ang yesterday with the new personnel
attending.
The customary resolution was passed
providing for the appoin +ment by the

members and comforting on this body
supreme powers for the county organ
ization.
w. M. Northrup of Alhambra sug-
gested that the naming of the commit
teemen be left to the members of the
county committee, because of its pos
sihle placating effect on "our on
ponents" in the party.
Judge John d. Works, A. ]. Wallace
and others rebuked Judge Northrup fol
his sentiments, saying it was time to
stop talking about opponents in the
party They supported the proposition,
to leave the appointments to Chairman
Lee.
The executive committee will be an

that Secretary j. ]. Petermichel also
viii be reappointed, he having shown a
special fitness for the work in the past

stances.

STARTS NORTH TO SERVE
HER SENTENCE FOR ARSON
Supreme Court Denies Mrs. crystobe
MorIey's Appeal for Rehearing
and She Must Do Three
Years

Mrs. Crystobel Morley, who was con-
victed December of arson and has
spent over a year in the Los Angeles
county jail, was taken to the state
prison at San Quentin yesterday to
serve a sentence of three years. Henry
Sanderson, found guilty by a jury on
the same charge, is already serving a
similar sentence.
Mrs. Morley had been awaiting a de-
cision of the supreme court, to which
she had appealed for a rehearing of
her case, and a denial of this applica-
ton was received yesterday. She and
Sanderson were charged with the
burning Of Sanderson's home in Day.
ton Heights tract for the purpose of
getting the insurance on the building
and it's contents. The fire occurred
August last, and was said to have
been the result of an explosion, but the
fact that Mrs. Morley's valuables were
discovered in an outbuilding, together
with other circumstances. caused an
investigation, and when the case came
to trial a number of witnesses gave in
eliminating testimony.
Mrs. Morley's case was taken to the
district court of appeals, which upheld
the decision of Judge Smith of the SUI
perior court, and later the prisoner APP
pealed to the supreme court for a re-
hearing, on the grounds that the in
structions given the jury were defec-
tive.

Louis Courtial, whose wife says ne
has abused her shamefully and against

again took the witness stand in the SUI
perior court yesterday and retall1ated
by relating some of Mrs. CourtiaPs al
legged misdeeds in a flow of broken
French and English and with such
disregard for the feelings of his wife
that the latter was with some diff

my wife is an anarchist and a for

swer to a question put to him by his
attorney, Charles M. Alderman. Mrs.
CortiaPs attorneys time was taken up
in an effort to quiet his protesting and
oluble client and at the same time en-
ter his objections to the line OF examl-
nation. His work was made more diff
cult a moment later, when Courtial
went further and declared his wife had
expressed qualification upon hearing of
the assassination of President McKin-
ley and that she had also declared the
car of Russia and President Roose-
welt should be killed.
"Oh, the william; lie grande wretch;
mon dieu, lie miserable liar; it is not
true; sacre occur dune chat!' and
AIRS. CourtiaPs arms were thrown for
ward in an attitude indicative of a
wish to grasp her accusing lord and
master.
Courtial not only denied every state
ment made by his wife but added
few charges to those he had already
made. ~ did not attack her father
with two guns, two shovels and a re-
volver," he cried. Il only waved
pitchfork at him because he wouldn't
shut the gate. When he picked up

gun and he has not come back to my

"And I never kicked my daughter

Charles Garveau was the only other
witness, testifying that he knew moth
ing to the discredit of Courtial. He
finally became impatient with the
lengthy cross-examination to which he
was subjected by Mrs. CourtiaPs at
torney. "You hurry up" he said. 1--WE
got to go; I'm a business man and
can't waste my time here"
'All right" said the attorney, Il
think you have told me all you know"

and he left the stand, taking seat
among the spectators, where he re-
manned until adjournment.
The case was continued until Mon

Mrs. Julia Parrish Claims Her Hus-
bands Vacation of Two Weeks

he did not love his wife and believed
he was doing wrong to live with her.
Steinen is considered to be wealthy

being without acquaintance their asso-
citation with each other led to the mar
riage. Steinen's purpose in seeking a

pose of arranging final settlement OF

the latter's attorney is in Europe Judge

had left her four months after the we'd
ding and she has not seen him since.
HE told me he was going on vaca-
ton" said Mrs. Parrish, land that he
would be absent two to four weeks.
When he did not return I went to his
parents home in Santander, but they
would give me no information. l
STAYED there about a week and then
went to San Francisco and other cities,
searching the directories and calling at
offices in which he might be employed,
but could get no trace of him."
Mrs. Parrish says she came back to
Los Angeles and wrote letter to her
husband, addressed in care of his
parents. 81 received in response a let
ter from his brother" she said, lin
which he told me my husband would be
in Santander from the middle of May
until the latter part of June and that If
1 wished to get divorce the papers
could be served on him there. That is
the last I have heard of him." Mrs.
Parrish was granted decree.
