GRAND JURY IS SWORN IN
TO INVESTIGATE CITY OfEICIALS
(Continued from rara Ono)
tlon is made thereto. You afe also
entitled to call upon the judge of
this court for advice, whenever It
seems necessary for you so to do.
It Is desirable that thin jury shall
devote* no more time to tho Investi
gation committed to your charge
than Is necessary to make a' com
plete and exhaustive examination ofv.
tho matters to bo considered. You
are requested to meet each legal
day at leaat during the hours of
from 10 ft. m. to 12 m. and from
2 p. m. until 5 o'clock, unless the
lack of witnesses or other sufficient
causa furnishes a' reason for doing
otherwise. No member of the Jury
must absent himself from the ses
sions unless excused by the court.
The only persons who are entitled
to be present at the examination of
witnesses ore the district attorney
and a competent court reporter to
take down the testimony whenever
the district attorney requires one to
be procured. When the jury Is de
liberating at other times no person
not a member of the Jury Is per
mitted to be present.
Gentlemen, I wish to again re
mind you to be thorough and ex
peditious. To the court It would
seem that, If the necessary wit
nesses are available for examina
tion by you and their attendance
can be procured without delay,
this Investigation should be con
cluded and your report made with
in a period of ten days. You are at
liberty to make a partial report at
any time. If you should have In
dictments or accusations to present.
I quote from the penal code the
following provisions relating to the
proceedings before grand Juries and
to the duties of grand Jurors:
Section 915 —Powers of grand Jury:
The grand Jury must Inquire Into
all public offenses committed or
triable within the county, and
present them to the court either by
presentment or by Indictment.
A Presentment
Section 916—Present ment defined:
A presentment Is an Informal state
ment In writing, by the grand
Jury, representing to the court that
a public offense has been com
mitted which Is triable In the
county, and that there Is reason
able ground for believing that a
particular Individual named or
described therein has committed It.
Section 917—Indictment denned:
An Indictment Is an accusation In
writing, presented by the grand
Jury to a competent court, charg
ing a person with a public offense.
Section 913—Foreman may a<l"
minister oaths: The foreman may
administer an oath to any witness
appearing before the grajnd jury.
Section 919. Evidence receivable
before tho grand jury.
In the Investigation of a charge
for the purpose of either present
ment or Indictment, the grand Jury
can receive no other evidence than
such as is given by witnesses pro
duced and sworn before them, or
furnished by legal documentary evi
dence, or the deposition of a wit
ness In the cases mentioned In the
third subdivision of section 686. The
grand jury can receive none but
legal evidence, and the best evi
dence in degree, to the exclusion
of hearsay or secondary evidence.
Section 920. Grand Jury not bound
to hear evidence for the defendant.
' The grand jury Is not bound to
hear evidence for the defendant;
but It is their duty to weigh all the
evidence submitted to them, and
when they have reason to believe
that other evidence within their
reach will explain away the charge,
they stasuld order such evidence to
be produced, and for that purpose
may require the district attorney to
Issue process for the witnesses.
Degree* of Evidence
Section 921. Degrees of evidence
to warrant Indictment.
The grand Jury ought to find an
Indictment when all the evidence
before them, taken together, if un
explained or uncontradlcted, would,
In their Judgment, warrant a con
viction by a trial Jury.
Section 925. The grand jury may,
at all times, ask the advice of the
court, or the Judge thereof, or of
the district attorney. . . . The
district attorney of the county may
at all times appear before the grand
Jury for the purpose of giving in
formation or advice relative to any
matter cognizable by them, and
may Interrogate witnesses before
them whenever ho thinks 1 it neces
sary. Tho grand jury, on the de
mand of the district 4 attorney,
whenever criminal cases are being 1
investigated before them, must ap
point a competent stenographic re
porter to report th« testimony that
may be given In such causes In
shorthand, and reduce the same af
terward, upon the request of the
said district attorney, to longhand.
No other person other than above
specified is permitted to be present

actually under examination, and no
person must be permitted to be

their opinions, or giving their votes

fendant, and require, by notice in
writing of not less than ten days,
that ho appear before the superior
court of the county at a time men

