Tracing Her Life
Chief Of Police Briare is trying to
trace the history of Mrs. Knight. He
has communicated with the authorities
of Eureka. New, in an effort to locate
a man named Ross Wright, who is said
to have married Mrs. Knight out Of q
dance hall in the late sos. Wright
had trouble with her and left her after
being beaten mp one night when 1t was
reported to the police that he had been
attacked by tramps.
The Knight woman came to Stockton
aud was married to DIR. 8. E. Knight,
but the couple separated IL years age
and no one seems to know his where
abouts.
Stockton Official Knew Eureka Woman
Stockton California. September 30 -
A prominent official here, whose
identity District Attorney Foltz would
not divulge. called on the latter this
morning and stated that he knew Mrs.
Knight years ago in Eureka, Nevada.
where she was an habitue Of a dance
hall. Later she left the dance hall and
married Ross Wright. When she came
to Stockton she came to this official and
asked him not to divulge her past his
tory, as she wanted to lead a good life.
He promised. but considers that the dis
closures leading to her arrest warrant
breaking the promise
Word was received from the Nevada
authorities to the effect that Ross
Wright, her former husband, died q
number of years ago from consumption.
The story that Mrs. Knight at one time
nearly beat HIM to death could not be
verified.

There is nothing that so marks the
progress of q community as the liberality
with which it deals with matters con-
corning public education. A few dol
lars spent at the right time. and in the
right way, may mean the saving OF
many more in the future this is partic.
ularly true in educational matters.

ACCUSED WOMAN WAS
FORMER EUREMA
Mrs. Knight, Charged With a
Serious Crime in California,
Once Lived in Eureka

Mrs. knight. the woman mentioned
lin the following dispatches. resided in
Eureka for several years during the
latter SOS. coming here under the name
of Nettie Peterson. She was quite .
prominent character 10 the sporting
circles Of the camp as she figured in sew
eral lively episodes. and 10 we'll re-
membered by q number Of our older
residents. For some time after her ar
rival here she was employed as a Twenty
one dealer in the Empire and other
gambling houses then running in the
camp. After leaving the Empire she is
said to have filled an engagement as a
box artist at the Truckee Varieties.
Later she was married to Ross Wright,
a live stock buyer. but IL is believed
they separated before leaving Eureka.
Wright went to Utah and was shortly
afterward accidentally drowned In Salt
Lake. She is supposed to have left here
for California.
The statement in the dispatch regard
ing her nearly beating Wright to death
is not borne out by the facts in the case,
according to old-timers here. 1t is said
that Wright returned to town rather
unexpectedly IN night from a trip in
the country, and as he stepped inside
the darkened house. another gentleman
visitor hit him over the head with an
iron bar aud knocked him completely
out 1t was thought for some time he
would not recover from the blow. This
affair caused considerable feeling in En-.
reka at the time, as Wright was a pop
ular young man aud a prominent lodge
member, and $1,000 was raised and Of.
fered as q reward tor the arrest Of his
assailant.
During her residence here the woman
attempted suicide one night by jumping
into the big reservoir at the Eureka
Consolidated furnaces and tried to
drown herself. She is said to have had
many love affairs while . resident Of
the Base Range, and they all did not
end happily.

S. E. Knight, who is said to have COM
mitted over 1000 revolving crimes while
alleged to be plying the business Of
"Baby Farmer" was held to answer by

Other Cases Against Her
District Attorney e. P. Foltz is still
working on the cases being prepared
against Mrs. Knight. whom the Grand
Jury made Intellectual attempts to in
dict nearly a year ago. Sensation has
followed sensation during the past few
days and it is pretty safe to say that q
number OF Stockton families are on the
verge of prostration over prob
able developments and disclosures.
Mrs. knights name was q common
word ON the lips of the Stockton public
long before the Grand Jury brought her
name into the newspapers. Her alleged
practices were q matter of general re-
port.
Last evening Attorney Thomas s..
Louttit, counsel for the accused woman,
called on Justice Parker and asked per-
mission to read 1.-THE third complaint
that has been filed against Mrs.
Knight" When told hat but two
complaints had been filed at that hour.
he showed signs of relief and walked
from the Courtroom. Evidently he is
prepared to believe that any number Of
charges will be filed against his client.
Murder Charge Possible
District Attorney Foltz has stated
that if a charge of murder is brought
against Mrs. Knight it will probably
not be for driving a hatpin through the
head of q newborn babe. bat for still
another crime Of which the mistress of
the ''baby farm" is said to be guilty.
Mr.. Foltz is gathering evidence con-
corning a girl who is said to have died
after undergoing q criminal operation
at the home Of Mrs. Knight.
Mrs. knights book, in which she
kept her accounts and which the au-
thorities state contains something over
600 names Of persons on whom she ope-
rated since 1908. was introduced in evil
dence yesterday. There was a gasp OF
expectancy as Chief Briare, while on
the witness stand. opened the little
leather.bouud book thumbed the pages
and finally read the entry. "Mrs. Tay-
lor, $780," But promised sensations
failed to develop. for the witness read
no other entries. The book was closed
and placed in the custody Of the Court.
