BUCK TO HANG
DECEMBER 6
LOSES FIGHT TO PROVE HIMSELF
INSANE
ATTORNEY CALLS DOCTOR'S AF.
FIDAVIT FALSE
Physicians Who Have Examined Pris.
;.'; oners Since Saturday Say There
>j, Is No Indication That Mind .';
¦ ' ,' r Is Not Sound
>/ Morris Buck, convicted in '. March, 1906,
of murdering ¦ Mrs. ' C. ' A. •; Canfleld. : was
taken before Judge Wilbur yesterday and
the date of his execution set. for Decem
ber '6, between | the g hours of 10 , and 4.
Before the prisoner. was ordered to stand
up and hear his fate there .was a spec
tacular : display . of ; legal pyrotechnics.
Buck was originally sentenced ' by
'Judge Smith to be hanged June 16, 1906,
but his attorney, A. D. Warner, appealed
to the - supreme . court, which - decided
against the defendant last week. In re
sponse to an order from Presiding Judge
Monroe the prisoner was returned ; from
I San Quentin, where he has been confined
since his trial, to have the date for his
execution • fixed. .The . original , sentence
/was still in force, .but the stay granted
. by the supreme court prevented the exe
cution on the date formerly set. . '„-.,
: j When District Attorney Fredericks; who
•: was a trifle late, arrived in court he at
once proceded |to file the affidavits of
half a dozen doctors, who had examined
; Buck at the county jail since Saturday.
.'¦; Disdaining to refer to the affidavits al
ready filed by the defense Fredericks
said: - ,>.,.,
•'I presume your honor wants - ; a little
¦ more information regarding the mental
¦condition of the defendant, and I ceslre
"to Introduce affidavits from several doc
' tors who have examined him at my re
' quest, and also of the man who has had
' charge of the prisoner for more than a
, year at San Quentin.' . ,
'"•r Before the reading had begun Attorney
Warner asked to see the affidavits. \'i
' - "You have no right to see them,", re-
I plied Fredericks, "as jj they are ,'. for ; the
Information •of I the ; court. If 'It 1 will do
>' you any good here are copies of them. „-.
¦ ' Then Warner took * a hand in I the pro
ceedings, • offering : a i lengthy objection to
I the state being allowed .to file affidavits
at this time. . His i objection was over
ruled by Judge Wilbur. -V.-/ ' . •
Many on Affidavit
The first affidavit was signed. by Drs.
J. H. Davlsson, C. B. Nichols, K. Wer
nigk and Joseph Kurtz.
AH of the physicians had examined
Buck at the time of his trial, and«4bey
could find no difference in his mental
condition at this time. The on y differ
ence in htm was that he was In better
health physically than before, due to the
regular habits of his prison life.
Dr George W. Campbell, in a separate
affidavit testified the prisoner had an
swered Questions and submitted to an
hour's rigid examination. Dr. Campbell
had looked In vain for signs of hallucina
tions or delusions. He stated that In his
opinion the prisoner was unqualifiedly
'"other affidavits from Dr. Fred Schurt-
Teff and Dr. Barber were read, both
agreeing the prisoner was fully sane, and
hid conversed with them about his case.
Then came one signed by A. B. Monohan
who for six years has been a guard at
San Quentin and for the past year and
a half has had charge of those Prisoner,
under sentence of death. He has been
in charge of Buck every day since the
latter was taken to the prison, and had
never seen signs of Insanity.
Monohan had never heard of any one
connected with the prlso ner who had
known of his supposed Insanity, and It
had never been reported to the prison
°WW C hen'the district attorney finished At
ton.ey Warner submitted his .Interpreta
tion of the statute, claiming tt did not
mean the court had to be satisfied of the
defendant's Insanity, but If there existed
in the mind of the court the slightest
doubt of the prisoner's sanity the court
must suspend the imposing of sentence
ar,d submit the case to a Jury. He quoted
a decision from the supreme court of
the United States, which reversed the
finding of a Georgia court. Major Me-
Comas laughed.
"You needn't laugh." interjected War
- LOS ANGELES HERALD: TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1907
ner. "It Is a travesty on Justice for the
state to be allowed to file such affidavits
as those. Your honor, no one knows bet
ter than yourself if a man is shamming
insanity. Now, if you will place the de
fendant on the witness stand for half
an hour you will soon be convinced of the
falsity of those affidavits.
