ALLEGED PERJURER
HELD UNDER BONDS
c. M. LINCOLN MUST ANSWER
CHARGE
Attorney Asks Discharge of Prisoner
On Grounds That Action Was
Not Material to Outcome
of Trial

The preliminary examination of c. M
Lincoln, charged with perjury, occupied
most Of the day in Justice E. e. Selph'e
court yesterday. Many witnesses who
had been subpoenaed from Catalina island
by the prosecution were called upon to
give testimony.
Lincoln was a witness in the divorce
suit of Mrs. Augusta d. Hurth against <.
c. Hurth, to be tried at the close of the
holidays. 1t was in a deposition taken
bcfore a notary public that Lincoln is
said to have perjured himself.
Mrs Hurth alleged cruelty as one OF
the charges in her complaint. One of the
cruel acts charged against her husband
was his alleged statement that she had
been intimate with men at Avalon, Cata-
lima island, where she visited with a
friend, Mrs. Verona Whann. Lincoln was
one of the men supposed to have paid
Mrs Hurth attentions during her stay at
Avalon.
Lincoln stated in his deposition he never
saw or was with Mrs. Hurth during her
stay at the island.
Mrs. Whann would not make positive
statement when placed on the witness
stand Yesterday, but said she could not
remember seeing Lincoln and Mrs. Hurth
together
A number of other witnesses from Ava
lon asserted they had seem Lincoln In the
company Of Mrs Hurth and Mrs. Whann
during September at Avalon and other
places were mentioned where they had
heen seen together.
Miss Margaret Grant. clerk in Hunt
curio store. testified that Lincoln had been
in the curio store several times in COM
pany with the women and had cashed q
| check there which had been returned.
The refusal of the Los Angeles bank to
pay the check was due. 1t is said, to an
| attachment placed against Lincoln's ac-
| count by his wife.
Tony Fratus, a boatman at the island
| known as 'Tony the Greek" Identified
Lireoln as a man he saw with the two
| women in question at Avalon during Sep
| tember II had just brought in big
| haul of fish and Lincoln and the women
" vere standing on the wharf looking at
| them when | noticed them for the first
| time" said Tony.
other witnesses identified Lincoln, not
wfthstanding the fact that he has since
shaven off his mustache.
Lincoln and companion, whose name
| cannot be learned, are supposed to have
visited at the Grand View hotel, where
the women had room.
Lincoln's name does not appear on the
register at the hotel but the detectives
in charge of the case claim the true
names were erased and other substituted
Attorney Axtele asked for the dis
charge of the defendant on the ground
that whether his statement was true OF
false it would not constitute perjury un-
less 1t were material to the outcome OF
the trial.
He submitted the case on this conten-
ton Judge Selph held the alleged false
testimony was material and held Lincoln
under $1,000 bail for trial in the superior
court.

thht he was just getting on train,

he be imprisoned until the further
