THE HOFFMAN TRIAL
"Scotty" Says They Were All on a
Jamboree

The trial of William Hoffman, charged
with being a principal in the robbery
of Tom Latter at the Eureka stables on
Broadway, on the night of August Goth.
was resumed in department one yester-
day. The testimony was not of a par
ticularly interesting or exciting nature.
"Scotty" Steely, a driver in the employ
of the California Truck company, was,
perhaps, an exception, for he gave his
testimony on behalf of the defence with
such good humor and readiness that he
provoked laugh more that once.
"Scotty'-he said he was known often
er by that name than his own-testified,
as did others for the defense, that what
ever trouble there was resulted from a
drunken jamboree. At that time he,
Hoffman and several other young fell
lows We're working at the stables. He
had been out and got back to Broadway
about half past ten at night, and found
seven fellows drinking and carousing.
About ten or twelve cans of beer had
been brought in up to half past eleven.
when the party divided and four of the
party, including witness and Holman,
continued their frolic around town.
Tommy Latter had beautiful load on
and the others were pretty we'll jagged"
said the witness Being asked, on cross
examination by Mr. McComas. if at the
time of Hoffman's arrest he had not told
the officers that, while the party had
been drinking, none of them were drunk,
the witness qualified his answer. "A
man may be drunk" said the Witness
sin different ways. I call a man drunk
when he can't navigate; man that's
pretty full just feels good" According
to these quotations of inebriety witness
conceded that perhaps he did tell the
officers that they were not drunk.
Attorney ]. d. Fredericks made a very
good argument to the jury on behalf of
his client, and Deputy District Attorney
McComas did not occupy much time in
pointing out the weakness of the de-
fense. At twenty minutes past four the
jury retired to consider the verdict AT
$3.50 in the evening, there apparently be-
ing no prospect of an agreement being
reached, they were locked up for the
night.

THE DIVORCE MILL
A Decision Given by Judge Smith'in
the Hansen Case

the hansen Ease
Judge Smith yesterday gave Judgment,
for the defendant in the suit of Mrs. Nj
A. Hansen against Matthew i. Hansen,
and all parties are by the decision nicely
cleaned UP and made tidy. The case
was heard about six weeks ago behind
closed doors. The plaintiff is prOprie-
tress of the Euclid lodging house on
North Main street and she told tale
of extreme cruelty against the husband.
That gentleman did not file any cross
complaint and in that way display any
cagerness to free himself from matri-
monial bonds. but he made a specific
charge of adultery against his wife. The
correspondent is fairly we'll known about
the court house and consequently some
additional interest has been manifest in
the suit by the various court house Of
ficials. The court has found that the
charges of extreme cruelty and failure
to provide have not been shown, the
evidence being insufficient. That clears
the husband. It has also been found
that the charge of adultery preferred
against Mrs. Hansen has not been sus-
tanned by sufficiency of evidence. That
clears the wife, and so the. parties re-
tain their position to one another as
before the legal battle was begun.
Henry Washington was granted a de-
cree by Judge Smith yesterday divorciry
him from Mrs. +. Washington on the
ground of desertion. Both parties arc
colored people, and it appears that the
wife. unlike Caesars, was not beyond
suspicion of wandering from the path
way of rectitude and virtue. Finally she
skipped out and is said to be prancins
down the primrose road of dalliance that
has its ending in the potter's field.

THE ROBBERS LOCATED
BLACK JACKS GANG HIDING IN
THE ZUNI MOUNTAINS
Deputies on the Trail of the Fleeing
Bandits-Tracked to the Lava
Beds-Prospects of Capture

Superintendent A. G. Wells of the
Santa Fe-Pacific railroad received in
formation at his Office late yesterday
afternoon from Sheriff Hubble! that
"Black Jack" and his gang of seven
bandits. who held up and robbed the
east bound passenger train near Grants
station last Saturday night, have been
located in the Zuni mountains, thirty
five miles from the scene of the rob-
berry and that his posse was hot on their
trail. There are ten deputies in the pur-
suing crowd, and it is very probable tho t
the officers will run the desperadoes
to cover soon. The robbers were easily
tracked until the extensive lava beds
were reached, just this side of the
mountains. The country in that vicin-
ity affords excellent hiding places, and
some venture the opinion that they will
never be apprehended.

steam, electric and cable 1t appears as
! il at more or less periodic intervals suits
are filed and come to trial wherein the
plaintiff prays for damages in varying
amounts for the great physical and
bodily pain and mental anguish" suf-
fered, and which is invariably alleged to
be the result of gross negligence on the
part of the company sued or it's servants
or both.
The latest suit of this kind came to
trial yesterday in department three. be-
fore Judge Hughes of San Diego, sit
ting for Judge York, and jury.
e w. Babcock is the plaintiff in the
action, which is brought against the Los
Angeles Traction company. He claims
that on October %, 1896, he was a pas
senger on one of the defendant COM
pany's cars; that the seats were all oc-
cupied and consequently he took his
stand on the forward part of the car
beside the door. Upon turning the curve
at Sixteenth and Bush streets the car
was speeding, according to the state
ment of plaintiffs Introductory state
ment to the jury yesterday, at the rate
of from ten to fifteen miles an hour. and
owing to the high rate of speed and the
negligent construction of the roadbed.
the plaintiff, Babcock, was thrown to the
ground. His knee and shoulder were
badly injured and he was otherwise
bruised and shaken up and his doctors
bill amounted to $3.50. For the physical
and bodily pain and mental anguish en-
dured, with the expenses incurred, he
asks that the court award him damages
to the extent of S5O37. 80.
The plaintiff is being represented by
W. ]. Hunsaker, esq.,. while the defend
ant company's interests are being
guarded by the law firm of Lamme 4
Millikin. The allegations of the plaintiff
are denied by the Traction company and
claimed to have resulted from his own
negligence and carelessness.
While upon the witness stand yester-
day Mr.. Babcock, upon cross-eXamina-
ton, stated that Immediately prior to
the accident he had signaled the con-
ductor of the car to stop. The conductor
nodded and rang the bell, and the plain
tiff made a step forward from where he
stood and reached out to grasp the
standard in order to be ready to ge.
off. Just then the car turned the curve
and he was pitched to the ground. The
plaintiff admitted that he was laden
with three packages, and that fact. ta-
ken in conjunction with the circum-
stance that he prepared to leave the car
at all while it was in motion, may have
a very direct influence on the verdict.