"By continuing the case from Saturday
you have established a prlma facie case
of the doubt there Is In the mind of the
court, and to proceed on the lines indi
cated by the zeal of the district attorney
would be a gross error. I am willing to
stake the life of the defendant that the
testimony of Dr. Campbell is not true.
In the name of humanity, of civilization
and of everything that is fair I ask you
to stop this horrible miscarriage of jus
tice and let a Jury decide if this man is
insane."
Present Not the Time
"If I were to appeal In the name of
anything." said the district attorney, "I
might recall the 'scene two years ago
when this prisoner took the life of a
citizen of this county. Life was cheap
then, but how dear is the life of this
man, for two years unhung. He has
been on the witness stand and the jury
found him not only sane, but guilty of
murder.
"His case has been In the supreme
court for over a year and that, too, has
decided against him. But I will not ap
peal along those lines— the matter is one
of law. The time is passed for a jury to
determine either his condition or his
guilt. There is another way which coun
sel may bring the matter before the
proper authorities, but this is neither the
time nor place.
"If your honor would accept the man
datory interpretation of the law which
counsel has given us the delay In the
execution of the death sentence would
become indefinite. Any two doctors could
say'ut the time of the sentence that they
thought this man insane, and if counsel
Is right we should have to submit It to
a Jury every time they said so.
"There is a limit to the rights of a
defendant charged with a crime, and this
court has no right to send this case to a
jury. That is a matter for the warden,
"in vfhose custody the prisoner Is. If this
court thinks the man is insane It can
only refuse to fix the date of his execu
tion and return him to the warden."
Warner replied in rebuttal, renewing
his eloquent appeal to have the prisoner
placed on the witness stand.
"A very few minutes will suffice, your
honor, to find out If he is only feign-.
Ing Insanity. If he has been fooling me
all this time God knows I want to know
it," he concluded.
"Rot!" ejaculated Deputy MoOnmas.
who sat close to where Attorney Warner
was standing.
"It Is not rot!" retorted Warner bit
terly, but the court suppressed them.
In deciding to fix the date of the exe
cution Judge Wilbur said he did not
agree with the remarks of counsel that
any doubt existed in the mind of the
court when an adjournment was ordered
on Saturday, for the court could have no
opinion until both sides of the controvesy
had been heard.
In low tones he pronounced the death
sentence anew, the prisoner shrinking
and trembling perceptibly under the sting
of the fatal words.
DENTISTS BUNGLE TOOTH
PULLING; PAY $100 DAMAGES
Mrs. Gertrude S. Partos Gets Balm for
Bad Job Done by Yale Com.
pany— Was Laid Up
Six Weeks
Mrs. Gertrude S. Partos, who, with her
husband, Paul Partos, sued the Yale den
tists for $299 in Justice Selph's court, was
awarded a Judgment of $100 and a doctor's
bill of 147.50 yesterday.
In the trial of the case Mrs. Partos tes
tified that May IB she had a toothache.
She went to the defendants' offices and
J. A. Foster, the proprietor, assigned two
assistants to extract the aching molar.
Through their negligence and Inexperi
ence, the plaintiff charged, they broke
off the crown of the tooth and she was
forced to secure the services of an expert
dentist and a doctor beforo she got re
lief.
It was further alleged that the plaintiff
was thrown Into convulsions and nervous
chills by the pain of the broken tooth
and was prevented from attending to her
household duties for more than six weeks.
On the stand Foster admitted he was
not licensed to practice in this state,
but both of his assistants were regular
practitioners.
HEALTH EMPLOYES
FIGHT FOR PLACES
WIRE PULLING IN PROGRESS
LAST NIGHT
Dropping of Ten Men, as Proposed by
Council Today, Will Make
Serious Inroads in the
Department
Most of the Inspectors of the Los An
geles Health department held a confer
ence last night at the city hall, ostensi
bly to arrange for a little spread for
Health Officer L. M. Powers, but it is
stated other question were discussed.
Dr. Powers was not present, but As
sistant Health Officer Harris Garcelon
spent a little while at the meeting, ar
riving there late.
The city council will today make a
number of decapitations In the depart
ment, the salary schedule having been
laid over from yesterday's meeting. Last
night's conference discussed this pending
legislation.
The program calls for dropping one
clerk, three milk inspectors, two sanitary
inspectors, one garbage inspector, one,
quarantine inspector, one restaurant in
spector and one lodging house inspector.
