After a search of two weeks for his

that she would take good care of the

yesterday and booked at the central
police station on charge of disturbing
| the peace.
According to the woman's story to
the police, she went to the home of Hall
| and was employed by the latter as a
housekeeper.
When seen at the city Jail yesterday
Sutton told q different story, and de-
clared the woman had deserted him,
taking with her the baby and much of
his personal belongings, including his
trunk.
'It was two weeks ago when l came
home and found my wife was gone, "
said Sutton.

st began to search for her, and last
Sunday learned from a friend that my
wife was in Los Angeles, and was ad-
vised to consult private detective who
could find her. / engaged man and
paid him for his services, and later was
shown the place where my wife was
supposed to be. At that time 1 had no
idea of the identity of the man with
whom she was living, and finally
learned his name by sending in boy,
who inquired if certain person lived
there.
After I found out the name of the
man 1 paid a messenger to deliver a
note to Hail. to the effect that he was
wanted at a nearby telephone to an"
swer a long distance call at Redondo.
when Hall emerged from the house
I accosted him and asked him If his
name was Hall. He said that was his
name and asked him about my wife.
Just as soon as I mentioned her name
he made a motion as If to draw re-
volver. I then sprang forward and
pinned his arms to his sides and threw
him to the pavement. When looked
at his right hand l saw he was holding
an open knife.
Aqree on Court Settlement
"I. then made sure that he was not
armed with a revolver, and grabbed
him by the arm and marched him back
to the house. After entering the room
in which were my wife and baby told
them 1 was going to tie the two to-
gether and leave them oyer night, while
I took away the baby. Later I changed
my mind, and Hall and my wife agreed
to meet me this morning and to go to
court and have the matter settled"

serted Him Five Times-Four

Indictment charging blackmail, ana
that he is now living in northern Cal-
ifornia under an assumed name, was
the testimony of Mrs. Irene Duncan III

can was granted a decree on the GROUND

The couple were married in 1901, and
for several months lived on the duncan

where Duncan was manager of the
United Fruit company's interests.
HE treated me with the greatest un-
kindness in Jamaica, and finally sent
me back to the United States, saying
he would support me no longer, SAID
Mrs. Duncan. "a year later he joined
me on the plantation, sold the place
and sent me to New York, where
lived with relatives until came to
Los Angeles three years ago."
Duncan she said, was indicted by a
Virginia grand jury in the summer OF
1904, charged with matchmaking Rob-
ert D. Valentine, a wealthy resident OF
Charlotte. and obtaining $4,000. Before
he could be arrested, said Mrs. Duncan,
he fed from the state and is now at

THIEF
OF POSTOFF!CE
FEDERAL OFFICERS PREPARE
TO MAKE ARREST
HOME OF SUSPECTED CLERK is
UNDER SURVEILLANCE
Secret Service Men Take Extra Pre-
cautions to Prevent Disclosure of
Name of Person Believed
to Be Guilty

