FIXED A JURY
Charges Against Orange
County Officials
WEST AND HUNTINGTON
MONEY SAID TO HAVE CHANGED
HANDS
How a List Of Available Jurors Was
Made out-Attorney Brooks
Remarkable Story

The trial Of May Wright at Santa Ana,
on charge Of conducting house Of
ill-fame, promises to result In some
startling developments. The woman
has bitterly fought her prosecutors. and
was acquitted on several charges. but
recently was convicted. together with
her male companion. w. Wright.
Her attorney, ]. Marion Brooks, leaves
today for Sacramento to bring the mat
ter to direct issue In the supreme court.
He is authority for the statement that
a detective Of Santa Ana, named ]. w.
Copeland, has confessed to the effect
that there has been Jury fixing" resort
ed to by those interested in the prosecu-
tion. The statement Is said to implicate
some of the officials Of Orange county,
and on It Ia based the resort to the su-
preme court.
Mr.. Brooks states that the prosecution
Of the woman and her companion, W.
Wright, grew out of the proximity Of
the house to the Methodist church, and
to secure conviction Detective Good
man Of this city was asked to recon-
mend detective to procure evidence.
He named ex-Police Officer Shields. w.
w. Hudson and ]. W. Copeland, also de-
tectives. were employed.
Shields later came to Mr.. Brooks and
told him he had been "1obbed." and
showed him letter from Justice of the
Peace Huntington. who tried the wo-
man. to Detective Copeland, saying that
he had seen his people (the church peo-
ple) about the prosecution of the woman
and asking Copeland to meet him in
some secluded place to arrange matters
Copeland afterward showed this letter
to Brooks, and at the same time exhib-
tied list given to him, he said, by
Huntington, of the Jurors, in the just
ices handwriting, who were afterwards
selected to try the case. Copeland, fore
seeing the possible outcome Of the af-
fair, had a copy made of the list. retain
ing tho original, and gave the copy to
Constable Robinson, who, 1t Is asserted,
summoned the desired jurors-the ones
the justice who was to try the case had
selected.
Copeland also admitted to Brooks that
he had met District Attorney West and
Justice Huntington; that West gave
Huntington $40, who in turn handed 1t to
Copeland to use in gaining evidence
against the Wright woman. Copeland
stated that he took the money and on
the night of october 29th went to the
Wright place, bought liquor there and
disported himself in high-rolling man.
ner, thereby securing the evidence
which, afterwards led to the woman's
conviction.
1t all appears to have been case Of
trop de zele on the part Of the Justice
and district attorney. for If Mr.. Brooks
Is correct. they have given ground not
only for the release of the convicted pair,
but have also rendered themselves La
BILE to proceedings to remove them from
office.

TRADES PARADE POSTPONED
Stamp Rebate Scheme Jumped on by
Oakland Merchants

The executive committee Of the home
products department met at the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
rooms yesterday, and among a number
Of other things decided to postpone the
trades parade until January "a, 1893
That date Is to be declared legal holi-
day because Of it's being the semi-cen-
tennial anniversary Of the discovery OF
gold in California.
Forty manufacturers have sent In
word that they will participate in the
parade with floats and employees; the
militia will turn out, and the different
trade organizations.
The official opening Of the home pro-
ducts permanent display will not take
place until January 22d, and will be by
invitation. There will be an informal
program Of music and speeches, followed
by refreshments. A good many OF the
booths are already engaged.
Communications from Tacoma and
Seattle state that the cheap transpor-
tation question between those ports and
San Francisco has been referred in each
place to their respective chambers OF
commerce.
1t seems the gentleman who has been
endeavoring to organize the double pat.
ent reversible stamp rebate system with
the merchants here, is still hard al
work and is circulating the report that
said system has been adopted In Oak
land. Whereas, In fact. the Merchants
exchange Of that city has begun an ac.
tive crusade against the stamp rebate
scheme. and has already procured an
ordinance to go into effect January 1st
by the terms Of which It is made mis-.
demeanor with fine of $500 or siz
months imprisonment for any person
or corporation to give coupons, stamps
cards, numbers or tickets to increase
trade.
The general opinion up there seems t
be not only that 1t Is a gambling scheme
Of the worst kind, but will take great
deal Of money out Of the city, and 1t is
estimated that in Los Angelea 1t would
take not less than $4,000 month, which
would go direct to this eastern firm.

Being of one color in plumage, they

Their plumage is pure white through

disqualify them. 1t has been matter
of much speculation as to which varie-
ty of Leghorns is most prolific in egg
production. This is difficult question
to properly adjust to the satisfaction
of the speciality breeders, but from a
conservative standpoint it is generally
considered that the whites have slight
ly the advantage over the others. Phe-
nomenal individual egg records have
been made by most all the varieties,
