LOSES HIS LIFE BY FALL
FROM A SPEEDING TRAIN
Man Attempts to Board Car and Is
Crushed Beneath the
Wheels

While trying to board a rapidly
moving Southern Pacific freight train
at First and Alameda streets at s
o'clock yesterday afternoon John Ben
ditti, So years old, of GIG Alpine street.
fell beneath the wheels. Both of his
legs were severed near the hips and
he SUFFERED numerous decorations and
bruises on the face, body and hands.
He was taken to the receiving hospital
where he died shortly after his arrival.
The accident was witnessed by W.
A. Wick of 903 East Adams street and
by T. p. Harmon, gateman for the
railroad at the First street crossing.
They say Benditti and another man
had been standing near the railroad
crossing a short time before the arri-
val of a southbound freight train.
When the train drew near the two men
ran alongside the cars and the man
who was with Benditti boarded the
train safely. The latter ran along the
track for a short distance and then
made an attempt to catch the iron
ladder on a boXcar. He caught the
iron rod, but missed his footing and in
an instant lost his balance and swung
beneath the train.
When Bendittps companion saw that
the latter had met with an accident
he hurriedly alighted from the train;
took one look at the, mangled form of
his friend and then ran away.
The body of Benditti was removed
to the undertaking establishment of
Bresee Brothers, where the coroner
will hold an inquest.

ALLEGES HUSBAND
LEADS DOUBLE LIFE
In Suit for Divorce Wife Declares Man
Deserted Her on Account of
Difference in Re.
llgion

That John McAteer, proprietor of a
small store at Seventh street and Grand
avenue, lived a double life for two
years was the statement of his wife,
Mary V. McAteer, while testifying in
her suit for divorce in the superior
court yesterday.
The couple were married at Solomon
VILE, Ark, In 1902, and came to Los
Angeles three years later. In August,
1905, they sold their home on Forty
seventh street, following which trans
action Mrs. McAteer visited friends in
Long Beach. When she returned she
found a note written by her husband,
in which he stated he was going away
because they could not agree on re-
ligious matters. Since then, Mrs. Nc
Ateer said, she had not heard from nor
seen her husband.
"At his place of business he went
under the name of John Hill" said the
woman. IT discovered this a week after
we reached Los Angeles. When l asked
him to give his reason for assuming
another name he told me it was none of
my business. 1 never knew why he
did it,"
Mrs. McAteer's only supporting tes-
timony was the note written by her
husband, which was regarded by the
court as insufficient and the case was
continued until witnesses could be Sc
cured. This was done later in the day
and she was granted decree.
Two other DEGREES were granted
Mildred Banker from H. w. Banker
and w. B. Martin from Clara Martin.
The following suits were filed: Helen

PAYS $1,000 TO GET
USELESS EXPERIENCE
AUTHORITIES STOP SALE OF
EXPANDED BUTTER
Racker of Enterprise Sues to Recover
Money Invested When He
Finds Commercial Fea-
ture Lacking

IT cost L. Bleakmore 1000 to learn
how to make a two-pound butter ron
from sixteen ounces of butter ana a
small quantity of tactical fluid. But
when he endeavored to market the
product he was stopped by the tederal
authorities, who notified him that the
milk used in the process OF expansion
contained corn starch.
Bleakmore filed suit in the superior
court yesterday asking for a return OF
the money he had invested in the IN
ffated butter factory, alleging that ne
was induced to engage in the business
through misrepresentation and fraud.
Albert Ancker and Harry A. Marx are
the defendants.
According to B1eakmore, Marx rep
resented to him in June. 1906, that he
was the inventor of process whereby
he could make two pounds of butter
from one; that 1t was scientific
process. depending solely upon the
adaptation of high and low tempera-
ture, together with a certain velocity
applied to a mixture of butter and
milk; that he desired to secure capital
with which to manufacture the butter
and place it on the market.
Sees Process Work
Marx added that his brother-in-law,
Albert Ancker, had advanced about
$4,000 to be used in the work, but
wanted his money because as a mer-
chant of Los Angeles and banker of
Tehachapi his time was too fully oc-
cupied in other directions to permit his
being engaged in other business.
Bleakmore, two months after he was
first approached by Marx, went to
Ancker's residence and an illustration
of the butter expanding method was
given with the aid. he says, of Their
mometer and a mixer containing a
pound of butter and some milk. He
paid Ancker the amount of his loan and
expended $4,000 to establish a plant at
Anaheim. Orange county, forming a
company known as the American Dairy
company.
A month later the United States mar
shall for the southern district of Cali
fornia notified the manufacturers that
the milk used in the expansion process
contained corn starch, and that it's sale
must cease. Then the plant was closed
down.

DISMISSES CASE AGAINST
LAWYER FINED BY JUSTICE
Judge of Superior Court Finds Com
mitment to Custody of Sheriff
Is Faulty

Chester Smith, an attorney, who was
sentenced by Justice Ling Tuesday to
pay fine of 500 or serve fifty days in
the county Jail, was discharged by
Judge Willis of the superior court yes
terday after taking the matter to the
higher court on habeas corpus proceed
ings. Judge Willis granted the petition
for discharge on the ground that the
order of Justice Ling committing
Smith to the custody of the sheriff was
faulty.
At the same time the court admon-
ished the attorney that the facts al
legged in the affidavit of the justice that
Smith had represented to a client he
had filed a complaint in the justice
court, when the contrary was true, and
had pocketed the filing fee, constituted
a serious charge, and he was warned
against repetition of the alleged Of
Tense.
1t was stated later that affidavits
which will contain statements of the
facts in the contempt matter are in
course of preparation by the district
attorneys office and will be submitted
to the grievance committee of the Bar
