INTERESTING POINTS,
Technicalities Through Which George
MunrOe Hopes to Escape.

Technicalities Through which George
MunrOe Hopes to Escape.
The charges against George Munroe,
which have been pending for some time
in the superior court, are quite familiar
to readers of the HERALD. The story OF
his operations in school warrants has
been told many times. He was broker
in such things, and bought warrants
from people who did not object to pay
ing a large discount for ready cash.
Among the warrants were several from
school teachers, which were found to
have been already paid when presented,
and the documents presented by Num-
roe were pronounced forgeries. A charge
of forgery was lodged against him: he
was examined and held TO answer to the
superior court. The information was
filed by the district attorney some time
ago, and his attorney has been engaged
in staving off the trial by demurrers and
motions ever since.
Yesterday Munroe was again in court
on a motion made by w. T. Williams,
his counsel, to dismiss the charge
against him, and some interesting points
were raised, which, if decided favorably
to the defendant, will cause a great
degree of uncertainty amongst the class
of money brokers who take the chances
OF lending money on anticipated war
rants.
The grounds upon which counsel asks
that the charge be dismissed are that
the instrument claimed to be forged was
illegal and void, and if illegal and void
cannot be the subject of forgery; also,
that school teacher is public officer,
and it ia against public policy for pub
lie officer to assign his warrant, and
therefore illegal and void, and if 80 the
warrant is not the subject of forgery,
and the information does not state facts
sufficient to constitute cause of &C.
ton. The court heard the argument of
counsel on the motion and took the
ma tier under advisement.

Mr.. Bly, Wants an Injun ctiop.

A complaint was filed in the superior
court yesterday by L. Bly, We. D. Kill
patrick, j. D. Bicknell and Simona M.
Bradbury, executors of the estate of L.
L. Bradbury, the deceased millionaire.
The plaintiff alleges that he entered
into partnership with Mr.. Fitzpatrick
November 13, 1891, to do the stone
work on the foundation of the big Brad
bury block at the southeast corner OF
Broadway and Third street. They en-
tered on the contract January 9, 1892,
and completed it September "a, 1892.
The work having been completed, the
purpose of the partnership was fully
carried out.
Since the completion of the work the
plaintiff alleges that Fitzpatrick has left
the city and is now in British Columbia,
and that he has been unable to obtain
an accounting with him. There is still
$4,000 due on the stone work contract,
and the plaintiff is entitled to half the
amount after the legitimate expenses
are paid. Mr.. BLY, alleges that Kilpat-
rick is indebted to number OF people
in Los Angeles, and is threatening to
draw orders on the balance due, utterly
disregarding his rights in the matter.
Mr.. Bradbury died in July, and the exc
cutors have fund in charge for the bal
ance due the constructors. He prays
that the partnership be dissolved, and
the defendant be restrained by injunc-
ton from drawing any of the funds
mentioned, and that the executors be
required to pay the $4,000 into court,
pending an accounting.

ANOTHER VETO.
Mayor hazard Objects to Recent
Ordinance.

Mayor hazard Objects to a Recent
Ordinance.
Mayor Hazard has vetoed the city or
dinance providing for the appointment
of an assistant superintendent of build
ings, on the ground that the authority
rests with the superintendent of build
ings. His honor admits the necessity of
such an officer, however. He states
that the ordinance vests the powers of
appointing and removal in the city
council, when section so of the
city charter provides that the
superintendent of buildings shall
have charge of the enforcement of all
ordinances pertaining to heating, plumb
ing, etc." ''If such an ordinance" the
message holds, could be maintained, !"
it would take such control from the su-
perintendent, and put the same virtu-
ally under the control of the city coun-
Gil, who have no such control under the
several laws or under the charter. Be.
sides the illegality, it is detrimental to
the public service that the principal
should have no control over his assist
