ARREST FOR EMBEZZLEMENT
A Prominent Visalian Is Brought to
This City
L. v. Nanscawen Accused Of Having, While
q Postmaster, PalIen Short in
His Accounts

L. V. Nanscawen. former postmaster
of Visalia. was brought TO Los Angelo:

States Marshal L. B. Goodrich. charged
with having. while in the employ of the
government. embezzled the sum of $3.50,
and OF having failed to account for $1,000
more. The alleged offense occurred on

ing been President Harrisons first ap-
pointee. The latter is also said to have

missed from the government employ after
his bondsmen had reimbursed the post
Office department. IN full. Dean, as we'll
as Nanscawen. was indicted by the United
States grand jury in this city last Friday,
the indictment being kept a secret.
Deputy Marshal Goodrich and his pris
oner were on hand in the court of United

caution to provide himself with $4,000
bail bond all signed up. before he had left
Visalia. and the sureties upon the docu-
ment being entirely satisfactory to the
government. the accused man was re-
leased from custody.
Goodrich was also to have brought ex-

he finds out that he is wanted.

in the United States district court of this
, city at the next regular term.
Nanscawen's alleged shortage has also
been made good to the government by

ADONlS KINNEY ELOPES
And With Him the Fair Marguerite
MarmOntel
They Have Gone and Left the Lawful
Mrs. Kinney Here as
Grass Widow

Ex-Policeman Kinney has eloped with
his Alameda street charmer, Margu erlte
Marin ontel, who caused his dismissal from
the police force. They have gone to New
York, where Kinney will try to ru n a
saloon on Marguerte's sack, which is
said to contain many twenty-dollar
pieces.
After Kinney's trial for battery upon
Miss Marmontel, which resulted in dis
agreement of the jury. he Immediately set
to work to obtain reconciliation with
the fair French nymph of the sidewalk.
Marguerite told everybody that she never
would have anythIn. to say to the ex- po-
liceman. She said that he was stupid,
had no thoughts above chile con carne,
and that his conversation was idiCtlc,
and furthermore. he was not even good
looking, although a well-built man, she
admitted.
But whether cribs on Alameda street
we're turned outside in, and encased in a
bill board fence, Miss Marmontel's estab-
lishment bad to undergo SO many repairs
that she temporarily left it and sought the
comforts of a homo with an old harridan
who has made her fortune on the row. and
resides now in East Los Angeles.
In the seclusion of pepper-tree-em-
powered nest far from the sncers and OBJ
servations of the other courteans of Ala
media street. which she feared, she again
met Adonis Kinney. They hypnotized
each other. The result was plan to
leave the lawful Mrs. Kinney in the lurch
and HE them away jointly to the shores
Of the Atlantic--to Gotham-where Kin
ney would become publican and a power
in politics and the madam would run a
house of assignation.
A week ago Kinney disappeared from
his old haunts. He had gone to San Ber
nardino to await the arrival of Miss
Marguerite Marmontel. who arrived two
days later. They took the east-bound
overland together, and Los Angeles will
never know them more.

Officer Ben Robbins Of the Chinatown Squad
Spots 1t and Leads the "Revenoos" to
the Smugglers' House

Yesterday morning the largest seizure
of illicit opium of local record was made

have been smuggled up from the coast by
the heathens. The seizure may foot up
$500 value.
Officer Ben Robbins spotted the house
and learned its character. Then he took
Deputy Revenue Collector L. NJ. Noah and

raided and seized the stuff. A shanty
near the old Chinese hospital off Apa-
blasa street concealed the plunder. No
one has yet been caught. Only an old
woman sewing overalls was in the place
and in terror she said the ''man" was up
town. He has disappeared. The orium
is now stored in the collectors office.
