CoBURN'S TRIAL.
Testimony shows His Peculiar Meth
cd of Conducting Business.

cd of Conducting Business.
The trial OF Frederick S. Coburn, who
is charged with violating the United
States postal laws, was resumed this
morning In Criminal Court, No. 2. JUS
tice Bradley presiding. In the absence
of Assistant Attorney Shillington
who was engaged in Criminal Court, No.
l. the prosecution was conducted by
John E Laskey.
G. NJ. Hunt, clerk in the money or
der department of the city postoffice, who
hours yesterday, was recalled this morn
ing. His testimony today was in ref
erence to the operations of the defendant
in the conduct of the business of sub
station No. q, at the corner of New
York Avenue and Ninth Street north
west. on July 20, q and %, 1891. The
evidence disclosed the peculiar manner
In which the defendant, Coburn, con-
Quoted the business of the office.
1t showed that on July 20 he issued
three money orders Nos. 2S32. 1888. 2s34
for amounts aggregating sl22. while the
letter of transmittal to the city postoffice
acknowledged having received only so
for money orders; the stubs, however,
SHoWeu tHdl ordeTS hau oeen issued on
No. 2S32 for sl2, No. 2s33 for 800 and on
No. 1884 for so. In the report. however,
no entry OF the issue OF the order for
500 is made. The accounts for July q
also showed a peculiar and to all ap-
pearances an unexplainable condition of
affairs and unusual business methods. On
that day the stubs show that two money
orders were issued, one No 2S35 for $40
and the other 2S36 for .S5; the letter of
transmittal to Postmaster Willetts, how
ever, contained Sl35 as representing the
amount of business for that date
1t was also shown that the money or
ders issued on July % were upon forms
far ahead in number to those in issue on
that date, as is proven by the stubs of
orders issued July q and %.

A Full Vote

RIVERSIDE, Nov. 9.-The election is
over, and there are good many disap-
pointed people in this city and county. The
result of the local fight was far from what
was expected, and now the defeated candi-
dates are wondering just how it happened
that they got left. The returns are not all
in from the country districts as yet, and
some of them will not reach the city prob
ably for couple of days, but enough figures
have been received to show that the Repub-
lican ticket has a majority in the county
ranging from 600 for Gage down to half that
number for some of the lesser candidates
on the ticket. Gage ran ahead OF his ticket
somewhat. j. e. Needham, for congress,
received majority of over 700, he even
carrying precincts where the vote went for
Mcguire.
A. s. Milice, the Republican candidate
for assemblyman, had walk-over, for he
defeated his opponent, Mr.. Myers, about
two to one.
The county ticket as elected is as follows:
A. S. Nlilice, Republican, assemblyman;
i. NJ. Coburn, Republican, sheriff; w. F.
Montague Republican, assessor; w. W.
-"'' Republican. clerk; d. G. Mitchell
Republican, treasurer; w. B. Clancy, Re-
10 s.ess.A, 'es.eitoi tstdi dIlntI, IcDuDll-
can, tax collector, Lyman Evans, Repub-
can, district attorney; +. H. Gruwell, Re-
publican, recorder; A. w. Bowman, Repub-
lican, public administrator; Edw Hyatt,
Democrat, superintendent of schools; Dr..
A. s., Parker, Democrat, coroner; George
Pearson, Republican, surveyor. Super
visors: E. Lille, Democrat, First district;
DIR. Craven, Republican, Second district;
A. I. Kimball, Democrat, Fourth district;
John Shaver, Democrat, Fifth district. The
vote in the case of the office of coroner is
very close, and it may be that later returns
will elect Mr.. Dickson, the Republican
nominee, but it is not probable that such
will be the case. The vote throughout the
county was heavy; in fact, fully 05 per cent
of the registered vote was brought out The
fusion managers account for the victory of
the Republican party largely on the ground
that there has been large registration of

SANTA ANA, Nov. 9.-The all absorb
ing topic of the city today is the result of
Yesterdays election. As usual it was a
complete surprise. No election since the
county division fight has excited more in
terest.
Two years ago Mckinley carried the
county by 227 majority against the united
forces of fusion. This year found the Demo

The election was very quiet and orderly
all over the county.
The result is the Democrats have
elected as net result of the tidal wave the
following offices: Sheriff, Theodore Lacy
over Joe Nichols, the present incumbent;
j. G. Joplin, treasurer, over Walter Robin
son; Captain S. H. Finley of Company l.,

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.--The latest
returns received from every portion of the
state confirm the earlier reports of "A sweep
ing Republican victory. The plurality fol
Gage is not placed at less than 10000, and
may exceed that figure. Jacob Neif, the
Republican candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor, has everywhere run up with the head
of the ticket, and in some counties has
scored good lead. Curry, for secretary
of state, made poor showing compared
with the other nominees, and has probably
been beaten by Thompson, his Democratic
opponent.
The contest for supreme court justices
was very close, and the Democrats are
now claiming the election of both of the
Fusion nominees, Conley and Van Dyke.
The Republicans however, do not concede
this, and assert that Mcfarland and Van
Fleet have been chosen, although the ma
jority for the latter will not be large. The
complete count may be necessary to deter
mine the result with certainty.
The Republicans have elected the con-
grssmen in every district except the Sec
ond, where DE Vries has been returned by
a good majority.
There is no doubt that the next legisla-
ture will be Republican, and that Repub-
ican United States senator will be chosen
R. Porter Ashe, Democrat, has been elected
to the state senate from this city, defeating
Leon Dennery by twenty votes.
The center of interest in the San Fran
cisco municipal contest has been the fight
for mayor. Charles l.. Patton, the Repub-
lican nominee, although novice in poll
tics, made good showing, but James d.
Phelan, the present incumbent, has been
reelected by substantial majority. As
SCISSOR Siebe will have to retire in favor of
Dr.. Washington Dodge, whose majority
will be large.
Judge Wallace has been beaten for supe
rior judge, and Barclay Henley for district
attorney. The board of supervisors, as well
as about all the other city officials, will be
Republicans.

Some Figures

SANTA ANA, Nov. 9-The Republican
county ticket is elected by unofficial ma
jority ranging from s6 to 1923. except sheriff,
treasurer, tax collector and surveyor. W.
M. Scott has 1923 majority over E. D. Cooke,
fusionist. Lacey, fusionist, is elected
sheriff over Nichols, Republican, by 23O,
and Joplin, fusionist, will be the next
treasurer over Robinson, Republican, by

feats Harris, fusionist, by 767. Vegeley.
