MOST CORRUPT PERJURY
Walter Taylor, the Rape Fiend, Goes
Free

Walter Taylor, who was being held
to answer the charge of assault with
intent to commit rape upon 13-year-old
Clara Murphy, had his case dismissed
Yesterday on motion of the district at
torneya
From evidence which has come up
within the last few months Taylor was
shown as systematic debaucher of
young girls His name has been men
toned as the author of their wrong by
several children who have figured in
court, and it seems a pity that an ex-
ample could not have been made of him.
Deputy District Attorney McComas
yesterday, upon moving for dismissal
of the case against Taylor, stated that
the mother of the girl had stated that
the facts she had sworn to at the pre-
liminary eXaminatio were lies, and she
was not prepared to swear to the same
statement at the trial. AS it was not
thought that a conviction could be OBJ
tanned without her testimony 1t was con-
sidered useless to put the county to the
expense of a trial
Judge Smith, on this representation,
ordered, the case dismissed and the
bondsmen of the defendant exonerated.
On the showing made by the district
attorney there might be little chance
of convcting the man of the Infamous
charge preferred against him, but the
chance of convicting the woman Of per-
iury seems excellent

Court Notes

The sheriff's deputies yesterday ar
rested Frank Dow and Charles Martinez
the former in this city and the latter at
Azusa, for being implicated in the bur-
glarizing of a store at Irvingdale
month or two ago.
The will Of DR.. w. F. Edgar, an old
pioneer Of the Pacific coast, whose be-
quests to local charities, etc., We're given
at length by The Herald last Monday.
was admitted to probate yesterday by
Judge Clark. I. N. Moore, c. E. Gillen
and w. J. Broderick went upon the wit
ness stand and testified as to the ac-
acknowledgement of the will etc.
Charles Harrison was brought UP for
examination before Justice Young yes
terday on the charge of assault with a
deadly weapon upon Joseph Reed. This
is the defendant that was held to answer
the charge by Judge Rossiter at Pasa-
dena, but as the papers in the case We're
not forwarded within the statutory time
a new complaint had to be sworn out
There were few witnesses present yes
terday and the case was continued.
The herald., 1897-09-15

told him that. Witness also denied ever
having borrowed the scale-handled
knife, and never had it in his hand until
he took it from defendants trunk.
A. Stone stated that when defendant
returned from Bakersfield, at Sims
Stones house, he told him he had lost
his ring in the corral, that witness
brother found it and defendant wrapped
twine around it because it was too large
for his finger. This testimony was Or
dered stricken out as in the cross ex-
animation of defendant the proper
foundation for it had not been laid.
Mr.. Williams then said he would put
the defendant back upon the stand. The
court, however, said that he had no
power to order the defendant back upon
the witness stand, any more than he had
before the defendant went on in the first
place in his own defense.
Wilson, the Castaic section boss, was
recalled to contradict the defendants
allegations that he and Pyle sat at the
window of the house, and saw the rob-
bers approaching from the warehouse.
Witness did not contradict fully, how
ever, and gave it as his opinion that
from the window the upper portion of a
persons body most likely could be seen.
On cross-examination witness was
questioned as to the heights and dis
tances at Castaic, his answers conflict
ing with those given by previous wit
ness from actual measurements.
MORE EXPERT WITNESSES
DR.. N. NJ. Moore testified that if chlor-
oform was thrown into tent in such
quantity as to force person to retreat
it must have been thrown in very few
hours before. II don't believe" said
witness, that enough could be thrown
in to have any serious effect upon per-
son and force such a one to retreat save
from a dislike for the odor."
Witness said also that II the drug
should be thrown on Friday morning the
odor would have disappeared by Sunday
morning. The odor would find vent iE
twenty-four hours. If a room was air.
tight it might be longer.
DR.. Bryant testified that under che
circumstances. as propounded to the
previous witness, he thought person
would withdraw rather quickly. He
stated, however, that the volatile ma
ture Of chloroform is such that he did
not think that the odor would remain
from Friday morning to Sunday morn
ing.
That closed the rebuttal testimony
and the case.
Judge Smith stated he did not wish
to limit counsel in their arguments, but
he gave them two days, within which
time he insisted that counsel must con-
clude This morning Assistant District
Attorney Williams will open for the
prose ecution, and as he expectsto occupy
six or seven hours in the presentation
of his case, he will scarcely get through
today within the ordinary hours of the
court Probably a night session will be
held. Attorneys Rush and Davis for the
defense will not take more than about
six hours between them, and then Mr..
Williams will have another crack at the
defendant in closing.

