.zIEGLER RAPED
BY WIFE'S SISTER
IN HIS INNING POLICEMAN
STRIKES BACK
Asserts That the Woman Who Was
to Live by Rule Was a Failure
Both as Wife and Dress-
maker

After having listened to Mrs. Eta
Ziegler's six-hour straightaway talk'
wherein she charged her husband
Thompson II. zlegler, a Los Angeles
police officer, with having "hee- shaved"
her almost to death, Judge Trask yes
terday, in the superior court examined
other witnesses called to testify as to
the domestic relations of the couple.
| Every inch of available space about
the court room was taken up by those
interested in the case, and crowds were
turned away at the door.
Early yesterday morning a delega-
ton representing the temperance
workers arrived on the scene, ready to
say good things about their associate.
Mrs. l.. F. Needham was the first
witness to take the stand at the con-
clusion of Mrs. Ziegler's speech.
According to the witness story
ziegler inferred that the people at his
home were hypocrites. "'Tis not So"
Indignantly added the witness.
Husband at Washtub
| The witness attempted to pick few
flaws in Z.egler's conduct, but on cross
examination she was compelled to ad-
NIT on oath she had witnessed Zlegler
performing in behalf of his spouse
around the washtub.
Mrs Needham however, objected
when Ziegler told her that church peo-
pie were hypocrites, and at this june
ture the witness even volunteered TO
explain to Judge Trask what hypo-
critic really is.
She insisted that Mrs. Ziegler is
real earthly angel, while her husband,
WELL she would not say, but she inti-
mated that he is below her standard
of earthly goodness.
Mrs Ella Smith, the plaintiffs sister
next took the stand. Her complaint
was similar to the one offered by the
plaintiff. She insisted that Ziegler
"hee-hawed" about the premises and
made life miserable for herself and sis
ter. The witness declared that Ziegler
on one occasion asked his wife whom
she had flirted with while shopping In
town. THAT was awful" thought the
witness, but this did not measure up to
the latter part Of her testimony, where
| in she declared that Ziegler hee-hawed,
| growed and thundered when the water
used for bathing purposes was not
regulated to the customary tempera-
ture.
The domestic infelicity existing in
the Ziegler home reached the climax,
however, according to the witness tale,
when Ziegler accused his wife of being
in love with certain red-headed
preacher.
awful" cried a number of over
anxious spectators who were seated In
the anxious row.
Next to the red-headed preacher in
cident Mrs. Smiths chief objection was
entered in relation to Ziegler's failure
to provide his wife with a nobby mid
winter bonnet.
when he was good he was very
good, but when he was bad he was
horrid," said the witness.

Ziegler on Stand

Zegler took the stand in his own be-
half late yesterday afternoon, and re-
lated the history of his domestic woe.
He declared his better half, who
many years before had sworn to honor,
love and protect him, had in reality
been engaged in a systematic nagging
process.
He told the court that in the oral
tits, customary it appears in his home
he was unable to present an argu-
ment with the proper staying quail
tiles" as that element is rated in
pugdom.
AS a dressmaksr, he declared his
spouse to be failure. He told the
court, in explanation, that Mrs Ziegler
would take stitches quarter of an
inch long and then draw up the torn
fragments of the garment.
Ziegler declared that he objected to
outsiders making his wife presents, as
she would continually throw the fact in
his face with a sneer. He went beyond
this, however when he declared it to
be the curse of his life.

divorce, and in order to carry any par

Her divorce threat proved to be the

me to deed half of it to him and when
I refused he cuffed and kicked me. He
continued his i'll treatment until in his
rage he injured me so that l was in
bed several months and he was sem
fenced to six months in the county jail.
after he returned to me he again
importuned me to give him half in
terest in the property and when I

Street Superintendent Hanley re-
ported to the council yesterday that as
far as he was able to ascertain the

notified him that their attorneys said
the eight-hour statute did not apply to
work done under the Vrooman act;

ten hours a day and that If the street
department inspectors were not on
duty ten hours day the street super
intendent and his bondsmen would be
sued.

planned that in all contracts which he
signs an eight-hour clause is inserted.

