OF M'MAHAN AGAINST LOPE
SING READY FOR ARGUMENT
PROBABLY TOMORROW.

Oliver Beers, former owner of the
hop ranch upon which Lope Sing has
lease, and which lease L. H. McMa-
han, who has purchased the ranch,
under a contract lis endeavoring to
have cancelled, was the principal wit
ness in the case today.
Beers testified that he sold the
farm to McMahan under contract,
whereby he is to pay $50 an acre, and
that it comprised $40 acres. About
$4,000 had been paid, he declared.
He further testified that Sing had
had lease on the ranch for about IS
years, and that his cultivation of 1t
had been satisfactory all the while.
He declared he had recently visited
the ranch and that he found it under
good cultivation, and that, when wear
and tear were considered, that the
fences, warehouse and other buildings
we're in as good shape as could be
reasonably expected.
This afternoon Lope Sing, the de-
fendant, will take the stand. After his
testimony is concluded, and the plain
tiffs rebuttal evidence is in, il he sub
mits any, the argument will be made.

A Dirty Detective.

Hall of Justice, Los Angeles, Cal,
June 6.-Detectlve Bert H. Franklin,
Star witness" for the state, was re-
called to the stand for further cross
examination by the defense attorneys
when the trial of Clarence Darrow for
alleged jury bribing was resumed to-
day.
Franklin admitted conversation
he had with George H. Hood, an old
friend of his, on January IA, 1912 in
which he told that "the man who gave
me the $4,000 for jury briblng was
near by at the time Of my arrest"
II did not mean Darrow," testified
Franklin.
This testimony referred to Frank
Inns conversation with Hood, to whom
he stated that "Darrow was not the
man. In his direct examination
Franklin swore that Darrow gave him
the money and was close by at the
time Of his arrest.
Franklin also admitted that he ap-
piled for a position In the district at
torneys office two weeks before he
was employed by the Mcnamara de-
fense.
Rogers attempted to make Franklin
admit that he went to the office of
the Merchants and Manufacturer as
ISOLATION and conferred with the d.
rectors after his arrest District At
torney Fredericks strenuously object
ed to this line Of questioning, de-
claring It was an attempt to bring
union labor into the case, and to
cloud the real Issues.
Judge Hutton overruled the objec-
tion, and Rogers brought out that all
the members Of the Merchants and
Manufacturers association strike
breaking committee are friends OF
Franklin.
why did you accept a position with
the Mcnamara defense when you and
those helping the prosecution we're
such good frlends2' asked Rogers.
"Oh, merely as a matter OF bust
nesss," replied the witness.
