DECEMBER 7, !8!H. THE A. R. U. CONSPIRACY CASE. Members of the Local 4. R. U. Receive Their Sentence. The Oratorical Efforts of Counsel Fall to Move the Conrt. The Dtfaodant Johnaon May He Par donao. But Btanwond, Ulana and Boa* Hut Sarva Their Tiraa In Jail. The United Statea diatriot court room wae moderately well tilled yesterday witb raiiroad men and others anxious to witness the fall ol the legal cnrtain on the last scene in the great railroad con spiracy case. , Philip Stanwood, presidentof the local A. R. U., W. H. Clone, secretary ol tho aame organization, Isaac Ross and A. T. Johnson, tbe (our forming tbe board of mediation of tbe A. It. U., were brought betore Judge Ross for sentence.. Some littia delay was occasioned in bringing Johnson into court. United States Attorney Denis explained to the court tbat Dr. Wing had informed him tbat Johnson waa very seriously ill, but a carriage had been sent lor bim, nnd as be had received a letter from Johnson himself, wherein he said he didnot wish to be made a party to any appeal, but wonld take bis sentence at once, he was anxious he should be present. When Johnaon appeared he seemed to be in pain and took hia seat with tbe other defendants. Counsel for tho defendants then pro ceeded witb arguments on a motion in arrest of judgment and a motion for a new trial, on tbe ground that the ver dict was contrary to the evidenoe and tbe law, and also that Judge Ross, in charging the jnry, erred and misdirected the jury on points of law. Gsorge W. Holtoo based bis argamsnt mainly on a recent decision oi Justice Harlan, who, when sitting in the oourt of appeala, denned with great preoiseness what constitute* a conspiracy. Accord ing to his rnling, either threats, foroe. persecution or intimidation are neces sary to prove conspiracy, and in the caso at bar, counsel maintained, all these elements of essentiality were conspicu ous by their absence. W. T. Williams followed on the point of tbis direction to tbe jury by the court in Its charge. While conceding that a federal judge had power to exDress his opinion on ths evidence to the jury, and in this being distinguished from the state courts, counsel contended tbat the jury in tbe present case were substan tially told tbat there was no evidence for the defendants, and to that he took ex ceptions. He maintained that defend ants bave a right to avail themselves of all evidence, and if tbat furnished by tbe people can be interpreted ior their benefit, then it is their right that tbe presumption of their innocence receive such support. Tbis, Mr. Williams claimed, ia a rnling of law, and yet the conrt in charging the jury bas emphatically stated that "no evi dence waa given by the defendants." Again, wben tbe jnry failed to agree and further instructions were given, the court advised the jury that "as reason able and sensible men tbey mutt make the evidence the baeis of tbeir verdict," and this after having impressed on tbe jury tbat no evidence bad been given by the defendants, Mr. Williams pro ceeded to argue tbat while tbere might be no conflict in tbe evidance for tbe government tbs criminal intent, if tbere was any, was fit subject for the jury. On this point tbe oourt oould not in struct, for whether tbe defendants acted with guilty intent waß the fundamental proposition, and was for the jury alone to consider. Before tsking a recess until 1:30 tbe conrt, in passing sentence on the defend ant Johnson, stated that he did not wish to disgrace him by sending bim to the state orison; be appreciated the fact that he had ac ed during a time of great excitement. Taking tbis into consider ation he ordered that defendant pay $1 fine and be imprisoned in tbe connty jail for 18 months. Qen. Johnstone Jonos, upon the re convening of oourt in the afternoon, be gan his argument by claiming that un der the law three things were necessary in order to prove the defendants guilty: First, that they bad combined together in a confederation to do an unlawful act; tbat wonld be conspiracy. Second, in furtherance of the conspiracy, tbe committing of tne overt act in obstruct* iug the United Statea mail; and third, that the jury had not only to liud that defendants bad retarded the mailß, but that they did so with the intent as al leged in tbe indictment. Counsel pro ceeded to argne along these lines and claimed tbat not a scintilla of evidence waa adduced which indicated tbat the defendanta conspired or did anything unlawful. He claimed that the statute hae no reference lo acts, lawful in them aelvea, by which temporary stoppage of tbe mails may have resulted. Every fact sustained by the evidence of tbe people migh be conceded and still the defendants stand innocent before the law of wrongdoing. The resolution of the local A. R. 17., couosel contended, showed conclusively the purpose of de fendants, and the verdict wae contrary to the evidence and also the law as laid down by the oourt. At the conclusion of the argument tbe court stated that be waß satisfied no error of law had been made, and tbat the verdict bad boen returned on tbe evidence, whiob was amply sufficient, a id, therefore, the motion in arreet of judgment bad been overruled and motion for a new trial denied. The court wae about to pees sentenoe when Mr..Williams asked the indulgence of tbe conrt while he spoke in mitigation of sentence. He first pointed out that the defend ants were all men of family and poor. Tbe railroad strike that had set the whole world wondering had in its es sence nothing criminal, it waß in reality a revolution and rose almost to the dig nity of the attempt to overthrow tbe government itself. If it bad dove so it would uot, urged counsel, bave been tbe first time in this country's history. Morally the defendants were