UNEMPLOYED ARE
RUSHED TO SCENE
OF FOREST FIRE
Trapped Men Escape
From Blazes
Today
Nv United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10.-Order-
ed from their beds in ledging houses
and cheap hotels, more than 100 un-
employed men were early today
drafted into service to augment the
small army fighting the losing battle
against the forest fire raging
throughout the San Gabriel canyon
district.
The action was taken by Los An
geles authorities on the request of
forest rangers in charge of the fire
fighters, who reported the begrimed
volunteers, many of whom have been
along the battle line forthe past 10
DAYS, are nearing exhaustion.
1t is estimated taht nearly 500
men are along tie fire line, meeting
with little success in their struggle
to stem the red tide of flame, On
some sectors, according to latest re,
ports, the fire is being gradually
halted, while on others it is steadily
advancing.
Pool Saved Lives
Ranger F. L. Kirby and six men,
reported surrounded by fire last
night, broke through the flames
early today and staggered into Rob
erts camp. They reported that only
discovery of a pool of water in
which they lay while the fire passed
them by, saved their lives.
More than ten mountain homes
are directly in the pathway of
flames, which have leaped across
Roberts and, Fish canyons and are
advancing up the slopes of Mon
rovia peak, according to meager
word from the mountainside.
There is little chance of saving
the Monrovia watershed, and its
burning will result in heavy flood
waters when the winter rains come
it is believed.
Monrovia, Azusa, Sierra Madre
and other foothill cities are being
drained Of their men, as fresh re-
cruits are sent to the emergency
camps established in the canyon and
from there hurried to the fire lines.
.Aeroplanes Used
Forest supervisor r. H. Charlton
Is III direct command or the ire
fighters and is making twice daily
trips by aerop1ane over the area.
More than 10000 acres have already
been burned over, it is estimated.
Definite word from the fire
scene is lacking since all telephone
wires are down and few couriers are
returning. Lieutenant C. p. Kane,
commandant of Ross Field, Arcadia,
is on the ground with a dozen carrier
pigeons. One of the birds returned
last night bearing word that the
fire was entirely out of bounds.
Construction of another huge fire
break as the only means of stemming
the flame tide is underway. 1t is
being extended from Pine mountain
to the head of the Monrovia can
yon, with small hope that it will
prove effective.

the prosecution easier by substitu-
ing admission of guilt for a pos
sibly difficult and uncertain chain
of proof. Here the state was in
possession not only of the essential
substantlating facts, but also of vol
untary confessions on the part of
the defendants. The plea of guilty,
therefore, does not make a special
case in favor OF the defendants.
Discretion of Court
Since both of the eases: that,
namely, of murder and that of kid
mapping for ransom, were of a char
acter which invested the court with
discretion as to the extent of the
punishment, it became his duty un-
der the statute to examine witness
eS as to the aggravation and miti-
cation of the offense. This duty
has been fully met.
by consent of counsel for the
state and for the defendants, the
testimony in the murder case has
been accepted as equally applicable
to the ease Of kidnapping for ran
som. In addition, prima facie ease
was made out for the kidnapping case
as well.
The testimony introduced, both
by the prosecution and the de-
fense, has been as detailed and as
elaborate as though the ease had
been tried before a jury. 1t has
been given the widest publicity and
the public is SO fully familiar with
all its phases that it would serve no
useful purpose to re-state or analyze
the evidence
by pleading guilty, the defend
ants have admitted legal response
bility for their acts; testimony has
satisfied the court that the case is
not one in which it would have been !
possible to set up successfully the
defense of insanity, as insanity is
defined and understood by the es !
tablished law of this state for the

criminal Justice,
