cided the investigation was a judicial
and court procedure and the expecta-

Refuse to Admit Confession
The judges refused to regard the
alleged confession as evidence and de-
clined to permit 1t to be read.
The alleged confession of Martin. ac-
cording to the state attorney, tells a
story of repeated meetings between
Martin and Rayburn, with assertions
that different jur.' drawings had been
tampered with.
The prosecutor says Martin admits
he had agreed to furnish Rayburn with
a list of names of men who would be
amenable to outside influence should

Police Inspector McCann, recently

improper persons for protetcoin.

GRADUATE HELD TO
BURGLARY CHARGE
Roy T. Caller Must Face Supe.
rior Court, but Will Prob
ably Secure Probation

BERKELEY. Oct. ..15.-Roy r. Caller,
a Missouri university graduate and
member of well known family of ST
Louis, whose arrest on a. charge of
burglary attracted some attention, was
held to answer before the superior
court with bonds in $1,000 by Judge
Edgar this afternoon. This action is
taken to permit of decision whether
Caller will be placed on probation or
not, as the lower court in matters of
felony has not this discretion
Former Deputy Town Attorney
James Koford appeared for Caller and
Deputy District Attorney Smith repre-
sented the people. Both Nish and Me-
Nell, Shattuck avenue haberdashers,
from whose store Caller is said to have
stolen clothing, appeared on the wit
ness stand to testify that the goods
found in the young mans room were
their property. Chief Vollmer and
Detective Sergeant Henry Jamison told
or the finding OF the stolen property.
The defense had little testimony to
offer, but Koford brought out the fact
that the clothing taken was the only
thing stolen from the haberdashers.
This testimony is expected to secure
Caley's probation when the case comes
up before the superior court. 1t is
understood that his employers in San
Francisco, for whom he was working
as clerk, are making efforts to secure
his release during good behavior.
Caller maintained silence in the
courtroom this afternoon and appeared
to be suffering mentally on account of
his preliminary examination by the
court.

LITTLE GOLD IN
POESY CRUCIBlf
Ardent Stanzas Burn in Heart,
But Fire Leaves Small Trace
of Bright Metal

OAKLAND, Oct. 15.-Devotion to the
muse may in the end bring fame. but to
Mabel Porter Pitts Carey. the Caiifor-
mia poetess of tender passion, the fan
cial returns were pitiably small after
heavy expense incurred at the outset
She was ready to admit this today in
Judge Ellsworth's court in order to
make good her petition for 5000 a
month temporary alimony, besides costs
and counsel fees, pending the outcome
of her suit fog divorce against James
A. Carey.
at cost $500 to have my little book
of poems published" said Mrs. Carey
with sigh. and all that the book
has ever brought me was So year
Magazine contributions were slightly
more remunerative, said Mrs. Carey.
Contributions to magazines, which
have had accepted. have not paid me
more than $40 year" she said after a
mental calculation.
It was different with Carey. according
to her testimony. Though he main
tanned that he was on salary of 500
a month, she said that his income from
an insurance ma gazine called the Adj
juster was $3.50 to $3.50 a month. she
basing her estimate on her allie cation
he could easily spare her 5000 all
mony.
Later she said that she had twice
threatened to sue for divorce, but that
he had induced her not to do so by
threats to bump her head against the
wall She answered his assertion that
she had $1,000 worth of diamonds,
which he had given her. by saying that
she had raised $500 on these to publish
her book.
long argument by counsel hinged
on a contract which husband and wife
had signed prior to separating. binding
her to make no claim or file no suit
against him for two years, while he
was to pay her $50 month for main
tenance. He said that by advance pay
ments he had reached his total obli-
ment expired, but Mrs. Carey was not
so sure as she said she had signed re-
ceipts for money on the contract. and
that she had not observed the figures
which he had written in. Attorney L.
G. Carpenter, representing Carey, held
that she was barred from claiming ali
mony under this contract, but deci-
sion was not given today.
Carey has answered her charges of
cruelty by alleging that she was open
in her love for C. lie Roy Childs. and
that she had deceived him before the
separation in order to be near Childs.
In an affidavit, which Carey made last
week, he charged that hers alleged re-
lations with Childs had not ceased with
the fling of the divorce complaint, and
that Childs still contributed to her sup
port.
Carey testified that his salary was
small, 500 a month; that he was heav-
lily in debt and that he had been more
than prompt in making his payments
to her.
Judge Ellsworth will hear more octo-
