Old Man Refuses to Prosecute
Son in Law, Saying 1t
Was All Joke

guardian viii probably be appointed
to take care of Arthur J. Eaton, the
aged jeweler. as Police Judge shortan
and Assistant District Attorney Duke
are impressed with the belief that there
is a conspiracy on foot to force the
old man TO give up all of his property
to his young wife. Lola Eaton. and
Joseph Landgraff. his son in law.
The sister of Eaton's late wife, Mrs.
G. f. Pope, 154 Newton avenue. East
Oakland, and Eaton's daughter, Mrs.
Landgraff. win be asked to meet the
old man and Duke tomorrow to discuss
the question of guardianship.
When the cases of Landgraff and
Lester Fitzsimmons. charged with dis
turbing the peace, were called in Judge
Shortall's court yesterday Eaton took
the stand and said he did not want to
prosecute the cases as the whole affair
was huge joke. He admitted that a
Spanish woman, Ellen Warren alias
Birdie Chase. had been brought TO his
cottage at SS3 Shrader street by Land
graft; that she had lived there for
nine days and had obtained $4,000 from
him.
Young Mrs. Eaton testified that they
had been all drinking at the house. but
there were no ghosts or knives sharp
ened or anything like that. Her
husband had decided some property to
her on the date of their marriage, July
IS. but later she corrected herself and
said he had made out a Will leaving
everything TO her.
The judge released Landgraff and
Fitzsimmons on their own recognizance
till September is and continued the
cases till that time, instructing Duke
and Detectives De la Guerra and Hy-
land to make meantime a searching
investiga tion into the alleged conspir-
acy. Later Duke and the detectives
took Eaton into the judges chambers
and closely questioned him. He said he
was worth about S25.000 and admitted
that he had made viii in favor of his
young wife. He denied that he had
given his wife or Landgraff any money
beyond what was necessary for drink
and supplies for the home. He had
been drinking heavily for over year,
bat had been sober for week.