Wire Pulling Extraordinary
The greatest wire pulling in the history
of the department was done last night,
and will be done today, to save the posi
tions of some of the men who are
marked.
To the non-partisan councilmen it Is
declared to be purely a question of dol
lars and cents and keeping within the
appropriation.
To the Republicans an element of poll
tics enters because some of the Jobs were
created for certain men, and these,
through the rocky road via the civil serv
ice commission, failed to land; hence the
tenure of the officeholders can be ter
minated without any heart throbs among
some councilmen.
Dr. Powers and the health board have
made a hard campaign for pure milk. By
cutting the force,' as is contemplated, the
inspection of dairies outside of the city
limits, where most of the trouble arises,
will be materially reduced.
Fight Over Clerkship
There will be a hard struggle over the
position of clerk and secretary.
The health board recently created the
place of secretary in order to put H. M.
Love in the place and equalize the detail
work of the office between William H.
McGlll and Henry Slef. Slef followed
McGill as acting secretary of the board,
and Love displace bdth as a compromise
measure. Now it is said Slef must go,
though Councilman .Clampitt wants him
retained. It will throw much work on the
two who remain, as the office activities
have greatly increased.
Love's friends say he has practically
offered to step down and out If It will
bring harmony in the office, but certain
councilmen Insist on Love's retention.
Councilman Wallace stated in the open
meeting yesterday that two men could
do the work of the office, as Dr. Powers
has so stated to him.
Schwecjel and Wright Stick
Restaurant Inspectors Nicholas Schwe
gel and Harry Wright, whose arduous
work has won them praise from the ad
ministration, and from business men gen
erally, will be retained. The third in
spector, Arthur Kooch, will have to go,
it is stated. Kooch has extensive mining
intorests and will suffer no financial sac
rifice.
There are seven sanitary inspectors and
nine wards, hence the reduction will re
sult In doubling of wards with neces
sarily fewer inspections.
Garbage .inspector Nick Harris, it is
understood, will go back to his old place
on the police department, if he is dropped.
Lodging House Inspector Thomas A.
West will probably ask for reinstatement
pn the eligible list of the civil service if
he is abolished. West's friends claim
that he has brought $6000 annually in ex
tra taxes into the city by uncovering
many new lodging houses of which the
collector's office had no knowledge.
I.oat and Found
Lost, between 9:30 p. m. yesterday and
noon today, a bilious attack, with nausea
and sick headache. This loss was oc
casioned by finding at DEAN'S DRUG
CO., a box of Dr. King's New Life Pills,
guaranteed for biliousness, malaria and
Jaundice, 26c ' ¦
WIFE BEATER IS GIVEN
BIXTY.DAY SENTENCE
With her face beaten and bruised the
wife of Gregorio Nava made a pitiful
spectacle as the appeared In police court
yesterday to accuse her husband of bat
tery. No trace of shame or feeling
softened the face of the husband as he
sat in court and looked indifferently at
his wife.
Nava did not deny the charges. Ha
teemed simply Indifferent. The man has
been living at 310 Alameda street, where
the offense occurred. Nava was given
sixty days In Jail for his Inhuman treat
ment of his wife.
HARRIS & FRANK OCCUPY
SPECIALLY BUILT STORE
Clothing Sellers Own New Home.
Deal Directly with Manufacturers.
Methods Have Gained Them
Enviable Reputation
N6 opening was ever held in this city
where the proprietors could look back
over fifty years of successful merchan
dising except the one that took place
'yesterday— that of Harris & Frank at
their new store, 137-137-141 South Spring
street. This is the oldest retail firm in
Los Angeles, and it Is unnecessary to
state they are known personally by every
old timer and most of the late comers.
The business is now In the hands of a
second generation, but the same policy
outlined and adhered to in the early
days of honest, square dealing is still
the watchword of this firm.
Notwithstanding .the circus parade
the proprietors welcomed thousands of
their friends who wished them continued
Buccess In their new home. Many of
their business friends remembered them
with large baskets of cut flowers, and the
front of the store was made more at
tractive with them displayed on the
showcases.
The firm owns the building, and. it will
be their permanent home for the future.
It was designed by Mr. Harris and was
built strictly for their line of business.
The building is a four-story structure,
with basement, 80x150, and has a cutoff
on each side Ir the back to give light.
The fixtures are all new and the finish
ing Is In mahogany.
