ANOTHER COMPLAINT
THREATENS CARLSON
WITNESS GIVES TESTIMONY OF
STARTLING NATURE
Several Checks Are introduced il
Evidence, and One for $500
Is lnsinuated to be
Forgery

Unexpected and startling testimony
which, according to Deputy District Al
torney Frank Blair, may result in the
fling of another criminal complaint
against W. H. Carlson, was given py
George H. Peck, real estate broker IN
the Carlson embezzlement trlal IN
Judge Crows court yesterday.
Continuing his work of attempting TO
prove to the jury that Carlson sys-
tematically used the funds of the banK
to further his personal interests ana
those of his companies-the Carlson IN
vestment company and the Los AnSe-
les Securities company-Mr. Blair had
Mr.. Peck identify a large number OIL
checks given him by Carlson in pay
ment for tracts of land at Redondo'
Among the checks was one for $5OO'
dated February %, 1908, and made pay
able to Peck.
Il never saw that check before" said
the witness.
did you get the money for it?" he
was asked.
II did not" replied Peck.
Check Indorsed by Carlson
The check is signed by the Los Ange-
les Securities company, by Carlson as
manager, but instead of Pecks name
appearing on the back of the paper, Is
indorsed with the name of Carlson.
C. w. Morton, manager of an auto
mobile livery, testified that he received
a check for $50 signed by the Los An
geles Securities company in payment
for automobile hire when one of his
machines was used to carry prospective
purchasers from the Redondo railway
station to Carlsons tract, March 20,
1908. and Carl F. Guthridge, treasurer
of the Redondo Telephone company,
identified several of Carlsons checks
received in payment for telephone SER
vice.
At the time these checks were issued
the Securities company, according to
the testimony of Miss Ida McKittrick,
cashier of the Consolidated bank, was
greatly overdrawn and the checks were
paid with the funds of the bank.
The trial was continued until 10
o'clock today, but owing to the illness
of a member of one of the Jurors fam
lily, a further postponement until Mon
day is probable.

ATONES FOR WRONGS
AGAINST TWO WOMEN
ARCHITECT C0NFESSES To-
DISGUSTING CRIME
Man so Years Old Admits He Ruined
Little Girl and Deceived Sup
posed Wfe-GiVen Long
Sentence

A revolving story of two and half
years of bestiality, with the victim OF
his brutal desires a girl of tender
years who had been intrusted into ms
keeping after her mothers death, and
how he had deluded a woman into the
belief she was his wife by reason OF a
contract marriage, was told by Milton
A. Hyatt, 1102 Edgeware road, archl-
tect and civil engineer, in confess
sion to Paul ]. Mccormick, deputy
district attorney, yesterday.
Two hours later, after the briefeSt
preliminary examination in police
court Hyatt was hurried to the crlmt-
nal department of the superior court,
where he entered a plea of guilty and
was sentenced to thirty years in San
Quentine penitentiary by Judge Willis.
Hyatt is so years old. He is well
known in Los Angeles business cir
cles, and is said to be worth $4,000 to
$12 900. After making his confession
he arranged to dispose of his property
for the benefit of the two persons he
has Wronged.
Child Adopted
One of these persons is Edith Wilde,
whose mother died three years ago.
The girl was then 13 years old, and
six months later, on consent of her
father, who returned to his old home
in the east, she was adopted by Hyatt
and the woman living with him in the
belief that she was his wife. Since
shortly after the child entered Hyatt S
home she has. according to his confess
sion, been the victim of his abuse.
Louise Huffman is Hyatt's other vic
tim Nine years ago, he said, he de-
luded this woman by entering into a
contract marriage with her, which she
has since believed to be as valid as if
the ceremony were performed by a
minister or justice.
In addition to signing his confession
yesterday, Hyatt drew up another pa
per, in which he seeks to make resti-
tuition for his offenses. He gives the
income from a fiat building to his girl
victim during her lifetime and the bal
ance of his property to the woman
who for almost a decade believed she
was his wife.
Hyatt will remain in the county Jail
ten days to clear up his business af-
fairs and will then be taken to the
penitentiary

Praises Schools

"I congratulate you on the institu-
tions of learning that you have.
congratulate you on every evidence
that you are a community of law, abid-
ing by the laws of your country, and
determined that every community of

II cannot speak too emphatically on
this subject, because at times there is
a disposition to trample down law with
the theory that we reach some greater
object; but on the whole it will be
found that the best way to do if the
laws are not right is to obey them and
repeal them, but all the time holding
the law up as something to be re-
spected until by the popular voice you
shall change it; because if you de-
stroy the effect of the law then you
might as well give up government, and
if we are not to have a government
and are to have anarchy and socialism
to be governed by a committee that
is going to apportion what belongs to
each man and not allow the ordinary