Slowly, but surely, the meshes of the
law are winding about the person who
is alleged to have stolen $4,000 from the
registry division of the Los Angeles
postoffice, and although no arrest was
made last night the home of the sus-
pected person was under police surveil-
lance.
This action was taken as the result
of the secret indictment which was re-
turned yesterday morning by the fed
eral court, but acting under instruc-
tions from the Washington postal
authorities an immediate arrest was
not made. In the meantime no chances
are taken, and that the guilty person
will be arrested today was the an
nouncement from the United States
marshaPs office.
The only reason for Withholding from
making the arrest is that the evidence
is entirely circumstantial, and it is
thought that the culprit will fall into
the meshes laid by the investigators,
and thus save the exepense Of a long
trial.
Clerk Under Suspicion
The person who is under suspicion
and whose home was under police guard
last night is clerk in the postoffice
and has been under suspicion ever since
the robbery. The name of the clerk is
well known to many outside the post
office officials, but at the request of
the secret service men who have been
investigating the case it has been kept
secret.
The records at the postoffice show
that this clerk was on duty the night
of the robbery and that 427 registered
oIra 1.anaixrod hI1f dOE
were accounted for. That the two
packages unaccounted for contained the
missing money is the opinion of the
police and that the clerk who was in
charge of the registry department is
the supposed guilty person is evidenced
by the fact that his house was under
police surveillance last night.
Postoffice Inspectors Knox and Will
son refuse to discuss the case, as does
every official Of the postoffice, but that
the person named in the indictment re-
turned by the federal grand jury is the
same person that has been under sus-
picion was admitted.
Half of Thirty Thousand
The missing money is one-half of a
100000 consignment sent from the First
National bank of Los Angeles to Bis
bee, Ariz. The money never arrived at
its destination, and it is said that upon
the first investigation the clerk now
under suspicion, and for whom the in
dictment has been prepared, found $15,-
900 of the money behind safe in the
Los Angeles postoffice.
No arrest was made last night, as the
inspectors decided to gain more evil
dence, but that the guilty person Is
trapped and cannot escape punishment
was the assertion of the United States
marshal, who has charge of the case.
Persons aware that an arrest might
occur gathered about the suspects
home last night, but nothing developed,
as the postoffice officials are bound 70
secrecy, and when the arrest is made it
will be only after securing positive EVIL
dence. In the meantime the alleged
guilty clerk continues his duties at the
postoffice.

HEAD OF
EDISON WORKS DIES
A. L. SELIG Is VICTIM OF
HEART DISEASE
Right Hand Man to President of Big

vance
WI ITH the assurance of an advance,

HT ITH the assurance of an advance,
wv which his business career in Los
" Angeles had warranted, but
few days ahead, A. L. Selig, assistant
to the president of the Edison Electric
company. died unexpectedly of heart
disease at his home, 935 South Flower
street, early yesterday morning.
Mr.. Selig had sent his resignation to
the Edison company, and Saturday m
tended to leave for San Francesca 70
accept the position as assistant TO II.
III. Sinclair, vice president Of the Great
Western Power company, an incorpor-
alton. with resources estimated at $25,-
900, 000
With such a position in view Mr. Selig
would have become commanding ng-
ure in the power interests of the United
States.
Mr.. Selig was a self-made man and
his rapid rise in the industrial circles
of Los Angeles was source OF COM
ment in the business district.
Promoted Rapidly
Beginning work twelve years ago
with the Edison company at salary OF
a few dollars a week, Mr.. Selig, by ms
integrity and business ability, rapidly
mounted the ladder of industry ana
within ten years his efforts were re-
ager of the Edison concern.
From this position he gradually arose
until he occupied the next highest posi-
ton in the company, that of assistant
to the president. His rapid rise at
tracted the business men of various
parts of the United States, and several
months ago H. H. Sinclair, vice presi-
dent and general manager Of the Edi-
son company, accepted position as
vice president and general manager Of
the Great Western Power company, and
Mr.. Selig was offered and accepted the
position as assistant.
Mr.. Selig was popular in Los Angeles
and 1t was not until two months ago
that his numerous friends learned that
he was suffering from heart disease.
Prepares to Go North
He soon recovered, and was able to
be about his duties. A few days ago
he packed his trunk and bought tick
cts, preparatory to his removal to San
Francisco. Tuesday night he gave a
sort of farewell party to number Of
his friends, but shortly after their de-
parture he suffered another heart at
tack and died before medical aid could
be summoned.
He leaves wife and two children,
Gail, aged II, and Helen, aged Z.
The body was taken to Bresee Bros
morgue, and Friday afternoon business
associates and friends may view the
body from 2 until o'clock.
The funeral will be Saturday after
noon at 1:30 o'clock. Rev. Robert Bur-
dette, pastor of Temple Baptist church,
will officiate. Burial will be in IngleA
