The city Populists finally wound up
the business of their city convention

ing to do it.
The convention met in Council OF La
Dor hall at 10 80 o'clock, and proceeded
i to discuss again the charges which had
been made against E. @. Schnabel, their
candidate for mayor. II. P. Peeblss, G.
w. Sonnemsn, w. L, Volt, j. Hawley
and j. w. Bailey. the committee ap-
pointed at the previous meeting to in
vestigate the charges which created such
an uproar in the convention, made o
report, from which the following ex-
tracts are taken;
In Justice 10 Mr.. Schnabel il may be
stated that the charges, as read in open
convention, were not based as the inn
preston WAS conveyed and received by
many present, on tho findings OF the
court or judicial opinion given On evil
dence presented, but were based upon
the complaint of the plaintiffs at
torney. The findings of the court from
the evidence presented are given in this
report as exhibit A."
We append o certified copy of the
findings OF the superior court of Los An
geles county, as delivered by Judge Van
Dyke, in which she following points bear
directly upon the charges, and are
quoted verbatim:
That no false statements or misrepre-
sentatlons were made at the time of said
sales, or either OF them, or at any other
time, or at all, by said Schnabel to plain
tiffs or to PLAINTIFF agent, Borsum.
That plaintiffs were not induced to
make said sales by any false statements
or Misrepresentation made by said
Schnabel.
That ssid Schnabel promised to pay
for said goods so sold aud delivered to
him with the expectation and intention
OF paving for the same.
That said Schnabel was not insolyent
at the time of said purchase.
That plaintiffs did not rescind said
sales, or either OF them.
That on ssid 2Sth day of December.
1889, and at the time of the taking OF
said property by said sheriff, said E. G.
Schnabls was the owner of, in possession
OF, and entitled to the possession of all
OF said property.
The above findings OF the court, which
are confirmed by the supreme court (see
exhibit b are sufficient evidence as to
the islsity OF the charges urged in the
complaint and read in open convention.
and need no comment from the commit.
tee.
We deem it necessary, as bearing di-
rectly on the merits of the case, to pre-
cent the following facts to the conven-
ton:
1t has been asserted that on or near
the time that Mr.. SchEabel became
bankrupt he received certain sum of
money, to-wit, $4,000, which he appro-
pristed to his own use. In answer to
this, the committe were given the fol-
lowing facts:

deposit III the California bank IN
November 1, 1889, of the sum OF $1,000
and the committee has vouchers for pay.
ments to creditors on that date and en-
and before Novem ber g. 1889, for the sum
Of $l976. Dir. Schnabsl received on De-
cember l, 1889, further sum of $500,
which his books show was diabursed to
his creditors on December 2. 1889.
1t was further shown that after Mr..
Sohnabel was discharged from bank |
ruptcy and all legal claims satisfied, he
voluntarily gave note, dated December
z, 1898, in payment for the full sum due

and paid in cash 5000 to various credi- |
tors for labor and other claims.
