THE GRAND JURY HEARD FROM
William Paul Indicted for Ille-
gal Registration.
Judge Clark Decides an Interesting
Commercial Case.
Proceedings in the Various Tribunals
Yesterday - New Suits Filed.
Notes of Cases in Court
Yesterday.

The grand jury was heard from yester-
day morning.
Three indictments. one of them for
illegal registration and the others pre-
sumably for similar offenses, are the
first fruits of their deliberations.
Shortly after court convened Foreman
S, w. Luitweiler and 10 members OF the
body filed into Judge Smiths court
room, very few spectators being present,
and made partial report, filing three
indictments, upon which the court Or
dered bench warrants to issue and fixed
the bail in each case at $4,000.
As it has been known that the grand
jury was investigating illegal registra-
tration cases it was believed that these
indictments were of that nature, and so
it turned out late in the afternoon, when
William Paul, one of the men indicted,
was arrested and put in the county Jail.
After the arrest HERALD reporter OBJ
tanned permission to see the indictment.
1t is quite long and recites in ponderous
peared before T. J. Gallagher, deputy
and registered with him, taking the
usual oath and that he swore falsely as
to his qualifications to register. The
allegation is that he swore that he was
naturalizsd at San Diego September Is,
1856, in the superior court, and had
since lost his certificate of naturaliza-
tion by the loss of trunk in San Fran
cisco, and that he would become an
elector in this county at the next sue
ceeding election, whereas the matters he
80 certified to were all false and untrue
to his knowledge.
1t was aecertained that Paul had been
an employe of the Union Ice company
of this city, and that Gallagher, who was
one of the outside deputies, called at the
company's Office and he was registered
along with others in the establishment.
1t is understood that he is a Republican.
The offense with which Mr.. Paul is
charged may be punished very severely.
In case of conviction he can be sent to
the penitentiary for a period OF from one
to IA years. The penalty prescribes no
fine, being imprisonment alone. The
defendant was unable to give the bond
fixed by the court.
After the indictments were filed Judge
Smith asked Foreman Luitweiler how
the grand jury was progressing in its
investigal ions. He replied that they
had all matters we'll in hand, and that
they hoped to make final report before
many days. They then retired to their
room, and proceeded with their deliber-
ations.

He Is Practising About Broadway and

Complaints are made that somewhat
wholesale dog poisoning has been going
on in the neighborhood around the
corners of Broadway and Sixth streets,
recently, and the owners of dogs are be-
coming considerably wrought up over
the matter.
J.E Calvin's dog. OF the coach species,
has been poisoned three times, the last
time yesterday, which finished him.
John Donovan has lost two dogs and two
cats in the last two weeks, and A. M.
Scott dog about IL days ago. If the
person or persons who have put out the
poison are found out they will be pretty
roughly treated.

THE SUPERVISORS.

Proceedings of the Board at Yesterdays
Meeting.
The board of supervisors set Novem-
ber 18th for hearing the application of
George Wallis for a saloon license at
Covfna.
The board adopted resolution in re-
gard to the judgment of Pascual Mar
quez for condemnation of right of way
for road in the Santa Monica district.
A jury in the superior court awarded
judgment to Marquee for $500. The
board declares the amount excessive and
as there is no real necessity for the high
way at this time, directs the district at
torney to abandon the case, and disal-
low the claim.

