PASADENA, Oct. 26.-Something of
an all-around surprise party was held In
Recorder Rossiter' s court room yesterday
(Friday) evening, when Marshal Blu
chanan brought from Los Angeles. y.
Thurston. upon complaint OF young
Scotchman named A. r.. Bell, who
charged him with having left the town
to avoid payment Of $3.50 alleged to ne
due Bell.
Bell formerly worked for Thurston at
San Diego, left to 60 into business IN Los
Angeles. Then it seems that Bell and
waiter named Brett concluded they could
make $3.50. A warrant was sworn to two
or three days ago and served as STATED.
And here the surprise occurred. Thurs
ton denied all knowledge of the alleged
debt, saying he didn't owe them any
thing. Bell then detailed the circum
stances U er which he had loaned var
ious : ms, much to his former employee $
establishment. Soon the latter began to
put shrewd questions which completely
broke down the whole scheme.
Bell being informed of the serious con-
sequences of perjury broke down COM
pletely and acknowledged the com plant
to have been a plan between himself and
Brett to fleece the accused man. Thurs
ton. however, refused to prosecute Bell.
