LOS ANGELES. March 2 officers
are seeking those responsible for the
attempt to wreck the Redondo
Beach suburban electric train with
$50 passengers, last night, when they
piled huge Instructions on the track
embankment skirting the ocean.
The trolley wire snapped just
ahead of the obstruction, causing
the train to stop, and avoid being
plunged into the ocean.
The police theory is that some de-
