Education at Immaculate
Heart College

Bishop Conaty delivered an address
before the graduates of the Immaculate
Heart college at Hollywood last even
ing, taking for his topic christian Ed
ucation." The lect ire was given as a
preliminary event before the gradua-
ton, which will be held this afternoon
at O'Clock at the new academy in
Hollywood
Bishop Conaty dwelt on the value of
Christian education of today-its neces-
sity, the responsibility of the parent in
giving it to the children and the re-
sponsibility of the children in carrying
out it's precepts
A short musical program was given
by the young women of the college, in
Guiding a piano quartet by the Misses
A. and NJ Laoiza, Twohy and Falido.

the knife The surgeons had declared a
two-edged instrument was not the
property of Jaxon but the property of
the deceased.
The buttons which the prosecution
said Jaxon removed from the vest of
Logan Attorney Hahn declared were
not like those found in the shop of
Jaxon.
Attorney Hahn also argued that if
Jaxon had removed the buttons from
Logan's vest the accused would not
have been fool enough to leave them
lying around in his shop.
On the other hand, said Maj. DON
nell, it had not seen shown that Jaxon
was in Pasadena between the hours
of and $3.50 o'clock the night of
the murder. Jaxon's absence, if there
had been one, would have given him
plenty of time in which to commit the
deed,

PLEADS GUILTY TOA
PETTY LARCENY CHARGE
Walter Raymond Acknowledges He
Tempered With Mail Belonging to
Others and Must Now Go to Jail
for His Acts

Walter Raymond, charged with TAX
ing letters with money in them from 209
South Hill street, was given a hearing
before Police Judge Chambers yester-
day morning and pleaded guilty to a
charge of petty larceny.
Detectives Chapman and Rico sus-
pected the man of tampering with the
mail and marked some letters. They
waited for him and caught him with
the letters in his possession. The off,
GERS endeavored to make federal case
against Raymond for tampering with
United States mail, but failed, and
brought charge of burglary.
The authorities contended that it
was not a federal case because the
man took the mail after it had been
delivered and had passed out of the
hands of the government employees.
Raymond will be sentenced next Thurs
day morning.

JAXON HELD ON
MURDER CHARGE
PASADENA TAILOR TO STAND
TRIAL
Justice Glover Orders Negro to Jail
Pending PROSECUTION on the
Accusation of Killing
James Logan

j. C. c. JaXon, the Pasadena tailor
who is accused of the murder of James
A. Logan on the Raymond hotel golf
links on the hight of May 18, was held
to anser to the superior court without
bonds by Justice G. w. Glover of
South Pasadena yesterday morning.
The hearing which has been held
since Friday and Saturday of last
week was brought to sudden close
yesterday morning at 10:S0 o'clock by
the announcement of Maj. Donnell
assistant district attorney. that the
state had no more evidence to offer.
Attorney Hahn, for the defense, fol-
lowed the announcement by saying
that no more evidence would be Of
fered, as no case had been presented
by the prosecution.
Mai Donnell also stated that with a
little more evidence the state would be
able to convict Jaxon. "In view Of
this" said Maj. Donnell, "JaXon should
be held" Summing up the evidence,
Justice Glover ordered that Jaxon be
held without bonds.
Mai Donnell, in following up his
assertions that a little more evidence
would convict Jaxon, state that the
evidence that was coming would estab-
lish motive for the murder of Logan.
Justice Glover then ordered JaXon to
he taken to the ounty jail.
An agreement was entered into be-
tween Attorney Hahn and Maj. DON
nell that a transcript of all the tes-
timohy be given Judge Smith, who
will then be able to determine whether
or not Jaxon should be released on
bonds.
Lawyers Argue Points
Several witnesses were called to the
stand before the hearing of the case
was suddenly closed. The testimony
was in no case OF great importance
and only served to make the case drag
A. j. Plank. the telegraph operator
who it was said overheard a converse
tion between Jaxon and Logan, in
which the latter two quarreled, was
placed on the stand Plank denied the
statement. and was otherwise unable
to shed the least light on the case.
Attorney Hahn, IN his argument for
release on bail of his client, said that
throughout the trial unfairness and

had been at work He pointed out that

Martin Gaule, an old man who was
arrested by Private Detective Charles
L. Foster Thursday on a charge of
entering houses in the daytime, was

