CAPTAIN SUED
Breach of Promise for Which $50, 900
Is Wanted

Frank j. Captain, an old-time investor
and capitalist of this city, is not, so Miss
Nellie Wallace of San Francisco thinks,
strictly a man of his word. Papers were
filed on Tuesday in the superior court of
San Francisco county, wherein Miss Wal
lace alleges that the faithless capitalist
wooed and won her loving heart ON Christ
mas day, 1897, April 18th of this year being
the date set for the wedding. One day be-
fore the happy event, however, Captain
made some excuse for postponement, and
came back to Los Angeles. While his let.
tiers at first had been of an affectionate and
adorable character, they soon grew cold and
unsympathetic, and finally ceased alto
gether.
Miss Wallace, when seen at the home of
her mother, Mrs. Martha r. Edwards, 800
Post street, San Francisco, stated that she
was Withholding her tickle lovers letters out
Of consideration for his family. She also
said that suit was brought solely to defend
herself, since Captain persistently refused
to answer her letters or to excuse himself
in any way whatever.
Captain is quite well known in real estate
circles here, and is also interested in the
beetsugar industry at Alamitos. Yester-
day he managed to elude those attempting
to obtain an interview with him and was not
seen at any of his numerous rendezvous
during the day.

MARSH PLEADS GUILTY
The Keystone Bank President to Be
Sentenced Tuesday

PHILADELPHIA, Dec 7.-(1ideon w.
Marsh, president of the Keystone National
Bank which failed in March, 1891, was
arragned in the United States District Court
and pleaded guilty to the indictments charg-
ing the misrepresentation of funds OF the
institution and the making of false reports
of the banks condition to the Comptroller of
the Currency. Sentence was deferred
Marsh disappeared in May, 1891, his bail of
900 being forfeited. He returned to the
city November Both last and voluntarily sur
rendered to the Court. VIM. Steele, for
merly cashier of the wrecked Chestnut Street
Bank, was also arraigned today and pleaded
not guilty to an indictment charging him
with aiding and abbeting President VIM. Nj,
Singerly, now deceased, in the misappropria-
ton of funds of the institution
After Marsh had entered his plea of guilty
his counsel asked the courts permission to
present a statement OF his client which
would show mitigating circumstances in con
necton with the commission of acts to which
he had pleaded guilty Counsel informed
The court that this statement would show
that after Mr.. Marsh had assumed the pres
idency of the bank he found that there ex-
listed deficiency in the bank of over a
million dollars. He had no doubt erred in
carrying this deficiency but the load was
too much for the bank to carry and finally
resulted in its failure. Counsel said the de-
PENDANT had never profited one dollar
through the banks losses, and that when
he fled, over seven years ago, he had not

enter the army for the opportunity offered
of going to the Philippine islands. One cor
poral from Company b Of the Seventh was
asked his reasons for re-enlistment and said
that there was nothing else for him to do /;
that the position he had held before enter
ing the service had been filled and he saw
that the coming winter did not offer great
inducements to any man.
One young fellow, when asked his reasons
for again entering the service, confessed
that he had burnt" the hundred dollars he
had received on mastering out and knew Of
no way of securing work; besides, lots of
us have got the taste for the service in our
blood and would rather serve the govern
ment than anybody else" Some of those

and three hundred of the Seventh regiment
would enlist TO go to Manila or Honolulu.
