RIVERSIDE, July 2S.-(Regular Core
spondence.) The preliminary examination
of Mrs. c. s. Long on the charge of having
perjured herself in giving testimony in the
Beggs murder trial took place in Justice
Chambers court today.
District Attorney Gill read the evidence
taken at the Beggs trial in which Mrs.
Long admitted having lied at the coroner $
inquest. Her mitigating plea at that time
was that Deputy Sheriff Dickson by stress,
'luresS intimidations and hypnotic nfiu-
ence compelled her to tell what was not
true.
The district attorney read the evidence
taken at the Beggs trial, to all of which
Attorney Gray for the defense objected,
on the ground that this testimony had been
stricken out in the higher court and hence
was not admissible. Deputy Sheriff Dick
son was sworn, and told of the melting with
Mrs. Long at the preliminary hearing in
Perris. This was in the Southern hotel.
Mrs. Long was introduced to him by Con-
stable Hancock. Owned up to having lied
in the forenoon and said she hadn't told
all she knew about the case, and wanted
to relieve her mind. Dickson told her to go
ahead and tell all she knew about the
affair and do it quickly as court was about
to convene. Denied holding out any pos

DIR. Perry and Hancock were in turn put

testimony, each declaring that no induce

The district attorney then asked that the
prisoner be held to answer with bonds

Attorney Gray asked that the woman
be discharged, as the proceedings against
her were irregular, and since the evidence
had been stricken out in the superior court
