.FREDERICKS TO FIGHT
RELEASE OF H0RN|NG
Wires Assistant to Rearrest Man
if Judge Rules in Favor
of the Prisoner

Assistant District Attorney John
North wired District Attorney Fred
ericks yesterday that Fred Horning,
who was released from Folsom prison
on habeas corpus proceedings and who
is now in the San Francisco county
jail, is seeking his release for the sec
ond time through habeas corpus pro-
ceedings which will be heard in Sacra-
nento this morning.
Assistant District Attorney McCo-
mas. on instructions from the district
attorney, wired voluminous instructions
to North late yesterday afternoon.
Though the district attorneys office
will not talk on the possibility of Hor-
ming securing his freedom today, it Is
known that North had been instructed
to have him rearrested If Judge Hughes
should rule in Mornings favor.
Horning, who was companion OF
Carl Sutherland, the murderer of Po-
lice Captain Auble, was serving time in
tile Fclscm penitentiary after having
been convicted in 1908 of attempt to
murder a Japanese in Los Angeles. His
attorney secured his release through
babeas corpus proceedings on June 10,
last, the case having been argued be-
fore Judge Hughes of Sacramento.
Judge Hughes held that the COM
plant against Horning, which charged
assault with a deadly weapon, was de-
fective because it did not set forth the
weapon used in the alleged offense.
District Attorney Fredericks requested
that Horning be apprehended, and
when the chase became a general one
throughout the state the former convict
surrendered to the san Francisco po-
lice.
District Attorney Fredericks stated
that California courts opinions have
held differently than Judge Hughes
opinion in regard to like complaints.

ROCK SUIT HINGES ON
ENGINEERS STATEMENT
Whether Loder Condemned Ma
teriaI in Remarks Occupies
Attorneys Attention

Whether A. E. Loder, chief engineer
of the highway commission, said the
rock furnished Frank Gillespie, con-
tractor, who constructed a part of Ell
Monte road, between Los Angeles and
Alhambra, by the Spaulding Rock
company, was up to specifications was
an interesting point in the suits be-
tween the company and the contractor
that are on trial in Judge Hervey' s de-
partment of the superior court.
Gillespie contracted for rock from
the Spaulding company, which owns a
quarry at Spadra. He claims the
original contract price was $22,7O0, of
which he paid all except $4700. 1t is
for the latter sum that the rock COM
pany brought suit which was answered
by suit against it in Gillespie's name,
he claiming that because of rock not
up to Specifications and the necessity
of rebuilding parts of the road to the
extent of 10000 feet he was damaged to
the amount Of 1886.
Gillespie detailed his troubles through
large part Of the session yesterday,
being followed on the witness stand by
Mr.. Loder, who, members of the
Spaulding Rock company assert, said
before the trial that the rock was
up to specifications. Mr.. LQder said
he did not remember saying such a
thing, despite the assertions on the
part of attorneys for the rock company
that remarks he is alleged to have
made before them were taken down in
shorthand.
Mr., Loder was succeeded on tho
stand by George H. Bixby, president
of the highway commission, who, with
other members of that body, were sub
poenaed as witnesses. Mr. Bixby knew
nothing about the affair except what
he had heard and his giving of testi-
mony, therefore, was not of long dura-
ton.
Daniel Holiday, formerly engineer
for the advisory committee, was an
other witness. He said he had tested
the rock in question and that 1t was
not all that was specified. After plac-
ing 1t in a tumbler for that purpose,
he said, the rock lost 20 per cent, when
it. should not have lost more than 25
per cent, thus arguing that the claims
of Gillespie to the effect that the rock
was soft are correct.
Testimony will be resumed in the
case today.

.BERTRAM FREED;
BAIRD'S FIRST ACT
Successor to Township Justice
Ling Decides Charges of Sol
dier'S Wife GroundleSS
TO DISPOSE OF MANY CASES
Appointee Must Work Hard to
Wade Through ACCumu-
lated Business
TO DISPOSE OF MANY CASES

