BUCK WILL RETURN TO
BE SENTENCED AGAIN
SLAYER OF MRS. cANFIELD MUST
PAY PENALTY
Governor Will Not Intervene to Save
Life, as the Crime Was
Too Brutal and De-
liberate

Morris Buck, the convicted murderer
of Mrs. c. A. Garfield wife of the mil
lionaire oil king, must die and in a
very short time he will be brought back
to Los Angeles to be resentenced by
Judge Smith of the criminal depart
ment of the superior court, who first

Bucks crime was widely commented
on at the time of it's occurrence and
was one of the most fiendish ever re-
corded in the criminal annals of the
city. On January 90, 1907, the con-
victed man sent a note to Mrs. Garfield
asking that $260O be given him as he
needed the money badly.
He then called in person at the Can
field residence, 500 South Alvarado
street, only to learn that Mrs. Garfield
was not in. He sat and waited for her
return. Finally her carriage was
driven to the door and Mrs Canfield
alighted and was Immediately accosted
by Buck
He insisted on the payment of the
note he had sent her. She ignored him
and was on the point of entering the
house when Buck pulled a revolver and
shot her several times to be sure the
deed was done.
Spectators rushed to the Garfield
residence but Buck kept them at bay
with his revolver. Then Special Of
ficer Foster came upon the scene and
Buck, seeing him. dropped his weapon
and fled. He was captured after
short chase in Westlake park.
The trial lasted several days and At
torney A. D. Warner appointed by the
state to defend the man, made great
fight to save him against the odds OF
Overwhelming evidence and the plea OF
insanity.
Now nothing but the Intervention of
the governor can save the life OF Nor

RAVES ABOUT HIS
RACE TRACK LIFE
ONCE GREAT JOCKEY DERANGED
MENTALLY
Doctors Say Fred Powers Will Recover
If He Takes Long Rest.
Known on Many
Tracks

Look at 'em go! Whip her up, Jones;
Law the bat on her. Get down in your
saddle, Jones'. get down in your saddle!'
excitedly shouted Fred Powers, formerly
one of the best known jockeys in the
country, as he clung to the bars of one
of the windows in the receiving hospital
yesterday and peered through the narrow
opening.
What are you doing there?" cried the
nurse, who had been attracted by the
shouting and ran into the room.
1.-The best horse race of the century"
cried Powers. "Get up and watch 'em
run. Jones will win this race if he rides
right. Go to it, Jones, go to It,"
Powers was taken to the police station
by officers early yesterday morning. He
had been found in his room at 5331s South
Spring street When the officers entered
the place he was raving loudly of races
in which he had ridden In the past.
Seated astride the foot of the bed and
grasping a pair of make-believe reins he
was shouting to his supposed horse and
beating the foot of The bed with small
stick.
The young man was placed in the re-
ceiving hospital for examination. The
physicians said all he required was long
rest and he would be able to leave the
place.
After they left the room Powers arose
from the bed and went to the window
imagining that he was at a track and
that race was going on.
Powers was formerly prominent at all
the large tracks in the country when
races were going on. He was known as
one of the best jockeys to be had and
demanded large fees for his work. In 1898
he ceased riding and took up the work of
a salesman. Since that time he has made
his living by acting in that capacity.

JURY DLSAGREES IN
MILK Bucket CASE
CANNOT DECIDE If ASSAULT WAS
COMMITTED
Fight Between Ranchers Subject of
Controversy in DoWney and
Attendance at Trial
Is Large

A Jury in the superior court remained
for. two solid hours behind locked doors
yesterday trying to determine whether or
not a man who had struck another man
with an ordinary milk bucket was guilty
of the crime of assault with intent to kill.
After celebrating for that time the jurors
finally filed into the court room, where
the foreman solemnly read the recision of
disagreement that they had arrived at
The principals in the case were Frank
NJ Jones and Lous Goss, both ranchers
in the vicinity of Downey.
On March IA last Goss, who is stated to
have been very drunk, walked into the
Enclosure where Jones was milking his
cows and began to argue with that gen
tleman about letting his cows run all over
his pasture, claiming they were causing
considerable confusion among his own
cattle.
He told Jones that his negligence was
causing him to be very much concerned
over the fact that some of Jones' calves
which were to be were his own and not
Jones', as he could trace their ancestor
| back to his own stock.
Jones Grew Angry
Jones, it is said, grew very angry over
Goss statement and said he would bet
anything that all his prospective calves
were his own. The conversation became
heated.
Jones finally made sarcastic remark
about Goss' cattle, and that gentleman,
taking offense at it, said wall, Jones.
1 tell yer right now you can't talk to me
in such sort or fashion. I'm going to
whip you, by gollie" And at the same
moment actions were speaking louder than
words. Goss had hit Jones, and in the
heat of passion overturned the milk
-I,ir, f1O v,to rod
up the bucket and assaulted his assailant
in a telling manner
Part of the milk which had managed to
stay in the bucket during the overturning
now covered Goss face and clothes and
he received a blow on the arm which
caused him to vince considerably
Onrushing spectators saved the two
from doing each other any more injury.
They were separated and both skulked
away. Apparently that was the end of it,
as Jones took precaution to keep his cattle
within the boundary line of his own fence.
Later on, however, Goss was stricken
with paralysis and is now speechless.
Several spectators who witnessed the
scuffle are testifying in his favor. They
allege that Jones' attack on Goss was
murderous one and that 1t is a wonder
that Goss escaped more serious injury at
the time.
study, no recent case in the superior
court afforded as much opportunity. The
witnesses were nearly all ranch hands
ana their slow speech and manner, to-
gether with gestures, was more than
amusing One witness grew dramatic in
his description of the overturn of the
milk bucket. To him that event APP
peared of more Importance than the sad
fate of the principals. Jones will be tried
again in the near future.

but Officials Stand
Firm

court under $500 bonds after his arralgn-
ment in police court yesterday

mirez the young Mexican was seen to
steal a silver watch from the pocket of
Harry Kelly at the Salt Lake freight sta
ton August 10.

1T is interesting to note the following
contributions of the missions: San Miguel
offered 500 cattle; San Luis Obispo, 200
cattle; Santa Barbara, barrel of brandy;
San Diego, two barrels of white wine;
Pruisima Conception, six mules and 200
cattle; San Fernando, one barrel of
brandy; San Gabriel two barrels of
brandy; San Buena Ventura said it would
try to make up deficits or supply church
furniture. Thus the willingness of Los
Angeles to drink the brandy for which
they paid completed the structure, and

Committee Are Absent from
Los AngeIes-Third Says
No Action Taken

Quietly in Los Angeles police circles
a rumor has spread that the pay of
policemen will be cut shortly and that
it will be next year before the old scale
is resumed.
The finance committees difficulty in
making the city's revenue fit the pros
pective expenditures is given as the rea-
son. Last fiscal year the police depart
ment was heavily overdrawn.
Several councilmen who heard of the
prospective move visited the city hall
late yesterday afternoon to learn If the
finance committee had given out any
such hints
These councilmen said they believed
that they were sure of six votes in the
council which could be counted upon
to vote against any slicing of policemen's
pay.
Councilman Dromgold of the commit
tee was around the municipal building
for hours watching the proceedings OF
the fire commissioners. Councilmen Blan-
chard and Wallace, the other two mem
bers of the committee, are out OF the
city; hence no work could be done. Mr..
Dromgold said he had authorized no such
rumors as the police had heard.
