The arrest was the outgrowth
Of claims brought by Mrs. Ramir-
ez before G. D. Breeze, justice OF
the peace, swho issued the warrant.
1t is alleged that Stewart attempt
ed TO force illicit relations with the
young woman who was in his
office as a patient.
Stewards bond was placed at
$1,000 He had not furnished that
amount last night.
The "chiropraccor's" trail ex-
tends from Needles to Las Vegas,
where he had recently been con-
Quoting a nefarious practice up
on his women patients.
Advices to Sheriff Gay from
Needles indicate that Stewart was
ordered to leave town by a citizens
committee. He has bad debts in
that city totalling well over two
hundred dollars.
Instances we're cited wherein
Stewart had been entangled with
various Harvey house women en-
ployees and at one time had been
severly battered by a railroad man
who learned Of Stewards advances
to the railroader's wife.
1t is believed that the jailed
chiropractors had a criminal rec
ord extending even before the
Needles chapter of his crime ca
reer. Stewart practiced in the
California city according to re-
ports from Needles. He also op-
Grated in Las Vegas without a
license officers declared.
Feeling among the townspeople
was at a high pitch last night, and
while several threats against the
"practicioner" were made, no direct
action was taken.
