CRUSHED TO DEATH.
The Inquest on the Body of Carlos
Fachinetti,

Coroner Weldon held an inquest
yesterday morning on the body of Carlos
Fachinetti, native of Italy, 4S years of
age, who was accidentally killed on
Monday afternoon, near Redondo, on
the Southern California railroad, by the
caving in of a bank at which he was
working.
From the testimony taken before the
jury of inquisition it was learned that
Fachinetti was loading fiat car with
sand, dug from bank some thirty feet
high. AS the upper end of tl.e bank
was slightly overhanging, the foreman
of the gang warned the Italian repeat
edly OF his danger, but he did not
apparently realize it, as he continued to
undermine the bank with his long
handled shovel. About ten minutes
past two loud noise was heard. accom-
panied by cloud of dust, and turning
to the place where Fachinetti had been
working, his companions saw pile of
sand sufficiently large to load three or
four cars. Under this, and crushed
against the fat car he had been loading,
they found the italian dead, when they
dug him out several minutes later.
The jury returned verdict to the ef-
feet that the deceased came to his death
from Injuries received by the caving in
of a bank of dirt on the Santa Fe rail
road, near Redondo, while shoveling
dirt Gu a car"

A PALPITATOR
Is What the Physician Calls Cousin
COINS Heart.

COnnFS Heart.
The trial OF L. B. Cohn, who is sued
by the county of Los Angeles, and which
bad been continued once before, was
commenced yesterday afternoon before
Judge Van Dyke, in department four.
When the last continuance was granted,
First Cousin Cohn was sick, and the
trial was then postponed upon, the pay
ment by the pawnbroker of 500 wit
ness fees. The defense wished the case
continued once more yesterday, because
First Cousin Cohn was on the sick list
again. AS this did not work, a con-
tinuance was asked for by Mr.. Variel,
on the ground that S. NJ. White was
awaiting the verdict of the Jury in First
Cousin Edelman's case. This racket
also proved unavailing, and as a conse-
'quence the trial had to proceed. 1t seems,
by the doctors affidavit that Mr.. Cohn
is, troubled with palpitation of the heart.
If this unhappy victim of the narcotic
weed will persist in smoking, his heart
will palpitate until he dies, and his
'memory will continue to impair until
he won't be able to recollect his own
name nor where he lives. It is sad
case, which ought to be reported to the
anti tobacco journals. The county is
anxious to recover $2O62 which First
Cousin Cohn collected from the county
treasurer by means of those warrants
with which his relative Henry kept him
so plentifully supplied. A ruthless
grand jury has called them fraudulent
warrants, and perhaps the grand jury
knows. The case is being tried without
a Jury.

The Company Settling Damages-An In
vestigation Going On.
SALEM, Ore, Nov. 1S.-The railroad
commissioners resumed their investiga-
tion of the recent wreck on the Southern
Pacific. Manager Koehler was repre-
sented by counsel. Several witnesses
testified sustaining the company's
theory of criminal derailment.
A large number of witnesses were ex-
amined yesterday, among them Railroad
Commissioner Calvig. He had visited
the scene soon after the wreck occurred
and gave description of the work of
destruction. The opinions of the wit
nesses seemed to differ in regard to the
claim that rail had been misplaced
before the train came along. They saw
an extra rail lying by the track, but
there were also enough rails without it
to complete the track. Several wit
nesses said they had seen evidences of
this rail having been pried from the
ties with a crowbar. Other witnesses
testified that the timbers of the bridge
were in bad condition.
Manager Koehler succeeded in obtain
ing settlement in full for a number of
passengers injured in the wreck. The
prices for receipts in full to cover all
damages, are said to range from 500 to
$500,

LOS ANGELES IN 1T.
This City to Have a Big Baseball
Nine

Colonel Robinson and Henry Harris,
two of the leading lights of the Califor-
MIA Baseball league, arrived here yester-
day on tour of inspection. The Cali
fornia league will contain six clubs in
1901, and there is quite rivalry be-
tween several towns to get in. At the
present writing San Fra ncisco, San
Jose, Oakland, Sacramento and Los An
sgeles are sure to get in. The fight for
the sixth team is very pretty one be-
tween Stockton, Fresno and San Diego.
1t will be big thing for Los Angeles to
have team in the state league, and the
baseball enthusiasts in this city will not
keep their hands in their pockets when
money is required to secure team that
will worthily uphold the prestige of Los
Angeles.
EYES," said Colonel Robinson, "Los
Angeles is sure to be in the league, and
everything points that Marco Hellman
will secure the franchise, although moth
ing definite will be known until atterthe
meeting of the directors next month"
Both Messrs. Harris and Robinson are
OF the opinion that Los Angeles will be
one OF the best paying cities in the Cali
fornia league next season. The colonel
also informed the HERALD representative
that he will start for Southern California
next Saturday week, and will play at
Fresno on Sunday. Colonel Robinson
will pilot the Coronado team, and in
addition to the Oaklands will have
George Van Haltren and another eastern
professional. Lohman, of the Oaklands,
will catch for the Los Angeles club, and
with that exception the Colonels will
have most of their regular men.
The California league magnates went
north last night. Marco Hellman and
Ben Benjamin also go to San Francisco
the latter part of the week on business
connected with the Southern California
league.

