AN INNOCENT MAN.
Three Years In Prison, Convicted by
Perjured Testimony.

An innocent man who has been for
three years inside of the walls of San
Quentin will walk forth from them free
tomorrow through the pardon of Gov
ernor Budd.
Edward L. Baker of Los Angeles Is
the man. He was born in New York
and came to Los Angeles some years
ago and engaged in mining. He and his
partner, man named Hays. were ar
rested and charged with forgery. Hays,
IN order to escape conviction, perjured
himself, and laid all the blame on the
shoulders Of Baker, who was conse-
Quently convicted and sent to San
Quentin for fourteen years, going there
on December 1, 1898
Since that time he has never been
outside the prison walls, except for
eight days, when he was taken out to
testlfy in a certain case. He has always
peen an exemplary prisoner, winning
the good will of the prison officials by
MS good behavior. A short time ago
nays died, and on his deathbed, stricken
oy remorse, he sent for notary and
confessed that he had perjured himself,
ana that he, and not Baker, had COM
mitted the forgery
Hon. James McLachlan, who was Dis
trict Attorney at the time of Baker,
trial, all the members of the Grand and
petit juries, Hon. E. N. Rose, Judge of
the United States Circuit Court; Judge
u. j. Dennis, United States District At
torney, and others, have all petitioned
the Governor for Bakers pardon. At
torney-General Fitzgerald has been spe-
cially active in working for it, and the
Governor, relying on his opinion, has
granted the pardon

THE FINE REDUCED.
Judge Hinkson Will Not Require
Helms to Pay So nuch.

Judge Hinkson yesterday reduced the
fine of 500 which he had imposed on
Game Warden Helms to $50
Helms was charged with assault with
deadly weapon a short time ago, but
the jury only found him guilty of sim
pie assault A number of State officials,
prominent citizens and nine of the jury
petitioned Judge Hinkson to remit or
reduce the fine. Taking into considera-
ton this fact, and finding that Helms
was unable to pay so heavy a fine and
that 1t might interfere with his duties
as county officer, besides the testi-
mony Of prominent witnesses that his
character had always been that of a
peaceable and forbearing man and that
the matter was not serious one. the
Judge felt justified in thus reducing the

A GRANGER ROBBED.
rlamie Copeland and Her Lover Ar.
rested For II.

1t was reported at police headquarters
yesterday morning that Mamie Cope
land, a dusky damosel Of lower L street,
had relieved a sociably inclined gran
ger of his wallet which contained $14.
Officers Fisher and Taylor investi-
gated and as result brought in Mamie
and a white man named Matt Glynn,
who is said to be her steady company.
No evidence was discovered to show
that Mamie had stolen the Eranger's s
money, but the officers considered the
woman and Glynn unornamental, and
decided to prefer charges of vagrancy
against them.
Mamie Copeland is well known to the
Sacramento police force, having been
convicted of robbery something over a
year ago, and sentenced to one year at
the Folsom prison, which she served.
She, at that time, was arrested shortly
after the robbery occurred, and at the
police station Sergeant McManus had
her searched, thereby securing the purse
Of her victim, which was put in evidence
and did much toward securing con-
viction.
