FIND EVIDENCE
is insufficient 7
Woman and Man Held on Charge oi
Stealing Diamond Stud Released.
May Be Given Suspended
Sentences

Aline Shields and E. j. Pickering
were released from custody yesterday
by Justice Frederickson because of the
insufficiency of evidence presented
against them.
Aline Shields was charged with grand
larceny and Pickering with receiving
stolen property. Miss Shields, whose
real name is Aline Robinson, was said
to have stolen a diamond stud worth
1925 from Bill Oldridge, an employe of
the Mineral saloon, First and Main
streets. The theft occurred at the Man
haitian house. The woman is alleged TO
have passed the diamond to Pickering,
who gave it to a third party. Later
Pickering gave the detectives note
telling where the stud could be found.
At the trial yesterday morning tho
witnesses failed to prove things salts
factorily to the counrt, and after nine
days Imprisonment the two suspects
were released.
Early in the afternoon Pickering and
Miss Shields were rearrested on a
vagrancy charge by Detectives Murray
and Moore. They were arraigned be-
fore Justice Austin and pleaded guilty.
They were ordered to appear for SEN
tence at o'clock this afternoon. Later
they were released on $5 bail each. 1t
is not thought probable that the two
will appear for sentence. If they should
the officers say they will be given
"floaters' and told to get out of town.

BUSINESS MAN
DIES IN PARIS
A. FUSENOT SUCCUMBS TO
Was Consular Agent In Los Angeles
and Owned One of the Biggest
Stores on Broad
way

A. Fusenot, for the last ten years
consular agent of France in Los An
geles and president of the A. Fusenot
company, proprietors of the Vile de
Paris, is dead in Paris.
The word reached Los Angeles
through a cable received early yester-
day morning from Mrs. Fusenot, who
was with him at the time of his death.
Though a Frenchman, Mr.. Fusenot
has spent many years in California,
having come here in 1857. He was 81
wears of age and came to Los Angeles
from San Francisco, where he was con-
nected with a we'll known firm for
many years.
when he came to Los Angeles and
started a store on Broadway many peo-
nle laughed at his optimism and pre-
dicted he would be bankrupt in few
months. He evidently had more fore
sight than some of his critics and with
the assistance of a few trusted men
he brought his business to its present
pronortiOns. Some of those men are
now partners in the firm.
Mr. Furenot left Los Angeles early n
February, accompanied by his wife.
He was in i'll health, brought on par
tiallv by close attention to work dur
ino many years. and he went in search
of health and rest. Instead of his con-
dition improving it has been growing
steadily worse until it became neces-
sary Monday to perform an operation
on his stomach.
His constitution was unable to with
stand the ordeal and he died soon after
going on the operating table.
He leaves a wife and daughter, Ger
main, who was recently married, and
two sons, who are in Paris, where they
have a large notion store.
Immediately upon receipt of the
cable announcing his death, the dl-
rectors of the A. Fusenot company
closed the store as a token of respect
and it will not be opened until Fri

TROUBLE FOLLOWS
POLICE OFFICERS
SERGEANT LONG IS LATEST
VICTIM
Arm Is Broken While Trying to Step
Off Street Car-ls but One in
Long List of Acct
dents

Dan Long, sergeant of the Los An
geles police force, slipped on Spring
street yesterday afternoon and broke
his forearm just above the wrist.
Long is a big fellow, weighing about
235 pounds, but his weight is no handi-
cap to him, for he is one of the best
athletes on the force. He was going
to the Los Angeles Athletic club
rooms just after going off duty yes
terday afternoon after o'clock. He
signaled the motorman to stop at
Mercantile place, and when the car
kept on going he jumped. His feet
slipped and he fell heavily to the pave
ment. AS he fell he put his right arm
behind him and it received the full
shock of his fall.
The injured arm was set by the
doctor of the Athletic club. 1t is
needless to say he will not be on duty
for some time.
Longs injury is the latest one in
long list. The force has had more
than it's share of mishaps in the last
six months. Sergeant Carpenter heads
the list of recent injuries. He at
tempted to get on a University car on
Wesley avenue, slipped and fell under
the wheels. His leg was crushed and
for a time it was feared it would have
to be amputated. He has partially re-
covered and will be on duty in the
near future.
Patrolman Killed
The next misfortune occurred when
Patrolman Clyde May was shot by
highwayman on East Adams street.
The wound was in the shoulder and
May died a few days later.
Sergeant Butler sprained his ankle
while pursuing a man who was trying
to escape.
Lieutenant William Murray had the
misfortune to be kicked by camel
which he was trying to ride in the
Shriners' circus. His right arm was
broken and he is just now able to get
his uniform sleeve on the arm.
Patrolman Ingraham started after
a fleeing robber, fell and sprained his
back. Detective Tom Rico was thrown
from a car and injured his back and
arm. During Fiesta Detective Tom
Ziegler was shot in the shoulder by
man wanted on highway robbery
charge.
Patrolman Humphreys was thrown
from his motorcycle at Kip and Sew
enth street last week while trying to
overtake a speeding automobil1st and
his knee badly injured. On Saturday
afternoon Patrolman Archie Mercer
dropped dead in front of his home.
The force is wondering where the
hoodoo is going to end. From a study
of these events you can see it is not
all joy to be a policeman.

Wedding Is a Surprise

Entirely unexpected was the wedding
Monday afternoon in Philadelphia Of
DR.. H. Bert Ellis, a prominent physi-
clan of Los Angeles, and Mrs. Florence
E. Chandler. The news will come as
a surprise to many friends, as when
the doctor left Los Angeles a week or
so ago it was ostensibly for the pur-
pose of attending the sessions of the
American Medical association in New
York, and he said nothing whatever
about his coming nuptials. Mrs.
Chandler has lived in Los Angeles for
about six years and DR.. and Mrs. Ellis
will return here. where they will make
their home, Immediately after the con-
Vention closes.

at a musicale and tea given yesterday
afternoon at her charming home on
Monta Vista street.
The program, in charge of Mrs. Mary
Colby, included many delightful vocal
and instrumental numbers and it was
followed by installation of the new

home was beautifully decorated with
pink sweet peas, pink roses and pink
carnations, combined with maidenhair
ferns and asparagus plumosus. The
blossoms lent dainty touch of color
to the tea tables and were used in
great profusion throughout the roms.
About seventy-five women were en-
tertained.
