tify and disclose his knowledge of
and concerning matters under in

toned to. and before the said grand
Jury. That thereupon the follow
ing questions were then propounded
to and asked of the said Thomas

attorney of said county, and to
which said questions the said
Thomas Lee Woolwine made an
swer and refused to make answer,
as follows, and the following pro-
ceedings were had and the same
are hereby certified to the honorable
superior court within and for the
said county, as follows;
Thomas Lee Woolwine, having
been first duly sworn, testified and
refused to answer questions as fol-
lows:
Question by Mr.. Fredericks-State
your name, age, residence and oc-
cupation.
Answer-Thomas Lee Woolwine,
S3 years of age; l live at 1040 Ken
sington road, in the city of Los An
geles, and my business is that of
a lawyer, and L now occupy posi-
ton of deputy city attorney with
the duties of chief prosecuting Of
ficer of the city.
Ouestion-And in the last few
weeks or months you may state
whether or not you have been max
ing an investigation to ascertain
whether or not vice is being pro-

here in theN city?
Answer-I should answer that
question in this way: That if
knew these things of my own
knowledge, that it wouldn't be
necessary for a grand jury inquisi-
ton, and would swear to the COM
plants myself, and further, that
such knowledge as I have comes
almost entirely by means of the
employment of persons who had
looked into these matters, and so
far as I am individually concerned,
that is to the best of my knowledge
and belief at this moment, I do
not believe that L could testify of
my own knowledge as to the pro-
lection of vice, unless it be that I
have been among the-made trip
to the red light district and saw
that it was in eXistence-saw the
women there-went with Dana

THE FULL VOTE
DEMOCRATS CONFERRING ON
BEST WAY
PLAN CLOSE HoUsE-To-HoUsE
CANVASS
Committeeman Will Meet Monday
Night at Turner Hall to Arrange
Methods of Covering All
Precincts

Los Angeles Democrats propose tn
see to it that a complete house-to-
house canvass is made of the city and
of as much of the county as possible,
especially in the Incorporated cities,
to get out a full party vote.
A meeting of the Les Angeles county
central committee and others who are
willing to assist in a close canvass OF
the several precincts of the city and
county will be held at Turner hall, 81
South Main street, at o'clock Monday
evening, October 19.
Methods of securing careful can
vass of the precincts will be consid-
cred, also the best means of getting. out
the Democratic vote.
If close canvass of the precincts
is secured and the vote gotten out it is
thoroughly believed that the Bryan
and Kern vote will be at least 5000
greater than if the work stated were
not done.
in some of the precincts committee
men have already divided their terri
| tory in quarters and assigned an as
! sistant to each quarter section to make
personal canvass.
-Four men to a precinct in two weeks
| time, 1t is believed, can get to all the
voters, though more volunteers will be
welcomed, especially in the larger pre-
| cinctS.

ton now from others that any CITY
official in Los Angeles is protecting
vice?
Answer-I refuse to answer that
on the ground that it Is hearsay..
You can get the witnesses IL you
want to learn that.
Question-Beg pardon?
AnsWer-I say l refuse to answer

you insist that the witness-Mr.
Foreman
The foreman-I want your in
structions upon the questions, Mr.
Mr. Fredericks-That that is a
competent question and that Mr.
Woolwine is required under the law
to answer 1t.
Mr.. Foreman--That is your in
struction to this grand jury. Well,
we have to require it, Mr.. Wool
wine.
Answer-I refuse to answer; cer-
tify me for contempt.
Question-Do you know anyone,
Mr.. Woolwine, who could assist

Answer-I think l do.
Question-Wil you give the
names of one or more of those per-
sons to the jury?
AnSWer-I refuse to answer that

the sources of your information, in
order that they may run down the
matter and ascertain whether there
is any truth or facts in your
charges. We, the grand jury, de-
sire your assistance in that matter,
in that you have made these
charges and the district attorney
requests that you state to the grand
Jury now the names of persons who
will assist in making this investiga-
ton.
b.
the ground that it would call for a
conclusion on my part; that it
would be hearsay. On the further
ground that to give you these
names would enable you to block
this investigation; that you have
no intention of carrying this in
vestigation to a logical conclusion;
that you never have wanted it to
be taken, and that on one occasion,
to my knowledge, you have told
person what the evidence was that
l first submitted to the grand jury.
Question-Specify the person,
Mr.
Answer-A man by the name of
Hurst, in your own office.
Question-Hurst?
Answer-Yes, and on the further
ground that you made a public
declaration to the paper stating
that-giving your conclusions as to
my evidence submitted before this
body and testify to things that I
am ready and willing at all times
to come before this body of men
on the 1-st day that I appeared
before it. And l wish to say further
