LOS ANG ELES, CAL, Oct. 15-Can
money that is loaned to a candidate to be
used in securing his election be recovered
by process of law? That is the question
upon which hinges the suit of j. Marion
Brooks against Congressman G. A. Bnr-
low for money advanced and services rem
dered as guide. philosopher aad friend, in
all amounting to nearly $4,000. On tbs,
the third day of the trial, the case was
closed and the attorneys will submit
briefs on the Legality of recovering money
advanced to be used in a candidates in
terest.
That point is serious one in this liti-
cation, but not the most entertaining, for
the suit has shown up both Brooks and
Barlow in a most ludicrous light, divulged
some political secrets and greatly am used
all who heard or read of the case. Under
cross-examjnation to-day Congressman
Barlow admitted that in one of his letters
to Brooks he had used the expression
'As yet our pastures are limited, but
another day will come" and explained
that by pastures" he meant patronage,
and another day" referred to his hope;
of staying in Congress at least twenty
years
Another sentence written by Statesman
Barlow was: There will be fine business
opportunities during my term, and l shall
be glad when the session opens"
When be had acknowled ged the author
ship of that ingenious staten ent he wa:
asked to explain ii, which he did by say.
ing that as Congressman he expected to
be able to assist in prosecuting the Pedro
Che boy land claim against the Govern
ment. As the land in dispute amounted
to 40 600 acres and he expected to get fee
OF % per cent for his help. he counted on
good thing until he learned, quite Incl.
dentaily it was inferred, that as Congress-
man it would be illegal for him 10 work
the scheme.
To this Judge Shaw of Department Of
the Superior Court, who was hearing the
SUIT. asked:
"DO yOu mean to say you didn't know
it was illegal for mem Der of Congress to
advocate a claim against the United
! States?"
Yes" answered Statesman Barlow.
You had been member of The Legis-
lature of California, had your" asked
George Denis, counsel for plaintiff.
"Yes, sir" said Barlow.
/ The defendant explained that his state
ment that there must be a fortune in the
appointment OF cadet referred only to
the great nunber of applicants for the
place. The numerous letters he had writ
ten 10 his mentor, Brooks, who claims
that he had among other things taught
the am bilious Barlow to refrain from
eternai!y pulling at his own cuffs while
speaking in public. were gone through
sentence by sentence, until it became evi.
dent that the Congressional candidate
should have had private secretary earlier

Her CLOTHING
Mrs. E. J. Van Dusen. a
Professional Beggar, Ar
rested for Insanity.
She Was in Rags and Tatters
and Presented a Shocking
Appearance.
When Searched $4,000 in 500 Gold

Around Her Clothing,

Mrs. E. J. Van Dusen, wealthy pro-
fessional beggar about 20 years OF age, is
now in the Receiving Hospital on a charge
of insanity.
Mrs. Van Dusen and her aged husband
live at 900 Moulton avenue, but recently
her hus band was taken to the City and
County Hospital, where he is being treated
for blood poisoning.
There was due the owner of the house,
J. Strong, 1902 so for rent, and failing to
get payment Strong sued them in the
courts for the amount and obtained ludg-
ment against them.
Attorney William Tomsky represented
the landlord, and as it was believed that
the o!d woman had money concealed
about her clothing Tomsky swore to a
complaint yesterday charging her with in.
sanity.
When taken to the hospital she pre-
sented a shocking appearance. Her cloth
ing was in rags and ner face and hands
were covered with filth.
When the maIroE attempted to search
The San Francisco call., 1897-10-16

her she resisted with all her strength and
whined that she was being robbed. The
search went on and the suspicious of
Attorney Tomsky were soon confirmed.
Sewed up in her underclothing were a
number OF small canvas bags and each
contained number of $50 gold pieces
When the' total amount was counted up
she had $4,000 sewed up in her clothing
This she had been carrying around with
her while begging on the streets.
The money was carefully locked up in
the safe at the hospital until it is seen
what the Insanity Commissioners will do
with Mrs. Van Dusen.
The old woman does not appear to be
Insane and bitterly resents being locked
up IN padded cell ana having her money
taken from her. 1t is supposed that At
torney Tomskg will attach the money this
morning to satisfy the Judgment OBJ lained
against her.

covered the fellow with it and compelled
him TO hold up his hands.
The men were then hustled onto a train
and brought to SauSalito, where they were
thrown into Jail. Warrants will be sworn
out by Constable Maber before Justice of
the Peace ]. S. Bellrude in the morning,
charging the men with highway robbery.
D.str.ct Attorney MartinelIi said that
an example would be made in these cases.
and every effort to sepd the robbers TO the
penitentiary would be made.
Things have come to pretty pass" +"
said he, when men and women driving
along one of the comfy roads in popu-
lous district are stood up and made to
give up their money"
The evidence against the men is exec D..
tIonally strong, and the people who were
robbed state that they can positively
identity them. The people in the vicinity
OF Corte MADEIRA are breathing easier to-
night, knowing the desperadoes are be-
hind the bars of the Sausallto Jail.
