NAZARENE NURSE
Is REPENTANT
OFFERS TO REPAY THOSE SHE
BETRAYED
Miss Hunter, Alias Leighton, Is Said
to Be Addicted to Using Drugs,
Which Brought on Pc
cuiar Moods

Florence NJ. Hunter, alias Leighton,
arrested several days ago on suspicion
by Sergeant Craig, is believed to be
wanted in eastern cities for operating
a sunshine mission" under the guise
of charity.
Miss Hunter, garbed as a deaconess,
aided in caring for the San Francisco
refugees and later is said to have
stolen from the homes of several
wealthy women who entertained her
as their guest.
The young woman was in a repent
ant mood yesterday and Informed the
those whom she had robbed, and gave
the names of several persons whom
she said she had Victinized.
She told of a new instance of her
light fingered work She said she was
given a home with the Burlington fam
lily, 900 West Thirty eighth street.
While there she admits that she stole
a valuable stick pin.
The police say that Miss Hunter is
addicted to the use of drugs and her
craving for cocaine is believed to be
responsible for some of her peculiar
moods.
Sergeant Craig thinks that under her
religious guise she victimized people in
eastern cities, and probably was con-
cerned in a mission which grated
money for ostensible charitable pur-
poses.
Miss Hunter roomed at the Victor on
Wall street for a time and, posing is
a young convert, secured recommenda-
tions from members Of the Church of
the Nazarene.
Information from New York is being
awaited

Negroes Are cantured

Webb stoutly denied his guilt, but
Deputy Cleveland, who has been work.
ing on the case, claims to have sufficient
evidence.
The negro was taken back to the Jail
and complaint charging him with an
assault with a deadly weapon with ins
tent to commit murder was filed
against him.
Webb was arraigned before Justice
Pierce and June IL was set for the date
of his examination. His bail was fixed
at $4,000, in default of which he went
to jail.
The crime of which Webb is accused
was committed May near Saugus
station. When the train started on the
upgrade toward the little town, Brake
man Erickson went to one of the rear
cars, where he found number of
negro tramps. He ordered them to get
off the train and they refused. AS the
train was going at very slow rate of
speed, Erickson told the men that if
they didn't leave he would put them off.
He started toward them, when one of
the number began to abuse him and
finally drew a revolver and fired, the
bullet piercing his liver.
All the negroes fled, but three of them
were captured by officers.

Fred Erickson, Southern Pacific En1-
ploye, Recovering From Fearful
Wound, Tells Officers Story
of Tragedy

Leonard Webb, a negro tramp, under
arrest on suspicion of having been i'm
picated in the shooting of Brakeman
Fred Erickson on the Southern Pacific
line near Saugus three weeks ago, was
yesterday positively identified by Erick-
son as the man who fired the shot
Webb was arrested shortly after the
shooting, and when the officers finally
managed to capture him he threw some
thing away. A later investigation dis
closed the revolver with which the
shooting had been done, and Webb
admitted having had the weapon, but
stated that he had picked it UP after
negro named Wilcox had shot Erick-
son.
The negro, with two other tramps,
was held at the county Jail pending an
Investigation. On the first day Webb
was taken before Erickson for identifi-
cation. At that time the injured man
was still dazed from the shock and
hardly conscious, and while at first he
said that Webb was the man he later
stated that he thought the man who
shot him was a trifie smaller than
Webb.
During the trip to the hospital the
negro shivered and trembled with fear,
and constantly begged the officers to
protect him in case the people should
attempt to do him harm.

