'RAILROADED,'SHE SAYS, TO ASYLUM Wife Says Dr. Heron Drugged Her Before Taking Her to Hospital HUSBAND CHARGES BOOZING Woman Released from Patton Appears in Court and Makes Statement Claiming that shs -was first drugged nnd then, while in that state, "rail roaded" to the asylum for the Insane at Patton, Mrs. Amy A. Heron, recently released from that Institution and wife of Dr. C. N. Heron, 338 West Jefferson strict, yesterday created a stir in Judge Rives' court. The occasion was Hi,, hearing of her petition for the re moval of the. decree of lncompetency, Which, after the testimony of two phy slclans had been taken, the court granted. Dr. Hrron emphatically denies his wife's charges. WHAT ITERON SATS "I kept her In the house for yrars," said ho, "and it was necessary to sup ply her constantly with liquor to have any quiet at all. "Finally one of tho neighbors, Miss Helen Clark, came to me and said that if I didn't have her sent some place the neighbors would. I concluded it was time to do something, so I had her examined, it was necessary, I'll admit, to deceive her when we took her out, otherwise she would have raised such a racket as to make an exhibition. "I am not opposed to her being de clared competent, and 1 hope that she is all right aßain." "My husband had me put there for another woiaan," Mrs. Heron testified, "and I was drugged with a 'tonle' be fore I nppeared before the insanity "Could you not be mistaken?" In quired the court. "No, sir. I am positive." NOT OPPOSED Mrs. Heron's petition was not op posed, and though her husband and his attorney were in the room no reply was made to the accusations. The record shows that on January 29 Mrs. Heron was regularly examined before Judge Wilbur and Dra. Brainard and L. 11. Chase, who found her suf fering from delusions believed to have been Induced by alcoholism. "They didn't give me a chance to say anything," explained Mrs. Heron yes terday. - "They asked me If I ever saw the electricity dancing out of the gas Jet." Here she laughed. "And When I started to tell them that since taking that tonic I had had all sorts of queer feelings. They said 'Insane,' and com mitted me before I could complete the sentence. '}i-"'J ,■ ;: TAKES A RIDE ■",.".-< "To get me there the doctor asked me to go out for a ride, and at the same time asked me to take some more of that tonic, which I did. I was first taken to the county hospital, where I was kept for several days. I quit tak ing: the medicine, for I perceived what it was doing to mo. . But I was still under Its Influence when they took me to be examined." Mrs. Heron Is a little woman with silvery gray hair. She told the judge her age was 65. As she continued the story her anger Increased. "I paid the money to set him up in business and to pay for the home," she said. "Some eight years ago he paid a fine here for practicing without a li cense, and since that time he has had Dr. Ellis, with whom he Is associated, 'O. X.' everything." SECRET RELEASE Mrs. Heron's discharge from Patton was secret, according to her story in court. The officers there advised against her letting her husband know of her release, she said, for which rea son she went to the home of her friend, Mrs. G. L. Dennison, 521 Court street. One of Dr. Heron's reasons for wish ing to get rid of her, she said, was her interest in their home, for which she testified she had been offered $19,000. In addition Dr. Heron is said to be the chief stockholder In the "N. C. Heron Eucalyptus Remedies," a corporation. No evidence of alcoholism* was intro duced in court, though Dr. Heron stated outside that she was addicted to the uso of whisky In large quantities. On the stand Mfrs. Heron was asked if she ever hal consumed as much as one gallon of whisky In one day, to which she replied "no." To the query, "Was she accustomed to drinking?" she like wise replied in the negative. ARRESTED IN DETROIT ON DIAMOND THEFT CHARGE R. A. Fisher to Be Brought Back to Los Angeles R. A. Fisher, alias Adam R. Fisher, accused of stealing a $260 diamond ring from the room of a companion, and who is alleged to have embezzled $700 worth of Jewelry which had been given to him to sell on commission, was ar rested in Detroit yesterday morning. Notice of the arrest of Fisher was re ceived at police headquarters yester day, and Deti ctlve Thomas Ziegler will leave Sunday to bring back the pris oner. Fisher was engaged in the business of buying and selling diamonds on commission. Several weeks ago he re ceived various articles of jewelry, of an aggregate value of $700, from dia mond merchants and instructed to sell the goods. After receiving the articles Fisher is alleged to have visited J. G. Flaherty, a former room mate who lives at 1224 Georgia street,- and at tempted to borrow a small sum of mon ey under a pretext that he needed it to buy medicine for his mother, who he said was ill. Flaherty left the room to answer a telephone call, and during his absence Fisher, it is said, took a $260 diamond ring that was on the dresser. He then left the room before Flaherty returned. Although Fisher is charged only with the'larceny of the ring from Flaherty, the prisoner probably will be accused of embezzling the other articles of Jewelry.

