crsIg's Death Warrant

Return has been made upon the death
warrant of John Craig by Charles Aull,
warden of the state prison at Folsom. the
lugubrious document having been re-
ceived at the courthouse yesterday
afternoon
While the crimes of which Craig was
guilty. and for one of which he has now
paid the extreme penalty. were. of such
an atrocious character as to debar him
from much sympathy. there is something
vindictively gpewsome in seeing the
names Of ~. d. Hunter, Joe Hunter and
George Hunter figuring upon the. Of
fetal return as witnesses to the infiiction
OF the death penalty in the Folsom
prison.
From first to last the Craig trial was
one of the most memorable of any that
have taken place in Southern California,
and the amount Of cold type and print
ers' ink expended upon 1t was very large
The transcript of the testimony for sub
mission to the supreme court made a
handsome appearing volume of 444 pages,
and thirty of these volumes were print
ed. An appeal has now been taken to a
higher court. and Craig has passed from
human Jurisdiction.

AN INnUMAN HUSBAND
Charges of Brutality Preferred Against Et
Hamblin by His Wife

In the police court yesterday a COM
plant was sworn out against Henry Ed
ward Hamblin, who resides at sos How
ard street, charging him with the crime
or battery upon his wife, Ed Hamblin,
as he is generally known, was formerly
a teamster in the employ of Contractor
Donegan. but has of late done little or
nothing. About five months ago he
married Mrs. Sherer, whose former
husband was fireman and died some
thing over year ago. When they were
married Mrs. Sherer had four children
by her former husband, the oldest being
boy of II. To these children the father
LETT sum of money at his death, to be
kept for them until of age. Mrs. D. G.
Stephens of the Orphans home was made
guardian.
On Friday Humane Officer Clark re-
ceived a report that Hamblin was brut-
ally abusing and beating his wife and
her children and went down to investi-
gate. He found the woman with a black
eye and other bruises, but the husband
was present and she dared not say he
did it. Yesterday, however, she came to
the police station and told her story.
She said Hamblin continually maltreat-
ed her and her children, so much so that
the latter were afraid to stay around
the house. To Capt. Clark she exhibited
numerous bruises on her person, some Of
which might have proved serious as she
is in delicate condition.
Mrs Hamblin was afraid of her life,
as her inhuman husband had threatened
to kill her, and it was only on the assur-
ance that she should be protected that
she swore to the complaint. Later on in
the day Mrs. Stephens, the legal guar
dian, went to the house and removed the
two youngest children to the Orphans
home where they will be cared for. They
are Otto and Emma, and 8 years Of age.

bins arrest and he will undoubtedly
soon be behind the bars.

More Water Trouble Down at San

The Hot Weather Developing the HaIIuclua-
tions Of the nsntaIiy Unsound-A Batch
Of New Citizens for Uncle Sam

The trial of ]. L. Lewith In depart
ment one OF the superior court, came
to an untimely end yesterday.
During the morning various employees
of the Peoples store were placed upon
the witness stand to prove that the de-
fendant had never purchased the ar
ticles in the store where he was en-
ployed, and which were found at his
home when search was made.
Police Detective Auble recited the
facts in connection with the arrest OF
the defendant. Upon being summoned
to the store he had a conversation with
Mr.. Hamburger, after which the de-
fendant was called into the office. He
later expressed q desire to see his en-
ployer in private and did so. Later, In
company with Mr.. Humphreys, Detec-
tive Auble went to Lewith's home on
Hope street, and there found quantity
OF silks, laces, dress goods, etc. The
silk was found in a trunk which had to
be broken open, as the defendant said
he didn't know where the key was.
Lewith was reticent. but did maoe de-
NAL of the goods having been taken
from the Peoples store. When the mis-
cellaneous effects were removed to the
store Lewith was placed under arrest.
His wife was present, and both she and
he were very much affected, Lewith
saying that 1t had been understood that
there should be no arrest.
The various witnesses were subjected
to a rigid cross examination by Mr.. LIE
Compile Davis, the tendency of the de-
fense being to show that the goods had
been purchased at the store in legiti-
mate manner.
When the case for the prosecution
closed, counsel for the defense made a
motion that the court instruct the jury
to acquit the defendant on the ground
that the evidence was at variance with
the allegations of the information.
Upon reconvening after the noondaS
recess Judge Smith retired the jury. and
then drew the attention of Judge Will
iams to the fact that the entire case of
embezzlement hinged on the circum-
stance as to whether the defendant, at
the time the alleged offense was COM
mitted. was in charge of the goods in
the store. 1t being conceded that though
head Of department he was none the
less an employe of the firm the goods
actually being in charge of Mr.. Ham
burger. In such case the court stated
that the defendant. in his opinion, was
guilty of larceny or nothing.
The jury having again taken thelr
seats in the jury box they received in
structions to acquit the defendant for
the reason as stated, and q return was
made without retiring.
In compliance with the request of the
district attorneys office. the defendant
was held until a new information could
be filed, his bail being reduced to $1,000.
AS the case stands, Lewith can be
charged with grand larceny. the goods
being valued at $S5. But there is draw

CEMENT SIDEWALK BY THE MILE
How Q Local Firm Of Contractors flea sure
Their Work

Perhaps the most remarkable feature
OF the growth of Los Angeles during the
past few years is the vast amount of
cement. or artificial stone, sidewalks
laid upon the business and residence
streets. People have become used to
seeing the name of Clark & Neimann
upon the most important and best laid
sidewalks throughout the city, but few
know that the business has grown to
such size that these contractors, who
are we'll known as a reliable and enter
prising firm, are obliged to purchase in
cargo lots and lay sidewalks by the mile.
They have just bought cargo of Alsen
Portland cement, which is considered
the best made, from William Wolff &
Co., and have 1t stored in their ware
house. 1t may interest the public to
know that this enterprising firm has re-
moved from 108 South Broadway to
commodious quarters at 244 South
broadway, and it may not be amiss to
state that they do all kinds of cement
work known to the trade in the best
manner.

The child's father is gambler and
left his wife some time ago. The girl in
the absence of firm but kindly restraint
began to seek fun in associating with
rough boys and girls.
The showing made against the incor-
rigible but rather demure looking girl
by her mother and sister being fully up
to the average testimony in such cases
in strength and directness the court
made the necessary order that Annie re-
main for the remainder of her minority
