PASADENA, Dec. 2.-(Office of The

Red 675.) n. II. Mitchell, proprietor of Ho-
tel Mitchell, who was arrested a month and
Il half ago on the charge of selling liquor in
violation Of ordinance 900, pleaded guilty
this morning in Judge Rossiter's court and
was fined SIPS. The case has been postponed
a number OF times, owing to the illness of
A. r. Mletcalfe, attorney for Mr.. Mitchell,
and the absence of the prosecuting witness,
Z. ID. Bowman, who disappeared shortly
after he swore out the complaint, and was
not located until few days ago, when he
returned to town and was on hand this morn
ing to testify in the case. But meanwhile
Mr.. Mitchells attorney, Judge r. II. Knight
of Los Angeles, advised him to change his
plea OF mot guilty" to ne of guilty" which
he did. According to Bowman S account, he
kept out OF town because he heard there was
a warrant out for his arrest, and when Mar
ehal Lacey found him at San Gabriel and
disabused his mind in regard to that matter
he consented to return and testify in the
case. Mr.. Mitchell says he was not guilty in
this case and that Bowman was in a quar-
some mood and wanted to "get even" with
him because he would not sell the liquor to
him.
