with other symptoms which he described,
led the saloon man to think that the
men were sick, and consequently when
they came back to the bar and one asked
for port wine, he suggested blackberry
brandy as better medicine for what
allied him. The witness declared that he

BETTER CITY GOVERNMENT
Closing Rally Of the Municipal Reform
League
The Los Angeles Theater Was Crowded
With Sympathizers in the Move
ment-Music and Oratory.

The closing rally of the campaign Of
the Better City Government league, at
the Los Angeles theater last evening,
was all that its projectors could have
wished. The house was crowded from
pit to dome and the audience appeared
to be thoroughly in sympathy with the
speakers, who were conservative In their
statements and confined their remarks
principally to a general discussion of the
desirability of reform in the system of
municipal government. Not much was
said either in praise or condemnatio of
any candidate on any ticket In that re-
spect the meeting differed radically
from the average political campaign
meeting. The various speakers handled
their subjects in a mastery manner and
spoke briefly and to the point. Many
ladies were present and the audience, in
appearance, did not differ much from
the usual theater attendance.

The first of the series of prosecutions
of alleged violators Of the liquor ordin-
ance, begun by the Parkhurst society,
was tried before Police Justice d. c.
Morrison yesterday. From the begin
ming Of the trial in the morning until its
close in the evening the court room was
crowded with people more or less In
terested in the case. Charles Picken-
bach of the Olive saloon had the distinc-
ton of being the first Of the score of de-
PENDANTS to be accorded a trial on the
charge of selling liquor, to-wit: whisky,
between the hours of IL o'clock midnight
and a. m. He was represented by
Enoch Pepper, Esq, and the prosecution
was conducted by l.. B. Scranton. Esq,
assisted by Assistant City Attorney
Frank J. Thomas.

WHO ARE ON THE LIST?


Since it became publicly known that
the Parkhurst society had embarked
upon this crusade there has been mucn
uneasiness manifested among the sa
loon men, some of whom claim to have
been put on their guard in time to save
themselves. Though no one knows
where lightning will next strike it is
not fair to prejudice any man. The liet
of saloons against which complaints
were said to have been issued as pub
lished in The Herald Friday morning,
seems in the light of later develop
ments, to have been premature, and
SO far as is now known positively, was
incorrect in some particulars. The list
as published in The Herald was fur
nished to this paper by an accredited
representative of the Parkhurst So
ciety, who was sent to the editorial
rooms of The Herald by Rev. c. c. Nc
Lean. The source of Information was
such as to guarantee it's correctness. 1t
is asserted now, by those who ought to
know, that though the complaints have
not yet been sworn to, all Of the people
then enumerated, save only Jerry Hitch
and Gilmore & Zorb, are on the list of
those against whom the committee has
secured evidence of some character.
WAS ABOUT RIGHT.
A Herald reorter called on Rev. c. c.
Mclean at his home late last night to
verify the correctness of the informa-
ton thus far given as to who are to be
the special objects of the Parkhurst So
ciety's attention. When Mr.. Mclean
was told that some people claimed that
The Herald's list of saloon men who
would be prosecuted was incorrect and
mere guess work." the minister said:
Although the publication of the names
was premature you can say that all
with the exception Of about two, of the
places are really on the list 1t is true
we have not yet secured warrants for
them but time Will show that the list
was not far wrong"
TIME FOR EDELMAN.
The case against Edelman, of the
Nadeau bar. was called in Justice Nor
risons court yesterday morning, but
was continued, owing to the absence of
witnesses for the defense.
The herald., 1896-12-06

Ipside down."

