sifion resulting from Investigations
made here today by 6. I. Browne. chief
OF the Los Angeles Identification bu-
reau.
Browne was assisted in his investi-
cations by Frank H. de Pue, the san
Francisco finger print expert. The dis
appearance Of Charles A Pesepti, pro-
prietor of the hotel where "Smithy
lived is still d mystery. Browne OBJ
rained information about "Smithy
which has caused him to call the sus-
pect a second Doctor JekYll and Mr..
Hyde"
The direct purpose Of Brownies visit
was to obtain evidence for the Los
Angeles grand jury. He questioned
closely both Mrs. Pesenti and Mrs. Jo-
hansen. obtaining principally corobo-
rative evidence
GETS NEW EVIDENCE
Browne also visited others at Corte
MADEIRA. who gave him some startling
information about .Smithy's' relations
with certain well known persons. This
information Browne is Withholding for
more careful investigation.
Il was during his interview with Mrs
JOhannsen at her home here that
Browne received the idea that -Smithy
planned an alibi. Mrs. Johannsen told
him that '-Smithy'' and Mrs LAWN had
visited her home September 80.
Just TO think" exclaimed Mrs. Jo-
hansen. that man could use us to
prove an alibi. II 'Smithy' did that

reason for remembering it Mrs. LAWN

mOreG frame of mind. as he usually
was They-Mrs. LAWN and Smithy-

Especial Dispotch 10 The calll

SAN JOSE. Oct. 25.-For the second
time NJ Capell, shoe merchant, who
opened a store in this city three weeks
ago, appeared today before Superior
Judge Richards upon writ of habeas
corpus, asking for release from the
city prison.
Capell was twice arrested by the city
authorities upon a charge of selling
bankrupt or assigned stock without a
license of 5000 a year.
A flaw in the first complaint resulted
in his release when the first writ was
heard by Judge Richards and he was
rearrested. His attorney argues that
the license ordinance is discriminative
in that the established merchant here
pays no tax.
