OFFICERS SEARCH
ON VAGUE CLEWS
MURDERER OF ANNA P0LTERA
STILL AT LARGE
Sheriff Returns from Riverside and
Says the Investigation Will Be
Continued Without Diminu-
tion of Zeal

Although the search for the mur-
derer of Anna Poltera was continued
yesterday, no developments were re-
ported at Sheriff Hammels office. The
sheriff was about early. after his hur-
ried trip of the night before to River
side, where he was disappointed in
finding that the arrested suspect was
none other than the Mexican who had
been previously examined and released.
Il hope now" said the sheriff, that
the Mexican will be placed in an insane
asylum, where he belongs, in order that
we will not have to go on any more
wild goose chases on his account"
There are still several cleWs under
investigation, none of which, however
appears promising. That the detectives
who are working on the case are at a
standstill and uncertain as to the next
move is admitted. The investigation
will be continued, however, with as
much zeal as ever, and each clew will
be followed.

can, was struck on the head with a
shovel and a pitchfork was thrust
through his left leg, near the groin.
Ramirez, who is employed by a grad
ing company. was at work when the
negro claimed shovel which the Mix
lean was using. The negro had pitch
fork in his hand when the fight began
and gave the Mexican a jab in the leg.
He then picked up the shovel and be-
labored the Mexican on the head un-
til other workmen interfered. The ne
gro made his escape and Ramirez was
taken to the receiving hospital The
wounds are not serious.

lives have been made entirely by her
every article she possesses, with the eX-
ception of the piano, having been
packed by her from Monrovia or Sierra
Madre, a distance of several miles. In
the rainy season when the river rises
slight trail on the side of the cliff, hlgh
above the torrent, is her only means OF
reaching civilization.
Her only companion is a cat. When
questioned as to the isolation of her
cabin, she replied: Were it farther re-
moved 1 should like it better. am

society. Why" she continued, lin such
a place as this one Is actually compelled

IT am here" she said, ''to study and
be alone. In time 1 hope to make my
self equal in knowledge and purity to
Christ. I feel at times, especially aftel
long fast, that 1 have nearly accom-
plished my purpose. The master minds
all corroborate that which 1 already

When questioned as to how she man

and the birds, so will he care for me.

trout in the canyon and deer at present

hearing had developed new features
which were not previously known, and
urged that the bail of the prisoner be
increase to $4,000. Attorney Davis was
on his feet in an instant and declared
the demand for increased bail was an
outrage and urged the court to dlsre-
gard it, but was not successful.
At the conclusion of the hearing Mr..
Wolfe, father of the girl, said:
Il guess the little girl can now go to
school as long as the wretch who mis-
treated her is safely behind the bars.
Since the day of the attack Ethel has
been a nervous wreck. She would not
go to school nor go out on the streets
alone because of the dread that she
might meet Markham. We would have
to close and lock her bedroom windows
each night before she could go to sleep.
She talked continually about the man,
and for a while we feared that she
would be seriously i'll. I am glad that
the law has taken its course, and it
shows that money is not all-powerful." !"

delssohn, Tannhauser and Wagner.
She speaks excellent English, quoting
occasionally from Shakespeare, Carlyle
and Emerson. She says she can read
Latin and French, and announces her
intention of mastering all the Euro
pean tongues. She sleeps on the
ground and in rainy weather stretches
a piece of canvas between a few up
right poles.
Has Romantic Career
OF her past life she will talk but
little; that, however which is known
reads like a chapter from Jules Verne.
The hermit was. according to her story,
born in Montreal, Canada, and edu-
Gated in a French convent. Later she
made her home in New York city, and
in 1898 won a prize offered by a New
York paper for the most attractive and
serviceable costume for the woman BIZ
cyclist.
Mounted on a bicycle imported from
England at a cost of nearly 5000, she
rode down Fifth avenue, followed by a
cheering crowd. She drifted from one
section of the country to the other,
after having disposed of the family
estate in Connecticut. A few years
later found her in Nome, Alaska, where
she made a strike, accommodating at the
time a fortune. She passed five years
in Nome and two years in the Yukon
country, and it was while in Alaska
that she gained intimate knowledge of
the Esquimaux, being called by them
Angel"
The hermit announces her intention
of leaving Big Santa Anita canyon for
Nome, to pass about two years trading
with the Indians and Esquimaux. Her
ambition while there is to procure a
costume made entirely of ermine fur,
I.sa I Il.
several boxes of trinkets to trade with
the Indians. She will probably leave
during the coming week, walking the
greater Fart of the way.
On returning from the north it is
her intention to build a log cabin in
the pine forests about twenty miles
from Duluth. Mich Her manner of
living will be the same, with the ex-
ception that she will be further re-
moved from civilization. She will
take with her an Esquimau boy and
a team of dogs.

