police department. 1t is, to say the
least, ungracious to cast aspersions
upon the department at this time. The

cumstances, have but done their duty.
That is the purpose for which they are
employed. The personnel of the Los
Angeles police department compares ia
vorably with that of any in the coun-

criticism would be among the first to
advance it.

world why these witnesses should tell
an untruth.

has been acquitted. I fail to see any
good result that can come from state
ments and criticisms at this time

EORBLDS GRAZING
ON FOREST LANDS
GOVERNMENT RESERVES PRO-
TECTED BY DECISION
Case Brought by Wealthy Cattle
Raiser Settled by the United
States Circuit Court
of Appeals

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-United
States Attorney Carl Rasch of Mon
tana has notified Clifford Pinchot, chief
of the United States forest service, that
the United States circuit court of APP
peals at San Francisco has affirmed the
decision of Judge Hunt in the grazing
trespass case instituted by the govern
ment against Thomas Shannon.
No copy of the decision has yet been
received by the forest service, but it Is
believed it forbids stockmen to allow
their cattle to drift upon the national
forests, and that the national forests
need not be fenced to prevent such
drifting, although the state laws may
make such fencing necessary for pri-
vate lands.
his cattle to drift upon the Little Belt
national forest in Montana. To put a
stop to this, suit was brought by the
United States and on March IS, 1907,
Judge Hunt, in the United States cir
cult court for that state, rendered a
decision in favor of the government,
and issued an injunction perpetually
restraining Shannon from allowing his
cattle to drift upon the forests. Mon
tana has a fence law by which land
owners must fence their lands before
they can obtain redress from stockmen
whose cattle, feeding upon the open
public domain, range upon and inJure
the private lands.
Shannon's counsel argued that this
state law should apply as against the
United States, but Judge Hunt held
that the power of congress over the
public lands, including the national for
ests, is complete; that congress has
lawfully delegated to the secretary OF
agriculture the authority to make regu-
lations to protect the forest; that the
secretary had p operly made regula-
tion that cattle must not range upon
the forests without permit and thai
COZ. sequently Shannon was trespassei
when he allowed his cattle to drift upon
the Little Belt forest, although 1t was
unfenced.
shannon appealed from this decision,
and as Montana Is in the Ninth Federal
judicial circuit, which embraces mos'
of the Rocky mountain and PACING
states, his appeal was heard by the
United States circuit court of appeals
for the Ninth circuit, sitting at Sar
Francisco. The court has now affirmed
Judge Hunts decision, and this judg-
ment is binding upon all federal courts
in the circuit. A similar case is pend
ing in the United States circuit court
for Colorado. whi- is in the Eighth
circuit.

STATEMENTS
ARE DENIED
OFFICERS DID THEIR DUTY SAYS
CAPTAIN
Letter Written by Mrs. EsteIle Corwell
Arouses Ire of Members of Police
Department, Who Say Con-
tents Are False