Sacramento to Los Angeles $50 at
$1.75 per $1000-$372.
II Mr.. Banbury did make shipment
of this magnitude by Wells-Fargo it
would have been an easy matter for him
to have secured special rate upon it.
The rate OF 81 75 per $1,000 shipped is an
open one to all shippers. But for large
shipment special rates are made when
the company is notified. This much for
that charge of $372.
On June II, 1889, Mr.. Banbury made
a charge against the county for shipping
800 900 in court house bonds to Sacra-
mento-$160 65. For this he presents
the following receipt:
WELLS, FARGO & Co. IS EXPRESS,
Los ANGELES, CAL, June I5. 1889.
Received from J. Banbury coupons and
bonds valued at Ninety-One Thousand
Eight Hundred Dollars to delivery of
bonds to d. o. Mills & Co., Sacramento,
upon payment of above amount.
w., F. & Co.,
For the Company,
GooDING.
Charges $l60.65. Paid.
Mr.. Banbury, it seems, did not want
the money Immediately returned to Los
Angeles, for the following instructions
were also sent to Sacramento with the
bond shipment:
OFFICE OF
WELLS, FARGO & Co. IS EXPRESS.
Los ANGELES, Cal, June l5, 1889.
Noting instructions attached, Mr.. Ban
bury wishes the money held there until
he completes his report, which will be
in few days. He will then give in
structions for the disposal of it.
Yours truly,
w. IL. GAULT, Actg. Agt.
To FELIX TRACY, Agt., Sacramento.
On July 9th Mr.. Banbury makes the
following charge against the county and
receives his money on the sworn demand
he made that he had expended it,
Expressage on $50, 200 to Sacramento,
$l40 90.
In the face of the order OF Mr.. Ban
bury directing Wells-Fargo's agent to
hold the money at Sacramento, dated
June 18th, why would it not be possible
for him to have directed $50 900 to be
paid to the state treasurer and the bal
ance to be shipped to him-$11 ,SOO? :?
Why should he direct any one to hold
money belonging to the county OF Los
Angeles at Sacramento?
But it was on February 5, 1890, that
Mr.. Banbury made the following charge
against the county, which, to say the
least, is outrageous. 1t was as follows: :
Transmission of money from Los An
gelee to Sacramento for settlement with
state treasurer, 1922 1856 SO at So 50
per $1,000, $1305 ga.
Mr.. Banbury never had charged the
county more than $1.75 per $1,000 before
this date. Yet on shipment of over
half million he increases the cost of
transmission rs cents over what he had
previously charged.
Wells Fargo have, as has been before
stated, an open rate of Sl.75 per $1,000
for the shipment of gold coin to Sacra-
mento. Upon shipment of over half
a million dollars special rate could
have been easily secured. Yet Mr..
Banbury has the audacity to charge the
county 80 80 per $1,000 for the shipment
of 1922 256 sc and then claim that he
actually paid that sum out.
AS to the other charges Mr.. Banbury
has made, running from February 5,
1890, to August 15, 1892, they will be
fully ventilated together with other as
tonishing facts which will make inter-
esting reading when the case is on trial.
1t is an easy matter for him to secure
it,

ence of one debtor class of debts over

ence OF one debtor class OF debts over
another"
Assuming that the facts alleged show
an assignment for the benefit of credit
ors and the giving of preference to one
class of creditors, l. e., the mercantile
creditors, and in this connection think
the bill of sale and trust declaration
must be construed together; plaintiff
must take one horn of the dilemma: !:
Either that he assents to the assign
ment, in which case the assignment and
preference is notice against him and he
has no cause of action, or that he does
not assent, in which event the assign
ment is void as to him, and his remedy
is by attachment or by suit to set it
aside.
In other words, I am of opinion that
where an assignment for the benefit of
creditors gives preference to class of
debts, it is the assignment and not the
preference that is void as against nom
assenting creditor, and the court cannot,
at the suit of such creditor, hold the
assignment valid and the preference
void. The demurrer is sustained"

And Will Have His Character
Weighed in Court.
Five Days Before Election He Files His
Complaint-A Copy of the Doc
ument-Express and Ex-
change Charges.

The HERALD has heretofore charged
that Jabez Banbury, the treasurer OF
Los Angeles county, has made demands
against the county for money which he
never expended, and that these demands
were ordered paid by the board of super
visors, and that warrant was drawn in
his favor for the amount he claimed he
had paid out.
Ae result OF these statements which
have from time to time been printed in
the HERALD during the past week Mr..
Banbury yesterday filed suit against
the paper,for libel. The following is the
full text of the complaint filed yesterday
afternoon with the county clerk:

A TRUST IN COURT.
One of the Stockholders of the
Chicago Gas Trust Asks for
Receiver.
Allegations Made That 1t Is the
Design of the Combination
to Advance Prices.

CHICAGO. Sept. 30.-A demand ha
finally been made for the appointment
OF areceiver of the Gas Trust. In the
circuit court today Thomas II. Martin
filed a'lengthy bill against the Chicago
Gas Light and Coke company, the Peo-
pies Gas Light and Coke company, the
Consumers Gas company, the Equitable
Gas Light and Fuel company and the
Hyde Park Gas company. the Lake Gas
company and the Fidelity Insurance,
Trust and Safe Deposit company, of
Philadelphia.
The court is asked to appoint a re-
celver for these companies, whose duty
1t shall be to take possession OF all the
assets. franchises and privileges be-
longing to the enormous concern, and
continue to manufacture gas under the
direction OF the courts; also to enjoin
the Fidelity Insurance Trust and Safe
Deposit company from acting as trustee
under the contracts under which the
companies were consolidated. The
court Is further asked to cancel the
stocks held under these contracts. and
to place them in the hands of a receiver.
Meanwhile an Injunction is sought to
restrain any disposition of the stock.
Allegations are made in the bill that,
by reason of the different companies
being controlled by the trust, it is i'm
possible for them to discharge their
puDllc-dHtieS except at the direction of
an outside force, and that it is the de-
sign OF the combination to limit the
supply and greatly enhance its price
over its actual worth to consumers,
