winner.
Los Angeles, Dec. 10.-Despite the
chill that followed the setting of the
sun, a large crowd of fight enthusiasts
thronged the open air arena at Yer
non, tonight, for the 20-round bout be-
tween Jim Flynn, the veteran heavy
weight, and Luther McCarty, the
young Missouri giant. The betting had
been heavy and the odds even with
the men alternating as favorites.
MeCarty appeared to be in perfect
condition and while the same was said
in behalf of Flynn, some of those who
watched his final workouts expressed
scepticism. He had suffered for the
want of sparring partners and had
little opportunity for a good sparring
workout.
Flynn announced his weight at 100
pounds. McCarty weighed in at POS.
McCarty and Flynn entered the ring.
at S:55. Betting at the ringside was
even money.
Time was called, at zoe McCarty
carried the fight to Flynn throughout
the first round and the fireman spat
blood as he went to his corner.
McCarty continued to force the
fighting in the second. Flynn seemed
unable to reach him effectively. Near
the end of the round Flynn was stag
gered by a series of rights and lefts
to the face and appeared groggy He
came up with a rush in the third, but
McCarty stopped him with a singer
that drew blood from the fireman's
nose and forced him to stall.
Flynn evened it up in the fourth
rushing McCarty repeatedly and hook
ing him with uppercut that rocked the
Missourians head. The fifth was a
hammer and tongs affair, ending with
a fierce mixup in the center of the
ring. In the sixth Flynn staggered
MeCarty with a left swing that sent
him against the ropes.
The seventh. bitterly contested
throughout, ended with honors even.
Both men showed signs of wear when
they went to their corners. The succeed
ing round was tame. In the 10th McCar-
ty landed hard right to the jaw, put
ting the veteran down 4or' the count of
nine, Flynn arose groggy and hung on
Following up this advantage the Mis-
sourian dropped Flynn for a second ana
third time, but the fireman made a re-
markable rally and lasted out the round
McCarty tried hard to end it in the 10th,
but Flynn showed strong recuperative
powers and held his heavier opponent
fairly even. Badly battered and rushing
blindly, flynn went through the 18th,
rocked repeatedly by the blows that Nc
Carly landed almost at will. It was the
same in the 18th. the fremans stamina
arousing the wonder of the crowd
Flynn kept boring in in the 18th, sway
ing his head under the fusilade of blows
that McCarty rained upon his puffed and
bleeding face. The next two rounds went
the same way, the Missourian having his
antagonist at his mercy but lacking the
driving power to stop him.
Flynn seemed almost helpless when at
the outset of the 10Th he was sent down
for the count of nine and when mo-
ment later a smash to the jaw dropped
him for the second time Referee Eyton
stopped the fight and declared McCarty
the winner.

FINED TWENTY DOLLARS.

Most of the time of the Police
Court this morning was consumed in
investigating the case Of Arthur
Thomas, who had been arrested by
Officer Rawlett on the charge Of as
saulting C. w. Wattles, agent Of the
Norfolk and Washington Steamboat
Company with knife.
Mr.. Wattles stated that shortly al
ter the steamer Southland reached her
wharf at this port yesterday evening,
Thomas entered the Office and asked
for ticket to Norfolk. He was
told to procure his ticket on the boat,
After the steamer reached the wharf
and before the gang plank had been
placed in position, Thomas attempted
to climb over the rail of the steamer,
when he was stopped by Mr.. Wattles
and led off the gang plank, the agent
telling him that he might be the vic
tim of an accident in attempting to
get aboard before the plank had been
placed in position and the rail of the
steamer removed.
Mr.. Wattles left Thomas standing
about eight feet from him, and was
experimenting the colored men who
we're placing the plank on the steamer
when Captain Posey called to Mr..
Wattles to look out, as Thomas was
preparing to cut him. When Mr..
Wattles turned Thomas was but a few
feet away. The former went toward
him and while holding his arm called
to Officer Rawlett, who was under
the shed, to place Thomas under ar
rest. The latter had in the meantime
closed the knife and placed it in his
pocket.
Thomas was represented by Z. D.
Brumback, who examined the WIT
nesses closely.
Thomas disclaimed any intention OF
attacking Mr.. Wattles. He said he
was in charge of machinery which
was on its way to Norfolk and said
his haste to get aboard was caused
by anxiety as to whether or not
certain piece had been put aboard
the steamer. He admitted he hao
had several drinks before he went
to the wharf.
Mr.. Brumback, in his argument
contended that Thomas had no III
tention of committing any overt ac'
and the fact that he had opened his
knife was not to be regarded as ar
intention of using it as a weapon
as any man had the liberty to do the
same.
Justice Cation, however, took a dif'
ferent view of the matter, and finet
Thomas $40.

FAINT HOPES.
Spends Second Night in Death Cell.
Reads Bible Until 9
O'clock.
RELISHES HIS BREAKFAST
1nprobability Of Governor FOss Rec
ommending Leniency for the Con-
demnad Nan.

Boston, May 16.--Richeson spent
his first night in the death cell at
Charlestown prison restfully. He
read his Bible until about 9:3O o'clock
and then went to bed. According to
the guards, he was uneasy until near
midnight when he became composed.
He slept sourdly until 1920 when he
arose, carefully washed and dressed
and asked for a breakfast of eggs,
toast and milk.
Warden Bridges was away today on
business. His son, who is deputy in
the prison, was in charge. He said
Richeson was bearing up remarkably
well. Richeson did not eat &c hearth
ly as yesterday but he appeared to
relish his morning meal.
T'.nre was still the faintest hope
at noon .oday that Gov. Foss would
send Richeson's petition for lenency to
his council, but this seemed very I'M
probable. Gov. Foss told a United
Press correspondent today shortly af-
ter reaching the state house that he
has yet to go thoroughly over the re-
ports OF Drs. Steadman Forest and
Tuttie, three of the alienists who ex-
amned the doomed minister at Char
les street Jail.
While it has been repeatedly and
strongly intimated by state house Of
ticials that these reports do not say
Richeson is insane, two of them said
to be far from flat statements that
he is sane 1t was said that for
this reason the governor may present
tie petition. thus putting on his coun-
ell the responsibility Of the state for
taking the life OF a man, who might
he shown by postmortem autopsy,
to have been insane.
This hope of a leniency petition be-
;ny presented by Gov. Foss, however,
il was said really would mean little,
for the council was known to be large
" opposed to lenicncy.
