On the night of November 29. 1891, Samuel
Leffi'r, man employed by the Southern
Paciilc Company as night Waterman at
the depot In Los Angeles was shot and in
stantiy killed by man named Kandalec.
MS man, In company with a companion
named Karmiss, had taken quarters for the
nlSht In boxear standing on side track
In the freight yard, and when asked to leave
oy the night watchman showed fight. Left
Ter drew weapon aud shot KarmlsS in the
light side, whereup0n Kandalec seized upon
the watchman's pistol, and wrestling 1t from
his grasp fired three bullets through the
mans body. The two were captured a few
hours afterward and booked for murder.
On the 4th Of April the case i'll come IN
for trial, and an effort will be made by Aus
TRAN residents of this city to see that they
are fairly tried. Both men are subjects of
the Austrian Empire, Kandalec being ma

city, and well-known lawyers have been re-
tanned for the defense

Angeles County. They were in the box
car because they MISE ed a train and did not
wish to pay hotel-fare.
"karmiss has sent SIS each month TO his
family in Austria since arriving here two
years ago. We can prove that the men
acted only in self-defense, and that the
Waterman was always in trouble because of
his ferce temper We can prove that an
official of the Southern Pacific Company
recommended his dismissal for clubbing an
inoffenslye old man who WAS 10 the habit Of

The Fire Committee Of the Board of Su-
pervisors decided yesterday to recommend
the revocation of Mr.. Mitchell's license to
maintain match-factory on Fourteenth
street. near Mission. They explained the
proceeding by saying that it is proposed to
extend The fire limits beyond this point very
soon, and then 1t would have TO be discon-
tinued anyhow. 1t would be an injury to
the man to let him get his business fairly
under way again and then have to stop him.

POLICE COURT CLERKS.
The Law TO Their Powers in Issuing
Releases.

District Attorney Barnes, In reply 10
Supervisor Ellert's questions in relation to
Police Court matters, says that the law of
1889 does not define the duties of the clerk
nor the manner Of his appointment. But the
consolidation act provides that he may
accept bail after arrest" where it does not
exceed $1,000.
The clerk, therefore, has no power to ac-
cept bail until the party seeking to give
bail Is in actual custody in contemplation
OF the law. The very idea of bail coEtem-
plates that the party bailed shall be under
restraint"
This does not, explains the District Attor-
ney, preclude any person from surrender
ing himself iBto custody and then giving
bali, because a surrender is equivalent 10
an arrest But the person giving bail should
be IN the custody Of the proper officer.