Heron and Husband She Says Railroaded Her Into Asylum ■ ' . : /: ■ ■ BOY OPERATOR BURNED IN PICTURE HOUSE FIRE Patrolman's Presence Prevents a Panic When Smoke Be gins to Fill Theater A moving picture film catching flre at the Art theater, 508 South Broadway, yesterday afternoon set flre to the theater, which was crowded at the time, burned the boy operator, Frank Horton, about the face and hands, and might have been the cause of a number of deaths by panic had It not been for the presence of mind of Patrolman Matusklwlz, who was passing when the flames broke out. M~atuskiwlz saw smoke emerging from the operator's box of the amuse ment place, and entering the houso asked the crowd to walk out quietly at the front and rear exits. The damage was estimated by the police at about $1000, although Mrs. G. Mlddlecoff, cashier of the theater, said that It would amount to only about $325. Horton was not seriously Injured. He jumped out of the operator's fireproof box and shut the door before the flames reached other parts of the theater. It was discovered by the police after the flre that Horton had been working at the theater only two weeks and knew nothing about a moving picture ma chine when he began. He said he Is 18 years old. There la a city ordinance which states that all moving picture machine operators must pass an examination and have a license. Horton said he never had passed such an examination and had no license. He said he re ceived $6 a week for his services. Ma chine operators as a rule are paid be tween $25 and $30 a week. .The theater was owned and managed by W. A. Kerr, 306 Clay street. At the time of the flre he was In another part of the city and had left the boy in charge, the police say. The police have learned that a num ber of Los Angeles picture theaters employ unlicensed boys as operators In order to cut down expenses. An In vestigation is being conducted. DROWNS PUP QUARTET, BUT CANINES REVIVE Albert Linde Promises Court to Give Doggies Home Albert Linda of El Monte is con vinced that pups have long leases of life and he was released from custody yesterday morning by Justice Pierce after faithfully promising to "never again" attempt to take the life of his four pupa. M. J. Doran, a humane officer, swore to the complaint against Linde. Wednesday Linde placed the puppy quartet in a sack in which he had previously laid a heavy brick. He then deposited sack, brick and pups in a tub of water and left them for sev eral minutes—while he dug a small grave in a nearby lot. Then Linde took the sack from the water and burled the pups m the lot. A woman who resided near the Linde home was walking through the lot Thursday when she was astonished to hear muffled sounds, the noise seeming to come from directly under her feet. She scraped away the earth and was surprised to uncover the Linde pup pies who were whining for their long delayed afternoon meal. Linde was sitting on his front porch Thursday afternoon when he heard a noise that greatly resembled the whines of his puppies and then he spied his neighbor entering his yard holding the "drowned" pups who cud dled up to her at sight of their master. Llnde's troubles started where theirs had ended. ....... The dupty humane officer heard of the incident and caused Linde's arrest. Since th-3 return of tho pups he has taken a liking to them and Informed Justice Pierce that he Intends keeping them. The court dismissed the case and now Llndo is happy and the pups are happy.

Bris coe. Wanted Here Deputy Sheriff Walter Lips will leave for Rochester, N. V., this morn ing to bring back to this city Walter F. Briscoe, the real estate dealer wented here, charged with obtaining money under false pretenses. Extradition papers were prepared by District Attorney Fredericks yesterday afternoon and given to Deputy Lips, who will secure Governor Gillett's sig nature in Sacramento and will then proceed directly to Rochester where Briscoe is being detained. Briscoe is accused of securing $500 from Walter Taylor by falsely repre senting that he was going to purchase land in Orange county for Mr. Tay lor and others from whom he had secured money. He succeeded in get ting a number of people interested in a land buying syndicate which he formed, and after obtaining their money, they claim, Briscoe did the Arab act by silently packing his goods and stealing away. Mrs. Briscoe accompanied her hus band and his capture is attributed to the wife's fondness for her white an gora cat and spaniel dog. Constable Frank C. Slanker of Pomona was not ified by Sheriff Hammel of a warrant being out for the arrest of Briscoe and on securing their description, the officer learned that a couple having a white cat and spaniel dog, had stayed at the Pomona Tavern the night of June 17, arriving In Pomona in an automobile and registering under the name of Mr. and Mrs. Blake. Saturday morning, June 18, they ex pressed the pets to Rochester, N. V., and then left Pomona. The constable informed Sheriff Hammel arid the lat ter immediately wired the Rochester police. The dog and cat were con signed to F. C, Lord, father of Mrs. Brlgcoe. Rochester officers watched the Lord home and placed Briscoe under arrest when he appeared. It Is believed that the prisoner's wife will accompany him to Los An geles.

