Jusn Melendes Accused of Tamperlng With q
Little Girl

In response to a telephone message,
Officer Long about o'clock yesterday
afternoon was dispatched to the corner
of Also and Los Angeles streets, where
it was said some one was abusing girl
in room. Arriving at the spot, the Off
Ger was directed up into a lodging house,
over a saloon, whence the cries had en-
anated.
Just as he had nearly reached the room
he met Mexican named Juan Jose Me-
lendes coming down the stairs and
stopped him. The policeman asked what
the trouble was, and Melendes said it
was nothing. that little girl had been
chastised by her mother, which was the
cause of the outcry. He seemed anxious
that Long should not investigate fur
ther, but this did not suit the officer.
Taking MelendeS with him, he went to
the door OF the room and knocked, but
no reply came. He then ordered the
Mexican to produce the key and unlock
it. At first the Mexican denied that he
had the key, but finally handed it over
Going into the room, Long found little
S-year- old girl named Victoria Santone,
who resides with her parents on Buena
VISTA street, between Alpine and College
streets. The child was badly frightened
and the room was in some disorder, the
bed being mussed up.
Melendes and the girl were both taken
to the station and questioned. He runs
a ranch in the San Fernando valley, and
Victoria's father works for him. He de-
MED having done anything to the girl,
and said she mad screamed merely be-
cause she became frightened. On the
other hand, the little girl said that on
Tuesday night he had taken her to the
room for awhile, but later on returned
her to her home. Yesterday afternoon
he again took her to the room and, plac-
ing her on the bed, took liberties with
her person. SHE resisted as best she
could Then Melendes took off his coat
and shoes and commenced to disrobe.
when he began to pull off his trousers
she became frightened at his actions and
screamed at the top of her voice for help.
The Mexican was locked up, mere
charge of suspicion" being entered
against him, and Victoria was held to
await a medical examination, which will
show to what extent she was tampered
with She is a bright little girl and sticks
to her story, not varying in the slightest
particular. Melendes is well connected
with some of the Oldest Spanish families
and has hitherto borne good reputa-
! ton.

The VIII Sustaiuei

Of Catalina Reynolds resulted in Judge
Clark deciding in favor of the will.
The chief beneficiary under the will
is Mrs. Barsaba b. De Fay. and the prop
erty involved is valued at $1,000, Of which
amount half is cash In hand.
In behalf Of the state it was contended
that Catalina Reynolds died intestate,
leaving no blood rcla lions minus next
Of kin, and that there being no person
entitled To the estate. 1t must escheat
to the state Of California. Furthermore,
it was alleged that the will offered was
not the last viii and testament of the
deceased. and was not signed by the
deceGent, nor by any person in her
presence. nor by her direction.
The point upon which most reliance
was placed was the lack of attestation
by two witnesses in the presence Of de-
