An AnsWer.

Los ANGELES, CAL, July 80, 1888.
EDITORS HERALD:-In your issue of
this morning, "citizen" takes exception
to the granting of franchise for an
electric street railroad on New High and
Buena Vista streets on the grounds that
the cars of such road would interfere
with public traffic by frightening horses
am told that the Julien Electric System
to be introduced on the streets referred
to, by gentleman who has only lately re-
turned from Europe and has seen these
cars in operation in Brussels, Berlin
and Paris, that they are not only a COM
plete success mechanically and CONNER
cially, but that they are not Objectionable
to horse traffic, being in that respect far
superior to the cable system, which from
its dangerous slot and noisy cable and
grips are a standing menace to the
safety of any person driving over the
streets on which they are laid. This gen.
tleman has frequently ridden on the JUL
len Storage Battery Carsin Brussels and
Belgium (from which city he has Just re-
turned to Los Angeles) and he says that
they are the incest, cleanest, most noise-
less and in every way the best car he
has ever rode on. The largest portion of
the street car system of Brussels is oper-
ated by these cars and the public could
not be induced to go back to the old and
slow coach horses. Yours respectfully,
BUENA VISTA STREET.

A BAD FALL.
A Man Found Insensfble Under a
Window.


Window.
Yesterday morning just about dawn
Officer Bellue was summoned to q lodg-
ing house at 176 East First street to take
care of man who had apparently been
subjected to some very rough treatment.
He was lying in the hallway almost
naked, but covered with sheet. He was
groaning and almost insensible from
pain, his face mass OF bruises and cuts.
A hack was summoned and the man
conveyed to the station, where medical
care was given him. His feet were both
of them found to be injured, the left one
badly broken in the instep. His face is
cut in several places and his nose deeply
gashed. One eye had evidently re-
ceived a bad blow for it was
nearly closed. All day long the poor
fellow lay on his cot at the City Hospital,
groaning in considerable pain and unable
to give clean account of himself or how
he came to be in such condition. He
says he came from San Luis Obispo and
is a plasterer by trade. That he was not
drunk yesterday nor was he attacked by
anybody. He says he thinks he walked
out of window but he cannot remember
how or where. The man was found first
by the keeper of the lodging house, an
engineer, Gordon by name. At 7:3O in
the morning when he came out of the
house to go to his work at the
Temple street cable road en-
gine house he saw the man
lying in the front yard short distance
from the house and almost directly un.
der the window, insensible and, as he
supposed, drunk. He dragged him into
the house and left word with an officer as
to what he had found. The house had
been noisy the night before and sus-
picions of foul play naturally occurred to
the officer, but there appeared to be no
evidence Of any importance on this point.
The nature of the mans hurts would
strongly suggest the theory that he rose
in his sleep, climbed out Of the window
and fell to the ground, striking in some
way on his feet and face. When he re-
covers himself sufficiently to make a
statement the matter will be carefully in
vestigated.

THE LUCAS CASE.
Test tlmOny for the Prosecution Still
Being Taken.

Testimony for the Prosecution Still
Being Taken.
In the trial of A. j. Lucas for receiving
stolen goods the day was spent over the
testimony of Detective Harris. He told
the story of how he had learned from
Elton, after his arrest, OF the nefarious
partnership which existed between him
and Lucas. Obtaining a search warrant
he went in company with Detectives
Metzler and Whipple to Lucas office and
searched for the property which Elton
had described as having been stolen by
him and turned over to Lucas for safe
keeping and subsequent sale. Lucas
declared that the articles would be found
in the safe marked ''stolen property"
but when discovered they bore no such
mark. They then drove to tue residence
of Lucas and found his wife there and
some other lady. Lucas sent letter by
them warning her against resisting
the search. She produced various
specified articles, declaring that Ell
ton had given them to her. The
witness in company with Detective Metz
ler had taken Elton from jail, and after
hllh W 1-uCdo OliiCO 81 ODtb Liz
could get his bearings, for he did mo-
know the streets, they had visited with
him a number of houses where lie pliec
his trade as sneak thief.
The cross-examination was long anc
searching, but did not materially altel
the framework of the nara ion. The
Sheriff and the Justice of the l'eace, who
we're concerned in the arrest and convic
ton of Elton at San Rafael under the
name of George Moore, were placed upor
the stand by the defense, and testified t.
that transaction.
In his effort to clear himself Lucas ha.
found it necessary tn make public as
sault outside of the courtroom on the
character Of some of the witnesses for tht
prosecution, and to this undertaking {
morning paper has given assistance by
loaning its columns for the publication
of various letters. The scheme excitec
much unfavorable comment in police cir
cles.
