Discrepancies in Story Of
Woman Charged With
Murder Found.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Aug. 10.
Mrs. Mabel BeIrade, In jail here
today in connection with the death
Of A. Biese, a rancher, maintained
that her pack Of eighteen dogs had
killed the man after she had quar-.
relied with him Tuesday. The nude
and mutilated body of Biese was
found on a cot in his ranch house,
and Mrs Belarde and her husband
were arrested.
Mrs. Belarde at first denied any
knowledge of the affair but later
under severe questioning declared
that Biese had struck here With a
club and her dogs, which she de-
clared were more to her than her
husband and brothers." had attack
ed the rancher She said she dress
ed his wounds, then took him TO
his home and then prepared to
take him to Sacramento but tali-
ed because her husbands car was
out of order. When she and her
husband returned to the house lat
er Biese was dead.
Deputy Marshal Russell declare ed
there were many discrepancies IN
her story. Russell said she could
not explain how some Of Biese's
clothing was found hanging on a
fence between the two ranches.
Later today the woman was taken
to the ranch and went over details
of the killings to officials. Upon
reaching her house she ran to the
room where the dogs should be.
The woman was permitted to
caress the dogs who crowded
around her, barking and crying.
Men don't know woman's love
for dumb animals she told Mat
ron Hallanan, Il would give my
life for these dogs and they would
die fighting for me. Other people
don't understand. They are more
to me than my husband or broth.

Mrs. Belarde said her first re
fusal to tell of Biese's death was
due to fear the dogs would be
punished.
They protected me and want
ed to protect them.'. she said.
After the woman had been re-
turned to the county jail, county
humane officers went to the ranch
house and shot the entire pack OF
eighteen dogs.