A small scratch across one of them greatly mars Its henuty. The damage Is Ineßtlmable. The scratches are low on the windows and the police believe that the work was done by a boy or a man of low stature. COUNCIL TO URGE CITY HALL SALE Finance Committee Adopts Reso lution Which Will Be Sub mitted for Approval SHOWS DANGERS IN DELAYING Report Says Amendment to State Constitution Necessary to Proposed Coalition . Urging the electors of the city to pass the measure providing for the sale of the present city hall site, the finance committee of the council yesterday pre pared a report, which will be presented at the next meeting of the council. The communication lays bare the attitude of the council toward the proposed plan, setting forth its opposition to waiting until such time as an act of a legi.slaturo will make the consolidation of the city and county a fact before building an administrative building, since until that time the city will be forced to pay rental for quarters to house the municipal family outside of the present city hall. It is estimated that the rentals thus paid would more than equal the cost of a suitable build ing. The report goes on to say: THE REPORT Tour committee deilres to ci'l «•* --rlous attention to the city hall mat ter. Following out the Mulford Robinson plans for a "city beauti ful," the last city council purchased the Temple block as a site for the new city hall. In this action they received the support of the chamber of commerce and other civic organ izations. The location of the mu nicipal building may therefore be considered as settled unless the tax payers wish to consider that prop erty as an investment. About the time the city had its plans for the aqueduct under con sideration a charter amendment was framed and adopted by the people prohibiting the council from leas ing, selling or otherwise disposing of the power incident to the aque duct without a two-thirds vote of the people. Through an erroneous woruing of this amendment enough duubt was 1 thrown upon the l-ovpr of ti-e council to dispose of any real estate belonging to the city to olou.l the title of property so train Coriv 1, which was never intended. VOTE ON Jl'IA" 30 The council, therefore, in obedi ence to what it believes to have been the expressed wish of the peo ple, is endeavoring to carry out their intentions, and as a prelimin ary it is asking authority at the election to be held on the 30th in stant to sell the city hall property whenever in its Judgment it may deem necessary. Its purpose, when such authority is granted, is to sell the same when ever an adequate price can be ob tained, possibly this year or next, and then by a tax levy of approxi mately 3 cents on the $100 for the next two or three years, which can be done without in any- way In creasing the taxes which the people have heretofore paid, produce enough funds to erect a flre-proof office building that will be a credit to the city and, as before stated, without any increase in taxation. TWO-THIRDS VOTE The seriousness of the situation is caused by the fact that it requires an affirmative vote of two-thirds of all the votes cast at the election, and not two-thirds of the votes cast upon that proposition, there fore a person voting on other pro posals and not on the question of the city hall site is equivalent to a vote against the measure. Objec tion has been raised that it is de cirable to await the time when a consolidation of the city and county has been completed. This is not a practical suggestion, for the reason that such consolidation cannot take place under our present state con stitution. It is probable that should we wait until the necessary amendment is made, the rentals of the city for quarters outside the present city hall, which are already large, would more than equal the entire cost of the new city hall. The situation therefore sums up as follows: A site has been pur chased for the new city hall, and the remainder of the payments must be met. The only way the construction can be carried out without a bond issue is by the method proposed or by the levying of taxes for the next seven or eight years for the purpose of accumu lating the funds. Under the circumstances, if this vote is unfavorable, the hands of the council will be tied, and we can see no good reason for the people withholding this authority.

Skinner of Imperial valley was found not guilty by a jury in the United States district court yesterday and on motion of Attorney Holston of the defense Judge Wellborn dismissal the case.
