From Fullerton, he sent a telegram to Judge Williams asking permission to resume the direction of the defense of Gottlieb Meger, rich Anaheim rancher charged with intimate relations with his 18-year old granddaughter, Elsie Sémreau.

Complaint Filed With Dist. Atty. Against Four
Complaint has been filed with the district attorney's office at Santa Ana against W. Wignal, alias W. Dewitt, T. Franklin, Jas. C. Johnson and E. E. Nelson on a charge of swindling the First National bank of Yorba Linda out of $300.
The complaint, filed by Pres. Lester Keller of the bank, former president or the Orange A. C. of C., the four men entered into a conspiracy to defraud the bank. Keller asserts the quartet represented themselves to be widely-known and influential business men with substantial connections and that they maintained they were able to carry thru a large real estate transaction in which he was interested. He says they deposited with his bank fictitious checks to the total of $27.30 and then drew out $300.
Sheriff Jackson stated this afternoon the quartet represented themselves to be oilmen seeking leases in the Yorba Linda district.
Wignal was picked up in Long Beach yesterday evening, according to Sheriff Jackson, when it is alleged he attempted to pass a draft for $700 on a jeweler where he had made a purse.

KNOX & MAYBERRY BUY ON LEMON-ST
Knox & Mayberry, auto body builders, have purchased 51-1-2 ft on the east side of So. Lemon-at-between Chestnut-st and Broadway, from O. T. Callor.

Starting with a general blacksmith shop, this progressive firm rapidly developed an extensive auto body building business which requires considerable room for operations. They also build the Cook ridge, an invention by a No. Orange-co man which is declared by ranchers to be the best machine out for preparation of orchards for irrigation.

PRISONER GOES ON RAMPAGE IN JAIL
After creating a disturbance in one of the misdemeanor tanks at the county jail by engaging in a row with another prisoner, Melvin Smith, 21, serving a term of six months in connection with a charge of carrying concealed weapons, was put in solitary confinement by Deputy Sheriff Theo Lacy.
This angered Smith, who is declared to be a drug addict and for the present deprived of his opiates. He created such a noise that none of the other prisoners could rest and Deputy Lacy released him from the solitary cell. Still angered, Smith broke a piece of rusted pipe with his bare hands and with the end of this he smashed a water faucet.
Before Deputy Lacy's attention was called to this the entire floor of the wash room was filled with water and it appeared for some minutes that the whole tank would be flooded. Under Sheriff E. E. French was summoned and he aided Deputy Lacy in stopping up the broken water pipe.
French and Lacy then put Smith in what is known as the dungeon. He was quiet for some time and then managed to loosen an iron rod. With this he pounded the floor and walls of the dungeon most of the night. Few of the prisoners in the lower tanks of the jail could sleep because of the noise and even the fair Bebe Daniels' slumbers were disturbed.
Smith was arrested by Constable Jesse Elliott on complaint of Smith's wife. She claimed that he had threatened to kill both her and his mother. He is asserted to be addicted to the drug habit and Judge Cox sought to give him the rest cure for six months in the hope that he would
JACKSON ANSWERS CRITICS OVER BEBE
Sheriff C. E. Jackson has issued a statement concerning a communication addressed to the board of supervisors by L. H. Tunbrell, of Los Angeles, in which the latter criticized the manner in which Miss Bebe Daniels is being treated while confined in jail here.
The statement follows:
"To the Public:
"I wish to make a statement in regard to Mr. Tunbrell's communication addressed to the board of supervisors, and also to the public of Orange county."
"There has been a great deal of adverse criticism regarding favors shown Bebe Daniels and I wish the public to know that she has received no more favors at my hands than any other prisoner who has been confined on a similar charge.
"The fact that she is a girl has created wide interest and it is because of the numerous reports and the interest created in her that attention has been attracted to the treatment which she has received while confined in the county jail, and I want to say that because of this fact, the situation has been made very difficult for me.
The general public is constantly besieging me with requests to see Miss Daniels, which I have refused and will continue to refuse. I am also constantly refusing requests to permit her to appear at various public entertainments.
"It is true that her mother and a few of her friends have been permitted to visit her at reasonable hours, but the fact is that numerous newspaper reports have been equally exaggerated, as for instance the report appearing in a Los Angeles newspaper to the effect that Bebe Daniels was given a musical by a Los Angeles orchestra, yesterday.
This statement is without foundation. The orchestra did ask my permission to give Miss Daniels a musical, but the request was refused, as was a similar request by local Spanish people who wished to serenade her in the evening. Not only are requests of this sort made by our local people, but they come from many points outside of the county, and from people who are merely driving through.
"I think if Mr. Tunbrell is trying to clean house, he would have enough to do in his own country without coming down to Orange-co and endeavoring to create strife"
Atlco carrying more weight than is his custom, Nelson stated today he was feeling fine and stated he was confident he would obtain the decision tonight.
Farmer Tremblin, of El Centro, will meet Bob Bernhart, of Los Angeles, in a preliminary, best two out of three.

