DIVORCE CASE N0N-SUITED
Horsemans Wife Seeks Decree on
Cruelty Charge-Evidence
Fails of Confederation

Suit for divorce on the ground of
cruelty was begun yesterday in de-
partment six of the superior court by
Mrs. NJ. c. Thornton, who alleged that
her husband, ]. J. Thornton, local
horseman. had treated her worse than
he would treat the mules and horses
owned by him.
Mrs Thornton testified that her hus-
oand had on several occasions ad-
dressed her in the same manner he
would use to a refractory mule and had
struck and cursed her.
She alleged that she was compelled
to care for the horses on several occa-
Sions.
But she failed to produce any corrob-
orative evidence, and when Thornton
through his attorneys asked that the
case be non-suited Judge Monroe de-
cided that that was the best plan and
all parties left the court room.
Thornton may file suit for divorce
from his wife later.

GETS JUDGMENT FOR 81
INSTEAD OF $4,000 ASKED
MRS. HAMMOND ALLEGES FALSE
IMPRISONMENT
Ragtime Tune Played by Child of
Hotel Keeper Causes Row in
Pomona-Atfair Is Carried to the
Superior Court

In place of the $4,000 damages she
asked for false imprisonment. Mrs
Anna F. Hammond of Pomona. after
a lengthy trial, was allowed Judgment
Tor 81 damages against A. H. Schroeder
oy Judge Wilbur in department eight
OF the superior court yesterday.
The details Of the case were peculiar
and about two score of the inhabitants
OF Pomona were on hand to testify.
According to the story told by Mrs.
Hammond, she had been a lodger at the
schroeder home on a certain night
some weeks ago While Mrs. Hammond
was sitting in her room on that even
ing one of the offspring of the Schroed-
ers began to play rather lively tune
on the piano below. Mrs. Hammond
raped on the floor and an argument
iollowed, and the woman announced
her intention of leaving the house
When she went to leave the next
morning she found the front door
locked but Schroeder soon appeared
and gave her a half dollar which he
owed her and then offered to let her
leave the house on condition that she
turn over the keys of her room to him
she refused and the marshal was sent
for. She then agreed to give up the
Keys, with the exception of closet key,
which she refused to return. She ex-
planned that she had some ponderous
baggage In the closet and that she
would keep the key until she was ready
to take the baggage away
The marshal finally persuaded her to
give up the key. She went to her room
and extracted the much wanted key
from the folds of an ornament benea tn
the gas fixtures.
W nen the closet door was opened a
small paper Of pins was the only bag
gage there, and Mrs. Hammond tucked
the pins away i'm her stocking and left.
She alleged that she had been held
prisoner for three hours and asked $4,000
damages,

DENIES NON-SU|T
IN LOSEE TRIAL
DEFENSE MUST NOW ANSWER
BRIBERY CHARGE
Accused Trustee Will Be Placed on
Stand Today-May Prove Strong
Witness in His Own
Behalf

After an entire day of argument in
yesterday 1t was decided by Judge
Smith that the prosecution in the case
of j. B. Losee, charged with having ac-
cepted bribe. had made out a suff1-
cient case to cause further investiga-
ton and motion for non-suit was de-
MED The defense will be required to
enter its side of the case today
Shortly after court convened yester-
day morning Judge Smith decided that
a statement made by Losee in District
Attorney FrederickS' office on the night
of his arrest was in the nature of a con-
feSsion and therefore could not be ad-
mitted in evidence as had been pro-
posed the day before by the prosecution
Following that District Attorney Fred
ericks announced that the state had fin
ished and closed its side of the case.
Argue for Non-Suit
The jury was then ordered to report
back to the court Friday morning and
Attorney LIE Compile Davis began ar
gument for non-suit of the case on the
ground that Charles Corbeley, the chief
witness for the prosecution, was an ac-
complice to the crime if one had been
committed and that therefore a man
could not be held on the unsupport ed
and uncorroborated evidence of an ac-
complice.
Corbeley was the manager of the con-
struction company awarded the con-
tract for the building of the basement
of the new pleasure pavilion at Long
Beach last July. He testified that after
he had received specifications calling
for cylindrical piles for the foundation,
he was asked by Losee what the differ
ence in price would be if the piles were
square.
He said that one thousand dollars
was the difference and that sum. Cor
beley testified, he gave to Losee The
other trustees of Long Beach declare
they never heard of the change in speci-
tications and the extra thousand which
should have been paid back to the city
and In that way Corbeley's evidence
was the mainstay of the prosecution.
Says corbeIey Is AccompIice
Attorney Davis in his motion for nom
suit contended that Corbeley in pay
ing the money over to Losee, if it had
ever been paid over to Losee, was CIV
ing a bribe and therefore was an ac-
complice to the i.lleged crime.
On the ground that the word of an
accomplice who is accepting the pro-
lection of the state cannot be accepted
as convicting evidence against a man
unless that evidence be fully corrobor-
ated and substantiated, Attorney Davis
asked for the release of his client.
Just before adjournment Judge Smith
| denied the petition for dismissal and
stated that enough evidence had been
produced at least to send the case to the
! jury for it's decision.
The defense will take up the case to-
| day and Losee, 1t is understood, will
prove the strongest witness in his own
| behalf

