THE MATTER. | —— | Determination to Carry On the Pros cution of Welburn and His Two Confidential Agents if They Are Indicted. St { o ? ? bd :r ] [ | | ? ®| In charging the new Federal Grand * Jury yesterday morning United States District Judge de Haven made some re- | marks which caused a sensation in the | courtroom and actually gave an appear- ‘ance of life to the usual midsummer dull- ness in the Appraiser's buflding. It was understood at once that the court | ¢ had requested the new Grand Jury to do | what its predecessors had failed to ac- ‘camphch namely, the indictment of W. H. Dillard and Louis Loupe for their acts | while engaged in the Internal Revenue of- | fice In this city during the administra- { tion of Osca M. Welburn. | | It will be remembered that after the ac- | | quittal of Welburn on the first trial some | of the trial jurors said that they could not | convict Welburn so long as Dillard and | Loupe were allowed to escape. On the second trial recently the jury disagreed | and several of the jurors stated there would not be any difficulty in convicting | all three, but that they did not propose | to make a scapegoat of the disgraced ex- | Collect Addressing the jury yesterday Judge de | | Haven .charged them that it was their | duty to examine into and take the proper | [ | action on all violations of law. He called | their attention particularly to section 3421 | of the Revised Statmtes, under which sec- tion Welourn was tried. The section deals Wwith the crime of ‘‘forging, altering, etc. Jocuments with the intent to defraud thé | Government. After reading the section in full, Judge | de Haven called the particular attention of the jurors to the affairs of the Internal | Revenue Oftice of the First District California. did not go. mirsal of the jury Attorney Coombs in chamb of Further than that the court Immediately upon the dis-| United States District | ited Judge de Haven and had a lengthy confer- - result of the conference w Coombs decided to bring th d Loupe at once before urt M.

Louis Jordan, a homeless boy 10 years of age, will be an inmate of the City Prison until he is sent to some charitable | institution or until those who have aban- doned him are compelled to take - him back. He is a bright, intelligent boy, whose life has not been a bed of roses. Seven years ago he was taken from an asylum at Laundry Farm by Burch of Tuttletown, Tuolumne County. She was then a Mrs. Jordan, and gave him her husband's name. Since his adop- tion he has been compelled to work about the house, and at rare intervals was per- mitted to go to school. A year ago. when | his adopted mother got married to James Burch, a miner, the boy was cast adrift, but a neighbor took him in and treated him kindly. Mrs, Burch, finding that he was being well cared for, took him back. On Monday last the boy was agaln cas drift and_was brought to this city by ry Sophér. a cook. who was on his to Santa Cruz.
