ALLEGED POIS0nER
RELEASED BY POLICE

Pallegro Pippi, the young Ital-
ian arrested Saturday afternoon
on the suspicion that he might
have been the man who attacked
Miss Frieda Kourtcamp in the
latter's room at the Rainier hotel
Friday night, was released yester-
day by the police for lack of evil
dence. The young woman's story
about being poisoned is today dis
credited by the police. The room
in which the assault is alleged to
have taken place was badly dis
arranged and a vicious encounter
had evidently taken place there.
No evidence has been adduced
to show that Miss Kourtcamp's
assailant injected poison behind
her ear. Physicians summoned in
the case said there were no marks
to show that an injection had
been made. The young woman
was reported today as having re-
covered from the shock.

DENTIST MUST
STAND TRIAL

Bearing extradition papers for
DR.. H. c. McClelland, the dentist
who was arrested last Wednes-
day by the police on advices from
Ohio, Sheriff Thomas G. Teal, of
Batavia, O., arrived In Tacoma
yesterday and proceeded to Olym-
pia this morning to have his pa
pers honored by Acting Governor
Hay. He will return to the city
tonight, and proceed to take his
prisoner to Ohio, where he will be
tried for wife and child desertion.
According to Sheriff Teal, DR..
McClelland has a wife and two
children living in Batavia, whom
he deserted several years ago.
The sheriff expressed doubts that
the dentist had ever secured a di-
vorce, although he admitted that
such a thing could have occurred
in a remote state without the wife
knowing of it.
McClelland, who has lived in
Tacoma several months with Mrs.
McClelland No. Q, claims that ne
has secured legal separation
from his first wife, and that the
difficulties now thrust upon him
are brought about by his frs.
wife's relatives. He has made no
objection to going back To Ohio,
and even stated that he would
return there without the neces-
sary extradition papers.