no goiltier tban millions of otber men throughout the United States, wbo directly or indi rectly had acted witb tbem. The court, upon Mr. Williams con cluding his address, stated tbat while he personally sympathised witb tbe de fendants, aud particularly tbeir families, he bad a duty to perform and he would not shrink from it then or ever. Every one wbo violates tbe law must be made to know be will assuiedly be punished. "The offense," aaid Judge Rosa, "is grave—extremely grave, and if tbe de fendants belonged to the criminal olaaa I should send them to the penitentiary. It ia ordered they eaoh he imprisoned in the county jail for 18 montha and each pay the fine of $1." Jndge Koae intimated that if a recom mendation waa made to bim, i up ported by a medical certificate, allowing tbat the defendant Johnaon waa serionaly 111, he would willingly satin a petition for bia pardon, aa lie had no wiah that his health ebould Buffer. SENATOR DENISON TALKS. Qa Codt«»«i Concerning; Matters at tha State Capital* State Senator Xli Denison of Oakland, accompanied by bia daughter. Miss L. Deniaon, ia atopping at the Nadeau. "I come to l.os Angelea every Decem ber," aaid Mr. Deniaon, "end lam sur prised to observe the improvements and new buildings which bave been erected Bince I was here a year ago. Lob Angelea hae the reputation of being the best city on .the coast today, and I guess it well deserves the name." Speaking on legislative matters, Mr. Denison said tbat at tbe next session of the legislature a successor to Senator Stanford, for Ihe unexpired two yeara, will be elected. tie eaid that there ia no question but that George C. Perkina will be elected. He has fulfilled every expectation of bia conatituency, tbo speaker explained, and for tbat reason should be returned to the senate to fill the remaining two years of the term. "I notice," said the senator, "tbat Governor elect Budd will favor the ap priation of half a million doilara for the state university at Borkeley, to be ex pended for the conetrnction of another hnilding. At the present time this in stitution ie losing money, and I ace no reason why such a tremendous appro priation Bhould be asked for at the prea eent time. "I shall go to Sacramento this year favoring economy, and this bill in par ticular shall receive my negative vote, and if it goes through it will be without my sanction or support. "I suppose," continued the speaker, "that now that tbe section aronnd Po mona will have Senator Simpson to represent it, that the old Los Angeles county division right will be renewed in the legislature. The way of securing new county bills ot tbe next session comes nnder the new state law, out, of oourse, I cannot say now whether the county will be divided or not. "I Bhall also oppose the large appro priations whicb bave been given to state fairs in the paat few years. Here tofore they have secured from the legis lature $40,000 every two yeara, and two years ago $218,000 was appropriated for district fairs. I believe these shows should be self-supporting, and for this reason I am opposed to the atate aealat ing them any further." OILED THE LANDSCAPE. Oil Well Ssapag;,, Carried Onto Figueroa Street by Storm Water. A large delegation of residanta oi Figueroa atreei and neighborhood marched through ths rain to tbe olty hall yeaterday and registered a frigbtfnl kick againat the oil well men in tbe Sec ond atreet district. Figueroa Btreet and the beautiful lawns and yarda whicb align it are cov ered with p • troleuin. It came from tbe Second etreet oil diatriot. The storm water carried it tbere on its surface and then floated out from underneath it and left it there. It is a terrible eight tbe streets and lawns preaent, and the prop erty ownera out there, aristocratic peo ple all of them, don't liko the sight or the smell either. The oil which is spread ont over the district around the junction of Figueroa and Eighteenth streets was the seepage from the wells in the bills near Second street park. Some time ago it was sug gested tn the council that the waste oil would do just what it haa done when the big rains came, but the council saw no method ol preventing the catastro phe then and it was a case of when it didn't rain the matter didn't need at tention -and when it did it couldn't be attended to. Probably the council at ita meeting today will have a tussle witb the matter. The Pratt Meeting. There wae an increase in tbe attend ance upon tba Pratt Bible readings yea terday at the M. E. church on tbe Eaat Side. Mr. Pratt gave a reading on Saved to Serve. He showed tbat mere church attendance was not sufficient. Christians must "go about doing good." The night service showed an increased attendance. Many new faces appeared, anxious to hear the flaming evangelist. He delivered a powerful sermon from the words, No man cared far my eenl. "The mission of the church ia to aave souls. Thia is its distinctive work. The •church is not here to provide amuse ments and pleasures. It must save souls. Concern for others begets con cern." There followed an after meeting in which there waa great interest. Bible reading today at 3 p.m. Mr. Pratt will speak again tonight. Boya Steal Horaea. Sheriff Cline yesterday received word tbat two young boys bad been captured at Ventura, and that they accurately anewer the description oi the persona who stole the horses at the residence ol K. C. Peitezel, 1204 East State atreet, and P. ti. Hoffman at 810 Temple atreet, laet Monday night. An officer will go to Ventura soon to get hie prisoners. Ada Faulkner Worae. It iB stated that the condition of Ada Faulkner, upon whom Mrs. Dr. Smith ie accused of having performed an un lawful operation, haa changed for tbe worse, and that the unfortunate girl ie likely to die.

