EVIDENCE WILL
! NOT STOP TRIAL
BESOLD MUST ANSWER UNDER
ANY CONDITIONS
Defense ls Refused Permission to Ex-
hume Body Of Murdered Woman
: Found In Temescal
Canyon

) According to a statement made yes
terday from the bench by Justice Young
OF the township court. Anton Besold.
under trial for the murder of Glade
Besold. his wife, will be held to answer
the charge in the superior court, no
matter what evidence is produced by
the defense.
The statement was made by the JUS
tice after the prosecution had closed its
case on preliminary examination with
one OF the most remarkable chains of
circumstantlal evidence I'm the history
Of local courts and after the defense
had tried every means possible to hold
the trial over for a while longer.
Yesterday the attorneys in the case
spent most of the time arguing for
a permission from the court to exhume
the remains of the woman supposed to
be Cladie Besold.
Defense Presents Denial
The case had hardly been called yes
terday and one or two preliminary wit
nesses examined before an affidavit
was presented by the defense in which
Besold alleged that the body found in
the Temescal canyon was not that of
his wife and that II bore no bullet
wounds in the skull.
In a moment that affidavit was at
tackled by Attorney McComas for the
prosecution. who alleged that Besold
knew nothing about, the body found in
the Temescal canyon so far as its
physical condition was considered be-
cause he had never seen the body and
therefore had no ground whatever to
base his sworn, contention.
Attorney Rush for the defense
promptly took up the challenge by
stating that representatives of the dis
trict attorneys office, officers Of the
sherifFs office and almost any one who
wished, from the side of the prosecu-
tion, had been allowed to examine the
body, but that neither Besold nor his
attorneys had ever been allowed one
glance at the horrible find of the can
yon.
Body Like Mummy
The body, according to the evidence. /
was discovered in the canyon on the |
afternoon of August and at that time |
decomposition had reached such a state |
that no one could have made positive |
of the remains except by |
the clothing. The face had fallen away
as had the ears. and there was only |
a thin covering of parchment-like skin |
over the bones to save the remains |
from being called skeleton.
AS has been told many times. the
hair had fallen from the skull and the !
object resembled mummy more than !
anything else.
That body was on view for more
than a week before it was taken out to
the Santa Monica potter's field and
buried there Since that time Besold

WILD RUNAWAYS
THREATEN DANGER
TEAM ScATTERs THRoNG ON
BROADWAY
Driver Stops Frightened Horses by
Throwing One to Pavement, ard In
This Manner Averts Almost Certain
Death or Injury to Pedestrians

The lives of hundreds of pedestrians
were threatened yesterday morning on
Broadway when team of immense
horses ran between Second and Fifth
streets at furious pace. The team
was drawing light buggy, and be-
longed to the Eagle livery stables.
The horses broke into a wild run
when a portion Of their harness
snapped and the singletrees beat their
sides at every motion of their bodies.
The strong arms of the driver. E. F.
Hall, were unable to slacken the speed
of the animals and away they ran down
the crowded thoroughfare at every in
slant passing the fleeing pedestrians
frightfully close.
At last by a herculean pull and a
clever manipulation of his reins the
driver threw one of the horses to the
ground, and the other was flung over it.
Only in this manner, perhaps, could
the runaways have been stopped, as the
street was so crowded with people and
vehicles that only death could have
paid the penalty for anyone's attempt
to rush in front of the team.

has been arrested and brought to trial,
and now attorneys for the defense In
sist that the remains be exhumed and
that BesOld be allowed to see them
The prosecution, however, won its point
yesterday when Justice Young refused
TO order the body exhumed on the
ground that Besold I'm his sworn state
ment had failed to say whether or not
there were any known marks on the
bones Of the body by which he could
recognize them II he did see them.
Ask Continuance
Failing to secure satisfaction from
the lower court on that grouni attor-
neys for Besold asked for a continuance
of the trial and also for bench wor-
rant to bring Mrs. Florence Nobbman
from San Francisco to Los Angeles
against her will. The woman was sub
poenaed several days ago, but refused
to come to Los Angeles and be mixed
UP In the murder trial.
It was alleged by the defense that
Mrs. Nobbman had stated that she had
seen Mrs. Besold alive after the day
upon which the state alleges her death
occurred and the defense wanted her
brought TO Los Angeles until Justice
Young overruled the motion on the
ground that If Mrs. Nobbman had seen
Mrs. Besold alive after that date she
would have surely said something of II
to her husband. who has been a wit
ness I'm the trial and who stated that
his wife knew nothing OF the case.
Further delays were asked until at
last Justice Young stated that no mat |
ter II Mrs Nobbman and others mem
toned did testify as the attorneys for
the defense contended they would he |
would have to hold the prisoner for /
trial In the higher court on the showing |
made.
The case was continued later for fur
