PASS GOLD COINS
THATLACK RING
is IMPERFECT BUT NOT BAD
MONEY, AND REDEEMABLE
Secret Service Men Hear Of Number
Of Cases Of "cracked" S. Gold
Pieces, Due to Flaws
in MintIng


In Pasadena and some parts of Los
Angeles few complaints of bad gold
coins being circulated have been made
and the secret service officers took
prompt notice.
Chief George Hazen of the California
division said yesterday that most of
these proved to be merely cases OF
cracked gold.
The coins are good, but in the process
of minting they developed flaws which
-..-.ed the ring of the metal and only
experts could tell what the trouble was.
Several of these were recently taken
by tellers at Pasadena banks. These
telIers Immediately returned good money
and assured their patrons that they
would exchange them for good gold coins
later.
In one instance a prominent butcher
of Pasadena nearly lost one of his oldest
customers by the indiscreet action of
his cashier refusing to take cracked"
S. gold piece and intimating that the
csutomer was trying to pass bad money
merely because the coin did not have the
true ring.
The owner of the shop happened to
come in, automatically offered to go to
the bank with the innocent customer and
there both learned to their astonishment
that the coin would be accepted. AS the
man was the father of nine children his
trade was worth having.
Chief Hazen said last night that in
minting the tremendous pressure exerted
on the coins In molding caused cracks
sometimes. The treasury redeems this
money and recoins it,

FIND GUTHRIE GUILTY
ON CHARGE OF FORGERY
STRANGE STORY DOES NOT WIN
YOUTH FREEDOM
Evidence Against Young Man Is Over
wheImins and Jury Returns
Verdict After Short
DcIiberation

Maintaining his innocence to the last
against Overwhelming evidence. Frank l..
Guthrie was tried yesterday on the charge
of forgery and was found guilty after the
jury had been out only short time.
The testimony Of the accused man was
series of denials of. the charges against
him. Several residents Of Alhambra tes-
titled that Guthrie had been there octo-
Der II trying to cash the check for ss5
which It is claimed he forged. Guthrie
maintained he had not been to Alhambra
that day and had not entered the premises
of the men in question
He admitted he had been to Alhambra
three times to trade horses. but said the
last visit was made in the latter part of
September. and he had not been there
since.
The question of the horse dealing
brought out a long series Of questions as
to where he had secured the various
horses he claimed to have bought. He
said he paid cash for some of them and
for others he gave part cash and a watch.
He admitted having had in his possession
Los Angeles herald., 1907-10-31

four watches at one time. These he
claimed to have brought from the east.
Time and again Deputy District Attor-
ney Paul Mccormick would try to get
him into tight place and make him con-
fess, but he came up each time with an
ievasive answer. Guthrie fatty denied
having had anything to do with the
forged check. thus contradicting the tes-
timony of other witnesses.
Attorneys are at loss to account fo-
the strange situation involved in the case.
Some were inclined to believe the man s
mind was affected. Deputy District At
torney Paul Mccormick. who has thor
oughly investigated the case. believes the
man is moral pervert who has de-
clared the innocense of the action until
he believes his statements to be true.
Guthrie was on parole sentence for a
former offense. His wife died some time
ago. leaving him two small children to
support. and the court gave him a pa
role sentence in order that he might
earn living for them. The man claims
to have worked hard at ranching and to
have conducted himself in an upright and
honest manner
Guthrie will come up before Judge
Smith for sentence next Saturday.

ASK SKIN TO
SAVE A LIFE
FRIENDS OF INJURED ITALIAN TO
CONTRIBUTE
EXTENSIVE SKIN GRATING TO
BE ATTEMPTED
Men and Women viii Give Pieces Of
CutlcIe In Hope That Opera
tIon viii Save Victims
Life

Residents Of the Italian quarter OF Los
Angeles are to be called upon to con-
tribute skin in the hope that the life OF
Frank Bruno, one of their countrymen,
can be saved.
Bruno suffered injuries yesterday which
1t is feared will cost his life, unless a
sufficient amount of skin to cover his
entire back and left arm can be secured
Bruno was employed in the refining de-
partment of the Cudahy Packing COM
pany. Macy street and Santa Fe avenue
He was tending the great watts in which
lard is rendered. While working there
yesterday afternoon Bruno suddenly lost
his footing and slipped downward into a
lower tank. As he fell portion of his
clothing caught the faucet through which
the lard runs, and large quantity of the
boiling grease flowed out on him before
he could escape.
witnesses of the accident rushed to
Bruno's aid and he was drawn from his
dangerous position. He was unconscious
when reached by his companions, and 1t
was feared he was dead. call was
turned In to the receiving hospital and
the ambulance was sent after the injured
man.
Ask Skin to Save Life
When Bruno was examined by the ply
sicians at the hospital it was at first
feared he would die before anything
could be done for him. His injuries were
bandaged, however, and after the man
was placed in bed he gradually grew
stronger. The physicians, after an exam
ination, decided the only way to save his
life would be to have a skin grating
operation performed, and word was sent
to the many friends OF the man in the
Italian neighborhood.
In answer to the inquiry of the physi-
clans word was taken to the police station
last night that nearly one hundred ltal-
ians had agreed to contribute pieces of
skin, and it is probable the operation
will be performed next week.
Bruno lived with his wife and family
at Gal Alpine street. Mrs. Bruno said
yesterday that to save her husbands life
she would contribute as much skin as the
physicians would take.
The doctors who examined Bruno say
it is impossibleN to estimate how much
skin will be necessary to cover the
wounds, but add that probably more will
be required than has ever before been
used in an operation Of that nature.

find no fault with you. In truth, II
seemed you were exceptionally we'll

facts leads me to take a different
view of your conduct.
"Tody Miller left dollar bill in his
desk. Two other boys saw it there
and told him they thought It would be
safe. The schoolhouse was found
locked this morning and the money
was gone. The only person who has
entered here since the others were
dismissed was"
You needn't say any more, Mr.
Brice," Tom interrupted. You think

say It right out? | tell you | didn't,
and / won't stay where people call me

With a sob in his throat, for, to tell
the truth, Tom was more hurt than
angry, he burst out of the room. Fol-
lowing wild desire to be alone, he
rushed off TO the woods.
Those in the little schoolroom had
barely recovered from their surprise
and Mr.. Brice was just about to start
in pursuit when little girl near the
old disused organ gave faint scream.
"Oh. teacher" she cried, "see the
mouse! There It goes in the organ" "
AS Miss Lane looked in the direc-

tail. which quickly disappeared. Rath-

with some effort, raised the back

tiny specimens of mousehood. AS she
