imprisonment In Folsom Penitentiary.
General Court Notes

John Mehan, charged with the crime
of rape, was tried in department one, De-
fore Judge Smith, yesterday and ac-
quilted Just as soon as the jury could
make out the verdict of not guilty.
The case was a rather peculiar one IN
several respects. The defendant has
been living with the mother of the COM
planning witness, woman named
Brown, at San Fernando, and it was al
legged that the crime was committed at
that place on the person of the child,
who was then under IA years of age. The
only direct evidence against the defend
ant was that of the child although she
was partially corroborated by her
mother, and in consequence the jury was
compelled to return a verdict of acquit-
tai.
The father of the child. who is an old
soldier, was present in the court room
with one of his other children, boy,
while the mother occupied seat some
distance from him, in company with a
Spanish woman. Another one of the
family, boy almost grown, was wit
ness for Mehan.

BROUGHT BACK HOME
Millie Schau.r and Clara Oman Returned to
Their Parents


Millie Schauer or Holcomb and Clara
Oman, the girls who disappeared from
home last Saturday night and started
out to see the world and make their own
living, have been apprehended and yes
terday morning were brought back to
this city in charge of Deputy Constab BILE
George Tibbetts. who made the arrest.
At the time the girls ran away it was
ascertained that they had procured tick
cts for Bakersfield and Chief Glass tel
egraphed to the authorities there to stop
them, which was done. They got into
the town on Sunday morning, and at
once set about earning their living in
a practical way by selling tickets for a
dance which they proposed giving. They
had disposed of quantity when their
plans We're cut short by their arrest as
stated. Mrs. Holcomb was notified and
started for the north to meet the runa-
ways on their return.
She accompanied the girls to her home
at 740 South Spring street, where they
were once more installed, bag and bag
gage. as before they skipped out. Mrs.
Holcomb stated that their escapade was
purely the fault of Clara Oman, who, al
though two years younger than her
daughter, had exercised great influence
over her. The Oman girl, she said, in
duced her daughter Millie to leave home,
and it was their intention to go on to San
Francisco when they should have pro-
cured sufficient funds with which to pay
their fares.
Clara has expressed the greatest re-
gret for her action and manifested such
contrition that she will be allowed to
stay inthe Holcomb household as be-
fore the adventure. Both girls now see
the folly of their actions and will never
do so again.

Judgment for the Bank

The suit of James B. Rhoades against
the Farmers and Merchants bank to re-
cover 5000 was tried before Township
Justice Young yesterday. Rhoades had
placed in the bank some $500, which the
bank said he had checked altogether
out the last check for 1926 being in favor
of Charles Holton Rex and indorsed to
CT Webber, to whom the bank paid 5000
all of the money Rhoades had. Rhoades'
claim against the bank was that the
check was a forgery. The bank pre-
sented seven other checks of Rhoades.
and experts said that the signature upon
all, including the check in question.
were in the same hand. Justice Young
thought this was true. The only de-
fense that Rhoades could make to the
banks allegation that he had signed the
check was that he was not in town on
that day, so the court gave judgment
for the bank

Just now the superior judges are quite
busy making American citizens out Of
aliens, and some queer specimens
sometimes make application. Among
those before Judge Shaw yesterday was
Frederick Eyraud, who said that he was
a native of France, but when asked
where he was born cheerfully replied
Bakersfield. AS Eyraud did not under
stand anything about the system of gov
ernment under which he wished to en-
roll himself, and even less about the lam
guage, his applicat ton was denied.
