ATTORNEY MAKES
PERJURY Charge
Further Argument in the Case
Against Members of the
Fish Trust

In making his argument in the fish
trust cases, James A. Devote, attorney
for the plaintiffs, enlarged on the fact
yesterday that the defendant fish COM
panies had contented themselves with a
sweeping denial of all the evidence OF
the other side
"On the one hand" he said, I'VE have
a number of retailers who have tes-
tilted to certain facts, and on the other
is the denial of this evidence by the
wholesalers. It is your duty to decide
which of the two you must believe,
but in so doing I will ask you to recol-
lect that the retailers have no interest
in the outcome of the trial, while the
wholesalers have. The fact of the mat
ter Is that perjury by the wholesale has
been committed by some of the defense.
1t is to the interest of the wholesalers
to deny"
Attorney J. Webster spoke for the
American fish company and W. NJ.
Madden for the Western fish company
The latter is in his argument said that
the entire trouble was brought about
by j. Catania-
The case will be continued today and
probably will go to the jury late this
afternoon.

VITRIOL Crime Is
CHARGED To Girl
Anonymous Postcard Sent to
Police Concerning the
Redfern Case
Pretty Stenographer Implicated,
but Revenge Is Believed
Behind. the Writing

Interest again stirred in the Redfern
vitriol throwing episode of several
months ago when it was learned by
the police yesterday that the pretty
victim, Miss Ruth Frances Wilson OF
1924 Octavia street. whose sight was
nearly destroyed by Van Camp Redfern,
had received an anonymous postcard
dated at Yuma. Ariz.. which stated
that a Miss Emma Corcoran of 234
Twenty seventh street was responsible
for the occurrence.
1t was at first supposed that the card
was written by Redfern, but police in
vestigation brought to light the fact
that it was probably written by Ira
Giser, who is in no way connected with
the case, but who has been perSecut
ing a stenographer Miss Corcoran for
the last year with threatening letters
and postals.
Giger and Miss Corcoran are un-
known to the Wilson's, and the only
connection between the two cases is be-
lieved to lie in the fact that Giger
wrote the postal. having heard of the
Redfern story, in an endeavor TO cast
suspicion upon Miss Corcoran that he
might realize the revenge he so fire.
quently threatened. A comparison of
the handwriting on the postcard and
the letters received by Miss Corcoran
from Giger seems to confirm that con-
clusion.
Miss Corcoran's trouble with Giger
dated from the time of their first and
only meeting more than year ago.
Giger was an artist at that time and
was employed by the j. Charles Green
company He fell In love with the
girl and. though thwarted at every
turn by her family and herself he per-
sisted in sending threatening letters.
After time Giger disappeared. but
letters were received from him with
southern postmarks. Giger is supposed
to be unsound mentally as the result
of fall he had while working in this

from the Valencia street theater be-

morning, and he is puzzled TO know
who could have stolen them and for
what purpose. The only clew he has,
which is an indefinite one, is that a

AGAIN ABDUCTED
Girl Spirited Away From St.
Louis and Found Here
VaniShes Once More
Little Mary Virginia Poe Disap-
pears While in the Charge
of Humane Society

The police are searching the city for
Mary Virginia Poe. the Is year old
daughter OF Joseph H Poe. a chemist of
81. Louis. who, after having been kid
mapped from St Louis three years ago
and located in this city by officers OF
the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Children two weeks ago, has
rnysteriously disappeared from the in
stitution in which she was placed by
Judge Murasky, pending her return 10
St Louis Arrangements had been made
20 send her back to her father.
CHILD FOUND HERE
The presence of the little one in this
city was discovered two weeks ago,
when the officers Of the society investi-
gated complaint 70 the effect that a
man and woman were maltreating a
young girl in a house in the southern
part Of the city. Special officer Fair
weather found that the man and woman
complained OF were Ernest Court and
Rose Sanchez Poe. From questions
put 10 the couple he soon learned that
the child was the one whose disappear
snce three years ago had set the. police
Of ST Louis and other Missouri cities
by the ears.
At that time Joseph H. Poe. who lives
in Broadway. St. Louis, obtained di-
vorce and absolute custody of his little
daughter the mother not being per-
mftted TO see her. After the decree the
mother wrote TO Poe requesting per-
mission TO visit the child. The letter
was gnored.
ABDUCTED BT MOTHER
A few days later the woman bor-
-.
school at Carondolet. where the little
girl was pupil. and waited until there
was a recess She caught sight Of little
Mary. talked TO her for a while, then
hurried her TO the buggy and drove
away with her
Police investigation failed to reveal
any trace Of mother or child. The Of
hcers sscertained. however. that at the
time Mrs. Poe disappeared with the
girL. q man named Ernest Court, a
friend Of the woman. had deserted HIS
wife and children and was also among
the missing. All effort on the part OF
Poe and the police to locate them was
unavaiIing.
When two weeks ago Officer Fair
weather discovered the couple and
child. he caused the arrest Of Court for
battery upon the girl, who was taken
in charge by the society. The case was
reported TO Judge MuraSkV. VINO or
dered that the girl be placed in an in
stitution and that no one be permitted to
see her until her father could be COM
municated with.
Child AGAIN MISSING
A few days ago q letter was received
from Poe, inclosing money and contain
ing instructions for the return of his
daughter. In the meantime the proba-
ton officers had transferred the child To
another institution. giving as a reason
the fact that there was not room for
her at the first place. The day after
the girl was placed in the second quar-
ters she either escaped or was abducteS !
and no trace of her or the mother has
been found. Court, who was convicted
Of battery upon the child, is serving a
term in the county jail.
The matter Of the second abduction
mas been reported TO Judge Muraskv
and an investigation is being made fo
