Found Dead in n Stall.

Last Wednesday Mike Blue, aged
about SO years was found dead 10 q
horses stall on the farm of Geo. Shrine
near Bremen. Mike Blue had made
his home with Mr.. and Mrs. Shrine for
years. He was a steady worker. On
the day of his death Mr.. and Mrs.
Shine were absent from the farm. Com
ing home in the evening Mr.. Shine pro.
ceeded to the barn 10 attend to the
chores The first extraordinary thing
which attracted attention was one of
the horses tied in an unusual place
Mr.. Shine lit lantern and looked
around. The light fell upon the face
of his dead friend. Several times
he repeated the name of Mr.. Blue,
and receiving no response went close
to him and scrutenized him sharply. 1t
was then he saw to be true what had
presented itself as horrible possibility
when the lantern first beamed upon the
corpse. The funeral was held on Fri
day.
Deceased had not complained of any
thing immediately preceding his desth
except the hesrt.burn. He was, how
ever, doctoring for an ailment of long
standing and persisted in taking large
quantities of medicine. 1t is thought
that he literally committed suicide by
disregarding his physicians instructions
and swallowing large quantities of the
preparation.

been published heretofore, being tele-
graphed from San Francisco some days ago.
The decision is by Commissioner Chapman
and concurred in by Commissioners Haynes
ard Belcher, on whose recommendation JUS
tices Harrison, Garroutte and Van Fleet
reversed the Judgment of the Los Angeles
superior court with directions to dismiss the
action.
The local tribunal overruled demurrer
to the complaint in an action to recover
certain taxes paid by the Southern Pacific
Railroad company upon reassessment by the
state board of equalization for the years
1886 and 1887, paid by that company to the
state treasurer and by him to defendant

1t is held that in the present instance the

HUGHES DIsBARMENT
Must First Be Prosecuted for Larceny
or Burglary

H. j. Hughes came before Judge Van
Dyke yesterday IN response to a citation to
show case why he should not be disbarred
from the practice of law on account OF unpro-
feSsional conduct. Deputy District Attorney
Willis appeared for L. W. Alexander, the
applicant, and Mr.. Hughes was defended by
L. c. Whitney.
A motion was made by defendant for the
dismissal of the application, three reasons
being given therefor; first that the accusa-
ton did not state facts sufficient to consti-
tute cause for disbarment or suspension: sec
ond that the accusation was not verified as
required by law; third. that the purported
verifcaton was insufficient. in that the
same was merely alleged matters not within
the knowledge of petitioner but merely upon
information and belief, such verifcation not
being such as is required by the state law.
The matter was argued both by Mr.. Willis
and Mr.. Whitney, and the court held that if
such a state of facts exists as is claimed by
the application, Hughes should be prosecuted
for burglary or larceny, being entitled to a
Jury trial. If convicted either of misde-
meanor or felony, that fact alone would
he sufficient upon which to base an applica-
ton for his disbarment
ty of anything he was guilty of a crime, or a
far more serious ofiense than mere unprofes-
sional conduct. and advised his criminal
prosecution The motion to strike the ap
plication from the files was granted. the
proceedings for disbarment being regarded as
improper on such grounds without convic-
tion for such offense.
Mr.. Willis is authority for the statement
that a complaint will now be sworn out
by Alexander in the Justices court. charg-
ing Hughes with the more serious offense, it
being the determination to sft the matter
thoroughly.
HUGHES is the lawyer who is alleged to
have gone with Sam Sweitzer to Redondo by
niaht to remove goods and money from the
Unique saloon. which were the property OF
Alexander under and by virtue of a bill of
sale executed that day or evening. in the
settlement of the partnership existing be-
tween Alexander and Sweitzer. After serv-

CHARGED WITH RAPE
Man Arrested for Alleged Abuse Of
His Stepdaughter

Ed Thomas was arrested near the Soldiers
home at Santa Monica yesterday by Con-
stable 1onkn on a warrant charging him
with rape. J. W. Hart accused him of this
crime, committed upon the person of Lizzie
Hotchkiss, the step-daughter of Thomas,
and from his account very revolving state
of affairs was presumed to exist.
The little girl who is only IL years old,
told straightforward story to Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Williams, denying that any
thing more serious than undue liberties had
been taken by Thomas. and it appears that
he had been drinking at the time. She said
also that Hart was not on good terms with
Thomas, being incensed because OF his cool
ness when calling at the house of the latter,
and she said that her statement of the al
legged assault made Immediately to her
mother, had been told by her to her aunt
and by her passed along to Hart, with final
eXaggerations well-nigh- approaching those
of the ''Three Black Crows"

