SERIOUS CHARGES

YOUNG MAN SAID TO HAVE VIC.
LATED PAROLE
Probation Officer Claims Prisoner
Led Vicious Life, but Later
Makes Hard Fight for
His Liberty

Charged with violating his parole by
marriage vow, with Lucille Webb, now
said to be an inmate of disreputable
resort near Eighth and Main streets,
and also charged with leaving Ocean
Park without paying his landlady, his
doctor, w. II. Parker, and the Pacific
Grocery company, Frank Dewitt was
hailed before Judge w. p. James in de-
partment one of the superior court yes
terday by Probation officer A. G. Dodds
to show cause why his parole should
not be countermanded and he sent to
the penitentiary.
After a hard fight to keep out OF
prison, Judge James suspended his de-
cision until June IL.
Dewitt first came into prominence
when he was arrested on a charge of
holding up a woman named Edith
Hammond on East Second street, and
forcing her to give him gold watch
In return for the promise of police pro-
lection.
Dewitt was accused of having been
implicated in a number of such trans
actions in Elysian park and other
places, and confessed as much to the
officers. Dewitt pleaded guilty in court
and was sentenced July 8, 1906, to pro-
baton for three years.
Yesterday mornig Probation Officer
Dodds explained to the court that
Dewitt had gone to San Bernardino
without the permission of the court, al
though he had been warned not to go;
that he had been leading vicious life
with lucille Webb, and that he had de-
ceived the tradesmen at Ocean Park.
These statements were borne out by
the physician, the grocer and DeWitt's s
former landlady, Mrs. Wilson. Dewitt
denied the charges. He declared he
had gone to San Bernardino to get
away from the woman and to get work,
which he couldn't find here, and that he
intended to pay his bills as soon as
possible

That indispensable standby Of the

is to be with us for some time to come,
If indications count for anything. This
style of frock can be made at home
without much difficulty; hence the
economical woman appreciates 1t per-
haps more than anyone else. The
pretty model shown is developed in
one of the smart new Siciliennes,
though linen. taffeta or pongee would
answer equally well. The waist is
plain at the back and has two plaits
on either side of the front, giving ex-
cellent lines with long shoulder eff
feet. The skirt is three piece circu-
lar one, with the popular front panel,
and fits the hips smoothly, while 1t
flares modishly at the hem. 1t may
be made in medium sweep or round
length, and with an inverted pleat at
back or in habit style. To make the?
dress in the medium sizes requires 31a

"MAkE UP" FAIL
HUSBAND SUES WIFE FOR
PROPERTY
ASKS THAT DEEDS BE RETURNED
TO HIM
Man Says He Gave Woman Property
After Quarrel, but Despite
Action She Deserted
Him

After two or three attempts at a
reconciliation with his wife, and in the
attempts deciding to her all of his prop
erty, estimated to be worth $25,000, only
to have her leave him again, Edward
e. Squires gave his testimony against
Ella b. Squires before Judge George H.
Hutton in the superior court yesterday,
in an attempt to force her to deed back
to him his shares Of the community
property.
Squires was on the stand all day and
told of repeated attempts made by his
wife to leave him after obtaining con-
troll of the property he had amassed
through years of work. He said they
were married at Little Rock, Ark,
December 28, 1882, and that many times
after that his wife accused him of dis
sipating his property and Of being I'M
faithful to her.
This continued, according to his testi-
mony, until October 80, 1905, when his
wife told him If he would deed all of
his property to her, to be held by her
for use in their old age, the past would
be forgotten and they could be happy
again.
Gives Woman Deeds
He testified that he gave her the
deed, and after the gift had been made,
without his consent, his wife left him
and went with her daughter back to
Arkansas. Christmas day, 1905, he said
under oath, she wrote him letter say
ing she was through with him. On the
second of the following January he dis
covered his wife had decided all of the
property he had given her to her sister,
Mrs. F. w. Offenhouser, who lives on
Bixel street, near Eighth street, in this
city.
February %, 1906, according to
Squires' testimony, he met his wife on
the street in this city and reproached
her for leaving him and for disposing
of the property he had given her. She
told me then" he added, "she would
come back to me and forget the past,
and she would get back the deed from
her sister if 1 would give her deed
to all the property, naming the consid-
Grafton as $40. If would do this, all
grievances were to be forgotten and
she would return to me-"
According to the testiE- ony of the
plaintiff, he and his wife lived together
from that time until August 1, 1907,
when he went to Reno, New, on busi-
ness. His wife refused to follow him,
and November Is, 1907, again wrote she
was through with him.
December 81 of the same year, he
said, he hurried back to Los Angeles
and lived with his wife until the day
before Christmas, when she again de-
clareu tnat Sne WOulu nave notHiuS
more to do with him, claimed all the
property he had given her as her own,
and told him to get out. Since then,
he says, they have not lived together.
The property involved consists of six
lots and ten shares of Union Trust COM
pany stock, besides a considerable sum
of money which, he declares, his wife
has in the bank and which she obtained
from the sale of community property.
1t is probable the case will be on trial
several days.

FAMILY ROW RESULTS IN
POLICE COURT TRIAL

The aftermath of a family row In
Garvanza was heard by Justice ]. w.
Summerfield yesterday when the charge
of disturbing the peace made by Isaac
Grimsell against Mrs. r. c.. Krelle was
dismissed.
1t was shown the charge originated
from the calling of names after Grim
sells sons had been found shooting
song birds on the property of Mrs.
Krelle. 1t also came to light that the
Krelle family and the Grimsells had
had trouble about two years ago when
Mrs. Krelle's chickens ate some barley
that belonged to Grimsell.
A family feud seems to have been in
progress ever since, terminating in the
complaint which was dismissed yester-