HUNTING THE INDIAN.
The Sheriff's Posse Make a Deter
mined Effort.


The Indian who killed Mrs. Farmer at
Mint cai1on last week is leading the off
GERS pretty dance. Deputy Sheriff
Abila returned yesterday afternoon. He
stated to HERALD reporter that the
posse is constituted of Sheriff Aguirre,
the two Melrose boys, brothers of Mrs.
Farmer, Deputies Hammel, Villieios and
Brady, Thomas J. Mitchell, F. Mitchell,
and Weston.
These men have been on the trail since
Saturday. They have been all over Cap
itan and Placeritos cations, as we'll as on
every ridge, and through every wash,
gulch and cut for five miles around in a
northeast and soulherly direction from
Humphreys. This occupied the posse
up to Monday night. On yesterday
morning Aguirre, Melrose, Brady, Ham
mel and Villiejos started from the
Mitchell ranch, near Humphreys, to
search Mint canon, Dead Mans canon,
and then push their way to Elizabeth
lake and work back over the mountains
to Castac caf1on.
The trail of the murderer was followed
up TO Sunday,night to sheep camp in
Placeritos cailon. where can of flour
he had carried was found in deserted
cabin. On Monday morning the trail
was taken up, but soon lost, and had
not been found when Deputy Abila left.
There is very little chance OF the fell
lows escape, unless he should reach the
railroad and manage to board a freight
train.
The pursuit has been full of hardship
and danger, but has not been relaxed in
the least. The posse received great
amount of assistance and kind attention
from Messrs. Mitchell and Genier,
ranchers near Humphreys.

HERE'S RICHNESS.
A ROBBER LEGALLY LOOSED AND
GIVEN HIS PLUMBER
Because the Robbed Man Was Not in
Court-A Highway Plunderer Permit
ted to Keep His Swag.

John Voscoe, who was recently ar
rested at Burbank for highway robbery
by Justice Marshall, was yesterday dis
charged by the same magistrate, on the
ground that the complaining witness
was not present.
1t seems unfortunate that such mis-.
carriage of justice should result in
clear case. This man Voscoe, when ar
rested by Justice Marshall, confessed to
him his crime, and told the story to
several police officers. The Sill found
on his person he acknowledged was part
of the booty he had. robbed his partner
OF, at the muzzle of revolver.
Jailor Darcy yesterday received
through attorney Crawford, who de-
Tended Voscoe, an order from Justice
Marshall for the mans release, and for
the return of the Sill to him, which he
had by force of arms robbed a man of.
This is small case, but in its princi-
pie it is the same as the Damron Edel-
man, and other legal fiascoes, in that
through little technically self-con
fessed robber is not only discharged
from custody, but given legal possession
of the money he stole, and turned loose
again on the community. 1t is such law
as this that is producing feeling of the
most intense indignation among the peo-
pie, as well as feeling of outrage COM
mitted in the name of justice.
A law that turns loose self-confessed
robber and allows him to put back in his
pocket the proceeds of his crime, and 60
out of jail free man, without trial, evi-
dence or anything else, is travesty on
right and an absurdity on it's face, and a
feature calculated to bring the law, law
yers and courts to the level of sort OF
public bunco game, conducted by public
officials.
Justice Marshall stated to HERALD
reporter that according to the law he had
no other alternative than to discharge
the prisoner. No one who knows the
justice will question that statement OF
believe that he acted from any other
than the most conscientious conception
of his duty. 1t is the law and it's tech
nicalities which is to blame-technical
ties the only purpose of which is evasion.

NOT A SORCERER.
Serene Emeterio Discharged Yesterday
by Commissioner Van Dyke.

ny commissioner van Dyke.
Serene Emeterio, the Tule reservation
Indian who was accused of having caused
the death of Gull Charley, another Tule
Indian, by poisoning a bottle of wine
which the deceased drank, had his ex-
animation before United States Commits
sioner Van Dyke yesterday. Nothing
was introduced by the prosecution to
show that Emeterio had been guilty of
such crime. The stomach of deceased
had not been subjected to chemical
analysis, because it was perfectly empty
when removed from the body. The ac-
cusation of murder against Emeterio
must be ascribed to the superstition of
the Indians, who cannot be made to un-
derstand that person will die natural
death witoout the incantations of a sor-
cerer or medicine man. and partly, also,
to the hate they bare the defendant.
Commissioner Van Dyke, after hearing
all the testimony adduced by the United
States district attorney, discharged the
