CHAPTER xxx.
When churehyards Yawn.

When Churchyards Yawn.
1t was on Wednesday Riggs told us
the story of his connection with some
incidents that had been previously un-
explained. Halsey had been gone
since the Friday night before, and
with the passage of each day I felt
that he might be carried thousands
of miles in the box-car, locked in, per-
haps, without water or food. I had
read of cases where bodies had been
found locked in cars on isolated sid
ings In the west, and my spirits went
down with every hour.
His recovery was destined to be al
most as sudden as his disappearance,
and was due directly to the tramp
Alex had brought to Sunnyside. 1t
seems the man was grateful for his
release, and when he learned some
thing of Halsey's whereabouts from
another member of his fraternity
for it is fraternity-he was prompt
in letting US know.
On Wednesday evening Mr.. Jamie
son, who had been down at the Arm
strong house trying to see Louise
and failing-was met near the gate at
Sunnyside by an individual precisely
as repulsive and unkempt as the one

piece of dirty paper, on which was
scrawled the words: Hes at City
hospital, louisville" The tramp who
brought the paper pretended to know
nothing. except this: The paper had
been passed along from a hobo" in
townsville, who seemed to know the
information would be valuable to us
Again the long-distance telephone
came into requisition- Mr. Jameson
called the hospital, while we crowded
around him. And when there was no
longer any doubt that-it was Halsey,
and that he would probably recover

WASTED A FORTUNE ON SKIN
TROUBLE

81 began to have an itching over my
whole body about seven years ago and
this settled in my limbs, from the knee
to the toes. I went to see great many
physicians. a matter which cost me a
fortune, and after noticed that did
not get any relief that way. I went for
three years to the hospital But they
were unable to help me there, used
all the medicines that could see but
became worse and worse. I had an
Inflammation which made me almost
crazy with pain. When I showed my
foot to my friends they would get
really frightened. I did not know
what to do. I was so sick and had be-
come SO nervous that I positively lost
all hope.
81 had seen the advertisement of
the Cuticura Remedies a great many
times, but could not make up my mind
to buy them. for had already used so
many medicines. Finally I did decide
to use the Cuticura Remedies and I
tell you that was never so pleased as
when I noticed that, after having used
two sets of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Pills. the en-
tire Inflammation had gone. I was
completely cured. I should be only

PROMOTER JAILED
ON CLIENTS PLANT
Negro Accused of Manipulating
Funds of Furniture Conn
pany to Suit Himself

OAKLAND. Jan. 7.JErros Marshall,
negro promoter and proprietor of the
Marshall furniture company. an alleged
cooperative concern at the corner of
Seventh and Linden streets. was ar
rested yesterday and lodged in the
city prison while the police Investigate
charges that he has played fast and
loose with the funds of his company
Two. specific complaints were lodged
against Marshall. one by Miss C. Will
liams, who bought 100 shares of the
company's stock at 81 a share. and the
other by William Gardner, who says
that he put S10s into the company's
vaults and was rewarded by being made
treasure
The compiainants say that Marsha Il
obtained the money from them under
false pretenses. He represented, they
declare, that the company would be
Incorporated, which never has been
done, and they also assert that he has
refused access to the company's books
to every one save himself
Other charges are that Marshall
issued stock TO which he affixed the
secretary's signature without the lat
ter's permission, aud that when the
stock holders protested against his
methods of conducting the business he
retaliated by levying an assessment on
the stock Attorney Stiefvater repre-

COUNTY FORESTER
GETS NO SALARY
Judge Ellsworth Decides That
Commission Lacked Right to
{ Fix Any Compensation

OAKLAND. Jan. fudge Ellsworth
ruled today that County Forester Bert
F'aser may keep his position of county
forester, but that he is not entitled TO
any salary. The decision was handed
down in q test case brought to compel
County Auditor Pierce and County
Treasurer Kelly TO let Fraser have his
pay of $50 month The supervisors
had set aside a fund of $4,000 for the
expenses of the commission
Judge Ensworth's decision is TO the
effect that the county board of forestry,
which appointed Fraser to Office, eX-
ceeded its authority in fixing his sal
airy. The forestry board was appointed
in accordance with an act passed at the
last session of the legislature.
John W. Mott Charles w. Riser Rob
ert Turnbull. Duncan McDuffie and
Frederick Moore were appointed by the
supervisors. They named Fraser and
fixed his salary. Judge Ellsworth holds
that the right to fix the salary of a
county official rests solely with the
legislature and that it is an unconstitu
tional delegation of authority for the
legislature to give this power to any
other person or body The act Gre
ating the commission did not fix sal

