A WIFE'S JEWELS
Strengthening Out PreIiminarles In the He'll.
bron Divorce Case


VIM. c. Heilhron is in trouble over the
disruption of his home. He is one of
the proprietors of a billiard parlor on
Second street, near Broadway, and
when divorce proceedings were instituted
by his wife month ago, on the grounds
of Willful neglect and extreme cruelty he
agreed to allow her $50 per month pend
ing a decision of the case. He spoke
fairly and stated then that he was will
ing to pay that amount to his wife for
her own and his children's support, and
the order of the court was made by Judge
Allen accordingly.
But the advance agent of prosperity
has not reached Los Angeles yet and
Heilbron failed to make full payment
to his wife and fell $3.50 short and yes
terday he appeared in department six in
obedience to citation to show cause.
The defendant explained the state of
his business affairs and showed that
he owed 500 on his business, and that
the monthly expenses amounted to $295
Apart from his business he has no source
of income. In the event of his being
compelled to pay the full amount of $50
per month he thought it would be only
matter of time until his business pass
ed out of his hands to his creditors De-
fendants counsel stated that Mrs He'll
bron was not in distressing circum-
stances; that she had $1,000 worth of dia-
monds, and Seattle property that yield :
ed rents, besides some money in the
bank
Mrs. Heilbron's attorney, however,
would not concede this and his client
went upon the stand to rebut any idea
that she had any income. Without plac-
ing valuation upon her Jewels she said
they belonged to her little son, and the
property remaining from a consdera BILE
fortune was also in the sons name. She
stated that her youngest child was very

AN ART SALE

That Is RepIdisted bv a Prominent Resident
of Santa Honica
A case came up on appeal from the
Justices court at Santa Monica. before
Judge Clark in department two yester-
day, which was calculated to win the
sympathies of many a long suffering
housewife.
The suit was one wherein the glib
tongue of the ubiquitous book---or in
this case more properly the art-agent
had entangled Mrs. E. J. Vawter in
contract for just ten times the amount
that she supposed in the purchase Of
a really handsome art work
1t appeared that on November II, 1894
Mrs Vawter signed a contract with W.
Finley & Co. for the purchase of one
copy of an edition de luxe (Japan proofs)
of the Worlds Masterpieces of Modern
Painting, to be published in ten sections,
at SO per section payable on delivery
of each section. Each section was to
contain eight large photographers, one
mezzo tint and one etching, on Japanese
paper, and each section was to contain
an extra (duplicate) of one photogravure
or meZzotint, painted in water colors by
first class artists.
Mrs. Vawter repudiated having ever
agreed to take the ten sections. but con-
ceded that she had agreed to take one,
and refused to take delivery of full set
She was thereupon sued by John j. New
begin, to whom the claim had been as
signed by the publishing firm for 500
After the facts in the case had been
ELECTED the case was submitted.

The Plaintiff Rests and Testimony on the
2. Side Begins

The Plaintiff Rests and Testimony on the
p. Side Begins
Yesterday morning the plaintiff In the
suit of Daneri VS.. the Southern Califor-
mia Railroad company rested its case.
and testimony was then taken on behalf
Of the defendant corporation.
The first witness put forward was c.
w. Sanders, c. E., who submitted a
number of maps and surveys illustrative
of the location of the levee. He showed
that the location of the levee was at a
tangent to the east bank, and if it were
projected 1t would intersect the east
bank approximately near to where the
break occurred The witness also tes-
titled that at that point the bank was
only four feet high. and that opposite to
that point the height of the levee was
eight feet. These points, made by wit
ness. did not materially differ from the
contentious of the plaintiff that the
water, being confined to such a narrow
channel, forced its way through the
point of least resistance.
A. r. Sepulveda and Gaspar Valen-
zuela also traced the course of the flood
which. in general outline, was largely a
repetition of testimony heretofore given.

AN INVALID ATTACHMENT
A Contract Drawn and Made Payable Outside
Of the State

Some time ago William r. Smith of
the firm Of Worthington. Smith & Co
of New York, wholesale dealers in mil
linery supplies, etc, brought suit
against May Agnes Jordan for $3.50. %
and an attachment was levied upon the
store of the defendant
A motion was made in department
hVe by counsel representing Mrs Jor-
dan that the attachment should be dis
solved on the ground that the contract
between the parties, and upon which
suit was brought, had not been made in
this state, and was not by it's terms.
payable in this state, but in the CITY Of
New York
The reason for which this is held 20
be contract made in New York" saws
Judge Shaw in an opinion handed down
ARE these: The law declares that the
mail carriers of the United States are
the agents OF the defendants here to
carry for her orders for the goods to
New York, and there deliver them to the
plalntlH. Likewise the carrier to whom
the goods We're delivered for shipment
to the defendant at Los Angeles is deem
ed in law to be the agent Of the defend
ant to receive the goods from the plainr-
if in New York, and the delivery to thA
carrier is a complete delivery to the do
fendant and passes the title at once
What one does by means Of an agent
is of the same effect in law as if done
by the principal in person. Therefore
the transaction is the same as if the d.
fendant herself had gone to New York
and there given the plaintiff the orders
and received from him the goods.
From the foregoing authorities AMI
reasons it is clear that the contract SCI
forth in the original comglaint was
neither made in this state nor payable

