OS ANGELES, Nov. 2.—On a charge of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill his wife, Colonel Griffith J. Griffith, | capitalist, ciubman, former mem- ber of the Board of Park Commissioners and one of the most generally known men in Southern California, was to-day | held to answer to the Superfor Court, his bail being fixed at $15,000, | This was the result of an all day pre- | | Uminary hearing in Judge Chambers' de- partment of the Police Court, and at its conclusion the court declined to continue in force the bond on which Griffith had | been at liberty, but insisted upon the exe- cution of a new bond. Pending the filing of this bond the defendant was placed in custody of an’ officer and for several hours was as much under arrest as he would have been had he been behind the bars of a jail It had been reported that Mrs. Grif- fith would'not prosecute her husband, and this report was particularly ‘emphasized | when about two weeks ago the two ar- ranged for a property settlement by the terms of which Mrs. Griffith recefved $62,500 cash, but all doubt as to her in- | tentions was removed to-day when she entered the courtroom supported by her sister and in a simple, forcible and direct manner told the story of how her hus- band shot her g¢ the Hotel Arcadia in | SBanta Monica on ‘the night of September 3, shooting out her left eye and causing her to leap from a third-story window to 2 porch below in order to escape another bullet. MRS. GRIFFITH TESTIFIES. The trial attracted an immense crowd to the courtroom, as the case was prose- cuted by District Attorney Fredericks in person and as speclal prosecutors ap- | peared former Governor Henry T. Gage and Isidore B. Dockweiler. The interests of the defendant were Yooked after. by Attorneys Charles Stlent and John D. | Works. | The feature of the examination was the {tesumony of Mrs. Griffith, who for the | first time in public told of the attempt | by her husband to kill her. After the | usual preliminary questions she related how she and her husband had taken a walk upon the beach on the day of the shooting and upon thelr return<to-the Hotel Arcadia began packing their per- sonal effects to return to Los -Angeles. “I was packing a trunk and he was helping me,” she sald, ““wnen he suddenly left the room and returned a moment later | with my prayer-book in one hand and a CIVIC CORRUPTION OF TWO LANDS IS SIMILAR | Professor Landfield Sees Little Dif- “ ference Between Turkish -and | Some American Officials. | Speaking on the Macedonlan question before the Channing Auxillary yésterday afternoon, Professor Jerome B.'Landfield of the University of California said that the Turkish administration in Macedonia was very corrupt, especlally as the offi- | clals sent there were palace favorites giv- |« en their positions that they might have an opportunity to make their fortunes. Professor Landfield said that such a con- | dition of affairs, however, did not differ so materially from the corruption in the | government of some of America’s cities. The acute situation in Macedonia, he | said, had quieted down chiefly because the Christian brigands have had withdrawn from them the moral support of Austria and Russia, whose joint note to the Sul- tan had done much to restore order. That, he said, seemed a satisfactory so- lution of the Macedonian problem. He | was of thé opinion that the just treatment | of the Turkish agriculturists of the pe- | ninsula could only come by the restora- tion of the Turkish administrative au- thority, bad though it be, and by the im- provement of that administration by Eu- ropean diplomatic pressure at Constanti- nople, which could easily - be brought about if the powers would lay aside their self-interest for the good of all. tended for me to pack both articies, but |as he approached me he pointed the re- | on my knees. asking what he meant. | that desired. revolver. | me if T knew walter having been poisoned, and I an-| swered that I knew nothing about it. | ing another shot. ifls quickly as I could, for I feared that I @ 0 revolver in the other.

I got out would be shot again.” At this point Mrs. Griffith broke down and could not recover the command of her voice for a moment. “Do you remember how you went out of the window:' asked Attorney Fred- ericks. “I think T went out backwards, as T struck on my left shoulder. I alighted on the roof about twelve or fourteen feet be- low and broke my shoulder. I picked my- | self up and found that I could not use my left side at all. I used by right hand to| open a_ window and got in lie room di- rectly beneath ours overhead.” “What did you do then?” ! “I rushed to a wash basin and secured | a towel with which te stop the blood, | which was flowing freely. Then I got to| the couch and laid down. | Mrs. Griffith then related how other | pérsons came to her assistance and sent for a physiclan and explained the nature | of the wound. 2 The cross-examination was most vigor- ous, but it failed to shake her story. The | attorneys for the defense disclosed by their questions that they will attempt to prove that Griith was temporarily in-| sane from drink at the time of the shoot- ing. After she had been excused Mrs. Griffith fainted in the corridor of the | courtroom and the services of a physician were required. Other witnesses testified | to having found the wounded woman and what was done with her. When the prose- cution restéd the defense stated that it | had no evidence to introduce and the court then set the bail of the defendant at $15,000 and demanded a new bond as stated.

