This was not a fact, as far as the
lawyer knew. but Capuzzo swallowed
hard. The shrug of his shoulders then
was half an admission of guilt.
"A woman heard you in that room
when you murdered Sophie Koehrer
She heard you go out. She went to
the window. She saw that 1t was you
who left the house"
Capuzzo's delicate hands were furry
ing at his disordered hair. Suddenly
he said:
They going to kill me? Yes2 get
killed?"
Unless you tell me the truth-all the
truth, | think myself you do not de
serve death. think you have some
thing wrong in your head. Perhaps l
can tell the judge so, and perhaps he
will let you go to prison for life in
stead of having you killed in the big

ON LAUNCH
NARROWLY ESCAPES
Ten Are on Board When Little
Craft Crashes Into a Sub
merged Hulk

ALAMEDA, Oct. s.-Ten persons.
composing a launch party that went
out from here last night for a pleasure
cruise around the island, narrowly es-
capped drowning when their craft
crashed into a submerged hulk il the
estuary near Alameda point and was
only saved from going to the bottom
with its passengers because of the fact
that the launch ran upon the hulk in
such a manner that the submerged craft
held the pleasure boat fast. The launch
partially filled with water and went
down at the stern, forcing the passen-
gers to seek refuge in the forward
part, from which position they were
taken ashore in the tender of the
launch by J. R. Fulton.
The members of the wrecked pleasure
party were Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney Cooper,
Mr.. and Mrs. j. r. Fulton. Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Hunt, Mr.. and Mrs NJ A
Wa1kers Miss Essie Young and Ar
thur Barnhill. The launch is owned
by S. R. Cooper, Samuel Stevenson,
Arthur Barnhill and Charles Keith. The
little vessel is a new one and has not
as yet been christened.
The launch party left High street
with the intention of circumnavigating
the island.
1t struck something, that was not
visible. The collision stove in the for
ward part of the pleasure craft and
the water poured in rapidly All on
board thought that the launch was
doomed and that it would plunge to the
bottom. The women began to scream,
but the men kept their heads, and
when the launch continued to remain
stationary they assisted the women to
the forward part of the launch, where
all remained until they were landed in
a rowboat near Alameda point.
In speaking of the collision Mrs.
Cooper said: We were gliding along
in the estuary and were on our way
back to the place from which the
launch started when we ran into some
thing we could not see. The launch
raised up at the bow and the water
rushed in from hole that had been
knocked in through the side. There
was, Of course, much excitement on
board, and some of us got our feet wet
before we could make our way to the
front part of the launch, which was
considerably higher out of the water
than the stern. My husband and the
rest Of the men who were on board
were not in the least alarmed and we
were all taken off in safety. in a tender
that belonged to the lauch.'

SUES TO ELIMINATE
SECURITIES COMPANY
Henry j. Kennedy Would Re-
strain Receiver Mooser From
Paying Dividend

A suit designed to eliminate the Mar
ket street securities company from the
dealings between the depositors in the
insolvent Market street bank and the
receiver, l.. NJ Mooser, was filed yester-
day by Henry j. Kennedy. Mooser last
week petitioned the superior court for
permission to pay the depositors divi-
dend of 20 cents on the dollar Of their
claims. Kennedy states in his COM
plant filed yesterday that Mooser in
tends to pay to the securities company
the 20 per cent dividend upon claims
amounting to S655,794, which the COM
pany acquired after the bank failure by
trading bonds for pass books, He asks
the court to restrain Mooser from pay
ing any of "the pretended claims of the
Market street securities company" and
asks also that the court impound all
the pass books and other evidences of
Indebtedness now in the possession of
the securities company.
Kennedy, who holds claims against
the Market street bank amounting to
SAT ,239.37 asserts in his complaint that
the Market street securities company
agreed to liquidate all the indebted
ness of the Market street bank, but has
not yet done so. Kennedy is the de-
positor who started suit in the United
States circuit court to rescind the con-
tract between the bank and the securi-
ties company.

RESTAURATEUR DECLARES
WIFE JUMPED INTO BAY
Body Identified as That of Mrs.
Anna Best of San Franz
cisco

OAKLAND, Oct. Sc. Best, a former
restaurateur. living at lab Woodward
avenue, San Francisco, visited the Oak
land morgue today and identified the
woman's body found floating in the
bay yesterday afternoon as that of his
wife, Mrs. Anna Best.
Best said that he went to Elmi1urst
with his wife Tuesday morning to in
spect some property and to visit a sis
ter of Mrs. Best in East Oakland When
they returned to San Francisco in the
evening his wife was under the In
fluence of liquor and insisted upon re-
turning to Oakland to see her sister.
He bade her goodby and watched her
start back toward Oakland on the fer
ry, but heard nothing of her until he
read the account in The Call of the
finding of the body of a woman, whose
description tailed with that of his
wife. Best asserts that his wife has
been addicted to the liquor habit for
years, and he is convinced that she
threw herself over the rail of the ferry
boat.
According to L. L. Salisbury, a notary
at 968 Broadway, the Bests went before
him Tuesday to adjust propert- differ
ences, but no action was taken because
of Mrs. Best's condition.
