IN THE HANDS OF VETERANS
Old Soldiers Take Possession of
Santa Monica
CITY TURNED OVER TO THEM
The Number in Attendance Double That
OF Last Year
Lots of Hard Work to Be Done Before the
Encampment win Be in Mill
tary Order

SANTA MONICA, Aug. 5.-The long
looked for day has come ana Santa Mon
lea is in the hands OF the Southern Cali
fornia veterans.
AS the first rays of light broke on the
new day, people began to flock in to the
Seventh Street park, and camp Fort
Fisher was bu ri g long before breakfast
time. Visitors came in wagons. in bug
gies, on hay racks. street cars and on foot
any way to get there.
The tent commi ittee, consisting of Com
rades John Brooker and Munson, was
kept on the jump Assisting families to
tents which they are to occupy for the
next ten days. Never was such Job
undertaken by them before and, des pite
the multiplicity OF questions fired at
them from all sides. they were self-pos-
sessed through it all, and by night had
succeeded in bringing order out OF chaos.
During the early hours the camp re-
sembled Kansas town after cyclone
visitation. Bedding camp furniture, oil
stoves. tables and bunting were strewn
in every direction, so that it seemed i'm
rossible to ever get things straightened
out-at least so to the unintated, but
the campers who chad been there before
had an opposite opinion and forthwith
proceeded to demonstrate its feasibility.
By dint of hard work Commander Dill
and his able corps of assistants who ar.
rived last week. had gotten the tents in
position and Old Glory waved from every
conceivable point. When the veterans
arrived this morning the camp presented
a gay appearance. The very air seemed
laden with patriotism and good cheer.
To use the words of Commander Dill,
the comrades came into camp imbued
with the spirit of loyalty, patriotism and
love of country, ana exercising that
spirit of fraternity and charity one to-
ward another which helps SO much to
smooth the rough pathway OF the
veteran on lifes journey.
1t was flne looking set of men who
came in this morning. Battle Scared
they were, some with empty sleeves and
some on crutches, but all happy in the
knowledge of having fought for the right.
Quartermaster James Simmons tent
committeee has entire charge of the tents
and to them everyone had to apply for
space. Up to late hour this afternoon
over 200 families had come in and were
slowed away.

HOLMES CASTLE OF CRIME
Investigation Reveals CiOts of Blood
Mixed With Human Hair
Two Trunks Found in Pat 0unIan's Private
Living Rooms, 7arked IN. R. W." The
Initials of Minnie Williams

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-Human blood was
found today in Holmes castle bespat
tered from one room to another. Science
aided Detectives Fitzpatrick and Norton
where other agents failed and uncovered
more startling evidence against II. H.
Holmes and Pat Quinlan than has been
found in the castle.
There wes found in the castle by the
detectives and medicine expert a trail
OF blood leading from the doorway of the
dining room of Mrs. Julia L. Conner to
a SINK in the same room; from there into
the dark chamber where she and Pearl
formerly slept and from there to the
door opening into the bathroom, where
the secret trapdoor was; on the base
board of that room above the trapdoor
and down on the secret staircase which
led to the false elevator shaft and thence
into the basement. The blood was hu-
:.an. A clot of blood mixed with human
hair was found. Also from the debris in
the dark chamb where the mother and
child slept there were taken some
child's underclothes stained with
blood, a pair OF brown trousers stained
at the bottom with blood; a handkerchief
which had been used to wipe up blood
with and various cloths and parts of un-
derclothing spotted with blood. These
articles were examined microscopically at
the time of their discovery, and test
made then and there as TO the stains and
blotches showed it to be human blood.
With but one or two exceptions the ex-
pert decided they were all marked with
human blood. A rope was found in the
dark cham ber and in it's knots blood was
discovered.
In Pat Quinlan's living rooms were
found two trunks. On both trunks
were the initials m. R.W." The initials
had been painted over. They are those
of Minnie Il. Williams.
Chief Badenoch believes this evidence
to be the most important of any save the
partial confession of Mr.. ana Mrs. Quin-
Ian that he has yet secured.

.PAULSELL IS SENTENCED,
Judge Belcher Has Ordered Him
to Prison for Fifteen
Years.
The Court Delivered a Lengthy Opin.
ion on the Points Involved in
the Case.

Judge Belcher has denied the motion for
new trial made by counsel for W. E.
Paulsell, and sentenced the defendant to
fifteen years imprisonment. Paulfeu was
convicted of robbing Carroll's farolank on
Market street of nearly $50, 600.
In denying the motion for anew trial
Judge Belcher reviewed the circumstances
of the robbery-how the place was entered
by two men, how they stood up the guards
and decamped with all the money they
could lay their hands upon. Paulsell was
chased and caught and was tried and con-
victed.
The Judge then entered into minute
consideration of the points upon which the
defendant relied for new trial. An ex-
ception was made at the trial to the refusal
of challenge to o. D. Baldwin TO act as
Juror. The challenge was on the ground
that Baldwin admitted that he would con-
slider the defendant would have more
reason and inducement to depart from the
truth than other witnesses. His Honor
declared that cit is the law OF this State
that the jury may consider the defendants
relation to the case and all the induce
ments and temptations which would Or
dinarily influence person in his situa-
tion.' He cited numerous authorities to
support this ruling.
In regard TO the clallenge Oh Juror
w. D. Walker because he had previous to
the trial heard some one say that Paulseu
had 'held up" faro bank, Judge Belcher
held that the impression thus received
was not sufficient TO constitute disquali-
flying bias.
The objection that the court erred in adj
uniting testimony as to the flight of the
second man. was disposed of as without
| weight, as the flight of all three parties
was an act in which the defendant was an
actor.
Objections made to the wording of sew
eral of the instructions were reviewed at
length, and numerous authorities were
cited to sustain the correctness of the lam
guage used.
cat the trial." concluded the Judge,
''some contention was made that, as the
place robbed was a gambling esta blish-
ment, there was no offence. The rule in
civil cases that the law Will not lend its
aid to assist one wrongdoer to recover
from his fellow has no application in
criminal proceedings. In criminal pro-
ceedngs the injury is to the people, and
the moral status of the parties is Of no
| consequence, save as it may affect the
credibllity OF their testimony.
For these reasons the motion for new
| trial ought to be denied.
| After denying the motion Judge Belcher
sentenced Paulsell to be imprisoned for
| fifteen years.
