A Danasrov, Subject,

Professor Henry Drummond when . boy discovered that he could hypnotize people. At a birthday party little girl declined to play the piano. Drum mond happened to catch her eye and said, "Play." To his surprise she rose at once, went to the piano and played. At another time he hypnotized boy and gave him poker for gun. "Now," said Drummond, 'I'm a pheas- ant Shoot me" The boy did so, and Drummond fell to keep up the illusion, whereupon the boy, seeing the bird move, was about to hit 1t over the head with the poker. The hypnotizer had just time to stop the magnetized sports man.-Pearson's Weekly.

Why the Judas Paid.

A physician. says a medical Journsa that vouches for the truth of the story, was once summoned in haste to attend the child of family that lived in two rooms in the heart of a large American city-not New York The child had been seized suddenly and seriously and just at election time. The mother was in despair. and when the doubt full prognosis was given she broke into wailing and violent self condem- nation for some horrible sin of the family to which she said the child's Illness was due-a direct punishment for their crime. She would go ana curse the magistrate for 1t all, her husband should resign from the force," and such evil ways should be renounced forever.
 Curious to know how the magistrate could be held responsible for the chlld's illness, the doctor finally se- cured the confession that the crime Of the poor, conscience stricken woman consisted in allowing the names of many fraudulent voters to be regis tered as residing in her house. in swearing to the lie. etc. The magis- trate also had demanded this of all the nefghbors in return for indescrib- able political favors.

BEATTY MUST
SERVE 8 YEARS
SELF-CONFESSED BANK ROB-
Der SENT TO FOLSOM
PLEA FOR PROBATION DENIED BY
JUDGE FRANK WILLIS
Ernest w. Sundin viii Hear His Pun
ishment Wednesday and Charles
S. Martin Will Appear for
Same Purpose Today

Hopes of George Allan Beatty, the
Monrovia bank robber. that the bene-
fits of the probation law would be ex-
tended to him because of his confession
and the fact that he gave the authorl-
ties the names of other men implicated
in the theft, were destroyed yesterday,
even the intercession of the district
attorneys office not proving sufficient
to prevail upon Judge Willis of the
criminal court to show extreme len
iency in Beatty's behalf.
Beatty was sentenced to eight years
in Folsom penitentiary, the court stat
ing that, while the prisoners confess
sion was taken into consideration in
passing sentence, the fact remained
that he did not repent until 1t became
necessary to do so in order to aid his
own interests.
When Ernest W. Sundin, an accom-
plice in the bank robbery, appeared for
sentence, his attorney, George P.
Adams, made a strong plea for proba-
ton, pointing out cases where men
guilty of worse offenses had been re-
leased on their promises of good be-
havior. After hearing the testimony
of a number of witnesses in Sundin' 4
favor Judge Willis continued the mat
ter until 1870 O'Clock Wednesday.
Charles S. Martin, who, according to
Beatty and Sundin, instigated the rob-
berry and who was convicted by a jury
last week, will be sentenced today by
Judge Davis.
The First National bank of Monrovia
was robbed in December, S27,5OO being
secured by the robbers.

FIRST COURT ROUND
FRED A. CORNELL SENT BACK
TO CITY JAIL
Bail Is Reduced to $4,000, but Hearing
on Death of Mrs. Teller Is
Postponed Until To.
morrow

Partial success and a measure of de-
feat were met by Fred A. Cornell, au-
tomobile dealer, in Justice Summer
fields court yesterday, when he APP
peared on a charge of being an Access
sorry after the fact in connection with
the killing of Mrs. Dora Teller S41
San Pedro street, who was ground to
death under the wheels of Cornelrs au-
tomoblle July 10.
Cornelps attorneys, j. w. Carrigan
and l. w. Bull, succeeded in having his
bail reduced from $4,000 to $4,000. after
asking for a reduction to $1,000. This
occurred in the forenoon. When court
opened for the afternoon session Cor
nell appeared a second time, and,
through his attorneys, demanded an
immediate preliminary examination.
This man is a business man, who is
deprived of his liberty on charge that
can never stand" said Mr.. Bull.
The court will decide that when the
matter comes regularly before it, re-
torted Senator Mccartney of the dis
triCt attorneys office.
Mr.. Bull insisted that the complaint
was defective, and Justice Summerheld,
in response to this assertion, declared
if this was a fact many persons are
now serving terms in the penitentiary
after being arrested on just such COM
plants as had been sworn to in the
Cornell case.
The justice refused to take the mat
ter up at once and postponed the eX-
animation until Wednesday morning.
Cornell was then remanded to the city
jail.
At 1870 o'clock last night Cornell
was released on bonds of $4,000. to
which figure the original $4,000 bail
was reduced.

WOMAN AUTHOR AND
POET CANNOT AGREE
WIFE ALLEGES HUSBAND WAS
CRUEL TO HER
In Suit for Divorce Mrs. Florence
Wenderoth Saunders Testifies
She Was Allowed Fifty
five Cents a Day

That two persons whose aspirations
are similar cannot live happily in each
others company was exemplified in
the divorce court yesterday in the di-
vorce suit of Florence Wenderoth
Saunders against her husband. Frank
lin Saunders, both of Long Beach. Mrs.
Saunders claims some distinction as
an author, while her husband writes
poems If the testimony went for any
thing, it would indicate verse writing
is not to any great extent remuner-
ative, for Mrs. Saunders said she was
limited to fiftyfive cents day for
household expenses. Besides this, she
told the court Saunders treated her
with extreme cruelty while she was
lying i'll in bed, the cruelty consisting
of pounding on the ceiling with a
broom stick and using loud and bois-
ferrous language.
In December, last year. when she
was in the county hospital Saunders.
according to his wife, threw a book
at her, accompanying the missile with
the insinuating remark, How do |
know what you are here for? l sup
pose you are kissing all the internes in
the hospital. If you ever leave me l
will know it is for another man and
I'll kill you both if 1 have to follow
you to the ends of the EARTH
Saunders, who is contrasting the suit,
made a general denial of all the accu-
sations of his wife. The hearing still
is in progress.
Two DEGREES of divorce were granted,
Grace ThelkeId from Thomas L. Thel-
keld and Maude A. Spear from Walter
NJ. Spear.
The following suits were filed: Eliza
beth Wilkes against Thomas Wilkes,
Lucinda Eilenstein against julius Eli
