TRAGEDY ENDS CAREER
OF YOUNG PHYSICIAN
Body of DIR. Maurice Baum
Found in Hotel

The failure of DR.. Maurice L. Baum,
well known young physician, to ap-
pear at his offices in the Butler build
ing yesterday morning aroused the
apprehension of his professional asso-
ciates and search to locate him was
instituted. 1t came to a sad end late In
the afternoon when the body of the
physician was found in a room in the
Hotel Congress, Fillmore street. The
career of the young man, which had
promised brilliant achievements, had
been ended by death.
A bottle. which apparently had con-
tanned chloroform, was found with the
body. as was a note. The note gave
no indication of any motive the de-
ceased might have had for wishing to
close his life work.
Doctor Baum was a graduate of the
medical department of the University
of California, and had been until re-
Gently connected with the sanitation
campaign under DR.. Rupert Blue. He
was an active aid in the work accom-
plished by that corps The deceased
lived with his family at 279 First
avenue. He was well connected, popu-
lar and prosperous. and apparently had
every reason to live.
An autopsy will be necessary to de-
termine precisely the cause of Doctor
Baum'S death

BENSON GOES TO
JAIL FOR NIGHT
Takes Same Course as Durrant
and Collins to Postpone
Judgment
Will Enjoy Freedom While the
United States Supreme Court
Passes on Writ

After three years OF legal fighting
John A. Benson yesterday went to Jail
for one night. That he did so was due
to no fault of his. but to the slowness
of his attorneys. After 10 o'clock this
morning. when the United States cir
cult court convenes, ne will enjoy his
freedom again.
Benson took the same course yester-
day as did Theodore Durrant George
D. Collins and other noted criminals,
who managed to postpone the day of
retribution. When the United States
circuit court denied Benson's appeal to
the United States supreme court Mon
day and ordered him into custody, it
was presumed by those not so familiar
with the workings of the law, that
the associate of DR.. e. P. Perrin would
commence serving his sentence of one
year yesterday, but another loophole
was discovered through the combined
efforts Of Attorneys S. d. Wood, w. II.
Nelson and Judge Charles H. Fairall
They were a little slow or their client
might have escaped the one nights
Imprisonment.
MISTAKE IN FILING WRIT
1t was their intention to file in the
United States circuit court a writ of
habeas corpus, and when 1t was denied
to appeal to the United States supreme
court.
With this plan mapped out Woods.
Metson and Fairall made their way,
with their client, to the United States
court Judge Fairall, however, in a
moment of absent mindedness, filed the
petition in the district court instead
OF the circuit court. This mistake.
however, was not discovered until an
hour later, when the attorneys and
Benson appeared before District Judge
William c. Van Fleet in chambers and
explained what they proposede
AS court had adjourned nothing could
be done to remedy the error until 10
O'Clock this morning. but Judge Van
Fleet ordered that the writ should be
transferred to its proper place.
PRISONER TAKEN TO JAIL
Metson then urged that the man
date handed down from the court of
appeal dated August, 1907, was invalid.
he argued that, according to the man
GATE, Benson had already served the
one year sentence, as 1t was now July.
lSO9, but the court explained that the
actual serving of the sentence in any
conviction did not commence until the
prisoner was committed to Jail.
United States Marshal C. T. Elliott
was then asked to arrange for Ben
son to spend the night outside the
county jail. Elliott did n t take kindly
10 this suggestion. so. with Deputy
United States Marshal B. F. TowIe. he
started for Ingleside with his prisoner
at 4:30 o'clock
This morning Benson will be restored
TO liberty on bonds, awaiting the de-
clsion In the habeas corpus proceed
ings, but he spent one night in JAIL
