Alameda, Cal., supply base pro
ject as proposed In the naval ap
propriation bill, came in for stiff
opposition today during debate
on the measure in tho senate.

lions of dollars," and said con

followed by a demand for a new

AGATE
i:
I y i . S 1- ... ..
J. w . Gruetter, assayist and clieinisi
of Agate, fell completely flat when
the state hoard of health report of
the analysis of the brain and stom
ach of Mrs. Minnie Uruetter was re
ceived by the county prosecutor's of
fice. ;t
This analysis showed that there
was no poison In tho stomach, other
than that contained In the embalm
ing fluid, and that a lesion of the
brain was found, which tends to back
up the first designation of the cause
of death as due to epilepsy. .
The conclusion In the official ro
port reads as follows:
"No poison was found In tho tis
sues ot Minnie Crueller save four
volutlte poisons present in the sam
ple of embalming fluid furnished. A
cerebral hetuorruge was found suffi
cient to explain the convulsive symp
toms and death." .
When this report was received late
yesterday Assistant County Prosecu
tor George Codding and John H. Cur
kin, attorney for Crueller, went be
fore Justice of the Peace Taylor,
where the former asked to have the
murder charge dismissed, which was
done at once, and Gruetter was then
released from the county jajl, when;
he had been a prisoner ever since his
arreBt on May 1 1 til, Ander $25,000
ball.
Gruetter was largely responsible
for his recent embarrassment, thru
the fact that it Is claimed he refused
to allow a post mortem examination
to be nftde on the body of his wife,
after her death early in May, al
though it was explained to him that
the cause wus not known by the at
tending physician and that the Kil
ter was somewhat puzzled over the
illness and death.
Then came James Ttomgardner, the
Josephine county miner and former
husband of Mrs. Gruetter, with his
request thut the authorities make a
thorough examination into the case
