Go By

William R. Blackman, the defaulting
cashier of the Los Angeles Electric COM
pany, was brought before Justice Young
yesterday afternoon at o'clock, and ar
raigned on yet another charge.
The complaint had been sworn to dur
ing the day by w. H. Burns, one of the
officers Of the corporation, and the charge

A STRANGE CHARGE
Preferred by Mother Against Her
Bow

The delightful suburban town of Pas
adena, strange to say, furnishes some
Of the most peculiar cases that appear
in the courts.
Yesterday young boy named Harry
Haas was before Judge Allen on the
charge of insanity. He had been arrest
ed on complaint of his mother, and
Judge Rsssiter issued the order of ar
rest, in which the boy was declared to
be menace to life and property" The
youngster was examined by Drs Coch-
ran and Smith and declared to be men
tally sound as a bell. Furthermore the
father of the boy came into court a.
swore that the complaint had been ma
without his knowledge and consentlt
AS matter of fact it developed t.
Harry Haas is mischievous boy,
boylike, much given to letting hors
loose from the pasture and other mol
keylike tricks that boys are very prone
to indulge in. He could not even be
classed as an incorrigible, but the facts
as they appeared would SEEM to indi-
cate that the mother could.

A WOMAN'S vILENESS
Little Martin POGO Abducted by Its
Mother

Habeas corpus proceedings are quite
the vogue just now, and yesterday an
other writ was sued out in department
six, behind which rather a sad story
is hidden.
Juan POGO has for the last four years
lived at 506A Alameda street, where Mr.
and Mrs. POGO lived happily and made
both ends meet by running small res
taurant. Some time ago one Michel
Haxon appeared on the scene and play
Poco's Marguerite.
To sum the story up briefly, the couple
made off last Sunday and took rooms a,
the notorious Buena Vista house, or
New High street. Since then Juan POGO
has gone on attending the restaurant
and seeking what happiness he could
in the society of his baby boy, Martin
About $3.50 on Friday night, however
the shameless wife appeared at the door
with Deputy Constable Hughes of Bal
Iona township. Mary claimed she came
after some of her things, which, in her
haste to go, she had forgotten.
She went into the bedroom, where the
baby was lying on the bed, leaving Juan
POGO in conversation with the consta-
ble's deputy, who had been brought
along in case it became necessary to
intimidate Juan.
While the latter, however was talk
ing with the officer, Mary picked up the
child and jumped with it out of a low
window and coolly walked away, TAX
ing the child to the Buena Vista house
When the deputy. was gone and Juan
looked for. his wife she was poue q nd
out of sight.
In court yesterday the father appeared
brokenhearted. The thought of the
whole miserable business was bad
enough, but the idea that his infant boy
should be brought up amid such sur
roundings as obtain at the Buena Vista
house was more than he was prepared
to stand.
The writ was made returnable to-
morrow at 2 p m.

ALTOGETHER TOO GAY
John Gay Held UP Chinese Camp

On Friday afternoon a rough looking

Permission was given and then the ap-

The Testimony of Ware
UnShaken
THE C0NSPIRAT0RS' PLAN
OTHER OUTSIDE PARTIES ARE
IMPLICATED
In the Green Mortgage Swindle-A
Woman's Vileness-Angel M.
Ornelas Arrested

The further hearing in the examinati ton
Of the several defendants charged with
having defrauded the Columbia Savings
bank by means of a forged deed was
continued before Justice Young yester-
day.
The day was really given up to the
cross-examination of w. w. Ware by
Attorney Shinn, who is representing the
defendant, Compton. Ware won some
notoriety by making bogus suicide at
Long Beach that led to his capture, and
now he is again posing as the most
prominent parsonage connected with
what was rather ingenious swindle by
turning states evidence and giving away
all the details of the plans laid by what
on its face at present appears to have
been the operations of gang of mort
gage sharks.
From o'clock in the morning until 5
o'clock in the evening, with the exception
of about half an hour, Ware was under
a sharp cross-examination that was CAL
culated to entangle the witness in a
mesh of contradictions had he not been
telling the strict truth in the first in
stance. The witness retained his com
posure, however, and was not shaken in
the essential facts of his direct state
ment. But some serious reflections were
made on number of persons that, con-
sidering that Compton made them If they
were made, served no other purpose than
to provoke laugh al the unlucky wight
thus brought into prominence.
The amplified testimony of Ware yes
terday-for it was in large part a mere
amplification of the testimony given on
Friday-set forth clearly that all the
principals in the scheme of fraud are not
yet in the hands of the law. The man
Shields, Mrs. Reinold and the notary,
King, are, if Wares statements are to
be believed, in varying degree guilty of
participation in the mortgage fraud in
connection with Mr.. Greenes lot in the
Daily tract.
Ware is a married man with four chill
dren, and these form five very distinct
and separate reasons why the feeling OF
repugnance ordinarily felt against the
informer is minimized in his case.
Yesterday he traced in detail and from
its inception the scheme of fraud and
showed the part each defendant and
others not defendants played in the
transaction. He began by saying that

The guardianship matter was fully
ventilated recently in the case brought
by Manuela, through her guardian,
against Ygnacio A. Garcia, which was
a complicated action to foreclose mort
gage on land belonging to the Alvarado
estate, which had been held by Ornelas
as Manuela's guardian, and which mort
gage he released without any order of
court, claiming, however, that such order
had been given. The court held the re-
lease to be void.
