1t Decides the Case of Cross VS..
Reed.
Yesterday Clerk Ashmore OF the
supreme court received the following
opinion in. os.Angeles county case,
from that body.
John Gross. appellant va. F. G. Reed,
espondent-This is an appeal from a
judgment and order refusing new
trial, and the only ground urged for a
reversal is that some OF the material
findings were not justified by the evil
dence.
The action was brought to recover
$4,000 with interest, and it was alleged
that the money was furnished by
the plaintiff to defendant for investment
on plaintiffs account in real property
and invested by defendant in manner
which was unauthorized and fraudulent.
The plaintiff and defendant were the
principal witnesses at the trial and their
testimony upon the material issues was
substantially conflicting. No brief has
been filed on behalf of respondent, but,
after carefully reading all the evidence
brought up in the record, we think it
must be held, under the we'll settled
rule of this court, that the action of the
trial court cannot be disturbed for the
reason urged. We therefore advise that
the order and judgment be affirmed.

Damon and Pythias will be presented
at the Grand opera house next Friday
night, March 18th, for the benefit OF the
director and instructor, Mr.. E. S. Laurie.
AS it will be given at the request OF
many of the most cultured people of
Pasadena, there will undoubtedly be a

inent young society man of Los Angeles
and we'll and favorably known here,
will appear in the character of Diony-
sius. Mrs. E. S. Laurie, wife OF the di-
rector, who plays the part of Calanthe,
is beautiful and accomplished actress
and has received the highest press COM
mendation for her excellent perform
ance of the part. The rest of the cast
have been drilled to high state of per-
lection as amateurs, and the perform
ance will undoubtedly prove q delight
ful one. The Kansas City Times refers
to MIR. Laurie as follows: Gas legiti-
mate stage manager Mr.. Laurie is an ex-
cellent one. Having thorough knowl-
edge of the classical drama and himself
an admirable actor, his success as an in
structor Of the dramatic art is almost

army near Vicksburg. He was present
at the meeting when Generals Grant
and Pemberton arranged ior the sur
render of Vicksburg, and on July 4,
1864, when the union army entered
the besieged city, in compliance
with the terms Of the Grant-Pem-
berton contract, with General
Grant and staff he rode into Vicksburg
on the day of the surrender. His son,
General Riggin, settled in Florida after
the war. where he died, in Manatee
county, June 13, 1886, leaving widow
and one son who still reside in Flor
ida.
In politics Mr.. Riggin was always a
Democrat, except when he temporarily
switched off with the Native American
party in early days. He then edited
the newspaper organ of that party in St.
Louis.
Mr.. Riggin had great desire to visit
Southern California, and accordingly, in
1881, after the death of his wife, he
made three months visit to California,
returning to st. Louis delighted with
saying to his children, II never will be
satisfied with any other country; there
will 1 live and die, and we must be on
our way there ope year from today"
And they were.
In Los Angeles Mr.. Riggin bought
and sold real estate extensively, making
many friends and few enemies. He was
a man of progressive ideas and large
business experience. During the last
decade his life was spent purely in intel
lectual pleasures. During the last year
of his life he was subscriber to seven
teen different periodicals, mostly week
lies, all of which he closely read. They
included the St. Louis Daily Republi-
can, to which he was subscriber for
over forty years, and he was also
subscriber for the Los Angeles
HERALD for more than ten years. As q
child he was precocious intellectually,
having learned to read when only three
years old. His mental faculties did not
fail him to the last. Being gifted with
a wise and logical mind, his greatest
pleasure was to discuss philosophy in
friendly spirit. His half-brother, Will
liam Sausser, died only one month pre-
vious, January IA. 1892, at the age OF rs
years, in Hannibal, Mo-, where he had
lived for over forty years.
The last hours of Mr.. Riggin were
free from pain. Being attended by his
only two surviving children, his last
words were those of blessing on them
and affectionate remembrance OF his
friends, adding that he died without
pang of remorse and unconscious that
he had ever given pain to his fellow
man. Thus passed out noble spirit.
Peace to his dust And immortal and
sacred be his memory

WALTERS'S METHODS.
A YOUNG MANS CAREER AS AID
vERTISING SOLICITOR.
He Danced Into Society and Is Charged
With Swindling- Contracts Which Are
Alleged to Be Forgeries.

I. j. Smith, agent for the Pacific coast
of the Farmers Manual, yesterday re-
ported to the chief of police that he had
been victimized by clever swindler
who came here from Louisville, Ken
lucky, under the name of G. 9. Walters.
The confidence man was handsome,
smooth talking young fellow, and when
he told Mr.. Smith that he had been
acting as an advertising solicitor for the
San Francisco Examiner and Chronicle,
he was readily believed.
Mr.. Walters was given work by Mr..
Smith, and his success as a solicitor was
phenomenal. Every evening he came
into the Office dog-tired and threw q
bundle of contracts on the. table. On
account of his impoverished condition,
Mr.. Smith, contrary to the rules of his
Office, advanced commissions to the
young man as soon as the contracts were
turned In. Mrs. Smith assisted her
of the manual, and she
also paid commissions to Walters, the
total amount being $50. 1t afterward
Wdb uONOlOPOO UhdU UAO COAul ldCt6
were forgeries, not one being authorized
by the firms whose signatures.they pur-
ported to bear. There were, altogether,
over $500 worth of these bogus con-
tracts. What the total loss will be to
Mr.. Smith has not been figured, but it
will reach respectable sum.
Among the bogus contracts was one
bearing the forged signature of local
merchant tailor. In this case, Walters
said he would like to take out his COM
mission in clothing. and Mr.. Smith gave
him an order for fine suit. The Farm
ers' Manual man will now pay for it.
Officers we're looking for Walters yes
terday, but that slippery individual had
disappeared. 1t was ascertained that
he had left town last Sunday, and his
shrewdness is further illustrated by the
fact that before leaving, he stole all the
bogus contracts from Mr.. Smiths Office,
thus destroying the chief evidence of his
guilt.
While he got in his fine financial
work here, Mr.. Walters managed to in
sinuate himself into the better class of
society and became popular dancing
man" at fashionable receptions.
Some time ago the same young man
was arrested for beating the Natick
house for board bill, but he escaped
punishment by free and effective use
of his glib tongue in portraying his un-
fortunate circumstances.
