DAMRoN'S STATEMENT.
He Says He Did Not Intend to De-
fend Ortega.


The HERALD mentioned recently
Judge Ross's statement that J. M. Dam
roE could not practice in his court. Mr..
Damron yesterday left the following
statement of his side of the story at the
HERALD Office
To the Public:
For two days past 1 have been
absent from the city, but before
leaving learned that on Monday
morning a Mexican by the name of Or
tega, had, upon his arraignment in the
United States district court, Judge Ross
presiding, stated that l had been re-
tanned as his counsel, and that he had
not seen me for several days. Such
statement, if made, was untrue, and
these are the facts; About four weeks
ago this man Ortega, and one -oto,
consulted me as TO habeas
corpus proceedings, in order to pro-
cure their release because of the al
legged illegally of their commi ment.
Investigated the matter, became con-
vinced that their commitment was
Isillegal, but advised them to await the
action of the United States grand jury,
then In session, and if they were not in
dicted, it would be more satisfactory.
They were indicted, however, and i'm
mediately upon learning the fact | re-
turned the retainer to the jailor from
whom had received 1t, and on Satur-
day last notified them to employ counsel
to defend them. Through two different
interpreters told this man Ortega l
would not represent him in the case, if
indicted, but would sue out habeas
corpus proceedings, after indictment if
they desired, (Which they did not) and
so the matter ended. | am satisfied
they did not understand 1 was repre-
senting them on their arraignment.
From credible authority am also in
formed that Judge Ross remarked from
the bench, in connection with this same
case, that l would not be allowed to
practice in his court.
shall not undertake to impeach his
assumed preiogative in this respect,
but am content with knowing that l
have never yet asked him for that priv
ilege.
Some years ago was licensed to prac-
tice in the United States circuit court
of California and the United States dis
trict court at San Francisco, but so far
have had no line of business which
called me before Judge Ross. However,
we must all agree that he is to be COM
mended for his stern caution in main
tanning and protecting the purity of the
bench and bar, and especially for his
manly wisdom in taking judicial notice
of my unfitnes. to practice in his court.
1 only wish / could be let alone.
j. M. DAMRoN.
We, the undersigned, hereby state
that we interpreted from Spanish to
English and from English to Spanish in
consultations between j. M. Damron
and the two prisoners, Ortega and Soto,
at Mr.. Damron's request, and that he
was not employed to defend these men
if indicted, but was retained by them in
a contemplated habeas corpus proceed
ing and in that only.

Mr.. S. A. Waldron was drawn as a
term trial juror and served as such from
April 10 to July 13, 1871, and claimed
constructive mileage as to custom, which
the board refused to pay.
Mr.. Waldron has brought suit against
the county to get decision on the law
as to the right of the board to pay con.
structive mileage, claiming that the GUS
tom is illegal and that many thousands
of dollars have been paid out of the
county moneys without sanction of law.

NOT IN IT.

The Daily journal squelched by Judge
Shaw.
In the action of the Journal Publish
ing company against Delinquent Tax
Collector Whitney. for writ Of man
damus regarding the publication Of the
delinquent tax list, Judge Shaw yeater-
day sustained the demurrer of the de-
fendant, and denied the writ. Judge
Shaw's opinion was as follows:5
Section 3766 provides for two differ
ent things. One of them is the publica-
tion, and the other is the expense of the
publication. Taking the two sections,
3764 and 3766, together, it appears that
the expense Of the publication is mat
ter of no concern to the delinquent tax
payer. It is charged to the county, 80
that he cannot complain, whether it is
Q great sum or q small sum. The ques-
ton then, how much he would have to
pay for the publication of the delinquent
tax list, is matter of interest exclu-
sively to the county and to the board OF
supervisors as the governing officers oi
the county. 1t is, I think, q matter that
is a portion of the scheme of county gov.
ernment. It is true it was found orig
inally in the political code in the por.
ton providing for the collection of taxes,
but large portion of the machinery fol
the collection OF taxes is q matter oi
county and not state concern.
Now, in the county government bill,
the legislature has provided another
scheme for determining the amount
that shall be paid by the county for the
variOus kinds of advortiginQ which. O1
course, includes the advertising OF de-
linquent tax lists. They have attempt
cd to, and have, legislated upon that
entire subject. think that supercedes
any provisions that appear in the assess
ment chapter OF the Political Code. &c
far as it affects the county; and that
subdivision % of section % of the coun'
ty government bill supersedes and re-
peals that portion of section S766, which
provides how the amount to be paid
for the publication of the list shall bt
determined. One says it shall be de
termined by letting it to the lowest bid

THE PEPPER TREE DETECTIVE

He Makes . Report Twenty Feet
Long.
Have you ever heard Of an official
connected with the police Office whose
official title is the ''pepper tree detect
ive?" No? Well there is such . man,
snd his name is J. T. Mcguire. He
doesn't go around disguised as Old
Sleuth, the Same as the other VidocQs
on the force, but rides around town on
nice little horse. He is the man that
knocks at the front door and frightens
the women folk after you have gone to
your store or Office, because the fact
that he wears brass buttons makes I'M
sophisticated females believe that he
comes from the morgue, the Jail or tho
court with various notices Of deaths,
accidents, tax payments to be made, or
with warrants of arrest. Yet his buei-
ness is much more inoffensive. Mcguire
has q very insinuating and musical
brogue which he artfully softens when
he tells you that the branches of your
pepper or other trees in the garden are
trespassing on the sidewalk and hang
ing down too low for the comfort
OF pedestrians. Nobody knew what an
amount of work Mcguire accomplished
during the month until Sergeant Jeffries
notified him to prepare his report. In
accordance with the order the pepper
tree detective appeared at the police
station yesterday afternoon with roll
of paper which, when unfolded, meas
ured twenty feet in length. This was
closely written upon, and was his re-
port.
To the horrifed sergeant, who queried
what be should do with the dog -goned
thing, Mcguire replied that he believed
Jeffries had better have it recorded, but
this his superior would not hear of, say
ing that he didn't intend to spend his
whole months salary to have Maguire's
improvements in the pepper-tree line
perpetuated for the coming generatione.

THE WOMAN IN GRAY.
SHE WORE A VEIL AND APPEARED
TO BE HANDSOME.
She Was Looking for Some One On
Spring street-An Episode Which
Was Full Of Mystery.

Numerous people along Spring street,
between First street and the plaza, were
much mystified yesterday afternoon by
the appearance of mysterious woman
in gray, who walked up and down the
street on the west side in manner that
attracted immediate attention. She
was dressed all in gray, and wore
thick veil which completely hid her
features. Her figure appeared to be
that of young woman, and if her face
corresponded to it she must have pre-
sented q handsome appearance when
unveiled.
She had purse in one hand, and her
other was kept closely in her pocket, az
if she had tight grasp on revolver.
She would stop as she paced slowly
along the street and look behind her.
Then she would 60 ahead, and
not a single person in front Of
her on either side of the street
escaped her glance. One gentleman,
who was standing near the entrance to
the Jones block, after seeing her pass up
and down five OF six times, thought she
might be looking for somebody and
stepped up to her and asked her if he
could assist her. She froze him with an
ancient mariner sort OF glance from
behind her thick veil, and said signifi-
cantly: 1T am looking for anyone,
sir, shall find him." The would-be
assistant fell back abashed, and the
woman continued her walk. At last
she disappeared about s O'Clock, and
was not seen again. During the progress
of her curious movements great many
people observed her, and people stopped
and watched her with gaping curiosity.
