A Gang Of Azusa Robbers Is to Be

holding up and robbing a Chinaman at
Azusa, and have been passing a brief
season in the county Jail, were taken to
Azusa, who have been passing brief

Quoted by Assistant District Attorney
w. T. Williams and before the case had
proceeded far it was made quite inter-
esting in a manner unexpected by the
defendants.
A Mexican put on the stand as W.T.
ness for the state made confession i'm
plicating himself along with HensNaw
and Graham, in a series of robberiess in
and about Azusa. The Mexican claimed i
that the defendants robbed not only the
Chinaman who figured as the complain
ing witness in this case, but other vic
Tins, Celestial and American. His tes-
timony was of the most sensational char
acter, but did not go far, for the reason
that he could talk but little English and
no good interpreter was at hand.
Henshaw and Graham were both held
over for trial in the superior court.

held yesterday in response to an urgent
summons and the above is the only fact
that as yet has come to light.
President w. B. Cline was interviewed
through the telephone at late hour last
night, but the information that he would
vouchsafe was meager.
Mr.. Cline was asked if the report was
true that some grave defalcations had
been revealed in the accounts of the
company.
Mr.. Cline replied: IT have nothing to
say in reference to anything wrong
with the books of the company"
"Is Mr.. Blackman still secretary and
treasurer of the company" asked the
reporter.
mo, he is not" answered Mr.. Cline
and this was all that the president of
the company cared to say.
Mr.. Blackman was sought by Herald
reporter after midnight at his residence
1858 Lovelace avenue, but was not at
home. Mrs. Blackman would not say
where her husband was, but referred
the reporter to third person, who
however, was also unable to disclose his
whereabouts Mrs. Blackman said her
husband was still in the city.
