WALLA WALLA, Aug. "a
Jesse Sullivan walked from the
penitentiary yesterday into the
arms of a waiting and anxious
who has become wrinkled
and gray with work and worry in
getting him paroled. Sullivan was
serving an indeterminate sentence
for robbery and had completed 10
months.
He is a Tacoma youth, and, ac-
cording to the story which Gov.
Hay finally came to believe, was
innocent at heart of any wrong.

New York. June 1L-Mrs. Katherine

all OF to-day at the trial Of her suit for
separation from Howard Gould. which IS
on before Supreme Court Justice Dowllng.
Delaney Nieou. counsel for Gould. put
the witness through q stiff examination.
but at times became exasperated by Mrs.
Gould's answers. and displayed some little
temper In the questioning.
This led Clarence J. Shearn, Mrs. Could S
attorney, 20 request Mr.. Nicon Just be-
fore the case adjourned for the day, 70
please try TO be polite" Mr. Nicoll de-
clared that he was sick OF trying to be
polite, because he had been SO all day.
but Mrs. Gould would not answer a
straight question.
Yes; the witness has given Mr. Nicon
considerable unnecessary trouble" said
Judge Dowling
Then it ought TO be the duty OF the
court TO admonish her. and not the attor-
ney for the defense" replied Mr.. Shearn.
The cross-examination led up az fimes
TO William F. Cody, Dustin Farnum. Big
BIZ Hawley. and 10 other persons and
incidents that have become more or less
familiar since the Gould domestic troubles
started. in the summer OF 1906. Mrs.

Rome. June 1.-THE captain of the

that Holland Bennett, OF New York, a
passenger mysteriousIy disappeared yes
terday Mrs. Bennett says she left her

The ship was searched fruitlessly As the
decks were crowded at the time. Il seems
impossible that Mr.. Bennett could have
jumped or fallen overheard without be-

1t is believed In some quarters that Mr..
Bennett is a victim of the Neapolitan
Camorra, and that he was murdered or
kidnapped for his money and jewelry.
He had attracted attention in NapIes
by his indiscreet prOdigality. and Il seems
that he was shadowed thence 20 Genoa.

return voyage.

their utmost just now TO gather in money
to pay lawyers and bribe witnesses IN

London. June 11.-There Is stiI much
mystery concerning the suicide OF Mrs
Ruiz. who was supposed 70 have been
the divorced wife Of the secretary OF the
Cuban Legation az Washington. and the
cause Of the Vanderbilt divorce last year.
The AFFAIR has been the talk OF all
London One version current among
Vanderbilt friends is that the dead wo-
man was not the Mrs Ruiz in whom Mr.
Vanderbilt was interested.
This story is supported by remarkable
statements made by a New York woman
at the horse show Tuesday. when the
fact OF the suiciSe was not known. She
discussed freely vanderbnts entangIe-
ment with Mrs. Ruiz. saying she had
known Mrs Ruiz all her life, having
been educated with her at the same con-
vent IN America She described the couple
rs being deeply in love. and said she
believed Vanderbilt would marry her.
Mrs. Ruiz was not beautiful. but was
delightful and charming IN personality
and character.
Yanderbilt's taste was for an extremely
slim figure. and Mrs. Ruiz hsd reduced
herself by drastic treatment 10 please

young girl. They had avoided al the
public Appearances together in New York.
but had appeared publicly quite frequent
ly in London recently. I don't see her
here to-day, bat ! saw her alone with
him in his box yesterday" said the wo-
man.
Mrs. Ruiz Had Rival
The second story. which Is widely cur
rent in horse show circles tonight. is
that Mrs Ruiz and another woman had
been rivals during the past few months
for Vanderbilts favor. and Mrs. Ruiz
found herself practically supplanted and
committed suicide from grief
The housekeeper OF the Grosvenor street
house said tonight thar Mrs. Ruiz did
not have a.single man caller during the
seven weeks she occupied the house. She
denied enphatlcaIly that Mr.. Vanderbilt
lad ever been there. She commented
once on her mistress lack OF friends. and
Mrs. Ruiz said she knew no English
people, and there were no Americans in
town. She added that plenty would ar
rive soon, and then she would have lots
OF society
A woman somewhat resembling Mrs.
Ruiz has ridden Vanderbilts horses at
the show once or twice this week, and
has accompanied Vanderbilt as a specta-
tor.
Admitted She shot Herself
The doctor who attended Mrs. Ruiz says
she was conscious when ne arrived she
asked him who he was he asked who
had done the shooting. and she held I'D a
powder-stained hand. She was upon the
operating table IN the nursing home a
few minutes later. and the surgeon ex-
pected 10 save her life The bullet had
perforated the stomach and glanced up

an artery. and she died a fe- minutes
later from internal hemorrhage. A man
named Williamson. representing himself
as her parish agent. came from the city
and took charge OF everything He paid
all bills and had the body buried in
Catholic cemetery The inquest took
place in the ordinary way. Two reporters
were present. but IL IS easy TO secure the
suppression OF police and coroner's court
cases IN London.
