Wants Anderson Arrested

Yesterday afternoon ]. F. Carrere ap-
peared a: the district attorneys Office
and swore to a complaint against Geo.
Anderson, charging him with having
obtained money under false pretenses.
Carrere alleges that he has been i'm
posed upon by Anderson, whom he en-
ployed to circulate the double harbor
petitions, and that Anderson represent
ed to him that all the names were bona
fide and the signatures genuine. Car
rere further alleges that, believing the
representations of Anderson, he paid
him $40 for his services. and it is this
money that he claims was fraudu-
lently obtained.
Anderson, Carrere told the district
attorney, was formerly an inmate of the
Whittier reform school, and was out on
parole when h ehired him. Anderson was
formerly in the employ Of one of the
newspapers as an apprentice but was
discharged for some cause. Altogether
he gave his whilom agent anything but
a good character, but whether he knew
this before his employment or discov-
cred it afterward he did not state.

TWO FELONY EXAMINATIONS
Bert Fancher and Scsr-Faced Kid Are Held
to Await Trial

10 await
Before Justice Morrison yesterday
morning the examination of Ernest
Lynwood, alias "Scar-Faced Kid, was
held on a charge of robbery. Kid was
accused of throttling and rohbing an
elderly man named Hawkins in the
toilet room of q saloon few mornings
since, and taking from his person $3.50
in money and a razor. The evidence
was conclusive and Lynwood was
promptly held for trial to the superior
court, bonds being fixed Ut $4,000.
The second felony examination of the
day was that of Bert Fancher, accused
of burglariously entering the drug store
OF Brown Bros. at 1912 Washington
street week ago last Thursday. Dur
ing the night Fiesta parade the store
wa. entered and the cash register taken
into the back yard and riffed OF some
thing like 81. The principal evidence
against Fancher was furnished by two
telltale footprints in the wet soil Of the
hack yard. where the burglar had left
the imprints of his shoes plainly in the
mud, both in going into and out of the
store.
Fanchers shoes fitted perfectly into
the tracks, and he was seen during the
evening hanging around the store. Ev-
idence was also introduced showing
that early in the evening he had but
&c cents in his pocket. and between 1
and > o'clock on Friday morning he
called upon & woman of the town and
gave her S1.50 as a result of his visit.
She was Nettie Russell and said that
Fancher had fully 81 or SS more in his
possession when he paid her the sum
stated.
Detectives Hawley and Auble re-
counted the conversation had with
Fancher after his arrest and enumer-
ated several contradictory statements
he had made to them The tell-tale
shoes were placed in evidence and the
story told of the fitting of them to the
imprints left in the mud by the bur-
glars feet. a motion was made by the
defendants attorney to dismiss the case
for lack of evidence Immediately upon
the conclusion of the prosecutions case,
which was denied.
Fancher declined to put in any tes-
timony in rebuttal and Justice Morrison
held him for trial to the superior court
bond being set at $500. The pris-
oner's mother. wife and baby were in
court during the entire proceedings and
displayed much emotion at the Justices
verdict. Fancher was removed to the
county Jail where he will await trial.

Judgment for Plaintiff

Tn the eases of Bellringer, Stanton &
Tuttle, vs. E. P. Carnicle, suits to re-
cover under mechanics liens, Judge
Shaw yesterday gave Judgment for the
plaintiff, although in the case Of Stan
ton, the action was not filed in time to
come within the provisions OF the me-
chanics' lien law. The dull menotony of
such trials was relieved to a certain ex-
tent by the testimony OF the defendant,
who is an architect by profession. Car
nicle, with refreshing candor swore
that in one Of the cases, that Of Bell
ringer, he did not owe anything for the
reason that it was understood between
them that in consideration Of his throw
ing the nillwork in q certain large build
ing which was being erected under his
supervision to his firm, the plaintiff
would do the millwork for his own house
free of cost. The plea did not go, how
ever, and judgment was entered accord
ingly. although the testimony threw
considerable light on the methods of
certain architects

Much Ado About Nothing

Mrs. Holcomb, lady residing on
Stockton street was yesterday called
into court to answer petty larceny
charge. preferred by Mrs. B. E. Renne
a neighbor who resides at No. s, the
same street. 1t is alleged by Mrs
Renne that Mrs. Holcomb, contrary to
her wishes and commands, carried Off
an armful of scraps of kindling which
had been left by carpenters who had
constructed flight of steps.
Not only this, but she had her little boy
also pack away an armful, which ag-
gravated Mrs. Renne beyond endur-
ance. At the time she threatened Mrs.
Holcomb with arrest, and later fulfilled
the threat. The whole matter is but the
outcome of neighborhood quarrel, and
will probably be allowed to proceed no
further, as District Attorney James will
refuse to prosecute the case.

General Court Notes

Little Annie Roger showed up in de-
partment two of the superior court yes
terday morning with her foster parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hendricks. The chlld
was bright and smiling and gave put
little evidence of the rather exciting ex-
periences through which she had passed
during the previous twenty-four hours.
AS Judge Clark was not ready to pro-
ceed with the habeas corpus proceed
ings, some new complications having
arisen, his honor made an order tenn
porarily committing her to the custody
Of the sheriff, and continued the hear
ing.
Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks with their
attorney, Walter Haas, had lost no time
in taking all legal measures to recover
the child, and nothing had been omitted
AS soon as possible after the forcible
abduction had taken place, writ of
habeas corpus was sworn out and an
officer sent to head off Mrs. Cusack,
in case she attempted to take the north
bound train, but this was Unnecessary.
as Mrs. Cusack at once proceeded TO
San Pedro. where it was her intention
to take the steamer fer San Francisco.
During the afternoon Annie managed
te give her mother the slip and enlist
ing the services Of young Fred B1Iter,
the son of the proprietor OF the hetel,
to whom she told her story that young
man volunteered to drive her up to Los
Angeles which he did last night, ar
irving at the Hendricks residence about
Q o'clock, the fact that the child had es-
capped from her mother being ANNOUNCED
in The Herald yesterday morning. Mr..
Haas was at once summoned and a COM
plant in the name Of the board of su-
pervisors by relation of George A. Hen
bricks. against Mrs. Cusack was drawn
up under the provisions OF the statutes
regulating the parental control of chill
dren, setting forth the disgraceful scene
that occurred in the court house Thurs
day and praying that the child be re-
moved from the custody of the mother
and given to Hendricks. The complaint
was duly attested and signed and moth
ing more could be done until yesterday
morning, when all the parties appeared
in court.
AS neither the mother of the child nor
her attorney appeared in court, it is
believed that Mrs. Cusack has yielded
to the inevitable and will make no fur
ther effort to secure the child.

to get judgment. which is valueless.
Before the sentence was imposed James

Against the Bank

In the case of the Los Angeles Ma

nurrer to the complaint. The suit is
an action brought by the bank to de-
ternine who is entitled to receive the
money on a certain certified check
drawn against the institution for $1,000
by Frank Mohr. Mohr & Smith were
contractors doing work at Santa Mon
lea. and the certified check was de-
posted with the city treasurer of Santa
Monica as security for the performance
OF certain contract Before the COM
pletion Of the contract the firm went
into insolvency. and the work not be-
ing done the money was declared for
feited to the city. j. E. White, the as
signee, claimed the check as part Of the
assets Of the firm. Judge Van Dyke de-
cided that it was the banks duty to pay
a certified check to the person holding it,
as it had guaranteed the paper, and
