CASSELMAN CASE
AGAINCONTINUED
GIRL TOO ILL TO APPEAR IN
COURT
ATTORNEYS TO MOVE FOR A NEW
TRIAL
Lawyer Recently Engaged by Young
Woman's Relatives Asks Trial
Be Set Over for Two
Weeks

AS predicted in The Herald yester-
day morning, Miss Ruby Casselman,
convicted forger, about whom a web
of mysticism has been woven, did not
appear in the superior court for SEN
tence yesterday morning. She is i'll In
the woman's department of the county
jail-too i'll, it is said, to cross Temple
street to the courtroom.
Attorney Brown, who defended MISS
Casselman, appeared before Judge W.
P. James and declared his affidavits in
support of a motion for a new trial
were not prepared, and he asked for
time in which to prepare them.
I'VE believe this case should be
closed as soon as possible" said Dis
trict Attorney Fredericks.
Il will file the papers in few days.,
responded the attorney for Miss Cas-
selman.
At this juncture Attorney H. H. APP
pei, who has been retained in the case
to investigate the questions as to
whether the convicted girl is a thief,
kleptomaniac or under the power of So
called Spiritualist friends, rose to his
feet.
Investigating Case
II am investigating this case" said
Appel, ain an endeavor to get at the
facts. I am attempting to get into
communication with persons in the east
who knew the prisoner when she was
child. 1 want time to hear from DR..
Russell in New York and from the
Biggs family at Potsdam, N. Y, where
this woman lived when she was a child.
when 1 have finished I will make
report to the district attorney, and
would like continuance of more than
two weeks
1--WE don't like TO have these things
drag along" said Frederickson, omin-
ously.
st will promise you that, If 1 am not
given sufficient time, l will show rea-
sons to this court that will give me the
time I need" answered Appel
There was short argument between
the two attorneys and then it was
agreed to continue the case to Satur-
day, May 3d. at 10 a. m, at which time
If more delay is needed in investigat-
ing this peculiar case II probably will
be granted by the Judge.

HAS STEPSON ARRESTED
ON CHARGE OF BATTERY
Tailor Alleges Young Man Threw a
Bucket of Soapsuds on Him.
Sues Wife For
Divorce

Quite Unexpectedly and apparently
without provocation, Henry p. Bryan,
lis North Workman street, while calm
ly seated in his stepson's tailor shop,
was deluged by bucket of dirty water
poured over him, he alleges, by George
Gross. In the complaint to which
Bryan swore yesterday Gross was
charged with battery.
The bucket of suds is but the intro
duction to a somewhat intricate matri-
monial tangle. Fred Gross conducts u
tailor shop on Hill street. between
Seventh and Eighth streets. His brother
George works for him, and at the time
of the incident on which the battery
charge is based was engaged in scrub
bling the floor.
In October, 1907, Bryan married the
mother of the Gross brothers. He is
now sueing her on the ground that
when he married her she had a hus-
bnad, one John w. Hart, living, from
whom she had never been divorced.
She has filed counter charge asking
for an annulment of Bryan's suit and
also asking for alimony. Bryan says
she is after his money.
With all this ranking in his mind,
George Gross, Bryan alleges, without
so much as a "How dye do?" emptied
the contents of the bucket of suapsuds
over the unsuspecting form of his step
father.

AGED PRISON SUPERINTENDENT
WRITES COL. G. j. GRIFFITH

Colonel G. ]. Griffith, who recently
sent a copy of his lecture on Crime
Punishment and Reform" to various
editors and office holders throughout
the state and elsewhere. has received
a letter from z. r. Brockway, who for
over twenty-five years was superin-
tendent of the oldest reformatory in
the world at Elmira. Mr. Brockway in
his letter to Colonel Griffith says:
after elaboration about your sug-
gestion that this fall l go to Califor
mia TO aid in the prison reforms you
are so ably advocating, I feel it would
be scarcely advisable for me to make
such a change in my environment and
personal habits as is involved. l am
81 years old, in good health and, so
far as I myself can observe, with un-
impaired mental powers. Yet l hold
that a man of such age ought not, ex-
cept in direst necessity, incur the risk
of any radical changes in his way of
living"

BARON H. LONG ARRESTED BY
MARSHAL
Secretary of Jeffries Athletic Club Is
Wanted in New York City on
Charge of Uslns Malls
to Defraud

Wanted at New York city by the fed
mails to defraud, Baron H. Long, Sec
rotary of the Jeffries. Athletic club

United States Deputy Marshal Bert
Franklin.
Gordon E. Riggin was arrested also
at the same time.

ter being arraigned before United
States Commissioner Charles N. Will
liams, at the Tajo building, the date
for their preliminary hearing being set
for May 10.
James Morley and Frank Goings fur
nished bail for the prisoners.
In the complaint 1t is alleged that
Long, Riggin and Edward Madden and
others used the United States mail to
defraud at New York in September.
1906.
The complaint cites the facts as fol-
lows:
The accused would ask the public
to submit song-poems to Madden for
examination, and after this was done
Maiden would say, it is alleged, that
the poem was good, and that If given
a proper musical setting it would
-
New York city. For $40 he promised to
set it to music"
Long Denies Fraud
Long declares that it will take but
few days for him to straighten out
matters after he reaches New York
city. He is sorry that Riggin is con-
nected with the affair." since he says
that the latter was sort of secretary
for the Madden Music company, made
up of Madden and Long, and had no
official connection with the firm what
ever.
Long expects to go to New York city
otter the Brock Welsh bout on Decora-
ton day at Los Angeles.
He says that the present trouble has
arisen through some delinquency in the
malls, admitting that Madden and he
set music to words for SO in each case
but declaring that he can show slips
from the women interested In these
transactions, proving that everything
was satisfactory to them, as far as the
music is concerned, and that hence no
fraud or intention of fraud exists at all.

PHONE co MPANY
FIGHTS MANDAMUES
(From Saturdays Daily.)

(From Saturdays .Dally,)
The second chapter in what is al
ready Il hard fought case is bolng
worked out today in the trial before
Judge Browning OF the district court
OF the mandamus proceedings
brought against the Num- Telephone
company by II. II. Cooper to compel
that company to give him telephone
service at the rate OF 80 per month.
Last week, 1t will be remembered
the case first came into court by the
suit of H. II, Cooper in the justice
court against the company for $3.50
accrued excess which he had paid the
company for the use OF the desk
phone in his office over the SO a
month stipulated in the company's
original franchise. In this suit the
plaintiff was successful and judg-
ment was returned against the tele-
phone company. AS the suit is test
case, the company refused to allow
the matter to stop with this judg-
ment and accordingly filed motion
for new trial This Justice Holman
overrued and the company will now
appeal the case to district court.
In the meantime Cooper refuses to
pay more than SO a month for his
his desk phone and the company has
accordingly cut his phone out OF SER
vice To force the company to give
him service at that rate he has
brought mandamus proceedings
which are being heard today, with
himself and Attorney Stanford as his
attorney, and with Reeder, Graham
& Williams representing the defend
ant company.
In support OF its claim of right to
charge more than the SO stipulated
in the original franchise as the price
for a business phone, the company
maintains that the condition in the
franchise contemplated only a wall
phone, which style Of instrument the
company has always and does now
charge for at the rate OF SO per
month for business houses, but for
the desk phone, which makes neces-
sary the use OF a special type Of in
strument not contemplated by the Or
dinance and more expensive both to
install and to keep up than the wall
phone, the company makes a small
additional charge. 1t further main
tains that the council had no right at
the time the franchise was granted
to fix charges and that the franchise
is accordingly binding on the COM
pany in those conditions.
