There is ode man who is thorough convinced of this, and he is the marauder who last night attempted to enter hcer house. ) Murphy was awakened from her slumbers last night by a noise at the door. Some one was evidently trying to break in. As robbers bad been reaping a har- vest in that section of town for a week past Mrs. Murphy had provided herself with a large-caliber revolver, built for business and with an eye single to the perforation of the midnight raider. Mrs, Murphy grasped the big_pistol and resolutely went to the door. Flinging it wide open she promptly began a crashing erenade. Boom! boom! came two ‘heavy reports, and to the shrill whistling of quickstep by flving bullets the burglar | Sprinted so fast that he broke all the coast running records.

L.OS ANGELFS, Aug. 13.—Judge Ross in the United States Circuit Court to-day de- cided the suit of the Los Angeles City Water Company agaiust the city in favor of the water company. The spit was commenced by the com- pany to have declared invalid an orain- nca establishing the water rates passed by the Council last February.

It can do this at any moment that it is ready to make the payment, after the amount has been agreed upon or has been otherwise deter- mined, Untll It does so, or offers to do so, 2ll of the covenants and provisions of the contract continue, including that prohibiting the city from establishing lower rates than those charzed at the time of the execution of the contract.

Attorney M. will defend the boys, has public his plans, but says the youngsters will be acauitted. The plea for Frankie Himes and Elmer Martin will undoubtedly be that they dia not actively participate in tw”commission of the crime and that they cannot, on account of their extreme youth, be held responsible for failure to reveal the piot before it had been carried into execution. Elmer Martin's parents declare that their son acted as any boy of his age would have done. On the morning followingsthe commission of the crime he went to his | home in the country and informed his older brother of the plot to poison Himes, saying two doses of the sturf had already been administered and telling of Himes slckness. Attorney Harris says the boy would have revealed the plot sooner had he had the opportunity. . Regarding Frankie Himes, who is only 9 years old, the defense will try to show that he did not realize the wrongfulness of the act his brother was about to com- mit and had been intimidated into se- crecy by Fred. So far as the leader of the plot is con- cerned the only question will be whether or not he was old enough to realize the enormity of his crime. The District At- torney declares that the boy’s own con- duct before and after the deed shows that he fully realized what its awful con- sequences would be. The public prose- cutor says the boy carefully laid secret plans preceding the poisoning and the skillful suppression of material details in his subsequent confession shows matur- ity of intellect sufficient to prove him re- sponsible in the eves of the law, notwith- | standing he has not yet attained the age | of discretion by the cods. The trial will | probably take place about the middle of September. Fred is visited at the jail nearly every day by his relatives. Among thoss who call on him most frequently are Mr. and Mrs. Martin, the parents of Elmer Mar- tin. They Have taken a deep interest mn the lad ever since his arrest and furnish him with food and clothing. Mrs. Mar- tin, who Is a sister of the prisoner’'s dead mother, says Fred is a good boy and that his hatred of his father was due to the latter's mistreatment of him.