Oath of foreman and each member ot
the grand Jury:
You will diligently Inquire Into,
and true presentment make, of all
public offenses against the people of
this state, committed or triable
within this county, of which you
shall havo or can obtain legal evi
dence. You will keep your own
counsel and that of your follows
and of the government, and will not,
except when required in the due
course of Judicial proceedings, dis
close the testimony of any witness
examined before you, nor anything
which you or any other grand Juror
may have said, nor the manner in
which you or any other grand Juror
may have voted on any matter be
foro you. You will present no per
son through malice, hatred or ill
will, nor leave any unpresented
through fear, favor or affection, or

hope thereof; but In all your pre
sentments you will present the
truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth, according to the best
of your skill and understanding, so
help you God.
Juror* Must Concur
Before an Indictment or accusa
tion can be returned at least twelve
grand Jurors must concur therein.
Twelve or more jurors present con
stitute a quorum for the transact
ing of business. In determining
questions of procedure before the.
Jury a majority of those present
and constittuting a quorum shall
bo a sufficient vote. In voting up
on a report to be presented to the
Jury a majority of the whole Jury
should concur therein, except when
an Indictment or accusation is
brought in at least twelve Jurors
must concur therein.
I have already reminded you that
you should not discuss matters
brought before you with persons
not members of the Jury. I wish
further to particularly enjoin you
not to discuss matters heard or be
ing heard and upon which final ac
tion has not been taken by the jury,
among yourselves when absent
from the jury room. No part of the
jury must meet together for the
purpose of conferring regarding
such matters outside of the jury
room and no attorney or other per
son Interested must be consulted re
garding any such matters or any i
report which the jury may con
template returning to the court or
have under advisement.
There is only one proper place
for the discussion of such matters
and that is in the jury room in the
presence of the Jury when as
sembled for the transaction of
business. I give you this special
direction not because I believe you
would be inclined to conduct
yourselves otherwise than in ac
cordance with the requirements of
the law in that respect, but as a
matter of precaution, In order that
what may have occurred In the past
may not happen while this Jury Is
t In session. You are to serve the
public Interest only to the end that
a full, fair and Impartial Investiga
tion may be had.
W. P. JAMES, Judge.
Jury Is Organized
Within fifteen minutes after Judge
James concluded the reading of the
Instructions the special grand Jury
had organized In the large witness
room on the third floor of the county
building. Ten minutes later Joseph
Durand, a French associate of Nick
Oswald, handcuffed and accompanied
by two men from Chief Detective
Browne's office, was called as the first
witness. A French Interpreter was
also taken into the grand jury room.
Durand's morning examination last
ed more than an hour and he was re
turned to the county jail, where he ta
held charged with an attempt to de
feat the ends of Justice by avoiding a
subpoena. He returned at 2 o'clock,
after the noon adjournment, but re
mained only twenty minutes, returning
to the Jail.
Durand's face was pale as he left the
secret chamber. A number of his ac
quaintances were in the corridor and
studied him keenly. That he had re
fused to divulge any knowledge that
might lead to an accusation or Indict
ment was the general opinion.
Edwin T. Earl, publisher of the Ex
press, was called Into the jury room
at 2:20 o'clock. He carried a large
package of books and papers. He re
mained with the Jurors two hours, and
again will be called as a witness Mon
day.
District Attorney Fredericks and
Deputies McCormick and Horton fol
lowed Mr. Earl from the room, Mr.
Fredericks returning a few momenta
later, after sending a messenger to Ma
office for a copy of the Indictment later
returned to Judge James. At 4:45 the
whole Jury entered Judge James' court
room.
Halting an argument in a law suit,
Judge James turned to Foreman Fish
burn. "Have you anything to report. 1
he asked.
"The grand jury has found an Indict
ment, your honor," replied the fore
man.
After scanning the paper, Judge
James fixed the bail of the accused
person at $5000 and dismissed the in
vestigators. A warrant was imme
diately prepared and placed in tha
hands of Under Sheriff Dir.hman, with
orders to serve It as quickly as pos
sible, instructions also being given to
withhold the name of the indicted, man
until his arrest was effected.
to restrain* the expenditure by the city
of any money in connection with the
coming election. Judge James, pre
siding Judge, assigned the matter to
Judge Walter Bordwell and the hear
ing was set for 10 o'clock Monday.
Served on City Officials
Orders to show cause why they
should not be restrained from expend
ing any of the city's money on the
recall election were served on the city
clerk, city auditor and members of
the council, named as defendants, and
the city attorney Immediately began
preparations to contest the suit.
No temporary restraining: order was
issued, thus allowing the city officials
to continue the preliminary work In
cident to the election next Friday.
After setting up the plaintiffs quali
fications as a taxpayer to bring the
suit, tho complaint quotes sections
from the city charter claimed to have
a bearing on the matter, and the re
call section Itself, and recounts Har
per's election In December, 1906, and
his resignation March 12. The com
plaint sets out the language used by
the president of the city council in
declaring the appointment of William
D. Stephens, and these words, It is
