HORSEFLESH FOR BEEF
A THRIVINGTNDUSTBY AT LAST
INTEBFEBED WITH
GATTERRER'S COLT SHAMBLES
Meat Inspsctor Hughes Finds Some
Undeniable Evidence of a Vil
lainous Trade
For a long time Meat Inspector Hughes
has been almost certain that horse meat
was being sold as beef by some of the
butchers ln this city, but It was not until
yesterday that he was able to secure posi
tive evidence that certain butchers were
making a practice of such sales. With the
assistance of the detectives, he discovered
the body of a colt that had been killed for
sale at meat stores and which would have
been sold to private consumers had the
discovery not been made.
Ai the meat store of P. Oatterrer at
Buena Vista and Ord streets the body of a
colt was discovered which had been
slaughtered but a few hours before and
which waa about to be dreaaed and of
fered for sale aa beef.
Oatterrer keepe what Is known as the
Arizona market. His place has been under
surveillance for months, the meat inspector
being of the opinion that diseased meat
was sold there, although he had no idea
that horseflesh was disposed of.
Shortly after midnight yesterday Patrol
man Lennon stopped the meat dealer's
wagon not far from his place of business
and asked him what he was doing out at
that hour of the night. He replied that he
had been to Eagle Rock canyon and had
purchased a calf and a cow which he was
taking to his atore. The officer at once re
ported the matter to headquarters, and
Detective Flammer was sent to the place.
He arrived there about the same time as
Officer Talamantes, and both made an ex-

amlnati'on of the place. The two carcasses 1
were examined and Talamantes at once
pronounced the carcass of what was said
to be. a calf to be that of a colt. This Oat
terrer denied and stated that he had pur
chased both animals from a dairyman
named Handorf In Eagle Rock canyon. Not
satisfied with this explanation Detective
Flammer and Patrolman Talamantes took
the dealer to that place, where they learned
that he had purchased both a colt and a
cow which had been slaughtered. They re
turned to this city with the Intention of
placing Oatterrer under arrest, but as
he had not offered the horse meat for sale
they could not do so. With the dead colt
which he had Intended to sell as beef was
a live colt, terribly diseased, which he had
tied In the rear of his butcher shop. This,
It Is supposed, he Intended to kill later.
He had cut oil the dead colt's head and
hoofs and had secreted them In a barrel ln
the rear of his place, where they were
found by the officers.
The beef that he purchased at Eagle
Rock canyon he had Intended to dispose
of elsewhere, and this meat Inspector
Hughes started to look for. He found it
In a slaughter house In the southern part of
the city, where it had been hung up and
was being dressed. The meat was so rot
ten that it was with difficulty that It was
retained on the hooks. He condemned It
as dangerous to health, and poured coal
oil over it to prevent its aale. Then he sent
for the "dead animal contractor" to re
move the carcass of the dead colt ln the
rear of GAtterrrer's place.
Earlier ln the day Hughes and Detec
tive Auble had found ln a house on Sew
High street, a place where another horse
had been slaughtered, but which they were
unable to And. The floor was covered with
blood and pieces of hoofs and mane, but the
carcass was missing. The place was cov
ered with blood and was about as filthy as
one could imagine, but there was nothing
to connect the meat dealer with the place
except the statement that he had roomed
there. It he does room there, the colt was
slaughtered in his sleeping apartments.
In the yard were two other horses, which
had been purchased by him presumably for
slaughter. They were old, worn-out ani
mals, both of which were suffering from
numerous sores. As Oatterrer had offered
none ot the horse meat for sale as beef,
there was nothing for the officers to do but
to release him, but his place will hereafter
be closely watched.
The attention of the detectives was
called to the place by a case which was
reported several weeks ago. A resident of
Pico Heights reported at the detectives' of
fice that his cow had been stolen while
grazing on a vacant lot. The hide of tho
atolen animal had been offered (or sale
at a local soap factory, and the detectives
were notified. They traced the hide to Gat
terrer's shop, but he escaped arreat by
aaying that he had bought the hide from
a Mexican whom he did not know. Since
then the police and detectives have had or
ders to watch him, and his being accosted
by Patrolman Lennon was the result of
this order.
New Club House
A meeting of subscribers to the pro
posed Friday Morning club house was held
yesterday morning, to nominate seven of
the number to act as Incorporators and
directors. The preliminary subscription
has reached $7500, with Indications that the

