Telegraphic advices from Toledo, o..

telephone rnasnate OF Toledo, indicted
here in connection with the Home tele-
phone bribery, was. about to return
from San F.ranoisc2, after successfully
concluding negotiations favorable to

of Detwiler, and that it was UNDER
stood that he would soon return to
Toledo to take up his position as senior
partner of the real estate firm of Det-
wiler Bros company with confidence
that he would be unmolested.
Members of the graft prosecution
said last night that. there had been
absolutely no negotiations looking to
Detwiler's return, but that they would
not be surprised to learn at any time
that he had come back ready to face
the music. Detwiler, they said, was
the one man among all those indicted
who could advance with any. hope of
establishing it the contention that he
had been held up, the one man who
might reasonably hope to,be dealt with
leniently.
In this connection it is recalled that
William ]. Burns took occasion several
weeks ago.. during. an address in Ala
media, to point out. the peculiar extern
uating circumstances in Detwiler's case.

is. Believing. that he would sooner or

PHYSICIAN ARRESTED
ON SERIOUS CHARGE
Unconscious Girl Found on Street ny
PatroImen, and Investigation
Leads to Doctor Being
Taken Into Custody

Charged with practicing medicine
without a license, Frank E. Tuttle,
who, it is claimed, conducted a drug
cure establishment in a room at
South Hill street hotel, was arrested
on st. Louis street yesterday after-
noon by Patrolman Mellon on q war
rant sworn to by Attorney Grant Ben
net counsel for the state medical
board.
Two weeks ago pretty 19-year-old
Hope Graftman, an orphan, arrived in
Los Angeles from the east. She became
i'll and purchased a bottle OF patent
medicine which contained a large
amount of morphine or a similar drug.
Soon she became a victim of the
drug habit and found she was unable
to break herself of the use of the
opiates She was advised to consult
DR.. futile, then living in a hotel on
South Hill street. She visited his place,
it is alleged, and told her story
He not only told her he would cure
her. it is said, but stated he would
give her a position as his stenographer
and pay her $40 week. She lived at
his hotel. it is stated, and they were
thought to be father and daughter.
Last Saturday night she was found
lying on the street by Patrolman Nee
Ion and taken TO the central ponce
station. When searched two packages
of drugs were found in her stock
ings. The parcels contained morphine
and cocaine enough to have killed u
dozen men.
She was taken to tho matron's de-
partment for treatment. Her limbs
bore the marks of innumerable needle
punctures and her right arm and leg
were a mass of ulcers, caused. it is
thought, byt using a dirty needle. The
girls condition is pitiful. Her mind is
deranged and she is a physical wreck
She was taken from the city jail
Yesterday afternoon and will likely be
arraigned in the superior court on a
charge of insanity.
The prescription alleged to havo
been given the unfortunate girl by
Tuttle is said to contain more opiates
than is usually used by drug victim.

and they then stepped into the ring.
At the word of command Of the d.

quarter of an hour, one of them over
stepped the limits of the ring. He was
thereupon declared to be the loser, but
to the onlookers it was difficult to de-
