ANOTHER BOND
FRIENDS COME TO HIS RESCUE
Davies Hearing to Be Called Tomor-
row and the General Opinion Is
That He viii Be Released
From Custody
FRIENDS COME TO HIS RESCUE

AS preliminary to his appeal from
the judgment Of the superior court,
which decreed his removal from office
as marshal of Long Beach, ]. j. Conk-
lin yesterday furnished bond in the
sum of S2500 to replace that formerly
given by him with a surety company
as security and which was formally
withdrawn last week, when the surety
company served notice on the board Of
trustees that 1t desired to be released
from further liability.
The new bond is signed by F. e.
Shaw, Long Beach real estate agent,
and Clark Mccartney. Conklin filed
the bond yesterday and this act re-
moves the possibility of summary
action by the trustees at the meeting
to be held tomorrow, to which date it
adjourned on Monday upon advice of
City Attorney knight that it would be
the duty of the board on that day to
require a new bond or declare the
office vacant.
Conklin says that he proposes to
fight the order removing him from.
office and adjudglng him short in his
accounts with the city, to the end,
not because he particularly cares to
hold the office, but because he intends
to defend his honor and vindicate his
official conduct.
Hearing for Davies
Davies, who was arrested upon in
formation furnished by Mrs. Olive M.
Hurley one week ago, will have a hear
ing before Judge Trask of the superior
court at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning,
when his application for a writ of ha-
beas corpus will be called.
1t is generally conceded that Davies
will be released from custody unless
the officers secure additional evidence
against him within the next twenty
four hours. Sentiment regarding his
guilt has undergone wonderful change
within the last week. When arrested,
he was not safe from mob violence
and the officers feared a demonstration
by citizens, causing them to secretly
hurry him to Los Angeles. The same
mob is awaiting him at Long Beach,
but the violence now proposed will
more probably partake of congratula-
tions than an attempt at bodily injury.
That the case against him will fail
is generally believed and the commu
nifty has turned to the Pinkertons for
hope in apprehending the guilty per-

Conklin's home and the attempt at
burning the mayors residence.
Mysterious Mr.. Brown
Meantime, Deputy Sheriff Gilbert
continues to search for the mysterious
Mr.. Brown" the auburn haired sus-
pect who leads a FREELY existence, al
ways just beyond reach of the pur-
suing officer.
Several clews that looked good to
Gilbert have turned out to be worth
less and the tireless officer continues
his hunt over mountain and dale, seek
ing the pedigree of every red haired
male he can find, hoping to lay the
heavy hand of the law upon the crimi-
nal so terribly in need at this hour.
when the case against Davies is totter-
ing into nothingness and bolster is
regarded as the only saving grace for
the theory leading to his guilt.
Practically, all efforts of the Long
Beach officers to find the guilty per-
sons have ceased and by unexpressed.
yet common, consent the case is left
in the hands Of the Pinkertons and
county officers.
