GOES TO PRISON AGAIN
BECAUSE HE MARRIED
Paroled Convict Tries to
. Live Right, but Feels
Law's Hard Hand
BRIDE LEFT WEEPING
Schellenberg Must Serve His
Term Before He Can
Join Wife
OAKLAND, Aug. 2S.~Wlth. only six
weeks remaining of a prison sentence
on which he had been paroled, Henry
Schellenberg, alias Waldo and Wanko,
was arrested today and returned to San
Quentin for having violated his parole
by marrying Jennie Brown on July 24.
Bince his wedding he had been living
with his wife at the Whosoever Will
mission. In Ninth street between
Franklin and Webster. The place is
kept by J. C Westenberg as a refuge
for outcasts and ex-convicts, and Schel
lenberg, as he was known, had sought
a home there like the others.
The convict was cent to San Qu*>ntin
from Los Angeles after an attempt in
that place to break. Jail. At the prison
he gained the confidence of his guards,
who recommended a parole. The re-,
quest was granted and Schellenberg,
pledged to live rightly, became a free
man. \u25a0">'-.
The statutes of this state make a
convict civilly dead and forbid a per
son civilly dead to make a contract,
even of marriage. Schellenberg's bride
knew of his prison record.
The weeping wife protests that she
knew of her husband's record when sh&
married him and that . she * will stand
by him and seek a second parole. The
legal knot, however, may be hard to
untangle. This is the first time such
a question has presented itself in the
state and there is no precedent to guide
the attorneys. -;\u25a0\u25a0 \u25a0>. .=/

FEED DEALER BUILDS TWO
BARNS TO OBEY THE LAW
Ordinance Prescribes Against Cer
tain Number of Animals 'in One
Building, So He Erects Another
ALAMEDA, Aug. 23. — The city
officials say that A. H. W.'Koerber, a
feed and fuel dealer at 2312 s Santa
Clara avenue, apparently has evaded
an ordinance passed • recently by the
.city council, which prohibits the erec
tion on any one lot within a certain
prescribed district of a stable shelter-
Ing more than four horses. 'The object
of the measure was to prevent the.
building of stables in residential dis
tricts. Koerber owns ' a lot in Santa
Clara avenue west of the library build
ing on which he desired to stable eight
horses, fearing that the present quar
ters of the animals at his: feed and
fuel yard were in danger of being
destroyed quickly In case of, fire.
In order to circumvent the 'ordinance
which prohibits .the stabling of " more
than four horses in a barn on a single
lot and to stable eight horses on the
lot Koerber had two barns built so
closely to each' other that for prac
tical purposes. they are as one building
yet each is a separate stable for. four
horses, and technically within the pro
visions of the ordinance.

Professor Christy paid generous trib

that faced Its designers "when he said:

A. I*' Frlck, who has been retained ;
by the switchmen's union. The charge j
on which the preliminary hearing was i
held was m^urder, but the court held ;
that the offense, if anything, was man
slaughter.
Burke took the stand on Ms own (
behalf and told a dramatic story of !
the fatal battle. He amplified the testt- \
mony that he gave at the inquest.
After describing the search that he j
made around the yards for the whisky i
that had been stolen from a car. Burke
proceeded with the story of his fight !
with Dumas as follows:
"As I stood up, after picking up the'
bottle of whisky," the deceased sprang:
up, threw himself into a fighting po»- :
ture and attempted to close. His whole |
attitude was that of a man intending?
to fight.' He threw an arm « around !
my head acd pressed his finger into •
my eye; it felt like a knife, the pain
was so Intense. I put my hand up, ;
and he grabbed* my club. He struck :
me repeatedly- on the back of the ,
head. He had me bent over a stool.
I felt myself growing weaker. He '
beat and beat me, then said: Tou !
— > 111 fix your And then 1 1
fired."
Attorney Frlck cross examined Burke j
carefully and brought out some dis- i
crepancles between the testimony of!
the • defendant and that of Fay Beaver, ,
a telephone boy, who was present at'
the] • time of the shooting.

theater, to compel Ann Crewe, a former 1
leadinsr lady of the playhouse, to de
posit $300 as security In the suit which
