Tho Ventura Vendetta Arratxned
SAN BUENAvENTURA, March 80
The prisoners held on charges OF
the murder of II. Wallace Nor,
were arraigned this morning before
Justice r. G. Carlton sitting as {
Committing Magistrate. The Dis
trict Attorney stated that l.. G
Granger would appear as his Depu-
ty in the matter of the prosecution
for the reason that he (the District
Attorney had been engaged fol
the defense in the preceding
trial of McCart and considered
himself disqualified. Judge Gran.
ger said that he had accepted the
trust, and would endeavor faith
fully to represent the people.
Messrs. w. II. and 3. Il. Williams
also appeared for the prosecution.
The prisoners We're then brought
in. Churchill seemed quite wea k
and sick. Mr. Brooks, Of Hines &
Brooks, appeared for the defense
and asked that continuance be
granted until Monday next at ten
o'clock. The Court granted the re-
quest, it being agreed that the ex-
animation would then positively
go on. The statement now preva-
lent on the streets is that one Aus
tin Brown, a farmer on the Sespe
Rancho, had a dispute with Carries,
one of the prisoners, who threat
ened to kill him. Believing he
would execute his threats Brown
is said TO have divulged
all he had learned of the
assassination to the authoriti-
ties. Another party knowing
the particulars after the murder,
and now lying at the point of death,
IL also said Ito have made an ante
mOrtem deposition confirming
Browns story. These statements
do not come from the authorities,
but are generally believed, and Il
color of truth is given to them by
the fact that, on the night of the
arrests, Brown and his family left
their farm near the place of the
murder and moved into town.
