Mr.. w. w. Robinson, who was
admitted TO the bar few days ago,
has made quick work of his first
case, On Friday the duty was as
signed to him by the court of de-
Tending Jose Walcuf, an, Indian,
indicted under the name of Jose
Cabazon for the murder of another
Indian named Cristoval, at Old
Los Nietos, in September last.
The accused, who was arraigned
to plead yesterday afternoon,
stated that he did not know any
thing about the murder, except
that he and three other Indians got
drunk, and in the morning one of
the Indians was dead, and one of
the party said that he had
killed the deceased in a fight dur.
ing the night; he (WalcuO sup.
posed he killed the man, but did
not know. Mr.. Robinson, who had
been told the story, advised his
client to plead guilty to man
slaughter which, with the. consent
of the District Attorney, who said
he would have suggested the same
course, lie did. He was then SEN
fenced to the States Prison Tor. one

Mr.. Allen, the bluo-ribbon agita-
tor, visited San Gabriel yesterday
and there made the oldest and at

Dohi Eulalia de Cullen, who, lis
claimed, is the Oldest woman in the
world and Is said to be 143 years
old, took the Murphy pledge and
donned the blue ribbon. She was
very affectionate toward Mr.. Allen,
and. forgetting maidenly reserve,
threw her arms around him and
kissed him. In the interests Of
truth, Mr.. Allen says he must ad-
NIT that her kiss was rather def
cient in unetuOusness. 1t Is TO be
hoped that the lady will be true to
her pledge through all the tempta-
tions that .beset tho youth OF our
land. as s.
