AGED WOMAN Is OWN BEST
WITNESS IN DAMAGE SUIT
Wants $4,000 from Gas Company Be-
cause Accident Spoiled Earn
ing Power, She Claims

An interesting suit for damages for
personal injury is being tried before
Judge Hervey of the superior court in
the case of Mrs. Euretta Reynolds,
who is suing the Los Angeles Gas and
Electric company for $4,000 for in
juries she alleges she sustained by
falling into a ditch dug by the COM
pany in front of her house.
The plaintiff is rs years old and still
active, in spite of the necessity for the
use of a crutch since she was injured.
She declared on the stand yesterday
that she had not had a days illness in
the past five years, and in fact had
never been really i'll in her life.
She alleges that the gas company
dug a ditch in front of her home and
failed to provide any guard or warning
of any kind, so that one night about 8
o'clock she fell into the ditch in the
darkness and was disabled so that she
could not earn her living.
The testimony was interesting, in
view of the fast that the aged woman
was endeaVoring to establish the fact
that her earning capacity in spite of
her age. is $4,000. She said she kept
sixty chickens and cow, and by the
sale of eggs and milk managed to sup
port herself with ordinary comfort
While she acknowledged that she had
several grown children, she declared
they did not live at home and she had
supported herself for years
The case was continued until today
for argument.

FEEBLE-MINDED GIRL IS
IN RAGS, DESPITE WEALTH
AIIeeed Heiress to $4,000 Appears for
Examination in Court Room IN
PitiabIe Condition

Although she has an inheritance OF
SIS 900, according to her father, the
clothing of Helen Berges, examined py
the insanity commission in Judge VIII
bur's court yesterday, was in such
dilapidated condition that the matron
of the county Jail had to secure
pair of stockings and shoes for the de-
fendant, which were put on her in the
Judges chamber before her examina-
ton by the commission.
Under questioning, the father Of the
feeble-minded girl claimed he was ad-
mfnistrator of the estate, and judging
from the girls poverty stricken condi-
ton and considering her reputed
wealth, Judge Wilbur appointed an at
torney to investigate the condition OF
her estate, in spite of strenuous OBJ
jections by the parent.
The girl herself declared she want
ed to go to the county institution as
she preferred it to her home. Judge
Wilbur requested the father to write
and find out if there was room for
her in the home for the feeble-minded
at Sonoma. The father declared he
did not care where they sent her, as
long as she was sent somewhere.

NEGRO DENIED DAMAGES
FROM RAILWAY COMPANY
Judge Renders Opinion That Attempt
to Get on Moving Car Not
Permissible by Law

William z. Easton, a negro who
claimed $4,000 damages from the Los
Angeles railway for inquiries he al
leges he sustained which prevented
him from following his profession as a
"dramatist." had judgment rendered
against him by Judge Monroe yester-
day at the conclusion Of the trial in
the superior court.
Faston in his complaint charged the
company with criminal negligence IN
falling to have it's employees stop car
which he was endeavoring to eaten at
Eighth and San Pedro streets on De
cember ., 1903. He alleged that the
motorman saw his signal to stop and
slowed up for him to get on and ther
| started before he had secured hrn
hold. with the result that he was

He declared he was the author OF

being shown in different parts of the
country. and the accident had inter

color.
In rendering his decision Judge Mon

evidence to show that the motorman
either saw his motion to stop or even
slowed up for him, and if he had been

SUES FOR DAMAGES AS
RESULT OF HORSE TRADE
Man Arrested by Purchaser of Animals
Seeks Balm for Alleged Inc
Jury to Reputation

The aftermath of a horse trade
which figured in the courts over a
year ago was the commencement of
the trial yesterday in Judge James
court of an action for $4,000 damages
by A. e. O'Banion against j. G. Buck
ingham for false arrest and persecu-
tion,
over a year ago Buckingham en-
deavored to collect the cost of two
horses sold to him by O'Banion and
others on the ground that the animals
were not what they had been repre-
sented to be. The sale took place in
Long Beach, and Buckingham filed
suit against O'Banion on the ground of
receiving money under false pretenses.
After the case was thoroughly
thrashed out in the superior courts a
verdict was rendered in favor of
O'Banion, completely generating him.
Now OBanion has turned around
and commenced a $4,000 damage suit
against Buckingham for false impris-
onment and alleged mishandling of his
good name. The case is expected to
last for several days.

FOSTER PARENTS
AWARDED CHILD
ROGERS ALLOWED TO RETAIN
MURPHY BABY
Judge Moss Decides Father ant
Mother of Baby Relinquished
Rights When They Sent
Him to Founding Home

A dec. ion was rendered by Judge
Moss OF the superior court yesterday
morning denying the motion of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph N. Murphy to set aside
the adoption OF their 2-year-old son,
Horace Francis Murphy, by Mr. and
Mrs. Owen T.. Rogers, and the latter
Will retain the child, over whom the
two families have been fighting in the
courts.
Mrs. NJ. Smith, who claims she is the
undivorced wife of Isaac Smith, wild
over of Mrs. Isabel Heating Smith and
heir to 100000 of the Heating fortune,
took the stand in Judge Moss court
Yesterday and testified that her daugh-
ter, Mrs Joseph N Murphy, had de-
liberately signed away her rights to
the child over year ago and was well
aware of what she was doing
Mr.. and Mrs. Rogers adopted the
child when it was a few weeks old
from the Children's Home society OF
Los Angeles. The suit inaugurated by
the parents of the child was to set
aside the adoption on the ground that
Mrs. Smith had represented to them
that the baby had died in the chill
drens home. Mrs Murphy also de-
clared that previous to the period OF
the childs supposed death she had
signed papers giving up the baby
without reading the articles.
Mother Lacked Interest
In his decision Judge Moss stated he
realized fully that the child was the
flesh and blood of the plaintiffs. The
child had been born out of wedlOck,
however, when the parents were bare
ly over Is years of age themselves
Under the circumstances he understood
that they were not particularly anX-
ious to retain the baby, which was put
in the children's home by the girls
mother. During it's stay in the home
for over three weeks he found that the
mother had not been interested enough
to visit the child and see how it was
getting along.
Consequently when Mr.. and Mrs
Rogers adopted the child, believing ii
had been abandoned, and had the
adoption approved by the district at
torneys office and went through the
regular legal procedure for the adop-
ton, he could not see why the child
should be taken from the people who
had taken 1t and raised 1t from its
infancy
He believed the child would have a
better home with the Rogers family In
view of the fact that Joseph N. Muir
ply was not regularly employed and
had recently had another addition to
the family which would require con-
siderable care.
He took into consideration, he said
the fact that Murphy, in order to mar
ry, had perjured himself to secure q
marriage license, as he was under age
and married without the consent of hi!
mother. Reviewing the circumstance
surrounding both the Murphy anC
Rogers families, he believed the bes
place for the child was with the latter
