ACCUSED OF PASSING
CHECK; IS DISMISSED
ATTORNEY WHO GAVE POST
DATED PAPER RELEASED
Court Holds Instrument Written in
Advance of Day 1t Is rendered
Does Not Come Under
Statute

A. D. Warner, attorney, charged
with passing fictitious check, was re-
leased from custody by Judge Monroe
yesterday on writ of habeas corpus.
Warner, a few months ago, gave his
clerk, Dudley w. Robinson, check
for $25. dated two days in advance of
the day it was rendered. There were
no funds in the bank to Warmers
credit when the check was presented
for payment, and Robinson, after max
ing fruitless efforts to bring about a
settlement of his claim against the at
torney, placed the matter in the hands
of the district attorney. Warner was
held to answer to the superior court
two weeks ago Hy Justice Summer
field.
In ordering Warmers discharge,
Judge Monroe said: "I have decided
that a post-dated check does not come
within the statute and is not check
as contemplated by the section which
the defendant is charged with violau-
ing"

CHARGES HER HUSBAND WITH
CRUELTY
"LiVed Sixteen Years Without Kind

Il have lived sixteen years without a
kind word from my husband was the
statement made by Mrs. Alice M. In
gersOll in the superior court yesterday
while testifying in her divorce suit
against her husband, Jonathan Inger-
soil, advertising agent for the Southern
Pacific. When Mrs. IngerSoll conclu6-

was granted a decree of divorce, and
Ingersoll was ordered to pay $25 a
month during the minority of their only
child, a youth of 16 years.
Mrs. Ingersoll said her husband had
given her no support during their mar
ried life, but that she was frequently
called upon to aid him financially. His
Indifference regarding her comfort or
welfare, his cruelty and finally his as
Sociation with other women, she said,
led to their separation eighteen months
ago while they were living at the Hotel
Watson:
Mrs. IngersolI said her husband not
only would refuse to give her money,
but objected when she spent her own
funds. She told of one occasion when
he refused to assist her when she was
i'll, and said she was compelled to go
to druggist herself for medicine.

said Mrs. Ingerson "my husband would
refuse to say anything to them, but sat
with newspaper before his face. He
treated me with the utmost indiffer-
other women"
The last Christmas they spent togeth-
er Mrs. IngersolI gave her husband
several neckties. ''They were pretty
things" she said, "but he threw them

AQUEDUCT GAINS IN
RACE AGAINST TIME
MAPS COMPLETED DAY BE-
FORE EXPECTED
Special Messenger Will File Them at
independence Today, to Take Ad-
vantage of Special Fed
eraI Law

The aqueduct department has gained
one day in it's race against time, and
yesterday the council approved the
maps showing changes to be made in
the course of the Owens river conduit.
A law passed by the federal govern
ment two years ago especially for Los
Angeles gave the city rights of way
over government land. In order to
make these rights effective it was StlE-
ulated in the bill that preliminary maps
must be filed within one year of the
time the bill passed. These maps were
filed. 1t was further stipulated that in
case any changes were made from the
original plans it would be necessary to
file maps and specifications showing
the proposed amendments, within two
years.
Several changes have been found
necessary in the line of the aqueduct
but these have not been definitely de-
cided upon until recently. To comply
with the two years clause in the bill
the aqueduct department was forced
to draw maps hurriedly, and the time
for filing these maps expires at noon
Tuesday.
A special representative of the aque-
duct department left last night with
the approved maps to file at Indepen-
oence. He will be able to place them
on file before the land Office closes to-
night, and thus come within a few
hours Of the expiration Of the time.
There are ten maps included in the
bunch to be flied. Several of them are
for changes in the conduit, others for
changes in power transmission lines
and still others for bitches, tunnel and
power station sites.

