OUR STANDARD BEARER.

The floods in the Trinity river could
net restrain the Texas Democrats from
meeting on Tuesday last to instruct
their S6 delegates to vote first, last and
all the time tor William Jennings
Bryan. The Now York Herald, in its
political review OF last Sunday put the
Bryan vote ut that time ut 4S7. When
votes, and this number includes no del
egats from New York or other unin-
structed States. There are yet to be
elected 1873 delegates, and scarcely one
Of them will be an anti Bryan man.
The number necessary for q choice il
627, and long before the convention
meets in July MI. Bryan will have Sc
cured that number. He really has no
opponent.
In view OF the plain situation, all
Democrats will fall int line. All will
become warm supporters Of the Nebras-
kan. Ths Democracy can win if they
will pull together aggrsssively. It goes
without saying that the new National
committee will elect a campaign COM
mittee that will throw itself INTO the
fight with all their strength md skill.
We need an active, outspoken, aggres-
sive campaign on Bryanesque lines.
Our standard bearer should be per-
mitted to give shape and form to party
action. But most desirable of all is an
united support on the part of all who
are opposed to Crumpaekerism and
Dingleyism. A fighting campaign led
by fighting mon is before us.

and three minutes later the young
woman, accompanied by her attorney
and Miss Fannie Davis, a close friend,
and followed by a large crowd, was
taken to the county Jail.
Attorney Brown remained in the jail
with his client fully half an hour and
later declared his intention to appeal
the case to the highest court possible.
Made Confession
Ruby Casselman was arrested De-
cember 81 while attempting to pass a
fictitious check for $50 signed by F. w.
Blanchard and made payable to Lille
b. Sharpe. The arrest took place at
the First National bank and an officer
of the bank testified that the young
woman had confessed to him that she
wrote the check Detectives also stated
she had made the same admissions
to them when she was taken to the
police station. A number of incrimin-
ating papers said to have been found
in her purse were introduced by the
prosecution during the trial, some OF
them bearing evidence of tracings over
signatures used on other checks.
During the trial many other chacks
alleged to have been forged by Ruby
Casselman were introduced into the
evidence.
The defense claimed the young wom-
an was the victim of others. She was

probationary sentence of two years, I'M

IS FOUND GUILTY
GIRL WILL BE SENTENCED
WEDNESDAY
ATTORNEY SAYS PRISONER is
DANGEROUS CRIMINAL
Young Woman Is Placed In County
Jail and VIII Be Held There
Until Next Appearance
In Court

After celebrating an hour and a
quarter the jury in the case of Ruby
Casselman, charged with forgery,
brought in a verdict of guilty at 2:45
o'clock yesterday.
Fifteen minutes later the young
woman, whose trial has caused more
interest in Los Angeles than any since
the Corwell murder case, was placed
in the county Jail, where she will re-
main until Wednesday at 10 o'clock,
when she will again appear in court to
receive her sentence.
District Attorney Fredericks occu-
pied almost the entire time of the half
day session yesterday in delivering his
argument to the jury. He ended by
severely criticising the methods of the
defense and declared his belief that
the defendant was one Of the most
dangerous criminals that ever walked
the streets of Los Angeles.
The court room was at once cleared
and Miss Casselman was taken to the
Jail to await the decision of the jury.
Outside on the broad steps in front of
the court house and on the lawn the
crowd of a hundred and fifty or more
spectators who had listened to the
closing proceedings of the trial gath
cred in little groups discussing the
evidence brought out in the trial. A
large number of these persons were
attracted by curiosity, but for the most
part they were friends or relatives Of
Miss Casselman.
At 2:4O o'clock the jury announced
that a verdict had been reached and
the defendant was sent for. She came
into the court room accompanied by
her attorney, e. Judson Brown. and a
deputy sheriff and took the seat she
had occupied every day during the
week long trial Other than a slight
pallor Miss Casselman showed no
emotion and was to all appearances
the coolest person in the chamber.
In the absence of Judge B. N. Smith,
who is i'll at his home, Judge Walter
Bordwell was sent for and received
the verdict. AS the decision of the
twelve men was read the young
woman sat unmoved for some mo-
ments. Then, turning to her attorney,
who sat as though dazed, she remarked
quietly but with intense feeling:
"I cannot believe there is God In
heaven

sentence at Wednesday at 10 o'clock,

Prisoner Is Given Time to Prove

Is Unable to
Do So

For wearing the uniform of a sailor In
violation of the law governing same,
Edward James was yesterday morning
sentenced by Police Justice Austin to
serve sixty days in the city jail.
James was arraigned late Friday af-
ternoon. He told the court he met a
sailor from the Virginia on Main street,
and together they visited a number of
places of amusement. Later they went
to James room, where the bluejacket
suggested they trade clothes for
while. This was agreed to and after
the change they went down town to-
gether They came to rooming house,
which the sailor entered, telling James
to wait for him, that he wanted to see
a friend.
After waiting a reasonable length of
time, the sea-faring man did not ap-
pear. James went inside, but was un-
able to find his friend.
James was arrested by Patrolman
Richards.
After telling his story to the justice
Friday afternoon, the accused man
was allowed until yesterday morning TO

posed in January, 1906. after having
confessed the forgery of paper some
months prior to that time. This cir
cumstance, according to the defense,
was taken advantage of by three per-
sons, who wrote and passed forged
checks and laid their plans In such a
manner that suspicion would fall upon
the Casselman girl.
There is a probability that sentence
will not be pronounced upon Ruby Cas-
selman when she appears in court on
Wednesday, as 1t is the intention of
Judge Smith to go to a sanitarium
for a week on account of illness. Judge
James, it is expected, will occupy the
criminal bench in the superior court
during Judge Smiths absence, but it
is not customary for Judges to impose
sentence in cases which have not been
tried before them.
