ALLEGED SALE OF
GOODS FROM MAYORS
HARDWARE STORE is
CITED IN COMPLAINT
OF FRANK RICHMOND
Complainant in the Case is
the Citizen Who Endeav-
ored to Get City to Re-
lease Barrel of Beer Con-
signed to Him.

George w. Watkins, president of
the Board of City Trustees, was
named in misdemeanor complaint
served on him this morning. In the
complaint he was charged with SELL
ing to the city goods valued at $34.04
from his hardware store on July 5,
in violation of the penal code.
J. S. Larew, attorney for Mr.. Wat
kins. appeared for him before JUS
tice Mayfield. The justice had found
section of the penal code which,
apparently took the case out of his
hands and threw it into the Superior
court.
Mr.. Watkins declined to make any
statement other than that he had been
informed that the grand jury had
thoroughly investigated the purchase
by the city of goods at his hardware
store, and had exOnerated him from
any wrOngd0ing. Whether the grand
jury has made formal report on
the matter is question which in
wolves the jurisdiction of the Justice
court.
Frank Richmond, the plaintiff in
this case, is the same Richmond who
ordered barrel of beer from Los
Angeles. and, failing to get it be-
cause the railroad company, acting
on the advice of Mayor Watkins. held
it up. is now endeavoring to get the
barrel in the city's recorders court.
