HIS MOTHER-IN-
THE LAWYERS PLEA FOR THEO
DORE S. SHAW.
He is Acquitted of the Charge of Assault
ing HIS Wife-The Testimony Very
Conflicting.

Theodore s. Shaw, the attorney
charged with committing battery upon
his wife, was yesterday found not guilty
by jury before Judge Owens. This
case has attracted more than ordinary
interest. Deputy District Attorney
Diehl conducted the prosecution and G.
G.. Stephens and Attorney Grant repre-
sented the defendant. All the day was
occupied in hearing the testimony.
Mrs. Shaw, the pretty wife of the de-
fendant, related how her husband had
struck her when she came after her
child. Mrs. Christina MacLean, Mrs.
Maggie Murray, DIR. John Smith and DR..
A. Davidson testified for the prosecution.
The attorneys for the defence at this
stage of the proceedings made a motion
for acquittal, which was denied.
Samuel Hamilton, Lizzie Leonard,
Mrs. Esther Shaw, Mrs. w. A. Field,
Mrs. G. L. Field, Miss Eliza Geddes, A..
r. Fraser and H. G. Austin were put on
the stand by the defence.
w. L. Jeffries, Theodore Roberts, G..
Woodward, Mary A. Shaw and w. A..
Field testified in rebuttal.
The majority of the witnesses were
neighbors of the Shaws. The testimony
was very conflicting. Several of the
witnesses for the prosecution testified
that Shaw was drunk on the night of
the trouble. Several witnesses for the
defense testified that he was not drunk.
1t will be remembered that Shaw was
arrested for assaulting his wife on the
I'd day OF this month. There were
no witnesses. Mrs. Shaw swore that
her husband struck her when she came
in after the child, and that he was un-
der the influence of liquor. Mr.. Shaw
swore that he was not drunk, and that
he did not raise hand to his wife. The
evidence of the other witnesses was
irrelevant in regard to the actual assault,
as they came to the house when they
heard the screams of Mrs. Shaw.
Mr.. Diehl addressed the jury for IF
teen minutes, and referred to the at
tempt of the counsel to bring religion
into the issue, and drew the attention
of the jury to the fact that willful
touch in anger constituted battery and
that the defendants being drunk was
no palliation for the assault.
Attorney Grant followed in a FIVE
minute speech, and referred to the
mother-in-law as the wrecker of the de-
fendant's happiness and being response
BILE for all the trouble. "For over four
months she has been systematically at
work to wreck the home of this de-
fendant," dramatically exclaimed Law
yer Grant.
Attorney Stephens followed in very
humorous speech, in which he claimed
that the whole thing was a put up job
on the part of mother-in-law and wife,
and that the story came out in
order to provoke Shaw so that they
might secure better grounds for di-
vorce than Mrs. Shaw had at that time.
In short, he claimed that it was case
of too much mother-in-law.
The jury were out five minutes before
arriving at a verdict of not guilty.
The whole affair was most unfor-
tunate one, as the parties are all we'll
known in Los Angeles.

ATTRACTIONS AT THE Los ANGELES THEA
TER.
On Monday evening of next week,
April 9th. the people of Los Angeles
will have the pleasure of hearing the
famous Weber Concert company of Chi
cago. The Weber quartette, composed
Of Barnes, Andrew, Rogers and West,
is one OF the finest in existence. Anew
York paper speaks in the following
manner of Master Harry Dimond, the
greatest living boy violinist: Little
Harry Dimond scored a most pro-
nounced triumph; he played himself
straight to the hearts of his audience.
He is perfect little gentleman in his
manner, modest, unassuming and
manly; but when he touches the violin
is is with the confidence and power of a
master"
On Tuesday evening of next week,
April 2Sth, the second concert of the
week will be given at this popular thea
! ter. The Mendelssohn Quintette Club
Concert company will make their first
and only appearance in Los Angeles
