WANTS WARRANT AGAINST
MAN WHO ASSAULTED HIM
Street Car Conductor Alleges Mexican
Struck Him and Dislocated
His Left Shoulder
J. D. Wall, a street car conductor,
appeared at the central police station
yesterday and asked Deputy District
Attorney Alexander for a complaint
against a Mexican who dislocated the
left shoulder of the street cur man as
the result of a dispute over 25 cents
which rolled from the car when the
conductor handed the passenger change
for $1.
According to the story of Wall, the
Mexican boarded the car and tendered
a dollar in payment of fares for him
self and wife. He was handed 90 cents
change, but In some manner a quarter
fell from the hand of the passenger
and rolled Into the street.
The Mexican demanded he be given
another Quarter and when it was re
fused he struck the street car man a
heavy blow on the left shoulder, dis
locating It.
As Wall was unable to give the name
of the assailant a complaint charging
"John Doe, Mexican," with battery
was issued by Alexander and given to
the detectives to serve.

LOS ANGELES HERALD
TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 10, 1909.
FINGER PRINTS
POINT TO CRIME
POLICE CERTAIN ATTEMPT WAS
MADE TO MURDER WOMAN
THROAT CUT BY FIEND AS SHE
LAY ASLEEP
Entrance to Home or Gladys Avenue
Through Window by Use of
Beer Keg Found in
Yard
I
That an attempt was made to mur- I
der Mrs. George Btaehle of 818 Gladys;
avenue by slashing her throat with a|
raaor as she lay asleep In bed with her
12-year-old daughter Elsie Sunday
night is now the conviction of the po-
Uce, and it is believed that the man
who endeavored to commit the cold
blooded murder will soon be a pris
oner at the (ity jail.
The strongest clew to the Identity of
the would-be murderer was found by
Detective Pat Murray yesterday
morning shortly after daylight, when
he discovered finger prints on the win
dow ledge where the woman's assail
ant gained admittance to the house.
The detective took impressions of the
finger prints and it is hoped that from
these it will be possible to locate the
razor fiend.
At first the police were In doubt as
to whether or not Mrs. Staehle at
tempted to commit suicide. When it
was learned that the white handled
razor which was found in the dining
room was not the one owned by her
husband, who is employed at nights at
the MaieJ brewery, and that a beer
keu had been placed near a side win
dow and footprints leading away from
it, It was definitely settled that she
was a victim of a fiend.
Mr-, Ktaohle suffered a three-inch
laceration on her throat. The wind
pipe and a small artery were severed.
Because of these injuries she Is scarce
ly able to speak, and, beyond her first
statement that she was asleep when
she felt the razor cut into her throat,
nothing more has been learned from
her.
According to a statement made by
the daughter to the effect that when
she awoke her mother was on tho
screen porch In the rear of the house,
the detectives believe the wounded
woman sprang from her bed and
made an attempt to follow her as
sailant, but became weak from the
loss of blood and wandered to the
porch and fell.
So far the detectives have not dis
covered any motive for the attack.
The husband of the wounded woman
has been unable to throw any light on
the matter. It Is believed the act was
committed by a negro, many of whom
live in that neighborhood.
Detectives Murray and Beaumont
late yesterday afternoon obtained ad
ditional clews which, with the finger
prints, the razor and another impor
tant discovery, lead to the hope that
the assailant will be arrested soon and
the mystery unraveled.
Mrs. Staehle is at the Westlake hos
pital, and late last night the attend
ants reported she had improved con
siderably and her chances for recov
ery are good.

TELLS DIFFERENT
STORY OF DEATH
MEN HURLED FROM MOTORCAR
IN FRONT OF ANOTHER
CHAUFFEUR DID NOT RETURN TO
SCENE OF ACCIDENT
Coroner Will Hold Inquest Over Man
Killed —Other Victim Unable to
Furnish Clew to Driver
of Machine
That the Carnoß brothers, Juan and
Pedro, were not walking along Hunt
ington drive, Just outside the city
limits, when an automobile Btruck and
killed the former and painfully injured
the latter Sunday nlfiht, but were
thrown from an automobile and struck
by a motorcar following close behind,
wns learned yesterday by Detective -Ben
McCann, who, with Detective Thomas
Zelgler, is searching for the driver of
the auto which struck the men.
It seems the brother* came from
Huntinston Beach to visit relatives who
live outside the city limits. According
to the story first told by Pedro they
were Standing near the edge of the
road counting some money when they
were struck. He was questioned by
Detective McPann and later stated
they engaged an auto to take them to
the home of their relatives and were to
pay 26 cents each for the service. They
had ridden a short distance when the
car turned a curve and they were
thrown from the rear seat to the
ground.
An automobile which was following
dose behind swerved to pass the auto
in which they had been seated, and
Just as they fell to the ground they
were struck by the motorcar.
Pedro, who was only dazed, heard
the reckless driver mutter: "It Is of no
importance; let's get away." The driver
did not stop to Investigate and dashed
away in a cloud of dust.
The driver of the auto In which they
had been ridlnj?, so it seems, did not
miss his passengers at that time, or
evidently fearing he would be Impli
cit.tl never returned to the scene of
the accident, and drove on.
So far the police have but a slight
clew to work on, as Pedro does not
knew the name of the driver he en
gaged to carry them and was unable
to get a good view of the driver of the
auto which struck them.
The body of Juan Carno Is at the
undertaking establishment of John K.
Paul, where the coroner will hold an
inquest today.

INJURED CYCLIST
HALED TO COURT
IS ONE OF NINE FINED FOR
SPEEDING
SEVERELY HURT IN EFFORT TO
ESCAPE OFFICERS
G. Steinemann, on Six.Horsepower
Thor, Strikes Obstruction and
Rolls Over and Over.
Wheel Wrecked
Nine speeders pleaded guilty in Police
Judge Frederickson's court yesterday
and were lined $25 each. The most
severely punished of the lot was Q.

tion was hurled high In the air. He
sustained lacerations on the right leg
and both shoes and the legging on his
right leg were torn off and his motor
cycle was wrecked.

used by the officers. When he saw the
officers following him he put on more
power and turned Into Daly street at a
high rate of speed. They were so in
tent on overtaking him th.it they did
not look at their spedometers, Which

raigned on a. charge of exceeding the
30-mile limit, the penalty for which is
a jail sentence of not less than ten
days In the city jail.
Injured Man Pays Fine

viving hospital, but despite his In
juries was able to appear In police
court yesterday and pay his fine of $25.
