BENJAMIN EVANS CONVICTED
It Took the Jury but Ten Minutes to
Decide

Benjamin Evans. the aged and sancti-
monious shoplifter. was convicted Of petty
larceny last night and will be sentenced
next Tuesday at II a. m.
Evans was tried on a charge of stealing
couple Of trays from crockery store.
The case occupied several days in Justice
Morrison's court. An attempt was made by
the defense to try to prove the good char
acter of the prisoner, as was done in the
previous trial, but apparently the testimony
did not have great deal Of weight with
the jury. Detective Auble succeeded in dig
cling up some witnesses in Pasadena who
knew Evans record in La Grande, Iowa,
twenty years ago. A. Mr. Benedict, James
Pierson and M. D. Painter, the proprietor
of the Painter hotel. were the new wit.
nesses. Benedict conducted store and the
other men worked for him. Evans repre-
scented that he desired to purchase tho
store, and by this means succeeded in get
ting access to the place, which would not
otherwise have been given him. He was
accused by the witnesses of getting away
with some goods, just as he Is now charged,
and their suspicious were also aroused by
o $40 bill suddenly disappearing from the
cash drawer and then as suddenly reap
pearing, crumpled as If taken hastily out
of somebody's pocket, after Evans had been
suspected by them.
The arguments were concluded last night
shortly after o'clock, and at 9:35 the jurors
retired. After three ballots, they returned
In ten minutes and announced that they
had found Evans guilty.

Beef Tea for Invalids

A most nutritious beef broth that may be

pounds of solid beef from the shoulder OF

bloody portions removed, add three pounds
of bones from the same part Of the beef and
four quarts Of cold water. Put in jar and
cook from eight to twelve hours in a slow
oven. Strain through colander and add
