In response to an order made by
Judge Rives Monday, George w. Pat

near Glendale, was before the lunacy
commission yesterday to answer
charges made by Miss Nj. l.. Hunt. a
neighbor, who claimed Patterson had
filed an insanity complaint against her
unjustly
Miss Hunt. who is a dressmaker, said
Patterson was actuated by malice. Pat
terson reiterated his belief that the
woman was mentally unsound, saying
she threw water into an alley he was
building near her property, and ex-
pressed the belief that smoking should
be regarded as a penitentiary offense.
Miss Hunt said Patterson was cha-
grined because he failed of election 70
an office in the Spiritualist Tract as
ISOLATION, and declared he had annoye1
her by throwing stones at her house
and piling dirt against the building
after she told him she had voted
against him at a meeting of stock
holders.
A peculiar feature of the case was
that Patterson had been advised by
one deputy district attorney to swear
out the insanity complaint against Miss
Hunt, while another deputy indicated
by questions propounded to Patterson
q. belief that his action was the result
of spite. Miss Hunt was discharged

getting work on a railroad, where the
age limit is 40. OVerwork, it is be-

month ago, Mrs. Anna Elizabeth Judd,
committed suicide by inhaling illum-

The body was found by Mrs. M. C.

odor of gas, and when she entered the
small room where Mrs. Judd lived she
found her wrapped up in a blanket
lying ON the floor with the tube from
the gas jet between her teeth
The woman was employed as a seam

REDuIGHT AIRED
BY GRAND JURY
FIVE WITNESSES EXAMINED BY
lNQUISlTI0N
Defendants to RusseI's Suit for DAM
ages by Reason of DisorderIy
Places Are Witnesses
at Inquiry

For the first time since the grand
jury began its investigation OF alleged
protected vice in Los Angeles all wit
nesses waiting in the corridor were
examined yesterday. They numbered
five and included Frank T. Rimpau,
druggist, 1855 North Main street; Jacque
Levi, cattle dealer, 1405 Pleasant ave-
nue.; J. b. Collins. formerly i'm the
delivery business; A. Metzger, furni-
ture salesman and Albert Fletcher
Russell.
Property ownership in the redlight
district again was the subject of In
curry yesterday. Jacque Levi said ne
owned certain houses on Commercial
street at one time, but hal sold his
property to Joseph Petit of Chicago.
Petit is one of the defendants in suit
by Russell last April in which he
claimed certain houses on Commercial
street. which he owned, had depreci-
ated in value because of the uses to
which surrounding buildings were put:
Russell demanded $4,000 damages and
a restraining order preventing the own
ers of the buildings from using them
for immoral purposes.
Practically all the defendants to Rus-
sells suit have been witnesses before
the grand jury, among them being
George La Cour, Max Goldschmidt, Z.
|SN'NAANsNi
Van Den Dale, Joseph Dubuisson, curt
Waldenfes and Hector Rabagliatl.
The suit was filed April u. July 8
an order to show cause why re-
straining order should not issue was
dismissed, and since that time nothing
has been done in the case. The reason
for the dismissal of the order appears
to be a mystery. Russell himself says
he does not know, but would be willing
to pay a thousand dollars for the in
formation. He also expressed the be-
lief witnesses were not telling all they
knew to the investigating body. One
man. he said, was called into the jury
room and emerged within five min
utes. When he came out, he was heard
to say the investigation would amount
to nothing, and Russell declares the
witness was possessed of sufficient
knowledge to keep him answering
questions the greater part of days
session.
No definite time can be fixed when
the Jury will make a report, but it 1s
believed something showing partial
result of its labors will be handed to
Judge James before the first of the
year.