SUICIDE BY STRANGULATION. The Peculiar Death of an Un known Man. Fonnd Hanging Over a Cypress Hedge Yesterday. Nothing by Which the Dead Man Might Ba Identtflod—Kvldently a La borer or a Sailor Oat of Work. At 3 o'clock yeaterday afternoon the body of a man waa found hanging to the branob. of a tree near M. M. Green's residence, on Vermont avenue, five milea south of the city. The indications were that the man had committed euioide. He had evi dently climbed upon a heavy cypreaa hedge and, tying a rope around hia neck, jazsped off. The rope waa scarcely more tban a cord, and waa tied to a limb of a gum tree. A running bowline knot had been made and tbe cord, pulled tighter by the weight, cut and atrangled the old man to death. The deed, no doubt, was committed yeaterday morning during the rain. The man was evidently a laborer or sailor, and, finding himself witnout food or shelter, ended hia life in a atrange land. He waa apparently 45 or 50 yeara of age, wore chin wbiakera and mustache, tinged with gray, and wore oilskin over alls, pink striped ahirt, dark coat and trousers, and a sailor "sou'wester" hat. The peculiarity of hia dreaa would indi cate that he bad been a seaman. Nothing waa found upon the body that would lead to identification except a steel fob watch chain of fine links, with a horseshoe charm. An empty pocket book and a jack-knife completed the liat of articles upon the body. Tbe remains were removed to tbe un dertaking establishment of Peck, Chase & Co., on South Broadway, where Coro ner Cates will bold an inqueat at 9:30 this morniag.

SHEWARD TT IS AN UNDISPUTED FACT that a person who has "** the cash to pay for an article can always save money in buying. Cash is always better than credit. It is doubly so at the present time in our cloak department. You can save from $2 to $10 in the price of a cloak, provided you have the cash to pay for it. The price is not being cut for the purpose of raising money. We have an entirely differ ent object in view for cutting prices in the cloak depart ment. The price is not being cut on a few cloaks for effect, but on every garment of every kind now on sale in the cloak department. The cut is not a slight one, but is large enough to sell out every garment of every kind in this de partment. The price is cut deep enough to make it an ob ject for those to buy who have thought they could worry through the season with their last season's garment. It is a well-known fact that we carry tbe largest cloak stock in this city. It is also well known that we do business upon a reliable basis. That a reduction advertised is always given as advertised, and that every promise is fulfilled to the letter. Fur capes, shawls, coats, jackets, capes for ladies, misses and children, are all being sold at a big reduc tion from the regular marked price. In every instance the cash must come with the sale. This insures you the lowest price ever made on first-class goods. You cannot only buy cloaks at a big reduction but dress goods as well. You can clothe yourself yourself cheaper today than ever before. We refer solely to the present reduced prices that we are making in the dress goods and cloak departments. Dress goods that have been selling all the way from $1 to $2 a yard now 75 cents. It is the cream of the dress goods stock where the reduction is now being made. There is no lady who wants to buy a dress or a wrap and wants to buy it at the lowest prices going that can afford to pass these two departments without looking. The rain will give a new impetus to business. It will make trade extra good and in the face of all this we are giving the greatest bargains in cloaks and dress goods that have ever been offered. This includes the best stock we have ever carried. One thing you can rely upon and that is the reliability of our statements. HOtBLS AND KESOKTD. Vt'AOTTT HXTH AND BROADWAY.