HOLD-UP ARTISTS
A Couple of Them Arrested Last
Might
Danny McMahon, alias Mike McCarty,
and Jim Patterson were arrested last night
charged with robbery. The arrest of the
first man was made by Patrolman Harvey
Davis, and Patterson waa caught by that
officer and Detective Steele two houra
later. The prisoners are accused of hold
ing up and robbing John Heialer on Febru
ary 24. Heialer and the two men who are
accused of robbing him were ln a saloon
on Wilmington street, near First, on the
night mentioned, and the three left the
place together. Boon afterward Heialer
returned and stated to the barkeeper that
he had been robbed by the two men who
had been In the place with him. He lost
HI to the robbers. Neither ot the two men
had been seen about the place until last
night. They were locked up in separate
cells. Both of them denied their guilt
and stated that they did not know each
other.
BLACKMAN FOUND GUILTY
JUBT STOOD 9 TO 8 FOB CONVIC
TION ON FIRST BALLOT
He Hears the Verdict With Apparent
Indifference—lmpassioned Ora
tory of Opposing Lawyers
At 10:40 last evening In Department one
|W. R. Blackman was found guilty of em
besallng $3443 front the Los Angelea Light
ing company. In the (Jlmly lighted court
room the ex-cashler heard the words which
consign him to a felon's fate, but he took
It with an air of coolness, almost Indlf-
ference, being apparently as unmoved as
anybody In the room.
All day impassioned addresses were made
to the Jury. Mr. Shlnn spoke several hours
during which the defendant was as white
aa the driven snow and aa innocent of get
ting away with the money of the Electric
Lighting company as the babe unborn,
while the bones of Captain Bolton turned
uneasily In their coffin as the lawyer laid
on the blame thick and heavy to him.
When Mr. McComas began the closing
argument for the people the tune changed.
The deputy district attorney's withering
arraignment of Blackman was scorching
to the poor man, who seemed to decrease
In else while, seated beside Ms faithful
wife, whose brow was overcast with a
deep furrow of apprehension and dread,
he listened to the raking over provided for
him ln the McComdslan pyrotechnics of
forensic oratory. Once again the disturbed
bones of the suicided captain resumed thetr
easy position ln the grave as the dulcet
tones of the district attorney gave hlra a
clean bill of health.
However, all things come to an end, and
at 4:50 Mr. McComas had spoken himself
dry. It took Judge Smith nearly 45 min
utes to read his voluminous Instructions,
but at 5:25 the case went Anally to the
jury. They went to dinner, after taking
one ballot, and at 7:10 again returned to
work.
At 9:30 the jury filed Into the court room
and asked Judge Smith for further Instruc
tions on a matter of (act. The judge asked
whether or not the question had anything
to do with the amount of the defalcation,
but without answering this the Jury were
returned to their room. At 11:35 they an
nounced that a verdict had been reached.
After hearing the foreman's verdict and
polling the jury, Judge Smith discharged
them, fixing Monday next at 10 a. m. as
the hour for sentence.
It was later learned that on the first
ballot the jury stood 9 to 3 for conviction,
and the three doubtful ones were soon
convinced. Blackman's attorneys, it Is un
derstood, will make a motion for a new
trial on technical grounds when their cli
ent comes up for sentence.
An Unknown
An unknown man, evidently an Italian,
was brought to the receiving hospital yes
terday afternoon suffering either from
pneumonia or partial paralysis, the police
surgeon being unable to determine which.
He was found In a room at 607 Buena Vista
street, where he had been for several daya
ill. without medical attendance. He was
unable to give his name at the hospital
and no one knew him there.
Protected His Pet
E. K. Rhodes was convicted In the Jus
tice court yesterday of Illegal Interference
with the dog catcher. He had tried to pre
vent the catcher from taking a fine dog
he owns, which ran at large near hie home.
Rhodes pleaded that the much-abused of
ficial was acting with extreme cruelty to
ward his pet, and he remonstrated with
him. He will be sentenced tomorrow.
Too East
A. Hill and Joe Dye were arrested early
yesterday morning for driving a horse at
breakneck speed through the streets and
yelling at the top of their voices. Hill
was charged with faat driving, and Dye
with drunkenness. Hill was fined 380 or
thirty days and $15 or fifteen daya was
Dye's, portion.

Two dairymen were, fined .by Justice
Owens yesterday for selling milk which
was below the standard required by the

ing the same ordinance, will be tried to
morrow.