MUSIC AND DIGESTION DO NOT
AGREE WITH RESTAURANT PATRONS

table and did the wiggle dance to the
accompaniment of the music. The lob
sters turned green with envy when
they heard the delicious trem5les of the
song of the Sea Shelf floating over
the heads Of the audience And as a
green lobster Is not good to look upon
trouble resulted.
AS to the real reason why Andrist
and Levy disa greed and new orches-
ira was hired about a month ago, the
employees Of the establishment have
little to say.
But the patrons contend that delicate
music did not rhyme with the food and
that therefore there was trouble.
one man declares that the first thing
that called his attention to the dis
cord of supper and music was when he
noticed woman attempting to eat
spaghetti in time with the playing of
the soldiers Chorus from Faust,
with the result that the Music was
about six notes ahead of the spaghetti
and constantly increasing its lead, while
the woman ate manfuly on.
Stein Song Did II
Next he felt jolt himself when he
went to the cafe and ordered butter
milk, being on the water wagon. only
to loose his seat and fall back to
temptation when he heard the orches-
ira strike up the stein song. The milk
didn't taste right while that song was
being played and 1T dispeased the one
guest while it rhymed with the hun
dred others who were drinking bev-
erages generally dispensed in stems.
The playing of Speak to Me Only
with Thine Eyes" awakened unpleas-
ant memories i'm the breast of one
man whose wife had used the same
expression on him the night before
when, after having kissed her. he tried
to tell her that he had not been drink
ing.
And so the trouble went from bad to
worse and although the music was
i'm itself some of the most delightful
ever played in Los Angeles and was
exactly what certain of the guests
called for. trouble eventually grew out
of it and then came the bust up.
So Prof. Andrist wants the money as
damages for the broken contract, con-
tending that he would make that much
if he was retained for the remainder of
the year.

ORCHESTRA LEADER TAKES
TROUBLES TO COURT
Apparently Diners at Levy's Tried to
Keep Time With the Strains.
Prof. Andrist Wants s72s6
Damages on Contract

The sweet strains of the overture
from civilian Tell did not combine
favorably with the careful mastlcation
of French bread, and several patrons
in trying to keep time choked like
wise the delicate trills of the sextette
from, Lucia" failed to harmonize with
onions, and the patrons became dis
turbed. When the milk was served
the orchestra is alleged to have played
"Bubbling Spring" and the suggestion
caused CONSERVATION at Levy's restau-
rant.
Trouble resulted, trouble of that
character where teeth are clnched and
yards of "spaghett" twist and unravel
in its emotion.
1t was war war between Prof. G. F.
Andrist, one of the cleverest musicians
in the country, and his orchestra and
Managers AL Levy and Christopher of
the Levy Cafe, and Andrist was told
to go.
Sacre. It was most terrible and suits
for $72s6.23 was filed yesterday in the
superior court against the Levy COM
pany.
Andrist. according to his statements
in his suit, was employed by Levy to
play at the restaurant each night i'm
the week for minor consideration of
5000 per week.
Three Months Delay
The contract began on December Is
of last year and the restaurant did not
open until three months later. That
was the first sore spot and Andrist
asks a few shekels for being compelled
to remain idle during those weeks.
Then Andrist began to perform and
his music charmed the stuffed cells so
that they rose from the plates on the
