Ballinger before the Grand Jury, Bal- | linger was bookkeeper for the Califor- |nia Art Glass Works, 133 Second street, and was arrested on a charge of felony embezzlement upon com- ! plaint of William Schroeder, presi- dent of the company. He was held | to answer, but was released on a writ of habeas corpus by Judge Graham. An information had been filed against him on the same day that the writ was applied for and the case was as- signed to Judge Dunne’s court. A,motion to dismiss the information was In due course made before Judge Dunne by Attorneys Barry and Bar- rett for the defendant, but the Judge refused to grant the motion and hint- ed that the proceedings would not bear investigation. Yesterday when the case was again !called Assistant District Attorney ‘Whiting said he had seen the wit- nesses in the case and he was satisfled there was g clear case of embezzle- ment. It was the intention of the District Attorney to prosecute the case and to present it to the Grand Jury. There were other charges on which the defendant could be prose- cuted besides the one in the informa- tion. Whiting asked that the matter stand over for a week. Attorney Barry said no good result {could follow the course proposed by the District Attorney. The discharge of the defendant on a writ was a bar to any further proceedings. “If the facts,” said the Judge, “pre- sented at the preliminary examination are substantiated the offense of em- bezzlement was properly charged. I think the District Attorney’s office should make a thorough inquiry as to whether there had been anything lurking behind the motion for the dis- charge of the defendant and discover upon whom the responsibility- rests. Personally, I'have at no time express- ed an opinion as to the gullt or inno- cence of the defendant.” Barry sald he would enter a formal exception to the language of the court in regard to the defendant and the good faith of himself and Attorney Barrett in making the motion. The i whole matter had been argued in the other court and the writ granted. He objected to any criticism of the action of the other court. | "It seems to me,” sald Judge Dunne, { “that if you are clothed wm% right- eousness you have nothing to fear from an inquiry. The other court can take care of itself.” | __Barry egain vigorously protested. | He denied that there had been any in- tentlon of imposing upon the court. The defendant would stand upon his rights and weuld rely upon the fact that he had been proved innocent of the charge, which fact should entitle him to have his rights protected, The Judge said the “unfortunate thing was that he was not_ satisfied the defendant Wwas looking for his rights. The whole proceedings if thor- oughly analyzed would be a sufficlent answer to all that counsel had said. He would continue the matter for a week. Barry again took exception to the language and manner of the court s.ud’ the Judge curtly sald, “That is all.” 1 ——— . ‘lk F‘?ngwm it agal mc"b:;n-y cle yesterday began sul nst Ofl Company for $1536 alleged to be due for dividends unpaid “on 5000 shares of stook.

A reporter sat in the corridor of the Golden West a few nights ago telking to James V. West, a prominent mining man. Presently another man joined b ] them. The third man, whose name was Hiram E£tollde, was congratulated by West upon the recent remarkable suc- cess of his great mine—the King Limit— in Nevada. “Yes," said Stollde, “I came near sell- ing that very property a month before we struck the rich ledge that has made me safe for three 2 day for the balance of my life. It was like this: I was on the point of giving up—hadn't struck any prospect worth talking about for a month, when I had a chance to sell out. Before I did so, however, I came to Ban ¥rancisco and chanced to call on Ismar, the Egyptian seeress. She told me to go down eleven feet farther and T'd find myself wealthy. I did. It was @ lugky thing, though, that I saw Madam I when I did, or I would still be a man.” Mr. Stolide is now worth above a hundred thousand dollars and is still pilifg up gold. He makes regular trips to San Francisco to consult with the wonderful woman—Ismar. whom he owes his present prosperity. He acts wholly on her advice and she has never failed yet. She can do as much for you. If you are thinking of doing anything of im; ce, see Ismar first. Don’t marry without consulting her in advance. It may save you and others years of mis- ery. If you contemplate a trip, call on her first. She can tell you whether it will be well or not. If you are abeut to enter business or engage in some enter- prise, don’t fail to get her advice be- forehand. She will tell you the truth. You can depend upon her. Many of the most successful and prosperous men and women in California never fail to consult her on everything of importance. Know the future. She can tell you, If you are ailing, don’t hesitate to call on her. As a healer of diseases she has no = anywhere. Many of the cases cured her are marvelous ones. Some were previously pronounced le.
