Getting Jury To Try Hasse

Getting Jury To Try Hasse
Attorneys are Very Careful in Selecting Talesmen
The trial of Otto L. Hasse, charged with presenting false and fraudulent claims to the county for stationery, was continued this morning before Judge Melvin and the work of securing a jury was taken up where it was left off yesterday. Twelve jurors were examined yesterday and enough more examined today, so that at noon five jurors had been accepted by both sides. They are Lewis Selby, B. Fassier, M. J. Christianson, John Dickie, and Adolph B?tiesen.
The questions are taking a wide range owing to the fact that not only are the jurors being asked as to whether they have had personal relations with Hasse himself or any of the attorneys interested in the case, but also whether they know any of the county officers who may be called as witness and whether if the officers swore one way and Hasse the other they would give his testimony the same weight they would give theirs.
Juror Rode, of Fruitvale, was excused because he said that he had known County Superintendant of Schools T. O. Crawford for nearly a quarter of a century, and that if he said a thing he would believe it. As Superintendant Crawford has already testified before the Supervisors and Grand Jury that his bills were altered after his signature had been placed on them, Rode was hardly acceptable as a juror.

To Investigate Her Death
Body of Mrs. Charles Mathews Exhumed; Inquest Tonight
Coroner Mehrmann will hold an inquest this evening on the remains of Mrs. Charles T. Mathews, who came to her death ten days ago at the Central Sanitarium as the result of a criminal operation.
Owing to the suspicions of the husband the body was exhumed two days after it was buried.
Dr. C. H. Wilder, who was treating the woman, failed to notify the coroner of the death of the woman, and secured a burial permit without assigning the true cause of death.
Dr. Wilder states, however, that he merely treated the deceased after the operation was performed by a Dr. Davis, in San Francisco.
His object in not reporting the matter to the coroner at the time of the death was, he said, to avoid notoriety.

HE IS INSANE
George Orio, a Italian, who was examined before Judge T. W. Harris this morning for insanity and allowed his freedom, no sooner had gotten outside of the courtroom than he began tearing his hair and attempted to butt his brains out against the side of the Court House and had to be arrested to keep him from taking his life. He will undergo another examination tomorrow morning and will probably be sent to an asylum.
Orio some days ago jumped into the Tidal Canal at Alameda and was rescued only to demonstrate the fact of his insanity in other ways. He was taken to the Receiving Hospital and charged with insanity.

Mrs. L. Ulrich Says She Was Driven Out of Home
From: The Oakland Tribune, 03 January 1906
Mrs. L. Ulrich Says She Was Driven Out of Home
Leopoldene Ulrich, wife of Otto Ulrich of Berkeley, has begun divorce proceedings against him and declares that she has suffered such cruelty at his hands that she can no longer live with him. They were married on June 14, 1901, and at that time she had a little girl 4 years of age, the result of a former marriage.
She states that on July 3 her husband threw a beer bottle at her and kicked her little child and chased her out of their home. Six days later, on his promise to treat her as a wife, she returned to him, only to be again threatened and abused.
In October, he threatened her with a cleaver, struck her child and applied vile epithets to her. In November, he threatened to kill her with a knife, and then make an end of himself.
In December last he broke the furniture in the house and refused to let her or her child get out of bed until 3 p.m., and on Christmas Day, he drove her out of the house and told her to get a divorce. She says she has often been obliged to flee to a neighbor's for protection, and that the incidents enumerated are but a few of the many times he has beaten her.
She says there is a cottage standing in their joint names which was purchased with her separate money, and which they live in as their home, and this she asks to have set aside to her. He earns $50 a month, she says, and she asks for sufficient to enable her to live.
