N {and Earl Rogers. unless he were admitted at once to bail he would become incurably insane forthwith or be carried out of Los An- geles County’s new jail a corpse. The millionaire was Colonel fith J. Griffith, formerly Park Com- missioner of Los Angeles, now under sentence of the Superior Court in that city shooting his wife, Christina Griffith, for which offense he has been sentenced to serve two years at San Quentin and pay a fine of $5000. Pend- ing the decision of his appeal, Grif- for r, his attorneys had sued out a writ of habeas corpus before Justice McFarland for the purpose of | getting their client out on bail. Griffith was brought into court by Sheriff W. Vhite of Loos Angeles County. His petition was presented and argued by i ex-Judge J. F. McKinley, John T. Jones It w the Los Angeles District D. Fredericks. s opposed by Attorney, J. After hearing all that | was to be said on each side the court denied the petition and sent Convict GFriffith back to his quarters in the Los Angeles jail. AFFIDAVITS GALORE. Attorney Jones opened the case for the petitioner with the reading of a batch of affidavits from \ well-known Los Angeles physicians. These experts were called at the trial in the attempt of the defense to substantiate a ple& of insanity, but the jury refused to accept their theory. They now deposed that the month passed since the trial had-| produced grave changes for the worse in the condition of the prisoner, that he was rapidly breaking down both phy- sically and mentally, showing signs of acute delusional insanity, and liable if confined further in the jail to become either a maniac or a dead man. This was the burden of all the affida- vits, for they were as much alike as peas in a pod. They were swarn to by Drs. E. M. Griffith, J. H. Crawford, H. G. Brainard, Robert V. Day, E. M. But- ler, Granville MacGowan and F. C. Shurtliff. All had known the prisoner for many years and all were convinced that the only thing that could save his mind and perhaps his life was to get him out of jail and into a sanitarium, where he could have abundant open-air exercise. Besides the affidavits of the doctors Jones read that of A. W. Marsh,’| a detective, who declared that he had been watching Griffith for weeks and believed him to be sinking swiftly into a state of complete collapse. WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE. Jomes rested. This gave District At- torney Fredericks a turn at the affi- | davit business, and he at ohce pro- ceeded to square himself by reading the depositions of Drs. George W. Campbell, E. G. Goodman, J. W. True- worthy and W. W. Hitchcock. They had known Griffith just as long as had their professional brethren, and they were just.as positive in their beliefs. They declared that the prisoner was in prime condition, both mentally and physically, and that neither his life nor his mind would be - endangered by imprisonment in the Los Angeles jail. This belief was fortified by their ac- counts of a visit which all four of the afflants had paid to Griffith in his cell which | | cannot be heard in the Supreme Court | for more than a ye ' lday before yesterday. The prisoner | had been stripped to the buff and the | medical men had gone cver him as if | he had been a prizefighter on the eve of the contest of his life. The only | | unfavorable symptom manifested was | | { Griffith’s own statement that since the | trial he had lost twenty pounds. There- | upon they had weighed him and, find- | | ing that he pulled down the scales to pounds, they duly certified to. the ourt that for a man of 5 feet 6 inches hat weight did not indicate the prox- | imity of digsolution. Finally they de- | clared that he was occupying a sunny jand well ventilated cell, 22x11 feet in its dimensions, in the magnificent jail { which is the pride of all citizens of | Los Angeles. 4 | Sheriff White's affidavit was also read. Griffith is evidently his star ! boarder at the jail. The prisoner, be- | sides tenanting the best cell, is exempt- jed from eating the common fare pro- | vided for the cther jailbirds. The jail | kitchen is at his disposal and he may | have the choicest viands cooked there | by the first chef of the city. As a re- I sult of this style of living, the Sheriff | deposed, Griffith was always cheerful and light-hearted. He made no com- plaints against his confinement. In fact, he had repeatedly thanked White for providing him with such pleasant | surroundings. WRIT DISMISSED. After all these and other affidavits had been read the lawyers talked for an hour. Numerous “points” were made on each side. The petitioner's attorneys, however, based their argu- ment chiefly on the critical illness of their client, while the District Attor- ney argued that the application for bail should have been first presented on | its merits to Judge Smith, who tried | the case at Los Angeles, and that noth- ing. could justify Justice McFarland in interfering except imminent danger to the prisoner’s life. The aged Justice took this view. you had made out a clear case,” he said, deciding the matter off-hand, “I should admit this man to bail, but it does not appear that he is in peril. All the testimony is from experts and it is evenly balanced. The petition is denied and the writ is discharged.” The alleged physical wreck spent sev- eral hours in company with the Sheriff in “doing” the city before his train left in the evening for Los Angeles. He did not manifest any signs of physi- cal or mental weakness, but on the whole seemed to be enjoying life im- mensely. —_————————— “HARRIET'S HONEYMOON” SAID TO BE A VERY FUNNY PLAY Mary Mannering’s New Vehicle, Writ- ten by Leo Ditrichstein, Gives Her Ample Scope to Show Talent. “Harriet's Honeymoon,” the play in which Mary Mannering is to open a two weeks' engagement at the Columbia Theater next Monday evening, is said to be one of the best laughmakers pro- duced this season. It was written by Leo Ditrichstein, author of “Are You a Mason?"” and he has been successful in producing mirth-provoking situa- tions in a consecutive and culminative story. An extra stupid German police in- spector is the chief mover in the fun- making and he mixes things up in a fearful way. Miss Mannering portrays the heroine, a young American woman on her honeymoon trip in the father- land. She is said to be supported by the most excellent company she has ever had and it is understood that her management has provided an elabor- ate and picturesque setting for the three acts in which the comedy is placed. . During Miss Mannering's engage- ment matinees will be given only on Saturday and there will be no Sunday evening performances. — e The overworked Eye, the faded Eve, the red and inflamed Eye, the Eye that needs care, relieved by Murine Eye Remedy.