RADAM'S KS"
210 S. Broadway Lot Angeles, Cal.
AT THE THEATER
LOB ANGELES THEATER.—The acl
vejit of a new aspirant for stellar honors
'in the person of Miss Janet Waldorf, who Is
already fortified by many kind expressions
of admiration from the Interior press, is
an event that demands something more
than a passing notice. Miss Waldorf has
been under the tutelage of Mrs. Ada Dow
Currier, and has been studying hard for
the past three years. Principal among
Mrs. Currier's claims to distinction Is the
fact that she launched Julia Mallowe upon
the stage, as she Is now attempting to bring
Janet Waldorf before the public.
The piece chosen for Miss Waldorf's ap
pearance before a Los Angeles audience
was "Ingomar," a play that has for many
years been a great favorite with budding
tragediennes. Mary Anderson won fame
In the character of Parthenla. Minna Gale,
Eugenia Blair and last, but not least, Ju
lia Marlowe, without mentioning others
less'well known, have essayed It with more
or less success. It is In fact a recognized
test character for a girl aspiring to be
considered as entitled to a position in the
front rank of actresses.
It demands ability, both for comedy and
tragedy, ranging, as it does, from the de
lineation of light-hearted simplicity to the
characterisation of passionate scorn and
culminating ln the exhibition of the devot
ed love of a pure and trusting nature. The
fact that the lines are In blank verse makes
an added demand upon the powers of the
speaker and indicates the extent and
soundness of her training in elocutionary
art.
Otherwise, the play has but few recom
mendations. Its sentiment is exaggerated,
its incidents are absurdly Impossible, Its
language, while here and there pure and
flowing, Is but too often the reflection of a
school of poetic drama of which Byron in
our own tongue Is the best example. "In
gomar" was written by the German Yon
Muench Belltnghausen and was translated
and adapted by Maria Lovell, who Is often
given credit for the authorship.
The first act affords a very poor oppor
tunity for the actress, and it was not sur
prising if Miss Waldorf failed to secure
marked applause for her acting ln It. She
was naturally somewhat constrained and
did not succeed In working up the inartistic
climax of the scene, for which the author
and not the actress is to blame. Her scorn
of Polydor was well rendered, showing
latent powers of Intense emotion, and was
only injured by the artificiality of the
laugh with which she made her exit from
the scene.
The real Interest of the play doe i not be
gin until the wood scene in the second act
and here Miss Waldorf was far ■ more at
ease and began to show in earnest what
she could do. From this point on she man
ifested no weakness and acted with the ap
parent ease and self-possession of a well
trained and experlencd actress, securing
curtain calls at the end of each act and the
evident sympathy of her audience.
Miss Waldorf has personal attractions
which will be of the greatest value to her
in her chosen career. Her figure Is suffic
iently tall and well moulded to make her
assumption of a classic costume not only
perfectly Justifiable, but an artistic de
light to the eye. She wears the trying cos
tume of the Greek girl as If she were na
tive to It and moves about the stage with
a grace and dignity that show but little
traces of the novice. A striking feature of
her acting was the ability shown to assume
a pose that was always artistic without
appearing studied, and this was observable
whether she was prominent ln the scene at
the time or not.
The chief charm of the personation of
Parthenla was its girlish innocence and
frank directness. The fresh touch of
spring appeared to have found visible form
ln the lightness ot her voice and the brtght
nes of her smile. It was only ln the later
scenes, when the passion of love is sup
posed to have been aroused In the breast
of the Greek maiden that the fair actress
showed a lack of warmth. Her response
to the tiery pleadings of Ingomar was but
a weak one and even her determination in
the last scene to follow him out
Into the world was conveyed tn
tones which, while they wire clear

and decided, did not indicate that
they were founded ln the passion of
love after the manner In which it had been
so ably discussed in the earlier scenes.
Miss Waldorf's voice Is musical and
strong, her enunciation sometimes clouded,
but mostly clear and correct, while her
rendering of blank verse Is good enough
to entitle her to a place among the best ac
tresses upon the stage today. Her facial
expression Is mobile and attractive, the
more so because, although she Is pretty and
has large. lustrous eyes, she does not us?
the baby stare so common among women
who are pretty and nothing else.
When Miss Waldorf has been seen ln.fhc
character of Julia, In "The Hunchback,"
which Is the bill for tonight. It will be pos
sible to arrive at a closer estimate of her
powers than can be made after seeing her
but once ln such a part as that of Parthe
nla. In the meantime, however, it Is safe
to assert that an actress has arrived upon
the stage who will ln due time be heard
from.
The oast was greatly helped by Wm.
McVay, whose statuesque, on might al
most say colossal, proportions made him
an Ideal Ingomar, particularly when, in
addition, he was found to be the possessor
of a fine, sonorous voice of the Louis James
order and an ability to use It effectively.
His acting was highly Intelligent, forcible
and effective.
Miss Waldorf will appear as Julia, in
Sheridan Knowles' play of "The Hunch
back," tonight.

BURBANK THEATER.—The bill at this
house was changed last night to "The Fire
Patrol," a melodrama, in which the class of
plays the Elleford company are at home.
This particular piece has an unusual
amount of dangers and hairbreadth es
capes, ln which the stamp mill of a gold
mine and a fire patrol wagon with two real
horses play no small part. Richard Scott
played the part of the hero with success
and easily won the sympathies of his au
dience. He was ably supported by E. J.
Blunkall. Francis Yale was again seen ln
the role of the polished villain who, after
committing some dreadful deed, smokes a
cigarette to show you that he is calm.
James Corrlgan made a very funny part
out of the lieutenant, and W. J. Elleford
made his usual hit as Lushlngton Stagger
act, an actor gone wrong. Jessie Norton
had a part which appeared to suit her, but
her songs were missed. Lillian Elliott was
the persecuted heroine and looked quite
captivating when she appeared ln
a dress suit. The balance of the
cast was well filled and the piece went
with the necessary amount of snap. "The
Fire Patrol" will be continued the balance
of the week with a matinee Saturday.
