The Record Damage Suit

Judge York yesterday handed down an
interesting opinion in the case of M. T..
Westerfeld VS.. E. w. Scripps ct AL, own
ers OF the Evening Record, on the mo-
tion for new trial.
The trial was before a jury and re-
suited in verdict Of $1,000 for the plain
tiff
The motion for new trial was based
upon insufficiency of evidence and err
rors In law. 1.-THE one specification of
error" says Judge York, in the opinion
hled, which l have deemed the most
important of all the specifications, if not
relating to the only error, is based upon
the admission of an article in the Los
angeles Record in it's issue of October
IL. '1S95-fourteen days days after
the alleged libelous publication
Ihe alleged libelous publication
was held by the court during
the trial to be libelous per se and have
no doubt the court correctly so held.
WHEN this article was offered in evil
oonce the objection was made by coun-
sel for the defendants that the evidence
was irrelevant and immaterial The
court inquired the object of the offer.
One of the attorneys for the plaintiff
then stated: The object is for the EN-
hancement Of damages. Subsequent
puoiications iterated by the same party
substantially the same in subject matter
or the assertion practically of the former

pose OF showing malice on the part of

Poor Little 1ald

There was great excitement in JUS
tice Rossiter's court room at Pasadena
yesterday. Certain Chinamen were en-
deavoring by legal process to recover
little Ynet Vow, Chinese maiden Of
uncertain years, from the Presbyteri-
ans home in San Francisco and con-
sign her once again to a life of shame.
Wong Chong, one of the elite of Pas
adena's hundred. and one also who is
reported to have a monetary interest
in Yuet Vow, swore out warrant charg-
ing the girl with having stolen from
him the sum Of $500. The warrant was
served in San Francisco, and the girl
brought south to stand trial.
A large number of citizens were pres
ent in the court room, many being prom
inent church people.
The complaining witness came to grief
at the outset. He himself testified that
the girl borrowed the money from him
and accordingly he stood confessed as
one of those-not all Of them Cinnamon.

That Bad Indian

Francisco Guavish, the Indian from
the Pichango reservation, was before
Judge Smith yesterday for sentence.
The defendant had already pleaded
guilty to stealing COW from E. c. Man
ming, and upon two informations being
filed by the district attorney he pleaded
guilty to them also. These latter ones
charged him with stealing black mare
from Manuel Olivera and a bay mare
from Andres Machado. He seemed un-
concerned as he entered his plea, and his
previous remark that he would consider
himself lucky to get off with twenty
years in the penitentiary indicated the
disposition of the man.
Judge Smith sentenced Guavish to ten
years at Folsom on one charge and FIVE
years on each of the others, making

The youth Halle Comstock. who was
charged with having stolen a horse be-
longing to Henry Mundell at East Los

township court yesterday.
The prosecution sought to show that
the boy had criminal knowledge re-
garding the whereabouts of the old plug,
which was valued at s12, because he
stated after the horse was missed that
If he were given couple of dollars he
would recover Mundell's property. When

claimed upon producing the horse the
defendant weakened and said something
to the effect that his mother wouldn't
let him mix UP in the affair. His arrest
followed.
Yesterday the evidence was wholly
insufficient to secure a conviction and the
boy was ordered discharged.

Fred Cxarski in q saloon on Third street

on the capital charge.
When court adjourned in the afternoon
ten jurors only had been obtained. The
defense exercised its prerogative and
challenged many Jurors for cause and
also peremptorily.
The line Of defense was clearly out
lined by defending COUNCIL during the
examination of the Jurors. Those gen.
tlemen who showed a combative ten
dency. and stated that they would use
ANY weapon to defend themselves IL

cused-at least. by the defense.

short story of her marital difficulties
to Judge Van Dyke yesterday. and was
granted a divorce from her husband,

band left for San Francisco, and re-
fused to live with her again. Upon her
announcing her wish to name 1t after
him. he wrote to protest against 1t. For
two years the husband has been away,
and so by lapse Of time the wife was
entitled to her decree. But 1t was queer.

Gertrude W. Rott is the name of the
little woman who was arrested and
charged with insanity while making
application for relief at the Associated
Charities on Monday. Yesterday she
was brought up before Judge Van Dyke
for examination, when a curious state
of things developed.
Mr.. Rott, the husband of the woman.
is a squat little Dutchman, who, when
he heard of his wife's arrest came up
from Pomona. He testified that his wife
was, in his opinion crazy as could be and
a menace to his modest household
On the other hand, the accused woman
talked in most rational manner and
gave a good account of herself. She
confessed that she had twice been sent
to Highland when she had been wrought
up to "a high pitch of excitement by a

belief in Spiritualism. She thought she
heard voices talking to her, but her
stay at the asylum had cured her Of all
that nonsense.

about this trouble. bear upon my arms
and back right now marks of his abuse"
At the request Of Drs. MacGowan and
Wills, Mrs. Rott retired to the ante
room, when she gave ocular proof of the
truth of her statements, and thereupon
the examiners refused to certify to any
mental trouble, the court ordering her
discharge.
