HOFFMAN IS SENTENCED ATTEMPTED TO EXTORT HUSH MONEY FROM MAIER MORE WIVES THAN ALLOWABLE Why the Officers Are After William Moar—A Shady Mining Transac tion Results in an Arrest When the case against J. B. Hoffman, argument' on motion for a new trial, was called in Department one yesterday morn ing the defendant's attorneys exhausted every possible ground reached by their mo tion, but It was overruled by Judge Smith. A motion for arrest of sentence was made and argued, but that also was over ruled. The court then asked If defendant could pay a fine, and his attorneys stated that their client was a poor man, his crop? for this season were a failure, and th? crly hope of his raising money to pay a line was by aid of his mother-in-law, who was will ing, provided she had the means at hand. Of this latter fact counsel was not certain. Mr. Williams, representing the prosecu tion, stated that to his mind, perhaps, the prisoner was due some credit for having exposed the possible fact tltat any house in this city was selling diseased m?at, and that he, himself, had been unable to touch meat of any kind since the exposures made In the. Hoffman trial. The court did not con cur In the prosecution's opinion, and lloff man was ordered to stand up for sentence, and asked what. If anything, he had to say for himself. He replied that he was a vet y poor man. and had a wife and three chil dren to support. To this the court replied that he. should have thought of that before he acted. His crime was a most dastardly one, most dangerous to the peace of the community, and evidently made from the lowest motives of cupidity and pusillanim ity. Judge Smith then sentenced Hoffman to pay a tine of $200 or serve 100 days in the county Jail. Motion for stay of execution until 2 o'clock for filing of appeal and to allow defendant a chance to raise the fine was allowed. The charge for which Hoffman was tried and found guilty Is pretty thoroughly known. On March 4th last he attempted to extort money from Simon Maler, the whole sale nnd retail butcher, on threats of arrest of the latter for having sold diseased meat. Maler was too shrewd for Hoffman, and at the same time that the money, $500. was paid over, the culprit was arrested for ex tortion. *• —— CHARGED WITH BIGAMY Fondness for Frequent Marriages Gets William Moar in Trouble A complaint was filed with the district at torney yesterday charging one William Moar with the crime of bigamy. The com plaining! witness is Moar's first wtfe, who alleges that he married her in St. Louis in 1890. Later he left her and came to Los Angeles, where last May he married Mary Louise Crippen under the name of William Myers, and is now living with her on, Wash ington street near the Rosedale cemetery. The last marriage ceremony was performed by a, Mormon minister, who was so dense in his Ignorance as to forget to forward the certificate to the office of the county clerk for registration. The auspices under which the marriage ceremony was performed would indicate that Moar had embraced the Mormon faith, and especially that part of It pertaining to the possession of more than one wife. A warrant was issued from Justice Young's court for his arrest and placed In the hands of Deputy Constable Martin to serve. Up to last evening he had not se ' cured his man, and rumor has it that the bird has flown. The first wife has at least had the satisfaction of depriving her re creant spouse of the felicity of his second marital venture. SHADY MINING TRANSACTION C. W. Hines Arrested for Getting Cash by False Pretenses A complaint was Issued from the district attorney's office some days ago charging C. W. Hines with having obtained money under false pretenses. The complaint was sworn to by Mrs. Jessie M. Scott, who al leged that Hines had buncoed her out of $200 on a mining transaction. He had claimed to have extensive properties In San Bernardino county an.« to own valuable Mining property, in which he persuaded Mrs. Scott to take an Interest. The lady became suspicious of the transaction, and investigation brought out the fact that Hines owned no property whatever. A warrant was issued from the Justice's court at Avalon, Catallna. where Hines has been staying, and Deputy Constable Cline captured his man. Hines is a man of middle age. and is said to have been in the habit of dyeing his whiskers to give himself a youthful appearance. He will have a chance to explain his actions be fore the courts. Minor Cases on Trial In Department six yesterday a decree of foreclosure by default was allowed In the case of M. S. Lee vs. Addle B. Van Sciever et al.

