Cause

The demurrer to the complaint in the suit
of William II. Gibbs VS.. Mary A. Tally and

POLICE "SMALL BOOK
IT WAS EXPENSIVE TO CHIEF OF
POLICE CUDDY
Damages Recovered From Predecessor
of Chief Glass for False Imprison-
ment of Citizen

Several days ago Chief Glass, in the
course Of an extended interview and elab-
crate defense of the nefartous "small-book''
system, took occasion to state that no one
who had been imprisoned without due
process Of law had ever recovered dam
ages In this he is mistaken, as his prede-
cessor, Thomas ]. Cuddy. can testify.
James G. Evans Of this city. manager Of
a mining company. was the victim of such
an unlawful Incarceration, and he recov-
cred damages in the superior court.
In 1883 Mr.. Evans was in the real estate
business at the corner of Second and Main
streets, and befr:ended young Italian. The
Italian appeared grateful and soon after
told Evans that there was a party of Ital-
ians coming here from Pennsylvania who
desired 10 obtain house to live in, and he
would try TO induce them TO purchase from
Evans. He introduced two Italians, who
could speak but imperfect English. The
next day the Italians returned and asked
Evans for their railroad tickets. Evans
knew nothing of any railroad tickets, and
he could not imagine what the men meant
About o'clock In the afternoon he was
waited upon by a policeman, who requested
him to call on Chief of Police Cuddy and
explain the matter Of the railroad ticke s
and his connection with the Italians Evans
went 20 the station and there saw Cuddy
and several other officers and the two Ital-
ians. 1t appears that the young Italian
who had introduced the men to Evans, un-
der the representation hat they were to
buy properly, had in reality collected the
money from them for transportation east.
and represented to them that they were 20
get the tickets from Evans, who knew
nothing of the swindle.
Cuddy questioned Evans and finally
locked him up and kept him in Jail ntl II
o'clock the next morning. but MOI until he
had informed Evans hat he would be re-
leased under $500 bond. The complaint was
not filed until late In the day, f.er It had
been refused by one of the deputy district
attorneys. Evans was promptly given his
liberty, however, by It's dismissal
He instituted suit against Cuddy for $1,000
damages for false Imprisonment. the case
being tried before Judge O'Melveny and
Jury in the superior court: A verdict
awarding Evans 500 damages was re-
turned.