w. S. Baird. appointed by the board
of supervisors yesterday to fill the
position of township justice left va
cant recently by the death of r. A.
Ling, took the bench yesterday after
noon, and his first official act as JUS
tice in his own courtroom was TO dis
miss the case pending against George
Il. Bertram, who was charged by his
wife, Fern Bertram, with having failed
to support her.
Bertram is in the United States army
and was taken in custody at Goat ISL
and. San Francisco. Justice Baird dis
missed the case at the request of AS
sistant District Attorney Earl New
mier, he having informed the court
that the mother of the accused had
paid all expenses caused by returning
him to this city and that the man had
given bond as surety that he would
contribute to the support of his wife.
The newly appointed Justice VIII be
kept busy, for since the death OF Jus
tice Ling many cases have been filed
and now await disposition.
Justice Baird has been a resident OF
Los Angeles since 1899, he having come
to the United States from Scotland.
He is a graduate of Glasgow univer-
sity of Scotland and of the law school
OF the university OF southern NtIlIoI
MIA. At the former university he at
tained an M. D. degree and at the lat
ter a bachelors degree.
His relatives reside in Glasgow, and
his uncle is a prominent lawyer OF that
city. w. S. Baird, a cousin Of the JUS
tice, is prominent in Glasgow politics,
he being a former member of parlia-
ment.
Justice Baird expects to attain the
name of the marrying justice, for his
predecessor united many couples in the
bonds of matrimony.
The new justice was married less
than two months ago.

Baird as clerk of the court, also took
up his first duties yesterday. He has

FATHER OF SLAIN
WIFE IS vENGEFUL
Parent of Mrs. LuitWeiIer Pleads
with Coroner'S Jury That
Justice Be Done
WOMAN ABUSED, THEN KILLED
Man Who Committed the Terrible
Crime Refuses to Attend
Inquest on Victim
ABUSED, THEN KILLED

Dramatically pleading with the jury
that justice be done, W. G. Dilling-
ham, father of Stella Luitweiler, who
was murdered by her husband, George
c. Luitweiler, last Sunday, took the
witness stand at the inquest held over
her body in Bresee Bros morgue
yesterday afternoon and graphically
told of the strife and difference be-
tween the young married couple. He
told of how the husband had abused
her innumerable times and how the
murdered wife had always stood ready
to do anything for him.
Following the inquest the coroner's
jury returned a verdict of homicidal
death caused by a gunshot wound in
ficted by George c. Luitweiler with
intent to commit murder. Robert A.
Allen was foreman of the jury.
The inquest developed no new
features in the tragedy which was en-
acted in the family house on State
street Sunday morning while the wife
and her sister were sitting at the
breakfast table.
Detective Ben McCann, one of the
arresting officers, was the next wit
ness called after Mr.. Dillingham;. He
related the facts concerning Luit-
weilerS arrest and also the condition
of the house when he arrived there
from police headquarters. He produced
revolver which was found in Luit-
weiler's possession with three loaded
and three unloaded cartridges in it.
This was exhibited to the jury. He
testified Luitweiler confessed to him to
having killed his wife, but further than
that he would not speak of the matter.
Detective Rico, who discovered Luit-
weller lying on bed in an upstairs
room of the house after he had takei
quantity of cyanide of potassium,
corroborated McCann's testimony in
every detail.
SLAYER STAYS AWAY
DR.. George w. Campbell, autopsy
surgeon, testified concerning the exam
ination made upon Mrs. Luitweiler's
body. He produced a bullet of the
same caliber as those found in Luit-
weiler's possession, which he had eX-
tracted from her brain.
Luitweiler, when asked to attend the
inquest, refused, stating that he had
been so advised by his attorney, Paul
Schenck. He is still being guarded by
special guards, who watch over him
day and night to prevent him from de-
feating the ends of Justice.
Following the inquest Luitweiler was
taken before Police Judge Chambers
and arraigned on a charge of murder
in the first degree. Owing to the alb
sence of his attorney the case was con-
tinued until this morning at 10 o'clock,
at which time he will be arraigned and
a date set for his preliminary hearing.
Miss May Agnes Dillingham;, sister
Of the dead woman and the only wit
ness to the tragedy, who was shot
twice by the infuriated husband in an
attempt to kill her, is still in the Cali
fornia hospital as the result of her in
juries. She is reported as being much
improved.
The funeral services for Mrs. Luit-
weller will be held in the chapel In the
undertaking parlors of Bresee Bros.
this afternoon at o'clock. Burial will
be in Rosedale cemetery

GlLLETT APPOINTMENT

The appointment of a successor to

court of appeals, rests entirely with
Governor Gi1ett and until he makes
the appointment, no business can be

with the present vacancy existing the
court cannot sit. Many attorneys are
pulling political wires in an effort to
secure the appointment.
