A peculiar state OF facts have been
developed by the Bulls Hammond
trials in our local judicial courts.
Frederick K. Hammond had David
Bulls arrested for threatening to COM
NIT murder. When arraigned before
Justice Twitchell he declined to contra
dict the alleged facts and was placed
under $500 to keep the peace. Bulls
then went before Justice Willis and
swore to a warrant charging Hammond
with forgery, the judge letting Ham
mond 60 on his own recognzance until
today (Tueedsy) when the charge will
be heard.
There are all sorts Of charges and
counter charges made. Bulls states
that the now Mrs. Hammond who was
formerly married to him five years ago
ct San Pedro, she calling herself A. p.
Shepheard. She left him last May,
went to Oklahoma. She came home
recently and was married to Hammond
at Los Angeles by Rev. Campbell, pas
tor of the First-street M. E. church.
The other side claim she has only had
this husband and that Bulls is making
Hammond's life UNDESIRABLE with his
threats. There will be fun today.
