this conspiracy stood forth in all its
hideousness and to say that they were

But the infamy of the act that made
a judge of superior court of this
county the dupe of this conspirator is
an assault upon the integrity of our
judiciary that will last as long as the
waves wash the shores of California.
THAT a judge upon the bench of
California was the victim of this mon
strous hoax is a reason why the press,
the pulpit and the legal machinery of
the state should see that the laws are
upheld and this combination of unholy
conspirators placed beyond the possi-
