JUSTIFIABLE sELF.DEFENsE
II. B. DlbbIe Acquitted Of the KiiIing Of
J. F. Wallace
He Had to Slay the Man to Save His Own
Life-Some Very Strong Testi-
mony introduced '

In the police court yesterday morning,
before Justice Morrison, the examina-
tion of H. B. Dibble on charge of mur-
dering ]. F. Wallace on June IS last. dur
ing quarrel in crockery house on Los
Angeles street, was taken up on the part
of the defense. The evidence for 1'e
people was heard on July 27 last and the
matter continued from time to time since
then.
The morning session was taken up with
the testimony of twenty-five witnesses,
number of whom were members of the
Y. M. c. A., who testified as to the de-
ceased's quarrelsome disposition. The
sensation of the day was the testimony
of man named Peter McStay. He stat
ed that a short time before the killing
he was acting as a guide for Wallace in
the mountains on a hunting trip. One
morning Wallace took offense at some
remark made by McStay, and grabbing
up his gun. said he would kill him. 1t
was not his fault that he did not carry
his threat into execution. The weapon
failed to go off. whereupon Wallace en-
deavored to get hold of his rifle. Nc
Stay closed in on Wallace and succeeded
in disarming him, but they parted COM
pany then and there.
george Bayley,one of the proprietors of
the Pacific Crockery and Tinware COM
pany. by whom both men were employed
and in whose store the killing took face.
testified to having had several difficult
ties with Wallace and that the deceased
was quick tempered and of a quarrel
some disposition. A map of the premi-
ses was filed as an exhibit in the case.
and the story of the fatal alterca ton
gone over.
The afternoon session was begun at
2:30 and but three witnesses were called,
the last of whom was the defendant,
Dibble. He retold the facts leading up
to the killing and the attack on him by
Wallace, armed with hammer. At the
conclusion of evidence Henry T. Gage.
attorney for Dibble. made motion that
the case be dismissed and the defend
ant discharged, as it was plainly evident
that Dibble had only acted in self-de-
fense.-
To this motion Deputy District Attor-
ney Willis made no reply, tacitly acqui-
escing in the views expressed by Mr..
Gage. Accordingly Justice Morrison re-
leased the defendant and discharged him
from custody, exonerated from all blame.

circumstances in the life Of each one of
US in which Joy seeiils to be mingled
with sorrow
That the present occasion gives rise
hearts of the priests of this
diocese is, believe. the opinion
Of every one here present. This moment
seems to be one of the deepest sorrow
because we know that in a few days
you are about to depart from amongst
us, and bid adieu to the scenes of the
labors of lifetime, and because many
of US have today fear that we may never
again see you on the Pacific coast.
Dear Bishop, on the other hand, we
rejoice for your sake, because we know
your dearest wish has been realized
namely, to lay down from your shoul-
ders the responsibilities of the episco-
pate, and to be allowed to spend the re-
mainder of your life, which hope will
be many years, in peace among your
own kindred.
Some of us here present have known
you for upwards of thirty years. others
for few years only; but one thing we
can all say without adulation, that young
and old regret your resignation and de-
parture from our midst.
The sweetest recollections will ever re-
cur to our minds, whether we remember
you as simple priest or as our spiritual
chief, invested with the dignity and au
thority of the episcopacy.
Your forbearance and patience in our
shortcomings are known to all. And
If any fault could be found it would be
that sometimes you were too lenient, too
forgiving. to those who erred. Your max
i'm has been to conquer by kindness
rather than by rigor. You have con-
quered, because you have left California
carrying with you the esteem and affec-
tion of all the priests of your diocese.
You will also carry with you the pleas
ing recollection that under your benign
and fatherly care piety and religion have
flourished in the diocese. Under your
fostering care new parishes have been
formed, parochial schools, academies
and colleges been established, various
orders of religious teachers have been
admitted into the diocese, orphanages
have been opened here and there, new
churches in every part of the diocese,
and if sufficient means had been at
your disposal the monuments of your
The herald., 1896-10-23

zeal would have been still more numer-
Gus. Knowing that one of your charac-
teristics has been to deprive yourself
of comfort in order to enrich the diocese,
we deem it but just and proper that we
should on this occasion present you with
small testimonial raised among the
priests of the diocese. The regret of all
has been that we could not give as gen.
erously as our hearts would dictate or
your fatherly love would deserve.
Accept, then, this small sum as mark
of our esteem and affection for your lord
ship and of our appreciation of your la
bors in this diocese, as we'll as of the
fraternal love which you have mani
tested for each and all Of us.
May the priests that surround you at
this moment and those that are united
with us in spirit one day form your
crown in heaven and sing forever.
Ecce sacerdos magnus in diebos suis

