Mason of the year arounil HWSainoan
Islands and the reflection of tlu> Ores

HOLDS TRIAL AT
BEDSIDE OF MAN
BEATEN BY THUG
DRAMATIC SCENE IN HOME OF
AGED JEWELER
SICK MAN IDENTIFIES FRANKLIN
AS ASSAILANT
Mother of Prisoner Appears to' Plead
That Drugs Were Cause of
Her Son's Wrong
Doings
a dramatic scone wa« enacted yes
tecday In the home of Jacob i lohen,
the aged Heventh Btreel Jeweler who
was brutally assaulted and robbed
the afternoon of Decomber ". when
Floreti Franklin, the young man
chargi '1 with the ci Ime, was led,
handcuffed to a policeman, to the
bedside of the old man.
"That's him, that's the man who
struck me," hoarsely cried Cohen
[rom his pillow as lio pointed ;> shak
ing and wasted finger at the pale-
Caced prisoner. Franklin shifted un
easily under the old man's accusation
and his eyes roved about the close
little bedroom, packed almost to suf
tocatlon with attorneys, reporters and
pollci . as if seeking an escape from
the unpleasant scene,
Franklin's preliminary examination
on the charge of i"i blng Cohen's
lewelry Btore, In which the Jeweler
brutally beaten t" the floor with
; , i, ad pipe "billy," came up bi ton
Police Judge Williams yesterday
afternoon. Bdcause 'if Cohen's In
ability to leave liis home, court was
held .it the old mail's bedside, where
his deposition was taken. Several
tines 'luring his story the aged Jew
eler was forced to halt and recover
Ills strength, ho weak was he from
the blows received at the robbing of
his store.
In ins testimony Cohen graphically
described Franklins entrance into hM
simp. "He asked for a trunk," sail
Cohen "and I showed him our stock.
There was one behind the safe whtcn
mis hidden from the view or the
Btreel and this \oung man." Indicat
ing Franklin, "asked to be shown
that one. T led him to it. and he
asked me to measure its depth. I did
SO and as I bent over the trunk With
the ruler something seemed tit para
lyse my brain. It seemed to me like
a" shot. 1 dropped to my knees, the
blood streaming into my eyes, and
through it I could distinctly see this
young man bond over and look at
rm> to see what effect his blow had
had on me.
Said "Take It All"
"When ha saw I was not uncon
scious I fell another shock, and this
time cried out to him to take every
thing 1 had. but span my life He
■teemed to strike me down again, and
this time 1 lay still, as though I were
dead, In the hope that he would
leave me alone.
"Through my half-closed eyes I saw
him bend over me again, and this time
he seemed satisfied with his work, for
he left me and began to rifle the store,
\s he left I rose and staggered after
him to the sfreet. 1 don't know what I
said or whom I saw after that."
At the close of his testimony the .old
man fell weakly back on hla pillow,
and turning his face toward that of the
defendant, looked at him lond and
searchlngly, with just a gleam of hat
red In his eves. Whenever Cohen looked
at Franklin he looked terror-stricken,
for the prisoner would move uneasily
and drop his eves toward the floor.
At the conclusion of the testimony of
n number of witnesses, who told the
story of Franklin's capture and subse
quent confession to the police, Police
Judge Williams held Franklin to an
swer to the superior court on a charge
of robbery, and fixed his bonds at
$10,000.
Prisoner Shows Emotion
Mrs Flora Franklin, the defendant's
aged mother, was present at her son's
preliminary examination, and after the
court had adjourned made her way
through the group of policemen who
were around her boy and kissed him.
Franklin exhibited the first mark of
tenderness he had Shown during the
day and patted her lovingly on the
shoulder. ' 1 have braced myself." he
said, "and so must you. Wo are lucky
the Old man did not die."
"He is not a bad boy," said the moth
er as the Iron door shut him from her
vii W. "Drugs were his weakness, and
the day before this happened l had
riven him some medicine that 1 had
procured at the drug store that was
advertised to cure him of his appetite
for other drugs. He took this in I
much greater quantity than he should
have done, and afterward complained of
feeling queer. T am sure that it was
this that made him commit the crime
In a way I blame myself."

NOT FAVORABLE
TO ANNEXATION
EAST HOLLYWOOD RESIDENTS
PREFER TO WAIT
County Can Offer More In Line of
Good Roads Than Los Angeles.
Ultimate Merger Is
Expected
East Hollywood does not seek imme
diate annexation with Los Angeles.
This statement was made last nignt
with considerable emphasis by a num
ber of prominent residents of that dis-
Wet.
"We don't want annexation now,
declared Arthur Letts, who has the
largest estate in the district. "While we '
recognize the fact that annexation is
both desirable and inevitable, we are
against annexation with Los Angeles
at present. We want good roads moro
than anything elso and under the coun
ty administration we will get them
quickly. That is assured."
"The statement in The Herald at
tributed to a resident of Kast Holly
wood, to the effect that the citizens
there.numbered 20 to 1 in favor of an
nexation Is absurd in the extreme,"
gald another large property owner.
"The truth is directly to the contrary.
The citizens there are in about the
same ratio against annexation at pres
ent. Eventually we shall favor it and
then we will coma into the Greater
Los Angeles. We hold the gateway to
(irifflth park, which is destined to be
one of the most beautiful und magnifi
cent public resorts in the world. Wa
have some of the ilnest estates of any
suburb around Los Angeles. At pres
ent all we want is school 00-operation,
We have about every advantage en
joyed by people in Los Angelas, Some
day we will want more water and Lo.s
Angeles will then be in a position 10
furnish it.
"Don't let any one toll you we want
annexation at present. The vote in
Bast Hollywood is overc helmingly
against it. Any statement to the con
trary is not true."
Other citizens of Kast Hollywood con
firmed the statements of the eitlzena
quoted as against immediate annexa
tion.
