SAN BERNARDINo, May S.-The pre-
liminary examination of Dan Adams
the Rialto incest fiend, came up this
afternoon but the details are too vii,
for publication. On request of defen
dant's attorney, H. H. Baker, the cas-,
was tried behind closed doors, but the
reporters and correspondents of the cit,
rented room adjoining the Judges
court, and through an open transom
heard the evidence. An intereeting en-.
isode occurred when Baker, attorney
for the defense, made this discovery
and requested that the newspaper men
be elected from the building if not en-.
tirely from the city. The officer of the
court kicked in the door and took the
poor newspaper men before the Judge.
who reprimanded them for disobeving
the order of the court. When he found
that the room had been rented, how.
ever, he informed the defense that he
had no jurisdiction over the building
outside of his own room, and that the
reporters might occupy the quarters
leased. At this Mr.. Baker, frantic with
rage, declared that the reporters were
there for the purpose of taking down
evidence which should not be made
public. He was evidently fearful that
his client might be injured, but his un-
Just protest made no difference, and the
case proceeded while the reporters se-
cured the information desired. The de-
tails are not necessary, only sufficient to
say that the judge considered the evil
dence satisfactory enough to hold the
defendant over to answer to the superior
court on the charge of attempted rape,
with bonds fixed at $5000 f
