THE LORDON MURDER
Roney Crane, the Calabasas Rowdy,
Now Arrested

Frank Valdez, the 17-year-old boy
who shot Mike Lordon at Calabasas a
few days ago, and tried to implcate
Justice Richardson by claiming that
the latter had offered him $100 if he
would make away with Lordon, has re-
tracted his statement.
But he has made sSother, and this one
tangles the matter of the shooting al
most as badly as did the confession made
to Assistant District Attorney Williams
He now claims that he met Rooney
Crane, who is somewhat of a desperado
on the grade at Calabasas. and they
went and had several drinks together
Crane then told him that he had seen
Lordon with a small sack full of money
and proposed they go and do the old
man up and "divvy" on the proceeds.
Crane said further that he needed some
money badly in order to carry on liti-
cation over some land.
Valdez says he was tempted by the
golden bait held out to him to agree
to the proposal. Rony Crane and the
boy then agreed to meet the same even
ing at o'clock, and they did so. They
tied their horses up, and Crane then
gave him 81 to go into Lordon's place
and buy some oysters and crackers. The
understanding was that when Lordon
turned around to get the articles Crane
was to fire at him through the window
AS has been heretofore stated, however
when Valdez went in to make his os-
tensible purchase Lordon put the 81
into the drawer, claiming that that sum
could go against the score run up by
him. One word led to another, and Val
dez still maintains that Lordon snatched
up a pick to attack him with, and he
drew his gun and fired in self-defense.
There are elements of probability
about this story, and yesterday morning
Under Sheriff Clement and Deputy Mar
tin Aguirre went down to Calabasas
and placed Rony Crane under arrest on
the charge of being concerned in Lor-
don's murder. He was found at his

was great fake, but then 1t gave the
public a chance to see Jeffries, with
living picture of great event, and they
were satisfied.
The "event of the evening" followed,
a ten-round contest between Kid
O'Brien weight 12S pounds. and Jack
Burkhardt, weight 129 pounds. The men
are very evenly matched on all points,
and gave a good exhibition. 1t was
lively fight from start to finish, but alb
soutely devoid of any special feature.
the most exciting incident being in the
fourth round, when Burkhardt slipped
and fell. The referee declared the match
a draw, and the evenings entertain
ment closed without a drop of blood
being shed, or even slight bruise be-
ing inflicted on any of those who fur

leave me alone, as I was busy. Snowden
then went over and spoke to Knight,
and then went out. In a few minutes
he returned with another man and re-
peated his request not to say anything
about Morrison. Again / made him no
reply, further than 1 did not wish to be
bothered. Snowden then asked to see
the report and 1 handed him all the sheets
1 had except the one was copying. The
pages were not numbered. After look
ing them over he handed them back to
me, saying, That's all right! and left
the room. When 1 had finished the re-
port was little surprised to have dis
covered nothing about Morrison, as had
heard that he had been scored. l sup
posed, however, that it was in the portion
OF the report Mr.. Knight had copied,
and as I was to have his copy, exchag-
ing mine in return, l thought nothing
more about the matter at the time. l
returned the report to Clerk Logan.
John Knight. who was engaged in
copying the grand jury report simulta-
neously with Kidd, being asked about his
share in the transaction corroborated
his co-worker in the statements made.
'I went into Judge Smiths depart
ment." said he" and found Kidd engaged
in making a copy of the grand jury's
report. I asked to be allowed to chip in
and work on the document at the same
time. and Kidd thereupon unfastened
the binding and handed me portion of
the report, remarking that he had very
little time to prepare his copy and re-
uuested the use of mine. The portion of
the report copied concerned the Whit
tier Reform school, and there was, of
couse, nothing in it about Justice Morri-
son. While copying the report Mr.. Snow
den of the Record came up and requested
me to leave out the section of the report
regarding Justice Morrison, as he was
a good fellow and a friend of the press.
/ did not say whether 1 would or not.
When I had finished my portion of the
report I handed it back to Mr.. Kidd"
A little later Mr.. Coleman of the
Times got hold of the report, but was
in similar fix with his fellow scribes;
he failed to find in the report any allu-
sion to Justice Morrison.
These several statements speak for
themselves, and no better commentary
is needed than the published reports of
the document that was mutilated. The
Record had a brief reference in its grand
jury synopsis to Justice Morrison. 1t
said "he had been highly commended
The Express that evening, the Times and
Herald the following morning were dumb
so far as Justice Morrson's name was
concerned, and the Pasadena justice,
and, as will readily be understood, with
reason.
Now with the replacing of the stolen
sheet it appears that Justice Morrison
was not commended by the grand jury,

