murder of his young wife, Sarah F1gue-
roa, by shooting her May % in this
city. The majority of the audience in
the court room of Police Judge Car
rillo were women, many of whom were
friends of the dead woman, who was
formerly Miss Sarah Pugsley of 1916
Hustled avenue, Los Angeles
After occupying the entire day the
hearing was postponed until tomorrow
morning, to be again taken up then.
1t is expected that hearing will not be
completed until late tomorrow or pos
sibly not until Thursday. Attorney
Chambers of Los Angeles is represent
ing Figueroa. Deputy District Attor
ney Arthur Keetch is looking after the
states interests.
Four witnesses We're examined to-
day, including A. d. Pugsley, brother
of Mrs. Figueroa; Mrs. Eloysia Sam
mann. aunt of the prisoner; Mrs. Pugs
ley, mother Of Mrs. Figueroa, and Off
Ger James Benton of the local police
force to whom Figueroa gave himself
up on the night of the murder. The
testimony was practically the same as
that submitted at the inquest conduct
ed here by Coroner Hartwell last week,
no new facts having been brought
forth Although Mrs. Sammanp, who
saw the shooting, gave damaging testi-
mony, she has yet failed to state that
the gun used was actually in the hands
of Figueroa 1t has not yet been de-
termined how the revolver came to
be placed in the corner of the room
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-01

where the tragedy took place, several
feet from where the body of the young
woman was found. Mrs. Sammann will
be placed on the witness stand when
court convenes tomorrow and a rigid
| cross-examination will be given her
by Attorney Chambers. A number of
other witnesses, mostly neighbors who
heard the shot fired, will also be called
to testify tomorrow.
FIGUEROA SEEMS FLIPPANT
Figueroa does not exhibit the stolid
indifference noticeable at the time of the
inquest. Instead he appeared today to
be flippant and to look upon his posi-
ito lightly, Notwithstanding the gen.
eral feeling of those who have watched
the network of evidence close around
him that he is facing a strong case.
Mrs. Figueroa was shot down follow
ing a quarrel in which her husband is
said to have take the leading part
while the couple were in little sum
mer house in the front yard of Mrs
Sammann's residence on South Fourth
street. In company with friends Figue-
hoa had been drinking in the after
noon and evening and quarreled with
his wife over some trivial matter, the
substance of which has not yet been
ascertained. Mrs. SamIhann attempted
to prevent Figueroa from injuring the
young woman and it was while she was
arguing with her nephew that the
shot was fired, supposedly by Figueroa.
The Figueroas were married only
three weeks before the murder. hav-

geles public market on Alameda street
from Sixth to Industrial. While the
council did not formally commit itself
in any direction. it was evident 1t did
not take kindly to the recommendation
of the board of public utilities that 1t
adopt a policy of limiting spur track
franchises to ten years and include q
clause in the franchise making II re-
vocable at the will of the council.
Meyer Lissner, president of the hoard
of public utilities. told the council that
the recommendation of the board mad
been based on information 1t had re-
ceived from cities in the east where
ten years is the limit of spur track
franchises He said the board did not
insist on the council adopting this policy
at once but suggested that thirty days
be taken for consideration and In the
meantime the board would get turther
data on the subject.
Several persons representing impor-
tant interests were present to protest
against any such action by the council.
JoBBERs PROTEST
Traffic Manager Gregson of the Assoc
ciated Jobbers said that such policy
would have a tendency to disturb indus
trial conditions. He declared that sew
eral large manufacturers were await
ing action of the council on this ques-
ton to determine whether they would
establish their business in Los Angeles.
He said that among these was the IA
cific Tank company, concern employ
ing 400 men, that intends to build It's
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-01

factory here but that the president Of
the concern has stated positively that
he would not do So with such restrie-
tions on his railroad facilities.
Herbert Burdett, secretary of the Los
Angeles realty board protested in the
name of that organization. lie said
Los Angeles was not yet an industrial
city, but that its industries must be
classed as infants and that IL could not
afford to adopt such measures as had
been adopted in New York, Detroit
Chicago and other eastern cities quoted
by the board of public utilities.
DISASTROUS POLICY
c. r. McStay and ]. V. Vickers. rep
resentng the chamber of commerce, de-
clared that such action by the council
would be disastrous to Los Angeles in
dustrial interests.
1t was apparent that a majority of
the council favored the position of the
protestants. although they agreed that
the action in granting an unrestricted
franchise to the market should not be
taken as a precedent and there might
be special cases whom different action
would be deemed advisable. The coun-
ell instructed the board of public utilt-
ties to go ahead and get all the data
it could on franchise limitations.
