Charles Newman, the love prophet, whose spiritualist temple has been exposed by the District Attorney's Investigators, is to be filed by Mrs. Zadah Beyer, according to reports emanating from her Intimate friends yesterday. Mrs. Beyer was formerly employed by Newman.

After working ss secretary in the outer office of the temple for two months, Mrs. Beyer resigned her position six weeks ago. Her duties, she said, were to receive customers, to run errands and to distribute cards to prospective clients of the self-asserted spiritualist. Her small son, she said, was also employed to distribute cards. Letters sent to Newman and to which hef name was attached are now held by Dep.

Joos. The letters intimate that Mrs. Beyer and Newman had been very friendly, that she had expected to marry him and that he later dou-ble-crosxed her. One of the letters threatened exposure of Information she had unless a sum of money was given her. When asked about her asserted love for Newman, Mrs.

Beyer stated such an action as a breach of promise suit might be filed by her, but she had not Vet seen an attorney. It waa learned later that yesterday afternoon she visited a local attorney's office arid outlined her plans for the filing of the suit. 4 i. Chambeir Party Resting From Island Jaunts Latest messages from the Cham, ber of Commerce party en route home from Honolulu Indicate that the party is in good spirits. A radiogram received late yesterday by Federal Telegraph from Secretary Frank Wiggins of the Chamber reads as follows: "Capt.

John D. Fredericks sail, from Honolulu for the Orient on Saturday. Everybody resting after sightseeing and being entertained but able to hold card parties, mask ball and vaudeville features. We passed the S.S. City of Honolulu.

Hawaii-bound at 3 this morning. Fine weather." The message, dated Sept. 28, was received by the members of the board of directors at the regular meeting yesterday afternoon. BUT KITTY Mrs. James P.

Simmons, Who is also known as the "Modern Venus." Gambling Openly Carried on by Prisoners Official Report Tells of the Robbing of Corpse Conditions to be Called to Sheriff Eye i i There is open gambling mons the prisoners in the Jail. Those in charge know of it, and consent. Other irregularities, including the taking of articles of clothing from ths body of the slain Herbert Vox, the making trusties of felons the making of unauthorized Investigations by Jail attaches without reports, and "many other3," exist in the Jail. All this Dep. Clark charged last night in a written report filed after the closing of the Investigation of County Jail conditions.

"Suffice it to My," Clark's report reads, however, "there Is not sufficient evidence to warrant a criminal prosecution." The investigation was an outgrowth of the trial of Herbert Wilson, recently convicted of slaying Herbert Cox, his pal, in a Jail escape attempt. The investigation has now been terminated because of the publicity which has attended it, Clark reports. He says In part: "I have never believed in searching for violators of the -law with a brass band; and it seemed to me that the publicity given to the Investigation, if not absolutely fatal to the latter, at least placed such obstacles In the way of Irs prosecution as to render the expenditure of time upon it unwarranted. "In addition to the statements taken in my office there was testimony given under oath in the criminal prosecution above referred to which disclosed at least certain conditions on the part of the jail and certain conduct on part of the attaches thereor, which. In my Judgment, warranted criticism.

Again, no ueful purpose would be served by setting forth in detail that which fully appears in the transcript of the said cause. 'That gambling on the part of the prisoners has been openly carried on, with the knowledge and apparent approval of those in charge of the Jail, seems to be fully established; that articles of clothing, small in themselves and of no considerable value, were taken from the body of the deceased Herbert Cox, passed into possession of one of such attaches, and were not amongst the articles rrT'v4 tMfil seems fully established, although only shadowed In the evidence. "That many of the trusties are men who have been convicted of serious felonies, and that two of the trusties who have served during recent months had, prior to the.r incarceration in the County Jail, been convicted of a long series of felonies is fully disclosed by the Jail records and the records of Identification bureaus. "That attaches of the Jail having nothing to do with criminal investigations having embarked upon such investigations of their own volition, made no report to their superior officers or to anyone connected with the criminal branch of the sheriff's office or to anyone connected with the District Attorney's office, but concealed the results (if there were any) of their investigation from those ta-whom, above all others, they should have properly been communicated and disclosed them to their official superiors only after they had been placed upon the witness stand by attorneys for the defense is also fully established. "Not only thes-e but manv other minor irregularities, defects of judgment if not actual misconduct are discloyed.

