Albert Bothman, proprietor OF the
Hotel Wilmington, today arrested
Charles F. Nelson. a middle aged

Mr.. Bothman TO send Il c. o. d. 10

was booked. The hotel man said he
sent the coat but Il came back Nelson
refusing TO accept IT,
Mr.. Bothman said that in going
over his hotel register last night he
came across the name Nelson and
thought It sounded familiar. Investi-
cation showed that the Nelson OF last
February, year ago, and the man now
here were one and the same Nelson,
however, managed TO get to his room
last night without Mr.. Bothman seeing
him. He sent down stairs shortly be-
fore II o'clock for a drink.
The bell boy was intercepted by Mr.
Bothman while returning to th,
guests room, and he asked him whG
the drink was for. Mr.. Bothman in

OFF COAST OF SONORA

MEXICO CITY. Mexico, Oct. IA
To the death and disaster from the
tidal wave and hurricane, which de-
vastated $50 miles of the coast of
Sonora, is now added the fear that
few Of the relief trains sent out from
Hermosillo have reached their dest-
nation. owing to the activity Of the
Sonora bandits.
Reports from the stricken COM
munity indicate that only a small per-
centage Of these trains ever reached
their destination, and that some OF
those that did arrive had been robbed
by the bandits. The governor is
sending troops out with every relief
corps now leaving the city.
The latest news from the west is
that the damage is even greater than
was at first estimated, The Southern
Pacific alone places their loss at $780,
900 and reports that the loss Of life
was very great.

climbing TO the bare face of the rocky

A watchmans tower on the elevated
road, the one spot Of vantage outside
the grounds, was packed like a poliu-

OF the apartments on the far side OF

were packed with manipulators OF

BIG POINT In
M'NAMARA CASE
Row Over Whether Venirsman
Who Has Expressed an
Opinion is Qualified
HOW A COMMON LAW
TEST WAS OVERCOME
By The United Press.

RJ Oullcu
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 14-That an
amendment forced through the Legis-
lature of California, for the benefit
OF the railroad machine which for
years controlled the destinies OF the
state, will prove an enormous factor
in the makeup of the Jury which will
pass on the guilt or innocence Of
James Barnabus Mcnamara, was ad-
mitted by both sides in the case to-
day
When Judge Bordwell reserved his
decision on the application of the de-
Tense to remove from the jury box
"for cause" Venireman Nelson. he
made it plain TO 10th sides that an
Interpretation of the qualification
clauses of the penal code, enacted by
the Legislature 70 rescind the common
law provision was extremely difficult,
but that his decision would lay
down an absolute law which both
bodies must observe.
The common law unqalifiedly as
serts that a person having an opinion
which it would require evidence 70
remove is not qualified to serve on a
jury. Because Of this fact, suits by
railroads were held up many times
in California courts. Finally the big
business interests combined and
forced through the Legislature a
seemingly harmless provision which
declared that, where a venirman, ad-
n.itting an opinion, also said he was
willing TO waive such an opinion, he
was qualified for jury service.
Defense Would Trust to God.
II the statute forbidding the defense
ar
upheld. Attorney Darrow for the de-
tense admitted today that the defense
would be compelled TO utilize its EN-
tire twenty peremptory challenges for
cause. "and then take what's left and
trust to Cod"
Tody the defense through Judge
Cyrus McNutt scathyingly arraigned
the legislative emasculation Of the
common law McNutt insisted that
Judge Bordwell realize that the state
ment Of Venireman Nelson that he had
an opinion as to McNamara's guilt
and also that he believed the Los
Angeles Times had been dynamited-
could only mean that Mcnamara
would have no chance should Nelson
remain in the box.
The district attorney and his as
sistants spoke bitterly declaring the
defense was straining at a gnat and
swallowing a camel. They demanded
that court overrule the de'ense's ehal-
lenge Of Venireman Nelson for cause
and rule that all veniremen who say
in court that they are willing 70
abandon any opinion they may have
formed, are qualified 10 serve as
Jurors.
Attorneys for the defense today
angrily denounced the action of the
State in bring an employe Of thf
Times, William Brown, into court dur.

ed out to Brown, who was asked
whether he was the same individual
Brown had seen near the Times
building the night before. the ex
plosion. Brown was seated at the
prosecution table like an attorney
where he could get a good look a

teristics. The defense attorneys con
ferred today as to how to frustrat'
such methods. They admit they ar,
