WICKED CUSTOMERS
WHO WANTED TO ROB OR DO
WORSE
TRAMPS WITH GUNS GALORE
Tney BoId1y Deny Their Attack Upon
Woman Who Positively Iden-
tiles One Of the Footpads

Two young men, who gave the names OF
Dan McCarty and Herbert Wright were
arrested at the Chapman ranch, near san
Gabriel. on October End on a charge or
having assaulted Mrs. Rachel j. Crank
at South Pasadena with intent to commit
robbery. At the time OF their arrest three
rovoIvers, all of different sizes, were found
bv the constable under the bed occupied by
the prisoners.
The facts as testified to by Mrs. Crank
st the preliminary examination before
Township Justice Young yesterday were
that on the evening of October 1st McCarty
and Wright, the first of whom the witness
identified perfectly. stopped her on the
road while she was driving home In her rig
In company with her little son. McCarty
stopped the horse and pulled out small
nickel-plated revolver, and after asking
Mrs. Crank where her husband was. pre-
sented 1t at her face with the words: DO
you see this?' The little boy had made
his escape. In trying to push away the
revolver with her whip the witness gave
the horse a cut. The animal ran away at
least four blocks, when he was stopped by
some Of the people who had been attracted
by Mrs. Crank's yells. The witness was
unable to identify Wright, although she
was positive that there was another man
besides McCarty engaged In the hold-up.
Both Of the prisoners and another man
named Pearson beat their way from Ari-
zona over the Southern Pacific few days
before their arrest. They claim to have
worked there. They do not look like
typical hobos, although their appearance
is not prepossessing. While the testimony
did not show positively that they contem-
plated robbing Mrs. Crank Of her money.
they either intended that or a more afro
cious crime. Their strenuous denials that
they were the men who attacked Mrs.
Crank were of no avail and Justice of the
Peace Young continued the case until to-
morrow for further evidence.

MINIATURE CONFIDENCE GAME
Why German Laborer Got Into
Street Fight

Two Germans, who gave their names as
Frank Lanteren and E. Nelson, were gath
cred in by Officer Wells yesterday at the
corner of Sixth street and Central avenue,
and were booked for disturbing the peace.
When first discovered by the officer Nell
son, much to his annoyance was in the
arms of Lanteren, who was exclaiming in
no quiet manner "Give me my money
back! Nelson refused to explain, so both
We're sent in to the station.
Before Justice Owens later In the day it
developed that Lanteren had been the VIC
tim of a confidence game. He testified
that he met Nelson at the Free Labor bu-
reau about a week ago, that Nelson had
come to him and said that he could get
him a job in brick yard if he O.anteren)
would advance 81. The latter was in need
of work, so accepted the Offer and the
money was paid over, but Lanteren did
not received the promised job, as Nell
after pocketing the money, changed his
stamping ground to other quarters.
The fact that he had been cheated
weighed heavily on Lanteren's mind, and
he decided that If he ever ran across Mel
son again he would get the money back or
know the reason why. Yesterday a
chance meeting occurred, with the above
result.
Justice Owens said he thought the mode
of collecting a debt a rather novel one, but,
nevertheless, he discharged Lanteren and
fined Nelson $40.

A DOCTORS CAPPER
DR.. Roth and Mr.. Walker Could Not
Agree Upon a Verbal Contract

Township Justice Young yesterday tried
the suit of George E. Walker against DIR.
Jules F. Roth. The plaintiff claimed s75
from the physician in consideration of
having procured one Nancy A. Gilbert as
a patient for the defendant. He alleged
that the doctor had promised him that
amount as soon as the first treatment was
given to the patient. Mrs. Gilbert died In
the month of May, and then Walker asked
for his commission but he failed to get it.
The defendant said on the stand that
Walker had come to him for the purpose of
ascertaining what there would be in 1t for
him If he procured him patients. Roth
replied that he would give Walker SIS out
of the first moneys received from the pa
tients, and thereafter Mrs. Nancy A. Gill
bert was made acquainted with Roth by
Walker, and she became the formers pa
ttent. Unfortunately for the runner she
died before the doctor had received any
money. and as he was under the deceased's 9
will appointed her executor and made resi-
duary legatee, the testament was i'm
mediately contested by the heirs, and as a
consequence he has not yet received any of
his fees or legacies.
An effort was made by the plaintiffs at
torney to show that if the doctor had been
more intent in obtaining his fees instead

In the old lady's will. he would long ago
have been able to compensate Walker out
of the first money, which the old lady
would have given him if he had presented
bill at the proper time. This DIR. Roth

Gilbert called for $3.50 for complete treat
