ist Joseph Balls puts i'm an appearance
very shortly the man known TO the
police as James Davis and now Ian
gushing in the city lookup is likely to
go free. James is the individual who
was captured on the electric car going
from Pasadena to Los Angeles yester-
day and accused by Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Balls, claiming Detroit as their
home, Of stealing a diamond pin from
Balls cravat and passing it on to
confederate who in turn made his es-
cape.
Today the Detroit gentleman, who
was said to be stopping somewhere In
Pasadena, forgot to appear at police
headquarters and make complaint
against the prisoner. Then, too, friends
of the prisoner made their appearance
in Los Angeles and sent a lawyer to
the Crown City to see that Justice was
done, meaning the release of the man
under arrest
Davis still stops at the city bastle,
but seems pretty well satisfied at the
prospects of his release. There
seems to be a suspicion that Tourist
Balls does not intend pushing the case
against the arrested man, fearing that
he will be delayed by the event longer
than he cares to stop in this section.

est are arranged for the enjoyment of

Auto Drivers Drunk

cred a great touring car with five
drunken young men trying all sorts of
crazy stunts on the vacant business
thoroughfares of the city at 2 o'clock
this morning and made many efforts
to arrest the occupants of the car.
But the speed was too great for them
and the venturesome driver would sud-
denly shoot the car up dark alleyways
and make long detours appearing sud-
denly in another quarter until it looked
as though there must be a half dozen
speeding cars instead of but one At
last the great car shot up side alley
and landed in the Robertson garage.
Here the officers waylaid two tipsy
young bloods who seemed to belong to
the offending car. But the darkness
of the night made it impossible to iden-
tify the men certainly and so a charge
of drunk and disorderly was lodged
against them.
They very sensibly deposited SIS cash
for their appearance al court, owned
to the elastic names of James Smith
and John Kelly and disappeared, prob
ably to join their three companions
who had escaped arrest.
The men did not show up in court
this morning and the money was de-
clared forfeited.
