THAT LOST WARRANT
The Deputy District Attorney Takes
Issue With Maybury

Deputy District Attorney James yes
terday took very decided exception to the
statement made by w. Maybury in the
city court on Thursday that he had been
refused a complaint when he first made
representation in the district attorneys
office.
When Maybury first came to me an6
told his story" said Mr.. James.
thought there were elements of improba-
bility in 1t and asked him If he had any
witnesses to the affair. He stated that he
had, and 1 then asked him to bring them
up to see me- When he did so received
corroboration of the facts as set forth by
him and drew the complaint and the
matter then passed out of the jurisdic-
ton of the district attorneys office. At
a later date, however and of my own
volition, I wrote to Mr.. Stockwell, clerk
of the city court, asking him to look
through Everett's papers for the war
rant that had disappeared. That the
grand jury was advised that it might dis
regard the matter when Maybury rep
resented his case Is very probable, al
though I have no knowledge whether
the grand jury was so advised or not.
AS a matter of fact, however, the Incl
dent ended so far as this office was con-
cerned when the complaint was issued,
and that was done at once when May
bury's relation was corroborated by the
witnesses he brought forward"

A FORGED DEED
Miss Douglass, Who Personated a
Namesake

William Clark and Mrs. Agnes Har-
riet Douglass were up in the township
court yesterday before Justice Young,
for preliminary examination on the
charge of having forged deed.
The evidence as adduced was much
the same in its essential features as has
hitherto been published in The Herald.
Clark has resided with his parents about
three miles south of the terminus of the
Vernon electric car line, and on Febru-
ary 25th called at the office of ]. c. Oil
yer, who is notary on South Broadway,
in company with lady. The latter was
introduced as Miss Douglass, and she
signed her name as Harriet A. Douglass
upon making affidavit to an application
for a section of government land. Clark
then offered deed to lot 49, block 1, of
the Mason tract. 1t was a transfer of
the property from Harriet NJ. Douglass
to William Clark the consideration men
toned being s250O. After the signature
had been attached the couple departed
On the day following, however, Clark
returned to the office of Oliver and in
quired If loan of $500 could not be
negotiated on the security of the lot, il
being located at the corner of Grand
avenue and Thirty-first street. oliver
called upon Mr.. Stassforth and told him
what was wanted, and the latter began
the investigation usual in such matters.
He learned that the former owner of
the property was Miss Harriet NJ. Doug
lass, a resident of Port Henry, N. Y,
who had left Los Angeles someCime ago.
Robert McGarvin, the real estate man,
who was well acquainted with Miss
Douglass and her business affairs here,
thought an air of suspicion surrounded
the application for toan, and therefore
Stassforth told Clark that he must fur
nish an abstract of title and prove iden-
tification of Miss Douglass. This he
said he would do, and one of the ABSTRACT
companies was instructed to draw up
the necessary abstract. With regard to
Identification Clark said he was not so
certain, as he did not know where Miss
Douglass lived. =
An examination of the signature to the
deed of transfer by Mr.. McGarvin con-
WINGED him that it was a forgery and al
most Immediately after a complaint is
sued from the district attorneys Office
and a warrant issued for the arrest
of both Clark and his companion. On
March 10th Clark was arrested and three
days la ter the Douglass woman was also
In custody.
The evidence was of plain, straight
forward character and upon its conclu-
sion the defendant, Clark was held to
answer in $4,000. A bond for this amount
not being forthcoming. he was COM
mitted to the county jail In the case
of Mrs. Douglass, Assistant District At
torney Williams, who prosecuted the
case, inclined to the opinion that she
was innocent of intentional wrong
doing and had acted merely at the dicta-
tion of Clark without realizing the crime
TO which she had nIcee herself a party.
At the same time the court was not in
clined to discharge her, as she will be
very important witness. and in such
case be able to cast flood of light upon
a very shady transaction.

THE RAYMOND FIRE
A Guest Who Wanted to Recover the
Value of His Lost Effects

One of the guests who happened to
suffer loss by the burning of the Ray
mond hotel in April 1895. instituted suit
to recover the value of his property,
and yesterday the case came to trial
before Judge Allen.
George T. Harris, who resides at 300
Wallace street, Philadelphia, was the
plaintiff, and at the time of the fire oc-
cupied rooms on the second floor of the
hotel with his wife, son and daughter.
The family lost most of their belongings,
valued at $780, Counsel for the de-
fense wanted a non-suit on the ground
that Walter Raymond was not RESPONSE
BILE for the loss, inasmuch as it was not
possible to have removed all the Harris
effects. Counsel for plaintiff, on the
other hand, contended that with 100 SER
wants in the house some one should have
gone to the relief of his clients in their
Danger. The motion for non-suit was
denied and the trial proceeded.
Most of the testimony was by deposit
tion the parties all being non-residents
of this state. Mr.. Harris states that he
first learned of the fire by hearing a
small boy riding past on q bicycle who
called out to some one: Mister, your
hotel is on fire" He thereupon looked
out of the window and saw the south
west corner of the hotel enveloped in fire
and smoke. He dragged out three
trunks to the elevator with the assist
ance of his 18-year-old boy, and the lat
ter worked the elevator, and thus saved
a portion of the family effects. A guam
tity of goods scattered around the
rooms Mr.. Harris gathered into a sheet
and carried tower his shoulder down the
staircase.
No effort. it is alleged, was made by
those in charge to check the fire, and
the plaintiff stated that he saw no one
use q hand grenade, hose or extinguish-
er. In the cross interrOgations, however,
he confessed that he had no knowledge
of the water supply ladders or pumping
machinerey.