CRIMINAL THROUGH
ACCIDENT IS GIVEN
THIRD OPPORTUNITY
John c. Quentin, Whose Mental Bal
ance Is Restored by Removing
Bone from Brain, Put
on Parole

John Clarence Quentin, whose GRIM
inal acts were attributed to the effects
of an injury received several years ago
when he was struck on the head, was
discharged by the lunacy commission
yesterday, but will remain at the coun-
ty hospital for six months, acting as a
nurse and at the same time being un-
DER the observation of the physicians.
Quentin was operated on by DR.. D.
G. Barber and DR.. w. E. Carter last
week, and a small splinter of bone
which was found to be pressing on his
brain was removed. Before the acci-
dent to Quentin's skull he exhibited
none of the criminal tendencies so no.
ticeable later, and since the operation
was performed he claims to have no
clear memory of occurrences during the
period of several years following the
injury.
After Quentin's discharge by the lun-
acy commission yesterday Judge Will
bur for the third time placed the young
man on probation. He will be en-
rloyed at the county hospital for six
months, during which time he will be
closely observed, and if his improve
ment is pronounced he will be released.
Quentin was first arrested upon a
charge of forgery. Placed on proba-
ton, he violated his agreement with
the court by drinking. When given an
ether chance he again passed a worth

RING MAY PROVE
COUPLE MARRIED
WOMAN ASSERTS SHE is WIFE,
MAN DENIES
Inscription Engraved on Jewel Offered
as Evidence That Helen
BeecEer Was Welded
to Dentist

A gold ring, with the inscription.
"August g. 1900, to my wife-George," !"
cut on the inner surface, was the
only evidence, except her own uncor-
roborated statements, on which Mrs.
Helen L. Beecher depended to prove
her marriage to George B. Beecher, d
dentist, to the satisfaction of Judge
James of the superior court yesterday.
Mrs. Beecher, through her attorney,
Milton E. Young, brought suit against
her husband Thursday for separate
maintenance, and an order was issued
calling on Beecher to appear and show
cause why he should not pay his wife
an allowance pending the hearing of
the action. Beecher was in court yes
terday in response to this order, and
his attorneys, Sturges & Fleming, at
the same time filed an answer to Mrs.
Beecher's suit, denying that he had
ever married the woman.
1--WE were married August s, 1900, by
the Rev. DR.. Fulton of the North
minister Presbyterian church, Philadel-
phia,' said Mrs. Beecher. Il left my
husband the following December, be-
cause he struck me. He followed me
to California and we have lived to-
gether until June, 1907, when left him.
I am his wife, and he knows it..
Beecher stoutly denied any knoWl-
edge of the marriage ceremony. He
did not know the minister named in
Mrs. Beecher's testimony, he said, and
further declared he did not become ac-
quainted with the woman until about
five years ago. He acknowledged hav-
ing lived with her, however.
Judge James set the trial of the case
for March 10, no order for alimony i'll
the meantime being made.

GOES NORTH TO AID
NEW JUVENILE BILL
JUDGE WILBUR FAV0RS PRO
BATIONARY SYSTEM
Jurist Will Endeavor to Impress Im-
portance of Measure on Minds of
Lawmakers, to Secure Its
Passage

Judge Curtis D. Wilbur of the su-
perior court left for Sacramento last
night and will appear before the COM
mittees of the legislature to speak in
favor of the passage of the new Juve-
nile court bill, prepared several weeks
ago by him at the instance of a large
number of persons interested in juve-
nile and probationary work.
The cost of maintaining a boy or girl
at Whittier or Preston is about $50 a
month, Judge Wilbur will explain to
the legislature, and it is said if all the
children now on probation were sent tC
Whittier from Los Angeles county the
cost would be $22,080 a month, or more
than a quarter of a million dollars g
year.
'The probation plan is a practical
solution of the problem" said Judge
Wilbur. For instance, homes have
been found by our probation officers In
the last two years for 147 children
saving $4310 month. Where it is pos
sible for a boy or girl to be reformed
in his or her own environment the
problem really is solved.
"Only the all-seeing eye can deter
mine the saving in money to the state
because we are heading off the future
state prisons-and / hope to see ths
day when, with ten times the popula.
ton we now have, we will have only
half the number of convicts and insane
persons"
Judge Wilbur takes with him sta
tistics showing the work done by ths
juvenile court in Los Angeles county
and these will be used to convince the
legislators that the passage of the pro
posed law is of the utmost Importance
Judge Wilbur will return to Los An
eeleS Wednesday,

HOLDS COURT AT BED
OF ASSAULT VICTIM
Justice Austin Goes to County Hospi-
tai, Where He Takes Testimony
and Holds Assailant to
Answer