The firm carries one of the largest
stocks this side of Chicago and Is now
prepared to fit out a man, boy or child
from head to foot. They have added a
complete shoe department where cus
tomers can buy from stock or have their
footgear made to order. Also a shirt de
partment, where you can have your shirts
made to measure. In fact, there has
been nothing omitted to make their new
home complete in every detail.
The second floor is devoted exclusively
to boys' and children's garments, and Is
fitted up with every convenience. The
passageways :.re all handsomely carpeted
with finest tapestry brussels. chairs,
couches and seats upholstered in leather
—In fact, it's an ideal place where the
mother can take her children and rest
while she Is fitting them out with
clothes. On this floor is the telephone
exchange, which connects with all parts
of the building.
The third fio6r is occupied zy the men's
clothing with separate rooms for dress
suits, overcoats, suits, uniforms and
leather goods. In the rear of this room
is their own tailor shop, and every suit
sold Is properly pressed and altered if
necessary before it leaves the house.
The fourth floor Is used as a store room,
where unbroken packages are kept until
needed on the counters.
The success of this firm is an object
lesson that any young man might take
for an example to follow. .It shows what
straightforward methods, honesty and in
tegrity will do. It's the only safe and
happy road to success, and Messrs. Har
ris & Frank are justly proud that they
are able to give to Los Angeles a store
that every citizen may point to with
pride. Their formal opening will take
place a little later, at which time they
will probably have something out of the
ordinary to tell their friends.
Everything this firm sells is made ex
pressly for them. They do not buy
through a jobber, but go direct to the
manufacturer: therefore what they have
in stock Is of the best for the price that
can be had. They do not deal in cheap
stuff of any kind. It's all high grade
and tnat is one of the secrets of their
splendid aucceaa.
Handsomely Furnished
DEBATE NEWEST
SIGN ORDINANCE
COUNCILMEN PREFER TO DIGEST
SECTIONS FIRST
Father of Bill Declares It Treats Sign
Men and Merchants Fairly and
Meets Mayor's Objec.
tlons Fully
Councilman Dromgold's new sign or
dinance was presented to the city council
yesterday to take the place of the one
which Mayor Harper vetoed.
The new measure, it is claimed, does
rot work unfairly toward electric signs,
though Mayor Harper charged that the
other ordinance did discriminate.
It appears certain electric £ign men
want to introduce a folding metal sign
which can be folded against the buildings
by day and extended out over the side
walk when illuminated at night.
Mr. Dromgold explained that if folding
signs were permitted merchants would
have a right to construct day eigns and
fold them back at night, then the streets
would be a mass of signs in Los Angelr.s
as they are in some cities. There could
be no discrimination legally.
The new sections, known as Noe. c and
3, are:
Section 2— lt shall be unlawful for
any person, firm or corporation to
erect or maintain any sign placed
horizontally on any building above
the flrßt etory thereof in such manner
that such eign shall extend below the
lintel or above the sill of any window
in such building, or in euch manner
that 6uch sign ehall project more that*
two feet into any street, alley or
other public place from the line of
the property upon which such building
Is situated.
Section 3— lt ehall be unlawful for
any person, firm or corporation to
erect or maintain any sign placed on
the first 6tory of any building or ver
tically on any building above the first
story thereof, or between any windowo
in such manner that euch sign ehall
project more than twelve Inches into
the street, alley or other public place
from the line of the property on which
said building Is located, or in euch
manner that the same shall extend
across or in front of any window.
Councilman Lyon and the Republicans
objected to hasty action, and thu city
clerk was ordered to have copies of the
bill prepared and cent to each council
man for action next week.
TRICKS AND STUNTS OF
CIRCUS ON EXHIBITION
PARADE ACTS AS COCKTAIL TO
SHOW
Small Boy Longs for a Score of Eyes
and Grown-ups Second the
Wish at Ring,
ling's
Ringllng's circus opened its wonders to
a delighted city yesterday afternoon at
Pragcr's park. To say that the show Is
a success is to put the truth in a bald,
bromidlc and unsympathetic way. It is
the biggest kind of a circus success.
Every act showed new wonders, and
even the old favorites had new feats that.
made their familiar ones of bygone years
seem like child's play. Foremost on the
program, and worthy of all of the promi
nence that might be given it, was the
head-walking of Alexander Patty. With
his brother he completed an amazing ex
hibition of head-balancing, during which
one man stood on his head upon the
other's cranium, and, thus balanced, each
played a violin, ate a full meal, and final
ly drank a big "schooner" of liquor.