This was supplementary to an execution already granted, and was issued. In Department five, before Judge Shaw, the case of Sanborn vs. the San Gabriel Valley Land and Water company occupied most of the day. A divorce was granted to Mattlo H. James from Alfred James by default. The allegations were cruelty, desertion and non-support. The wife was given cus tody of her three children. Judgment was rendered by default in the case of J. R. Ruddy against W. L. Riley et al., forclosura proceedings. The citation filed In the supreme court In the disbarment proceedings against H. L. and Richard Dunnlgan, by Major Bell, has been dismissed.

The complaint recites that In 1896 the plaintiff bought all the Interests of the defendant LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 24, 1898 In the estate of her husband, and among the property was a list of accounts amount ing to over $400, which was transferred to him as collectible. Afterward ho discov ered that they had been collected and the defendant warranted him the return of the amount, but has never made that war ranty good. He paid $10,000 down for the estate, real and personal, and gave ten notes of $500 each, payable monthly, for the balance of the purchase price, which was $15,000.

The complaint Is signed by Attorney Gen eral Fitzgerald for the state, and Ryan, Adcock & Rymert for the plaintiff, Starr Troublesome Placers Some days ago an injunction was Issued from Department six of the superior court restraining the placer miners In the San Gabriel canyon from using water for placer mining purposes. The Injunction was Is sued at the instance of the San Gabriel Water company, and created quite a stir among the miners in the canyon. The in junction will be fought by them, as It Is only temporary, and they have a chance to argue it before the court. Some of the Mexicans interested in the mines have threatened to make a hot light against any one's attempting to turn off their water, while others, Americans, have submitted quietly to the rulings of the court. Pros pects promise considerable difficulty before the matter Is settled.

NEWS OF THE RAILWAYS The Panama Line Makes Further Rate Reductions The Panama Railway company Is fight ing the clipper ship trade, and Incidentally bringing down 'cross the continent rates In consequence of the reduction of the win? rate from seventy-five to forty-five cents, the Southern Pacific has made the same cut, and now the little railway. In connection with the Pacific Mail Steamship compiny, has made another reduction to thirty-six cents, and the railway company has not been heard from. In addition to the cut in wine, (he Panama line has announced the following changes, to go into effect immediately: Borax, from 40 to 36 cents; canned Salmon, from 42 1 /*. to 36 cents; rags, from 60 to 45 cents; rub ber Junk, from 50 to 45 cents. These rates are per hundredweight, and apply only from San Francisco- to New York According to Adolph Ramlsh, one of the minor owners of the Randsburg ra'lway, the line is doing an excellent business, and Is making money rapidly. The feeling of antagonism against Wells, Fargo's Express company on account of its evasion of paying its war rax stamps Is growing, and while there is no organized boycott of the company, there is a dtsposl toln to do what money order and forward ing business is possible through the postoffice department, rather than give it to a corporation which Is not willing to bear Its proportion of the burden of the war.

There has been a continuous advance during the past two months from 60 cents to the current price of $1 per barrel. "It Is not so much the Increasing demand for crude oil as the alarming decrease in the production which will force the pro ducers of this section to raise the price." said Secretary Strasburg, when asked the reason for the anticipated raise. "This shrinkage amounted to 10,000 barrels In May and each succeeding month shows an addi tional decrease. To Illustrate: On May Ist there were stored above ground in Los An gles 330,000 barrels, and today, in spite of the fact that the pumps have all been work ing steadily, there Is left but 290,000 barrels. Producers are not disconcerted, however. For, so long as oil was plentiful competi tion drove the price below the cost of pro duction, and the anticipated advance will enable them to retrieve their losses. "Another salutary effect of the decrease In output Is the fact that it encourages prospecting In hitherto unworked localities. This feature may be felt already. In fact I am able to state positively that 'wlld cattlng' operations are being commenced on Boyle Heights. The strata which are uncovered there correspond precisely to those whioh prevail In this part of the city, and the anti-cllnats which occur in several places speak well for the future." The oil producers' trustees are Ailing their contracts, notably the Southern Pa cific railroad tank, to which they have de livered 13,000 barrels during the month. They are also furnishing about 6500 barrels per month to San Francisco parties. Their sales for the month have kept pace with the usual trend of business. For the Arst half of the year 1898, ending June 30, the oil producers' trustees received 240.064 barrels of oil. The net balance on hand June 30, allowing for percentage of water, was 96,425 barrels. After deducting every Item of expense, connected with the handling of the business, they have dis bursed among members the sum of $74,706.
