D. B. Molton. who was arrested by
the police for alleged assault upon a
girl, was dismissed from custody yes-
terday at his preliminary examination
before Justice A. W. Marion owing to
a lack of evidence sufficient to con-
vict. Molton was able to make a
good showing as to his character and
proved an alibi. The case, it is
thought, is one of mistaken identity,
as the colored man had been pointed
out to the police as the person
wanted.
Rev. F. T. Walker, in a communi-
cation to this paper, criticizes the ar-
rest of Molton as a great injustice,
stating that the colored people who
have lived in this city for 40 years
have never been guilty of such a
crime.
Rev. Walker gives Molton a splen-
did recommendation, saying that he
has held himself above reproach and
charges that the officers attempted to
sweat him on the night of his arrest,
keeping him in a closed jitney from
9 o'clock until 11 in an effort to se-
cure an acknowledgement of the
crime.—Bakersfield Morning Echo.

Mrs. Maggie Toles. a native* of
Mississippi, came to Oakland aboi't
three years ago. She died last Fri-
day. July 9tli. at the County Infirm-
ary. where she had been a patient
sufferer with dropsy for about three
months. During the period of her ill-
ness. both at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. W. E. Porter and at the hos-
pital. th^ attention nad care she re-
ceived from her many new friends
was remarkable. The people of the
North Oakland Baptist Church, of
which Mrs. Toles was a member front
the first week she and her husband
arrived in Oakland, deserves much
credit for the kindness shown this
newcomer, who in less than a year in
Oakland was left a widow by the
death of her husband. Though not
a member of any of the secret socie-
ties about the bay. she made herself
friendly with the people as she came
in contact with them, and thereby
gained many real staunch friends who
proved their friendship to her in time
of need. The writer refrains from
attempting to mention them in this
brief sketch, for they are many. The
funeral services were held at her
church Sunday at 3 P. M. The pas-
tor, Dr. G. C. Coleman. used the
words for a text chosen by her for
her funeral. The doctor was at his
best. The choir sang sweetly. Messrs.
M. A. Reisc and Houston sang a duet
and Mrs. M. Southerland sang "Face
to Face." The pall bearers were the
dcacons. Interment was Sunset Cem
etery. Among those who sent floral
pieces were Sirs. M. Williams, Mrs.
William A. Thomas. Miss Marie
Marshall. Mrs. M. Dove, Mr. and Mrs
J. C. Davis. Sister Lindy, Sister
Birdie, and the Missionary, Ladie
Aid and Young People's societies of
North Oakland Baptist Church.
