SENSATION IN
L0SEE'S TRIAL
STENoeRAPHER IN ANTERooM
HEARS DEFENDANT TALK
District Attorney Explains Transac-
ton to Court - Prosecution VIII
Finish Case Today and Former
Trustee viii Testify

Accusing District Attorney John D.
Fredertcks of having adopted an un-
usual method Of procedure when he in
terviewed j. B. Losee in his private
office before that Individual had been
taken before magistrate for arralgn-
ment, Attorney lie Compile Davis
brought the trial of j. b. Losee, former
trustee of Long Beach, to an abrupt
adjournment yesterday afternoon.
The examination of witnesses had
dragged out during the day and the
manager of the Atlantic, Gulf & Pacific
Construction company had been on the
stand for a considerable length of time
telling of the transaction whereby he
alleged he turned over $1,000 to Losee
out of the funds for the building of
the new pleasure pavilion at Long
Beach.
Late in the afternoon the district at
torney's stenographer was called to
the stand. She was to be the last wit
ness for the prosecution and the de-
Tense was then to take up its case.
Stenographer on Stand
The young woman took the witness
stand and Capt. Fredericks asked her
to read from her shorthand notes the
conversation between him and Losee in
his private office the night that Losee
was arrested.
Attorney lie Compte Davis objected
and stated that proper foundation had
not been laid for confession. Capt.
Fredericks stated that the conversa-
ton had not been a confession.
About that time Losee told his at
torneys that he and Fredericks had
been the only people in the room at
the time of the conversation.
Then the attorneys alleged that the
had been concealed in the
room while the conversation had been
going on.
Judge Smith insisted on knowing the
full details of the case and stated that
If the man had been taken to Capt.
Frederick's office after his arrest and
before going before a magistrate and
had there made confession the case
was certainly remarkable.
capt. Fredericks, explain all the de-
tails of that transaction to me-" said
the court.
Captain Fredericks Explains
81 understand the duties of the dis
trict attorney and I understand them
well,' said Fredericks, as he shook
his finger at the court and the at
torneys. SIT is the duty of the dis
trict attorney to detect crime by any
honorable and honest way he sees fit.
"a warrant for the arrest of j. B.
Losee was sworn out by a private citi-
zen and my detectives arrested the
man at Long leach and brought him
to my office. There 1 had a conversa-
ton with the man but there was no
made. That is all there was
to the transaction"
Deputy McComas cited various au-
thorities of similar cases and the court
agreed to let the conversat ton go in |
after he had read it over.
An adjournment was then taken un-
Ill this morning at 10 o'clock.
1t is stated that the district attor-
1ey's stenographer was not in the |
'oom with Losee at the time of the
but was in a small room
adjoining that of Capt. Fredericks.
The prosecution will finish it's case,
charging Losee with having accepted a |
'ribe, and then Losee will probably
AXE the stand in his own behalf.

Wind o. the Hills

All day. the burning heat;
All day, the sun
Shines from a cloudless A<y:
But, when days done,
Forgot our troubles are.
Gone are all ills;
When the cool wind comes town,
Wind o. the hills!
Soft as a mothers love,
Cool, calm and mild.
AS. DER a cradle, she
Kisses her child,
So to our tired souls
1t sings, and thrills;
Fresh from its mountains high.
Wind o. the hills!
Wind O. the towering height
Where the SHOWS dwell.
Long is the weary day
All, who can tell?
But with the folding night,
Peace our souls fills;
Thy GOODNESS lulls to sleep,
Wind O. the hills!

In Charge of Officer

Dingley smiled when his sentence was
pronounced by Judge Rose. He was not
locked up. but was placed in charge of
an othcer until habeas corpus proceed
ings could be obtained.
1t is the intention of Dingiey and his
attorney to make this test case. Mr..
Mckeeby said yesterday that he be-
lleved that the higher courts would de-
eide that the law is not valid. This
OPINION is shared by a number of other
attorneys. Should the law be proved to
be unconstitutional the speed of auto
mobiles will in the future be controlled
by q city ordinance.
Since Billy Nevin was given a fine
OF 500 after long-drawn- trial for

prisonment as well as a fine is impera-
tive where a person is found guilty for
the third time of exceeding the speed
limit fixed by law.

First, that the law is class legislation.