NOT THOSE WANTED
Two Honest Fellows Mistaken for Two Of the
"Weary Wraggies" Family

"Weary Wraegies" Family
A case Of mistaken identity occurred
in the Justices court at San Pedro yes
terday that resulted very nearly in two
INNOCENT men being sent to Jail as
''vags."
Two men were arrested on the charge
of begging and responsible citizens came
forward and positively identified each
of them as tramps that had hung around
and begged from them. The evidence
seemed conclusive until the men them
selves told their story. One states that
he had recently arrived from Australia
on an English ship; that he was sailor
and no tramp at all. The other stated
that he was painter and had just pre-
vious to his arrest got job at his trade
BY mere chance the STRAIGHTFORWARD
statements of the men themselves re-
ceived corroboratiOn, for responsible
citizen was found who, while making
every allowance for the similarity in
appearance between the defendants and
the tramps who had annoyed SO many
people, swore positively that they were
not the men.
Assistant District Attorney Williams,
who suspected a mistake had been made
when the men gave such good accounts
of themselves, and delayed the case un-
til the latter witness could be found

WAS REFUSED BAIL
And Now Rutland Demands SIo,s6 by Way
of Damages

Damage suits are having the right Of
way in the courts just now and yester-
day another one opened up for trial in
department five.
The suit has been instituted by ]. B.
Rutland, who used to carry on busi-
ness at the corner of Fourth and Spring
streets, against the Dold Packing COM
pany, to recover SO, ,565.0o as damages.
On June 6, 1895, the defendant COM
pany filed a complaint in the city JUS
tees court against plaintiff to recover
SS3.S6, and filed an affidavit that to the
best of their knowledge and belief Rub
land was about to leave the state with
the intent to defraud his creditors. A
warrant was issued for the arrest of
plaintiff, who was at that time in San
Diego, and Constable j. H. Johnson
proceeded to the bay to serve it. After
having it indorsed by Justice Bryan of
San Diego, he did so, and for eight hours
Rutland was kept in jail until time for
the train to leave for Los Angeles.
Upon arriving in the city the con-
stable took his prisoner before Justice
Morrison. it then being between 8 and
. o'clock in the evening, when the court
upon the advice and under the direc-
tion of the defendant and its attorney,
w. r. Bacon, and a the special instance
and request of the defendant" proceeded
to receive the return of the constable
Rutland denied the allegations of the
complaint that had been filed against
him and offered to give bail, either by
bond or cash deposit, for payment of
any judgment that might be given
against him when the case came to trial
But the court again acting upon the
advice and under the direction of w. r.
Bacon, etc, etc." would not permit bail
TO be given. 1t was case of put up or
shut up" in very truth; and put for keeps
and not as mere bail money; or, in
other words, pay the demand of $50 Sc.
with the accruing costs, or go to Jail
Rutland protested, but his protesta-
tions were in vain, and to save himself
from going to Jail ne paid the sum of

1t is now contended by Rutland that
he paid at that time $40 in procuring his
discharge $25 as attorneys fees, and
suffered by loss of time and interruption
to his business $500. In addition to being
recouped in these amounts he demands
$4,000 for the suffering in body and minG,

THE JAMES CASE
Testimony Of a Preliminary Character Being
Taken

The day was far advanced yesterday
before the jury panel had been complet-
ed in the United States district court in
the trial of Capt. James for having for
warded the "Non-Partisan" through the
United States mails. Eventually, how
ever, that was done and the taking of
testimony began.
L. r. Minor, a mailing clerk in the
postoffice, testified to the defendant 5
having mailed a quantity of matter
complained of as being obscene, and ex-
planned that two copies of the Nom Par
tisan had been extracted from the lot
deposited in accordance with instruc-
tions received from Inspector Flint.
Attorney Ladd of counsel for the de-
fence, moved to strike out this testimony
as he claimed that the evidence had
been surreptitiously obtained, inasmuch
as the clerk had no right to interfere with
packages deposited in the mails. The
motor was over-ruled.
Further hearing in the case will be
continued this morning.