MARTIN NAPPEAL HAS
STRANGE ANOMALY
Files in Case Are the Longest
in California Criminal
Proceeding

OAKLAND, Jan. 7.-According TO
Deputy District Attorney Walter ].
Burpee. who will file Monday his an
swering brief in the matter of the
appeal of Mrs. Isabella ]. Martin. the
brief of the appellant contains the
strange anomaly of a confession that
the testimony in the case that was
properly introduced was enough to sus-
tain a conviction, but that a new trial
should be granted just the same be-
cause errors were committed in in
Producing testimony.
The case shows how cumbersome
the administration of the criminal law
of California has become" Burpee de-
clared.
Mrs. Martin was found guilty De-
cember Is. 1905, Of dynamiting the
home of Superior Judge Ogden and
given life sentence by Judge Wells
Her attorneys appealed on the ground
that testimony had been improperly
admitted that prejudiced the defend
ants case with the jury. The extract
in the defendants brief 70 which Bur-
pee especially referred is the follow
ing:
In conclusion. we respectfully and
earnestly submit that the record fully
bears out-appellant's position that nu-
merous prejudicial errors Were COM
mitted: that while it may be said that
eliminating the Objectionable testi-
mony there was sufficient TO have sus-
tanned conviction if such verdict
had been, returned. the defendant was
entitled TO be tried upon relevant. ma
terial. competent testimony to the ex-
clusion of all other
The files in the case are the longest
in any criminal case ever tried in

BERKELEY. Jan. Tile report for
tic last year Of building inspector 3.
P. Bull OF this city has been received
with much satisfaction by the realty
dealers and residents as an evidence
OF the rapid growth Of Berkeley Ac-
cording TO the report there has been
spent in building here during the last
l. months more than s2.25o,o00.
While the receipts Of the Office were
slightly lower than those of the previ-
Gus two years, realty men are satisfied
that Berkeley is gaining steadily

boycott on the lines of the Oakland
traction company and its allied Key
Route transbay system. agreed at a
meeting last night TO suspend the boy
cott for 10 days and await action on
the part OF the officials Of the traction
company
Some action viii probably be forth
coming owing TO the fact that e. A.
Heron, president OF the company, Wis
tied the Euclid avenue line a few DAYS
ago and looked over the matter of the
proposed extension.
Heron also held a conference with
Mayor Hodghead. and as the council
is in favor Of the extension of the

service the corporation will probably
give the club what il demands.

MOTT APPOINTED
COUNTY RECORDER
Berkeley Supervisor Alone OPP
poses Choosing of Mayors
Brother to Succeed Grim

OAKLAND, Jan. John w. Mott.
brother of Mayor Frank *. Mott, clerk
of the police court for many years and
twice assemblyman from the forty
ninth district, was chosen county re-
corder today by the board of super
visors to succeed a. h Grim, who died
last night. The appointment was
made at a meeting called especially
for the purpose of appointing sue
cessor to Grim. The appointment was
hastened bectuse the law provides that
the recorders Office must be closed
until q successor is appointed.
Motifs appointment was not unani-
nous, and his nomination by Super
visor Joseph NJ. Kelly was the signal
for a bitter denunciation from Super
visor Foss of Berkeley. Foss opened
his remarks by saying that he thought
Berkeley was entitled to consideration
in the making of the appointment, be-
cause of the fact that Grim lived in
Berkeley and that his predecessor of
II years ago, Charles H. Spear, also
lived there. He then went on to say
that he could not vote for Mott because
the latter had gone to the Legislature
at the last session and fought against
the interests of the people by opposing
the Walker-Otis anti-racetrack bill. He
also scored Mott for having. as, chair
man of the board of forestry, assisted
in the appointment of B. r. Fraser as
county forester at salary of $3.50
a month. which Judge Ellsworth de-
cfded today was unconstitutional
MOTT THANKS SUPERVISORS
Supervisor Mullins seconded the
nomination, and Supervisors Horner
and Bridge favored Mott with their
votes, while Foss alone voted against
him. Mott made a brief speech of
thanks in which he expressed his regret
that Foss should find fault with him.
and in which he said that he would
convince him by the manner his Office
was conducted that he mistaken in his
estimate of him.
