that be suspected a servant girl in bi.
employ was in league with his one If";
H
mics, the Tenderloin dive keepers, in
a plot to‘ poison him, former Sheri
Matthew E. O'Brien. who has been
prominent in anti-saloon campaigns
throughout the state recently, was in. ', ,
conference yesterday with the police.
Mr. O'Brien caused the. arrest of Julia
Ramplett. a comely yottng domestic.
on a charge of theft, but. told the po»
lice afterwards he was afraid the girl
might be in a plot to poison him.
The statements of Mr. O'Brien to
the police are most. sensational, in
view of the prominence which he has
gained in conducting a prohibition
movement. and by reason of the fact
that he has made wholesale enemies
among dive-keepers and saloon keep-
ers in this and other cities in the
state. . '
The police are inclined. howcvcr. to
scout the poison theory. advanccd by, .

tho police and the arraignment of thin

police headquarters. The case was
to have been called in city court yes;
tertlay, but as Mr. O'Brien was ttol
present, It was continued. The Ramp
leti. girl. who is about 19 years old. was
arrested at the home of Mr. O'Brien.
1838 Park avenue. late Sunday by l’o
liceman Lundberg. on complaint of the
former sheriff. .
The latter alleges that lye found in"
the girl's possession a dress suit case
packed with articles belonging to him
and to Mrs. O'Brien. which the domes
tic had gathered together apparently
preparatory to taking flight. .
She was closely questioned by Sup
erintsndent Birmingham and Captain
Arnold. She told the ofllcers that she
‘had gone to work for Mr. O'Brien
about two weeks ago from a local car
ploymcnt bureau.
' The girl said that she had been Riv-
on notice she would not he needed af
ter this week, because the O'Brien:
were going to Wilmington. Fearing.
she salt], that perhaps she might not
get her money. Miss Ratnplett told thr
police she secreted articles she found
around the hottsc intending to keep
them in lieu of compensation for her
services. When told of the story of
Mr. O'Brien that he feared she was
trying to poison him, the girl said the
stall-mum was absurd. ,
Mr. O'Brien. in telling of. his fears
to the police, said he had reached the
conclusion several days ago that
something he had taken had been
"doped" by the servant girl. Hc then
conceived the idea that perhaps some.
of his enemies had conspired with
the. girl to get him out of the way. He
did not make. any spccific charg
against the girl on the poison theory.
but said she was a mystery which he
would like to have solved,
Up to this time thcrt- is no evidence
in the hands of the police to .lncrimi-
nai'e the girl in a plot to poison tin-

now in use are. solid wood and very
heavy, unwieldy and cumbersome and
that to place truss ladders on the
truck would reduce. the weight from
i;ooo to 1.200 pounds. and that it
would be much more easily hunted and
that the ladders could bc mttch more
caslly handled by the firemen.
The cost of the new ladders would
probably be about $350. The truss
ladders are about httlf the weight of
the ones at present in use. The mat-

it is probable the Council will vote to
secure the ladders.
