ABBOTT ARRAIGNED
ON MURDER CHARGE
Defendant, Who Is Accused of Killing
His Nephew, w. &. johnson, Had
Been Exonerated by Cor
oner's Jury

Although eXonerated by a coroner's
jury at an inquest held over the body
of w. E. Johnson, whom he is accused
of killing, Frank Abbott was arraigned
yesterday in Police Justice Roses court
on a charge of numbering Johnson,
who is his nephew. His preliminary
examination was set for November B
and he was released under bonds of
$4,000.
johnson was struck by Abbott in an
alteration in front of the Hoffman
house, 4191A North Main street, where
johnson, a son of Mrs. Selma Johnson
Ives-Avila, who conducts the place,
lives.
1t is alleged the son had taken the
receipts and spent it for liquor, and
then appeared at the hotel and de-
manded more money. His mother re-
fused to comply with the demands and
he began to abuse her. She summoned
her brother, Frank Abbott, and john
son was elected from the place several
times. The last time an alteration
took place and Johnson was Knocked
to the pavement. sustaining fracture
of the skull, from which he died sew
eral hours later.
Abbott bears a good reputation and
it is said there are several witnesses
who will testify he acted in self-de-
Tense.
Abbott's bond at first was fixed at
500, 1000. His attorney asked for a re-
duction on the grounds the circum-
stances warranted 1t. The deputy dis
trict attorney recommended the reduc-
ton and the bail was placed at half
the original sum.

SPURNiNG COLORED VOTE
the I.os Angeles Herald i.

Editor the Los Angeles Herald
My attention has just been called to COM
munication published in your columns, adj
dressed to the colored voters of Los Angeles
county, purportirg to be signed by G. w.
Chivis and others, in which the statement is
made that these people had called upon me
and requested that / appoint colored man
on the executive committee, and that refused
to do So and that 1 also stated that the Re-
publican party represented by the executive
committee Of the county central committee did
not care for the colored vote in this election.
These statements are absolutely and unquali-
hedy untrue.
The men referred to called at my office on
yesterday and inquired of me what arrange
ments had been made for colored men to get
out the colored vote on election day in certain
of the precincts in this city.
1 informed them that this duty was in charge
of the election day committee OF the Republi-
can executive committee and referred them to
thN chairman of hat subcommittee as was
not following UP that detail personally.
They made no request whatever for an APP
pontment of colored men ON the executive
committee, nor did refuse 10 make any such
appointment 1 was not asked to pass upon
that question.
The executive committee, which is limited to
twenty members, was authorized by the county
convention and the appointments made to that
before the commencement of the campaign.
They then asked me IL there was any colored
man a member of that committee, and I said
NO" They then turned and walked out of
the office and this was all that was said.
/ think that the people of this county know
me sufficiently well to know that I would not
make the statements attributed to me.
ask you in fairness to Insert this in your
columns. l remain,
Very truly yours,

MISSING MAN IS
FOUND A CORPSE
F. C. AMMANN DISAPPEARED
MONTHS AGO
Search by His Friends Proved Un-
avaiIing, but Former SchooImate
Yesterday, While Hunting,
Stumbled Upon Body

The body of Fred C. Amman, a
musician, who disappeared from Long
Beach several months ago, was found
yesterday hidden in the brush of a
branch ravine leading to Schumacher
canyon back of Hollywood, by Emil
Labaig, one of Ammann's former
schoolmates. A bullet hole in the fore
head and revolver lying nearby told
the manner of his death, and all indi-
cations confirm the opinion the young
man committed suicide.
The flesh was almost gone from the
bones, which were held together only
by the clothing. The skull, with a
large hole in the center of the fore
head, an inch above the right eye, was
found a short distance from the body.
1t is thought this was caused by wild
animals.
Labaig was quail hunting in the can
yon. He shot bird which fell into
a clump of bushes. STOPPING down to
pick up his game when he reached the
spot he saw the body lying in the
bushes. He recognized the mass of
clothing and bones as those of his
phone and notified City Marshal Lingo
of Hollywood, who in turn communi-
Gated with the coroner.
Amman formerly lived in Holly
wood with his parents, who were
wealthy. A little more than a year
ago they sold their property and went
back to Germany. Fred, or Fritz, as he
was better known, went with them, but
returned later and secured a position
as musician with an orchestra at Long
Beach.
Although he had many friends he
was eccentric and his friends expressed
no surprise or concern when Amman
failed to appear one evening at his
place of work.
Finally, when they could find no trace
of him, they began search, but all
efforts to find him were of no avail.
Then it was thought he had returned
to his relatives in Germany.
After an investigation yesterday by
the officers it was decided Amman
had wandered to the lonely spot while
in Respondent mood and committed
suicide.
In his pockets were found SO cents
in silver and cards bearing the name
"Fritz Amman"
Amman was 81 years old and was
a finished musician. the violin being his
favorite instrument.
The body was taken to the UNDER
taking establishment of Gates & Crane,
Hollywood, where it will be held pend
ing Instructions from his relatives in
Germany.

