He used women, but 1 wouldn't do that kind of thing. 1 don't like women or girls.” Hickman displayed much interest in the make-up of the party of Los Angeles officials due here today to question him and take him in charge. He said he had heard about District Attorney Asa Keyes and Chief of De- tectives Hegman Cline, who head the party. He seemed apprehensive about facing the officials. Hickman was restless in his cell last night in contrast with the sound sleep he got on the first night after his capture. He slept fitfully until 6 o'clock this morning, when he was given breakfast.

Talked Too Much. “Oh, well, 1 guess they're pretty well wrought up,” he concluded, and turned back to his cot, where his food had hardly been touched. He swung back to the cell door with a jerk as.some one asked if he did not think the people of Los Angeles had a right to be wrought up. Then, not raising his eyes, he turned to the cot again and fastened his eyes on an egg sandwich which lay on the blanket. He kicked the skin of a grapefruit and sat down. When asked if he wanted to send @ message to any one, he replied: “Oh, what's the use? The best thing for me to do is keep my mouth shut. | N And reached for the egg sandwich, | I've he talked tco much already.” Explains About Soap. The report about the soap in his rooms was accounted for by Hick- man by saying that he had one bar abeut half used, which he had been using dally, and that he had several bars which he had picked up at hotels on his recent travels.

Capts. Rellly and Sheetz and Mr. Wahly have been members of the trial board for a number of yenrs. Recently Commissioner Proctor Dougherty | indicated that he was making a study | of the personnel of all special boards | and committees of the municipal gov- ernment with a view to relieving the members who have served more that two years. The Commissioner feels that a change every two years would be in the interest of efficlency and also would benefit the einployes and officials designated to these boards as they give this extra service without | ~ompensation. In a memorandum to Commissioner Dougherty, recommending the re- organization of the trial board, Maj. Hesse said: At the present time the trial board of the Metropolitan Police De- partment consists of an assistant to the corporation counsel as chalrman and two officers of the police force. Obtain Counsel. | “Many members of the department, | against whom charges have been pre- | ferred, obtain counsel to represént | them upon their appearance before the |board, and in thesc instances, tho prosecuting witnesses are possibly placed at a disadvantage because of | the lack of legal advice in the conduct ;ur cases which they have instituted. | “While the assistant to the corpora | tlon counsel, acting as chairman of | the board, is, of course, uuthorized to pass upon legal questions and tho vhich may arrive relative thereto, he | cannot, by reason of the more or less | judicial position in which he acts, give |advice to the prosecuting witnesses, | or o other witnesses whom the prose cution may call relative to the testi- mony which it is desired to submit. | "It belleve that an improvement in the trial board procedure would be effected if the board were to consist of three oMicers of the department with an assistant to the corporation counsel detatied to: | | 1) Advise the members of the | |board in matters of legul procedur: “(2), Represent the Folice Depar ment in proscutions against officers cited before the board, “(3).
