Why the Officers Are After William
Moar-A Shady Mining Transac-
ton Results in an Arrest

| When the case against ]. B. Hoffman
argument on motion for a new trial, was
called in Department one yesterday morn
Ing the defendants attorneys exhausted
every possible ground reached by their mo-
ton, but 1t was overruled by Judge Smith.
A motion for arrest of sentence was
made and argued, but that also was over
ruled. The court then asked Il defendant
could pay a fine, and his attorneys stated
that their client was poor man, his crops
for this season were failure, and the cri-
hope of his raising money to pay Il fine was
by aid of his mother-in-law. who was will
ing provided she had the means at hand.
or this latter fact counsel was not certain.
Mr.. Williams. representing the p1osecu-
ton, stated that to his mind, perhaps, the
prisoner was due some c-eGl; for having
exposed the possible fact that any house In
this city was selling diseased m eat, ard that
he, himself, had been unable to touch meat
of any kind since the exposures made In
the Hoffman trial. The court did not con-
cur in the prosecutions opinion, and lIotf-
man was ordered to stand up for sentence,
and asked what, If anything. he had to say
for himself. He replied that re was a very
poor man, and had wife and three chill
|
that he should have thought of that before
he acted. His crime was most dastardly
one. most dangerous to the peace of tho
community. and evidently made from the
lowest motives of cupidity and pusillanim-
ity. Judge Smith then sentenced Hoffman to
pay fine of 5000 or serve 100 days in the
county Jail. Motion for stay of execution
until O'Clock for filing Of appeal and to
allow defendant chance to raise the fine
was allowed.
The charge for which Hoffman was tried
and found guilty is pretty thoroughly
known. On March 4th last he attempted to
extort money from Simon Maer, the whole
sale and retail butcher, on threats of arrest
of the latter for having sold diseased meat.
Maier was too shrewd for Hoffman, and at
the same time that the money, $500, was
paid over, the culprit was arrested for ex-
tortion.

Troublesome Placers

Some days ago an injunction was issued
from Department six of the superior court
restraining the placer miners in the San
Gabriel canyon from using water for placer
mining purposes. The injunction was Is
sued at the instance of the San Gabriel
Water company, and created quite stir
among the miners in the canyon. The In
junction will be fought by them, as 1t Is
only temporary, and they have a chance to
argue it before the court. Some of the
Mexicans interested in the mines have
threatened to make a hot fight against any
ones attempting to turn off their water.
while others, Anne ricans, have submitted
quietly to the rulings of the court. Pros
poets promise considerable difficulty before
the matter Is settled.
