MAGNEss W|LLBE-fREED
Arrested For Desertion From the U
S. Navy Soon After He Married
Miss Ada German.
(Herald Specially

Portsmouth, N H, July 16.-The
gates of the naval prison here will
be opened tomorrow morning for the
release of Charles Magness, who was
arrested for desertion from the navy
a few days after he married Miss Ada
German, daughter of the late Senator
Arthur P. German of Maryland. Mrs.
Magness has arrived here from Balti-
more and will be the first to greet
her husband when he is given his
freedom.
Magness enlisted in the marine
corps under the name of Charles J.
Hartlove and was assigned to the U.
S. S. Dolphin at the Washington navy
yard. According to the official rec
ords he deserted in July last and was
arrested at Louisville in October.
Much influence was brought to bear
upon the president and the secretary
of the navy to get the young man out
of trouble He was tried and convict
ed, however, and sentenced to be dis
honorably discharged and to be con-
fined at hard labor for one year. The
term of Imprisonment has been re-
duced to eight months by good be-
havior.

sion and came to Boston after having
been attacked in New York. After
coming to this city he served for a
number of years as court interpre-
ter and became well known.
The effort to save Wary Charles
from the death chair has been taken
up all over the country by members
of the Army and Navy Union, of
which Warren Charles, New York
policeman and son of the condemned
man, is a member. Several promi-
nent army officers also have taken a
lively interest in the cause of the
condemned man and they are also do
ing some work. General Felix Agnus
of Baltimore has taken an interest in
the case and he has written several
letters in behalf of the condemned
Chinaman. Warren Charles was a
member of New York regiment in
the Spanish-American war and many
of his comrades are assisting him in
his efforts to save his father. Among
those who have taken official action
in the matter are Major Charles F.
Roe garrison of Brooklyn and the
General Lawton garrison of Newburg,
N. Y.
The local authorities, notwithstand
ing the widespread movement start
ed in behalf of Charles, declare that
he is deserving of little sympathy. Ac-
cording to their belief he is one of
the most dangerous men in America
and was the brains of the conspiracy
which caused the murders in Oxford
place two years ago.

10 SAVE WARY CHARLES
From the Electric chair-Fund of
Nearly Ten Thousand Dollars
Has Been Raised.
Hersld Specially

Boston, Mass, July 16.-It was
learned today that a fund of nearly
$4,000 has been raised to carry the
case of Wary Charles, well known
Chinaman, to the United States SUI
preme court. Should the appeal to
the highest tribunal fail to bring
about new trial Charles, together
with four of his countrymen, will be
put to death in the electric chair in
Charlestown prison in October.
The murders for which the China
men have been sentenced were COM
mitted August 2, 1907. On the eve
ming of that date ten Cinnamon, arm
ed with large calibre revolvers, en-
tered Oxford place, one of the thor
oughfares of Boston's Chinatown, and
proceeded to shoot up the street,
stores and houses in the vicinity
Chin Mon Quin, Wong Shu Ching,
Chin Leet and Loe Kai Nom were
killed or died later from wounds re-
ceived at that time, and Coon Gong,
Joe Guey, Wong Duck, Wong How,
Dong Book Ling, Yeet Wat and others
were wounded.
Ten Cinnamon were arrested and
charged with the murders. The first
trial began on January 80, 1908, but
was discontinued after three days be-
cause of the illness of one of the jury
men. In the meantime one of the &C
cused Cinnamon had died and the
case of another was not pressed. The
second trial began on February 3,
1908, and lasted for twenty-nine days,
the jury returning verdict of guilty
in all cases.
Public interest centers almost Who'll
ly in the case of Wary Charles, who
is one of the most widely known
Cinnamon in America. For number
of years he has conducted large
laundry business in Boston, with
branches scattered throughout the
city. Charles came from the Hoy
Ping district in China with his uncle
at the age of eleven years, being in
the family of a merchant in China.
He lived for a time in New Orleans
and there came thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the English language. From
New Orleans he went to Omaha.
where he took his scanty earnings
and started, a lad of sixteen, in bust
ness for himself.
Ambitious to get ahead, intelligent,
active and sturdy, he sought an edu-
cation. While he was attending a
business college in Omaha he met
Nary Whiting, a young woman who
afterward became his wife and the
mother of his children.
In New York Charles was success
sivey an agent for the Santa Fe rail
road, dealer in stoves, laundry ma
chinery, hardware, and interpreter in
the court of general sessions, a floor
walker in a department store, and a
Chinese inspector under Secretary
Carlisle in the second Cleveland ad
ministration.
In New York he was arrested
charged with conspiracy to betray
government secrets, but was discharg
ed. He was then Chinese inspector,
but was suspended. He later worked
for the Lexow investigating commits

Sleuman Estate
Must Reimburse
the Hart Family
Ordered by Court to Pay $4,000 for
Eva's Property Sleuman De-
stroyed.

The estate OF Sewell Sleuman must pay
the estate of Eva Hart 1907. 80, according
to a decision by County Judge Leslie. The
property and nothing is allowed for the
death Of Eva Hart.
5ieuman killed the girl the night Of
October II, last year, and demolished
the furniture in the house, slashing
rugs, pictures and the girls wearing
apparel. Her diamonds which he also had
given her were torn from their settings
and mysteriously done away with.
Suit was brought by Edward E. Burns,
representing the Harris against George
Sleuman, executor OF his brothers estate.
The sum of 5000 was asked for the
death itself and $4.279.s5 for apparel and
furniture destroyed.
Judge Leslie held that the damage In the
death of the girl was abated by the death
of Sleuman himself. On furniture he al
lowed SAP, 10 per cent less than was
! asked, and on wearing apparel 81. PIP, so.
which is just half what was prayed for.
The diamonds were estimated by the petit
TONERS at 1885 and the court held there
was no depreciation here, though he
thought there was in the case of the fur
niture and wearing apparel.
The evidence shows said the court in
discussing his decision, that Sleuman had
given these things outright to the girl and
the transfer was actually made. Had
there been Just a promise 10 give them,
there could be no recovery on account OF
the admitted Illicit relations
