TRIED FOR PETTY LARCENY
Case Against Daniel Mckay Begun
Yesterday

Daniel Mckay was before Justice Morri-
son yesterday for trial on the charge of
petty larceny. The defendant was repre-
sented by Major Horace Bell, while Deputy
District Attorney Chambers conducted the
prosecution. The case has attracted much
attention, for two different charges were
brought against Mckay, as the result of his
arrest. The detectives followed him for
several evenings, in the hope of catching
him stealing some lumber from buildings
being erected by S. X. Lindley. They took
Mckay into custody, and in order to hold
him for trial on the charge of petty larceny,
filed complaint charging him with cruelty
to animals, as the horse which drew his
buggy around the city was in very bony
condition. Mckay was convicted at his
trial on the charge of cruelty, but subse-
quently the superior court acquitted him,
on an appeal. The original petty larceny
complaint was discovered to have been de-
fective, so it was dismissed and new one
filed, and he is being tried on this.
1t is charged against Mckay that on the
night of August 18th he stole two pieces
of stepping about six feet in length, the
property of Mr.. Lindley, the value of the
Dcllk do pS. u 1ldSllISS,
the foreman who had been in charge of the
house, took the stand and identified the
lumber, which was taken from Mckay and
produced in court, as that which had been
at the Lindley house. In further corro-
boration, the other piece of stepping" ma
tcrial from which Mckay is alleged to have
sawed the six-foot piece, was also produced
in court, and was fitted to the alleged
stolen piece. The two tailed exactly, as
there was weather stain through the grain
of the wood, and the course of this stain
in the longer piece fitted onto the stain in
the smaller piece found in the possession of
Mckay. Detective Auble testified to hav-
ing followed Mckay the night of the alleged
theft, and to first having seen that no lum-
Der was in the buggy when Mckay left his
house. Mckay had gone to the Lindley
house, the witness said, and later the de-
tectives had stopped him and found the
piece of stepping" in his buggy.
Several other witnesses were examined
for the prosecution, and late in the after
noon the defendant took the stand. He de-
MED having stolen the lumber and showed
receipt from the Ganahl Lumber COM
pany for various pieces of lumber, which
had been purchased some time ago. The
defendant said that he had bought this lum-
Der in long pieces and had sawed off sections
as he desired. When the detectives placed
him under arrest he was driving from Ga
bells tailor shop, where ne had been en-
gagged in making some repairs in drop
ceiling, and was taking the extra lumber
home. Mrs. Mckay took the stand and
corroborated the testimony of her husband,
regarding the purchase of the material The
case was continued until Saturday at 10
a. m.

Corporal James Rogers, who smashed
Chef Melsted's nose on Sunday, is still in
the guard house. 1t was at first thought
that he would have to stand court-martal,
but it is now the intention to turn him over
to the civil authorities on demand. He
WILL however, have to suffer dishonorable
discharge from the army inladhition to what
civil justice may nhict upon him.
Prompted by the conduct of some of the
lower element in camp, military discipline
has been vigorously enforced the last two
days. Many leaves of absence have been
revoked and the "hoboes" who form a
very small percentage of the regiment have
been put on good behavior. Company and
battalion drills were held yesterday, an in

it on this principle: "What would do for
that school if my boy were there?" DR..
Lindley also spoke especially of the military
training, and said that there were now in
Manila and Cuba at least fifty Of the boys
who had received their military training at
Whittier.
He was followed by Hon. L. D. Works
of San Diego in brief speech and song en-
titled Enjoy Yourselves" lie responded
to the vociferous applause that followed
with sentimental ballad. Senator Jones,
Hon. A. S. Melice and H. E. Wright fol-
lowed in brief remarks, assuring the school
of their support.
Hon. o. H. Huber then made one of the
best talks Of the evening. The Whittier state
school is in Mr.. Huber's assembly district,
and he takes especial interest in it. He told
the boys how lie started out as an orphan
child at II years OF age and had been obliged
from that time on to make his own way as
mechanic. Hon. w. S. Melick, the only
editor in the crowd, then made a humorous
talk, in which he referred to Mr.. Works as
the Jenny Lind" of San Diego. The only
Democrat in the delegation was Hon. Will
liam Mead, vino urged the boys to have
| high aim in life, and assured them that there
was success in store for each one of them
| who would show the right spirit. The speak
ing closed with a few remarks and a good
story by Gen. Forman.
Tuesday morning the bakery, kitchen, sup
ply and trades departments were inspected
and the various needs of the institution
pointed out for future reference. The girls
school was then visited, where the inmates
were all busy in their various lines of work.
The party arrived in Los Angeles at noon
and took the 4:S0 p. IN. train for Highlands.

