with Their ChiId-Decree
Granted

avoid it,"
Mccormack, said the wife, lived with
his mother, partaking of the good
his wife money with which to purchase

appeared, taking their only child, and
for six months she was unable to find
him. Then he returned to Long Beach
and she procured the child through the
intervention of the police.
Nellie J. Cate told the court her lot
was a lonely one. During a period of

FEAR INQUISITORS
MAY NOT AGREE.
MUCH COMMENT ON FRICTION
AMONG GRAND JURORS
Charge Made by WooIwine Recalled.
Rumor That Two Reports
Will Be SUBJ
mitted

Publication yesterday Of the fact that
there is considerable friction existing
between factions of the grand jury and
that this supposed attempt to submit
a report generating the public officials
whose actions have been investigated
led to a personal encounter, caused no
end of talk and speculation at the
court house yesterday. That the fric-
ton still exists and may result in two
reports being submitted was the sub
stance of one credited rumor.
There will be no meeting of the grand
jury today. Instead a committee will
gather in the jury room on the fourth
floor of the county building at 10 o'clock
and endeavor to straighten out the
mass of testimony secured during the
inquiry into the charges of protected
vice into a report to be submitted to
Presiding Judge James.
Comment on the story that Foreman
E. w. Jones had struck ]. j. Andrews
was, as a rule, adverse to the head of
the jury. The interest, so manifest
when Thomas l.. Woolwine, former city
prosecutor, called the attention of the
grand jury to conditions existing in
the city was revived, and his prediction
that a general whitewash would result
if District Attorney Fredericks took
charge of the investigation, was re-
called.
BY some persons, the exhibition Of
anger on the part of Major Jones was
regarded as tantamount to a confession
that his faction had lost. The fact
that the jury is divided will, it is be-
lieved, result in majority and minority
reports being handed to Judge James;
for, it is stated, so great is the friction
between the two factions that it would
be impossible for the entire body to
agree on one report.
The jury will hold its next regular
meeting Monday

BAIL OF ACCUSED CLERK
RAISED AND FURNISHED

Ernest Stowe, charged with stealing
goods ffom st. Pierre Bros, South
Spring street clothiers, where he was
employed as a clerk, appeared in po-
lice court yesterday morning and en-
tered a plea of not guilty. At the re-
quest of the district attorney, Stoves
bail was increased from $500 to $780,
Stowe asked for a jury trial and his
case was set for January 22
Stowe is represented by Attorney
Paul Schenck. When the question of
increasing the amount of bail came up
Schenck stated his client had no in
tention of leaving the city, and de-
clared that if he had intended to escape
he could have done So. Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Mccormick replied that
he had additional information which
warranted his asking for an increase
in the bonds. 1.-THE defendant might
not have had any inclination to leave,
but he may be of a different opinion
since consulting his attorney said
Mccormick
Justice Frederickson stated that he
must be governed by the judgment
of the prosecuting attorney, as the lat
ter was in a position to know the de-
tails of the case.
A brother of the accused, who came
to Los Angeles from San Francisco to
assist his relative, furnished the neces-
sary amount and Stowe was again re-
leased.

and stockings and a large amount of
clothing.

supplied to the needy, besides rent
having been paid for poor families,

tainment and Motley H. Flint those of
the bail.
Following are the officers and trus-
tees who will take part in the success
