A Busy Day In the United States Circuit

Tails for Conducting Lottery Scheme.
General Court News

Walter Prescott, the would-be high
wayinan, who attempted to hold up
Frank Walker, q conductor on the Uni
versty electric car line on the night of
February 9Th last, was tried in depart
ment one before Judge Smith yesterday.
and convicted Of assault with intent to
rob. Prescott boarded the car near
Thirty first street. on it's last trip in, and
when the conductor came to him for his
fare he presented large revolver and
commanded Walker to give up his coin.
Walker retained his presence of mind.
and continued to engage the would-be
robber In conversation for a distance
of five or six blocks, when he caught him
off his guard and knocked him off the
car with his fist Thes,onductor did not
stop his car. and Prescott would never
have been arrested If he had kept his
mouth shut.
Some days later. however. in con-
fined in Folsom penitentiary at the same
time that Prescott was doing time, he
gave the whole thing away. The man
was making inquiries about another one
of the gang, when Prescott told him that
he had run away. The man in question,
he said, had been implicated with him
in attempting to hold up street car
conductor, and had lost his nerve and
left the city. When asked why he, too.
did not leave the city he said that there
was no danger. as he could not be iden-
titled, and he was therefore safe. Later
the man was telling about the incident
to a young Mexican lad, who in turn
hunted up Police officer Talamantes.
and Prescott's arrest followed.
At the trial yesteray Prescott was pos
itively identified by the plucky conduc-
: tor as the man who had tried to hold
him up, and all the evidence went to
show that he was the right man. In his
defense, Prescott swore that he was not
in the city at the time of the attempted
robbery, but was engaged In beating his
way to Los Angeles from Arizona On
his arrival in the city he had been ar
rested by the police on charge of hav-
ing stolen lot of tobacco. but this could
rot be proven against him and he was
released. He was again arrested on the
same charge, but the prosecution fell
down on this also and he was again re-
leased. but was subsequently arrested
on the charge on which he was being
tried.
The story told by Prescott was such a
palpable fabrication that the jury wasted
but little time in elaboration, and re-
turned a verdict of guilty as charged.