Is it easy to drink upside down? Try
it. It was after this performance that
one .of the Pattys, balancing himself on
his head upon an elevated platform,
Jumped his head along the level, three
feet at a- time, and then bounced down a
flight of steps without losing his balance.
The band was playing its loudest at the
time, and yet, abovo the din of the music,
could be heard the thud of that head at
every jump. And still there was no am
bulance call for a fractured skull.
Of trapeze work, the long loved kind,
where the swings are crowded with peo
ple and the air filled with somersaulting
acrobats, there was infinite variety, and
the white garbed men and women soared
gracefully through the wide area between
the bars as if gravitation had been elim
inated wholly from consideration, and,
yes, really, Just as they had been pic
tured doing on the big sixteen-sheet bill
boards.
Twelve in Two Companies
The Kaufmann troupe of, bicycle riders
came on with the Kaufman sisters,
twelve in the two companies, and, in ex
act unison, went through a series of in
comparable evolutions on the two stages,
never making i> single slip to spoil dupli
cation. Then there was a company of
tight wire walkers who rode bicycles
across the slender thread, first a wheel
without tires and finally a regularly
equipped bicycle, balanced on the wire on
only the rear tire.
When it comes to animal acts it seems
as if the Ringlings had monopolized all
of the best ones. There are fifteen
trained elephants which fill three rings
simultaneously and go through a long
line of new stunts with an ease and speed
which is seemingly incomprehensible in
the bulky beasts. Not once did an ani
mal have to be coaxed; not once did one
fail in his endeavors. There is a horse
that cornea on fully dressed, even to
boots, disrobes and then gets into bed
and pulls the bedspreads over himself.
Another finds seeming enjoyment in lying
cuddled upon the narrow ridge of Its
backbone, and takes keen delight in kick
ing a great ball into the grandstand,
seventy-five feet away.
As early as 7:30 yesterday morning the
attendants of the circus were busy sad
dling elephants, camels and horses, in
preparation for the parade. A motley
sight It was, the hundreds of animals
which «were to take part in the parade
screaming, roaring, neighing and bellow
ing.
Spectacle on Time
Sharply at 9:30 the great caravan of
costumed men and plumed animals be
began winding its way from Prager park
toward the business districts of the city,
so that the parade would take place at
the exact hour of 10, as was scheduled.
By the time the parade had reached
Twelfth and Main streets, where a large
crowd had been waiting patiently for an
hour or more, the blaring bands began
their variegated music of national airs,
rag time, Turkish dance music and all
sorts of catchy circus strains, while in
the rear" of the procession the calliope
screamed merrily.
First came the costumed riders and
floats of pretty girls. Then a caged wag
on or two, monstrous In size and fres
coed with heavily carved desert or forest
scones. Then came two, three and some
times more, open wagons, with lions,
tigers, panthers and hyenas. Then came,
drawn by two dainty Shetland ponies, a
little wagon with a snake charmer and a
dozen pythons and boa constrictors.
One satisfactory feature of the parade
yesterday morning was the continuous,
unbroken performance. There was no
stretching.
Owing to the trouble and additional ex
pense the circus company has decided to
have no more parades.

WOMEN THRONG ERNEST'S
NEW MILLINERY STORE
Handsome Mirrors and French Room
Add to Attractiveness of Shop That
Contains a Stock Unequaled
on the Cocst
The opening of the Ernest millinery
store yesterday in its new home at 529
South Broadway was a great success,
and Lawrence L. Ernst is more than sat
isfied with the appreciation shown by the
thousands who took occasion to visit the
new store.
Everything In the store is new, from
fixtures to stock. Mr. Ernest haa spared
neither time nor money to make it the
most popular millinery store. The latest
French mirrors and a handsomely fur
nished 'French room are provided where
the rarest imported models are on dis
play. Noticeable and attractive features
are the lack of crowding, splendid light
and the effect of the general arrange
ment of the displays.
The opening exhibition will continue for
the remainder of this week and the
ladles who visit the store will find one
of the grandest displays of the latest and
smartest styles for this fall and winter.
The most exclusive fashion centers of
the east cannot show any later styles
than are now on display here.
An orchestra furnished music during
the afternoon, which added much to the
pleasure of the occasion.
The store Is one of the largest and most
handsomely appointed on the coast. It is
elegantly fitted throughout and appeals
to the refinement and culture of Its pat
rons. Mr. Ernest was congratulated on
all sides and may well feel proud of his
new store and its opening.
