street.
Both Kramer and Harris had been
stopping at the Monterey for couple OF
weeks until they owed a small bill for
accommodations On the Gath of October
Kramer approached Frederick and offer
ed to pay his bill, rendering check
drawn in his favor on the Farmers and
Merchants bank for $226s, purporting
TO have been signed by w. A. Henry &
Co., commission merchants at ISL North
Los Angeles street. At the time Freder-
lex refused to take the check, telling
Kramer to wait until the next day, have
it cashed and pay his bill.
Two days afterward, on sunday, the
26th, Kramer again offered Frederick the
same check, offering as an excuse for
not cashng it that he had been in Pas
adena during banking hours the day be-
fore. He wanted the money, and as all
seemed right and his explanation prob
able the paper was cashed. BY the time
the check had been presented at the
bank on Monday and denounced as a
forgery Kramer and Harris had skipped
the town. The forgery was, however,
an excellent one, nearly deceiving the
sharp eyed bank officials. who say that
the maker must be an expert in his line.
Frederick Immediately reported the
matter to the police and an investigation
was begun. Detectives Auble and Haw
ley found that the men had left for the
north. and sent by telegraph full descrip-
tions of them with instructions to arres.

A Suit Against T. E. AuIl Of the hoi-

Libel Suit Against the Times Ia the Circuit
Court Goes Over
The Monthly Report of the County Aud
itor-A Young Servant Girl Be-
comes Insane-Notes.

On Wednesday young Charities was
acquitted in department one of having
burglarized the paint store of J. War
rem in East Los Angeles. Yesterday
T. ]. Brown, the companion of Charities,
was brought to trial for participating
in the same offense.
The evidence in both cases was much
the same, but when Brown went upon
the witness stand yesterday in his own
defense and attempted to explain away
his possession of lot of painters truck,
as well as. sundry pairs of spectacles,
several pcckethooks and other miscel-
laneous effects he went far toward dam
aging his case
He stated that on the evening of July
IS he and Charities met stranger in the
Mug" saloon at the corner of First
and Los Angeles streets. The stranger
represented himself as being painter
and they being three of a kind, they
proceeded to connubiate. With a tongue
loosened by liquor the stranger said he
was going to try and beat his way to
San Francisco, and before he went he
wanted to dispose of some painters
supplies and if they cared to purchase
them they would get bargain. An ap-
pointment was made for that same night
between II and II o'clock underneath the
Buena Vista street bridge, and at that
hour the three men again met. The
stranger had with him a sack containing
the stuff he wanted to sell. He demanded
SIS, but finally was content with $40 and
so far as Brown knew jumped an out
going train at the Buena Vista street
switch. When he handed over the eff
fects Brown asked him about the mis-
cellaneous assortment of goods, that in
no way pertained to painters business
and then learned that they were crook
ed" but "all right
This was the story as told by Brown
on the witness stand.
At half after four the jury retired to
consider the verdict and it was gener-
ally thought that they would be out
about half an hour. Time drew on
apace and no return being made, some
curious speculations were INDUCED in.
Inasmuch as the prosecution had put
forward some evidence tending to show
that Brown and Charities had been seen
at the San Fernando depot late at night
heading for East Los Angeles. and were
again seen at daylight next morning, it
was thought probable that the jury
had disagreed as to whether the crime
-conceding Browns guilt-wfb burg
larry in the first or second degree. Be
that as it may, certain it is that the jury
did not hasten verdict, but at pm.
returned with a verdict of guilty of
burglary in the second degree. Satur-
day was set for sentence.

INSANE COMMITMENTS.
A young Girl With Hereditary faint
Sent to Highlands.

Ida May Terrill, young woman 81
years of age who has been engaged as
house servant in this city, was examined
yesterday before Judge York regarding
her mental condition. Three years ago
she began to suffer from Authorizations
and since then her trouble has become
more persistent and accute. Her mother
suffered from insanity and with this
hereditary predisposition the girls sui
cidal impulse is not to be wondered at.
She was ordered committed to High
lands.
Charles B. Howe, young man only 90
years old, was yesterday ordered COM
mitted to Highlands asylum by Judge
Clark. This young fellow met with an
injury to his head some years ago and
as he has been a hard drinker he de-
veloped dangerous mania last year and
was then sent to the asylum. He was re-
moved from Highlands by his mother
before he had fully recovered, and in
opposition to the wishes of the medical
director. The result has been that the
young fellow, owing to his habits, has
suffered a serious relapse.

A GRACELESS SCAMP.
Carlos Martyr, jr., Will Remain in Sc
clusion for Five Years.

Carlos Martyr, jr., the aristocratic
young adventurer who, upon the
strength of a romantic sounding pat
ronymic and a prepossessing appear
ance, won a wife and swindled Rev.
Burt Estes Howard and other prominent
citizens of considerable sums of money,
is now en- route to San Quentin.
An information was filed against him
in department one yesterday by Deputy
District Attorney Willis, charging him
with having obtained 500 frof Rev. Burt
Estes Howard by falsely representing
that he had inherited $1S0,000 from his
grandfather, recently deceased, so he
claimed, in San Francisco. Mr.. Willis
intimated that he did not wish the court
to understand that the district attor-
neys office desired the minimum punish
ment, for other cases could be brought
against Martyr, and it had been agreed
to file only one of them.
The defendant signified his desire to
waive time and plead guilty to the
charge. AS he stood up he presented an
appearance different to that of most
prisoners appearing before Judge Smith
for sentence. He was perfectly COM
posed, however, and simply said that he
threw himself upon the mercy of the
court.
In answer to the questions of the court
he said that he came to California
about sixteen months ago. and had FOL-
lowed the stereopticon advertising bust
ness in this city. He gave his age AS
"a, and said he came from Chicago where
his father, Rev. Carlos Martyr, resides
at the present time. He further stated
that he had been reared in New YORK
city. and had been an electrician in the
employ of the Chicago and Northwestern
railroad.
In passing sentence Judge Smith told
the defendant that his evident intelli-
gence and education made it altogether
unnecessary for him to say anything to
him about the enormity of his offense.
He then sentenced him to five years
ironrisonnent at San Oueutin

THE DIVORCE MILL
The Billmeyer Case Now Approaching
Conclusion

The further hearing in the Billmeyer
case was continued behind closed doors
in department two yesterday before
Judge Clark.
The evidence put In on behalf of the
plaintiff went to show that the anguish
of mind suffered by Mr.. Billmeyer was
largely mythical. 1t was shown that
he first met his wife in saloon, accom-
panied her to saloons both before and
after his marriage to her, and intro
duced her to friends of his amid such
free and easy surroundings. This being
so, it was concluded that it was not
possible for him to suffer that anguish
of mind" alleged in so many complaints
of divorce. Other evidence, too, was
put forward tending to show that at the
time when it was alleged the plaintiff
had committed adultery she was phys
ically incapacitated.
Carrie j. Raacke yesterday filed her
complaint in divorce against Otto A.
Raacke, on the ground of desertion.
Florence NJ. Barker also field her COM