A CANCELLED NOTE
Judge Shaw Holds the Payee Must
Act Fairly

In the suit Of ]. M. Bruyer against A.
E. Temple, to obtain cancellation of a
note for $3.50. and the releaseof a cha ttel
mortgage given to secure payment, was
passed upon by Judge Shaw yesterday
in an opinion handed down upon de-
murrer.
The sum Of s457. so was deposited in
the Los Angeles National bank
for satisfaction Of the note on
June 4, 1897. but the. amount
was SIS less than the amount Of princi-
pal and interest due, and the tender was
therefore insufficient. 1t was alleged
that on June 1st the plaintiff saw the de-
fendant and told her that the money
necessary to pay the note was in the
office of Mr.. Shields; that the defendant
refused to go to the office to get the
money, but agreed that II he would bring
the money to Santa Monica on the I'd
she would be at home to receive it, and
would then cancel the note and mort
gage. The plaintiff did call, but the de-
fendant was in hiding or absent and

DAMAGES GROWN OLD
Suits Against the Southern California
Railway Under Amusement

The old-time suits of James against
the Southern California Railway COM
pany to recover $4,000 as damages, and
Of Woodwork against the same COM
pany to recover $67, 900 came up before
Judge Allen yesterday on defendants
motion to strike out and also on defend
ants demurrer to the complaint
These suits are identical in their ma
ture with the one that occupied the at
tention of Judge Van Dyke and jury
some little time before vacation. The
lands are in the vicinity Of Fruitland,
and at the time Of the flood, when the
Los Angeles river broke through the
levee, the plaintiffs suffered much dam
age Inasmuch as the railroad company
had built the levee and negligently, as
it is claimed, neglected to do those things
that it ought to have done, and did
those things it ought not to have done,
these actions to recover were brought.
The pith of the objections raised by
counsel for the railroad corporation is
that the suits are barred by lapse of
time, and that the statute of limitations
applies.
Both motion and demurrer were taken
under adVisement.

further fact that there is a restorative most

of a broken-down system. Yes, thanks to
its unexampled tonic virtues, Hostetter's s

THE TIMES LIBEL
The Old Grind, Gone Over Again in
the Brady Case

Owing to the continued illness of Sen
ator Stephen M. White, there was a
probability of the case of Mrs. Mary
Brady against the Times Mirror COM
pany being again continued When the
case was called in department three
yesterday morning, however, counsel for
the defense was insistent that the case
proceed, and Judge York continued the
further hearing merely to o'clock in the
afternoon. At that hour the trial of the
case proceeded without Senator White
being present.
In very large measure the old routine
Of testimony. as presented on the three
previous trials, was gone over, the fol-
lowing witnesses going upon the stand
or having their dispositions read: Fred
N. Hamilton, P. M. Rainbow, Zella Great
house, Mrs. Mary Brady and Mrs. Jud-
son.

could not be found, and on the 4tb the

could not be found, and on the 4th the
money stated was deposited in the bank.
The defendant contended. that the
facts did not show an excuse for the
failure to make a personal tender on
June I'd, but the court holds that the
authorities are against her. When the
payee designedly absents himself from
home for hefraudulent purpose of avoid
ing the payers tender, says the court,
the payee cannot. set up. that. no tender
was made, if in fact the payor had the
money ready to be rendered at the time
and place required. The plaintiff was
ready at the time and place agreed upon
with the money, for the purpose of max
ing the payment The defendant, by
absenting herself from the house, could
net evade the contract which she had
made, nor prevent the readiness of the
plaintiff to make the payment from op-
Grating as sufficient tender.
In these premises Judge Shaw has
overruled the demurrer.
