WOMAN FREED ON
CHARGE OF MURDER
San Francisco District AttOr=
ney's Office Blamed for
Lack of Evidence

OAKLAND, March Mrs. Emilienne
Sattler Simon, Fruitvale practitioner
of medicine, was dismissed this morn
ing by Police Judge Smith after a
preliminary examination on a charge
of murder had begun. Prosecut-
ing Attorney Decoto moved for the
dismissal on the grounds of u defective
case for the state. and the magistrate
held that the. action was warranted.
Decoto blames the district attorneys s
office of San Francisco for the result
of the case. Doctor Simon was ar
rested for causing the death of Mrs.
Annie Mott, San Franciscan laundry
worker, upon whom she is alleged to
have performed a criminal operation
The complaint was sworn to by AL
phonse Mott, husband of the dead
woman, and a dying statement was
taken from Mrs. Mott by an attache
of the San Francisco district attorney 5
Office.
The flaw was in the taking of this
statement. The San Francisco deputy
failed to ask Mrs. Mott if she believed
or had been apprised that she was
near to death. This omission proved
to be an irreparable defect in the evil
dence against Doctor Simon

WANTS AMBULANCE SPEED
RESTRICTED TO TEN MILES.
T. w. Corwin's Suggestion to
Health Board Not Adopted.

Official action relative to the speed at
which the City Hospital ambulance
shall be run through the streets was
taken at a meeting of the Board of
Health last night, when the matter
was brought up by Theodore w. Cor
win, who contended that the speed at
which the ambulance was run Is a
menace to life.
He wanted the board to regulate the
speed of the ambulance SO chat 1t
would not go faster than ten miles an
hour, but the suggestion did not meet
with favor, and nothing was done to
change the present conditions.
1t was shown that only n accident
had occurred during the past year and
that during the last month alone there
were 463 calls that were responded to
without accident. 1t was also ex-
planned that the Four Corners are
avoided as much as possible and that
high speed is INDUCED in only when
the doctor believes it necessary.
A letter was read from City Clerk
Connolly, in which he said that a num-
Der of midwives are doing business III
the city illegally. Health Officer
Chandler said that he had replied to
the letter stating that neither the
board now the law department could
find a law under which to prosecute
the offenders and suggesting that the
city clerk proceed in the matter as he
deemed best.
