FAKE SUICIDE IS
SAVED FROM JAIL

Imprisonment facing her husband
because he slammed suicide to punish
her for suing for divorce effected the
reconciliation OF Mrs Pauline A. East
man with Luke E. Eastman. Forget
ting the cruelty and abuse she COM
planned of in her suit for divorce, she
waxed eloquent In her husbands de-
fense before Police Judge Deasy this
morning and won his liberty.
A smoking revolver In his hand and
blood streaming from his face, East
man was found last night stretched
on the floor and still as death in their
home, 1890 Jackson street. A few
minutes before she had told him of
filing suit for divorce. She believed
he had committed suicide because of
the suit.
Mrs. Eastman accompanied him and
bailed him out. This morning she
agreed with him that they made a
mistake in telling the version to the
policeman yesterday and 1t was only
an accident On this showing Judge
Deasy discharged the case.

Albany, Oct. S.-Governor Sulzer
rested his case this afternoon.
BULLETIN

ALBANY. N. Y. Oct. S.--Louis Sa-
recky testified before the court of
Impeachment today that he had de-
stroyed the book in which he kept
a list of the campaign contributions
received by William Sulzer while he
was running for governor.
Sarecky admitted that he called
upon Webb Floyd late in July to ask
him whether or not the Mutual ALI
ance Trust company or any of its en-
ployes or officers had been subpenaed
before the Frawley committee and
had asked him not to obey that sub
pena.
Sarecky also testified that he had
destroyed his checkbook and the
checks returned to him by the banks.
He said that he remembered getting
only $500 in cash and a check for
somewhere between S100 and $3.50
from the governor during the cam
paign.
Then Stanchfeld aimed heavy
blow at the governor He had the
witness admit that he had prepared
the statement of campaign receipts
and disbursements and then asked A.:
Just what did you say you said to
the governor when he signed it?''
Il presented the statement to him
and he said, Is it all right? and I said
that it was as accurate as 1 can make
up"
You mean that it was as accurate
as you could make it, predicated on
the knowledge that you had and the
moneys you had receiyed?"
Yes"
The attorney thus showed that Gov
ernor Sulzer had turned the making
of the statement over to Sarecky
without letting him know of any of
the big collections made by the gov

ALI IS
TRACED To
FRESNO

Said Ali Khan boarded a Santa Fc
ing after the murder of Rosa Domingo
and Travelled as far as Fresno.
This is the first clew to the move
ments of the Hindu since the girl was
killed in East Shore park at Siege
and her body weighted with iron and
| thrown in the bay. The information
was furnished by A. Smith, news
dealer on the San Francisco Fresno
Santa Fe train
Smith told the Richmond police this
morning that he noticed Said Ali after
he got on at Richmond, his attention
being called to the Hindu by his Wv
idly striped suit of clothes. Acting on
this information, the Fresno police
have been asked to search Hindu
camps in that vicinity.
The search for Said Ali Khan is now
made definite by circular sent broad
cast through the state charging him
with the murder of the Spanish girl.
AS he had correspondence with friends
at Fresno and also at OXnard, partic-
ular efforts will be made in the hunt
at both these places. Reports were
received yesterday from Oxnard. how
ever that nothing was know of Said
Ali there.
1t has been definitely established
also, say the police, that Rosa Do
mingo reached Siege on Wednesday
night, October 1. Motorman Peter de
Long and Conductor Z. ID. HOFFMAN
identified the girls body and said she
rode on their car that night from Oak
land and was met by swarthy man
corresponding to the missing Hindu S
description.
The police are now satisfied that
Charles E. Riley, the Siege team
ster who has been involved in the
case, is not an accessory, as he has
furnished a sati sfactory alibi. New
ertheless he will be held until the
i Hindu Is captured. so that his story
may be used in building up evidence
to incriminate Said Ali.

can give a coherent description of
the fight and the circumstances pre-

about the age of the Walk boy can
give no clear description of the af-
fair. He simply remembers that his
companion pleasantly addressed the
girl as Hello. Ethel,'' that the man
resented it and. despite the plead
ings of Walk. brutally attacked him.
The entire neighborhood is aroused
over the matter and is making every
effort to assist the police in their
