1t is Being Ventilated Before a Jury
in Court.
Grinter Claims He Was First Assaulted

This Morning.

James w. Grinter is on trial before
jury in Department Ono of the Superior
Court for having assaulted George Lob
meyer with deadly weapon, with in
tent to commit murder, on the night of
the 18th of last February.
Lohmeyer claims that on that night he
met at Seventh and L streets a woman
who gave her name as Mamie White,
and that she invited him to her room on
the north side of l. street, between Sew
enth and Eighth. After he had been
there for about two hours. and while the
light in the room was burning low,
Grlnter emerged from a closet armed
with piece OF wood and assaulted him.
he said that in order to protect himself
he got out his pocket knife and in the
fight which followed he cut Grinter sew
eral times on the head, face and arm.
He had Grinter ana the woman arrested
Tor attempt to commit murder.
On tue llth OF last month habeas COR
pus proceedings were commenced in the
woman's behaIf before Superior Judge
Johnson, and she was released on the
ground that she had nothing to do with
the assault on Lohmeyer.
Within an hour after her release she
known until then that her name was not
White, but Elizabeth Hollenback. She
SAID she wanted TO get married to GrInter
III order that when her child should be
born il will be OF legitimate birth.
GrlnterS testimony was to the effect
that he became impressed with the idea
that somebody had been leading astray
the woman whom he had claimed to be
his wife, and that he set trap to catch
them. lie told her he was going to San
L ranclscO on the day the aIfray occurred,
but instead he secreted himself in the
room. lie had armed himself with
stick OF wood, with which to defend him
self in case of trouble.
Alter the woman and Lohmeyer en-
tered The room ne walked TO the bed, and,
1t being dark in the room, he could not
see very well who was on the bed. He
felt around for awhile and his hand came
into contact with the woman. On max
ing further search he caught hold of
Lohmeyer's leg. The latter then jumped
out of the bed and commenced slasniug
him with a knife.
Grinter said that when he entered the
room ne placed the stick of wood OH the
bureau. AS soon as Lohmeyer COM
menced cutting him he endeavored to get
tie billet and struggle ensued. He OBJ
tanned possession OF II, and not until after
he had been considerably cut up did he
use 1t on Lohmeyer's head.
During the trial yesterday Mrs. Grinter
sat constantly at her husbands side and
appeared to be deeply interested in the
proceedings.

sentence of sixty days, imposed by JUS
tice OF the Peace Charles j. Merkley of
Sutter Township. for disturbing the peace
OF William Jaques, came up for hearing
in Superior Judge Catlin's court yester-
day.
At the time of the alleged disturbance
Miller was in boat in the river opposite
Sutterville, and Jgques was on the Yolo
side. j. Q. Prewett, Miller's attorney,
coutended that the complaint was defect
i've because it did not aIlege Jurisdiction
in both counties; that it did not state
whose peace had been disturbed, and that
Miller was sentenced Immediately after
he was adjudged guilty, when in fact the
records OF Justice Merkley did not show
that Miller waived time for sentence, and
! that il he did not waive time he should
not have been sentenced inside of six
hours nor after two days had elapsed.

NO LONGER A FELONY.
Stealing a Hog VIII Not Hereafter
Grand Larceny.

Stealing a Hog VIII Not Hereafter be
Grand Larceny.
Governor Budd has pardoned Richard
Wells, convicted of grand larceny by the
Superior Court of San Luis Obispo, and
sentenced to one year in San Quentin.
Wells shot hog on April 1st and took
1t home Tor meat. He pleaded guilty OF
grand larceny and was sentenced to one
years Imprisonment.
On March 9Th, however, the Governor
had appoved bill passed by the Legis-
lature, striking out the word hog" from
the definition of grand larceny, which
reduced the crime to petit larceny. While
the Act does not take effect till May 9th,
the Governor thinks it evident that the
Legislature considered that the theft OF
such an animal should no longer be con-
sidered a felony. The Superior Judge
who sentenced and the District Attorney
who prosecuted Wells recommended the
exercise of Executive clemency.