Schwerin Is Arrested

Here Schwerin was arrested on a
charge of having passed worthless
checks. He had managed to get rid of
about fifty of them and the money was
used in support of his little family.
Before the trial Mrs. Schwerin, with
t1reless energy. went from one merchant
to another, and nearly all promised to
speak good word for the man who
had wronged them.
Several days before the time for the
young mans trial his wife told him
that soon she would be compelled to
enter a maternity hospital. The next
morning the young man was found
hanging from the bars of his cell and
he was cut down just in time to save
his life
Yesterday it was the same desper-
ate fear for the future of his wife that
caused the young man to stagger as
he entered the court room for sentence
In the eyes of the young woman
there was light of hope, hope that her
husband might be allowed to return to
her, the light of expectation for his
joy when he learned what his wife had
managed to do for him.
She watched the judge as he talked
TO the young man and the very first
words made her stagger as though she
had been struck in the face.
Until noon yesterday / had thought
to put you on probation" said Judge
Smith. But yesterday Officer Hawley
came to me and he told me of the many
checks passed by you, and in the face
of that evidence, even though many
influential men have spoken in your
behalf, shall have to sentence you"
Court Pronounces Sentence
The effort of the department to add
to the roll of convictions had won and
the woman clutched tightly the arms of
her chair and waited.
ut is the order of this court that
you be imprisoned in the state peni-
tentiary at Folsom for a period of six
years" said the court.
Screaming wildly and clutching at
his temples as though the veins were
about to burst from them, young
Schwerin dropped to the floor in col
lapse, and there he remained while his
wife knelt over him and offered her
comfort.
Then he was taken away and the
court continued with its work. The
machinery OF the law allowed the
young man to eat two more meals and
then dress for what may be his last
ride on earth. for the young mans
friends say his health ana spirit are
ruined and that he will never survive
the years of hard penitentiary life.
But the woman cannot be comforted.
There is the care of baby on her
shoulders and she has not enough
money to buy the next meal.

JURY D|SACREES
IN L0SEE CASE
FORMER TRUSTEE Is AGAIN ON
BAIL
After Fifteen Ballots and Several
Weary Hours Foreman Sends
Word to Judge and Men
Are Discharged

After fifteen ballots had been taken
and after the court, the officers and
even the jurymen had become wearied
OF the task, the twelve men in depart
ment one of the superior court who for
the past week have been trying ]. b.
Losee, former trustee of Long Beach,
on charge of having accepted bribe,
gave up all hope of reaching a decision
last night and disagreed.
They were discharged by Judge
Smith, and Losee will be compelled to
go through the same nerve breaking
performance before another twelve
men.
At O'Clock yesterday afternoon
District Attorney Fredericks, for the
prosecution, closed the case and the
Jurymen received their instructions
and were sent to the jury room.
Then minor case was taken up and
the spectators lost interest in the trial
of the former trustee. Losee, with
bowed head and twitching hands,
walked over to one of the windows and
watched the school children lettering
along on their way home.
His attorneys on one side of the room
were arguing among themselves and
all the other spectators were listening
TO the new trial and the little man at
gotten.
Returns to His Home
Finally the bailiff went to Losee and
gave him a cigar. II was a rest to the
overstrained nerves of the business
man and he luffed at IL contentedly.
At o'clock the court room was
crowded with spectators, eager to see
and hear what was about to happen.
Losee seemed nervous, but he paid
little attention to the curious who
stared at him.
Then court adjourned until o'clock.
Finally at o'clock Judge Smith sent
word to the jurymen, asking for their
decision. The foreman responded in
person that fifteen ballots had been
taken and that the jurymen probably
would never agree on the case.
They were then called i'm and dis
charged and Losee was allowed to go
free on the bail furnished before the
trial.
II is not known whether or not the
second trial of the accused trustee will
take place before the trial of former
