Richter Pleaded drunkenness


John Richter, the German baker who, on
the 18th inst, made murderons assault
on W. i. Boyle, an employe of the Los An
geles Iron and Steel works. was yesterday
examined before Township Justice Young
and held TO answer in $1,000 bail.
The case is peculiar one. Richter, very
much under the influence of liquor, went
to the steel works, at the foot of Short
street, and picked up piece of iron, say
ing that he wanted it for stove. Boyle
ordered him to put the iron down and
leave the building, when Richter whipped
out a butcher knife and made wicked
lunge at bin, remarking that lie would dis
embowel him for his interference Boy lie
jumped back, when Richter made another
lunge. Seeing that the man was danger
ons, Boyle called some of his fellow en-
ployes. when he was overpowered and
locked up until the arrival of the officers.
On being searched. besides the butcher
knife, a butchers cleayer. hatchet and a
razor were found on his person.
AT the eXamna' ion yesterday this for
mdable array of murderous implements
was very attractively displayed, and hen
the case for the people was closed, Richter
took the stand to make a statement in his
own behalf. He then proceeded in his al.
most indescrihabie dialect to give his ac.
count of the affair. He acknowledged that
the implements we're his, and that he used
them in his business. the razor being fer
cutting bread, French bread, he explained
He further explained that he vas going to
bid a friend goodbye, aud that they had
drank wine, much wine. he said, and he be-

President and Cabinet.

'ln all important matters the Prcsi.

in the Ladies's Home journal. IN an
article upon 1.-The Presidents Duties. 4"
"He is responsible for all executive
action, and everything that is out of
the routine receives his attention.
Every important foreign complication
is usually discussed with him, and the
diplomatic note receives his approval.
The same thing is true OF each OF the
departments. Routine matters pro.
ceed without the knowledge or inter.
ference of the President; but, II any
matter of major Importance arises the
Secretary presents 1t for the consid.
Grafton and advice of the President.
Only y matters OF great and general i'm

of the administration are discussed in
the Cabinet meetings-according 10

IL Is discussed; but usually questions
are settled in conference between the
President and the head OF the particu.
lar department. There is yielding
of views, now on one side, now on the
other; but il must, OF course, follow
that when the President has views that
he feels he cannot yield, those views
must prevail, for the responsibility is
his, both in u Constitutional and pop.
ular sense. My habit was to give an
afternoon to each Cabinet officer, on
fixed day of the week. These meetings
were chiefly given up TO the consid.
Grafton of appointments, but il any
other matters were pending, and
deemed by the Secretary of sufficient
Importance, they were presented and
discussed. The lahors of Cabinet of.
iicer are incessant and full of responsi.
bility. His time is largely taken up
with calls, and, like the President, he
must, out of such fragments of time
as he can secure, manage to study and
decide the important questions that
are daily presented TO him. Certain
appointments, chiefly of clerical
character, are by law given to She
heads OF the departments, and With
these the President usually refuses to

so. Ii was my practice TO refuse 10

the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply TO constipated condi-
ton Of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs, prompt
ly removes. That Is why IL Is the only
remedy with millions of families, and Is
everywhere esteemed 80 highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that II is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without dcbilitating the
organs on which it acts. ltis there fore
all important, in order 20 get its bcne-
fetal effects, TO note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which Is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
