HONORED CITIZEN IS
CALLED BY DEATH
Benjamin F. Livingston, Attorney,
Statesman and Scientist, Passes
Away on Eve of Sixtieth
Wedding Anniversary

Benjamin Franklin Livingston, attor-
ney, statesman and scientist, died yes
terday at his home, 1857 Hobson street,
aged rs years, just as arrangements
were being made to celebrate the six
teth wedding anniversary of Mr.. and
Mrs. Livingston. Mr.. Livingston had
resided in California only the past
eight years, but during that time had
become a prominent figure in the cham
pionship of the orange growers against
the orange packers in their early con-
tests Mr.. Livingston had had large
experience in this line, having owned
some of the best orange groves in
Florida and later taking up the grow
ing of pineapples in that state.
Mr.. Livingston had a remarkable
career, being left at the age of IS
years the sole support Of his widowed
mother and three younger children.
After many hardships he secured
position in country store, and in four
years was owner of the establishment.
AT the age of 10 Mr.. Livingston was
married. When the Civil war broke out
he formed a company which was en-
listed in the Eleventh Missouri regi-
ment. After a rapid rise he was made
colonel and was placed in charge of
the troops at Cape Girardeau, where he
remained during most of the conflict.
After the war Colonel Livingston
went to Cairo, ILL.,, where he engaged
in business. At odd times he had
studied law and was admitted to the
bar of Illinois. He rose rapidly at the
bar and was soon we'll known lawyer,
but his eyesight failing in 1870, he
moved with his family to Waldo, Fla
There he started an orange grove
practiced law some and made a study
Of astronomy and other sciences. In
few years he was q recognized as
tronomer and coud tell from memory
when each important star would ap-
pear and the time it would be visible.
After the great freeze, when his orange
grove, zone of the finest in the state,
was ruined, Mr.. Livingston went with
his family to st. Petersburg, Tampa
bay, where he started another orange
orchard and the cultivation of pineap-
pies. He continued his studies, reading
up metaphysical and psychology.
Eight years ago he came to Califor-
mia and three years ago, in order to be
near his widowed daughter he moved
to Los Angeles, where he has spent his
time quietly, beloved by his family and
friends and respected and esteemed by
an ever enlarging circe of friends, who
will be saddened to learn of his death.
Colonel Livingston is survived by
his widow, with whom he had COM
peted nearly sixty years of happy we'd
ded ife, Mrs. S. A. Livingston; a daugh-
James F. Roberts, whom he had reared
from infancy; several grandchildren
and other relatives.
The funeral will be held this morn
ing at 10 o'clock at the chapel of the
Garrett Undertaking company, the SER
vice to be private. Burial will be made
in Rosedale cemetery.

SUSPECT CONFESSES
he SHOT RIGHETTI
NUCH0LS ASSERTS HE ALONE
COMMITTED DEED
Declares He Intended Simply to Hold
Up Victim-PoIice Surgeons Say
Wounds Will Prove
Fatal

Two men are believed to be involved
in the shooting Of Frank Righetti, to
which E. B. Nuchols has confessed.
The shooting occurred in front of
Righetti's residence, 1883 Sunset boule-
ward last night. The police surgeons
say Righetti cannot recover.
According to Captain of Detectives
Flammer, Nuchols has confessed and
declared that he was the only man in
VolVed in the crime. Witnesses to the
shooting, however, declare that two
men made the attack on Reghetti, and
the police are searching for an accom-
plice.
Righetti was shot twice, and not the
least mystery in the case is the cause
of the shooting. Nuchols and the po-
lice declare the affair was a holdup,
but they do not explain why Righetti
was shot down after throwing up both
hands. One of the bullets clipped his
intestines three times, and this is the
wound which will cause death, accord
ing to the surgeons.
Nuchols was arrested about an hour
after the shooting and only short dis
tance from the scene. Mrs. Righetti,
a bride Of a year, declares she saw
Nuchols pass her home only a few
minutes before the shooting, and fur
ther declares that her husband has
identified the arrested man as the one
who shot him.
Nuchols is only boy and comes from
OXnard
