A MAYNARD GIRL IN PRISON
EVIL ASSOCIATIONS CORRUPT A GELD
NOT YET IA YEARS OLD
Her Father Heart-Broken over Her Actions
Left Home Last Saturday Night and
Did Not Return-Captured In Bed in
Lodging House

sad case of youthful depravity came to
light yesterday when ii young girl, scarcely
more than child, was arrested In lod2-
ing house on Main street and placed IN
prison to await examination and commit
ment to Whittier. Something over year
ago V. Kestner. who then lived in Kansas
City, separated from his wife. kestner
came west and finally located in Los An
geles. When the couple parted it was mll-
tually understood that the children should
be divided between them.
Arriving here he secured work as la
borer and saved his money. AS soon as
possible he sent for his daughter Anna who
is not yet quite II years of age. About
two months ago she arrived, and he look
her to a cosy little home he had furnished
for them on Ord street. near Buena VISTA
Here she was established as the household
queen, and the old father was overjoyed at
having his child with him once more.
Kestner worked at anything he could find
to do and provided for their necessities in
good manner. Little Anna is a rather pre-
possessing child and. having good deal of
spare time on her hands while her father
was away, soon made acquaintances in
the neighborhood. Her actions went from
bad to worse, and in spite of repeated adj
monitions from her parent, she persisted
in running with crowd of young toughs
who infest that neghborhood. Last Satur-
day evening she left her home and did not
return. The distracted Father searched Tor
her nearly all night and finally sought the
assistance of the police in finding his
daughter.
Officer Long, who lives in the vicinity of
the kestner home. and who knew the girl,
was put upon her track. He located her
in lodging house, but before he could
find her she had moved. Several times he
seemed OH the point of capturing her, but
every night she put up at a different stop
ming placa. TN Monday she went to Santa
Monica with a married man and remained
over night, returning to the city on Tues
day. The evening OF that day she spent IN
Sonoratown among the characters who fre-
quent that locality.
She had engaged a room in the Chicago
lodging house on Main street, and here
Long laid in wait for her until after mid
night. Not having returned at that hour
he gave up the search, but returned yester-
day morning and found her in bed in
room. She was taken to the city prison
and placed in a cell. On medical exam
ination it was found that she was already
afflicted with terrible disease, contracted
from her vicious habits. The father was
notified and will today appear when she is
brought up for examination.
kestner is about 30 years old and re-
spectacle and Woodworking man. He feels
keenly his daughters disgrace and seems
nearly heart-broken by her actions. The
girl herself does not seem to appreciate the
grave folly of her course, and will probably
be placed in the reform school during her
minority.

Reversed the Trial Court

The opinion of the supreme court in the
case of Henry Susskind, plaintiff and ap-
pellant, VS.. A. l. Hall, intervenor and re-
spondent, and J. {. Cline. defendant and
respondent, was received at the office of
the clerk in this city yesterday for filing.
The judgment of the trial court is reversed
and the cause is remanded for new trial.
In September, 1S92, Mrs. L. NJ. Wagner,
who was conducting jewelry business in
Los Angeles, managed principally by her
husband, j. B. Wagner, was adjudged an
inSoivent debtor, and A. |. Hall was elected
and qualified assignee of the estate.
Later the assignee sold the goods at public
auction, under order of the court. to Henry
Susskind for $7100. Susskind at once en-
tered on possession and continued the
business Until July, 1898, at which time
j. G.. Cline, as sheriff, took possession of
the goods under a writ of attachment as the
property of L. NJ. Wagner, the insolvent.
Susskind on the same day notified the
sheriff that the property taken was his and
demanded a return thereof, but his
demand was refused. He then COM
menced action to recover the property.
or the value thereof, alleged to be
$4,000 and damages. A. |. Hall, the as
signee, alleged that Susskind conspired
with the insolvent and her husband to
secrete part of the stock, and afterwards
took possession of the same, knowing that
it was part of the insolvent's estate and
should have been turned over to the as
signee. On the trial the court found that
prior to the insolvency proceedings. part
of the stock had been secreted to prevent
it coming into the hands of the creditors,
ETC., and it was ordered THAT judgment be
entered in favor of the intervenor for the
possession of the property. and in favor of
defendant against plaintiff for his COSTS"
From this judgment an appeal was taken.
The supreme court says that, it follows
that the court clearly erred in judging that
the intervenor. as assignee of the insolv-
ent. was entitled to the possession of all
the property described in plaintiffs COM
plant; and the judgment and order APP
pealed from should therefore be reversed.
and the cause remanded for new trial.
The opinion is written by Commissioner
Belcher, concurred in by Commissioners
Britt and Searls, and affirmed by JUS
tees Harrison, Garoutte and Van Fleet.

A PIECE CLIPPED OEE
The Supreme Court Decides q Los Angeles
County Case

TIC SHprems court Decldes q Los Angeles
County Case
The state supreme court has decided the
case of Annie l.. Sloan versus the Southern
California Railway company, affirming the
judgment of the lower court only in part
The higher court says that the judgment
be affirmed if the plaintiff would strike off
$1,000; otherwise the case must be tried
again. Mrs. Sloan was expelled from a
train at East Riverside because the con-
ductor had forgotten to give her a check
when he had collected her ticket. The dis
turbance of the nervous system resulting
from the humiliation of being put off the
train caused her to become ill. The
supreme court says that illness from such
cause is quite within the range of possi-
bility and the jury was right in deciding as
it did-that the illness had resulted from
the shock to the nerXous system.
