In the Southern PacIfio's
Employ.

sentative of G. ]. Lehman, the ticket
broker, to answer to the Superior Court

who held Forman to answer is the
agent of the Southern Pacific Company
at San Fernando. An application will at
once be made to the Superior Court for
Forman's release on the ground that the
testimony does not warrant his detention,

never passed through the District Attor-
ney's Office, and the examination was held
before Justice who is in the railroad s
employ.
The whole prosecution is the fight of the
railroad company against the ticket
| brokers.