These are the se- curities that the Reed Crude Oil and the | San Joaquin Company yesterday parted with. OTHER DEALS RUMORED. | While all those that are concerned as principals in the proceedings that led to the sale of millions of shares of Associ-| ated Oil stock ‘are secretive It is said by | the wise ones who are\acquainted with the methods of the Southern Pacific Com- | pany that the transportation company | never contents itself with a minority hold- B ing in any enterprise in which it engages. | | It is also Intimated that other companies | that took the stock of the Associated Oil Company for their properties are in ne- gotiation for the sale of thelr stock hold- | ings to the Southern Pacific Company. How far these negotiations have proceed- ed is not given out. The inference that is cific Company has paved the way for get- ting control of a majority Interest in the Associated Oil Company. % So far as the Southern Pacific Com-| pany is concerped as a transportation | company the significance of the great deal of vesterday dnd what may grow out of it and similar transactions lies’in the| fact that the railroad people are taking | in ofl flelds as they used to get coal| flelds for ihelr own wuse. Ol pro-| duced in Californla has been proven to be a much more economical fuel for Jocomo- tives than coal. A large annual saving | has been effected by both the South- ern Pacific and Santa Fe rallroad peo- ple since they began to use crude petroleum on their engines. The Santa Fe | has acquired large oil land holdings to in- sure itself all the ofl fuel that it may need at the bare cost of production, and to| make this certain pald a large advance over the original cost of lands and wells to own them. The Southern Pacific Com- pany is pursuing the same plan.® THE ASSOCIATED OIL. The Associated Oil Company, through the combination that was effected by it, | became the largest holder of pgoductive | oil lands in California and also the largest | produc Contracts were made:to sup- Ply millions of barrels of oil per annum to power and manufacturing plants, the bulk of the business being in San Fran- cisco. It was supposed popularly that the combination would bring about a higher price for fuel oil. Some compa- nies that expected to share in the ad- vance and that preferred to ’maintain their identity as individual producers re- fused to join with the Associated Oil Company. The price has not been much increased since the’As€ociated Oil Com- pany came into existence. The production that was possible was practically almost unlimited. ‘The local consumption did not by any reans call for the cpening of the greatekt possible number of wells that would produce rich- 1y in either the Kern River or dther Kern County flelds. The amount of 6il thrown upon the market could be easily, increased largely. The knowledge of these facts has been one factor in keeping the mar- ket price of fuel oil down. The Standard Ofl Company, Which is a large consumer of ofl in this State, through its refinery, and also a large sell- er bf oil, saw In the Assoclated Oil Com- pany its strongest competitor for the bus- iness in California. It created a pipe line from Bakersfield that is:icapable of delivering at the Point Richmond works 20,000 barrels of oil daily. By this move it placed itself in a stronger position in the San Francisco market a€‘a seller of the fuel ofl, the cost of transporting oil by pipe line being estimated at not more than eight cents per barrel, while all others whe moved ofl by rail had to pay upward of 30 cents per barrel for trans- portation. This difference played into the hands of the Southern Pacific Company, which naturally wanted to get oil as cheaply as possible and militated against largely increasing earnings on the part of the Associated Oil Company, which ‘clrcumsmnce had the same gpneral bear- ng. DISPATCH GIVES PRICE. A press dispatch from Bakersfleld con- tains the assertion that for its holdings the Reed Crude Oil receives, $1,560,000 and the San Joaquin Ofl Company $840,000. The Bear Flag Company, which was allied with the Associated Ofl Conjpany, parted with its holdings of stock some time ago and the fact was announced( in The Call. It is now reported that the Kern Oil Company has decided to distribute its stock in the Associated Oil Company among its individual stockholders, who will be in a position to db as they please with it. The deal of yesterday was made through the Union Trust Company. —_——————— ‘Wants His Case lewed. Paul E.

