FOR HOME Is WORTHLESS
Miss Camilla {. Webster Testifies
That Former Friend Bilked Her
in Business Transaction

That she had been induced by a
friend whom she had known in the
east and whose acquaintance she had
renewed after she came to Los Angeles
to exchange her property for worthless
oil stock was the testimony of Miss
Camilla r. Webster in Judge Bord-
wells court yesterday in her suit
against G. A. Neil for the recovery of a
house and lot at 229 Union avenue.
Miss Weston said she knew Neil in
Skowhegan, Maine, and when she came
to Los Angeles several years ago asked
his advice as to the sale of her home.
Neil she said, induced her to ex-
change it for 1861 shares of stock of
the Hiawatha Oil company, and deed
ed the property to his wife. who sold
it for $4,000. The stock, she added
proved almost worthless.

Il suppose he is overcome by the dis
play of bunting" said Lieutenant
Haupt, who exerted his wonderful
strength and pushed out of the way a
balky horse attached to a delivery wag-
on that was blockading the cars at
First street and Broadway yesterday

toned to such magnificence, and have
to stop to view the sights, to the incon-
Venience of street cars and vehicles"

until Lieutenant Haupt placed his
shoulder to the wagon and forcibly
moved the unruly horse.
Now, when I was back at" con-
tnued the lieutenant. But the crowd
dispersed and the police officer was
compelled to forego the story to a
future date.

yesterday that the charge of burglary
cannot be maintained, as the entrance

open at the time the place was entered
and that the only charge upon which
any of the robbers can be tried is that
of grand larceny.

SWALLOWED POISON
TO ESCAPE TRIAL
HAILED TO COURT, ARTISAN
KILLS HIMSELF
Charged with Contempt of Judge S
Orders in Divorce Matter, John
Motz Answers Summons
with Life

A tragedy of the divorce court oc-
Cured yesterday when John Motz, a
carpenter living at 1925 Mignonette
street, swallowed a quantity OF
rough on rats preferring death to
a second appearance in court to an
swer to a charge of contempt. Motz
was taken to the courtroom in a weak
ened condition as a result of the
poison, and an hour later died at the
county Jail.
Several weeks go Motz wife, Laura
A. Motz, flied suit for divorce against
her husband, charging cruelty. Later
a complaint was made to Judge Will
bur that he was annoying his wife, and
an order to show cause why he should
not cease his interference was issued,
returnable in Judge James court last
Friday. Motz appeared in response to
the order and was told that he must
stop veXing his wife pending the out
come of tbs divorce trial.
The following day Judge James re-
ceived another complaint concerning
Motz' actions and a second order for
his appearance yesterday was issued
When he did not obey this order a
bench warrant was issued for his ar
rest and was placed in the hands Of
the sheriff.
When Deputies Fryer and Crowley
reached Motz' home they found the
door locked and forced an entrance into
the building. They found the man in
bed, fully clothed.
Boys" he said, = thought l would
save you the trouble of coming after
me, so I've taken rough on rats"
Treated by Surgeon
Motz' appearance was not that Of a
man who had taken poison and the
deputies hurried him to the courthouse
in the sherift's automobile. He eXhib-
tied slight weakness as he entered
the divorce court and his statement
that he had tried TO commit suicide
was communicated to Judge James,
who Immediately ordered him taken to
the county jail to be treated by DR..
I. NJ. Hart, the Jail physician.
Motz was staggering from the eff
fects of the poison as he entered the
Jail Dr. Hart administered an emetic
and Motz was undressed and placed in
bed. He died about an hour later.
Il took more than a half gallon of
almost clear fluid from Motz' stom-
ach," said Dr. Hart. when I put him
i'm bed and placed hot water bottles at
his feet he seemed greatly relieved and
believed all danger was past. [ went
to lunch, and when l returned he
seemed to be in better spirits, although
he talked very little. I went to the
jail office, leaving him alone about fif-
teen minutes When l again visited
him l found him dead"
DR.. Hart said search of the mans
clothing when he entered the iail
failed to disclose any poison, and ex-
pressed the belief that the rough on
rats had been taken so long before the
nan had been removed to the Jail that
he emetic and other treatment had the
effect of only temporarily reviving him.
The body was taken to Bresee Broth |
,rs' undertaking rooms, where an in
luest will be held today.

any time he will come to reasonable
terms. I want to run a half mile. For
some reason known only to himself,
Ferreira does not want to race that
distance, but names a quarter or three
eighths. My horse is not in shape,
being now out at pasture. Ferretra's
horse, on the other hand, is in fine