Bishop Mora was visibly affected dur
ing the reverend fathers remarks, and
at the conclusion replied briefly, but
most feelingly substantially as follows:
My Dear Fathers: The nearer the day
of my departure approaches the harder
it seems for me to leave California and
this last meeting with you, my clergy,
who nave labored with me for the saliva
respect do but add to my embarrass-
ment. However, you are disposed to
credit me with more than my due. 1t
is true 1 have endeavored to do the best
could, but whatever the success, whilst
it may have been under my leadership,
the credit belongs to you, reverend faith
ers, to the religious orders of men and
women and to the faithful laity Of the
diocese.
disclaim any personal merit in the
matter, but I feel very deeply this dem
& lstration of your love and fealty.
If may add word, 1t Is to say to you
offer to my dear successor the same de-
votion, the same loyal support and ear
nest cooperation in the works of the dio-
cese that you have always shown to me,
and by so doing you will accomplish
most for the salvation of souls, for build
ing UP of the church and for the honor
and glory Of God. And now, dear faith
ers, goodbye.
The bishops remarks closed the for
NAL exercises and the remainder of the
evening was spent in general conversa-
tion and in bidding goodbye. In short
time Bishop Mora will leave for his old
home, where he hopes to pass his re-
naming days with kindred and friends.

Z At THE THEHTERS :

HAAAAAAA&AAAAAAAAAA44&&AAE

LOS ANGELES THEATER-The
last night and they were well enter
tained with an exceedingly acceptable
production of this comedy. Mr. Frank
Worthing as Jack Hammerton, we are
free to say. makes a much more intelli-
gent impersonation than that of young
Sothern. The role is one that calls for
a wide demarcation from the lines of
work this actor has yet given us, and the
conscientious manner in which he sus-
tanned the rather eccentric characters
tics of this young tradesman in love,
calls for anothe rtribute to Mr.. Worth
ing's exceptional histrionic ability.
Blanche Bates as Rose Thornhill was a
lovable girl and invested the part with
the measure Of the lines. Miss Ross,
too, as Louisa, was charmingly natural
and naturally charming. Mrs. Cook as
the widow was breezy and delightful.
and Mr.. Arbuckle as Sir Muffin and
Mr.. Clark as Cheviot gave two strong
examples of character work. Mr.. Bar
nett as Thornhill, Mr.. Leslie as Virgins,
and Mr.. Enos as Sir Evelyn were all
strong representations. We feel salts
fled that the theater will be crowded
tonight for the last production of The
Highest Bidder.
BURBANK THEATER.-Bayle Bar
nard's version of Goethe's Faust drew
a large audience last evening. The
scenes and incidents of this notable play
are so familiar that they need not be
dwelt upon specifically. All the peculiar
effects were heightened by the judicious
use of electric lights. The Brocken
scene was so impressive in it's weirdnesS
and startling details that it was a sort
of devilish fascination. Mr.. VIM. L..
Roberts, who heads the organization,
was the Mephisto, and was made up
with the usual flame -colored accessor-
les, besides a walking battery of cleo
tricity that flashed with his SWORD play
in the duel in the garden scene, and
followed his footsteps throughout the
play. In fact the atmosphere of the pit
accompanied the fiend everywhere. Mr..
Roberts differs from Mr.. Morrison in
his conception of Faust's familiar spirit,
his Mephisto is more amiable and less
mandatory. Miss Olive Martin as Mar
guerite is very clever and her mad scene
can scarcely be witnessed without a
shudder. She is lady of exceptional
beauty, has fine figure and good stage
presence. Mr.. Richard Cotton as Faus.
was all that could be desired; he gave
a very creditable presentation of Goe-
the's ideal, which requires the portrayal
of such varying emotions. Mr.. M. e.
Nichols gave most intelligent imper-
sonation of Valentine and Miss Anna
Eggleston as Martha was acceptable.
Miss Ray Lewis gave a very clever char
acter sketch-in the part of Elsie. The
company is a well balanced one and Is
known to our theater going public.
THE ORPHEUM.-The big vaudeville
bill at this house called for the use of

and fan palm trees. Smilax was taste
fully arranged here and there and made
a green background for the smaller
flowers which were distributed in great
abundance everywhere.
At each plate was a rosebud and a
spray of maidenhair fern, tied with a
purple ribbon, the episcopal colors.
During the banquet many toasts We're
made in behalf of the bishop, Father
McAuliffe acting as toastmaster, and
everyone wished him Godspeed in what
ever he might undertake.
