Redding Capitalist Charged
With Deserving Child; First
Case Under New Law

For the first time since the new
law making the abandonment of
minor child felony went into effect
In California man of independent
means, J. M Dixon. a Redding cap
italist, after whose father the town
of Dixon was named, stands on trial
before Judge Lawlor, his own wife
the accusing witness
Talesmen were examined today and
jury secured, after which court ad-
5ourned until tomorrow morning,
when the first evidence will be re-
corded
Meanwhile. Dixon's suit for divorce,
filed in Redding and brought to this
city by Attorney Marcus L Samue1s on
change of venue, is pending nthe su-
perior court, and, according to the at
torney, several sensational features
will figure in the case, including the
trailing of the wrong woman by de-
tectives said to have been in the en-
ploy of Dixon and the rescue of Luz
ellie by Mrs. Dixon from a moving
train In Sacramento at the risk of the
mothers life.
WHEN DIxON'S TROUBLES BEGAN
Dlxons troubles began, 1t is said,
when he sold $1,000 worth of COM
munity property at Redding. Since
that time Mrs. Dixon's attorney has
forced Dixon to tell Justice of the
Peace Creighton what he did with the
money. At first Dixon refused to an
swer the questions, but changed his
mind when threatened with contempt
of court by Judge Mogan. Dixon was
defendant in suit by DR.. S. Nicholas
Jacobs to collect a bill for services.
The capitalist accounted for the
money received by saying that he
gave his friend, e. E. Todd, $4,000 to
repay loan made in 1892. Attorney
Samuels states that Todd is at pres
ent on Dixons bail bond for $4,000.
OF the remaining money $3.50 went for
piano for Dixon's sister, $3.50 for
attorneys and the remainder for liv-
ing expenses.
SISTER MATERIAL WITNESS
One of the material witnesses in the
abandonment and divorce cases will
be Mrs. Minnie Lacey, wife of the
proprietor Of the oyster Loaf and sis
ter of Mrs. Dixon. who assisted the
mother in removing her child from
the train at Sacramento.

1t establishes the rule that 1t is not

issue a special subpoena to secure nee

tur effective at once.
