A BOYLE HEIGHTS LUNATIC
A Poor Fellow Who Crouched in a Hole
in the Ground for Two Days

About 10 o'clock yesterday morning
word was sent to the sheriff's Office that
there was a crazy man about mile from
Evergreen cemetery, who was acting in
a peculiar manner Deputy Guy Wood
ward went over, and in clump of euca-
lyptus trees fround Charles Mauer wan
dering around, paving the air and NUT
tering to himself. He had dug hole in
the ground and there he crouched, COM
muning with the spirits. that he said
were centered in a sleeve link that he
tightly grasped in his hand.
c. c. Dodge, one of the scene shutters at
the Orpheum, while going home on
Wednesday, noticed a man sitting in the
grove Of trees. and man in the same
vicinity said he had seen the man sit
ting there on the day previous.
The poor fellow Is not violent, and he
will probably be kept day or so to see
If his decisions abate before having him
examined in court as to his sanity.

E. Hoist was brought to trial yester-
day in department one on the charge of
forgery. in having passed a check for
SO on Mr.. Thomas which was drawn on
the State Loan and Trust company and
purported to have been signed by one
E. Barrow.
a jury, half an hour or so to put in all
the evidence for the prosecution, and
then. on motion of counsel for the de-
Tense, the jury were instructed to return
a verdict of accquittal.
The case was a curious one. Mr..
Thomas testified to Holst's having given
him the check in payment for goods
valued at So. so and he returned the diff
ference in cash. Hoist said he knew the
drawer Of the check and he would en-
dorse it and make it good if by any
chance it should not be paid. That was
on the 18th of January Of this year.
Three days later the check was return
ed as being no good. The witness con-
fessed, on cross examination, that he had
lost nothing as the defendants brother
had made the check good.
After the prosecution rested General
tombstone Jones. who appeared for
Hoist, moved the court to instruct the
jury to bring in a verdict of acquittal in
asmuch as the evidence did not go to
prove the allegations contained in the
information that forgery had been COM
mitted. No evidence had been given
tending to show that the check had not
been signed by e. Barrow, and for that
reason the information could not stand.
The court then instructed the jury to
acquit and a verdict was returned in
accordance with such instructions.
Deputy District Attorney McComas
had come into court evidently prepared
for defeat, although perhaps not on such
a technical point. Anyway, he had a
little joker up his sleeve and filed an
other information against Hoist where
in he was charged with having passed
fictitious check" drawn on the Farm
ers and Merchants bank and purport-
| ing to have been signed by H. T. Hen
derson.

THE LIQUOR CASES.
A Writ Issued by Judge Smith Liberat.
ing Two Pasadena Men.

Judge Smith yesterday granted writ
in the case of Jackson and McGinty, the
two defendants sentenced by Judge Ros-
sitter at Pasadena to excessive sentences
for violating the city ordinance regulat-
ing the sale of liquors.
In passing upon the case the court
stated that he was satisfied from a care
full perusal of the authorities that u
crime, such as that charged against the
defendants. could not be reached by a
fine with an alternative term of impris-
onment. The supreme court had de-
cided that a defendant could not lie
held for any term longer than that de-
fined by the law, and such being the case,
and the defendants having suffered the
full legal term Of imprisonment, he
ordered the writ to issue and the de-
PENDANTS to be discharged.

THE BERLIN EMBEzzLEMENr.
The Appeal of the Prosecution Knocked
Out by Judge Smith.

/ An interesting point was raised yes
terday in the case of the people VS.. B.
r. Berlin, on appeal from the police
court. incidentally, too. the danger of
permitting special counsel to prosecute
case was illustrated
From the facts presented it appeared
that the defendant borrowed from Par
ker G. Gottschalk, in October, 1895, GER
tain moneys and gave a note for $454
secured by bill of sale which was in
| tended as a mortgage, and which COW
cred certain furniture. The note was
not paid and the mortgage was fore
closed, the plaintiff demanding the fur
niture. The defendant said, first. 1t was
at the Pacific warehouse and later at the
Van Storage company's rooms. 1t was
discovered then and the discovery was
| made at the same time that the furni-
ture had been previously mortgaged
Upon trial of the case there was no
defense and the jury was advised by the
court that the section of the penal code
under which the prosecution had been
brought provided that a person who,
having once mortgaged any property
| mentioned in section 1855 of the civil
| code. and incumbered it a second time
| without giving notice to the prior mort
gage in writing, is guilty of a misde-
meanor. At the time the penal statute
| civil code. household furniture could
| not be mortgaged and was not men,
| toned in the section. The amendment
| passed in 1895 permitting the mortgage
| ing Of such furniture was passed two
years subsequent to the penal section,
hence the prosecution could not be sus
| tanned for the reason that the penal sec
ton did not apply to the case because at
the time 1t was passed household furni-
| ture was not mentioned in that section
| of the civil code.
| The defendant was discharged but
Messrs. Murphy and Gottscbalk the
| special counsel who prosecuted the case,
insisted on taking an appeal.
| Judge Smith knocked the appeal out
| in the first round. He held that while
| the statute held that an appeal in such
cases could be sustained. II was really
| in conflict with the state constitution
| which said that man could not be
placed twice in jeopardy for the same
| offense.

Henry M. Huber and his wife are at

.NON-PARTIsAN" REPORT.
Nebraska GoIdbugs Who Are .ewhis-
Ting Aloud to Keep Their Cour-
age Up,

CHICAGO, Sept. civilian r. Daw-
son, business man of Lincoln, Neb.,
has sent to Republican headquarters
the result Of non-partisan and extern
stve canvass of the country towns and
surrounding rural region of Nebraska,
emitting Douglas and Lancaster coun-
ties, where Omaha and Lincoln are
situated. The inquiries were sent out
in circular form 70 business men of
good standing in the country towns,
irrespective of politics, and there was
nothing in the heading of the circulars
to show for whom the report was de-
sired or in the circular to disclose the
politics of the writer. Fifty-seven
country towns reported. In the c0un-
try surrounding these towns the per-
centage was as follows: For Mckinley
46, and for Bryan "a. In the country
towns the percentage was sc for Nc
Kinley, A for Bryan. National Com
mitteeman Charles G. Dawes, a cousin
of the circular writer, said he took these
figures to indicate a majority of at
least 5000 in Nebraska for Mckinley.
Chairman Gowdy of the Indiana COM
mittee spent some time at headquar-
tiers and conferred with Chairman Han
ma. He arranged a list of speakers and
dates with Mr.. Hanna for the rest of
silver Republicans of Indiana would be
in line for Mckinley by election day,
and the detection now is only in spots
in some counties. He declared there
were no silver Republicans in some
counties and the sentiment was nothing
like it was a month ago, because of
the good work which had been done
by the national committee. The or
ganiZation was now perfect and the
Darty practically united
Mr.. Hanna has assigned between sixty
and seventy speakers in the last two
days to work in the west as far as the
Dakotas, assignments being made for
over 800 speeches.
p Reports received at headquarters by
letters and through visitors indicate
that a fusion on the part of the gold
Democrats and Populists in Missouri
will be elected SO that Mckinley cleo
tors and Lewis for governor will be
voted for by the anti-silver Democrats, /
and Populists. The Re I
publican leaders say this scheme will /
insure the election of Mckinley cleo (
tors and Lewis for governor.
