SOME CROOKED BOOKKEEPING
John Vasolo Made Another Attempt
to Win Freedom on Habeas Cor
pus-Loses His Wife

There has been so much said about the
neculations Of w. r. Blackman, late sec
retary and treasurer Of the Los Ange-
les Electric company, that it was fore
gone conclusion that he would upon pre-
liminary examination be held to answer
the charge of embezzlement in the sune-
rior court.
And this is just what happened yes
terday when Blackman was brought UP
in the township court for preliminary
examination. There was quite an array
of legal talent engaged in the case, but
these gentlemen were on guard Those
associated with Deputy District Attor-
ney Willis as special counsel for the
prosecution were not inclined to need
lessly uncover the batteries, and counsel
for the defense were not present to give
any pointers to the prosecution as tc
what defense would be put forward
later. The law firm Of Cheney & Taylor
are the regular attorneys for the Los
Angeles Electric company. and so nat
urally were in place in aiding the prose
cution, and T. e. Gibbon, in rep
resenting the Trust and Surety COM
pany, that went on Blackman's bond
also fell naturally into place. Ben Good
rich and Frank Finlayson, ap-
peared to watch the interests of the
defendant.
The testimony put in was severely
technical, and had to do with the intri-
cacies of bookkeeping 1t appeared thai
the defendant was by no means an ex-
pert in crooked bookkeeping, and what
with multiplicity Of perceptible eTas-
ures, wrong footings and contradictions
OF similar kind, it is matter of some
surprise that discovery did not come
sooner than 1t did.
w. B. Cline, president Of the Los An
geles Electric company, was the first
witness put forward by the prosecution
He testified to having occupied the same
official position for seven years, during
which period Blackman had been sec
retary and treasurer. The latter had in
that capacity full charge of all accounts
moneys and securities of the company
and all the books were kept either by
him or under his direction and super
vision.

Blackman, who admitted to him that he
had appropriated $2500 of the company's
funds"
That ended the case for the prosecu-
tion, and the defense refused to put in
any evidence.
The court thereupon held that there
existed probable cause that the de-
fendant was guilty as charged, and or
dered that he be held to answer in the
superior court.
Mr.. Goodrich asked for reduction Of
Blackman's bail, urging that $1,000 was
an exorbitant sum, and the law simply
contemplated sum being fixed suf-
ficient to hold the defendant in attend
ance on the court
Mr.. GiGbbon ventured to remark that
while they had put in evidence to sustain
the charge, they had reason to believe
the shortage would not be less than $10,
GOO.
The court thought $4,000 would be rea-
sonable amount and despite the urging
Of the defense that no evidence had been
put in to warrant any such sum being
fixed for bail bond at that amount it
remained.

ANOTHER HANCHETTE STORY
Bob Farrell Again Claims to Have
Met the Missing Man

Among the dispatches received yes
terday from the Associated Press is the
following:
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. M.-H. J. Han
chette, at one time secretary of the Los
Angeles chamber of commerce, who so
mysteriously disappeared four years age
while at Chicago, and was thought to be
dead, is now reported to be alive and well
in that CITY, He was recently seen by Rob-
ert j. Farrell, Los Angeles newspaper
man.
The facts in the-case are that H. ].
Hanchette disappeared six years ago
last May and has never been heard of
since, although at intervals stories of his
discovery have been palmed off on cred
ulous newspaper correspondents. The
authorship Of these various stories has
been in every instance traced to one of
two people, u. S. G. Click, professional
swindler who is under indictment in
half dozen states for a variety of
crimes, and Robert J. Farrell, wan
dering printer Of no great reputation
for veracity Both these men knew
Hanchette when the latter was city edi-
tor of The Herald seven of eight years
ago.
Farrell has sworn dozen times that
he would produce" Hanchette or ar
range for some one else to meet him, but
he has never done so. On one occasion
he minutely described the clothing worn
| by Hanchette when he met him, which
lent color to his story, as Hanchette was
known to have had a suit of that de-
scription, until it became known that
the suit so carefully described had been
left in Los Angeles and was at that
time hanging in closet at the missing
mans home. Among those who are con-
versant with the facts in the case, there
is very little doubt that H. Jay Han
chette was murdered by thugs in Chi
cago and his body made away with.

CALIFORNIA PEARL FISHERIES.

CALIFORNIA PEARL FISHERIES.
The value of the pearls found dur
ing the year 1896 on the gulf of Lower
California amounted TO S350,OO0. Be
sides. there were, however, also ex-
ported 5000 tons of musscl shells. the
value of which was estimated at
further $l,250,00O. The pearl fishing
with appurtenances forms the entire
the capital for this trade i'm the pen
insula. exists exclusively upon this in
dustry. Until a few years ago only
native divers had been employed, and
the greatest depth to which they
could dive was thirty-tive feet. Upon
the Introduction of the modern div
ing apparatus depth of $50 feet was
accomplished, and while formerly the
best divers could not remain longer
than two minutes under water. II
modern diver thinks nothing of stay

feet although at still greater depth
the stay is necessarily shortened on
account of the enormous volume of

mostly a matter of good luck, and
this is the great charm which attracts
the natives. who are almost without
exception born gamblers. 1t is known
that not every oyster contains a pearl,
and Il really valuable one is only now
and then met with. Most of the
pearls which are found in the waters
of Lower California are so-caled
seed pearls of very modest value
The divers do not limit themselves to
the pearl oysters, but whenever they
come across "A rare piece of coral or Il

If you contemplate buying any new
