A distinguished California name was
enrolled yesterday with the jurors Sc
lected to try Frank J. Murphy, when
J. r. Leese, a native of Monterey, aged
20 years, was chosen TO sit in the box.
In spite of the three score and ten
years that he carried with him, Deese
appeared to be probably the most stall
wart citizen of the IL so far selected,
and there is little question but that
his answers to the examining attor-
neys were the elearest and most con-
else given in the Murphy trial during
the week it has been before Judge
Murasky.
Leese is the brother of Rosalie Leese,
the first child TO be born of a white
parent in San Francisco. Her birth
occurred in 1898, and in the follow
ing year the Murphy juror was born
at Monterey. His mother was a sister
to General Vallejo, and his father, an
early time California merchant, was
a member of the Sonoma bear flag
party and was, with General Vallejo,
arrested by General Fremont for com
plicity in the California republic up
rising. The father was a member of
the vigilance committee. but Leese, in
his examination. said that he preferred
cases to be tried in courts.
Leese said he was a member of the
Good Government lea que and had sup
ported District Attorney Langdon in
politics. but that his mind was free OF
prejudice in the Murphy case. Both
Assistant District Attorney Cook and
Bert Schlesinger for Murphy passed
the venerable juror, who flowing
gray beard was the only j.. cation of
his age.
Frank J. Murphy, the defendant, had
a more fiattering day before the ex-
pressed opinions of jurors than he has
had previously. 1t was Z. A s. Blake
who was in the bad books of the
veniremen. Otto Berman. however,
was adverse to Murphy, believing him
guilty. He was excused. A Ehrlish.

If he knew Frank j. Murphy said that
the only Murphy he knew was the
prize fighter. However, he said that
he could not believe Blake's testimony.

opinion against the district attorneys

1928 Market street, would not believe
Blake, nor would William Musante. a
grocer of Jackson and Montgomery
streets. 1t developed from the official

McLACHLAN is AGAINST
STATE HARBOR BOARDS
Congressman Says He Is in
Favor of Municipal Control
of San Pedro

The people of Los Angeles, who are
Interested in the acquisition of the
waterways at San Pedro for harbor,
fear the far reaching domination of the
republican machine. believing that If
the harbor is placed under the control
of a state board 1t Will become purely
political body under the governors
supervision and power of appointment.
They would prefer a municipal board of
harbor commissioners. which desire is
akin to their original plan to create a
new state of the southland.
On the eve of his departure for
Washington, Congressman James Nc
Lachlan of Los Angeles voiced a some
what critical opinion of state harbor
commissions. McLachlan is now the
only western member of the rivers and

TONGUE IS TIED
Refuses to Testify Before Grand
Jury in Latham Bribery
Matter
Indictments Returned Against
Ruef's Chauffeur and James
Tomalty

With an Indictment just returned
against Alexander S. Latham. Abe
Ruef's chauffeur, whom he is alleged to
have bribed to leave the state, Luther
Brown, head Of the United Railroads
defense detective bureau, refused to
testify yesterday before the grand
jury. No indictment had been returned
against Brown in the Latham matter,
although he has been openly accused
Of bribing Latham with $1,000 not to
testify against Ruef and TREY L. Ford
of the United Railroads Brown re-
fused to testify on the obvious ground
that he might incriminate himself. He
explained his refusal by saying that
any question put by District Attorney
Langdon might be against himself
Latham was indicted on a charge OF
perjury in connection with the dis
crepancies between the testimony he
gave before Judge Lawlor recently in
the Ruef case and that contained in a
deposition sworn to before Miss Con-
don. the notary public. The indict-
ment was returned against the chauf-
feur yesterday morning In Judge Stur-
tevant's court. Bail was fixed at
$40, 900.
At the same time James Tomalty,
former book keeper of the city treas
urer's ofiice, was indicted on the charge
OF falsifying public records, crime Of
court warrant by Harry McKannay
secretary to Mayor Taylor. Toma1ty's
bond was fixed at $4,000. The accused
man is now out on bail and is con-
fined at his home by illness.
An indictment was also returned
against George B. Stancliffe, a fugitive
from Justice, charging him with rob-
berry.
Before Luther Brown was called into
the juryroom that body Investigated
the Latham case. Will Latham and Ed
Latham, brothers of the indicted chauf-
feur, were called as witnesses, but
Alexander Latham. the father, was not
examined. though he had been sum-
moned as a witness.
District Attorney Langdon endeav-
ored to show the jurors that certain
persons in San Francisco connected
with the prograft forces knew of Alex
Lathan's whereabouts and questions
regarding telephone messages which
were carried on between suspected
persons were asked of witnesses.
To prove facts connected with these
telephone conversations w. /. Harvey,
manager of the Pacific garage in Polk
street near Pacific avenue, was called.
His stenographer, Mrs. Durea, occupied
the stand and former Mayor K. E.
Schmitz chauffeur. Harry Arnold, who
now drives for Henry Ach, was per-
mitted to make a statement to the
jurors. 1t was charged that Arnold
had conversed with VIII Latham, Alexis
brother, over the telephone and in
quired for the Portland address of Alex
Arnold denied that such a conversa-
tion had ever taken place.
Burr Hall. Alex Lathan's brother in
law, was called to corroborate dam
aging testimony given by Harvey and
others. Frank Lawlor of the district
attorneys force, also testified regard
ing the case.

A Wonderful Mother.

Bringing up nine children on an in
come of 81 a week is the task OF a
couple named Copp, whose home is in
the Devonshire village of Higher Hulk
ham, six miles from Exeter, England.
The couple have had nineteen children
in all, six of whom are dead. OF the
thirteen surviving, the eldest son, aged
19, is a sailor in the Royal Navy, and
three daughters are out at service.
Five of the children attend school at
Poltimore, two miles away.
The couple were married twenty-tour
years ago, and the husband, who is now
"A, is employed as a roadman by the
Rural District Council.
Asked how she contrived to bring up
such large family on the 16 shllllngs
a week which her husband earned, Mrs.
Copp remarked that it would be very
difficult thing even for her to explain.
All she could say was that it had been
very hard struggle. They had to pay
s35 year for their cottage and garden.
They helped matters out bit by grow
ing their own vegetables and keeping
pigs, and she "economized as much as
possible by making and mending the
the children's garments"
