BIGAMY CONFESSED, BUT
MAN MAY BE RELEASED
Wives of Leroy Leggett Decide
Not to Prosecute

Leroy Leggett pleaded guilty of big
amy in Judge Dunne's court yesterday.
The district attorney will not oppose an
application for the admission of the
defendant to bail and it is believed
that this disposition of the case will be
made Saturday. Both his wives are
here, but neither wants to have him
punished Leggett left his legal wife
and child in Oregon and came here TO
secure employment On the train he
met and became infatuated with an
other woman whom he married under
the name of Stewart.
A curious feature of the occurrence Is
that Stewart is the mans real name.
He says he changed it to Leggett years
ago in Iowa because his friends used to
say:
sThere he goes Logging it." This was
in reference to halt he has in his gait:
Having lived here under the name OF
Stewart he now wants to go back to
that of Leggett.
Mrs Leggett, the lawful wife, is
anxious that he be not sent to jail be-
caues of the stigma that would be
placed upon their child. Mrs. Stewart, =
the second wife. has nothing but good
feeling for him and also wants him
liberated He has been in the county

REWARD
. FOR MANS CAPTURE
San Rafael Assault Case Still
One of Mystery, With
Nothing Accomplished

SAN RAFAEL, Feb. 10.-Indignation
still prevails in San. Rafael over the
assault on Miss Elizabeth Grapes Sat
urday. Contributions have swelled the
reward for the arrest and conviction
of the fiend to $1,000. The police are
without a clew and practically nothing
has been accomplished. The two de-
tectives imported from the city re-
turned to San Francisco today.
During the night young Portu-
guese was placed in detinue, but after
a short examination was allowed to
go.
The chief interest now centers
about John zaro, the Italian gardener,
who was arrested on suspicion by Po-
liceman Millar, acting under orders OF
S. M. Augustine, foreman of the grand
jury. Faro has been arrested twice.
After an examination by the district
attorney and sheriff the Italian was
allowed to go, only to be hailed up to
the county bastile by Policeman Millar
at the instance of Augustine.
Friends came to the accused Ital-
ians assistance this morning. Ac-
companied by her employer, Mrs Rob-
ert Menzies. Miss Frances Zaro, sis
ter of the man, visited the Jail. With
tear filled eyes the prisoner told his
story to the daughter in law of the
late Stewart Menzies. Shortly after
ward James Keyes, attorney, saw the
Italian, and is now working to secure
his liberty.
This afternoon Keyes was refused ad-
mittance to the jail to see his client by
Sheriff Taylor, who said that he was
only acting on the orders of the grand
jury foreman. Keyes demanded admit
same ground. Tomorrow morning ha-
beas corpus proceedings will be insti-
tuted to secure the liberty of Zaro.
Keyes, in speaking of the alleged il
legal action on the part of the sheriff
and Augustine, said: The defendant
had, at the time of his first arrest, eX-
planned where and who he was with at
the time of the assault on Miss Grapes.
His story was verified by the district
attorney and the sheriff. Regardless
of this, however, he is now ordered into
custody by the foreman of the grand
jury. l. as his counsel. have been de-
MED access to the Jail to see him, like

DANCE HALLS DECLARED
DEADFALLS FOR GIRLS
Secretary SkelIey Urges Mer-
chants to Help Check Spread

Charles f. Skelley, secretary of the
board of police commissioners, attended
the meeting of the Downtown associa-
tion at luncheon at the Hotel St.
Francis yesterday and urged upon the
merchants present the absolute neces-
sity of getting quick action in the
abolition of the five cent dance halls
in this city which have recently come
into existence.
Skelley assured the members that
these halls were the worst kind of
deadfalls. for young girls He said:
Unfortunately these nickel dance
halls do not come under the jurisdic-
ton of the police commission, and we
are powerless to prevent the spread
of these denS of vice. The board of
police commissioners has sent COM
munication to Mayor Taylor calling his
attention to the seriousness of their
existence. I call upon you merchants
here to see that some ordinance is
enacted to close these places immedi-
ately.
Little girls 15 and 16 years old
frequent these places, and often it leads
to their ruin. Only few days ago the
commission had occasion to revoke the
licenses of three resorts which sold
liquor to minors who had struck up
an acquaintance at one of these five
cent dance halls"
President A. G. Mccarthy of the
Downtown association appointed COM
mittee to get an expression from the
merchants in the retail district rela-
tive to the granting of a franchise
along Stockton street from Market
and through proposed tunnel to the
bay.
Nearly every member present ia
vored the proposed franchise if some
system other than the trolley be in
stalled. The association, however; re-
served It's approval until an investiga-
tion of the matter could be made.
