9George Worthern's Case-A Commence
~ ment-HaDdball Match.
= PASADENA, June 15.-The defendant,
SGeorge Worthern, did not put in an APP
pearance in Recorder Rossiter's court
room Wednesday afternoon. the time set
for him to plead, and after waiting for
several hours for him to appear, the re-
corder entered an order declaring his
$100 of cash bail forfeited and issued
bench warrant for the defendant. who
was found and brought into court by
Officers Goltman and Orr, and further
bail money was exacted for his appear
ance. Yesterday at O'Clock defendant
produced letter from his attorney, ao-
dressed to the court, asking that the
! case be postponed from the 14th to yes
I, terday, but Worthern had not regarded
the matter as important, and go
had kept the latter from the 18th
until late Wednesday night. Yesterday
his attorney, w. 7. Williams OF Los An
geles appeared on the scene and began
maneuvering to recapture the forfeited
bail of 500. He filed two affidavits,
one his own and the other his clients,
and made motion asking that the or
der declaring the forfeiture be vacated
and set aside. Mr.. Arthur, the city at
torney, eaid he had nothing to say in
the matter as the court had the entire
matter OF bail in hand, and he felt that
whatever was done in the matter would
be done with an idea OF fairness to all
the parties. The court said that while
the affidavit did not state facts that
would under all circumstance be held
sufficient, yet under the circumstances
OF this case the order would be vacated
and it was so ordered. The de-
fendsnt then pleaded not guilty
ane asked for continuance OF
the cause for two weeks from yesterday
and demanded jury trial at that time.
This long continuance was granted on
the understanding and agreement that
Mr.. Williams shall in that time take the
question OF Recorder Rossiters jurisdic-
tion to the supreme court for final deter
mination. The matter will be tried on
quo-warranto and the vexed question OF
jurisdiction will be disposed of one way
or another.
