gate to the National Association, by a vote Of

Story of the Relations Between Com

Led Up to the Arrest of
the Extortionists.
A NEW TRIAL IS DEMANDED
MOTION WILL BE ARGUED NEXT
SATURDAY.

For their crime Of demanding ''hush
money from Captain w. e. Nevills, Mrs.
Elsie Williams and Myron AZhderian
must go to the penitentiary. Such is the
verdict of the jury after a elaboration of
almost eighteen hours. Mrs. Grace Loose,
sister of the convicted extortionist, was
declared innocent of the charge against
her and by order of court she was dis
charged, while Mrs. Williams was recon-
mended to the courts mercy. When the
verdict was announced surprise rather
than grief was manifest on Mrs Will
liams face, while AZhderian remained
mute and sullen. Mrs. Loose did not APP
pear happy over the fact of her acquittal
She busted herself comforting her sister,
and perhaps her heart was too bitter for
happiness to find place there when she
recalled to mind the story of her sisters
downfall and how circumstances, if not
desire, had led her to felons cell.
The story is a simple one. Nevills met
Mrs. Williams when she was making an
of a typewriter. She was young and
handsome and Nevills soon took her from
her busy life and installed her In a cot
tage, where he was q frequent visitor.
She had clothes and money given her
and, If her story given on the stand is
true, her conscience was fortified against
the sinful life she was leading by prom
Use, made by Nevills that he would marry
her.
E1nally she went TO nVe on NeV1llS'
Fresno vineyard and here her troubles
commenced. She formed the acquaint-
ance of Azhderian, and after Nevills had
decided to break off the relations that
had long existed between Mrs. Williams
and himself, Azhderian became a willing.
ally, in fact the leader, in a conspiracy to
bleed the aged capitalist.
After a time they succeeded in getting
$1,000 out of Nevills, but they wanted
more. Nevills refused to comply with
their demands. They. were obdurate and
with certain alleged discriminating letters
forced NevillS into corner. His patience
became exhausted and with no thought
of the inevitable expose he had his perse-
cutorS arrested.
The trial was long and bitter. Special
counsel were employed and every point
for and against the accused was taken
advantage of. Friday night the case was
submitted to the jury. The hours passed
and as 1t could not reach an agreement
was ordered locked up for the night. Yes
terday morning 1t handed in its verdict
and after it had been read Judge Cook
announced that he would pass sentence
Saturday, December 8. On that date a
motion for a new trial will be argued and
in event it is granted the prisoners will
be released on bail; If not sentence will
be passed and they will go to prison to
await the action of the Supreme Court or
serve their sentence, as they see fit.