MASTER OF sLooP PLAINTIFF
IN SUIT
Case Now on Trial May Hinge on Acts
Of Mexico, Which, II Is Alleged,
Seized the ship and Held II In
Port-Asks $1,000 Compensation

A dispute between the master of a
little freight sloop and the represen-
tative of the Union Fertilizer company

tuted by Captain Frank Mania against

day.
The suit dates back to a year ago.
when Beermaker rented the ship
May" then in the San Diego harbor,

in the southern islands.
Captain Mania, the owner Of the
ship, according to the contract. was
to act as engineer and was to receive
compensation of $40 day for the
rental of the sloop. The fertilizer COM
pany through Beermaker, its represen-
tative, agreed to furnish the oil and
provisions and the crew.
The sloop sailed southwark during
September and as soon as it reached

to the action of the Mexican govern
ment in taking charge Of the boat

leave 1t and return to San Diego.
A decision will be given today.

his fathers estate he would be COM
PEELED to take up his residence in Los
Angeles.

eler is valued at something over $780,
COO, much of which is in real estate and
bank bonds The stock at the old jew
elry shop on North Main street is es-
timated to be worth about $240O, but
Administrator McGarvin after a spec
ial inspection asserts that much of the
jewelry is old style and rare and will
therefore bring handsome some from
curio collectors at public auction.
There is about $140,0OO in real estate,
about $4,000 in cash, and about $1,000 in
bank bonds. Philo L. Bush, the son.
a sister and brother of the deceased

WATER BOND ISSUE TO BE
VOTED UPON
QUICK ACTION is NECESSARY
Representative From the Sixth Ward
Attempts to Defeat Resolution,
Pleading for investigation"
but Without Effect

The city council yesterday called an
election and will submit the proposition
to issue bonds for s1,5OO,OOo to create a
fund for buying the lands and water
rights in the owens valley in pursu-
ance Of the recommendation Of the
board of water commissioners.
The formality of calling an election
was by resolution presented by Coun-
Gilman Smith and seconded by Council
man Harmon.
Despite the obstruction tactics in
voked by Houghton, who is at the
present time representing the Sixth
ward in the council, the other MEM
bers, realizing the absolute, necessity
for increasing the supply Of water and
also the fact that it is to be found in
sufficient quantities nowhere else, sue
ceeded after debate lasting over two
hours in passing the resolution, Hough-
ton voting no. being the only one maxi
ing a fight against the proposition.
Delays Session
The member from the Sixth called
for Superintendent of the Water De-
partment Mulholland. The council
granted him the courtesy and the water
commission, which was in session, ad-
journed and the council waited while
Mr.. Mulholland closed his office and
hurried to the city hall.
In answer to questions apparently

never done it yet. For five months I
have examined the Owens river and
valley and it looks better to me each
time I go back. The mean flow of the
river is 10000 miners inches and the
water is remarkable for it purity.
Immediate Action Necessary
at understand that If the bonds are
issued Immediately and the money paid
by January the city can save $45, 000
I also know that $5OOOO is due on the
options October 1 and that Immediate
action is necessary"
The "obstructionist'' wanted to be
sent on junket into the Owens valley
and began deprecating haste, declar-
ing that 900 of the taxpayers money
amounted to nothing.
After the "obstructionist" had fin
ished a particularly loud rally on how
he had to go to the Owens valley be-
fore he voted because he had to rep
resent his ward, a man rather we'll
known in Los Angeles and one having
many holding stepped into the council
chamber from the gallery and said:
''Mr. Chairman, live In the Sixth
ward and own a great deal of property
there and we don't know that we have
a councilman"
The council was so delayed by the
'obstructionist," who declared that he
was to leave for the Owens valley at
2 o'clock Tuesday morning, that it be-
came necessary to adjourn to later
date before the business was complet-
ed. The council adjourned until 10
O'Clock Thursday morning, whereupon
the "obstructionist" announced that he
would not go to the Owens valley but
would remain in Los Angeles.