expected, will form a material part in
the forthcoming proceedings. The
words used by the council's president
were:
"That Mr. William D. Stephens, hay- :
ing received nine votes, 1 hereby de
clare him appointed to (111 the vacancy
now existing In the office of mayor."
Stress Is laid on the fact that no ob- j
Jectlon was made to this declaration, :
and continuing the complaint says:
"If such election Is held the person \
receiving trie highest number of votes
at said election will claim to be the!
regularly and duly elected mayor of i
said city of Los Angeles to succeed A. j
C. Harper, and that there will thereby;
result a conflict In said city as to who
Is the duly elected and qualified mayor ]
of said city and the party entitled by
law to hold said office."
Mentions Aqueduct
The complaint states the fact that
the city is building an expensive ague- !
duct to cost not less than $23,000,000, is I
engaged in building school houses and i
letting Important contracts, which arc ■
required to be signed by the mayor, i
and that, if confusion arises as to who
is the duly elected and qualified mayor,
it will result In great financial loss to'
the taxpayers by reason of the fact
that parties called upon to bid on these
contracts and on the materials there
under will be in doubt as to their legal
ity.
Fear Confusion
If the election is held and In conse
quence thereof a doubt is created as to
who is the legally elected mayor, the
business affairs of the city, says the
complaint, will become confused and
the police force will be In doubt as to
who is the official head, and that the
policing of the city will be Improperly
done.
The same. It is claimed, will be true
of each and every department of the
city, resulting in irreparable Injury to
taxpayers and property holders.
In closing, the petition, asks,' first,
that it bo adjudged that William D.
Stephens is the duly elected, qualified
and acting mayor of Los Angeles, elect
ed by the city council to fill the va
cancy occasioned by the resignation of
A. C. Harper, ending 1 on the first Mon
day In January, 1910.
Second, that Harry J. Lelande, city
clerk, be enjoined from Incurring any
indebtedness, bills or obligations
against the city created on account of
the recall election; and
Third, that W. C. Mushet, city audit
or, be restrained from auditing de
mands for any expenses Incident to the
election.
MERRY MINISTERS
AMONG METHODISTS
Old.Timers of the Cloth Can Enjoy
Good Jokes and Indulge In
Lots of Fun
WASHINGTON, March 19.—"Don't
you think for an instant that we old-
Methodist preachers can't enjoy good
Jokes and indulge In a whole lot of fun
once in a while. You know there Is a
time to laugh and a time to consider
only serloua things," said an old
Washington dominie. And then he told
a story of a christening party that he
had the felicity of attending in the
southeastern section of this city re
cently.
"The child that was to be baptized,"'
said the preacher, "had a long line of
Methodist ancestors on both sides, and
these included several preachers, some
of whom were at the bountiful supper
that followed the naming of the baby,
and several of the elders in the party
told tales of past days that certainly
set the table roaring with laughter.
Some of us had anecdotes to relate of
that old pioneer of Methodism, the
Rev. Peter Cartwright; some concern
ing the preacher himself, and some that
he related In his time. He used to tell
a story of a Dutchman's cross.
"A preacher, as the late Brother
Cartwright told it, was expatiating on
the text, 'Except a man deny himself
and take up the cross he cannot be my
disciple.' In the congregation was a
good-natured but hard-working native
of Holland, accompanied by his frau,
who had the reputation of being tho
worst scold in the neighborhood, and
she led her husband a hard life.
"They both seemed much Interested,
as well as touched, by the sermon, and
after the service, as the preacher was
riding home on horseback, as preach
ers generally did In the backwoods set
tlements in thos* days, and after he
had taken dinner with a member of the
congregation, he saw a little ahead of
him a man trudging along with a
woman on his back. The man wm
rather undersized and the woman
very large and heavy. The preacher
laughed and asked the man If he was
exercising.
11 'Oh. no,' said the little Dutchman,
for he it was. 'You did tell us that we
must take up the cross or we would
not be saved; and this woman Is the
greatest cross I have, so I suppose 1
must carry her or I can't go to heaven.'
"Another of the clerical gentlemen
told a story of a party of preachers
who were traveling in a northern city
Where a church dedication was to be
held. They started at night, so as to
be able \o reach their objective point
early In the morning and get a good
night's rest. It was in midwinter and
Intensely cold, with a very heavy snow
on the ground; and as a furious wind
and another snow hurricane began be
fore the train had proceeded very far
it became blocked in the snow, with
some of the cars off the track.
"The conductor coming through the
train, and mixing up among the rev
erends, not knowing that they were
clergymen, felt Impelled to refer to the
discomforts and perils of the night,
and said: 'I tell you what, gentlemen,
we came very near all going to h—
last night.'
"One of the preachers was quick to
take him up. 'You doubtless speak for
yourself, sir,' he said; 'but as for me
nnd my friends here, we are ticketed
for another station.'
"Talk about jolly boys," said the
clergyman who was relating these
stories, "I never saw a merrier crowd
together than at this christening sup
per. Good, mirth-provoking yarns
were the order of the hour, and every
body, preachers and all. I believe, went
home happier and better because of
this little baptismal symposium."
To Grant Extr.-ditlon
DENVER, March 19.—Governor
Shafroth today announced he would
grant the extradition of W. A. Mulr.
the San Francisco broker charged

