In the Superior Court all the depart
ments except No. l were engaged in
calling the civil term trial calen-
dar. The number of cases is
much smaller than there were
called last summer, showing that the
docket is getting cleared up.
In Department /, the case of the peo-
pie against w. G. Chormicle and w. A.
Gardiner, of Castac canon, charged with
the murder of two men came up, and
Thursday was set as the time to plead.
In the case of the people against G. c.
Jaxtheimer, tomorrow is set to plead.
H. Chanaron, the man who robbed the
Kiefer liquor house on North Main street,
was sentenced to years in San Quentin.
Manuel Balardez, who tried to shoot
Mrs. Graham and her sister for refusing
to marry him, was sentenced to 2 years
at San Quentin.
The case of the people against Felipe
Chavez for the murder of Charlie Glass
is on trial. Chavez was tried for this
crime few weeks ago and the jury dis
agreed. The story is too familiar to need
repetition.
In the United States Court Avery
Clinton was examined on charge of
sending obscene letters through the
mails to Charlotte Shells, of Saticoy,
and to her father and mother. George
Champion, postmaster at Newhall,
identified the letter as having passed
through the mails. The girl and her
father testified to the receipt of the let
ter sent to the girl through the mails.
The defendant went on the stand
and identified the letter and the
signature as his and confessed that he
sent it. He made the statement that he
was not in his right mind when he wrote
the letter, that he was suffering from
extreme vexation, disappointment and
distraction, or he would not have writ
ten as he wrote The inference seemed
to be that he was in love with the girl
and had been refused. The examination
was before Commissioner Van Dyke,
who held Clinton in the sum of 81 900 to
stand trial. He is in Jail awaiting trial
Olin Welborn, Esq, of San Diego, was
admitted to practice in this court on
motion of J. S. Chapman, Esq.
In the case of H. D. Harrison against
Peter Ulrichs, the Las Bolsas cases, an
order was entered by stipulation that
the writ of error sued out be withdrawn,
and that no further writ of this nature
will be asked for, and that the costs be
assessed as agreed upon.
