BIG CONSTABLE AND
CONDUCTOR MAKE UP
THEY HAD MIXED ON PACIFIC
ELECTRIC CAR
Attorneys in Court Suggested That
They Shake Hands, Which They
Did, and Battery Case of Long
Beach Was Dismissed

Probably one of the most mirth-pro-
voking c: IS that has been in the
courts for days was the case yesterday
before Judge Chambers of the people
versus A. o. Hawkins.
Hawkins is a Pacific Electric street
car conductor running on the Long
Beach line. He is of rather slight
build.
The complaining witness was big
Deputy Constable Davis, who had the
man arrested on a charge of battery.
Davis claimed that he was carried by
his destination on July and that he
demonstrated with the conductor, but
only received a good drubbing for his
pains.
This assertion caused even the judge
to smile, for Davis is almost twice as
large as the conductor and apparently
as strong as an OK.
Davis had no witnesses to verify MS
statements.
Attornev Mcclure for the Pacific
Electric, suggested that the two men
shake hands and settle the affair in that
way. Some one whispered: Have the
case dismissed and settle the affair III
back lot
AS small as was the conductor he
nodded his approval, but the deputy
constable did not seem inclined to dis
pose of the cffair in this manner
After a long talk in Prosecuting At
torney Reebe's Office II was decided to
have the case dismissed and to forget
the unpleasant Incidents clinging
thereto

NEGRO WOMAN TESTlFlES IN
MURDER CASE
She Endeavors to Show Length Of
Time Between the Two Shots
Fired When Henry Elton Was
Killed

Final testimony in the case of Henry
Simpson, negro charged with the
murder of Henry Elton on the night
of February 10 last, was taken yester-
day before Judge Smith of the superior
court.
The attorneys for the people and
Earl Rogers for Simpson were clos
ing their addresses to the jurors When
the court adjourned until this morning.
In the trial yesterday Simpson ad-
mitted the shooting of Elton. but ne
was unable to state just what shot 1t
was that wounded Elton mortally. He
told his story in straightforward
manner and said that he did not fire
the first shot nor did he intend to kill
Elton.
Suggestion at drunkenness on the
part of Elton were made by the ac-
cused witness. Simpson said he dld
his best to avoid personal contact with
Elton and it was only when Elton had
fired at him that he commenced 10
grapple with him.
An interesting feature of the proceed
/ ines Yesterday was the testimony ol
Lucy Brooks, the negress from whose
house Elton sought to bring a white
married woman whom he believed was
/ carousing with the negroes
Mrs. Brooks stated tnat ldpSe VI
! five minutes occurred between the first
and second shots. Attorney Rogers
asked the woman to clap her hands al
intervals about the time between the
| first and second shots. The witness
clappei her hands at an interval OF
! just thirty seconds.
According to the attorneys Mrs
Brooks is either ignorant of the lengtf
of different measures of time or has nc
conception of the meaning of minutes
! or seconds.

NEW YORK, July 1I-Speculative
sentiment seemed bewildered today by the
novelty of advancing prices of stocks and
the maintenance of the advance with such
persistence as was shown yesterday,
There was a marked lack Of speculative
initiative manifest as a consequence in
today dealings and the market was
almost idle for large part of the time,
with prices drifting listlessly and with
no well defined course.
The number of shares dealt in was
somewhat in excess of the total OF last
Tuesday which made the low record for
the present year, but the character of the
trading otherwise was much the same.
The professional traders openly expressed
skeptcsm of the stability of the higher
level on the ground that covering of
shorts was wholly responsible for the rise
and the reduction of the short interest
lessened the potential support of the mar
ket at every step of the advance. 1t was
only with the most extreme caution that
purchases were made at the higher Level
established at the opening and these
gains were mostly lost in the subsequent
uncertain fluctuations.
Amalgamated Copper and Southern Pa
Gifts were responsive to gossip of in
tended increase of dividends
A coming meeting of st. Paul directors
gave occasion for repetition of many ver-
sions of the supposed plans to finance
stocks once more moved on account of
the ore lands deal. There was some con-
fusion as to the present gold import
movement. due in part to contradictory
reports of the actual amount secured
yesterday
Cabled reports from London pointed to
2,0O0O0o or upward, hut confirmation
could he had of only $1,OOOO00 from New
York bankers.
Call money was easy. but rates for
time loans We're fully sustained Foreign
exchange continued to decline in spite Of
the gold enga gements and belief was
maintained that a further movement was
in immediate prospect
The dying out of demand on the ad-
vance allowed prices to slip back and
except in n handful of the most active
speculative stocks the days net changes
were insignificant and the closing tone
was duh and heavy.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, 81 .232. ono

DIVORCE PLEA REJECTED
Fair Plaintiff, Refused Decree on One
Ground, to Bring Another
Charue

Suit for divorce was begun in the
superior court yesterday by Mrs. Jennie
Leguine from her husband, Joseph
Lgeuine, on the grounds of extreme
cruelty. After the testimony of Mrs.
Leguine was introduced the case was
dismissed In the opinion Of the court,
the testimony failed to establish just
cause for action on the stated grounds.
AT the acViSe of the attorney for the
plaintiff, the case was continued to be
reset on statutory grounds, which Mrs.
Leguines attorney declared could be
substantiated.
An interlocutory decree of divorce
was granted yesterday to Carroll E.
Low from V. S. Low by Judge w. +.
James of the superior court.
Suit for divorce was filed by Maggie
Parkhurst from Merritt l.. Parkhurst
in the county clerks office yesterday.
