GIRLS All:
WEAKENED
Ruling of Judge Bledsoe on
Testimony of Witnesses
Favors Defense in Trial

Los ANGELES, Sept. 22.-Mahy Of
the handsome young women who. the
state declares, proved the undoing Of
George ii. Bixby Long Beach mil
lionaire, took the witness stand in the
trial Of Bixby today and said they
had met him and knew him quite
well. For a moment Bixby appeared
as the Black Pearl and then hts
identity changed TO King and inalf1
u 'sMr .glasizson;''
The. defense scored big point
when Judge Bledsoe. after more than
half hour Of consultation with the
attorneys on both sides, announced
that the young women who have been
called by the state to tell their stories
are not to be permitted to relate any
of the events that they related to the
grand jury.
DEFENSE MAKES ADMISSION
The defense kept the stories OF the
young women Off the records by ad-
hitting that the Jonquil was very
bad place and that Bixby occasionally
appeared there. III was also admitted
by the defense that Miss Barker did
not bear the reputation the average
young woman does.
The young women called to the
stand today were like Miss Barker, In
that their compilations had sadly de-
teriorated since the grand jury probe.
their dress was much quieter and their
department very retiring
WITNESS At EASE
But one exception was found This
was Miss Grace Redwine. who, prior
to the opening OF the trial. had
amused herself by dropping out of
sight occasionally.
Miss Redwine strode smilingly to
the witness stand. seated herself.
crossed her feet and waited. She was
handsomely gowned and appeared
perfectly at ease.
The spectators craned their necks
to hear it all, and they did The
substance of Miss Redwine's testi-
mony was that she didn't know
whether she had seen Bixby at the
JonquiI or not She smiled again and
left the stand.
The prospect of hearing the story
of Mrs. Irene Marie Brown Levy
proved a great attraction for spec
tators. The line outside the doors of
the courtroom wound in and out of
the corridors and was 100 yards long
Court was called to order at 1929
Judge Bledsoe ordered the jury to
withdraw He then said in brief:
Il believe the purpose OF the district
attorney in calling other girl wit
nesses is to prove the character OF the
Jonquil and that the defendant
knew it.
There is a rule of law that evi-
dence which tends to prove matters
foreign to a charge on trial can not
be barred because of possible preju-
dice.
however, tue ueIenuanL auiIiies
that the character of the JonquiI was
as alleged. that Miss Barker was a
young woman of questionable char
acter and that Bixby went to the
house.
THE. prosecution has called other
young women to testify to the char
acter Of the house and Bixbys knowI
edge OF It.
Should they testify TO this, and
in doing so testify Of acts which
might infiuepce or prejudice the jury.
the good faith Of the court and dis
trict attorney might be questioned.
Therefore, no testimony Of other
young women can be given which
refers to alleged criminal acts oc-
curing only between themselves and
the defendant

stand TO BE questioned within the

oCHE:|VE:
To RELEASE:
C()UL.Sl)N
Police to Charge Seed Mer-
chant With Staying; Woman
to Testify in Hospital

The police are ready to place a
charge of murder against A. r. Coul-
son. the Market street seed merchant.
suspected of killing two men and
wounding katherine Gallagher in the
Atlas garage Thursday morning.
Hearing that his attorneys, Levy &
Lipmann, have taken steps to secure
his release by habeas corpus, the offi-
GERS have planned drastic action to
forestall this move.
Because of the lack Of evidence
against Coulson, the police depart
ment had decided to leave Coulson
alone with his thoughts until after
the coroner's jury fixes the blame for
the death of William Acker and
George Kovack at the inquest tomor-
row evening.
Coroner T. B. w. Leland and his
jury men Will DC lAhen 10 the city
and county hospital in the almshouse
tract during the inquest, in order to
hear the testimony of the injured
woman, Katherine Gallagher. who
was shot through the neck.
Coulson was not subjected to the
morning ~showup'' of prisoners.
Every day the prisoners are paraded
before the detectives.
Captain Mooney decided it would
be bad policy to subject the suspect
to the scrutiny of the plain clothes
men. thinking such discontinue might
steel Coulson against telling any
thing.
Early today it was learned at the
central station that Coulson's attor-
neys planned coup to free him.
Detective de la Guerra, who is han
ding the case for the detective bu-
reau. announced that the minute
habeas corpus proceedings are begun
the formal charge will be lodged
against him.
WIDOW TO TESTIFY
An interesting development of the
case is the expected revelation of
Mrs. Julia Kovack, widow of the
garage employe who was shot down.
which is promised for the inquest
Mrs. Kovack was temporarily de-
ranged by the tragic death of her
husband and is under observation at
the detention hospital
Mrs. Mary G. Stafford, who accom-
panied Katherine Gallagher on the
Joy ride and tour of the beach that
preceded the shooting. was released
from detinue yesterday.
ONLY WITNESS TO TESTIFY
The appearance of the wounded
woman. the only living witness to the
triple shooting save the man who
committed the crime, at the inquest
will fix the lines of the police attack
on Coulson
If she remains loyal to Coulson and
refuses to identity him as the man
behind the gun, the police say 1t will
be impossible to connect Coulson with
the crime except in the most round
about and unconvincing sort of way.