THE PIco ESTATE
The Shade of Old Don Pho Pico Not to
Re Permitted to Rest

Be Permitted to Rest
The shade of Don Pho Pico is not to be
permitted to rest in peace.
When the last Mexican governor Of
California was at the height of his glory
he owned lands bounded only by the
horizon, cattle that ranged upon them
worth thousands of dollars, and an
abundance of the good things of this
world. His lands and his wealth melted
away upon the advent of the Americana.
in similar fashion to the wealth of many
another Spanish family, and when he
died a short time ago his estate was
pitifully small. When the matter of the
distribution of his estate came up in
the probate court Alfredo Pico was de-
clared his son and heir, and about a
year ago Judge Clark made the order for
distribution.
Now, however, the ghost of dead
things is to be dragged into court and
the matter of the Pico estate is to be
reopened. Joaquina Pico de Moreno and
Grisalda Pico, children of Don Pho Pico,
made such showing before Judge Clark
Yesterday that he ordered the matter
reopened. Joaquina Pico de Moreno
lived with the old man in his latter y<ars
on the ranch near Whittier, and she,
with her sister, assigned their claims to
any interest in their fathers estate to
their brother Alfredo on December 80,
1896 The estate as set forth in the petit
ton for letters of administration,
amounted, however, to only S1010, but
it is now claimed that there were lands
and other property that did not appear
in the showing made in court, and that
they have an interest in.

A CLOSE LIST
A Local Plumber Wants Damages
From the Plumbers Association

The decision of the court of appeals
of New York state in case fought some
what bitterly in the lower courts, has
a direct interest for laboring men every
where. By the terms of that decision
labor unions are debarred from direct
ly or indirectly bringing pressure to bear
against man who is not unionist and
are held liable for damages. In epitoms
that is the decision, and now advantage
is being taken of it to test the question in
Los Angeles, albeit it is against COM
bination of employees that action has
been brought.
Yesterday A. Dellamore began suit

He claims that one of the main objects
of the association is to prevent persons
that are not members from obtaining
contracts, employment, labor or mate
rials. That In pursuance of this plan a
list has been made up comprising those
to whom may be sold materials and sup
plies by the merchants Of the city, and
that by threats and intimidations sales
have been prevented to persons not upon
the list"
On March 10th Dellamore entered into
a contract with George Low, con-
tractor, by virtue of which he as sub
contractor agreed to furnish labor and
materials for the plumbing and gas fit =
ting at the county Jail. The plaintiff
alleges that the association took steps to
prevent him from purchasing the neces-
sary supplies. Merchants from whom he
sought to buy told him he was not on

LIKE HYPNoTIsM
Habits That Appear Almost Hyp'
MOTTO

The tenacity with which some habits
stick to people, or people stick to the
habits is very remarkable particularly
the tobacco and coffee habit.
People act almost as if they were in
reality under a hypnotic spell. They
promise themselves and friends time
and again that they will leave off, when
they find health forsaking them, but
they make one excuse or another and
keep on the dreary way as If guided by
an unseen spirit of evil.
Physicians realize the uselessness of
treating a patient for any of the multi
tude of nervous diseases so long as the
poisonous alkaloids of tobacco and cof-
fee are being taken into the system,
even in minute doses.
1t is a simple matter to break the
coffee spell if the food drink, Postum.
the health coffee made by. the Postum
Cereal Co. lim., of Battle Creek, Mich,

of fine Mocha coffee in looks when
brewed, and changes to the rich golden

The children can sip from papa's or

contain Postum, and their little bodies
will grow round and fat under the nour-
ishment of the pure grains. but it is a
heartless proceeding to feed the tender
bodies on coffee as every one knows the
puny. sickly looks of coffee drinking
children.
Let people adopt healthful food and
drink and throw physic to the dogs"
Just as good as Postum Cereal are

THAT BACK SALARY
Ex-County Officials Who viii Draw
Down for Five DAYS


When the present county administra-
ton went into Office, or. to be precise.
very shortly after, a number Of the ex-
county officials claimed an extra five
days salary for so many days of SER
vice beyond the legal term. AZ number
of these gentlemen assigned their claims
to Robert Beardsley. and he brought suit
to recover s14205 and costs from the
county of Los Angeles in the Justice1s
court.
About the same time ex-District Attor-
ney Dillon brought suit to recover five
days salary in the superior court. Upon
the court ruling against him, he car
ried the case to the supreme court. with
the result that the court of last resort
upheld his claim and reversed the lower
court.
Meantime, however, Beardsley had
received his quietus in the Justices court
and an appeal was taken to the superior
court The case was heard by Jsdge
York who in an exhaustive opinion,
denied the right Of the ex-officials to re-
cover. Inasmuch, however, as the SUI
preme court had passed upon the matter,
the district attorney consented that the
case be re-opened and a new trial grant
ed. Yesterday the matter was again be-
fore Judge York, and upon the testi-
mony presented at the previous trial,
gave judgment for the amount claimed.
1t was thought, and by many hoped,
that the district attorney would move
the supreme court for a re-hearing of
the case of Dillon VS.. Bicknell 1t is by
some contended as fiercely now as be-
fore that appeal was taken that the
question involved in the claim for salary
is not passed upon authoritatively by
the supreme court in It's recent de-
cision, and to let the matter rest only
means that the supreme court will be
made to nullify itself at later date when
the matter is more fully presented. In
addition to which, the opinion was SIM
ply a commissioners opinion and not
that of the court.
