LAWYER, DEFENDING SELF,
CALLS SELF AS WITNESS
j. D. Reymert Asks Fellow Attorney
to Cross-Examine Him--Justce
Stevens WlthhoIds
Sentence

Hearing in the case of Attorney James
d. Reymert, accused of subornation OF
perjury, was terminated yesterday morn
ing, but no decision was rendered by
Justice A. l.. Stevens, who postponed the
matter for consideration.
Reymert is accused of perjuring him
self in the testimony of two Mexicans,
Octaviano Armenia and Juan Cervantes,
over the ability of these two to identify
a certain pocketbook.. The case against
Reymert has been going on for several
days, Deputy District Attorney John
North prosecuting the case, Whine Rey-
inert has been defending himself.
Yesterday he surprised everyone by
asking Attorney North to take the stand
as witness. North proved a very un.
satisfactory witness, however. Then 6
new sensation was sprung when Attor-
ney Reymert took the stand as his own
witness. AS there was no one to ques-
tion him and as it would have been in
consistent for him to question himself
he looked around the court room to see
who could question him. Just then At
torney Wills entered and the defendant
asked him to proceed with the question
ing.
Mr.. Wills said he knew nothing of the
case beyond the principles involved and
proceeded to put the witness through a
course of questioning that was a sur
prise to the court and every one present.
Juan Cervantes, one of the witnesses of
the case, was arrested on suspicion. At
torney Reymert and friends of the de-
fendant say the arrest of Cervantes is
merely an attempt to intimidate an ig-
norant Mexican in order to scare him into
testifying against Reymert. This North
denies,

CRASHES INTO CARRIAGE
Occupants of Vehicle Are Badly Hurt,
but French Counts Are
Good Samari-
tans

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Count Frank and
Count Felix Hayos, two French noble
men, brothers. who have been visiting
America for several months, and their
companion, Miss Madeline Howard of 9

terfering with their driver, Casper Hoff-
man of 1853 Meserole street, Brooklyn.

when the automobile smashed into Hoff-
mans carriage at the Avenue e corner.
The crash upset the vehicle and tossed
Hoffman and his wife into the air They
were seriously injured in falling and lay
unconscious.
The two noblemen sprang out and went
to the aid of the Hoffmans. They carried
them to the automobile and made them
comfortable in the big rear seat, Miss
Howard aieing them. Meanwhile James
McKe,way, the chauffeur, went on hunt
for a doctor and found DIR. Edward
Thompson of 40S Dittmars street. DR..
Thompson advised their being removed
to his home. The Frenchmen offered the
machine as an ambulance, and while 1t
was carrying the injured husband and
wife to the doctors house they walked
alongside and at, the house helped carry
Hoffman and his wife inside.
The chauffeur was arrested and the
noblemen gave cash bail for him. They
remained at the doctors home until they
had done everything possible to aid the
Hoffmans and then departed, leaving be-
hind their cards. Hoffman was the more
seriously hurt. His left arm and hip
were broken and he suffered internal
injuries.

MAN EATS GRAIN AND
FEEDS HORSE ICE CREAM
Lands in Asylum and Now Constable
Tries to Get Rid of Animal
with lndges-
tion

In vain hope of getting rid of a
worthless and ancient horse with a pro-
digious appetite Constable W. H. Ham
bin yesterday acceded to the request
of Deputy District Attorney G.. Ray
Horton and became guardian for the
owner of the animal, F. L. Laubender,
now confined to the Patton insane asy-
lum.
Laubender possessed an idea that he
was a horse and that his horse was a
man. Following out this fancy he cavort-
ed and frisked around the country in
the neighborhood of Glendora, and was
finally arrested by Constable Hamblin
while eating straw in a pasture after
having forced his horse to swallow soda
pop and ice cream.
Laubender had carried on this play for
some time until the horse had developed
a case of chronic indigestion and was
becoming i'll.
When the owner was sent to Patton
the constable took the horse and tried
to dispose of it. He found purchaser
but could not give a bill of sale.
Now that he Is legal guardian the
constable can make bill of sale but
he has so far found no one who will take
the horse.

JOHN BRYsoN
BRYSON'S WIDOWS
ORDERS OBEYED
MRS. LAMBERToN LOSES FIGHT
OVER BODY

On an order signed by Mrs. John A5ry-
son, the body of her dead husband was
turned over to Orr G. Edwards by Bresee
Bros, undertakers, yesterday afternoon,
and is now being prepared for burial by
the former firm.
Shortly before the death of the aged
capitalist, at O'Clock yesterday morning.
booy be sent to Bresee Bros. in case of
his DEATH For years he has been friend
ly with the managers of that establish
ment.
After Bryson's death Mrs. Gladys Lam
berton, the woman said to be responsible
for Bryson's leaving his family, and who
was with him at the time of his death,
notified Bresee Bros.
When Mrs. Bryson was notified OF her
husbands death she requested to know
where his body had been taken. Upon
being informed she insisted that Orr &
Edwards take the body and have full
charge Of the funeral arrangements.
1t is claimed the members of the Bry-
son family had received information which
led them to believe they would be denied
admission to the funeral, and it was for
this reason they had demanded the
change.
1t is claimed that Mrs Lamberton, even
after being informed Bryson was dying,
refused to allow his children to see him.
John Bryson came to Los Angeles in
September 1880 He had amassed a con-
siderable fortune in the lumber business
in Washington, and was also the owner
of large hotel there.
Becomes Prominent
Soon after his arrival here his influence
began to be felt in the financial world,
and he was soon looked upon as one of
the leading men in the business world.
He purchased considerable property ard
at the time of his death was the owner
of much down town real estate.
In 1888, in company with George HI
Bonebrake, he constructed the Bryson
block at Second and Spring streets. This
building cost 900. cit was f1ve and
one-half stories with a frontage OF 2O
feet ON Spring street and 10S on Second.
year or so ago the building was re-
modelled and is now seven stories nigh.
1t is valued at 100000.
In 1888 Bryson was elected mayor OF
Los Angeles and served a short term. AT
it's expiration he again entered the lum-
ber business and was the owner OF sew
eral large lumber yards.
About twelve years ago MS name pe-
came involved with that OF Mrs. GLADYS
Lamberton, a we'll known and beautiful
woman. Mrs. Lamberton claimed to be
simply Bryson's nurse, but her presence
was objected to by Bryson's wife and
children and at last he and his family
separated During the remainder of his
life he kept Mrs. Lamberton with him
constantly.
Besides his widow, Bryson is survived
by three sons and one daughter. They
are Isaac H., James f. and John M. Bry-
son, and Mrs. Margaret Jane Krause All
the children live in Los Angeles. -
Five other children of the family are
dead. while there are a number of grand
children living One of the latter is
Frank Bryson. public administrator.
The funeral will be private. lnterment
will be in the family vault at Rosedale
cemetery.

"But the principal would have no words
