nished a bond in the sum OF $25O0 ana
was released.
The old charge against Glover was
that he impersonated United States
naval officer for the purpose Of de-
frauding a nEnglishman of $4,000, but
this was dismissed because the man
whom he is alleged to have attempted
to defraud is in England and could not
be induced to come back to testify.
The second charge against Glover
was that he impersonated a United
States naval officer in San Francisco,
April, 1907, thereby securing a small
quantity of mechanical tools from a
firm in that city.

was stolen from her home at 275 East

a prominent society woman of Pasade-
ma, appeared in Judge James depart

Fred Hammill, who was accused Of
taking the money, and who was dis
