Charlie Compton on Trial
for Forgery
TWENTY YEARS FOR BASSETT
CASE AGAINST r. A. BIRD TO BE
RESET
A Castle Attached-A Wife's Interest
in Community Property-The
Craig Murder Case

Another, and the most important,
phase Of the Greene forgery case de-
veloped yesterday when "Charlie"
Compton, the erstwhile good-fellow-
about-town and secretary Of the Spill
man Water company, was brought to
trial for being a participant in the for
gerry.
Compton's career has been quite
varied. and his embroglio with the Spill
man household is yet fresh in the public
memory. His present trouble is the re-
suit, II the theory of the prosecution is
correct, of too ingenious mind, for he
Is credited with having conceived and
superintended the carrying out of the
"bunco" scheme by which the Columbia
Savings bank was multced of $1,000.
A. T.. Davis, apparently the least
guilty of those concerned in the scheme
has had one trial, which resulted in a
hung jury. w. NJ. Ware, who, after his
bogus suicide at Long Beach, sought
refuge under the aegis of the state, and
told all he knew about the matter, Will
testify against Compton, as he did
against Davis, and consequently his trial
has been continued until his companions
in the dubious real estate deal are either
convicted or discharged.

ANGELES HERALD. MORNING. NOVEMBER 2s 1897

Judge Smith ordered the jury brought
into court. Upon being asked if they had
agreed upon a verdict the foreman
stated that they had not and further
more the probabilities were exceedingly
slim Of their doing so. They stood six
to six, and had so stood from the time
the first ballot was taken. Other of the
jurors also gave it as their opinion that
an agreement could not be arrived at,
they being hopelessly divided as to mat
ters Of fact. Under these circumstances
Judge Smith ordered the jury dis
charged and the case set on the caIen-
dar to be reset.
The expense Of a trial such as this
Is very great and the court expressed
regret that something definite had not
been arrived at. So far as the defend
ant is concerned he stands just where
he did before the trial began. A good
deal Of bitterness was injected into the
arguments and remark has obtained
some currency that has been credited to
Mr.. Meserve, and which reflected upon
Assistant District Attorney williams.
Counsel, while conceding that he spoke
at the time with some heat, repudiates
having alleged or insinuated anything
detrimental to Mr. Williams character,
and in that regard was misquoted.