Mother Tells of Girls Return Home
After Crime She Said Was
Committed at Elysian
Park

"It is unfortunate that the law is
such that a heinous crime like that
committed by the defendant is bail
ableSoffense. If l had my way in the
matter the prisoner would be held in
Jail without bail. The sacredness of
the home must be protected. 1 will
increase the bail from $4,000 to s5000"
These were the words Of Police JUS
tice Frederickson when he bound b.
H. Markham to the superior court,
probable cause having been found in
the case of assault with criminal intent,
which was concluded yesterday MORN
ing.
Markham is charged with assault on
Ethel Wolfe, 11-year-old daughter of
S. B. Wolfe. The preliminary hearing
began in Justice Frederickson's court
May 27. The hearing occupied Thurs
day afternoon, all day Friday, and was
concluded after a brief session yester-
day morning.
LeCompte Davis attorney for Mark
ham, made a strenuous protest against
increasing the bail on which the de-
fendant had been allowed his freedom
since his arrest Easter Sunday but on
motion oc Harry B. Alexander, deputy
district attorney, the bal was in
creased after Justice Frederickson had
expressed regret that he could not send
the defendant to Jail without bail.
Markham was unable to furnish the
bond yesterday and was lodged in the
city jail.
Legal Aid Society Wins
"A triumph of right and justice" was
the remark of Mrs. Leland Norton, su-
perintendent of the Legal Aid society,
which organization, through it's attor-
ney, H. II. Appel, has assisted in the
prosecution of the case. The Legal Aid
society took charge of the case, after
the preliminary hearing had been post
poned five times. on request of Attor-
ney Davis. The speedy elimination and
the result of the hearing was a source
of qualification to the officers of the
society.
Mrs. Wolfe, moth, of the child that
Markham is charged with having mis-
treated, was the first witness yesterday
morning. The injunction that no spec
tators be allowed in the court room
was enforced.
Mrs. Wolfe told of the condition of
her child after the experience with
Markham in Elysian park. She testi-
fed that the girl Was in a state of
h. steria and has been in a nervous
condition ever since. Detective Zeig-
Ter, who arrested Markham, followed
and related the admission of guilt
made by Markham the night of his
arrest. The prosecution closed its case
and the defense offered no testimony.

dismissed.

Arrangement of Marital Differ
ences and Has the Case
Continued

The third farcical play of Reed
Against Reed" with the divorce court
as a stage setting, practically ended
yesterday when Mrs. Lillian NJ. Reed, a
society woman of Hollywood, walked
into the court room, leaning aftecuon-
ately on the arm of her husband, How
ard S. Reed, banker and landowner,
and announced, through Reeds attor-
ney, w. L. Deering, that the divorce
action instituted by her little more
than a fortnight ago might be dis
missed.
But the request came too late, for
Mrs. Clara Shortridge Foltz, attorney
for Mrs Reed, had preceded the re-
united couple and secured continu-
ance of the hearing on that part OIL tne .9
proceedings set for yesterday until
next Friday. Mrs. Foltz also hled a
statement of facts signed by Mrs. Reed
several days ago, in response to Reed'
affidavit of last Friday, in which he
stated that if outside influences were
not brought to bear upon ms Wlte thelr
domestic relations would be happier.
Mrs. Reed, in her answering affidavit,
stated that two former divorce suits
were dismissed only after her husband
had promised to treat her with con
iugal kindness and proper consldera- :
ton" promises, she averred, which
were broken.
A moment after Mrs. Foltz leIt lne
court room the Reeds, accompanied by
Attorney Deering, entered.
Reconciliation Announced
'I represent Mr.. Reed announced
Mr.. Deering, when an opportunity
was given him to address Judge James.
"a reconciliation has been erected, ana
we would like to have the matter dis

A hurry call was sent out for Mrs.
Foltz. and while awaiting her return
ATTORNEY Deering read the following
statement, signed by Mrs. Reed
LILLIAN M. Reed, being duly sworn
saws she has this day restored the de-
fendant, Howard S. Reed. to all mar

doned all former offenses done by the
said defendant prior to this day. She
fcrther states that she now instructs
her attorney, Mrs. Clara Shortrldge
FoItz, to dismiss the above action I'M
mediately." A.,
Mrs. Foltz refused to return to the
court room, and Judge James ruled that
he could not dismiss the divorce suit
Without the consent of Mrs. Reeds at
torney. The restraining order, prevent
ing Reed from disposing of certain
nronerty pending the divorce trial, was
ordered dissolved, however, as was the
order for Reed to show cause why he
should not pay his wife $500 alimony
