Brother-in-Ld1c of Dead Nan
Taken Into Custody.

Waltham. Mass. Nov Z7-The arrest OF
Tobie lie Blanc. on the charge Of contempt
in refusing TO answer questions, was the
most interesting outcome OF the inquest
held to-day into the death Of Clarence F
Glover. who was shot and killed last Sat
urday night. and who. in his dying state
ment, declared that Miss Hattie lie Blanc.
a servant in his family, had fired the shots
Tobie lie Blanc is a brother of Mrs
Glover. the widow OF the murdered man.

police have desired 20 question him since
the investigation Of the shooting began
He was found to-day at Forest Hills and
was conducted by a deputy sheriff TO the

was held in secret
No information was given out as 10 the
nature Of the questions which the witness

presided. lie Blanc was placed under ar
rest and was taken TO a cell at the police
station. He viii be brought into coIt
Monday morning for a hearing.
District Attorney Higgins said after the
inquest that the mystery vas by NO means
solved. and that the Ease still contains
many possibilities. although he admitted
that some points had been cleared up 1t
was apparently established that Mrs
Glover. the widow. was al home at the
time Of the shooting. and not at the 1aun-

That the bullets found IN Glover's body

official present al the inquest
Hattie Le Blanc, who is under arrest
charged with rhe shooting, was not called

Arthur B. Glover. brother Of the slain
laundryman. said tonight.
Myself and brothers feel that much has
been done TO besmirch the name Of CIar-
ence. with the evident intention OF making
things look "a black against him a. posi-
ble. So that others who clearly know a
great deal more about the murder than
they care to confess might keep out Of the
limelight-
1T was on that account that We thought
IL best 10 engage an attorney 20 handle
matters for US properly. We do insist that
Justice be done and that Hattie Leblanc
have full protection. There is not one Of
rs who believes that she shot Clarence.
She would not have the nerve nor any
good motive. but others would.

Los Angeles herald., 1909-08-12

Take the livery men who wash their
rigs every day. Lamps will have to
be removed and replaced, as oil and
water do not go together. 1t is time
and money wasted to those people,
with no earthly excuse or reason for it..
If they want to curb the deadly auto,
it is not necessary to take in the horse.
A locomotive is a machine, not a horse;
an automobile is a machine, not a
horse. Neither Is horse an auto, and
I do not think the same law will fit
them both. To enforce such a law
against the horse owners is unneces-
sary, unjust and uncalledy for, and
while our city council passes such an
ordinance, I do not believe they have
any particular interest in it, nor give
it any attention, but pass it at the re-
quest of somebody else. The team
sters union, driving clubs and horse
men throughout the city should protest
to our honorable council and ask them
to modify or repeal this ordinance be-
fore it creates hardships on own
ers of teams that are now paying $40
a ton for hay and $32 for barley and
keeping a family on $4 day.

ADDS TESTIMONY ENDORSING
DISCHARGED coNVICT's LETTER

BAKERSFIELD, Cal, Aug. S.-[Ed-
itor I-erald]: It happens that I also
saw the item in the San Francisco
Daily News dealing with the letter of
a discharged convict and quoted by
one of your correspondents in yester-
davis issue. Probably for lack of
space your correspondent did not give
the article in its entirety, but 1t seems
TO me so convincing that | send 1t
Won in the hope that it may interest
readers of the Letter Box. 1t runs as
follows:
"This letter came into the Daily
News office a few days ago. Charles
Montgomery, president of the state
prison commission, was asked concern
ing the statements made in it.
This man is undoubtedly telling
the truth said Mr.. Montgomery.
And now conditions are not as bad
for the ex-convict as they were few
years ago. The last time 1 went to
Folsom I met a man there serving his
second term. "This Is better than So
ciety," he told me, "for the man who
has once been in" Do you know, that
after his first term and release, that
man was arrested four times by the
police here for vagrancy, although he
was working right along as a carpenter
and earning 81 a day? Finally, when
the gas pipe thug scare was over the
city and the police could do nothing,
they arrested this poor fellow again,
