MAKES OWN DEFENSE
BUT IS CONVICTED
JOHN LAPIQUE FOUND GUILTY
BY COURT
Conducts Trial Ably and Takes Many
Exceptions to Rulings of Judge.
Charge, Obtaining Money
FraudulentIy

John Lapidue was found guilty OF
obtaining money under false pretenses
by a jury in Judge Jamison's depart
ment of the superior court yesterday
and will appear for sentence next Fri
day.
Lapioue acted as his own attorney
and fought his case strenuously. Though
not legal practitioner Lapique, con-
Quoted his case in a remarkably ef-
ficient manner. His knowledge OF
criminal law and court procedure, TO-
gether with his shrewdness, nave
served him well.
He is accused of having sold lot in
Royle Heights to Baptiste Camgros.
The nroperty belonged to Richard Cor
coran and his wife, Mary Corcoran.
Iapique produced a document purport-
ing to be an option on the property.
The alleged option bore the names OF
Corcoran and his wife, who testified
they never saw the document before
and had never signed 1t.
Handwriting experts were called ana
their testimony conflicted, one claiming
the signatures as appearing on the pa
per was tracing from the names writ
ten on another paper, while the other
expert declared the signatures were
genuine. TT.
Lapioue is peculiar character. He
claims he was associated Win fbueA III
San Francisco several years ago, and
they disagreed and Ruef attempted TO
place him in the penitentiary. Then.
Lapique asserts, the tables were turned
and Ruef was enmeshed in the tolls OF
tine law, as the result of the activity OF
friends of Lapique
The convicted man will probably ap-
peal his case, as he expressed intention
Of doing so If an adverse verdict was
returned.
Almost every time an objection made
by him was overruled he took an ex.
ception to the ruling. The transcript
of the case will no doubt show more
exceptions than any transcript of g
similar length which has been made
for several years.
"If had paid $1,000 for an attorney
he could not have handled the case
any better than have" said Lapiquf
during q five-minute recess yesterday
IT have studied in my cell and have
thrown my whole heart and soul into
this matter"
Lapique said he first read law while
working in a real estate office in Sar
Francisco.

The musical concert to be given at
THE opera house Thursday evening.
under the direction of Miss Cora
tAtchison, is being looked forward to
by large number with considerable
interest and pleasure, as it will be I'M
doubtedly one of the finest musical
entertainments OF the season.
Miss Atchison and those who win
assist have been working hard and
faithfully and the result is that fine
program has been arranged that will
please all. Miss Atchison is well
known as fine musician and teach
er of considerable pianist's ability.
She has won a reputation OF making
thorough and complete success in
EVERY thing that she undertakes and
therefore stands high in the estima-
ton of the many who know her.
The features of the evenings enter
tainment will be some fine piano
solos, duos and quartettes of the
highest order by Miss Atchison's most
advanced pupils. Miss Genevieve
IIaymaker, the singer, has beauti-
full soprano voice of wide range aud
rich quality and of considerable dra-
matte power, including resonance,
sorority and musical temperament

personality that never fails to please.
T. j. Shaw, the violinist, has achiev-
ed splendid reputation as a soloist
of the highest order, his finished play
ing and full, warm tone combined
with a seriousness and devotion to
his art commands at all times the
most respectful attention.
AS the entertainment is given sole
ly for benevolent purpose it is hoped
that 1t will be well patronized and
as good music always appeals in
most eloquent manner to the best
that slumbers within the human soul.

An enemy in view is worth two in ambush.
When a man makes his mark in the world
