OPEN WORK WAISTS
CONTESTS DIVORCE BROUGHT
BY HIS WIFE
Woman Granted Decree on Ground of
Cruelty-Is Granddaughter of
Gov. Pho Pico-Other
Separations

That his wife, Diana M. Hatton, did
not battle the baby frequently and wore
peek-a-boo waists was part of the tes-
timony of her husband, Will M. Hat
ton, who contested a divorce action in
the superior court yesterday.
Mrs. Hatton said her husband was
extremely cruel in his treatment of her
and decree was granted her on this
charge. Mrs. Hatton is a daughter of
]. J. Carrillo, justice of Santa Monica,
and granddaughter of Pho Pico, the last
governor Of California under Spanish
rule.
DR.. John H. Martindale, who was
married in Minneapolis twenty two
years ago, said his wife, Ella W. Mar
tindale, deserted him in May, 1907, be-
cause she believed their lives could
never be harmonized. A decree was
granted.
Alfred Cornelious said his wife, Pearl
Cornelius, left home in 1906 while he
was at work and he has not seen her
since. He was given decree.
Other petitions for legal separation
granted were Eva Caldwell from
Charles A. Caldwell, Blanche B. Wal
ters from Albert c. Walters, Maud F.
Mather from John c. Mather and
Blanche Haley from A. L. Haley.
Two suits were filed, Robert A
Bracket against Frances Bracket and

TRIES TO KILL WIFE
IS FINDING OF JURY
MOTHER SAYS RELATIVES OF
SON WERE INSANE
Believed Stepping on Nails in Youth
Affected Mans Mind-Was Hit
on Head with Heavy
Bundle

Sanford Brent, charged with shooting
his wife, Hattie Brent, September 10,
with intent to kill was found guilty by
a jury in Judge Willis court yesterday
and will be sentenced at 10 o'clock Sat
urday
The prosecution rested its case at
noon with the testimony of a police Of
ficer in regard to the purchase of the
weapon used by Brent. Among the
first witnesses for the defense was
Brent's, mother, Mrs. Mary N. French,
who came to Los Angeles from Penn
sylvania to aid her son. Mrs. French
testified that near relatives of Brent
had shown evidences of insanity and
that her son stepped on a nail when a
boy, narrowly escaping lockjaw as a
result. This accident, she believed, had
affected his mind to some extent, and
this condition, she said, was rendered
more acute when Brent was struck on
the head by a large bundle of papers
ten years ago.
The jury was out less than an hour.

DISBARMENT CASE
IN JUDGES HANDS
PROCEEDINGS AGAINST DAN
FORD ARE CLOSED
ATTORNEY ON STAND IN HIS
OWN BEHALF
Saws He Believes Statement He Made
to Client is True Because of
Admission to Supreme
Court

Disbarment proceedings brought by
the Los Angeles Bar ASSOCIATION
against Attorney w. ]. Danford were
closed yesterday and the matter was
submitted to Judge Hutton of the su-
perior court
Attorney Danford was on the witness
stand the greater part of the day. Inc
charge that he represented TO MRS.
Catherine E. Smith that he could care
for her interests in a criminal proceed
ing in the United States district court
to which he had not been admitted, ne
explained by saying he believed he was
entitled to practice in that court by
reason of his admission to the supreme
court of the United States.
'I believe now that l have legal
right to practice in the district court,
and if this is denied believe 1 can in
woke the power of the courts to compel
my admission said Danford.
John North, deputy district attorney,
who, with Henry J. Stevens, was ap-
pointed by the Bar association to take
charge of the disbarment proceedings,
denied Danford's statement that he felt
any animosity toward Danford. Attor-
ney LIE Comte Davis was the last wit
ness. He said Danford had told him
Oscar Lawler, United States district at
torney, had been far too officious in his
actions when Danford appeared in the
district court seeking admission.
"Danford offered to pay me part of
the money he had received from Mrs.
Smith if I would associate myself with
him in her case," said Mr.. Davis. Il
told him I had already been retained
by Mrs. Smith"
With respect to the $4,000 paid to Dam
ford by Mrs Smith Attorney Davis
said he had handled a similar case for
$1,000

WORkHOUSE TRUSTY
ELUDES Ills JAILERS
Vagrart Fears More Serious Charge
and Runs for Liberty While
Helping Other Prisoners
from Wagon

