NEW YORK, July 27.-With her

rushing across the continent to over
take her, Mrs. Margaret L. McNamara,
millionairess in her own right, is IN
seclusion here awaiting the result OF

ward the release of her chauffeur, her
companion and her valet from the Jail

day.

Oregon. a little matter Of thousand
miles or so. and after this decided she
would GO to visit her daughter In
Carlsbad. She shipped her auto on to
New York, intending to reship 1T to
Europe, and then followed with her
two young sons. Chester and Wilbur,
and the three servants. These latter
are held as fugitives from justice on a
request from the chief OF police or
San Francisco.
ATTORNEYS for the woman and for her
servants appeared in court today and
asked for the release of the prisoners
on the ground of lack Of evidence.
Argument of Attorney.
Henry Rosenberg, counsel for the
three, told Magistrate Butts that Mrs,
Mcnamara is wealthy in her own right,
while her husband is almost pennlless.
He enumerated among Mrs. Mona
mara's personal property $50 shares In
the Anglo. California bank, valued at
$1,000 each.
'tMr. Mcnamara sought power Of
attorney over these shares, - said Ro-
senberg. Mrs. Mcnamara refused to
sign such a paper and has been sub
iected to complaints ever since. In
this absurd charge Mcnamara is simply
seeking TO attack his wife through
these three innocent persons.
"This charge is ridiculous. Mrs. Nc
Namara owned the car in which the
party set out from San franclsco.
Mrs. Perkins is the wife Of well.to do
business man of California. She joined
the party only at the earnest solicita-
tion of Mrs, Mcnamara.
Held Without Bail
Despite the strong argument of the
attorney Magistrate Butts said he
considered it his duty to hold Mrs.
Perkins and the chauffeur and valet
without bail to await eXtradition.
This he did. committing the three to
lOrkVllle prison.
Tonight Mrs. Mcnamara was re-
ported 10 be in state of collapse.