These, however, are none of them of such nature as to warrant a criminal prosecution. I suggest that the facts in connection with these matters be placed fully before the sheriff, for his consideration, and that therewith the investigation be closed." i IN THE "TIMES" Newman, es he is known In lxs Angeles though he is remembered by scores of aliases stretching across the continent, is at liberty on $6000 ball, charged with contributing to the delinquency of Mrs. Lillian Aleen Hildreth, IS years old. Other charges will.be filed against him later, according to a statement Issued yesterday by Deputy Joos. Among the documentary evidence, original and certified copies, obtained by Deputy Joos are numerous "statements of satisfaction," specifying sums ranging from $50 to several thousand dollars for "satisfactory service" extended by Newman to his victims.

ORIGINAL confessions Also the District Attorney has original confessions given to Newman by several women. These confessions, relating Intimacy with men other than their husbands, the authorities contend, were kept in secret vaults by Newman. The love-prophet, the Investigators assert, received varied sums of money from the confessors as payment to withhold the confessions from the husbands of the victims. One of these confessions, dated "Santa Cruz, Dec 21, 1918." reads as follows: "I paid to Prof. Newman $900 for advlco he has given me, reference to Mr.

R. who I lovei when he was living and with whom I was intimate when he and I lived on the same farm in Visalia. I was of belief that he would leave "money when he died. I loved him more than I did rny husband. That is why I was intimate with Mr.

only because I loved him and thought I would marry him before he ha4 a chance to be dead."

"I see your surroundings are not very pleasant and your mind is of times greatly upset and worried pertaining to material matters, but the spirit says do not worry, all will be brighter in the near future. I now see a letter dropping before you. I see you quietly picking it up, tearing it open and as you place it before your eyes your countenance changes the meaning you are to receive news soon which will prove of vital importance."

DECIDES 'CASE Jurist Taught to Assume Woman's Virtue Clara Whipple Young Keeps ex-Husband's Property Exonerated of Misconduct, Fraud Charge i I BY ALMA WHTTAKER When the Judge withdrew Clam Whipple Toung was in hysteria. And the early training which Judge Hahn's mother inculcated in his youth had saved the day for the titlan-headed defendant in, the case. It was a dramatic case in Judge Hahn's court yesterday, potent with importance to divorcees and motion-picture people in general.

Suit was brought by James Toung, film director, former husband of Clara Kimball Toung and divorced husband of the defendant, to recovery certain properties and moneys given to Clara Whipple Young, defendant, while he had asuumed her to be a true and virtuous wife. FRACD CHARGED. Mr. Young's attorneys, Frank G. Tyrrell, Jefferson Chandler and Herman Roth, sought to prove that, in persuading their client to convey these properties and the sum of $2375 to her prior to the divorce proceedings which she brought against him last year, Clara Whipple Young had exercised conspiracy and fraud, trading upon her husband's belief in her virtue, and with intent to lead an improper life thereafter.

Attorney Tyrrell conceded that his client had no evidence to offer of improprieties on the part of Mrs. Young prior to the divorce proceedings, but he offered arguments tending to gain permission to offf-r considerable evidence of immoral conduct ten months later in May and June of this year to support the plaintiff's assumption of previous fraud. It was at this juncture that Judge Hahn remembered his mother. REMEMBERS MOTHER "It has been my training ever since my youth as taught by my mother, and my years of lefal experience as a lwayer and on the bench have not changed it, to always assume the virtue of every woman. And only when satisfactory and convincing proof is presented against assumption of virtue, will I make anv judgment of lack of virtue, said His Honor.

Attorney Tyrrell, formerly a minister of the gospel, famous as a toaatmasted, and speaking in that perfectly rounded Engliuh tor which he is noted, essayed to guote from weighty legal authorities to gain permission to present tne evidence of improprieties which the affidavits declare took place in May and June of this year, naming Robert Russell, as companion in guilt.

WAS OPPOSED TO SOT "I didn't want to start any ao- tlon against Herb, but mother insisted on pushing the suit," she said.

"The publicity that I have received forced me to leave my husband after we had been married three weeks. I have seen Herb Just four times In the last two years, twice in the East and twice out here. I do not hats him, neither do I love him. I never forget him, even though he has made a dent in my Life thet can never be erased.