Evidently fearing a more serious
charge would be preferred against him,
Irving Danner, a prisoner serving fifty
days for vagrancy, made a successful
break for liberty yesterday.
Danner was arrested a short time ago
by Detectives Mcnamara and Carroll
on suspicion of snatching a purse from
a woman. The evidence was insufficient
to warrant a charge of robbery, and he
was convicted of vagrancy.
Shortly after he began serving his
sentence Danner was made a trusty
and allowed more liberties than the or
binary prisoners. He appeared salts
fed with his lot and performed his
work in capable manner.
Yesterday when a wagOnload Of
prisoners arrived at the workhouse to
serve time Danner and other TRUSTEES
went out to help bring them in. AS
soon as he reached the wagon and
while the prisoners were alighting Dan
ner ran away. He had placed the pris-
oners between himself and the officers
and obtained a good start. He was
pursued by several officers, but he ran
at a pace that was too much for his
pursuers and soon outdistanced them.
The chase lasted for several blocks,
until the fugitive turned a corner and
all trace of him was lost.

These demands are:
First-A regular firemen, who shall
also be a police officer and who shall

municipal improvements. Th~y were
met by a committee of the association,
who took them around the little suburb
in closed carriages and pointed out the
things asked for.
Every city official who made the trip
yesterday is of the opinion that these
modest demands should be granted.
There are several points that must
come under the jurisdiction of the
council, and the Gardena association
will go before that body next Tuesday.

annexed two years ago the people OF
Gardena and other portions of the ter

the engine, and when Seymour ex-
planned that he had not as he did not
suppose it had been started yet, Hahn
explained that it had been running

Municipal Affairs
WILL BLAST HOPES
WITH ALARM REPORT
Fire Commissioners Will Not Bring in
Recommendation Council Expects
of Them on GaneweII Box
System

The hopes of the majority of the city
council that the fire commission will
return a report unfavorable to the
Gamewell system of fire alarm, now in
use by the city, so there will be an ex-
cuse to install some other system, are
likely to be rudely shattered when this
report is Forthcoming.
Fire Commissioners Kolff and Nc
Garry, the special committee having
the matter in hand, gave a hint of what
this report would be at the meeting
of the commission yesterday. CommiS-
sioner Kolff said about 100 large cities
had been written to, and all but half q
dozen had replied. In all these cities,
except one, the GameWell system is in
use. and while other systems have been
tried, they have not proved as salts
factory. This is the experience of Chief
Lips, expressed at the meeting yes
terday.
Commissioner Kolff said the commit
tee would be ready to report in two
weeks. F. w. FrankhouSer, superin-
tendent of the police and fire alarm
system, is preparing a lengthy showing
of figures to convince the council that
the Gamewell system is the best.
For year and a half a special COM
mittee of the council has been inveSti-
agting the GameWeu system with an
idea of determining if another system
could not be installed as satisfactory.
The objection to the Gamewell is the
great expense involved. Everything
connected with it is covered by patents,
and the city is forced to send to New
York to purchase the little squares of
glass that cover the fronts of the boxes.
One of these glasses is broken every
time an alarm is turned in from a box.
In this connection Fire Chief Lips
said yesterday there were more alarms
bv telephone than from the boxes, be-
cause of the great scarcity of alarm
boxes. The council has not purchased
any of these boxes for two years, and
q large number are badly needed.

TAMALE VENDERS' BRAWL
TAKEN INTO POLICE COURT
Two Accused of Battery, but One
Bears All Blame, Exonerating
Other

F. G. Green, former employe of
Fred Fleming, who keeps a tamale
stand at the corner of First and Los
Angeles streets, appeared in Justice
Austin's court yesterday, charging
Harry Fulcher and Elmer Lewis with
battery. That Green had met with
rough treatment was evident from his
appearance. Both eyes were blackened
and his face raw.
He claims he was set upon by the
two boys. who pounded him merciless-
ly. Fulcher takes all the blame for the
battery. He shays he alone inflicted
the injuries on the person of Green and
that Lewis had nothing to do with it.
FuIcher is employed by Fleming to look
after the, tamale stand. He claims
Green was angry because he lost his
job and that he frequently visited the
tamale wagon to insult the man who
took his place. The examination will
be held Monday.