FINEST DISPLAY EVER SEEN
IN THE STATE
Such Is Judgment Of Experts at Hor.
ticuItural Soeiety's Extensive
Exhibition Now In Prog
ress Here

While myriads Of sweet scented. gaily
hued flowers nodded gently in the
Blanchard hall last evening, handsome
society women made the opening night
of the first annual spring exhibition Of
the Horticulture society a beautiful
unqualified success.
Coriopsis, pansies, foxgloves and
larkspurs the "old fashioned flower
like mother used to grow" were there
with a wealth of color and fra grance,
while by them waved the French cam
mas Japan iris. clematls and gladoilus
with their colors from pure white to
deepest yellow.
The decoration in Blanchard hall was
under the personal direction of Ernest
Braunton, secretary of the society, and
was most tasteful in the artistic scheme
which 1t carried out. Delicate maiden
hair ferns blended with red carnations
from the ceiling of the hall, and the
rostrum was q wealth of potted ferns,
cut flowers of every known variety
were so arranged that the Roberts or
chestra was hidden from the view of
the spectators so that the music as
well as the fragrance seemed to be
hidden in and beneath the petals of the
flowers and plants.

Pyramid From Park

AS one entered the hall the huge
pyramid from the city parks was .he
most prominent feature. Here in the
form of the ancient Egyptians, a mass
of Towering and foliage plants were
delicately arranged, while here and
there hydrangeas peeped through the
greenry of the ferns and orchids and
gloXinias were beautiful against he
setting of deep green.
The largest collection of cut flowers
in the exhibit was that of Howard
Smith company, the entire left of the
hall being occupied by their plants and
cut flowers. Their red French cannas.
unusual in size and in all colors, from
pink to a deep delicate crimson, hell
many of the florists in ecstacy of ad-
miration.
The Japanese iris, in every hue ex-
cept yellow, the clemats, which was
considered by Mr.. Braunton to be the
fullest collection in color that had ever
been exhibited on the coast, and the
Shasta daisies, Luther Burbank's re-
markable creation, with it's snowy
whiteness, were only few of this
firms contribution to the exhibition.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-24
Fifty GIadiolus Varieties


The collection of F. w. Wolfskills
carnations, every shade of the rain
bow, pink to white, was admired by
many of the enthusiasts, and the table
devoted to A. Campbell-J ohnsons
gladiolus held many of the gardeners
in a thrill of admiration. Mr.. Camp
bell-Johnson's exhibit was the most
varied of any collection ever seen in
this city, fifty named varieties being
in the collection, and for the first time
in exhibition the evolution novelty from
Cove, New York, was seen.
The hybrid Seeding petunias from
John Bodger were exceptional, showing
the double white flower in unusual size
and color.
The "whitest flower on earth," the
watsonia, was exhibited by the Woods
Floral company of Wilmington, the pure
whiteness of the flower contrasting
most wildly with the white carnations
and lilies that were in the same vase
with the wa tsonias.
Separating Blanchard hall from the
Symphony hall was the pergola, dec
GRATED and arranged by Walter Ray
mond of Pasadena, president of the So
ciety and a lover and extensive grow
er of flowers. This little entrance way
was most tastefully arranged with
maidenhair ferns entwined between
palms.
Riot in Sweet Peas
Symphony hall was almost entirely
reserved for sweet peas, and as one en-
tered the delicate fragrance of these
flowers prpared one for the gorgeous
display which the pyramid of bright
colored little blossoms presented. Fully
100000 sweet peas were in this ROOM
which made it a mass of delicate color
Every shade, white, red and deep
purple, fifty varieties, were displayed
In this room the Lambert Floral
company of Sierra Madre displayed
sixty varieties of wild flowers. Their
color, their fragrance gave to the room
touch of the wildness of the noun
tains, and the beauty of their flowers
and uncultivated plants.
Another of the uncultivated flowers
was the delicate yellow Gala, which
the Howard-Smith company imported
from Northern Africa. It's tender color
and fragrance made it one of the most
admired of the flowers
There were many other rare and
beautiful flowers with names long and
tedious and with the wealth of color
these have made the opening night such
display as has never been seen IN
Los Angeles before.
Secretary Braunton, as he hovered
from one beauty to another said: "It
Is an unprecedented success; they are
so beautiful and so rare"
The spring show of the society will
continue until Saturday, May 26, and
eastern people are especially invited T.,
see the wealth of native flowers and
ferns that are on exhibition.
