Mrs. Feliciano called at the office of Dis
trict Attorney A. A. Oglesby in connection
with the prosecution of Jose Uvieda, whose
arrest she caused upon charge of rape
upon the person of her daughter, Manuela
Dominguez. The lady admitted that she
had authorized and requested the county
clerk of Ventura county to issue mar
riage license TO the pair, but claimed that
the crime of rape was committed prior to
the marriage. The district attorney in
formed her that her consent to the issu-
ance of license wiped out the felony COM
mitted and the charge must be dismissed.
After a thorough investigation, Mr.. Og-
lesby finds that Uvieda was never married
to the woman by whom he had four child
rem and who caused his arrest on charge
of failure to provide. The circumstances
are such that Uvieda will escape punish-
ment.
