THREE FINAL DECISIONS.
OPINIONS RECEIVED YESTERDAY
FROM TEE SUPREME COURT.
Young Robert williams Appears Again.
COURT Notes = Some New Suits
Which Were Filed
Yesterday.

An opinion was received affirming the
judgment and order denying new trial
in the case of Martha H. Hayne, re-
spondent, vs.. Angelica Hermann, ap-
pellant.
It was an action to obtain judgment
that certain property is held by the de-
fendant in trust for the plaintiff, and
for conveyance thereof. E. S. Her
mann, the father of the defendant, in
his lifetime, caused certain tract of
land in Los Angeles county, of which he
was the owner, to be conveyed to the
defendant, and also certain moneys and
personal property to be paid to her.
The court finds: "That said money was
paid to defendant. and note and deed
delivered to her upon the express un-
derstanding and agreement that che
would hold the same in trust for said E.
G. Hermann during his life, and for
plaintiff and herself in equal propor-
tions after his death, and said defend
ant accepted said money, note and deed,
to hold in trust as aforesaid, and with
out having paid any consideration there
for"
The supreme court finds this finding
fully sustained by the evidence; that
the claim that the conveyance was made
to hinder, delay and defraud the credit
ors OF Hermann YVES not sustained by
the record.
An opinion was also received affirming
| the Judgment and order appealed from
in the case of III. L. Drew, appellant, vs.
Henry Cole ct al, respondents. The
judgment was from an order DENYING
new trial. The action was brought to
enioin defendants from constructing q
bulkhead or embankment by which, it
was alleged, certain waters would be
turned upon plaintiffs premises, to his
injury. The findings Of the court upon
all the issues were in favor of defend
ants. The land was upon a subdivided
portion of the San Bernardino ranch,
northwesterly from the city of Redlands.
The supreme court thinks that the find
ings cover all the material issues, and
are fully justified by the evidence, and
that the findings support the judgment.
In denying petition for settling g
statement in the case of L. @. Tibbetts
and Fl. J. Hyatt, plaintiffs, vs. The Rlv-
erside Banking company and o. L.
Dyer, defendants, the court says that
the supreme court has not the power,
nor is its duty, to take the place of the
| Judge of the lower urtand perform the
duty Of settling the statement.

ROBERT WILLIAMS AGAIN.


The Young Burglar Tries to Blast tn g
Officers Who Trapped Him.
For young crook Robert Williams,
the all-around young burglar, already
convicted of ons count upon 25 or 80
similar jobs, was put upon trial yester-
day before Judge Smith upon another
count. The information charged him
with stealing several articles of jewelry
from the residence of J. A. Hazard, No.
213 Rosemont avenue. No attempt was
made to present any facts by the defense
in the case, which was conducted by Mr.
Orfla. 1t was simply an attempt to
keep out a confession made by the de-
fendant to the police officers. by which
large number of stolen articles of jew
erly were recovered, most of them being
found at the little jewelry store of Juan
Castillon on Commercial street.
The defendant took the stand in his
own defense and in a cool sort of way
gave narrative in his own way of the
efforts of the officers to extract con-
fession from him. He charged them
with having held out inducements to
him that if he confessed he would only
be prosecuted on one or two counts, and
that they afterwards went back on their
promises. 1t was just such story as a
plausible rascal like Williams could con-
coct. By suppressing something here
and adding little there the hardened
young criminal made the officers seem
to have done something wrong, when
the plain facts of the case are that Will
liams was caught in the act Of burglariz-
ing house on Pico Heights, was
brought to the station where he
made clean breast of the
whole affair by which articles
stolen from numerous houses to the
value OF about $4,000 were recovered. 1t
was through him that Castillon was ar
rested, and he afterwards declined to
testify in any way that would iniure
him, thus being the main instrument in
the disagreement of the juries in Cas-
tillon's two trials. To cap his ingenuity
be yesterday invented the specious
stories about the police detectives and
their promises.
Strange as it may seem in view of the
history of the defendant and his admit
ted guilt, for the confession was allowed
to 60 in, the jury could not see it all
one way. They went out shortly after A
O'Clock, and could not agree upon
verdict before supper.
The jury was brought into court at
1880 O'Clock last night and announced
that it would be impossible for them to
agree. Judge Smith did not consider
that they had tried hard enough and
locked them up for the night.
