OF the DAYS work of Samuel T..
Brown. chief investigator OF tho
state, who arrested three mon and
stacked District Attorney Fred

taken from their pockets in Fred

throughout the day. No grand jury

0 far as Franklin is concerned, be-
cause his ease a be taken care of
through information FLED by The dis
trict attorney, but il it is desired tn
reach any one under an arrest an in-
dictment is necessary. Investigator
Brown said that no arrest would be
made today, although earlier in The
day he had predicted other more inn
portant ones were to follow.
Dramatic Arrest.
There was nothing stercotpyed
about the arrest OF Franklin, lit was
no hotel room or saloon scene fami-
liar TO followers OF exposes. A de-
putty United States marshall arrested
Franklin. on. a street corner in the
heart OF the Los Angeles wholesale
district in broad daylight, while q
detective, disguised as a laborer,
stood. u%nscreened, close enough to
him to hear what be said. Brown,
himself sheltered by a building. was
close enough with his assistants TO
catch the three men before two OF
them could take their hands out nr
their pockets after it is. alleged they
lad stuffed the money into them.
SO, hands in pockets, they werc
marched. TO the Hall Of Records,
where the Mcnamara trial is staged
the fourth floor and District At
torney Frederick waited for them at
eleventh floor. = go
Hands in pockets they entered the
Office and When the hands came out,
declared, yellow bills clung.to
their! fingers. Twenty minutes later
two of the men-I.ockwood, the We
nireman. and White. LII ex-jWror and
supposed stakeholiler-went out of
the swinging doors free men. hardly
enough time haYing elapsed to al
low; the dictation and signing of Il;
# this were done.
Announcement that. they wonl1
appear against Franklin as witnesses
followed them out.
