BUCKS ATTORNEY
GETS NO EXPERT
ALLOW ONLY HYPOTHETICAL
QUESTIONS
UnofficiaIIy Superintendent of Napa
Asylum Pronounces Mrs. CanfleId's
Slayer Insane at Time
of Murder

Expert evidence from DR.. I. z. Cohn
of the Napa insane asylum will be pro-
duced Monday when Morris Buck,
charged with the murder of Mrs.
Charles A. Garfield, is taken before
Judge Smith of the superior court for
trial.
Attorney Warner, representing Buck,
yesterday applied to Judge Smith for
q subpoena for the expert, but the
petition was denied and in its stead
Warner was allowed to send the facts
in the case and a history of Buck s
life in hypothetical question form, for
the experts opinion of the case.
Warner has already received an opin-
ion, unofficially, from DR.. Cohn, in
which Cohn stated that Buck was un-
questionably insane when he committed
the murder.
But how far the opinion of the north
ern expert, who has never even seen
Buck, will go with the southern jury
is a question which the district attor-
ney is not botftering over.
In the meantime Buck is waiting pa
tiently for the day of his trial. Unlike
any other prisoner in the county Jail
he has no friends to send him money
or tobacco and since his incarceration
he has received nothing but the plain
prison fare, put up in meals valued at
eight cents or less.
Most of the day Buck rests on his
pallet, but during the past week he has
awakened somewhat from his lethargy
and now takes advantage of the eXer-
else hour.
The case will be called Monday morn
ing at 10 o'clock.

SEERESS FIGHTS WARRANT
Claims That Her SiIkWorm Scheme
Had No Criminal Feat
ures to IL

Mrs. Charles F. sauer, better known
as Margaret Graham, the Broadway
seeress and psychic. who was arrested
Saturday m a fugitive warrant from
San Antonio, Tex, will make a strong
fight against extradition when she ap-
pears before Justice Pierce for exam
ination Thursday.
The woman claims that, although
the silk worm scheme proved a failure
there was nothing criminal in the af-
fair, and she claims that civil action
only may be brought against her.
Her husband, Charles Sauer, formerly
in the restaurant business, says that he
was tried on a similar charge in the
Texas courts and acquitted. He feels
confident that his wife will win in the
courts here in the present trouble and
says she will continue to hold forth as
a seeress.

COUNCIL FIGHTS THE FIRES
Authorizes The Mayor to Offer $500
Reward for Los Angeles
Pvronnaniacs

The council has become alarmed al
the great number of incendlary fires
that have occurred in the last few
weeks and yesterday resolution was
offer and pay a reward of $500 for the
arrest and conviction of the pyro-
maniacs.
Owing to the depleted condition of
the city treasury and the question of
where the money for the reward is to
come from, the case was referred ia
the finance committee.
If these fires continue until next
Monday afternoon when the finance
committee reports, it is probable that
some action of this kind will be recon-
mended.

PAWN A RING
LAST STRAW IN WIFE'S MATRI.
MoNIAL GRIEVANCES
Alleging That Spouse ScandaIized Her
in Arkansas, Where a Waitress
Wore Husbands Lodge Pins,
She Asks for Separation

Because, as she alleged, her hus-
band induced his little son to pawn
his ring to secure money, Mrs Ola
Shores of Jonesboro, Arkansas, vester-
day petitioned Judge Trask in depart
ment four of the superior court for an
interlocutory decree of divorce.
The couple married in Jonesboro in
1882 and until several years ago lived
together in happiness. In 1904, ac-
cording to the allegations of the wife
yesterday her husband became infatu-
ated with a country girl who acted
as waitress in the Hughes hotel.
The girl was seen wearing certain
watch charms and lodge pins belonging
to Levi Shores, and his wife grew sus-
picious. When she learned that the
young woman was buying various
articles of wearing apparel at the viii
lage store and charging them to
Shores account Mrs. Shores decided
to investigate, and there was such a
scandal in the village that according
to the statements of Mrs. Shores, she
and her daughters We're compelled to
withdraw from society.
The eldest daughter then asked her
father for money to come west and
on being refused the family left the
town and came to Los Angeles, where
they have since lived.
Pawns Daughters Ring
Mrs Shores testified yesterday that
her husband came to Los Angeles about
year ago but that he made no effort
at a reconciliation and was simply
looking around to see the country. She
further testified that Shores met his
daughter on the street one day and
induced her to allow him to pawn her
diamond ring. He secured forty dol
lars on the stone and returned home
with the money, while the daughter
and mother managed to save the ring
by securing employment and redeem
ing it.
Less than a year ago Mrs. Shores
received a request from her husband
that she forward 500 to him at Albu-
querque. She did not send the money
but he arrived in Los Angeles a short
time later and has since been here
Mrs. Shores further testified yester-
day that not many weeks ago Shores
met his youngest son on the street and
induced the lad to pawn ring for 81
and let his father have the money,