HAD A LIFE SENTENCE
Gleason, Sentenced for Murder, Will
Have New Trial

A decision OF the state supreme court was
received yesterday by Deputy Clerk Martin
from San Francisco, in which a new trial is
awarded to T. NJ. Gleason, who was con-
victed of murder in the first degree at Ba-
kersfield for having shot one Cotton and
sentenced to states prison for life.
In its instructions to the jury the court
gave the following instruction at the re-
quest of the prosecution: You are in
structed that the people are not permitted
to assail the character of defendant on
trial in a criminal case until the defendant
has himself put his character in issue by
calling witnesses and offering evidence in
its support; and, unless put in issue by the
defendant, the people can in no way attack
his character
The object of the prosecution in asking
this instruction the court is unable to dis
Germ but the evident effect is construed to
be to suggest to the jury that the prosecu-
ton, if it had an opportunity, might possi-
bly, have shown that the defendant was not
a man of good character, and to excuse their
failure to make such showing upon the
ground that he had not offered evidence
in support of his character.
This is held to have been in violation Of
defendants rights, although correct rule
of law The rule is for the guidance of the
court in determining the admissibility of
evidence and not for the guidance of jury
in determining the effect of evidence which
has been admitted for their determination.
Other objections were made by Gleason s
attorneys on appeal, but on account of the
instruction, improperly given, a new trial
is ordered.
Opinion is by Justice Harrison, Justices

REAL ESTATE MEN SUED
Owners of a Subdivision Want the
Balance Due

Suit was brought by Thomas and Caro-
line Leahy yesterday against Easton, Ed
ridge & Co. for $22j4 II and per cent inter
e. thereon since September I, 1897, and for
costs of suit.
In their complaint plaintiffs set forth an
agreement mutually entered into by them
selves and defendants for the plating and
sale of lots in the Eghth-street tract in this
city. BY its terms the defendant company
was to advance not more than Sl200 for pre-
lminary expenses of mapping, advertising
and exhibiting the property, which sum was
to be repaid out of the first receipts from
sales
In return for its services as agents, the
defendant company was to receive ) per
cent on the gross sales and one-third of all
sums OF money received for lots in excess
of the minimum price of 5000 for each lot
Terms of sale, as distinctly provided for in
the contract, are mentioned in the complaint
as are also Endorsements on such agreements
extending the time for specific performance
OF its terms and reducing the minimum price
OF lots to $50.
The amount sued Tor is in the nature Of
balance due, under the terms of the con-
tract, but serious allegations are made
against uefenUdlltS IN connection with the
handling OF the property. Plaintiffs allege
that the defendant company has repeatedly
attempted 10 settle for lots at prices much
less than the prices at which sales have
been closed. and various instances are cited
in which different amounts have been re
ported at different times as the prices for
which individual lots have been sold. a
mortgage back in one instance being taken
for $3.50, when the total amount of the sale
had been renorted as 1915.
1t is further alleged that discounts, in
Some cases ranging from 50 to GO per cent.
allowed by those doing street work and per
forming other services have been cnioved by
defendants, who have nevertheless charged
the full amount of the bill AGAINST the prop
erty. These charges are characterized as
unscrupulous and a fraud on plaintiffs. who
claim their proportionate share of all dis
counts.
Reference is made to A. IT, Ouatman. who

TWO FOR THE ASYLUM
Negro Crazy on Religion, White Boy
for Drunkenness

Mrs. Sarah Wesley, colored woman, who
is under the influence of Minerva Williams,
the negro voodoo priestess, was examined as
to her sanity yesterday and ordered by Judge
Allen to be committed to the Highland asy-
lum. The woman is 80 years old and is com
pletely daft on religion, imagining that she is
the wife of Christ and that she has seen
both the Savior and the devil, with whom
she has held conversation. Messages from
God direct the colored woman fancies she
has received, ordering her to save the world.
She obeys the priestess implicitly and an
noys people persistently with her deusons.

THE FARCE ENDED
Ricardo Machado Released From Jail
Yesterday

Ricardo Machado, the little Mexican boy
who was charged with the murder OF Eddie
Schmitt at San Pedro, Sept. 10th, was re-
leased yesterday. Deputy District Attorney
McComas stated to Judge Smith that the
jury at the preceding trial had stood TO
in favor of the acquittal OF the boy on
Che first ballot, and he saw no reason for
expecting that conviction could be had
on the evidence obtainable. He therefore
moved that the information be dismissed.
The court granted the motion and the hit
tie fellow was ordered to be discharged. lie
is now with his mother and little brothers
at San Pedro.
In connection with this case, it may be
stated that the jury at Ricardo's trial final
ly stood IL for acquittal, only one old stager
hanging out for the conviction OF the boy
OF manslaughter. Even he might have given
consent to an acquittal had the jury been
kept out a little longer, but after some two
hours deliberation the jury was discharged.
Ii was such simple case that it seemed
ridiculous to hesitate SO long over verdict,
and so the jury was excused

Luther c. Russell, public administrator OF
that county, and letters OF administration
with the will annexed were issued to him.
From such Judgment the executrix who had
been removed appealed, basing her appeal
on the judgment roll alone.
Her removal was due to the fact that
she was resident of Rochester, n. v, at
the time she was appointed executrix and
returned and resided continuously there af
ter the issuance of letters to her, not sub
mitting herself to the jurisdiction OF the
court or personally conducting the affairs
of the estate; furthermore she never filed
an account of her administration except
an account filed after application for her
removal had been made.
The court holds that the trial court had
the power to revoke the letters and that
the findings justify its exercise, the stat
utes forbidding the appointment OF non
resident as administrator.
The decision is by the commissioner and
ndorsed by Justices Henshaw, Temple and
