a JURyMAN's STATEMENT.

He Tanks There Was No Evidence TO
Convict Billings.
J. Stotler was one Of the iurymen in
the case of Thomas Billings, who was
tried on Thursday In Justice Stanton's
court on a charge of keeping an aesigna-
ton house. Mr.. Stotler is one Of the
two jury men who would not agree to q
veldict for conviction. and is indignant
ct the superstition that he was influ-
enced by any motive than that of con-
scientious desire to do justice.
To q HERALD reporter Mr.. Stotler
said: II acted entirely on my idea of
what was right. / did not know Bill
lings, nor have ever been to the house
in question, nor did I ever know any
thing about it. There was no evidence
given, in my opinion, on which to base
9 conviction. In this opinion I was
backed up by the foreman of the jury,
who has been judge for eight years.
He said in the jury room that according
to the evidence and the judges charge
we could not convict Billings, but for
the community's sake he would vote to
convict him anyhow. had sworn TO
try him according to the evidence in the
case, and did not think it right to fol-
low any other course. ] consider q
great injustice has been done me by the
circulation Of the idea that I was
sfxed.," III

Lewis the Light. who once pestered
Los Angeles people, and who was COM
mitted to Stockton as insane some time
ago, seems to have been released, as the
following from the San Francisco Exam
liner Of Thursday indicates: u
Lewis the Light is hack again to
trouble religion and the police. During
his stay in San Francisco and Oakland
he was constant source of annoyance
the Salvation array to plant itself out
private rooms abound, and cry "Halles
lujahs'' until the peace Of the inmates
is disturbed. But Lewis the Light did
not hesitate at storming church. He
had no respect for any religion but his
own, and he considered all preachers to
be liars and hypocrites.
One night when Bishop Fowler was
holding services Of the most impressive
nature 1t the Howard-street Methodist
church, Lewis the Light attacked him
with vituperative remarks. sf. is lsa
On another occasion he interrupted q
tent full of Second Adventists in Oak
land, and really made some OF them
think the world was about to come to an
end. Finally the police quelled the
panic and persuaded Mr.. "Lewis the
Light" to spend his Judgment day in
Jail. l9ss X
He wrote letters to the newspapers,
and his handwriting and spelling were
always good. Now he ie back.
II His wife .is raid to have remained in
Los Angeles with her offspring. Once
she was q barber on Stockton street,
near Green. She shaved members OF the
"Macaroni district'' and gained d GER
tain newspaper notoriety.
t'Lewis the Light" believed that his
family should be vegetarians in order to
be more spiritually inclined. Their usual
diet was cold boiled potatoes, which his
wife was able to provide through her
earnings in the tons0rial way. asa

GIBSON'S CAPTURE.
HE BRINGS THE ESCAPE ACEVEDO
FROM ARIZONA.
The Result of Following . Dtrsieht Zip.
The Escaped. BurgIsr Found Near
Winslow-Beturned to the
County Jail. it4sHi

Sheriff Ed. H. Gibson returned yester.
day from Winslow, Arizona. with Albert
Acevedo, one of the two prisoners who
escaped recently from the county jail.
Acevedo had been convicted of burglary
and had been sentenced to seven years
imprisonment at San Quentin. About
five weeks ago he and Gonzales, a
United States prisoner charged with
counterfeiting, managed one evening to
reach the second story in the county
jail, facing the court house and to climb
down to the ground and escape.
While returning from Denver with
Davis, the pickpocket, Sheriff Gibson
kept his eyes and ears open for Acevedo,
and he received tip that man an
swering the prisoners description had
been seen near Winslow. Accordin yly,
after having only few hours rest from
his arduous trip with Davis, the plucky
sheriff started for Arizona to look
up. the man suspected. Ace
vedo was knocking about the
open country, and his capture
seemed impossible. The sheriff, how
ever, secured mounts and Indian scouts,
and went out on hunt. The outfit
struck Acevedo's trail and kept it until
they found the convict asleep one night
in an adobe hut in the chsppafal. The
escaped prisoner waS rudely awakened
to most surprising condition Of things.
and although be did not receive his old
friend Ed with much enthusiasm, he
gracefully submitted TO- the inevitable.
He was shackled and taken to the rail-
road. At 2:S0 O'Clock yesterday after
noon the convicted burglar once more
entered the portals Of the edifice from
which he had taken French leave. OF
the recent escapes only Gonzales now re-
mains at large, and it is probable that
be will be landed here also one Of these
fine days. ils aM@ Vif
