KAISER CHEATS THE GALLowS.


Use Wilo Murderer Commits Suicide
in Ills cen at Norrlstown.
Norristuwu, Pa, Aug. 19.-Charles o.
Kaiser, who was to have been hanged
two weeks from next Tuesday for the
murder Of his wife, Emma Kaiser,
committed suicide yesterday afternoon
in the county Jail by cutting several
arteries in his arm, after which he
hanged himself with an improVised
rope made by twisting one of his bed
sheets While the condemned man
was preparing TO cheat the gallows
the prison officials were in conference
concerning the purchase of a sCaffold-
ing by which TO carry out the law. AS
a consequence Kaiser was not being
watched. When found he had been
dead but a short time.
Kaiser had obtained a spring from n
small alarm clock in his cell, and with
this severed several arteries in his arm.
To make sure of his act he had twisted
the bed sheet about the bars of the
cell door, and making a moose placed it
about his neck. He both strangled and
bled TO death.
Mrs. Kaiser was murdered on the
night of oct. 2S, 1896. She and her hus-
band had gone driving and she never
returned alive. Kaiser told a story OF
being attacked by highWaymen, VINO
had robbed him and his Wife and then
killed her and shot him. He was ar
rested and convicted for the crime, and
subsequently confessed duplicating
James A. Clemmer and his mistress.

New York, Aug. l9.-Gcneral Greedy
yesterday sent notification to the Com
mercial Gable company as follows:
Censorship is raised on all commercial,
code or cipher dispatches to and from
Cuba, Porto Rico and all West Indian
Islands. In addition, arrangements
have been made with the Spanish gov
ernment authorities whereby they agree
to abolish similar restrictions on code
messages in Cuba. As the Spanish still
exercise censorship over press messages
and over private kilograms containing
statements injurious to the interests of
Spain, similar action viii be taken re-
Garding like messages in the United
States, but the censorship will be of the
most liberal character"

STOLE THE YACHT
Ben Lunn Found Guilty Of Grand
Larceny

| Ben Lunn was tried for grand larceny and
convicted yesterday. Judge Noyes of River
side county presided in place Of Judge
Smith. who is now sitting in the trial of a
murder case at Riverside, and jury was
| readily secured, none of those drawn having
knowledge of the case.
Lunn stole a sloop yacht on October 5tE
which belonged to Victor r. Hopf and Wal
ter c. Folsom of Santa Monica. Mr.. Folsom
told on the witness stand yesterday how
they were about taking the boat to San
Pedro to lay up for the winter and Of taking
Lunn as passenger. The latter claiming at
San Pedro to have lost his money they ar
lowed him to stay aboard for a few da,
The yacht came up missing and was next
heard of at San Diego.
Chief of Police James Rus sell of tha. ci. J
testified regarding the arrival of the boat at
that place and of the arrest of Lunn, who
shoal water and got stuck on the Old Town
fats, from which the boat was removed with
difficulty. On being asked how he had got
the boat, Lunn had said at that time he
took it over to the islands on a fishing trip
on the night of October 9TH and a gale
coming up had blown him down the coast
He could not return on account OF the storm
and had put in at SaH Diego.
Certain changes in the appearance Of he
boat had been made, the side lights being re-
duced from six to three in number and
the interior of the cabin had been repainted
a new color This Lunn had explained by
saying the spray had leaked in and SO
changed the appearance of the boat that he
had repanted it.
Afterwards Hopf had gone to San Diego
and accompanied Chief of Police Russell to
the Jail, where sfaement was made voun-
tarily by Lunn This differed somewhat
from that previously given to RUSSELL the
reason assigned this time by Lunn for not
returning to San Pedro from the fishing trip
being that he was becalmed.
Further explanation had also been made
by the defendant that he was later driven
by gale down the coast, landing at San
Tomas bay on the peninsula of Lower Cali
fornia, where he claimed to have lost his
dory, an l8-foot boat used for landing after
coming to anchor. The prisoner said he
remained three days at that place, going
while there fifteen or twenty miles into the
interior to camp of Mexicans. Old clothes
on the boat he claimed he had traded for
provisions.
During Lunn's statement he had told
Russell and Hopf that he stole can of
gasoline at San Pedro, but this fact was
stricken from the record and the jury was
instructed to ignore it in the consideration
of verdict, there being no question of any
other crime before them than that charged
in the information.
The evidence throughout was SO clear that
verdict of guilty was readily returned and
January 4th set as the time for passing SEN
tence.
Assistant District Attorney Williams rep
resented the prosecution and Russ Avery
appeared as counsel for the defendant.

CANNOT USE THE STREET
The Southern Pacific Enjoined From
Construction at Pomona

In an opinion received in this city yester-
day the supreme court affirms the decision
rendered in the superior court of this coun-
ty as to the use of White avenue in Pomona
for branch railroad by the Southern Pa
cifc company. The action was brought
against that company by William O'Connor,
the owner of real property abutting on the
street, to restrain the construction of the
railroad in front of his property, such use
of the street being alleged by him to be an
irreparable damage to his holdings.
The court below found in favor of O'Con-
nor, the railroad company thereafter ap.
pealing from such decision. The supreme
court holds that the facts disclosed clearly
give plaintiff the right of invoking the rem
edy of injunction. The judgment is al
tirmed.
Justice Garoutte is the author of the opin-
ion, which is concurred in by Justices Har-
rison, Mcfarland and Henshaw.

OF age, but III perfect possession OF his men
tai powers, and, coming from a long lived
family, he hopes to serve out his twelve
years term OF office without breaking down
physically or experiencing special inconven-
lence on account of the duties devolving upon
him.
Rumors ale abroad regarding the successor
OF Judge Van Dyke on the superior court
bench of this county. The judge will mail
his letter OF resignation to Governor Budd
next week and enter upon his new duties on
January ID, the I'd being a holiday as the lst

representative of The Herald IL shall re-
tain my rented home in Los Angeles"
The vacancy to occur in this county will
be filled by appointment by Governor Budd
on receipt of Judge Van Dykes resignation.
Some time ago the Los Angeles county bar
took action in the matter of electing can
didate for Recommendation to the governor
and Judge W. A. Winder was found to be
the choice OF the bar. Other prominent law
yers, among them ID. X. Trask of this city,
were spoken of for the appointment, but
their names were not presented for endorse
ment by the bar. 1t is now said that Mr
Trask will secure the commission. He is an
old friend of Governor Budd, having form
erly been in the practice of law at Stockton
when the governor was practicing attorney
there. The friendship of those days, it is
said, causes the governor to incline toward
Mr., Trask in the matter of the appointment
The dignity Of the position prec!udes the
idea OF real contest for preierment and
those who know the broad legal artainments
of both gentlemen Will feel that the county
will be well served whether by Mr.. Trask or
by Judge Winder.
