Arrest Of a Hobo Who Has Been Often

Arrest Of a Hobo Who Has Been Often In
Jail
After one days liberty from durance
vile George Anderson, or, as he was for
merly known, William Phillips, is again in
the jug. Deputy Constable Mugnemi
gathered him in on Main street yesterday
morning for begging. He resisted the
officer, and only after lively tussle was
he subdued. A bystander came to Mug
nemi's assistance and the prisoner was
finally handcuffed.
Under the name of Phillips the same
man was formerly in the city chain gang,
but one morning while seated on dirt cart
he struck the attending officer from the
wagon and made his escape. He was
eventually recaptured and served a sixty
day sentence. On his release he left town,
and but few days later showed up in the
county Jail on ten-day sentence from Po-
mona. Sunday his term expired, and by
Monday noon he was again behind prison
bars.
On being arraigned before Justice Owens
Anderson demanded jury trial and the
case was continued.

diplomacy between the two nations.
8Resolved, That the United States and
Great Britain, as Christian nations, can

A COAL MINE DEAL

The Case Of Penny baker VS.. BraIy on Trial
Beiors Judge Van Dyke
The trial of the case of George F. Pen
nybaker VS.. Arthur H. Braly ct al. was
commenced before Judge Van Dyke, in de-
partment four, yesterday. This is a suit
involving deal in coal lands in New Mex
leo. Pennybaker alleges in his complaint
that in May. 1895, o.; representation made
by Braly, he was induced to purchase
$685. shares of stock of the Los Angeles
Coal company. paying therefor $500 in
cash and giving his promissory note for
resented that the company owned
48O acres of coal lands near
Gallup. New Mexico, on which there was
q profitable vein of Ignite coal; further
that the mines were developed and that
there was sufficient coal in Los Angeles to
were being made at a profit. Pennybaker
says that after he bought the stock he
found that the representations were not
truc, and alleges that they we're made for
the purpose of defrauding him, for which
reason he wished to get out of the COM
pany. and demanded the return of his
money and the cancellation of his note.
Mr.. Braly and his associates, in their an
swer, deny that there we're any false rep
reservations or any intent to defraud. The
case was represented just as it was. Pen
nybaker was told that $4,000 to SIS, 900
had been expended in developing the
mines. and that the assets of the corpora
ton exceeded the liabilities. The possibil-
tiles of the enterprise were set forth, with
proper management, but no promises were
made. When Pennybaker had bought the
stock, and afterwards expressed his dis
satisfaction at the condition of affairs, an
agreement was entered into by which the
accounts were exported. and it was
shown that the corporation was solvent,
the assets exceeding the liabilities by
$4,000. The agreement is set forth in
the answer and bears Pennybaker's sigma
ture, showing that he was party to the
contract. They claim that there was no
deception, that it was plain business
proposition, and that Pennybaker has no
cause for action and must abide by his bar
gain.
1t is claimed that after Pennybaker en-
tered the company he found that he could
not manage the business, when he became
dissatisfied and wanted to back out.
The trial of the case will be continued to-
day.

The Penny baker-Braly Coal Mine Deal.
Eight Supreme Court Opinions Received
for Fi!ing-uenerai Court Notes

Three people, two men and one woman,
were examined yesterday in the superior
court as to their mental condition. One
man and one woman were committed to
the insane asylum, while one man, al
though 'little off, was not dangerous to
be at large, and was discharged. This is
about the 'sfull of the moon,'' and from
some cause the number of lunatics APP
pears to reach the highest notch every
month about this time. Deputy Sheriff
Murietta has been keeping statistics for
years, and the records of the sheriff's
Office and the courts show this to be cor
rect.
s. W. Livingston, man SO years OF
age. was examined by commission con-
sisti1g of Drs. Cochran and Dodge, before
Judge Mckinley, and was discharged.
This was q rather peculiar case. The par
ties live in Pasadena, and Liv-
inRston's wife, aged 70 years.
was the complaining witness. Living
ston was represented by his attorney,
G. A. Gibbs. From the testimony it ap-
pears that there is about 900 worth of
property involved, all of which 5is in the
wife's name. After the wife and her
Wheeler, has testified as to the old gentle
mans idiosyncracies, several of his neigh
bors gave testimony in his behalf, all
agreeing that his mind was uniinpaired,
except as to slight leaning toward Christ
ian science. The old gentleman then told
his story, and soon convinced everyone
that he was as strong mentally as man
of his age ordinarily is. He said that the
cause of all his trouble was the daughter,
who wanted to get him out of the way.
He said that on one occasion an attempt
had been made to poison him. and he de-
scribed the occurrence with great particu-
larity. At the close of his testimony he
was ordered discharged. His attorney
stated that the wife would probably now
give the husband money to go to his chill
dren in the east, which was all that he
wanted.
Martin Mortimer, a man about 35 years
of age, was examined by the same COM
mission before the same judge. Mortimer
was as mad as the proverbial March hare,
and was ordered committed to the asylum
at Highlands. The man was found on
Figueroa street Friday and taken to the
police station, where he attempted to hang
himself that evening. Later he was taken
to the county Jail, where he again tried to
hang himself, but was discovered in time
to prevent fatal results. He was brought
into court with mufllers on, and two deputy
sheriffs stood beside him to prevent mis-
chief. He has been working in Declez'
stone quarry in San Bernardino county,
and says that he has wife and three
children in that place.
Mrs. Frances iardner, an elderly woman, /,
vas examined by commission consisting
pf Drs. Dawson and Mathis, before Judge
York, and it being shown that she was in
capable of caring for herself. was ordered
committed to the asylum at Highlands.