ings, however, which must come under
the consideration of the local courts

ruption in the municipal affairs of

OFFICER USES CLUB
TO EFFECT ARREST
Big Offender Puts Up Fight When
Patrolman Tries to Take Him to
HtadquarteVa—Wife Makes
Charge
. G B. Ellsworth, a giaiit Egyptian,
living at 1227 West Pico street, was
arrested last night by Patrolman H. S.
Flckert, after a terrific struggle with
that officer in which the latter was
compelled to beat Ellsworth's head
frightfully before he could subdue him.
Even then all of the fight was not
taken out of Ellsworth, for when tho
patrol wagon, with Officers Hills, Os
terloh and Shriner, arrived, Ellsworth
refused to go to the station, and it was
only after showing him the futility of
his course that he consented to be
A neighbor living near the Ellsworth
home telephoned to police headquarters
that Ellsworth was drunk and beating
his wife, and It was believed he would
kill her.
Patrolman Fickert was sent to the
house and found Ellsworth in a quar
relsome mood. From the appearance
of Mrs. Ellsworth and the continued
actions of her husband after the officer
arrived, Fickert concluded to arrest
him. . ,
Ellsworth refused to be arrested and
attacked the officer, who, after vainly
trying to handle the man otherwise,
drew his club. He was compelled to
strike Ellsworth repeatedly over the
head before he could get the man out
of the house. They fought all over ths
place and Ellsworth was struck no
less than a score of times.
Fickert was scratched and cut on the
head and face and hands, and he also
required surgical attention. Ellsworth
was charged with drunkenness and this
morning his wife Is expected t swear
to a battery complaint against him.
The Theaters
Harry Mestayer of the Burbank stock
company is bewailing the loss of a new
mandolin. In "Arizona," which goes on
at the Burbank next week, Mestayer
plays a Mexican and a mandolin at the
same time. The Mexican was easy,
but the eminent local Ibsenlte has had
some difficulty in attaining that digital
dexterity necessary to a proper manipu
lation of mandolin strings, and his re
hearsals have been both long and ardu
ous. Following his lesson yesterday
afternoon Mr. Mestayer tucked his in
strument under his arm and boarded
a Glendale car for home.
Two blocks this side of his usual cor
ner the actor, chancing to glance out
of the car window, saw a balky horse.
It was a white horse, and Mr. Mestayer
was Interested. He left the car hurried
ly to search out the symbolism in the
incident, and forgot his beloved mal
dolln.
"When next he thought of it the car
as on its way back to town. Harry
at once called up the lost and found
department of the street railway com
pany, only to be informed that the
tracer of lost articles had quit work
for the day. He hopes to find his man
dolin this morning. As for the white
horse— as usual, it seems to have been
merely an evil omen. However, Jt
would spoil 'the problem to explain
fully. By this time the horse has gone,
and so has the mandolin. Mr. Mestayer
has forgotten the animal in regrets for
his lost instrument. The sequel to the
little problem may develop later.
