POLICE CHIEF SUED
BY kL[INSCHMIDT
Student Arrested for Alleged
Murder of Frank Bellows
Asks S50,06O Damages

OAKLAND, April 24-Harry G.
Kleinschmidt, a University of Califor-
MIA student. whose arrest by the
Berkeley police for the alleged murder
OF Frank Bellows was followed by sem
sational revelations. and who was re-
leased after confinement in the county
jail when the grand jury refused to
indict him, has filed suit for $4,000
damages against Chief of Police Au-
gust Vollmer and Police officers Henry
E. Jameson, D. Herbert Fraser, Charles
Becker and A. s. ]. Woods of Berkeley
for alleged false imprisonment.
The complaint stated Bellows died
July 26, 1907, and that Vollmer caused
Kleinschmidt's arrest on November 20,
after which an investigation of the
case was instituted. Kleinschmidt al
legged that the proceedings were sham
and that the defendants encouraged
witnesses to make statements which
were injurious and detrimental to him,
while all others were discouraged. He
charged conspiracy against him and
said he had been treated in bar
barous and inhuman manner by the re-
peated accusations of the alleged crime
being made against him in a nagging
manner. He also said the officials
"gloated with malignant delight over
his discontinue and helplessness.' Dur
ing part of the time of his confinement
he was denied the privilege of COM
municating with his family or with
his attorney, according to the COM
plant.
DETAILS OF DEMANDS
The humiliation which kleinschmidt
underwent during his detention at the
Berkeley police station and later in
the county Jail, he alleged. was ex-
treme, and for this he asked $4,000
q AftnrnarsG other
expenses incidental to his defense
amounted to $4,000, and he included a
claim for $1,000 for the loss of years 5
time and credits as student at the
university The shame and ignominy
of having the case taken before the
grand jury and the general mortifica-
ton and injury to his material cir
cumstance and reputation brought the
total of his demand to $4,000.
Frank Bellows, aged 20 years, was a
friend of Kleinschmidt, and his body
was discovered in a vacant lot back
of the Kleinschmidt residence, in Clare
mont avenue, Berkeley, with an empty
poison vial in his hand, after he had
spent a part of the evening visiting 9
Kleinschmidt. A coroner's jury returned
a verdict of suicide. and dependency
been the motive.
LON EhS 0OAHhEL ALLEOED
After Kleinschmidt was arrested the
authorities gave out that investigation
convinced them that he had murdered
Bellows in a quarrel over a love affair.
Bellows was said to have succeeded
Kleinschmidt in the affections of Miss
Blanche Kerfoot of Sutter Creek, and
the purpose of his visit was said to
have been the securing of letters from
the girl which Kleinschmidt possessed
Habeas corpus proceedings were in
stituted to secure Kleinschmidt's re-
lease, when no formal charge was
made against him, but the district at
torney consented to his release when
the grand jury refused to return an
Indictment.

POSSIBILITIES JOHN A. JOHNSON

pie turned to him as deserving politl-
cal honors.
lie Enters Politics.
In 1898 he was elected state sena-
tor and again in 1900. In 1904 he was
elected governor by plurality of s.
600, while Roosevelt carried the
state by 10000. Two years later he
was reelected by $4,000, Among his
achievements as governor are cited
the increased assessed valuation OF
the U. S. Steel corporation in Mime
sofa, from $32,000,000 to 100000
600; a reduction of railway rates from
10 to 80 per cent; 2-cent passenger
rate; free state labor bureau, and
reformed system of taxation.
Johnson is not Society light
Both he and Mrs. Johnson long ago
made up their minds that there was
nothing much to be gained by drink
ing afternoon tea in unlimited guam
titles. Although they have met all
the social demands that go with the
gubernatorial office, they have stop
ped there. Mrs. Johnson is as much
of a reader and student as the gov.
ernor, and, when anything of moment
comes up, it is to his wife that he
turns FOR decisive counsel.
! No Limellght for Him.
Naturally modest and retiring,
/ Johnson continually objects to doing
the things his friends want him to do
b in order to bring him into the lime
light. When they suggest something
of theatrical nature, something that
looks like pandering for publicity,
Johnson Immediately takes to his
heels. His political managers tear
their hair, argue with him and beg,
but It is Of no avail.
For instance, the subject of his
making a speaking tour throughout
the country to show himself to the
people was brought up. His friends
thought it would be an excellent plan.
But right away the Johnson modesty
stepped in, and the plan was doomed
before It had been half outlined.
"I've been elected governor OF
Minnesota. I'm employed to work for
the people OF Minnesota, and here
stay" he said. And all that argu-
ment and pleading could get out OF
him were two speeches, one in Vir-
glnia and one in Alabama, and the
Alabama speech was made after the
people Of that state had refused to in
dorse him for the presidency
