SAYS LAW CANNOT MAKE
HER PRODUCE TIMEPIEcE
Woman Sued by Music Company Re.
fuses to Bring Property to Court
and Point Puzzles
Justice

Acting upon the advice of her attor'
ney, Mrs. Albert G. Thurston of Pasa-
dena refused to produce watch in
court yesterday and says she does not
intend to hand it over. The watch Is
wanted by the Bartlett Music company,
who holds q judgment against Mrs.
Thurston for $322.2S for piano and
costs of suit.
There was no property to levy on ex-
cept a watch. Mrs. Thurston denies
she has the watch in her possession
but SAYS she knows where 1t is and
could get it If she wanted to. Attor-
neys for the Bartlett Music company
insisted yesterday on an order being
issued compelling Mrs. Thurston to pro-
duce the watch.
Attorneys for the defense argued that
because she did not have the watch In
her possession and because some one
else did have it the article could not be
attached A fine point of law is in
volved in the contention and Judge
Summerfield took the matter under
advisement.
The law provides the court may issue
attachments against property in pos
session or under control of the owner.
1t is argued in the present case that
Mrs. Thurston can control the watch
and should be made to produce 1t. On
the other hand it is contended that the
person holding the watch is acting as
bailee and Mrs. Thurston does not have
the watch under actual control even
though she can get it If she so wishes.

Fifteen years in the penitentiary was
the sentence given yesterday to Nazarino
Loturco, the Italian boy convicted Of the
murder of 5-year-old Mary San Marco.
Judge Smith pronounced the sentence.
When asked If he had anything to say
before being sentenced the Italian boy
called for an interpreter and tried to re-
move all suspicion from his father. He
said his confession that his father had
threatened to cut his throat if>he did not
kill the whole San Marco family was
cooked up by Josephine San Marco, who
wanted to shield her lovers Nazarino
Loturco and Joe Desparti, and who hated
the old man, Francisco Loturco
Judge G. c. McComas, acting district
attorney, says he takes no stock in the
confession, and that the elder Loturco will
be still held to answer for his completely
In the murder.
Nazarino Loturco maintained to the last
that he had fired into the air to frighten
Desparti his rival for the hand of jose
phine San Marco. He claimed Desparu
had a gun and wanted to kill Francisco
Loturco.
The story is one of fierce italian love-
hatred and revenge At the last Lotureo
lost the bold front which he had main
tained previously and was greatly agi-
tated when his sentence was pronounced.

Makes Trip of Old Countries In Sixty

Less Than Fifty Miles
of Poor Roads

After an extended automobile tour
through England, Scotland and the lead
ing coun tries of Europe, o. T. Johnson,
the well known local banker and bust
ness man, accompanied by his wife and
son, r. o. Johnson, returned to Los An
geles during the week..
Mr.. ar d Mrs. A. p. Johnson, o. T.
Johnson Jr. and p. M. johnson Jr. and
Miss Candice Johnson. companions of o.
T. johnson on the trip, will return to
Los Angeles in the near future, but at
presen, are visiting friends in Canada.
I'VE made the trip through Europe in
two &C horsepower touring cars" said
Mr.. johnson last night. 1.-THE trip was a
delightful one, and this method of travel
has become the most popular one with
hundreds of tourists who visit the old
world each year.
"One thing which makes automobiling
so pleasant is the excellent condition in
which the roads are kept We visited
England, France, Germany and Italy and
during our entire trip did not find more
than fifty miles of poor roads And we
found that even where there were poor
roads they were being repaired as fast as
possible. 1t appears to be the rule in
the old country to keep the roads in good
condition by constant repairs, and the
farmers there seem to realize the bene-
fits they derive from expending time and
money on their highways.
1--WE are all glad to be back in Los
Angeles, however, and even after seeing
the beautiful palaces, ruins and scenry
of the old world we think our own little
Southern California city as about all that
could be desired"

Frenchmen had got at me and I was
doing my level best to down the biggest
one, when a soldier of the line forces
hit the big fellow across the head with
a belt buckle and he dropped like an OK.
The Frenchmens horses had stampeded
and when a battalion of infantry had
formed around the crowd and arrested
all hands we could not find the men who
caused the trouble. Some one found the
big F'renchman who was struck with
the buckle and he proved to be the Off
Ger with dispatches, and then we knew
that q drumnead court martial would
hang someone for that blow.

to Livadia, where we were put on a

was impossible to prove who caused the
tt ouble. The Frenchman was cut by a
buckle, and as neither my squad or my
self wore such belt we escaped judg-
ment. In shifting around to man the
various transport ships I soon got back
to Liverpool. From there 1 wasted no
time ir getting to America, for 1 never

Skeesicks suggested we go up and find
out what 1t was. The guard was asleep
somewhere under the platform and no
one disturbed us in our upward trip. We

sat upon one of them to gather our wits.
In five minutes or Skeesicks was asleep,
