old wife of Harry Pollard. the matinee
dol Of the Mission theater. is locked in
a steei-bound cell ar the city prison on
q charge OF attempting to murder her
susbsnd Sunday night.
Although Pollard stoutly affirms that
the two shots were fired by himself,
and. despite the fact that his wife cor
roborates his story in every detail. the
police are convinced that the woman
was guilty OF an attempt on his life
and have brought charges to which
she must answer in court when the
case is called this morning. Suspicion
pointed strongly TO Mrs. Pollard from
the outset, bat she was held in detinue
until noon yesterday. when, after a
cross examination in the Office of Cap

who is a bride of one year.
From the position of the bullets in
Pollard's body, experts say the bullets
could not possibly have been fired by
the victim.
Mrs. L. Antrim, landlady of the
couple at 2s23 Mission street. was the
nearest TO being a witness to the affair.
Mrs. Antrim ran into the hallway off
the Pollard apartment when the first
shots rang out. She saw Pollard reel
from his room and sink to the floor of
the hallway. gasping She fixed me

A moment later Mrs. Pollard followed
him into the hall, and STOPPING down
over him said, You did it yourself.

AT the third or fourth repetition of
this remark Pollard answered weakly.
YES" This, coupled with the fact that
five bullets were fired, LED TO the fling
of the charges against the woman, de-
spite hers and her husbands denials.
Mrs. Pollard denies not only that she
shot her husband, but that she is jeal-

LOVER LURES GIRL
HERE AND ROBS HER
Pretty Young College Maid OF
St. Louis Victim of Per-
fidy of Fiance

Driven to desperation by the faith
lessness of her lover, Timothy L. Smith,
who after robbing her of money left
her stranded in a strange city without
funds or friends, Miss Ollie sutton. a
pretty college graduate and school
teacher from st. Louis, Mo-. appealed
to the police for aid last night
The girl, broken down by weeping
and the realization that she had been
made the victim of the despicable tricks
of a scoundrel. had scarce the strength
to give the police an account of her
misfortune. She had waited for the
man TO return for a day and a night,
and finally came to the conclusion that
she had been duped-
She was an orphan and had met
Smith while attending college at st.
Louis. On his advice she last year
gave up her position a school teacher
and went to Eureka, CAL, where he
was to follow and marry her. She
waited three months, supporting her
self by working as a waitress. He
finally told her to come to San Fran
cisco, which she did last Thursday.
He promised to marry her within a
few days and took charge of $3.50, all
the money she had, for safe keeping"
At o'clock Sunday night he left her,
saying he would return, but as he had
not done so late last night she
appealed to the police for help. The
girl does not know a single soul in
the city. and being without money has
no idea of how she Is going to tide over
her difficulties.

PASTOR k&RSOlt
IS GLAD TO CONE
Appreciates Opportunity
Offered Him By
SCudder

That Amosi Ebersole, who has been
called here as assistant pastor by
Doremus Scudder, is pleased with the
opportunity thus offered him Is shown
by the following article in the Ster!.
Ing (Ill.) Gazette of April 13:
Arson Thummel has received the
following letter from Amos Ebersole,
who for the last two years has been
studying theology at Oberlin, Ohio:
Oberlin, Wednesday. May 8.
The long looked for letter has come
ut last, and we are almost overwhelm
ed at the heartiness of the call Not
only do they offer more than expected
In salary. but add also our expenses
over. DR.. Scudder. the pastor, who
writes the letter, says that when they
received Professor Bosworth's letter
and others In my behalf. the trustees
met. and unanimously voted to extend
Mr.. Ebersole a call as assistant pastor
for two years, with expectation of
longer service is satisfactory to both
sides, at a salary of at least $500 per
year, payable monthly, one month va.
cation, and 5000 towards travelling ex.
penses from Ohio. DR.. Scudder writes,
Mrs. Scudder and are overjoyed. all
seems in answer to special prayer. He
said, answer In one word by cable
Accept. What could we do? The pro.
fessors here all agree 1t is a wonder
full opportunity. We have had just
one month to talk 1t over. 1t seems
just the work for which my seven
years OF Y. NJ. c. A. experience have
specially fitted me. Not another man
in the seminary has had such a prepa.
ration.
The church is the largest American
church on the islands. Honolulu Is
largely an American city. and the
home of the best people. 1t is a great
commercial center. and there are hun.
drads of young men who are here on
account of business openings, and n
work must be organized among them.
There Is a large Sunday school, 500
scholars. and they expect to enlargc.
the Sunday school plant so az to do
more effective work. Over that shall
have supervision. S,,- .--.-.-s--'-'-.--
Another feature that appeals to me
On the various islands are ninety Con
gregational churches and missions
some among the native Hawaiians. the
japanese, as well as American
churches. DR.. Scudder. as former s'i
perintendent OF. the Hawaiian Board
has supervision. and as his associate
will be brought into close touch with
all these agencies. A great education
As Honolulu Is at the cross roads
of the Pacific, We shall meet all the
great missionaries as they pass from
the Orient, as well as the world trav
elers who always stop. So you see the
position is unique, and we cannot turn
from this open door to which the LORD
has led us. II Is only ten days from
Chicago. DR.. ScudGer wishes us tC
sail In June. and after our commence
ment, we shall arrange to spend som'
time with our friends in Sterling.
