WHITTIER ASSAULT CASE
Young niller Given Three nonths' Imprlson.
ment-Curlews Sentence


ment-Curlew's Sentence
The Whittier assault case was dispos-
ed Of in department one, before Judge
Smith, yesterday. Some three or four
months ago couple of youths named
John e. Miller and George Curlew set
upon and brutally beat another youth
named Arthur Fuller. Young Fuller
lived on a ranch near Whittier, and one
Sunday came into the town and escorted
a young girl to church. This act on his
part seemed to arouse the ire of the town
boys, and a crowd of them took possess
sion of the pew in the rear of that occu-
pied by Fuller and the girl, and amused
themselves by making sighting and in
sulting remarks about the youth from
the country Fuller at the time wore an
incipient beard, and he stood the chat
fing good naturally until young Miller
stuck his face between the young lady
and her escort and remarked in a stage
whisper: There's whiskers on the
moon.' This sarcastic reference to his
sprouting hirsute adornments aroused
young Fuller's anger, and he turned to
his tormentors and told them that he
would settle with them after services.
at the same time asking them to re-
frain from further remarks as he did
not wish to have any scene in the church.
After church Fuller escorted the young
lady to her home, Miller Curlew and
number of others following behind them,
making remarks as Lney proceeded. On
leaving the house Miller and Curlew
Jumped on Fuller, and, knocking him
down, began to beat and kick him in
most brutal manner, while the other
members of the crowd stood by and en-
joyed the scene. Fuller cried for help
and man passing by went to his as
sistance, and he was rescued from his
assailants. Fuller was found to be very
badly hurt, badly bruised about the face
and head, and having his jaw bone
broken, 1t Is supposed from kick from
one OF the boys. Curlew and Miller
were arrested, and, on being examined.
were held to answer to the charge of
assault with a deadly weapon. Miller
gave bond. and was released, but Curlew
has since been in the county jail.
Wnen the case was called yesterday
morning large proportion of the resi-
dents OF Whittier were in attendance,
either as witnesses or spectators. The
Iacts were proven substantially as given
above, but Miller went on the stand in
his own behalf and told sort of ramb-
ling story to the effect that Fuller was
the aggressor. in that he had applied
an opprobrious epithet to the boys,
which precipitated the trouble. The case
was given to the jury and thew
retired to deliberate, and in the
meantime Curlew pleaded guilty. To
simple assault. which plea was accent
ed py the district attorney. In view Of
the fact that Curlew has been in jail

WHITE EXONERATED


William H. White, local manager for
the branch house of Baker & Hamilton
of San Francisco, has been exonerated
from the charge of violating the United
States postal laws by opening letter
addressed to another. Some time ago
Mr.. White was indicted by the federal
grand jury for opening a letter address,
ed to one r. A. Johnson, a former en-
ploye, who had been discharged by Mr..
White. There was some dispute as TO
whether the letter was addressed to
johnson in care of Hamilton & Baker,
or whether 1t was addressed to the firm,
but the point Is immaterial, as at most
1t was only an error, such as frequently
happens. The letter came with the other
mail, and was opened by Mr.. White, who
as soon as he discovered his mistake
promptly wrote to the sender of the let
ter and had the letter delivered to john
son.
Yesterday morning when the district
court convened, United States District
Attorney Denis asked that the case be
dismissed, stating that even II all the
evidence was offered he should still feel
1t was his duty to ask the court to in
struct the jury to acquit the defendant
On this statement Judge Wellborn or
dered the case dismissed and the defend
ant discharged.

shocked to hear of Constructor Wilson's
death. He had seen Ar. Wilson yesterday

three months campaign.
Upon the return OF the regiment, August
8, 1861, he was appointed "A acarpenterinthe
Navy and served in the United states
steamer Cambridge OF the North Atlantic
blockading squadron until 1868. The Cam
bridge was engaged In the first days
fight in Hampton Roads with the Merri-
mac.
Mir. Wilson was Intimately and directly
identified with the designing OF all the
new ships during the period OF his service
as chief constructor, and the monument he
leaves behind is one OF which any man
might be proud.
Constructor Wilson was for many years
the senior officer of lis corps. and almost