Mrs. Estelle Corwell, who Friday
night was acquitted by jury in Judge
Wilbur's court of the murder of George
L. Bennett, yesterday made a state
ment, through her attorney, Horace H.
Appel, in which she charges witnesses
for the prosecution with untruthfulness
and says she cannot understand how
it is possible for human beings to go
into court and undertake to swear
her life away.
Members of the police department.
on whom these reflections are cast,
have been quick to take up the issue,
and yesterday statements were made
by officers who felt they must, in just
ice to themselves, reply to Mrs. Cor
WELL
Mrs. Corwell in her statement says:
ITO the Los Angeles Herald: Al
low me through the medium of your
columns to thank the many friends,
acquaintance and strangers who Of
fered me so much assistance and en-
couragement' during my recent trial. l
wish to especially remember Jack Gro
min for his untiring efforts in assisting
me in making my defense.
81 wish to say to the public that
what gave me more pain during all OF
my troubles was to be present during
the trial and see witnesses testify I'M
truthfully. to deprive me of my life.
Wore Hat to jail
ST went to the police station on the
fateful night wearing the little black
hat which I introduced in evidence.
When 1 was taken into the city Jail the
matron said to me that the rules re-
quired that no hat pins should be al
lowed me, and she took that little black
hat from my head, removed the hat
pins and returned the hat to me. 1
wish also to state that when came TO
the police station a certain detective
advised me to say nothing concerning
my case. / said nothing to Detectives
Ziegler or to Hosick. How 1t was pos
sibie for human beings to go into court
and undertake to swear my life away
is beyond my understanding.
81 thank the press for the kind treat
ment of myself and of my attorney,
H. H. Appel. l was urged to go upon
the witness stand and tell the story OF
my relations with Mr.. Bennett, but l
declined to say anything personally
that might reflect upon his memory
and I will never do so.
IT will go to the home OF my parents;
and I will try and forget the past and
lead as far as is in my power a true
Christian life. ESTELLE CORWELL.' .
The statement of Mrs. Corwell was
called to the attention of Detectives
Thomas Ziegler and James Hosick.
Says Case Is Ended
Hosick, speaking for himself and his
colleague, said: II am greatly sur
prised that this woman should see any
necessity for such a statement at this
time. The case is ended. SO far as we
are concerned, and we believed 1t was
ended for all time.
at will say. however. that no detect
ives connected with the police depart
ment were present at the time Mrs.

A BURGLAR
SIGNS PLEDGE
sALooNKEEPER REFORMS AT
MURPHY MEETINGS
SAN BERNARDINO STIRRED BY
YOUNG ORATOR
Grandson of Famous Advocate Shakes
City to Its Foundations on His
First Stop in World
Tour

Among the more than one thousand
signers of the famous Francis Murphy
gospel temperance pledge at San Ber-
nardino, where Thomas c. Murphy,
grandson of the late temperance lead
err, has just ended his first stop of
eight days on his world temperance
tour, was burglar. A San Bernar-
dino saloonkeeper was another pledge
signer.
II was coming out of the large hall
at San Bernardino after one of my
night meetings there" explained
young Murphy, when. as is my GUS
tom, 1 stopped to speak to man at
the door. l always see that those out
side get a warm invitation. He lis
tened to me atentively, seemed inter-
ested. went up and signed the pledge.
Then he told me his story. l found
that he was professional crook, a
burglar by trade, and that he had been
waiting that night for his pail In
order to undertake the robbery of
business house in San Bernardino
This he confessed to me. Not only
that, but he took me to the street
where the business house is located and
pointed it out to me next day. He
has promised to lead new life, give
up his burglary and make man OF
himself hereafter"
Mr.. Murphy felt, out of fairness to
the man, that his name should not be
given in this connection.
InfideIs Sign Pledge
Four infidels were also among the
signers of the Murphy gospel temper
ance pledge at San Beranrdino during
young Murphy's meetings there.
This energetic temperance orator is
an able successor to his father, Will
liam Murphy, and to his Industrious
grandfather, Francis Murphy, and is
on the other hand, well able to uphold
his own reputation as a speaker OF
ability and one on fire with the zeal
of the temperance cause.
For nine days he labored there, hold
ing meetings IN the hall every even
ing, while on Sunday the large Meth
odist Episcopal church was filled to
the doors A choir of fifty voices, led
by Murphy's brother, Francis Murphy
IT., a pupil Of Conried of New York
city, added to the services.
Outside these meetings young Muir
ply went, making tour of the sa-
looms, being well received by all the
saloonkeepers, one of whom signed the
pledge He also held noon meeting
at the Santa Fe shops, the men, with
their hands still grimed with toll,
signing the pledge. He also made ad-
dresses at the college and high school

and spoke at the meeting, while that
day a reception was rendered them,
the school and college students at
tending, being decked out In blue rib
bons, insignia of the temperance cause.
All the ministers of the city were in
hearty support of the meetings, and
arranged for Murphy to remain three
DAYS over his allotted time there.
In a short time Mr.. Murphy will
start out again on his tour of Cali
fornia, the beginning of his world
wide temperance tour.
