San Diego Herald has been rec

rests would follow today, Sheriff
jennings is taking an active part
in the latest development in the
fight between the police, vigil

bitterly attacked the police in the
free speech fight, was seized last

home near the business district
and directly across the street
from the fashionable University

the cry of Murder" followed by
a revolver shot. Screaming for

the porch, was whisked away.
Mrs. Sauer was prostrated by
the shock and may not live.

SAN FRANCISCO, April g.
Stung by a recent editorial IN
which he was described as "nu-

San Francisco, today made dra-
matte statement of his misdeeds.
"With Others" says Ruef, II
co-operated in selling out the city
of San Francisco and so l am in

home instead of going to work,
cheers and shouts of approval

examination of Hotel Clerk O..
Gray was the chief feature this
morning of the court martial OF
Lieutenant Jones.
Regarding Gray's advice so
Jones and Mrs. McReynolds to
register as man and wife, the
court asked him:
do you frequently advise SIN

wife?"
"On several occasions 1 have"
replied Gray. "Under certain err
cumstances / have done So"
"What idea," asked the court,
"did you hear of the relations ex-
listing between Lieutenant Jones
and Mrs. McReynolds
THAT they were upright and
honorable" replied Gray.
BREMERTON, April 6.-Mrs.
Margaret McReynolds, divorced
wife of the complaining officer

ing after being excused yesterday
afternoon on account OF illness.

Lieutenant G. X. Jones, who Is on
court martial on the charge of
"scandalous conduct" asked that
she be excused, saying that she
was suffering from chills and a

mony to the effect that LieUten-
