The witness said there was monev
there, and told him that it wouId
be necessary for him to ha
properly identified before il wos
delivered. Pearley then said he was 3
stranger in Los Angeles, and did not
know whether he could find anv one to
doso. After some further conversation
the defendant produced a message dated
''The Needles, z: :23 '9l," which read AZ
follows: Moody, Los Angeles. Money
w. F. Co. on No. 3. Don't get full. M.
and M, and also showed the witness a
Wells Fargo company receipt for $45. on
which the name of Moody was written.
The witness, however, learned from
Billy Gooding, one OF his fellow clerks.
who knew W. A. Moody, that the de,
fendant was not the person he pretended
to be, and when Pearley came back he
was informed that he could not get the
money until the next morning, as it had
been sent up to the main Office.
! w. Il, Goss, a brakeman in the en-
ploy of the Southern Pacific company
testified that he had met Peariv at
Mojave. The same day he came to the
city with the defendant in caboose.
On Friday night he met Pearley again
in restaurant on San Fernando street
and the latter asked him to 20 down to
the Arcade depot and identity him so
that he could get some money, saving
that his name was G. S. Moody. The
! witness accompanied Pearley, but failed
to identity him, because he was not him
self known there.
Detective Will Smith told how he ar
rested Pearley at Ell Monte on Sunday.
The defendant at the time denied
all knowledge of the trans
action. On Monday, however, the wit
ness and Detective Bowler interviewed
the defendant in his cell at the city Jail,
when he admitted that he had erased
his own name from the Wells. Fargo re-
ceipt and substituted that of G. S.
Moody, for the purpose of Identification
As for the original message he sent to
The Needles, the defendant admitted
that he had returned to the First street
depot on Thursday evening, while the
night operator, whom he knew, was on
duty, and under cover of assisting him,
had stolen the message from the files in
the drawer. He denied, however, that
he wrote it himself and eaid first that a
fruit dealer on First street did it, and
subsequently that Goss did it. 1t was
found among his papers with about
twenty or thirty blank telegraph forms.
The defendant introduced no testi-
mony, and as soon as the prosecution
rested their case the court held the de-
| fendant to answer.

ARRESTED FOR MURDER.
A YOUNG MAxICAN SUPPOSED TO
HAVE KILLED A CHINAMAN.
Deputy Sheriff Henry Russell Makes an
Important tArrest--SherifG Gibson Solves
the Ballona Murder Mystery.

Last Thursday Chinese vegetable
peddler was found murdered near Bal
Iona. The general theory was that the
celestial was killed for his money while
returning from Redondo to his ranch.
At the inquest held last Friday, DR..
Kannon testified that the deceased had
died from gun shot wound in the
head. The Chinaman presented a
CHASTITY appearance on account of the
gun being fred very close to his person,
the shot lacerating him in horrible
way.
At the inquest William B. Sanford tes-
titled that ON the day of the shooting he
had met couple of young men near
Ballona armed with shotguns, and that
they appeared to be under the influence
of liquor.
Sheriff Gibson has been working on
the case since the matter was first re-
ported, and as result Deputy Sheriff
Henry Russell yesterday arrested a
Young Mexican named Antonio Masias
on the charge OF numbering the China
man. Masias was lodged in the county
Jail last night, and the officers report
that they have strong case against
him. He is one of the two men seen by
the witness who testified at the coroner's
inquest.
A knife and purse belonging to the
dead Chinaman was found on the per-
son of the arrested man. He claims,
however, that he bought them from an
other man.
The prisoner is very young, and main
tains his innocence.
The point which will go strong
against Masias, if he is positively iden-
titled as one of the men seen on the day
of the murder by Sanford, is that the
wounds were inflicted by shot such as
is used by a hunter.

far below range from the works on the
crest Finally the brink was reached,
bayonets were lowered, and with savage
cry the line swept forward up to and, in
places, across the barricade. Then was
another memorable fifteen minutes of des-
perate, frenzied action, blows with bayo-
nets and the butts of rifles freely given and
received.
The heat was intense, so that officers on
horseback were FRUSTRATED, and sunstroke
laid out many gallant fellows whom tine bull
let's spared. The lieutenant colonel of the
Sixteenth, the adjutant and two captains
were wounded in the charge. After driv-
ing Cleburne out, Forces men fortified the
hill, and before the day ended repulsed
four distinct efforts on the part of Gle
burne's men to retake it. al
The next day, July 90 when the Con-
federate commander, Hood, made his IA
nous second sortie against Sherman's lines,
Forces brigade was again put on the de-
fensive to hold Bald Hill, as it is known to
history. Strange to say, the defense was
made at times by the Wisconsin men
standing back to back. The Confederates
broke through the lines of one corps and
swept along the works lengthwise, taking
Bali Hill both front and rear. Like bees
robbed of their hive, it's said, the Con-
federates swarmed around that hill, surg
ing up in front only to be hurled back,
wien column on the rear took it up and
shared the same fate.
Four times Forces men turned from
front to rear, and vice versa, in their
works, and at last changed direction to
meet daring assault on the flank that
swept everything before it, batteries and
all, until it reached Bald Hill. In meeting
this last assault the Sixteenth and its COM
panion regiment, the Twelfth Wisconsin,
side by side, received the enemy at short
range with volleys that checked their inn
petuous rush even at the very parapets SO
dearly coveted.
In these two days at Bald Hill the Six.
tenth lost 25 killed outright, SO wounded
and II missing, the deaths amounting in
the end to 43. Thus in the three battles,
Shiloh, Corinth and Bald Hill, the total
dead was 1856; in all other engagements II,
making 147 in all. The killed and wounded
In it's whole career numbered 466. For
o regiment that fought only in the west,
where great battles were fewer than in the
east, the Sixteenth made noble record.

federates fell back. Very soon however
re-enforcements reached them, and for
hours the battle ragged about that thicket,
and the southerners aptly named it the
Hornets Nest"
All the energies of the soath were con-
centrated there for the time, for PreEtiss'
division would have to be wiped out before
the Confederate line of battle could sweep
forward. Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston re-
ceived his death wound while inspiring
renewed attacks on Prentiss' last strong
hold. Grant visited the line there and saw
the heroic efforts OF Prentiss' men to cope
with the enormous odds in the field against
them.
In the first assault the Confederates
marched boldly through the fringe of
wood toward the thicket, and only learned
what a magazine of death shots was
planted there when the Union bullets began
to zip and strike. Then, seeing what they
had stirred up, they cried out Hornets
NestP and retired. Again and again the