SEEK TO COERCE
STREET CAR MEN
OLD TRICK OF REPUBLICANS
FAILS TO WORK
CONDUCTORS AND MoToRMEN
WILL VOTE AS THEY PLEASE
Hint That Some of Them win Lose
Their Jobs if Bryan Is Elected
Carries Little
Weight

The old trick of yelled threat to
workmen, "Vote for Bryan and busi-
ness will be so bad you will be dis
charged" is being worked on employees
of local trolley lines-except that it
does not work WELL Letters have been
sent to conductors and motormen, but
they seem to have the opposite effect
to that intended. Instead of intimidat-
ing they have actually made votes for
the Democratic candidates.
Yes, a circular letter was sent to
conductors and motormen, and prob
ably to other employees, telling them to
vote for Taft" said a conductor of the
West Eleventh street line yesterday
But not for me. A man old enough to
vote ought to know how to vote, and
think L do. My ballot for Bryan"
II have been kind of on the fence"
said another conductor, "but the letter
decided me. [ earn my money and
vote as [ please, and when anybody
tells me [ must vote for Taft or stand
a chance of losing my job why / say
go oft. I'll show them. A cross in the
Democratic circle is where they will
find my record if they want to ask
about it. Furthermore, [ will bet any
brass collar a days wages of mine
against one day of his that Bryan is
elected, and another day apiece that
after he is elected they don't discharge
a single man in Los Angeles county be-
cause of business conditions being
worse than they have been during
Roosevelt's administration.
Men Are for Bryan
81 don't know how it is on the other
lines, but if you go around among the
l.. A. boys you will find a large ma
jority of them are for Bryan this year.
Talking on the car nights and mornings
1 notice that the wageworkers believe
in Bryan like they do in Roosevelt-the
Republicans 1 mean-and they think
he will be a president who will run the
country right If 1 didn't know I'd lose
my job for it I'd write what 1 think
and send it to the offices of the COM
pany, but you put in the paper that
this man has had his instructions and
he has made up his mind accordingly
Democratic. And put it in strong,
young Teller"
Inquiries among conductors and mo-
tormen generally brought out feeling
of resentment against interference with
their right to vote as they please. Even
avowed Republicans among the street
car employees said the influence of the
letter would be injurious to the Repub-
lican cause rather than favorable.

Thomas l.. Woolwine, former prose-
cutting city attorney, and deposed by
Captain Fredericks as a deputy at the
commencement of the protected vice
investigation, passed more than half
hour in the grand jury room yesterday,
unhampered by the presence and OPP
position of the district attorney.
Mr. Woolwine, 1t is believed, had
something to tell the jury not meant
for the ears of Captain Fredericks,
and the fact that he was permitted to
come before the inquisitorial body
alone and untrammeled and that the
jury regarded his statements of
enough Importance to give him so
much of their valuable time apparent
ly indicates that there is still warm
feeling in the hearts of the jurymen
for the young attorney, belief in his
sincerity of purpose, and that the path
of the district attorney, who has taken
charge of the investigation, is not al
together one of roses.
What Mr.. Woolwine told the grand
jury is known, of course, only to those
who took part in the deliberations. Mr..
Woolwine would say nothing when he
emerged, but he looked happy. Rumor
had it several days ago that the in
vestigating body was split into two
factions, the larger one being in favor
OF the former prosecutor. Later IL was
rumored the majority was but one, but
1t would not be surprising if this had
grown as a result of Mr.. Woolwine's
statements yesterday.
Fredericks Enters Late
A few minutes after Mr.. Woolwine
left the grand jury room the district
attorney entered. In the hallway
about twenty persons were in waiting.
Among them were half a dozen women,
which number was increased to a
bakers dozen in the afternoon. These
women, former or present inhabitants
of the "redlight" district, are now a
familiar figure in the corridor They
make friends quickly and like to give
their names and addresses to inquirers.
Many of them speak in a foreign

persons were told to come back Mon
day, and they departed with the same
disappointed or pleasant expression
as the case might be, that they have
worn on other days.
The names only of the witnesses are
known. Before entering the room they
son for calling them; when they
emerge they won't tell.
Mayors Case Delayed
A further delay was secured by the
attorneys representing Mayor Harper
when he appeared in Judge BordwelPs
court yesterday in response to cita-
ton. The mayor was wanted to show
cause why he would not answer ques-
tions before a notary in response to
an order of court commanding him to
do so. Former Governor Gage, one of
the mayors attorneys, said the notice
for the city's executive officer in court
had not been received until noon
Thursday and therefore no sufficient
time had been given to prepare for
the hearing.
Judge Bordwell continued the mat
ter until Friday next. Whether a fur
Their continuance will be granted at
that time is problematical. 1t is quite
possible, however, as the attorneys rep
resenting the mayor also represent w.
Fl. Carlson, of the Consolidated bank,
and hearing on a writ of mandate in
which Mr.. Carlson is the plaintiff is
set for that day before Judge Conrey.
The mayor has also been ordered to
appear before Arthur e. Bagley, a no.
tary, at $3.50 today to give his deposit
