Thomas Case
Before Court

The case of the people against l..
j. Thomas of Imperial was being
continued in Judge Finney's supe-
rior court this morning.
4 jury was obtained late yester-
day afternoon and the prosecution
began entering its evidence. Thomas
is charged with c. b. Doolittle and
IL. Bislcn Singh with having con
spired to violate the alien land law
of the state. Singh pleaded guilty
TO the charge yesterday while Doolit
tie is too i'll to attend court at this
time.
The witnesses called thus far
have offered little in the way of
proving the allegation of the com.
plant save to show through their
knowledge of distribution of water
over the land in question the posses
sion of the land by certain parties.
These witnesses include j. w
Poor, II. G. Miles, II. s. Case, Will
liam A. Edgar. In addition a mum
Der of exhibits have been intro
duecd. These are mainly water re
ceipts and orders, showing to whom
the water used on the property was
sold.
The prosecution will seek to show
that Doolittle and Thomas eonspired
with Singh to place Singh in pos
session of the property despite the
state ruling that holds that no alien
Ineligible to become a citizen OF
this country, shall hold possession
Of any property in California. Singh
IS Ineligible to become a citizen.
