DOCTORSA
AFTER GIRLS DEATH
DR.. A. West and DR.. Winifred
Byrne Held for Investiga-
tion Into Operation
Eighteen Year Old Leora Hem
derson Dies After Stealing
Away From Home

DR.. A. West, who was arrested, tried
and acquitted about 15 years ago for
the sensational murder of Addie Gill
mour. a young girl, was arrested by
Detectives Regan and Bunner yester-
day afternoon on suspicion of having
performed fatal operation upon
Leora Henderson, an 1S year old girl
from Santa Rosa. DIR. Winifred Byrne
of Eddy and Franklin streets was also
arrested and Both their names were
registered on the detinue book at the
city prison pending further investi-.
cation.
It is the theory. of the police that
the young girl left her home in Santa
Rosa on October II, telling her parents
that she was going to visit friend in
San Rafael, but instead she came to
this city and went direct to the office
of Doctor West at 1115 McAllister
street, where the operation was per-
formed.
TELLS DIFFERENT STORY
At Doctor Vests request the girl
then went to the home of Doctor Wini-
and remained there till Wednesday
night, when she was taken to the St.
Thomas hospital and died there the
following, morning.
Doctor Byrne denied that she knew
anything about the girl other than the
mere fact that she rented one of her
rooms She made "a statement in
which she said that the girl never
complained about being i'll until last
Wednesday, when she said she was
suffering from pains in her side. Doc
tor Byrne said she advised her to go
home to her parents or to a hospital
and the girl said she would like to go
to st. Thomas hospital and wanted DIR.
s. g. Boyd to attend her.
Doctor Byrne communicated with the
hospital and when the ambulance came
at the request of the girl she wrote a
note expressing the girls desire to be
attended by Doctor Boyd. That was all
| she knew about the case. Doctor
Byrne said that when the girl en-
gagged the room the latter said she in
tended to remain until the fiesta was
over.
DR.. S. G. Boyd called at police head
quarters last night and quickly con-
WINGED Captain Anderson that he was
| in no way involved in the case. 1t was
proven that he had been requested by
Doctor West to attend the girl, bur
that she was dead before lie reached
the hospital
The dead girls father came to this
| city from Santa Rosa yesterday morn
| lib anu Cd1Cu dt pOiitO ilCnuQ udl tCt -
| He said his daughter had just recov-
cred from an attack of typhoid fever
and told him she was going to San Ra-
fael to recuperate. He did not know
/ of anA one in Santa Rosa in par
ticular who was keeping com
! pany with his daughter and was very
much surprised to learn that she haC
| been betrayed. He promised to assist
the police in discovering who was re-
| sponsible for her condition.
Doctor West denied to the police
| that he ever saw the girl.

WIFE SAYS GROCER
SUPPORTS AFFINITY
Thomas IL. Browne Resists Ap-
pIication for Dispositions
of Stenographer

That Alice Hagarty by her surrep-
titious departure from the state raised
presumption of the truth of the
charges of misconduct with Thomas H.
Browne, manager of wholesale
grocery house, was asserted in Judge
Mogan's court yesterday by Theodore
Roche. attorney for Mrs. Mary E.
Browne, in support of his motion that
the correspondents deposition be taken
on oral questions in Minneapolis.
Mrs. Browne in an affidavit charged
that since her answer to her husband s
suit for divorce, in which she charged
infidelity Browne had been sending
his former stenographer money. also
that Browne paid the girls travelling
expenses out of California.
Referring to the fact that she
slapped the face of Miss Hagarty in
the public street, Mrs Browne stated
that the girl admitted she had grown
fond of Browne and that he had
taken her to restaurants and resorts.
Browne filed an affidavit denying
that he had paid Miss Hagarty's trav-
cling or living expenses.
Attorney William Jordan argued
that If the court insisted upon an oral
examination Browne would be put to
the expense of going to- Minneapolis
to protect his good name. Judge Mogan
win decide the point next Friday.

aiinony payments He said he could
not do any better than $3.50 a week
to his former wife in a. lump sum to
enable her to leave the city.
Robert Campo, a stableman, told
Judge Cabaniss yesterday he had been
in "a states and he would go through
them all again rather than pay ALI
mony to Lena Campo, who is suing for
divorce. The judge reasoned with him
however, and Campo agreed to pay SIC

PAIN IN THE BACK
A symptom of Kidney Trouble Which

A pain in the back nearly always in

kidney or bladder trouble, and need
prompt attention. to avoid trouble of
more serious nature, possibly chronic
rheumatism, Bright's disease or dia-

whose function is TO remove poisonous

Los ANGELES ASKS
FOR VALLEY TRADE
Demand for Lower Rates to the
Cities in the Southern Part

The associated jobbers of Los An

terday with the state railroad commits

Los Angeles TO the advantage of San
Francisco in rates to points in the
lower San Joaquin valley. In short,
the petition sets forth in official form
the claim of Los Angeles that the San
JOAQUIN valley south of Fresno should
he included in its distributive territory
This trade has been San Francisco's for
several years. The merchants here
have already prepared to resist the oe-
mand from the south.
THE TERRITORY SOUGHT
The complaint is directed especially
against the rates maintained to the
following points: Coainga, Goshen,
Tulare, Oil City, dig, Fresno, Hanforo'
Exeter. Porterville, Bakersfield, McKit-
trick and Visalia. The rates to these
cities are less from San Francisco than
from Los Angeles. The differences ex-
tend from 16 to 3 cents per 100 pounds.
Although the objection to the schedule
is general. special complaint is made
against the rates on beer.
SEEK RICH TRADE
The merchants of Los Angeles have
for the last three years endeavored
10 acquire the trade of the lower San
Joaquin. After the big disaster here in
1906 San Francisco was unable tenn
porarily TO supply these communities
and they were forced for the time be-
ing to turn TO Los Angeles. Ever
since that time the southern whole
salers and jobbers have been urging
the railroads to rearrange their tariffs
10 the sections in dispute. The local
businessmen met their efforts more
than a. year ago by counter representa-
tions. The matter has now been taken
TO the commission.
