News OF the Courts
JURY FINDS FRANK
BELL NOT GUILTY
VERDICT RETURNED AFTER
TEN-MINUTE SESSION
Story That Harks Back to Threats
Alleged to Have Been Made
Against o. P. Vida
man

The trial of Frank NJ. Bell, charged
by o. p. Widaman with carrying con-
cealed weapon with intent to commit
assault, was held in Justice Ling $
court yesterday, and the case was given
to the jury at 9:O3 o'clock last night.
After being out ten minutes the jury
returned a verdict of not guilty.
S. L. Browne, head of the detective
force of the district attorneys office,
arrested Bell near Widaman's house at
Artesia September q, and a complaint
was sworn to by Widaman on account
OF threats alleged to have been made
against his life by Bell. Browne was
the first witness yesterday, testifying
as to the arrest and that he found
revolver thrown by Bell into the bushes
when he was told to give himself up.
Some delay was experienced owing
to the failure of Dr. George w. Camp
bell to respond to a subpoena to attend
as a witness. DR.. Campbell appeared
at the night session, and after giving
his testimony was ordered to return at
10 o'clock today and show cause why
he should not be punished for contempt.
In his testimony he said Bell while
confined in the county Jail several
weeks ago told him he would get Wild
aman if he had to wait a thousand
years."
Los Angeles herald., 1909-10-21
GIVEN DIVORCE FROM MAN
WHO HAD TWO AFFINITIES
Woman Granted Decree from Grocer's
Solicitor with Amorous
IncIinations

The present week should be known
as affinity week. in the divorce court,
three legal separations being granted
Monday on account of the disrupting
influence of affinities, while two de-
crees were ordered yesterday for a like
cause.
According to the testimony of Dora
Bell Seymour, her husband, Oscar w.
Seymour, was burdened with two af-
finities, accumulated while making
house to house calls as a grocer's So
licitor. His oscillations were abrupt
ly checked when his wife made an in
vestigation into his frequent absences
from home. Then, she said, he de-
serted her. A decree was granted.
John H. Williams was granted a di-
vorce from his wife, Ella Williams,
also on the ground of desertion, which,
he said, an affinity in the person of
Martin D. Dougherty, a st. Louis po-
liceman, was instrumental in bringing
about. While living in st. Louis two
years ago Williams said he COM
planned to the police commission con-
cerning Dougherty's attentions to his
wife and secured his dismissal from
the force. Dougherty, he continued,
followed him to Los Angeles a few
months later and a short time after
ward his wife disappeared. He found
her in Dougherty's company, he said,
when he visited st. Louis in February.
1908.
Other DEGREES granted were as fol-
lows: Alice Waddell from Andrew ].
Waddell c. F. Raymond from Isabel
Raymond and Samuel j. Heindel from
Susan D. Heindel.

Managers of Local Hospital Say That
"Professor Napoleon" Will Open
Eyes of Play-LoVing
Public

The board of managers of the chill
dren's hospital will produce at the
Temple auditorium November 10, II,
12 and 13 an entertainment with fOO
persons on the stage, of whom nun
dred more than this number are IN
actual rehearsal at the Friday Morn
ing club on Figueroa street. Arrange
ments have just been made within the
past few days for the transfer or
"Professor Napoleon" from the Mason
opera house to the Temple auditorium.
Manager Wyatt of the Mason allowed
the committee of the Children's hos
pital to cancel the dates held, although
this changing of dates will mean con-
siderable loss to him.
For the first time in the history of
Los Angeles, a gigantic musical pro-
duction will be produced Interest IN
the affair is apparent throughout the
city. A week ago the committee
thought it would be impossible to Sc
cure such an army of people, though
at that time the 600 mark had been
reached. At present there have already
been enrolled over 100 more people
than there are parts, and applications
for admittance continue to be re-
ceived.
How are you going to get 720 people
on the Auditorium stage?' was asked
of Mrs. Albert Crutcher, the president
of the hospital board.
"Oh, they do not appear on the stage
at the same time" she answered. Each
group and dance is just taken on the
stage in time for their proper scene
and after their part is over they will
be escorted to their waiting rooms,
which will be secured in the vicinity
of the Auditorium. The rehearsals
show great improvement as they pro-
gress from day to day. Those who
witnessed a rehearsal a week ago
would be astonished were they to see
the same groups rehearse now. All the
different characters usually in evil
dence around a college are being re-
hearsed each day. The timid freshies,
important sophs, kindly juniors and
dignified seniors, the rough-and-tum-
BILE football boys and athletic basket
ball girls, golf girls and tennis girls
have already been we'll coached in their
parts. The elaborate SCENERY used
will be entirely new and the electric
effects will be of a kind to make a
professional stage manager envious.
Harry Girard will take the title role
of Professor Napoleon, and he will be
surrounded by the very best talent OBJ
tainable in the city for the other prtn-
cipal parts, and Los Angeles boasts of
some wonders in this line.
