A German Takes an Attempt Oh His Lille
With q Butcher Knife

WitH q DutCner kniie
The vicinity of Fifth and Los Ange-
les streets was in q fever of excitement
just before 6 o'clock last evening, caused
by the insane antics of Geman ex-sa-
loon keeper, Fritz Weischendorff by
name, who was in big hurry to shuttle
off this mortal coil, and wanted all the
neghborhood to know it.
Weischendorff as stated, has been
in the bar business, but lately has had
no work and became desperate and des-
pondent. His wife and he resided in
cottage at Sal Los Angeles street,
where she did dressmaking to help
make ends meet. She is his second. and
he her second, attempt in the matrimo-
NAL line. Lately they have not got
along we'll together and quarrels have
been frequent. Yesterday afternoon

he was going to end his troubles by kill

When an attempt was made to re-
strain his rash hand, he tore loose from
the grasp of his son-n-law, who had
lnterfered. and ran into the street rails
ing great outcry The n-law
followed and finally got the knife away
from him and Fritz into the house.
Meantime a telephone call had been
sent for the police. Officers Reynolds
and Robbins responded but on arrival
at the scene found matters quieted
down, and as the family thought they
could control the insane man, they were
requested not to interfere.
The officers started back to the sta
tion and were nearly there when boy
came dashing up out of breath and
wanted them back again on the double
quick, as Weischendorff had locked
himself in a room and was tearing
around again at a frightful rate, going to
kill himself sure They returned, and
going into the room found Fritz in bed,
undressed. He was told to put on his
clothes and come along. At. first he
seemed disposed to resist. but soon ca

lum investigation is now being CON
Quoted at the court house in this CITY
in the presence OF Judge Roderick
Rose. The great attraction to-day was
the examination of Trustees Johnson
and Montague. Mr.. Johnson testified
that he V knew of any m%isappro-
prlations of money or property at the
asylum. On the evening of Jan. 8 he
was invited by Hon. B. Fuller to go to
his Office. He went, had cigars. two
drinks Of wine, and was offered $50 to
resign. The offer vas increased to
$50. Il told them they might as well
offer me $500, it would have the same
effect. Mr.. Fuller and r. E. Wallace
were present. l was followed to the
hotel by Wallace, who said If l would
come back he would give me $3.50 and
Fuller would give me $3.50. l refused
all offers. Never agreed at any time
to take money for my vote or for my
resignation as trustee. l cannot re-
member telling Gov. Shortridge there
was a consideration for making a
change in the asylum management.
Cannot remember telling the governor
that there was a combination and
other trustees were In the deal. l don't
think l told the governor ex-Auditor
Porter was to take Maj. Lovell's place.
I didn't tell him DR.. Archibald was to
be removed and Dr.. Moore appointed"
Trustee Montague testified that three
Of the trustees met at the Gladstone
hotel on the 10Th and decided. to re-
move DIR. Archibald and elect DR..
Moore; that "tlere were no promises
Of money by any one for our acts"
The action Of the heard in dismlssing
DR.. Archibald was irregular, the by
laws requiring thirty days notice be-
fore dismissal. The repeal of the by
laws was irregular, as notice of repeal
must be given in writing at q regular
meeting.
