FAIR PRISONERS
AWAIT THEIR FATE
TWO YOUNG WOMEN LINGER
- BEHINH BARS
Charged With Theft, They Present
Most Remarkable Cases In
History of Local Pollc*
Department
Two fair prisoners, by far the most
remarkable in the history of the local
police department, are now occupying
cells In the women's ward of the city
jail. '
They are Miss Ninon Goode, aged 19
years, and Mrs. Aimee Melollng, aged
about 25 years, both apparently of re
fined natures, with liberal educations.
Miss Ooode will face a charge of
burglary Tuesday morning In Justice
Austin's court, which will later be fol
lowed by a more serious . complaint of
highway robbery. Mrs. Meloling ha»
already been through one harrowing
experience of an examination in the
court room and will face a similar
chat ge Wednesday morning.
In the meantime, with their ball be
yond their reach, these two women ara
awaiting their trials in charge of the
police matron In the upper tier of cells
or women's department of the city Jail.
The women have been accorded liberal
privileges, but amply make up these
favors by their attention to Jail duties.
'From morning till night both women
spend' their time in the apartments of
ithe matron, sewing Jail linen or engag
ing in other employment. ' They occupy
the same cell. - , ?• ;■
Are Well Behaved
"Both of these women have been
models of good behavior since they hay*
been in my care," said Matron Gilbert.
"They are expert needle women and
have excellent educations. When Mrs.
Melollng is not sewing she is generally
amusing some one with a story. She
is neat and attractive and would be a
jewel In any man's home. She seems
devoted to her husband. Like any other
woman, she cries occasionally, but has
nearly, become accustomed to her sur
roundings and is nearly reconciled to
them.
"The case of Miss Goode is a pitiable
one. She is scarcely more than a child
and seems to feel her. position in a ter
rible degree. She cries frequently, but
like Mrs. Melollng finds solace in needle
work.
"The young woman has had a hard
experience. About two years ago she
came to Los Angeles from her home in
Kansas, in the hope of securing relief
from throat trouble. She had been care
fully reared, but her downfall was sud
den, and, as a result, she ia to face a
charge of burglary and highway rob
bery along with her companion, Eugene
Allen.
"The girl's mother will arrive Mon
day to be with her during her examina
tion, and while Ninon brightened up
when told of her mother's coming sho
later became dejected and told me that
she feared the moment of meeting be
tween herself and her mother would he
a great strain upon her."
An eastern lawyer. Judge Hayden,
will conduct the case for Miss Goodp,
while Attorneys Earl Rogers and Hu
bert Morrow will defend Mrs. Meloling
and her husband, i
BOY IS ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
While Hunting Rifle Is Discharged
and Injures Lad
While out hunting with a friend on
the Boyle Heights hill yesterday after
noon R. Adomson, a 15-year-old boy,
who resides at 640 San Julian street,
was accidentally phot In the mouth by
a 22-caltber rifle, held by Frank Nick
ens, his companion.
.The boys were walking along in the
bushes about fifteen feet apart, when
suddenly the rifle which Nickens was
carrying was discharged. The bullet
hit Adomson in the mouth and ranged
Inward, cutting the roof of the palate
and tearing away the flesh.
Adomson was removed to the re
ceiving hospital, where the police sur
geons probed for the bullet, but were
unable to locate It. It Is thought that
while on the way from the scene of
the accident to the receiving hospital
young Adomson swallowed the lead.
The injury Is not serious.

YOUNG WOMAN MUST FACE SERIOUS CHARGES
MISS NINON GOODE
TOUCH OF REALISM
IN GRAND'S BILL
FEATURE OF PRODUCTION IS
POUI TRY SHOW
Without Chickens, Ducks and Hay.
rick Play Entitled "The Hills
of California" Would
Fall Flat
To put the best features of "The
Hills of California," this week billed
at the Grand, first, mention must be
made of the poultry show and hay rick
In the section act. Without these
touches of realism, that grew in inter
est as the act progressed, there would
be little else to say of this Callfornlan
drama, with its conspicuous non-justl
ficatlon of the title.
But to go back to the poultry: there
were some chickens and ducks and a
bantam rooster. One maternal-looking
hen made the gallery yell by walking
into the footlights; the little bantam,
with a sublime disregard of odds, tack
led the biggest rooster in the bunch
and pursued him to the top of the gen
uine hay rick. In fact, there was about
to be blood-shed on the hay rick, but
for "old Amos" spoiling his own fine
spiel and parting the combatants. The
house yelled and the play stopped; but
the management declined an encore.
In the final farm yard scene the poultry
was suppressed. Poultry is a great
care.
To get to the other features: Frank
Bacon In a piece with a few grains of
sense and continuity might make some
thing of his talent for character work;
as the much-wronged foolish old farmer
of this melodrama, he did the best he
could, which Is saying very little. Jane
Weldman In two other small character
parts deserves credit for also doing the
best she could with her lines. Clair
Sinclair, with a throaty voice and hor
ribly elongated vowels, essayed to mur
der the leading sobbing feminine role,
but unfortunately was not quite able
to kill it.
There is a strong plea for the Salva
tion Army in this play, full as it is of
army uniforms; the gallery howled
long and loudly over this dissertation.
So slight Is the excuse for its introduc
tion, it rather fosters the supposition
that the whole piece is being backed
by the army, that should be In better
business.
However, If the management can at
each performance produce the bantam
and his sworn foe, the huge rooster,
the sporting element and others will
continue to patronize the play as long
as It is in town.
"II Trovatore" In Costume
This Is the last week of Ellery's band
at the Chutes. It will play every night
in the theater at the park, giving spe
cial programs each evening.

part of the evening will be devoted
to a performance of the tower scene
from the fourth act of T'll Trovatore,"

At the Burbank
"Ten Nights In a Barroom" opened a
week's engagement at the Burbank
theater yesterday afternoon to a crowd
ed house.
The drama of drink Is apparently an
old friend with a considerable portion
of the population and, they could not
well overlook it.
It may or may not be considered a
compliment to say, that William Des
mond does not make a very realistic
drunkard. : The others of the cast found
opportunity for the display of some
excellent, talent. Little Fay Bainter
was a charming feature of the per
formance.

BODY WAS HANGING TO TREE
Corpse of Unidentified Man Discov-
ered at Toluca
A telephone message to Coroner
Trout yesterday .afternoon conveyed
the news that the body of a man had
been found .hanging, to a tree about
two miles north of Toluca. It had ap
parently been there for some time, as
It . was in an advanced stage ■ of de
composition.
Deputy Sheriff Fred Weddington was
sent to Toluca and will return this
morning with the body.
There was nothing on the person of
the deceased to prove his identity. It
is supposed 'by people living in the
vicinity that the body is that of a
tramp, who was seen in that neighbor
hood a few weeks ago.