William Glover, charged with having
shot Charles Thomas in the neck, was
held yesterday to answer to the SUI
perior court by Justice Austin, who
went out to the county hospital yes
terday morning to hold court in the
case.
Glover and Thomas are negroes. They
had quarrel some months ago and
Glover was put in Jail. He claimed
that Thomas stabbed him in the side
and that he fired the shot into his as
sailant's neck in self defense.
With that the case was dropped. For
nearly three months Glover has re-
mained in the Jail without trial.
Thomas has been dying at the county
hospital from the wound in his neck.
By chance Deputy District Attorney
Paul Mccormick interviewed Thomas
while he was visiting the hospital on
other business and found out the true
status of the case. He then issued a
complaint against Glover, charging
him with assault with deadly weapon.
Justice Austin went to the bedside of
the dying man to hold court

PARENTS FIGHT FOR
CUSTODY OF CHILD:

Little Grace Forncrook Declared De-

tee Will Choose Her
Guardian

Grace Forncrook, the 11-year-old
child for whose possession father and
mother have been contesting several
weeks, was declared a dependent by
Judge Wilbur of the juvenile court yes
terday and placed temporarily in charge
of woman chosen by the juvenile
committee. F: w. Forncrook and his
wife, Catherine Forncrook, will be al
lowed to visit the child as often as they
see fit.
According to Mrs. Forncrook, her
husband stole the child two years after
he had deserted his Michigan home.
and brought her to California. She
learned of his whereabouts two months
ago and came to Los Angeles, hoping to
compel Forncrook to return her daugh-
ter through court proceedings. Charges
OF cruelty and counter-charges of in
sanity were made in the case, which
has been under consideration several
weeks.
One divorce suit was filed, Lizzie
Grunz against Martin Grunz.

MAY GET SCALE PERMIT
IN SPITE OF TWO DENIAL S
Board of Public Works May Be Forced
to Grant Application to Pre-.
vent Hole in Also
Street

In spite of the fact that the board
of public works has twice denied him
a permit for scales in the street. Frank
Giambastiani, head of the fuel firm at
428 Also street which bears his name,
will probably get the permit after all.
The board may be forced to grant it
in self defense.
Giambiastini applied for a permit to
the board of public works several
months ago, but because there is a
street car track in the street where
he wishes to place his scales it was de-
MED. He then applied to the council
for the permit. The council referred
the application to the board of public
works, and the board sent it back with
a recommendation that it be not grant
ed. For the second time the permit
was denied.
Also street is to be paved, and be-
cause a plat in the office of the city en-
gineer shows a place for the scales,
plans for the pavement were drawn to
allow for a hole in the asphalt where
the scales would be. The contract for
the work was awarded with this hole
in the street, and rather than have a
bare spot, the permit for the scales will
probably be issued.

COUNCIL BY RESOLUTION
IND0RSES LIQUOR LAW
Asks Legislature to Pass Bill Prohib-
iting Saloons Within Four Miles
of Aqueduct or Other
Public Works

BY a strong resolution the council
yesterday unanimously indorsed the
bill pending before the state legislature
prohibiting the sale of intoxicating
liquors or the establishment of a sa-
loon within four miles of any public or
quasi-public works. This bill is in
tended for the benefit of the aqueduct.
The bill provides that saloons within
incorporated towns or those established
six months before the passage of the
bill are not affected.
This bill will affect Mojave. Mojave
is not an incorporated city, and it is
full of saloons. The number of saloons
has greatly increased since the work
began on the aqueduct, and many 9TH
ers are threatened. Saloons have sprung
pu all along the line of the big ditch.
and the aqueduct bureau has found
them to be a great detriment to the SER
vice.
This bill is similar to a federal law
affecting government work.

YOUTHS ACTION RESULT
OF READING CHEAP NOVELS
Young Man Who Attempted to Snug.
gle Revolver into County Jail
Held to Court in $4,000
Bonds

r. E. Watson, the young man who
attempted to Smuggle a revolver to
j. H. Humley, an inmate of the county
Jail, a week ago, was held to answer to
the superior court by Justice Summer
field yesterday and is in the county jail
in default of $4,000 bonds
That Watson's act was committed in
effort to emulate the example of one of
Diamond Dicks heroes, was the
statement of Sheriff w. A. Hammel,
the only witness to testify. The sher-
iff said Watson made conflicting state
ments after his arrest, but the idea of
carrying the weapon into the prison
was first suggested to him by the thrill
ling tale in a nickel novel. The cake in
which the revolver and cartridges were
concealed was an exhibit in the case.
Henry o. Melveney, Watson's attorney,
offered no defense.
