CAPTAIN TALKS.

Where Suggestion Of Recent Crimes

sour next sensation will be "a hold mp

of the police captains at the city hall
headq quarters this morning. This pro-
phecy was made in the course of conver-
sstion relative to the crimes that have
been com mitted In this city lately.
'There is q good deal OF the monkey In
u.s." the captain said, sand 1t is human
nature to initiate. This rule applies to
criminal conduct as well as to the style
of hat or shoes.
"Let unique crime be committed IN
New York and have it described In detail
by the metropolitan papers and there are
ant to be limitations OF it all over the
country.

incendiary fire on West Exchange street.
The arrangements to destroy the property
were ella borately and carefully made. Well,
that plan wasn,t ori iginal with the local
firebug by any means. Some time before
that there was an incendiary plot in New
York. 1t was exposed in the newspapers
and one of the sensational journals OF
that town printed diagnosis diagrams
showing the location of the com bustible
in the diffsrent ports OF the building, end
the methods by which they were to be

operated ON West Exchange street un-
doubtedly saw that chart or disgram
and studied IL as carefully as the contrsc-
tor studies the plans of the architect.

DAVIS AND WEIR
That Forged Deed Which Led to
Weird Results

A. E. Davis was brought for examina-
tlon yesterday in the township court on
the charge of forgery.
This is the defendant who, in conjunc-
tion with w. M. Weir, forged certain
deed and then obtained $1,000 on mort
gage with the fraudulently acquired lot
as security. Weir. when the Nemesis
of the law got after him, attempted to
bunco the public by pretending suicide
at Long Beach, but made no greater
success at that than when he forged the
deed.
Davis has been engaged in running
a lunch room and delcacy store on Hill
street, and Weir, after many vicissi-
tudes, settled down as real estate man
at Tenth and Grand avenue. The story
of the fraudulent real estate deal is told
in the confession Davis made to the
Abstract company and which yesterday
was put in evidence. 1t reads as follows:
ION or about the 14th day Of May
1897. w. M. Weir, residing at 3l9 West
Eighth street, in the city of Los Angeles,
came to my store at 454 South Hill strees
and asked me if 1 would help him with
a real estate deal. He told me that he
had lot on the corner of Oak and Wash
ington streets, owned by a man by the
name of Greene, and that he wanted to
get the lot and then raise some money
ION it. At that time told him that 1 had
business of my own to attend to, and
that wanted nothing to do with it, The
subject was not discussed further a t tha t
time. Two or three days later Weir
again called at my store and again asked
me to help him through with his deal.
Ja cot hot +; +o,, t., 90 1,
the lot conveyed to me and he then
wanted me to procure loan on the prop
erty for him, and he would pay me we'll
for my trouble. He told me that there
would be no trouble about the matter:
