L. Tondro, alias doc" Williams. the
corn doctor, Harry Martin, Justus Barne-
cit and Bidwell Ham. Most of them
plead not guilty, one or two being given
until next week to plead. Doc Williams
or Frank Tondro. which he says is his
true name, thought he had escaped ar
rest when he skipped out into the coun-
try and actually went so far AS to apply
for an honest days work, under the
name of Tondro, which was an unknown
name here in Pasadena. This was the
most effectual disguise he could adopt on
short notice, but evidently he couldn't
keep his rowing thoughts away from
the gambling case in Pasadena and asked
the superintendent OF the ranch about
them, when he learned to his surprise
that this same man by whom he was EN-.
ployed was a constable himself, none
other than Newell who was making the
arrests at Pasadena. After asking il all
the arrests had been made, and being al
lowed 30 to conclude, he couldn't keep
his secret any longer. and informed Mr..
Newell that he had once run game in
Pasadena hi m self ana that his name was
w
his ruin, for shortly thereafter he was in
vited to accompany the constable to
Pasadena, which he did with rather bad
graoe. The invitation. ii the shape OK

some time before, but the officials had
unfortunately been unable to find his adj
dress.
This morning Attorney H. H. Appel OF
Los Angeles appeared Tor the gam blers in
Justice Merriam court, the case OF Will
liam Thomas being set for that time, but
it was agreed to take up first the case of
Wednesday at 10 clock, while the
Thomas case was continued. 1t is evil

In connection with these liquor cases.
the attempt of the local sheets to work
up sympathy for the violators OF the law
by the great amount of rot that IL served
up each evening is disgusting to every
fair-minded citizen. The position OF the
these columns at the time the citizens
council was formed for the enforcement
of the law last June and the Herald being
known as the staunch advocate OF law ard
order under all circumstances was IN
formed of the plans contemplated, and
has ever since been in touch with the
movement for enforcement and the APP
plication of the same laws to all. whether
private citizen or city official. In Accord
ance with these principles the Herald
will always speak out without rear or
favor, and will endeavor to give its sup
port to all that is right and just. The
rot that is being published to the effect
that those who 'conspire to make others
violate the law" should be punished
alike with those who have been violating
the ordinance for years without molesta-
tion from our weak-knoed officials. is no
stand charged with violation of the law.
But this silly contention. when eX-
ahmed, is seen to rest upon literally
nothing. For how can any man that
pretends to possess good common sense
undertake to say that when man simply
VINO satisfy their thirst for intoxicants at
all hours of the day at one OF Pasadena's
famous restaurants, he is inducing the
proprietor to violate the law in his be-
half?. The number of ''inducem ents'
that are held out to these poor innocents
affected their minds, if they are deceived
by any such sophistry as the aforesaid
sheets are publishing by wholesale. But
probably they are not so gullible as that.
1t is simply in lieu of something better.
