train and allowing her TO die in agony.
! The cause of death was criminal NAL
practice and undoubtedly the parties
guilty of the act hoped by getting the girl
out of the way 10 escape detection. De-
tectiveS worked on the case without OBJ
tanning clew to the man who put the girl
on the car. The body was identified as
that of Ida Shattuck, the daughter of a
blacksmith at Sites, COlusa County. As
stated a reporter run the man to earth. 1t
was found TO be DR.. 3. ID. Hall, VINO lived
on Valencia street, near Seventeenth, and
who admitted putting the girl on the cars
and the further fact that she had been a
patient of his and living in his house for
weeks.
DR.. Hall was arrested on June IS, 1891.
and had a preliminary examin alton, being
held TO answer to the Superior Court in
$4,000. This ne failed to give and went
to Jail. On June 20, 1891. he was arraigned
for trial in Department II. Judge Murphy,
and was given until June q to plead, at
which time he entered plea of not guilty
and his trial was set for June 90. From
that time on the minutes of the clerks in
Department ~ of the Superior Court fur
nish the most reliable news concerning the
case They are as follows:
June 20. 1891-By consent cause ordered
continued TO Jnly 2, 1891, to be st.

During the trial and the interval which
followed, until the case again appears on
the minutes of the court. there were two
important events happened which the
minutes do not show. One was the reduc-
ton of the bail from $50, 600 to S25. 900. and
the other was the disappearance of the in
formation that had been filed against Hall.
The latter matter was not discovered by
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Hosmer
until some weeks after the trial, ana judg-
ing from the fact that he was unaware un-
til yesterday that Hall's boEd had been
again reduced from SIS, 600 to $4,000, that
portion of the case was not as closely
watched as it was supposed to be. At any
rate, the next time after the first trial that
DR.. Hall appeared in court was upon the
very proposition concerning which Assis-
tant Prosecuting Attorney Hosmer knew
nothing. The minutes read:

ton of bail. Same reduced TO $4,000.