a proper petition should be resented
and the court be able to a m juris-
diction. That didn't suit Mf. Ladd and
he explained that McMullen was being
inhumanly confined in a dungeon by
Chief Glass, and that the statute does
not provide for any such unique mode of
punishment. The attorney argued that
although the original petition had been
lost he had sworn to the copy all right.
Being accorded permission to read the
dubious document 1t appeared that Nc
Mullen was being confined in the penal
cell minus bedding or anything else to
make life comfortable and that his
health was suffering. Furthermore 1t
was alleged that McMullen was being
treated in such manner because he ven-
tured to tell his attorney that another
prisoner, mentioning his name, wanted
to confer with him.
The court ordered that the prisoner
be remanded and treated in the manner
usual with prisoners.

THE FIGUEROA HOTEL
Again in Court on Suit to Quiet
Title

The matter of the Figueroa hotel
property at the corner of Sixteenth and
Figueroa streets again loomed up in
court yesterday. The vicissitudes of
this property are rather curious. The
trouble began some years ago when suit
was begun in which the amount of the
mortgage tax figured, Judge Van Dyke
ruling that failure to pay such tax
deprives the MORTGAGE of the right to
interest. That case was carried TO the
supreme court where the trial court was
affirmed.
For a time the hotel was threatened
with destruction. Three times it was
discovered on fire and upon the last oc-
casion the barn was almost completely
destroyed. The insurance companies,
it was said, Cancelled the policies on the
building for the reason that it appeared
as if some incendiary had determined to
burn the hotel down.
So matters have drifted along until
yesterday when the suit of Burbridge
against Lennert came before Judge
Clark. The suit was one to quiet title
and was submitted on briefs.

T. L. BACON
Sued for Alleged Delinquent Assess
ment on Bank Stock

A complaint was filed in the circuit
court yesterday with Theodore B. WAL
lace. receiver of the Missouri National
bank of Kansas City, plaintiff and T. L..
Bacon of Los Angeles defendant.
The complaint alleges that on Novem-
ber 80, 1895. the National Bank of Mis-
souri, failed; that the plaintiff was ap-
pointer receiver of said bank on the 30th
of July, 1897. 1t is further alleged that
the defendant is stockholder in the
bank in the amount of 100 shares; that
an assessment of 800 share was lev
led upon the stockholders to pay the
banks Indebtedness, July 80, 1897, which
assessments were to be paid, so 1t is
claimed, prior to August 80, 1897.
Since, according to the revised United
States statutes. stockholders are held
individually liable in such cases, the
plaintiff therefore prays for a judgment
against defendant in the sum of SIC, 900,
with interest of per cent from August
30, 1897.

THE HOLLY OUTRAGE
A Reward of $50 Offered for the Cap

Sheriffs posses have continued to
scour the country in search of the negro
miscreant who made the attack upon
Mrs. Holly, but SO far without success.
A colored man was arrested at Glendale
on the supposition that he was the man
and was sent through to Los Angeles.
When he arrived at the county Jail it was
found that he did not answer to the de-
scription of the assailant.
Thomas Rothwell, brother-in-law of
Mrs Holly, who is engaged as bridge
builder by the Southern Pacific COM
pany, has offered a reward of $50 to any
one who will capture or who may give
information that will lead to the capture
of the guilty scoundrel. Yesterday

STREET IMPROVEMENT
More Fire Hydrants. Better Street Ca,
Rails and Other Needs

At the meeting of the board of direct
ors of the Merchants and Manufactur-
ers' association held yesterday noon,
the attention of the board was called
to the fact that many needed improve
ments could be made when the repaving
of Spring and Main streets is undertak-
en-. At the present time these two
streets are provided with only one fire
hydrant at the corner of each block,
and it was conceded that insufficient
fire protection was afforded to mer-
chants who carry millions Of dollars
worth of stock and to owners of the most
valuable property in the city.
The secretary was instructed to bring
this matter to the notice Of the board OF
fire commissioners and request that ad-
equate fire protection be given and that
the blocks on Spring and Main streets
between Temple and Fifth be provided
with six fire hydrants, three on each side
of the street, and from Fifth to Ninth
with four hydrants in each block.
AS it has been stated that the street
car companies intend to lay heavier rails
on Spring street, the secretary was in
structed to request the companies to
inaugurate their improvement at the
time the repaving takes place, and that
all the work can be done at the same
time and the streets be placed in proper
condition for years to come.
1t was also suggested that instead Of
closing up the streets when the repaving
takes place that only one-half of the
street be paved at time, in order to
leave the other half open for traffic.
The exhibition committee presented a
report recommending that the grand
opening of the permanent exhibition be
held on the evening of January 18th, for
the members and their friends; and that
an industrial parade take place on the
afternoon of January 22d. The railroad
companies have agreed to grant excur-
sion rates Of one and one-third fare for
the round trip from all cities in South
ern California to Los Angeles, good from
Saturday to and including the follow
ing Monday. The secretary was in
structed to send notices of the proposed
parade to merchants and manufacturers
and inquire whether or not they will
participate.
