May 5, 1906 Page 10 Mrs. Le Doux Will Soon Be On Trial STOCKTON (San Joaquin Co.), May 5 - Only seventeen days remain before the trial of Mrs. Emma LE DOUX, the accused murderess of Albert N. McVICAR, will take place. Both sides are working hard gathering evidence, and it now appears that the trial will be one of the hardest fought in years. Both District Attorney NORTON and his assistant George McNOBLE, are spending all their time working on the case. Hugh McNOBLE, Attorney FAIRALL and Attorney CROCKER are as busily engaged framing up their side. Assistant District Attorney McNOBLE, who is the brother of Hugh McNOBLE, the leading attorney for the defense, has been out of town since the 1st inst., and it is said he and Sheriff SIBLEY are in Arizona gathering evidence in regard to the former life of the defendant. "I know where my brother and the Sheriff have gone," said Hugh McNOBLE to a Bee reporter. "I just begin to see through it. For two or three days I have looked for George but have not been able to locate him, now I remember seeing him and the Sheriff at the Southern Pacific Depot last Tuesday night. They were dressed in their traveling clothes, and I am pretty sure were bound for Arizona. It won't do them any good, though, as they will not learn anything new. I would willingly tell them all they wanted to know about the matter. Yes, it's a wild goose chase." Was Death Due to Negligence? LODI (San Joaquin Co.), May 5 - The statement made by Dr. GROSSHAUSER, a local physician, that the death of Rebecca, wife of J.B. DENNIS, was the result of criminal negligence on the part of the family, has engendered considerable bitter feeling here toward the husband by neighbors and a number of others. Mrs. DENNIS died suddenly at 11:30 last night. The DENNIS family are recent arrivals from Cottonwood, Shasta County, and she was a believer in Divine healing as taught by the members of Mary Baker Eddy's Christian Science Church, and was treated by Lodi women and Mrs. FELT, a healer from Stockton. At the inquest conducted by Coroner SOUTHWORTH, Dr. GROSSHAUSER testified that had he been called the day before Mrs. DENNIS' death, which he said was due to angini pectoris, he could have saved her life. On the strength of this statement The Bee correspondent interviewed the aged husband. He found a lonely white-haired Civil War veteran, who at the sunset of life was bowed down with sorrow by his great bereavement. To the questions of whether the services of a physician had been denied his wife during his illness, he sorrowfully answered: "No, sir! She was never refused anything at any time that gave promise of benefitting her. She has been an invalid for over eight years, and during that time has treated with the best physicians I could find. Last night she was stricken with apoplexy and is less than fifteen minutes was dead. I sent a neighbor for a physician, but before the doctor arrived all was over. That same doctor, when he testified that he could have saved her, knew better. All the doctors and all the Christian Scientists in Christendom couldn't have saved her." "I am not a Christian Scientist, but I must admit that these women who practice that faith gave my wife more comfort in two weeks than all the doctors gave her in eight years' treatment." Mrs. DENNIS was a native of Ohio, aged 66 years. The funeral will be held to-day. Mill Nearly Ready PLACERVILLE (El Dorado Co.), May 5 - S.G. BEACH has twenty-three men at work at his mill at Fresh Pond, getting the mill in shape for the season's run. The framework is up and the machinery is now being set up.

Finds That Father Had Killed Himself STOCKTON (San Joaquin Co.), May 5 - The people of Tracy were shocked Thursday night upon learning of the tragic death of one of their most respected citizens - James F. BANTA. Mr. BANTA did not return to town from his ranch, a short distance out, at the usual hour, and his family became alarmed. A son, accompanied by Austin GIBBONS, drove out to the place to ascertain the cause of the delay. They found the house dark, and striking a march, saw the body of BANTA lying on the floor, a 45-caliber Colt's revolver a foot or so from him, and a bullet hole in his head. The son and GIBBONS, seeing that the man was dead, hurried back to Tracy and reported the affair. An investigation was made and it was ascertained that BANTA had been dead some time, as the blood had coagulated. The only causes assigned for committing the rash deed were worry over financial losses due to his ranch, which was flooded last season, and the wayward actions of this eldest son. James BANTA was a well-to-do farmer and had many friends in the southern part of the county. He left a wife and six children, the youngest being an infant. A brother, H.C. BANTA, is engaged in the cigar business in the same town. Three Accidents WHEATLAND (Yuba Co.), May 5 - Three accidents occurred at the picnic at Waldo yesterday. Deputy Constable L.D.

WESTERN NEVADA STATE NEWS Indians Will Hang for Cruel Murder CARSON (Nev.), May 5 - No appeal for a rehearing has been filed in the Supreme Court by the attorneys for Johnnie and Ibapah, the two Montello Indians charged with murder, and they will probably be executed on June 5th, the time fixed by the Elko District Court, where they were convicted.
