SAYS HE FAILED TO
FIND MEXICAN Mine
WITNESS IN M'CR0SSAN TRIAL
TELLS OF FINDINGS
DR.. Hammett, Secretary of cordiIIers
Company, Expresses Doubt as to
His Official Status in
Concern

DR.. Charles A. Hammett, claiming to
hold the position of secretary and
treasurer of the Cordillera Mining
company, but, nevertheless, express
ing doubt as to his official status in
the concern, was the only witness to
testify yesterday in the preliminary
examination of Charles Wesley NC
Crossan, charged with issuing a false
prospectus regarding the value of the
company's property.
DR. Hammett said he visited the
property in the state of Sonora, Mexico,
in June, 1907, passing three hours in
an investigation. Less than that time,
he said, was sufficient for him to de-
terrnine the value of the mine.
THE only persons on the ground
were Arthur and Thomas Hamilton
and two Mexicans, and the only evil
dence of work that I could see con-
sisted of three blast holes in a rock
at the end of the canyon" said the
witness.
Attorneys for McCrossan endeavored
to connect Hammett with the making
of a report to stockholders in the fol-
lowing January, in which the posi-
bilities of the property were painted
in more glowing colors, If possible,
than the representations in the Nc
Crossan prospectus but the witness
said he knew nothing about the re-
port.
The examination will be resumed at
l o'clock today.

STEAMSHIP LINE
TO BE IMPROVED
LOS ANGELES IS BENEFITED
BY INNOVATION
Boat Riverside of Observation-Disclosures
Service to ply Exclusively Be-
tween San Diego and Mex
leo, Saving Time

The rapid growth of its California
service has impelled the American
Hawaiian line to add a new steamer
in the service between Salina Cruz and
San Diego, which will be of special
benefit to Los Angeles. In addition 10
the Navadan and the Nebraskan,
third steamer, the Riverside, is in
the company's coastwise service, but
consignnents will not be handled by
the new steamer farther north than
Los Angeles. 80.
This will be of considerable penent
to Southern California patrons, LOT II u
will not be necessary for outward
shipments from Los Angeles via the
Americana Hawaiian line TO be taken
north to Seattle. as has been the case.
Goods to be shipped from Los Angeles
to New York will be taken by the
Riverside direct to the Tehuantepec
route. effecting a considerable saving
of time. -
The Riverside's first voyage in the
coastwise service will bring her to san
Diego July IS. Her advent means that
the company will have a steamer out
of san Diego every eleven days there-
after, and the sailing time 10 New
York will have minimum OF twenty
1--WE days with not more than week
over that at the most.
New Schedule
The new coastwise schedule, which
will be distributed among Los Angeles
merchants by j. B. AleAanoer, iocai
agent of the American Hawaiian line,
pives the following arrivals at san
Diego. sailings being three days later
in each case: e.,,.

AGED MOTHER is AWARDED
JUDGMENT AGAINST SON
Suit Involves a Lost Trunk Used by
Father as Safety Deposit
Box

A suit involving a lost trunk, used
by an aged man as safety deposit
box, and the alleged embezzlement or
its contents by a son, was decided IN
Judge Conrey's court yesterday when
Mrs. Katherine Nelson, "a years old,
was awarded a judgment of $3.50 in an
action against her son, John b. Mel
son, jr., for the recovery of $11SO.
In March, 1906, according to Mrs.
Nelson, she and her husband came to
Los Angeles from Cotton and took a
residence with their son and daughter
in-law. Nelson brought his trunk, be-
lieved to contain a large sum OF
money with him, and when he died
two years later his widow returned to
Cotton, leaving the money chest in the
care of her son.
In August, 1908, the daughter-in-law
died and Mrs. Nelson filed a claim
against her estate for $11S0, which, she
claimed, was the amount. left in the
trunk by her husband when he died.
This claim was disallowed and the
suit for recovery followed.
The evidence yesterday covered
practically every financial transaction
by the son during the past three years,
the arithmetical deductions of the
court showing that Mrs. Nelson was
entitled to $3.50, which her son was
ordered to pay.

VALIDITY OF WILL
DEPENDS ON WOMAN
QUESTION OF UNS0UND MIND
Determined BY JURY
Claimed EmbezzIement Amounting to
$4,000 Is Traced to Girl Who
Took Chloroform with
Fatal Results

Whether Miss Alice Chevalier, who
killed herself at the home of her sister,
Mrs. Louise Holmes, April IA, 1907, was
of unsound mind when she made her
will is expected to be determined by
jury sworn in for that purpose in de-
partment No. of the superior court
yesterday. On the verdict depends the
validity of the will, in which Mrs.
Holmes is named as sole legatee, and
which is being contested by another
sister, Mrs. Marie Hartung of Anaheim.
For some years prior to her death
Miss Chevalier was employed as a con-
fidential clerk at the Vile de Paris.
She took chloroform with fatal results
when, it is said, embezzlements
amounting to about $4,000 were traced
to her, and a few hours before the
holding of a conference with the man
agement of the store looking toward
settlement of the matter. The defalca-
tions, according to her relatives, have
since been settled by the executor of
the estate, James F. Elder. These en-
bezzlements, said Edwin A. Meserve,
attorney for Mrs. Hartung, will be
proved and will be the basis for the al
legations of insanity.
