nent appointment but he had done no
more than talk 1t over with Sayles he
said
IF knew then what do know, I
would not want to be chief inspector
said Schwegel.
Not SO Ambitious Now
"Then you have gotten over that am
bition now?" interjected Commissioners
Young.
SchwegeI said solemnly to DR.. Haynes
that he did not ask Sayles ito with
draw in his favor at any time.
"All sayles told me was that he
wanted a position under the board, "
said the accused.
Secretary Spalding of the commits
sion testified that Sayles went to him
ten minutes after the famous inter-
view with Schwegel and repeated to
him practically what he testified to as
having taken place between him and
5chwegel.
Mrs. Bertha Harfen, relative of Mrs.
Schwegel, testified, supported on her
husbands arm. She was very nervous
and evidently in poor health.
She said Schwegel borrowed money
from her and after his store in Pasadena
burned, told her he was unable to pay
her, but would soon.
Then crying out that she could stand 1t
made her sick, she left the commission
room abruptly.
Schwegel protested against dragging
family affairs into the case.
Chef Louis Wolff of the Windsor res
taurant, 141 West Fifth street, said he
regarded Schwegel as mo gentleman.
Rice Kernels Not Maggots
Wolff said he came into his kitchen
without introducing himself, picked up
rice kernels and said they were maggots.
"He came in here mad, infuriated and
ran around said Wolff. II was white
washing the kitchen and of course it was
not clean. When 1 told the boy to get
the broom and clean out, this man said:
"'Never mind; am cleaning up here
now"
It developed afterward that the Wind
sor people were fined in court on
Schwegel's testimony.
Fraser Allerdyce, an ice cream maker,
was Sayles' final witness at the afternoon
session He told of occurrences where
Schwegel had been insistent on cleanli-
ness.
Didn't you try to urge the man at the
Santa Fe eating place, run by Mrs. Val
entine, to stand by Sayles in this caseT
asked Schwegel.
NO" said Allerdyce. "I talked to the
bartender-that man over there. think. =
He pointed at Bakery inspector Cdlu-
| we'll amid general laughter
| The evening session was devoted prin-
cipally to showing how the Liberal Al
lance had brought Schwegel into public
notice.
Liberal Alliance Politics
| Sayles' witnesses testified that Schwegel
was expelled as secretary because he re-
| fused to give an itemized statement con-
cerning certain financial transactions.
He was charged with doing press agent
| work and with soliciting campaign ad-
vertfsing from the Republican county
| committee for German, French and
| italian journals and with intending tc
hold back a commission for himself
| Pinned down by commissioners to ac-
curate testimony as to whether Schwege
was expelled for grating, withholding
money acting as press agent contrary &c
authority or refusing to give fuller de-
tails about himself, not one gave tbs
legal reason.
| Fernand Parmentier, who succeeded him
| as secretary, Druggist Lopozich, A
| Apffel and M. Raymond testified as tc
| the incidents in the Liberal Alliance in
| ternal warfare in which Amaury Mars
who recently left Los Angeles under
strange circumstances, came in for un'
| complimentary illusions.