Now 1t is learned that the Parkhurst
society is in prize fighting. In brief, the
society that has publicly indorsed Julius
Martin for mayor and denounced M. p.
Snyder has set about to suppress the
Los Angeles Athletic club. 1t may seem,
at first glance, that to knock out this
club, which includes in its membership
a large number of the best citizens of
Los Angeles, would require more skill
and endurance than the Parkhurst peo-
pie have been accredited WITH but their
committee took fighting lesson at the
club gymnasium recently and knows
how to do it.
A committee of that society had seats
at the recent match between Billy Gal
lagher and Tom Slater in the club gym
nasum. The people on the committee
were not spotted, owing to the great va
riety of citizens in the audience, but it
is known they were there with the fixed
purpose of getting evidence against the
club, in order to close it up.
Now, no one has hitherto found any
thing against the Athletic club, except
the few who object to glove contests such
as occasionally given at the gym, but
the Parkhurst committee looks upon
these bouts as prize fighting ana is
bound to suppress it, and will use toward
that end the evidence found at the Gal
lagher-Slater set-to.
AS the exhibition itself was not illegal
and consequently beyond reach of pros
ecution, the committeeman will under
take to make use of the fact that the
club sold general tickets of admission to
the show, which is said to be against
the provisions of it's charter The numer-
Gus members of the Athletic club will
naturally resent any interference from
the Martini -Parkhurst league.
AND DANCING ALSO.
A committee of the Parkhurst league
was at the masked ball held in Turn
verein hall last evening, on the everlast-
ing search for evidence" Naturally
many people will wonder what the So
ciety can find against anything so strict
~ circumspect as a masked ball, but it
was not 1.-The dancers that the ministeri-
al detectives were after. They were
spotting the beer privilege, with the in
tent of finding a breach of law that
would call for a warrant and prosecu-
ton. The committee was not only de-
termined to see if beer was sold to the
dancers after midnight but would see
if the kegs were carried upstairs to be
tapped--a proceeding said to be illegal.
At any rate, the Parkhurst committee,
The herald., 1896-12-06

was actuated purely by philanthropic
motives, for blackberry brandy costs
more than port wine, and he was giving
advice against his own good. Picken-
bach had no suspicion of the sinister mo-
tives of his visitors until he was arrested.
The only other evidence given for the
defense was by character witnesses,
number Of whom said good words for
him.
The prosecution waived the opening
argument, and Mr.. Pepper was the first
to plead. He first undertook to cast
discredit upon the motives of the prose-
cutting witnesses and then he attacked
the methods. He declared that but for
their assumed condition Of distress, the
two men could have got nothing at the
bar, and his clients humanity was i'm
posed upon to such an extent that he
really prescribed for the supposed ailing
stranger. The attorney undertook to
present a possible variation of time
pieces, which could not make the time
absolutely exact where only two or
three or even five minutes were involved.
The attorney directed some shafts of rid
icule at the Parkhurst society, directing
his personal remarks to Revs. J. A. b.
Wilson and c. c. Mclean who cheerful
ly sat in front seats throughout the trial.
Then the attorney for the prosecution,
Mr.. Scranton, made an able argument,
in which he summarized the evidence
and quoted the law in a convincing way.
He declared that as Pickenbach was
not being tried for selling the blackberry
brandy to Mr. Ryder and the beer to
Mr.. Ball, but for selling them flask of
whisky five minctes after midnight,
the motives and sentiments of the de-
fendant in suggesting blackberry
brandy as remedy for the supposed
bowel trouble Of Mr. Ryder cut no figure.
The defendant was charged with selling
the whisky between the hour of mid
night and o'clock in the morning, which
is against the ordinance, and even
though it was only five minutes past
midnight when the offense was commit
ted the defendant had violated the law.
He denied that the witness had pre-
tended to be sick and il the defendant

made the Inference he did it on his own
account
At the conclusion of the attorneys ad.
dress Justice Morrison said: Il Will
pass upon this case some time during the
coming week."
Both sides left the court room feeling
satisfied and confident, though disinter
ested people thought the margin very
narrow for the prosecution.
Earlier in the morning the case against
Edelman. Charles Steinfeldt, barkeeper
for Henry, was called but on the show
ing that some important witnesses for
the defense were unavoidably absent the
case was continued.
