Well, the outfit went on it's way and Harris

ACQUITTED AFTER
ADMITTING GUILT
SAYS ATTORNEY OFFERED TO
"ENGINEER" CASE
RooseveIt's Former Interpreter Per-
mitted to Withdraw His Previous
Acknowledgment That He Had
Passed Fictitious Checks

Frank Alvarez, who declared he was
formerly an interpreter for Theo-
dore Roosevelt during the Cuban
campaign, and later acting Tor
Nicholas Longwortl apo his bride in
the same capacity during trip to the
West Indies, yesterday testified IN the
superior court that he was induced
by Attorney w. c. Abbot to enter a
plea of guilty to a charge of passing
a fictitious check June last, on the
representation that Abbot could en-
gineer' his case in way that would
lead to the Young man being placed
on parole.
Alvarez was arrested in June,
charged with passing a forged cneck
for $19 on B. N. Jones, mall carrier
that purpcrted to be signed by N. M.
Palcock. He claims TO have acted
innocently in the matter, having re-
ceived the check from another person
Judge Curtis D. Wilbur, before whom
Alvarez pleaded guilty some time ago.
was a witness in the case yesterday
and detailed the circumstances. The
following day Attorney Horace ID. APP
pei asked the court to permit Alvarez
to change his plea to one of not guilty,
and this was granted. Judge Wilbur
SAID he had made no investigation OF
the case at that time, on account or
the withdrawal of the first plea.
Attorney Appel also took the stand
II. behalf of his client. While the
matter was pending before Judge Will
bur. he said Alvarez telephoned to
him, saying he wanted to see him at
the county Jail. "He made state
ment of facts at that time" said the
attorney, "an1 I told hlm l could do
nothing, as he already had counsel.
However, L agreed to have the matter
set for a certain date, but when
appeared in court l learned Alvarez
had pleaded guilty the day before.
Then / asked the court to allow him
to withdraw the plea. and this was
agreed to and the. case has peen con-
tlnued until the present time.
st said at the time that the young
man had beer induced to enter plea
oc guilty on assurance that he would
be paroled."
The ATTORNEY also inti oduced a note
for $3.50 by the terms of which de-
fendant agreed to pay Abbot $100 after
he gained his liberty, and the balance
at stated intervals. A letter said to
have been written by Abbot to a Mrs.
DIR. Cain, a resident of an eastern
state. in which the attorney stated he
had a great deal of experience in
leases OF this kind. and assured her
of his ability to engineer" the case,
was also shown to Judge Wilbur and
was perused with much interest.
Alvarez case was given to the jury
without argument at noon, and ver-
dict of not guilty was returned two
hours later.

July, which will be a source of enjoy
ment, not only to our visitors, but to
our citizens as well. 1t is confidently
expected that the "Elks' Harvest Fes-
tival' will be the greatest event of its
kind ever attempted in the west.
One of the features will be man.
moth grocery store, with fifty thousand
different articles for sale. Every article
in the store will be sold for 10 cents,

A NOVEL WINDOW

The opening of the hunting season
October l was heralded by Dyas &
Cline, and people passing up and down
Third street were treated to a novel
sight, this firm having arranged a
window pertaining to the duck and
quail hunting especially.
Old sportSmen have said without eX.
ception it was the most artistic window
of it's kind they had ever seen. One
must see it to appreciate it. In tEe
right hand corner is a real duck pond.
The background of the window is filled
with trees and shrubbery. A figure
representing a man all dressed in khaki
suit, carrying all the necessary para
phernalia for a hunting trip, stands
lurking in the shrubbery, with gun
raised and ready to give a rain of shot.
The birds are the real things. There Is
the teal, spoonbill and sprig; also the
Bob White and mountain quail This
is one time and place where the duck
can call the man a quack, quack,
quack, and be safe.
This window, being so realistic, has
attracted the attention of editors of
several magazines. They have asked
permission to photograph the window
so as to use the picture in their books.
The county superintendent of schools
has requested Dyas g. Cline to keep the
window intact for a week longer, as
the scholars are studying the birds and
their habits. The Azusa high school,
Alhambra and Hollywood have already
visited the window, with other schools
to follow A busy place is Dyas &
Clines. Everything Is on the wing
and fly"
