THE ARGUMENT COMMENCED
THE GREAT HHADW0RKS TRIAL IS RAP.
IDLY NEARING THE END
Gen. Chapman Opens for Messrs. Pomeroy
and Hooker, and Is Followed by nr. Sc OFT
for the PeopIe-An Important Point In
Probate Lsw Decided by Judge Clark.

Argument commenced in the great head
works condemnation suit before Judge
Shaw yesterday. The city had secured
some valuable testimony after the adjourn
mont of court, which they wished to intro
duce, but Judge Shaw declined to again
open up the case and the argument
opened. The courtroom was comfortably
filed. most of those i'll attendance being
the civil engineers and other experts who
had testified on one side or the other, with
fair sprinkling of attorneys.
Gen. Chapman opened for Messrs. Pom
eroy & Hooker. The general is regarded
as one of the best authorities on water
laws in the state, and he had fortified him.
self with large amount of data in support
of his contention. The speaker ridiculed
tke testimony offered by the experts for
the city, being especially severe on Mr..
Purcell. He said it was an absurd propo.
sition to claim that all the water which fell
over the watershed became part of the
Los Angeles river. The water on the
Providencia ranch had no connection with
the Los Angeles river. 1t was percolating
water and belonged to the land. General
Chapman further pointed out that the ex-
perts for the city had failed to account for
several thousand inches of water which
even they admitted had fallen. The cross
section made by the city on which so
much stress was laid, he said was abb
solutely worthless. so far as proving
anything was concerned. Another matter
touched upon by General Chapman was
what he called the unfair manner in which
the calculations made by these experts as
to the rnn-off and evaporation had been
made. He declared that all his side
wanted we're the facts in the case, and that
this apparently was not what was wanted
by the other side. General Chapman care
fully dissected the testimony of each ex-
pert. and reiterated his statement that by
no stretch of the Imagination could the
water in question be connected with the
flow of the Los Angeles river. 1t was per-
colating water pure and simple, and as
such belonged to the owners of the land.
General Chapman spoke for about five
hours.
Mr.. Scott of Lee & Scott followed for the
city. Mr.. Scott in his turn ridiculed the
statements of General Chapman, and in a
general way claimed that all the water,
both on the surface and underground, be-
longed to the Los Angeles river, and that
any diversion would lessen the flow in the
stream.
Today Judge Variel will follow Mr.. Scott
and City Attorney Dunn will probably
close for the city.
