PRISONERS PROVE
TO BE HIGHWAYMEN
Victims Identity John Dever and
William j. Cooney as
HOldup Men
Police Believe They Have Men
Wanted for Other Big
R0bberies

Two prisoners at the city prison
men by their victims. One of them,
John Dever. marine engineer. has not
yet been charged. but the other, VIII
liam ]. Cooney. was booked on a charge
Of robbery on a warrant sworn TO be-
fore Police Judge Conlan.
John Dever was identified by John
Caulheld, saloon keeper, Twenty-n ninth
street and Tiffany avenue. About two
weeks ago Dever and a companion en-
tered the saloon and asked for a drink.
While Caulheld was drawing the beer
Dever walked behind the bar to the
cash register, and Caulaeld grabbed
hold of him. Caulield was beaten
over the head with the butt ends of re-
volyers by Dever and his companion
till he was almost unconscious. The
thugs took SAT from the cash register
and ran away.
Dever has bad record and there is
a suspicion that he had something to
DO with the robbery OF s5o,000 worth
OF jewelry at the store of T. Lundy,
744 Market street. on April 10. He is
being held pending further develop
ments. Shortly before the Lundy rob-
berry he was arrested by Policeman j.

marine engineer, at Washington and
Stockton streets of $55 and badly beat
ing him. Martin left the city and
the charge against Dever had to be
dismissed.

Dorgan, 416 Laguna street Dorgan
was in f. Hildebrand's saloon, Fell
and Laguna streets, on the early morn
ing of July IA, when two masked foot
pads entered with drawn revolvers.
They took what coin Dorgan, Hide
brand and another customer had in
their pockets and rif1ed the cash regis
ter, getting all together about 500.
Last Wednesday night Cooney en-
tered the saloon of Chris c.. Hashagen,
Twenty y-f1rst and Florida streets, and
ordered Hashagen and Matthew ].
Gould, q customer to hold up their
hands. Gould grappled with him and
during the struggle discharged the re-
volver, the bullet striking Gould in the
elbow. Policemen Skelly and Powell
heard the shot and arrested Cooney on
a charge of assault to rob. He is
waiting his preliminary examination on
that charge.

BERNARDO SHORB
SUED FOR DIVORCE
Wife Charges WiIIfuI Neglect
and Failure to Provide
in Complaint
BOyish Society Benedick Is
Not Asked to Pay
AIimOny

Displaying rare gen%falship, Mrs.
Elizabeth Z. Shorb. wife of Bernardo
Y. Shorb. the boyish society benedick.
the imminent legal battle with her
husband by bringing suit for divorce
in the superior court yesterday. alleg-
ing willful neglect. through failure to
provide, and desertion. While Mrs.
Shorb has contemplated such action for
some time the suit was hastened by the
report in last Sundays Call that young
Sborb intended picturesquely to sue
his father in law, James Sheehan, the
New York contractor, for $4,000 dam
ages for the alienation of his wife's
affections.
DOES NOT WANT ALIMoNY
The Shorbs were married with much
aclat at st. Mary's cathedral July 2.
1907. but their honeymoon was shorter
that the almanac provides. lasting but
% days. July 25. 1907, Mrs. Shorb re-
packed her trousseau and returned to
her fathers house. Now she would
be rid of all the suggestions OF her
marital experience. for in the divorce
complaint, which was filed by her at
tOrneys, Lent & Humphries, she makes
no demand for alimony and asks that
she be permitted to resume her maiden
name Of Elizabeth Sheehan.
The divorce complaint is a cautious
document. On the failure to provide
clause il is guaranteed to catch young
Shorb two ways, for ii carefully states
on information and belief that the
defendant, Shorb, has refused to sup
port his wife though able to do so,
and then it alleges that the neglect
was committed because, through idle
ness. young Shorb had no means of
supporting his wife. Moreover it is
charged that the husband deserted his
wife by not providing for her a means
and mode of living.
HUSBAND WOULDN'T WORK
1t appears that Shorb would not
chase a job nor take one when it was
offered him, but he is said to have
regaled his wife with tales of an in
heritance that some day would be his.
The trouble in the Shorb household
started almost simultaneously with
the wedding chimes. On the honey
moon the young bridegroom got into
difficulties over an autoplobile which
he Professionally purchased, it was
charged. on the account of the brides
father. The car was taken from the
bridal party, and the father did not
redeem il.
Bernardo Shorb is a brother Of Mrs.
Inez Shorb White Buck, wife OF Cap
tain Buck of the United States army
medical department, stationed in Ma
Mia. Through his family connections
he is known in society. Mrs Shorb is
the daughter Of James Sheehan a
wealthy New York contractor, who
came west to take part in the rebuild
ing OF San Francisco. At present she
is living with her sister.

AFFAIRS OF BANKER
DORR NOT UNTANGLED
Coup in American SmeIter Fol-
lowed by Unfortunate
Speculation

Among the stock brokers there was
talk yesterday that the affairs of Fred
Dorr. the broker who closed his office
early in the week. have not yet been
untangled and heavy losses were feared
by some Of his clients. while others
were apparently calm under DORIS as
surances that he would meet all his
obligations. Dorr is reported to have
made a big coup for himself and his
clients recently in a deal in American
smelter, which he sold at 80 just as
the market broke and dropped to so.
That success is said to- have led the
broker into other speculations which
Dorr is now in Denver. His heaviest
western dealings are said to have been
with Los Angeles investors. No one
