any, value, nevertheless Dawson plead
ed guilty" to the charge of petty lar

the Group he started on tour around

says, and in waking moments he
amused himself by writing anonymous
letters to his wife, which she was un-
able to explain.
Mrs. Richardson said her husband
knocked her down and threatened to
choke her.
Mrs. Richardson's mother, it is said,
admonlshed her son-in-law for his un-
becoming behavior. What Mrs. Rich
ardson's mother said to the young man
may never be known, for so impressed
was Richardson with the words that
he mounted his bycicle for an extend
ed tour of the world.
The divorce was granted.

moter with rooms at the Ohio lodging
house, had left his hotel without leav-

tised in the papers for money, Offering
ten per cent interest a week and an
nouncing that the money was to be
played on tips at the race
track with big dividends for the inves-
tors.

BLIND MAN BUYS LODGING
HOUSE; GETS PIG IN POKE
A. j. Preston Sues Former Owner of
the LindIey for Two Thou
sand Dollars

Alleging that by reason of defec-
ton in his eyesight he was forced to
purchase. figuratively speaking, a pig
in a poke, A. j. Preston filed suit in
the superior court yesterday against
w. s. Creager for damages in the sum
of $200O the sum alleged to have been
paid for the furnishings in the Hotel
Lindley on West Sixth street.
For many years Preston has been a
resident of Arizona. but owing to par
tial blindness he was induced to come
to Los Angeles for treatment.
The lodging house business was sug-
gested to Preston by a jealous friend
and III due time he visited w. B.
Creager who formerly conducted the
Hotel Lindley.
The plaintiff says Creager informed
him that many of the rooms were occu-
pied by physicians and surgeons, and
that the house was generally filled with
dodgers, and therefore on firm finan-
cial basis.
He says that as they passed through
the nails Creager would say, the occu-
pant of this room is employed through
the day time and cannot be disturbed"
and then they would pass on.
On the representations alleged to
have been made Preston says that he
paid the defendant $1,000 in cash; gave
defendant a chattel mortgage for $500
and in payment of the balance agreed
to assume an outstanding mortgage
of $500 on the furniture.
His lodgers moved away, then the
sheriff sold him out and now he
charges Creager with having made
false representations and he asks the
court to award him damages in the
sum of $4,000.

DENIES OFFER TO
SETTLE WAS MADE
BELL CASE IS DELAYED BY
VARIANCE IN PROOF
Judge Dillon Says Attorney Davis Had
Not offered to Pay Costs in Re-
turn for Clearing Petition
er's Name

A brief delay in the trial Of the Bell
case, wherein there Is at stake a for
tune amounting to $3OO000 and the
good name Of woman, was caused by
variance between the proof and the
pleadings, and It was not until late
yesterday afternoon that the trial was
renewed
The attorneys in behalf of Mrs. Ella
Bell Colder, who claims to be daugh-
ter of the deceased by former mar
riage. asked leave to file an amended
complaint, for the purpose of proving
that although the petitioner was born
recognized by the deceased as his law
full child, and therefore entitled to
share in the distribution of the estate.
After some discussion leave was
granted, and the trial was postponed
for several hours in order to allow the
attorneys for the widow of the deceas-
ed to examine the allegations contained
in the amended complaint.
At the opening of court yesterday
morning, Judge Dillon declared before
the court tnat Attorney Davis had
never offered to pay the costs of the
suit and release the estate provided
the defendant admitted the petitioners
legitimacy.
1t had been reported in the news
papers that Attorney Davis had made
this offer of settlement and Judge
Dillon emphatically denied the truth of
the assertion.
"As a gentleman and lawyer, 1 say
that it is untrue" declared the attor-
eny.
Attorney Davis made an effort to
explain his position, but the court de-
clined to hear the attorneys on any
point which was clearly outside of the
record, and the incident was closed.
The afternoon session of the court
was taken up in the reading of deposit
tions in the case, which date back in
some instances for long term of
years.
1t is proba BILE that the taking of oral
testimony will begin today.
