geste6that a new information be filed i'm

guilty, and the trial could then proceed
without delay. Judge Smith favored this
view, but the defendants attorneys were
too elated at the district attorney Offices
sad mistake to be merciful. They entered
exceptions to the withdrawal of the infor-
nation, to leave being granted for the fill
ing of a new one, and they positively re-
fused to proceed to trial at once. There
were altogether 70 witnesses from Santa
Monica, whose expenses, to be paid by the
county, will be about $780, The expenses for
the Jurors will be s160. This makes total
of 1920, Just because an inexperienced youth
intrusted with a typewriter in the district
attorneys office lacks sufficient judgment
to know that Collint is a very extraordin-
airy name and Collins very ordinary one.
A person of maturer years might reason
ably have inquired into the matter of such
an uncommon name, and have learned how
1t should be spelled, at the expense of very
little exertion. 1t is sad commentary upon
the methods in the district attorneys office
that such things can pass unchecked.
The deputy district attorney who signed
the information is Mr.. Willis. After the
expressions of disgust heard in the court
room were loud and vehement. That did
no good, however. An explanation of the
mistake is given in the district attorneys
office by saying that the party who drew
up the complaint in the Santa Monica JUS
tice's court makes the letter So very sim
liar to "t," and that this led to the inser-
tion of name that was wrong in the war;

A VITAL ERROR DISCOVERED
In the Nick Of Time-Mary Garcia's
Trial Comes to a Sudden
Halt

When the case Of Mary Garcia, accused
Of murder, was called yesterday forenoon
Department one was crowded with people
who were interested in the case, either as
witnesses or because they wanted to hear
the details of a particularly brutal tragedy.
They were disappointed. 1t was discovered
that the district attorneys office had been
guilty of one of its usual objectionable
botches, for which there Is no earthly ex-
cuse, except that there is no proper super
vision In that institution. The silence which
followed the discovery of the error was
painful. Judge Smith did not enter into
dissertation Of the big money which this
new blunder was going to cost the county.
He had relieved his mind on the subject
the day before, at the trial of Welch and
Harris. Whatever he said was not deliv-
cred from the bench or uttered for publica-
ton. Judge Smith yesterday sawed wood.
Deputy District Attorney McComas had
been designated to prosecute the Garcias,
although he had had no connection with
the preliminary examination or the draw
Ing up Of the informations charging Mary
Garcia and Pedro Garcia with murder. and
yesterday he was fully prepared to pro-
ceed. The jury of Department six. In addi-
ton to that of Department one, was ready
to supply the necessary talesmen.
AS Mr.. McComas picked up the informa-
ton look of disgust overspread his feat
ures. The document was faulty and void.
It was alleged therein that Mary Garcia
had killed and murdered Charles Collint.
The man who lost his life at Santa Monica
at the hands of somebody with an ak in
them was named Charles Collins. If the
mistake had not been discovered until after
the case had proceeded to trial, that would
have meant an acquittal for Mary, whether
the evidence had clearly shown her to be
q ferocious murderess or not. But, fortu
natelY Mr.. McComas saw the point in
time.

ne YELLED FOR PANTS
CLAIMS THAT MAY TOSSEL DE-
CAMPED WITH THEM
A Toothless Siren Who Apparently
Does Not Let Any Grass Grow
Under Her Feet

| Mary e. Tossell was before Justice Ow-
ems yesterday to answer to charge OF
drunkenness. Mary answered the allega-
ton with great Indignation and with the full
vigor of her lungs, denying that either she
or her husband ever drank anything. Her
trial was set for this afternoon.
The charge of intoxication is the least
of her troubles, however. for Mary was
also arrested on a charge of petty larceny.
According to the statements OF e. Gordon,
Mary could give cards and spades to the
Jane whose golden hair was hanging down
her back. Gordon met Mary on the street
last Tuesday night, and, being as lonely as
the newest stranger in strange land ordi-
narily feels, listened to the song of the
siren. Mary has long since lost all Of her
teeth, and the beauty which was once wont
to adorn her features also moved, bag and
baggage, about the same day she bade
farewell to her molars. Mary's charm Of
manner still continues with her, though,
and Gordon accompanied the sociafjle fe-
male to a lodging house at Third and Los
Angeles streets.
Gordon was slumbering peacefully when
Mary left the room, but she did not go
empty-handed. In fact, her arms were
heavy with the load of clothes which Cor
don claims she took. When he awoke he
discovered that the woman and all of his
clothes and money, which amounted to $50,
were nowhere to be found. In view, how
ever of the chill of the night and his abbre-
Waited costume, he did not search beyond
the confines of the room for any of his ap-
parel, but contented himself by yelling at
the top of his voice for pair of trousers.
A good Samaritan, in the shape of male
friend, appeared and, after he saw the pre-
dicament of the trusting Gordon. helped
him out of his difficulty by lending him the
much-needed raiment. Gordon reported the
affair to the police and swore to COM
plant charging Mary with petty larceny.