The shooting occurred at | that will get me in.” Then he drew his Durking’s home, 11 Fair avenue, and grew out of a long line of family troubles. Feld and his wife have separated and the latter is at present suing for a divorce. The policeman went to the Dirking hause, where his spouse is living at present, and, being refused permission to see his 2-year-old child, caused the tragedy. According to the version of Mrs. Feld, her mother and her brother, the affair was unprovoked. They admit, however, that Dirking was armed with a knife, which was given to him for purposes of self-defense by his young son, but say After the fatal shot had been fired Feld | broke into a room her. He entered with the revoiver in his hand, but replaced it in. his pocket. It is claimed that he attempted to draw the weapon and use it afterward, but the woman prevented him from doing so until the police entered the house and made the arrest. Another revolver figured in the case. It was brought out by the boy for the purpose of protecting his sister. Feld will not make a statement. THREATENS WIFE. Feld was appointed to the police force about five years ago. Three years ago he was brought before the Police Commis- sioners on a serlous charge and soon aft- erwards married Miss Alice Dirking. The life of the couple seems to have been one of unhappiness. Even the patrolman’s mother, with whom both lived for some time, admits that she was required to ask them to seek other shelter. Then they went to the home of Policemar Quarrals at 2538 Geary street, but, §s*before, they could not agree and were asked to move. | A child that was born onme year after their marriage did not seem to bring about felicity and some months ago the two decided to live apart. Mrs. Feld brought a suit for divorce last April. She alleged cruelty and de- sertion. In support of these charges she said that her husband had frequently beaten her and that on a number of oc- casions he had placed a revolver to her head and threatened to blow her brains out. She said her life was one of terror, and that she could endure her husband's society no longer. The wife remained in the country for some months and after her return, in July, resolved to again live with her husband. This union lasted just two weeks, when she was obliged to return-to her parents and on September 20 filed another suit for divorce, the other having been withdrawn. / TROUBLE OVER CHILD. Since that time there has been much trouble over the custody of the baby. The mother kept the child by order of the court and her attorney advised her not to permit the father to'see it. ‘All- mony of $35 a month was awarded her and a payment was due to-day. The po- liceman has made many efforts to see the child. He succeeded about one month ago, but the door has been closed upon him since that time. Last evening he telephoned to his wife and asked about the ckild. She hung up the :regeiver. Half an hour later the family, assembled in the dining-room, heard footsteps in an alleyway alongside of the house and knew that he had come. 5 . Feld's constant threats caused the fam- ily to fear him, and as soon as he reach- ed the rear door and commenced kicking on it, Dirking shouted to the women to run upstairs and take the baby with them. They started through the house and had just reached the bottom of the revolver and fired a shot, which took ef- fect in the old man's left breast, plerced his lung and inflicted a fatal wound, according to the surgeons. Dirking stas- gered back for a moment and Feld stepped outside. Young Dirking, when he heard the threat of the policeman, says he rushed to the kitchen and seized a ! bread knife. Before he could return he heard the shot, but when he reached his father he placed it in his hand. Dirking, armed with the knife, started in pursuit of Feld, who still carried the revolver in his hand. The two ran up the hill for a short distance, but the ex\ ertioy was too much for the wounded man and he started back again, crying “Murder” as he ran. Young Dirking climbed out of a window and went in | quest.of polfce officers. | Feld returned to the house and went directly to the room occupied by his wife. He ‘broke the door in and, with the re- volver in his hand, seized her. The wom- an cried ‘for mercy and Feld placed the weapon in his pocket. Almost immedi- ately he is said to have reached for it agaln, but his wife seized him and strug- gled with him. Then young Dirking took another revolver from the bureau drawer and gave it to his sister for the purpose of defending herself, but at' this juncture Sergeant of.Police Blank jumped through a window and rushed to the room. PLACED UNDER ARREST. { As soon as Feld saw. Blank, his hands being released, he passed his revolver to his wife, remarking, “‘Here comes the po- | lice. Take my gun.” He was placed un- der arrest and the injured man taken to the hospital, where he made a statement, substantiating the statements of the others in the:case. Surgeons pronounced the wound a fatal | one ‘and“the patfent suffered great pain and breathed with difficulty.. He is about 50 years of age and is connected with the American- Insurance Company at 220 San- some street. He is highly respected and | “has always been known as a peaceable | 2 man. Feld is about 28 years of age and has resided recently with, his mother at %3 Larkin street. He has been before the! Police Commissioners three times within five years.” On the . first occasion the| charges were dismissed,’ on the second he ‘was fined $100 and on the third $25. He was locked up in the City Prison and De- | tective Ed Gibson placed in charge of the case. . | —_—————— Examinations for the Mint.

A young Mexican woman named Re- fugio Rostico or Cuca took carbolic acid early yesterday morning in her room at 425 Bush street during a quarrel with her front stairway when the determined hus- band, having returned to the front of the house again, opened the door and confronted them. According, to thelr story he drew a club or an iron bar and commenced beating them through the door. Fourteen-year-old Fritz Dirking, the son, then rushed into the hallway and was also struck.
