PASADENA, Aug 7-Mr. Louis e.
Worrell, an employe of the firm Of Pat
ten & Davis, was held up and robbed by
footpads near his home on Orange Place
last night at about $3.50 o'clock. Mr..
Worrell was coming home, when two men
stepped out in front of him and struck
him down, after which they kicked him.
Some change and watch were taken
from him, but s. which he had in an
other pocket was overlooked. The as
sault occurred on footpath which cuts
of a short distance between Orange
Place and Fair Oaks avenue. Mr.. Wor-
rell was taken by surprise and could not
see his assailants. so that he could not
identify them. They ran down Fair
Oaks avenue, and the officers are look
ing for them with but little clue to work
upon. Mr.. Worrell was so seriously in
jured as to be unable to work today.
w. r. Bacon of Los Angeles appeared
for the liquor defendants whose case
came up this morning in the recorders
court. A demurrer was entered on the
uncertain ground that the indictments
were not made in language easily to be
understood. The points will be argued
Wednesday morning. after which the
pleas will be in order. Jackson and Da-
Wis & McGinty saw the light outside the
jail this morning for the purpose of
consulting their attorney, Mr. c. b. Ladd.
The latter will endeavor to, and believes
he can, release the colOred man on the
ground of habeas corpus, but he ex-
presses the opinion that the case of Nc
Ginty G. Davis is hopeless.
