JUDGE SHUTS
OUT B0MBAST
BOTH SCOTS FACE COURT IN
SAN BERNARDIN0
Brothers Are Almost ReconciIed to
Jail Life Because of the Con-
stant Moves and coun.
ter Moves

OF agin, on agin. gone agin, Fin
negin," and so with Walter Scott, who
bobbed up serenely and played before
a large audience last night.
His troubles have been numerous
the past few days Automobiles, ex-
hibits of money, real or stage, arrests.
writs of habeas corpus that didn't
work and finally one that freed him
from the clutches of the law.
Yesterday at San Bernardino Judge
F. F, Oster discharged Scotty from
custody, holding that the action Of
Justice of the Peace C. L. Thomas was
illegal In increasing the bail already
given from $4,000 to $4,000.
The writ was secured early yester-
day. by Attorney Byron Waters and
made returnable at 1870. The courts
decision followed brief argument Of
the questions involved. Judge Oster
did not permit the attorneys in the
case to go into any extended history of
the facts and stated that the case had
had great deal more of notoriety than
1t was really entitled to.
Brother Bill, Too
While Scotty was being freed from
custody his brother Bill was being ar
raigned before Justice Thomas upon
charges of assault with deadly
weapon upon Warner Scott and D. e.
Owen and his bail was fixed at $500
In each case. His preliminary hearing
was set at the same time for May 1.
Both of the SCOTS declared that they
were satisfied with life in jail and
didn't care to be released. Their exits
and their entrances to Jail We're begin
ming to come with too much frequency
for peace of mind and they declared
that they would like to stay where they
were until the pending matters were
settled Bill Scott, not having found
a bondsman to come to his rescue,
took much of philospphic comfort that
prevailed around, but his brother, Wal
ter, took up once more the strenuous
life and set off for Los Angeles, where
things are wont to thrill with the life
of big city.
Miss Lillian Malcolm reached San
Bernardino yesterday morning to fur
nish aid and comfort to Bill Keyes. Her
visit to the desert was fruitless, for
when she got there she ascertained that
Keyes, whom she was seeking, was al
ready under arrest. She visited the
Jail and had brief talk with him and
then went into consultation with an
attorney.
There seems to be lull in all the
troubles in prospect for the authorities
of San Bernardino are said to have
stated that Scotty would not be further
interfered with until the time set for
his appearance there in May.
Last nights performance was the
last public appearance of the king
in Los Angeles for some time. His way
is eastward to gather fame or trouble,
as the case may be.
Pearl In jail
But in the Jail, and seemingly unable
to get bond, lies Pearl. The bail was
fixed in his case by Judge Smith of the
Superior court at $4,000 and had not,
up to late hour last night, been Sc
cured.
With brother Bill and Pearl in Jail,
Bill Keyes relying upon feminine
assistance and "Scotty" involved to
greater or less degree almost anything
may occur, but the thrill center has
been removed, the show is gone and
brother Bill in Jail is happy and con-
tent, free from the sorrows and the
troubles of this world.
Pearl, however, at a late hour last
night, had not obtained bail and bade
fair to spend Sunday. behind the bars.
Scotty arrived in Los Angeles
shortly after 6 o'clock and resumed
the place that had been filled during
his absence by Taylor, the actor-play-
wright.
