ment from San Diego
COUPLE FLEE TO THIS CITY
Grocery CIerek Declared to Have
Induced Girl to Desert
Her Home

Two women swooned in the ely jail
last night, one within a minute of the
other, and attaches of the receiving
hospital were kept busy for a feW
minutes. Mrs. Mime Schwarzauer,
under arrest as a fugitive, recovered
consciousness quickly. Her mother,
Mrs. j. Kane of 1856 Union avenue.
San Diego, is in the Good Samaritan
hospital and very ill as result of a
hysterical attack following her hurried
up to the Jail to see her daughter.
The meeting between mother and
daughter in the detectives office and
it's startling sequel followed a strange
series of events, which included a
hasty wedding, the result of dare;
an elopement in which Mrs. Schwar-
zauer and George w. Senior, both Of
San Diego, are alleged to have figured;
the arrest of Seinor on a warrant
charging grand larceny and the de-
tention of his companion as fugitive.
WEDDING FOLLOWS WAGER
Mrs. Schwarzuaer, whose maiden
name was Minnie Kane, Is said to
have met Albert .,chwarzuaer, an em-
ploye of the San Diego Brewing COM
pany, last July. One night Miss Kane,
Schwarzauer and Senior dined togeth-
er. During the course of the evening
Schwarzauer made a bet with the girl
that she was not game" enough to
marry him.
The girl Immediately accepted the
wager as she thought 1t would be
impossible to secure the necessary lie
ense as 1t was on Sunday night. 1t
took more than a holiday to daunt
Schwarzauer. He called a cab and
hustled the girl and Senior to the resi-
dence of the county clerk, who was
induced to open his Office and issued
the license. From there they drove
to the residence of a DIR. Crabtree,
who married them.
Following the ceremony the bride
and bridegroom were driven to their
respective homes, and, according to
Mrs. Schwarzauer, never lived to-
gether.
Senior, who is a grocery clerk, and
who appears to be the man of her
heart, induced her to flee with him to
Los Angeles last month, and they had
been living at Seventh street and
Grand avenue, the police assert.
SEND ORDER FOR ARREST
The authorities of San Diego wired
the local office to arrest the couple,
and Detectives Jones and Boyd learned
their whereabouts Thursday night.
When they went there to arrest them
they only found the girl, and so they
decided to wait until night, when they
expected to arrest Senior at the same
time. When the officers returned, the
girl caught sight of them, jumped out
of window and disappeared. The of
ficers continued their search and found
the couple in East TWenty-third street
early yesterday morning.
Mrs. Kane appeared at the city Jail
last night to visit her daughter. She
became hysterical when she met the
accused in the detectives office, emit
ted a piercing scream and fell to the
floor in faint. The daughter gazed
at the inert form for a few seconds,
then also fell to the floor in an un-
conscious condition.
Mrs. Schwarzauer quickly recovered
from her swoon and when the matron
appeared, assisted the latter in an ef-
fort to revive her mother. Their en-
deavors, however, were futile, and
after working with the woman for
nearly ten minutes Mrs. Kane was
taken into the receiving hospital.
SEES MOTHER IN FAINT
In the meantime Miss Kane, another
daughter, who is employed as nurse
at the Good Samaritan hospital, was
notified. She appeared just as her
mother was being carried on
stretcher from the detective headquar-
ters Miss Kanes demeanor was quite
in contrast with that Of her mother
and sister; she showed no emotion and
calmly followed the unconscious form
as 1t was being borne to the receiving
hospital.
The police surgeons administered re-
storatives, but it was more than an
hour before Mrs. Kane recovered con-
sciousness. Later she was removed
to the Good Samaritan, where she is
said to be in a serious condition as
the result of the shock.
Mrs. Kane arrived In Los Angeles
late yesterday afternoon in company
with Detective Joseph Myers of San
Diego. The officer will take the prison.
ers to San Diego this afternoon.
