WEBER LAUGHS
At INDICTMENT
Grand Jury Returns a True
Bill Accusing Him of the
Robbery of County Bank

Is Much More Easy Than
Proving the Truth of 1t
Special Dispatch to Tn. Call

AUBURN, Dec. 10.-The Grand Jury
to-day brought IN an Indictment charg-
Ing AdOlph Weber with the robbery OF
the Placer County Bank on May 26
last The amount stolen was S63s5, of
which S5500 was found by the officers
IN the Weber barn shortly after the
murder Of the family. Young Weber
has been held 10 answer for the kill
ing OF his mother and the date for
that trial will be set next Monday. He
has also an Indictment hanging ever
him for the killing of his father. If
he escapes conviction on these charges

OF his sister and little brother.
The contest over the administrator
ship of the Weber estate will be heard
next Monday. Public Administrator
Shepard. who is acting as special ad-
ministratOr, is opposed by John Ad-
ans, Weber's guardian.
Among the minor indictments
brought in to-day by the Grand Jury
was one for perjury against c. H.
Heinrich, who, IL is alleged, certified
falsely about some land at Roseville
during a lawsuit with his wife Helm
rich shortly after the Weber murders
stated that he heard a man in San
Francisco say that young Weber did
not commit the crime, but that he
knew who did. The officers. knowing
Heinrichs' standing as 10 veracity, paid
little attention 10 this statement.
Weber spent very quiet day. No
one saw him but Jailer Fulton. To him
Weber said he was feeling fine and
only wished he could get outside for
an hour and take one Of his constitu-
tionals. When informed that the Grand
Jury had brought in an indictment
against him for robbery, he laugh
ingly said: Il expected it. as troubles
never come singly. But the next thing
will be 10 prove the charge"
Weber has gained flesh since his in
generation in Jail. and beyond a lit
tie paleness looks we'll His only trOu-
bic, he says is his stomach.