And so the case stands al present but.

fused to talk saying not dozen words
while on his way to the city, where
upon arrival he was placed in the coun-

tation. He was for a time constable
at Lancaster, and at that time was shot
at through window, and his life was
saved in rather odd fashion. He was
holding in his hands a law book, and
most of the shot lodged in the leather
covers of the volume, but enough buck
shot lodged in his body to make him
feel very uncomfortable. Since then he
has been concerned in several esca-
pades, and, indeed, he was credited with
being concerned with kid" Thompson

Yesterday a license was applied for
to permit Mrs. Ella KiSy Gyorgji to
marry Joseph Schmidt. The lady in
this case obtained her divorce only a
week or two ago. although her husband
had returned to Hungary, his native
country, some years ago and never
troubled to communicate with his wife
again. The couple were reminded that
the boundary line separating California
from Arizona is not very far off, and
in the territory the matrimonial knot
could be tied fast enough. The would
be bridegroom did not take kindly to
the idea, however, for he said S1e wasn't
going to leave his property to look out
for itself. Anyway, the license was re-
fused

CANADIAN GREED.

The Canadian minister of the in terior, in his speech before the Van couver board of trade, set forth a line of policy to be pursued by the dominion government in lhe Yukon country, which, if carried out, can not fail Ito produce friction and an- tagonism.
 Our mouths are closed, of course, to protest against the strict enforce ment of the customs laws, the collec- tion of duties upon the possessions of American miners entering British qlarritory. The United States has set an example in this matter which it will have to stand by But the col lection of large royalty upon the product of the mining claims is an inn position against which American min CTS will surely revolt. Such a tax has no basis except greed. The min sFs who go into the inhospitabie re- gions of the British northwest terri tory, develop its resources, give it trade and population. are conferring a far greatsr advantage than they re- ceive in the public service, of the gov eunmenl5 of that country.
 If the policy announced by Minister Sifton is established, it will undoubt- edly cause the immigration of miners 'tO be directed ito the American sida of the line; and in this respect it will tend l;o the advantage of the Unified States. Undoubtedly there are as rich deposits on our territory as any that have been discovered on the Camad- ian side, and the inhospitable greed of i-he dominion authorities will in the end benefit Americans.

MORE PICAYUNE WORK.

If The Republicans stric, ,ures on the chamber of commerce were not the result of it's demands on that body to give it work without allowing ccm- petition, which was refused by that body, they might be listened to by the public with some degre2, of ere dulity. It is the community the chamber of commerce has in view in its business transactions a d not the dividual-Herald.
 The above statement is a silly lie concocted by members of the chamber of commerce who are re sponsible for the decline of the cham Der. Months ago, when the secretary of the chamber was trying to get up competition amng the local job printers, to the end that the chamber might get some pamphlets printed be- low cost, The Republican told him that if the chamber of commerce in- tended to look to the newspapers for support it should limit the bids t0 the newspaper establishments. The chamber accepted The Republican s view. The Republicans bid was high, and the work went to the Her aid, the lowest bidder. The Republi- can had no further interest in the matter. It had induced the chamber to 'f;Iote fair" for once with the news papers. Long before this incident this paper had criticised the chamber Odf comm arca frr ftc fai111rp to do Qffoct- i've work for Phoenix. The charga which the Herald has been induced to make is a fair sample of the picayune methods that mark the management of the chamber of commerce. It is high time to make a change.
