PASADENA.
Uity Recorder Rossiter Criticixed-A
Serious Accident.
PASADENA, July 7.-The Star in to-
nights issue attacks City Recorder Ros-
sitter for the manner in which the Mar.
then case was conducted yesterday, al
leging that "the whole proceedings
seemed to have the appearance OF q
legal and judicial farce"
These comments would seem unjust to
Recorder Rossiter. and entirely uncalled
for, nnder the circumstances.
The Los Angeles attorney for the de-
fense conducted himself 90 that no ex-
ceptions could be taken to his actions
by the court, and as he was the
regularly appointed attorney of the de-
fendant, there was nothing to do but ac-
cept the change of plea from not guilty
to guilty and set the fine, az time for
sentence was waived.

reflection that be left the heritage OF an
honored and respected name, which the
fight OF time will not tsrnish, but which
will forever remain q cherished memory
to his family, his Masonic brethren and
his many friends.