An "ObstructiYev Hackman

The attention of Judge Owens and a
jury was yesterday occupied with the tlial
of Ed Kip, a hack driver, who had beer
charged with obstructing the street at the
Arcade depot by standing his carriage and
horses close to the depot to solicit patron
age. Officer Cox ordered Kip to move
away, as the hacl:man was within the limit
prescribed by the ordinance. Kip refused
to go. 1t was shown that his carriage had
been located close to the electric cars, and
made it almost impossible for people to
reach these conveyances from the side on
which he was standing. Kip and several
hackmen testified that he had not cb-
structed traffic, but the jury returned yer

relation existed between Mrs. Ball and MIR.
V0ss.
Mrs. Rosa Sherman swore next that she
became acquainted with the deceased Mr..
V0ss about year ago in this city, having
room in his house. While there Voss had
told her his doctor had warned him that
he was not long for this life and to arrange
his property in preparation for death. The
old man had expressed anxiety to her be-
cause OF his impending fate and asked her,
as she was a Christian woman, to pray for
him.
During that conversation Voss had told
her that he had been married twice, but had
only the little girl Pearl, no other children
having been born to his second wife and his
first wife having been chidless. In that
connection he told Mrs. ShermaLp about TAX
ing Lizzie when years old from Jewish
family and of the trouble she had occasioned
him and his first wife by her wayward-
ness.
Noss said he did not intend to leave her
any share of his estate nor did he intend
that she should cross his threshold while he
was alive or after he was dead. In explana-
ton of his aversion, he had told about Liz
zie's divorce from Ball. Regarding her
prior divorce from Walter Clancy, he had
said it was strange that divorces could be
had now for $25, while it cost him $3.50 to get
one for Lizzie when she returned to him
from her first husband.
On cross-examination this witness said
she was nurse and cook by occupation and
had lived in this city for six years.
In the afternoon numerous witnesses testi-
fled to having held conversations with Fred
erck Voss, the dead man, in which he had
denied blood relationship with Mrs. Lauter.

away with Walter Clancy and other acts of
which he disapproved. The volume OF testi-
mony, though very great for Mrs. Lauter-
bach, bids fair to be outweaighed by that

CLOSED UP.
Adriatic Mills Shut Down
for Lack Of Orders.

That dull times are still with US has
again been brought to mind by the
decision of the Worcester wooden mills
to close their plant for q few weeks.
The concern, which is a state corpora
ton, with a capital of 100000, has had
a fiourishing existence, but, owing to
the over stocked market and the slow
demand made for wooden goods, has
been obliged to close it's departments
for a short time. The Adriatic mills
which have national reputation, are
situated on Southgate street, and give
employment in their various depart
ments to more than 100 girls and men.
In spite of the financial stringency Of
the times, the plant has been kept in
operation steadily until the first of the
week, when notice was posted that the
mills would be closed until Jan. l.
Eli D. Thayer, Jr., president of the
corporation, was seen at his residence,
last evening, and in explanation of the
shutdown said briefly that the reason
was that there is no business. When
asked about the period Of the shut
down, he said that the mill had been
formally closed until Jan. /, but he did
not know for how many weeks the
Adriatic mill might be shut down.

ED. N. HAYWARD
Killed While Trimming Arc
Light.

Another sad accident occurred yes
terday morning at the works of the
Holyoke Machine Company. Edward
Morse Hayward, a lamp trimmer in
the employ of the Worcester Electric
Light Company, met his death while
trying to trim an arc light. He was
standing on the ground and took hold
of the lamp with both hands, receiving
the full force of very heavy current.
Hayward supposed that the current
was shut off from the lamp, and he
was about to do the trimming, as he
has done for a number of years, But
the dead wire was very much alive, and
