1t seems that the boy has been
guilty several time before within the
last six weeks of committing the same
kind of an act and only short time
ago unhitched a rig tied in front OF
the First M E. church and drove TO
the lake, and when found stated he
only wanted to take a ride and didn't
think he was doing any wrong and
when brought to police headquarters
promised he would not do it again
but his promise made was soon for

again last evening.
The parents of the lad have been
notified of the boys conduct and they
state they have done everything pos

him, coaxed him and even tied him
but he will persist in stealing.
What to do with this boy is the
question the authorities are asked to
solve, the law not permitting a child

C|R['S STORY
Of the Criminal Assault
in the kIing-Huston
Case = Hearing Post
poned Until Wednes-
day.

In the case of the state of Ohio on
complaint of Mrs. Flora King, Which
was set for hearing in Mayor Turn
bulls court yesterday morning at 10
o'clock postponement was had until
Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock.
News readers will remember that
this case is one brought by the state
on behalf of the mother of Lillian
| King, 15-yearold girl, and the
| charge is criminal assault.
Until last evening the story as re-
lated by the girl has never been
made public, but now that the case is
! to be tried on its merits her story of
the assault has become a matter of
public interest.
She says that on last Friday morn.
ing her mother left home at an early
hour to visit a married sister living
in another part of town and she was
left in charge of an elder sister who
was confined to her bed with illness.
Huston, whose wife and children were
absent from the city at the time, no.
ticing her mother leave home did not
go to his work at the Carnahan tin
plate works, but busted himself about
the house until her mother was out of
sight, then called to her to come
over, as he said he had some pictures
that he wanted to show her. The
gil told her sick sister of the invita-
tion and said as she left the house
that she would only be gone a mo-
ment. Upon entering the Huston
home the child asked where the pic
lures were and she alleges that Huf
ton told her they were up stairs and
to go on up and he would presently
join her. She says she did his bid
ding and went to a bedroom where
the pictures were supposed to be and
sat down on the bed. Presently he
| joined her and instead of being shown
the pictures was mistreated
The prolonged absence of the child
worried her sick sister and she asked
couple of neighbor women to go
over and call her home. They did as
requested and while the child. who
was being detained by Huston, heard
thS Sdli0, WHICH were repeated several
times, she says that Huston command
ed her to keep silent At length the
women left the Huston house and re-
turned home. After they were gone,
says the child, Huston escorted her
| down stairs and let her out of the
back door. Then she returned home
and was taken to task by her sister,
who noticed that she was pale and
trembling. Persistent questioning
made the girl tell her story, which
was substantially the same as is here
given.
Huston denies the charge, but the
evidence of the child will, according
to neighbors, be corroborated.
Huston is at liberty, under a bond
of $1,000, pending the preliminary
hearing. Out on Pennsylvania ave.
nue., where all parties concerned re-
side, the case is attracting a great
| deal of interest

JUDGE CYRUS r. McNUTT
Unassuming Man Makes Friends In
stantIy-Occupies Flattering Place
in Recent History of Bench
in California

Judge Cyrus F. McNutt, candidate
for superior judge on the non-partisan
and Democratic tickets, was born OH a
farm in Indiana. In his boyhood he
had small opportunity for acquiring
learning. At the age of 10 he entered
Franklin college with the intention Of
pursuing its full course of studies, but
before the end of his third term the
death of his father obliged him to re-
turn home to conduct the farm. At the
age of 20 he began the study of the law,
attending as student the law depart
ment of the Northwestern Christian
university. He was admitted to the
bar of the supreme court of Indiana
in the spring of 1860, and began the
practice of the law at Franklin, in his
native county of Johnson. After some
years of practice there and at Mar
tinville, in Morgan county, Judge Nc
Mutt was elected professor of law in
the College of Law of the Indiana state
university. Here he remained until
1877, when he resigned and removed
to Terre Haute, which continued to be
his home until he removed to Califor-
mia.
During his residence at Terre Haute
Judge McNutt acquired and retained n
large practice; indeed, was engeged in
almost all the important causes, both
ClNll ant oilSlll5 III SCllbIQl
and Western Indiana for the period of
twenty years. In 1890 he was elected
Judge of the superior court of Vigo
county, of which Terre Haute is the
county seat. but at the end of the term
he declined a denomination in order
that he might remove to California.
'"A History of the Bench and Bar of
California" published in 1901. contains
the following
"Since Judge McNutt located at Los
Angeles ne has maintained the same
high standing at the bar and enjoyed
the same general esteem which were
his in Indiana. In November, 1897, he
formed a law partnership with Col. Geo.
II. Smith and ]. e. Harmon. which
still continues, under the firm name of
MeNutt & Harmon, Colonel Smith haV-
ing been appointed a commissioner of
the supreme court of California. The
firm of McNutt & Harmon Is one of the
strongest i'm the state, and, although IT
was only recently formed. Is fully oc-
eupied with business of first import
ance. Judge MeNutt is an unassum-
ing man, but his arguments In court
during his comparatively brief resi-
dence in California, presented I'm his
quiet yet earnest and engaging way,
have been the subject OF comment BY
our best legal minds, and the profess
sion, at least in the southern part Of
the state, looks upon him as one Of It's
very ablest exponents."
