MAUD MILLER IN COURT
A Pretty but Naughty Little Miss
Narrow Escape From Whittier

Stella Maud Miller, pretty and we'll
dressed young girl of about Is, was exam
ined by Judge Van Dyke yesterday as an
ncorrigible on the complaint of her foster
mother, a little old woman with black
goggles, who said that Stella behaves badly
and strays continually from home. The
girls mother is resident of Boyle Heights.
married to a man not the father of the
child, and don't want her.
Mrs. Bell, superintendent of Stimson
Lafayette industrial school, testified that
the girl is very bright and intelligent,
but that her conduct is very improper
and her language vile. Efforts had been
made to have her reform, but unsuccess-
fully, and she was source of contamina-
ton to the other children.
Stella shed a few tears when Judge Van
Dyke gave her a fatherly lecture. She
expressed great unwilingness to be sent
to Whittier and penitently promised to
reform. Mrs. Miller said she had forgiven
her step-daughter already seven times
seven, but she was willing to try her once
more Stella was told that at the next
complaint she would surely be confined to
the reformatory until her majority.

Arrest of Black and Weitzel fol
Alleged Pool Selling

F. Weitzel and f. D. Black were arrested
Yesterday afternoon by Sergeant Smith
and Officers Sparks and German on war
rants charging them with having sold pools
on races. Weitzel's place is at 212 South
Spring street, while Black has been doing
business in the rear of 14S South Broadway.
Both establishments have been taking the
results of the Memphis races direct by wire
and have been making books and laying
odds on the various horses that run in the
east. An ordinance was passed some time
ago prohibiting this form of sport in the
city and for time it was stopped, Black
getting the results at Agricultural park
Weitzel was arrested last summer on
charge of violating this ordinance and was
fined 500 by Justice Owens, after the su-
perior court had sustained the verdict Of
the police court
Sparks and German have been investi-
eating the two places for the past four or
five days and claim to have purchased a
number of tickets from both defendants.

of course mere matter of detail Both of

LADD's FIND
Missing Summons Turns Up and the
Lanning Divorce Case Is Heard


The divorce case of L. E. Lanning against
Mrs. Almina Lanning on the charge of de-
sertion was tried yesterday by Judge York
and taken under advisement Lanning
married his wife on Dec. 25, 1882, in Iowa,
and she left him and their two children,
hoy II years old, and a 15-year-old girl, on
March l. 1892, in this city. This is the case
that got Attorney Ladd in trouble in De-
partment one, after Judge Smith had
granted but not signed decree in favor of
Lanning, because it was charged by Chief
Deputy County Clerk George Varcoe that
Ladd had advanced the date on the aff1da-
Wit of Service of summons one day in or
der to be enabled to enter the default OF
the defendant. As the original summons
was missing matters We're somewhat COM
plicated, but Mr.. Ladd yesterday found
the document in his office among some
other papers and had it filed in court
Whether this paper was conveniently"
found or honestly mislaid is a matter fo-
surmise. 1t shows that c. B. Ladd had
changed 10 into in the affidavit in which
he swore that he had served the COM
plant and summons in the divorce suit
upon Mrs. Almina Lanning.

others should not be pressed, ana 1t has
already been currently reported that he
had nothing whatever to do with that par
ticular burglary, but chose to take 1t upon
his shoulders because 1t was not nearly as
bad as the ones that were dropped.
Having pleaded guilty to the crime, no
witnesses gave their evidence, and Filkins
received a sentence of five years in the San
Quentin penitentiary. While on the train
going north in the custody of Deputy
Sheriff Barnhill Filkins escaped near Fres-
no and made his way back to Los Angeles.
Francisco Melendrez received him with
open arms at the rooms occupied jointly
by herself, her sister and the latter's lover,
young man named Smith Mcdonald, OH
Wilmington street. and they hid him care
fully away. But a negro bootblack got
onto the fact and for the reward offered by
Sheriff Burr gave the thing away. Filkins
was recaptured and sent to San Quentin
and Francisco and Mcdonald were locked
UP as accessories after the fact. The other
Melendrez girl was not molested because
she had a tender infant to look after.
There was considerable sympathy with
the Melendrez woman, because. however
depraved she may be, she stood steadfast
by the man she loved in the hour of his
need; but the sheriff was determined to
have revenge because of Filkins' escape.
and the greatest pressure to have the de-
PENDANTS tried came from his office. Miss
Melendrez and Mcdonald were arrested in
the early part of January and in default of
bail remained continuously in jail until
Yesterday afternoon. The first informa-
ton against them was found to be faulty,
and they had to be re-examined and held
to answer.
When the case was called for trial yes
terday 1t was foregone conclusion that it
must end with an acquittal, as the prose-
cution not only had to prove that Filkins
committed the felony for which he was
sent up, but that the defendants harbored
him knowing that he had committed 1t. In
order to show this the people would have
had to prove the burglary to which Filkins
had pleaded guilty and this could not be
done, as no evidence had at the time benl
taken. Under such circumstances the pros
ecution had to throw up its hand
AS soon as the defendants had been re-
leased they hurried to Justice Young's
court room where Agnes Melendrez was
at once married to Smith Mcdonald. The
young woman had obtained a marriage
license little over two weeks ago, the day
before her lover was to have been tried.
but at that time Sheriff Burr and District
Attorney Donnell refused to give their con-
sent Mcdonald being their prisoner. Just
ice Young married the young couple gratis,
as they are without means at present.
