Cramer Seeks His Liberty

A petition has been in circulation for
some days for the parole Of Wilson E.
Cramer, now serving a five years sentence
at San Quentin, sent up from this county,
on a charge of forgery. The petition was
for several days in the hands of Attorney
Hyatt. but finally turned 1t over to other
parties whose names he did not state. The
paper was presented to several Of the
court house officials. but seems to have
been signed by but two persons-Sheriff
Burr and Deputy District Attorney Nc
Comas, who was prosecutor in the case
against Cramer. The two gentlemen named
could not be seen. as they were out of
town, so verification of the statement of
their having signed the petition could not
be made.
Cramer was a trusty in the county Jail
at the time that Upper and others at
tempted to pass gun in to Kid Thompson,
and 1t was Cramer whom the gang APP
preached to aid in carrying out their plans.
He went in on the deal ostensibly, but in
formed Tailor Kennedy, and the result was
that the Kids plans. which might other
wise have resulted in bloodshod, failed.
Cramer's case was then before the SUI
preme court on appeal. The verdict Of the
lower court was affirmed and he was sent
to prison.

STOLEN MONEY
German Station Ranchers in Court
Over Trust Funds

The case of Jesus Leon against William
Bailey was on trial before Judge Allen in
department three yesterday. The parties
hail from near German station, where Bal
ley is a prosperous American and Leon a
Mexican rancher. The Baileys and Leon
have long been on friendly terms as near
neighbors, and Leon was in the habit of
trusting his funds in the hands Of the Bal
leys for safe keeping.
Icons complaint alleges that in 1896 he
turned over to Bailey $3.50 to keep for him
subject to his pleasure Thereafter at va
rious times he received back $3.50, leaving
a balance Of $50 in Bailey's hands. 1t Is
for this amount that Leon sues, claiming
that 1t has never been paid him. The de-
PENDANT, Bailey. alleges In his answer that
the money was stolen from his house by
persons unknown to him. The evidence
goes to show that Leon simply placed the
money with the Baileys at his own risk
that they did not need It, borrow 1t nor use
It, and that party living with Leon, an
other Mexican, knew Of the money and
where It was. and probably took it. He
was held for time on suspicion Of having
committed the theft, but on account Of no
absolute proof Of guilt was allowed to go.
The case was submitted pending the filing
az briefs In conformity with the pleadings.

RED CROSS
A Suggestion for the Proposed Hos
pital Ship

A suggestion TOT the proposed aoS-
pital Ship
Mrs. A. B. Spencer, one Of the unremit-
ting workers at Red Cross headquarters.
suggests that in view of the purchase Of the
Sardia as a hospital ship for the Philip
pines by the government, 1t would be a
graceful recognition of Clara Barton's SER
vices to the soldiers, sailors and the coun-
try to name the vessel for her. Mrs. Paul
Blades and others fully endorse the bright
idea, and the suggestion Is therefore Of
fered for the consideration Of the promot-
ers of the enterprise. AS the soldiers seem
to be pretty generally supplied with the
necessary camp equipments, and as hos
pital supplies will be always forthcoming
from a generous public when needed, why
would 1t not be a wise use Of Red Cross
funds to apply them to fitting out vessel
for this purpose. No statement of the
funds in the local Red Cross treasury has
been made public, but from all benefits and
other resources known Los Angeles could
certainly make generous donation toward
it.
There are still some unsettled accounts
outstanding from the Modjeska benefit
that will be liquidated today. and full
statement Of the amount accruing to the
Red Cross will be made.
Capt. aWnkowski was a visitor at head
quarters yesterday, comforting with the of.
ficers on matters pertaining to Red Cross
work among the soldiers. Several work.