In certain anti-joint statehood sections

that ballot without a cross against

Sir-I have Your letter of the 10th

voter eglects to cross either the ives"
or mo" on his ballot with reference to

if the ballot on that question should be
counted either for or against"
You are advised that in such an even

wise, have succeeded in placing their
friends in nomination for the various
offices of the county. The other is COM
posed of Democrats and Republicans,
who have joined forces for the sake of
offering TO the people of Torrance county
a list of honest men, whose records are
clean, whose highest ambition is to see
the greatest good for the greatest man,
ber of the citizens of Torrance county.
and the economical administration of
affairs. There is not single man on
the Democratic ticket, against whom
the charge of dishonesty or graft can be-
sustained. Everyone is man worthy Of
the support of the honorable and law
abiding citizens of Torrance county.
The Republican ticket stands for any
thing but the wishes of the Republican
voters Of Torrance county. Only two
short years ago this month, one of the
candidates on this same republican
ticket was caught red handed in Albu.
qusrque selling cattle belonging to Fell.
ciano Chavez of Willard, and giving a
bill OF sale therefor. Would the Repub.
lican voters of Torrance county have
nominated such man for office? How
would you like to have your estate adj
ministered bya Probate Judge, whose

tion? Do you want a peace officer who
does not know how to keep the peace
himself? One who during the past two
years has abused the office to such an ex.
tent that Governor Hagermann was com.
PEELED to call halt? If 80, vote the Re-
publican ticket.
On the other hand, do you want the
affairs of the county placed in the hands
of men who hsve been successful in their
own personal affairs, whose honesty is
unquestioned, whose integrity is their
greatest virtue, who are well qualified by
education and experience to attend to
the business Of various offices? If this
is what you want. vote the Democratic
+icket.
Some, no doubt will hesitate at the
name Democratic. Perhaps a more in.

complications, it was thought best to
lse the name and emblem already on
ecord But what of the name? Some Of
he nominees are as good Republicans as
ver breathsd, much better than the
MEMBERS of the gang, who put through
he so-called Republican ticket. Vote
he Democratic ticket and assist
d freeing Torrance county from the rule
Of gang and graft. Be honest with your
ounty, be honest with your neighbors,
nd last, but not least be honest with
ourself.

GANG NOMINATES
CANDIDATES
BY Methods Un-American Control the Con.
Vention

The Republican convention for Tor
rance county was called to order last Sat-
urday morning at the schoolhouse by
Candido Padils, the self elected chairman
of the county central committee. After
stating the OBJECT of the convention, he
called for nominations for temporary
chairman and secretary. He showed his
un-amerieanism at the start, by refusing
to allow any other nominations for tenn.
porary chairman than his own name.
After considerable wrangling, those op-
posed to the gang, and gang methods, al
lowed it to 90 seeing that he was not in
tending to allow the Craftsmanship to get
away from him, AS in that way the people
might have their way in the convention
and the gang be thrown out. After hav-
ing been made temporary chairman, it
was an easy matter, of course for him. to
name the committee on permanent organ
ization, and still retain the reins of the
convention. Committees on credentials
and resolutions were also named, after
which adjournment was taken to 1870 pim
1t was ago, before the caucusing and
slate-fxing was arranged and the conven-
ton again called to order. After the re-
port of the committees was read and &C.
cepted, the nominations of the candidates
for offices was In order. Most of the NOM
nations were made without opposition, as
the majority of those opposed to the gang
had withdrawn, knowing that the slate as
fixed would be nominated, by fair means
or foul. In most instances the only quail
fcation necessary to secure the nomination
was that the nominee be member Of, or
afriend to the gang. In securing results |
'Tammany" could learn valuable lessons
from the gang of Torrance county. We
give the ticket as nominated in another
column.