The orchestra did ask my permission to give Miss Daniels a musical, but the request was refused, as was a simile request by local Spanish people who wished to serenade her in the evening. Not only are requests of this sort made by our local people, but they come from many points outside of the county, and from people who are merely driving through.
"I think if Mr. Tunbrell is trying to clean house, he would have enough to do in his own county without coming down to Orange-co and endeavoring to create strife among our own people, and furthermore, if Mr. Tunbrell had a 20 year old daughter confined in the Orange county jail, I do not think he or anyone else, would object to her receiving the treatment which has been accorded Miss Daniels, and I think it will be conceded that to be confined in any jail, even under the best of conditions, is not pleasant for any young girl.
"The idea seems to prevail that Miss Daniels' cell has been sumptuously furnished by Orange county, but the facts are these: The cell has a cement floor. She has been furnished by her friends with a rug, a bedstand, two chairs, dresser and small table, but I wish the public to know that she is sleeping on the regular jail springs and mattress and is also using the regular jail blankets and linen. Also the Vietrola, by which the inmates are profiting, was sent in by her friends, and musical instruments are always permitted any inmate of the jail, no matter on what charge he may be confined.
"If the people who criticize could only see the actual conditions which surround Miss Daniels' cell: I think they would have more sympathy for her and those in charge. Confined on the same floor with Miss Daniels is a dope fiend, whose ravages at times are almost unbearable.
"It is very easy to criticize, but if those who wish to criticize would only acquaint themselves with the actual facts, I think there would be much less criticism and that it would be much more fair to all concerned.
"C. E. JACKSON,
"Sheriff of Orange-co."
Miss Daniels sent a letter to Sheriff Jackson in which she stated that she was sorry to learn of the adverse criticism that was being made regarding the treatment being accorded her while in jail by Sheriff Jackson. Deputy Sheriff Theo Lacy and Mrs. Lacy, the matron. She said she was sorry to learn of the special treatment while in jail but appreciated the action of her friends in making her cell comfortable by furnishing it and concluded by saying that she "did not want your inherent courtesy to bring upon you or the board of supervisors any unjust criticism."

MRS. JOHN MYERS IS VICTIM LAST NIGHT OF BURLY RUFFIAN
Seized While Walking Along Boulevard to Neighbors and Dragged Into Orange Grove
Anaheim was shocked today as details became known of an atrocious attack at 7 o'clock last night upon Mrs. John Myers near her beautiful ranch home on E. Center-st.
Mrs. Myers was seized by a burly ruffian as she was walking along the boulevard to her neighbors, the DeCock'a, a short distance away. She was dragged a few feet into the W. J. Elliott orange grove and there brutally mistreated.
She was picked up unconscious on the edge of the boulevard where she was observed to fall upon emerging from the grove by autoists, among them L. E. Sutherland; and taken into her home.
The fiend did not accomplish his purpose. Mrs. Myers fighting him off until he desisted, it is believed; thru fear of apprehension from passing motorists. She was badly bruised and much of her clothing was torn from her. One car was lacerated and there
BEBE OFFERS CUP FOR SPEED OFFICERS
DOS ANGELES, April 21—The Bebe Daniels Sweepstakes, open only to motorcycle cops, has been added to the number of championship motorcycle races to be run on the Beverly Speedway next Sunday, Apl. 24. The movie maid, Bebe Daniels, will emerge from her vacation-quarters at Santa Ana next Sunday morn, if all goes well, and will drive directly to the Beverly Speedway to present the cup which she has offered for the speediest motor cop in the entire state.
Besides being the "Queen of Speed" herself, Miss Daniels is a race enthusiast, and never misses an event on the Beverly Speedway, having a special season box for her enjoyment of the various speed battles. In arranging the event over long-distance phone yesterday, Miss Daniels declared that: "Speed cops should be given a chance to show in public how much speed they can make, and thus give fair warning to those who would like to 'step on it' along the country roads. Many others than myself would be tickled to see a few patches of motor-cops' skin lost by skidding on the board track."
Practice for the big professional championships of 50, 30, and 20 miles is going merrily along. Fifteen professional speed-devils are out on the speedway daily, flirting with death at around 115 miles an hour. Fred Ludlow covered a mile last Saturday in practice at 115.85 m.p.h., topping "Otto" Walker's mark of 112 miles an hour. Yesterday, Ralph Hepburn and Jim Davis came near equalling the mark by mere inches, with a wind slowing them up.
More than 100 are entered in the 25-mile amateur-championship race, next Sunday, to be run in five heats.
EXPECT REDLANDS TO SEND FAST TEAM
If the info obtainable by local fans is correct, Anaheim Elk baseballers are going to have harder work next Sunday with Redlands Elks than with Santa Ana Elks last Sunday when the locals won 10 to 5. The Redlands Elks recently trimmed the fast Univ. of Redlands pastimers Dillon, former Los Angeles Coast was dragged a few feet into the W. J. Elliott orange grove and there brutally mistreated.
She was picked up unconscious on the edge of the boulevard where she was observed to fall upon emerging from the grove by autoists, among them L. E. Sutherland; and taken into her home.
The flend did not accomplish his purpose, Mrs. Myers fighting him off until he desisted, it is believed, thrue fear of apprehension from passing motorists. She was badly bruised and much of her clothing was torn from her. One ear was lacerated and there are bruises of fingerprints about her throat, nose and face where her assailant attempted to stifle her cries.
Mrs. Myers has been bysterical much of the time since and has been unable to be of any assistance to officers in describing her assailant.
In her only lucid moment last night she said she was approached by a man who repeated:
"Have you any gasoline? Have you any gasoline, honey?"
Mrs. Myers says she replied in the negative whereupon she says he cried: "I'm going to fix you," and seized her.
Nothing further than this was obtained from her today as she continued in a very nervous condition. Not even Sheriff Jackson was permitted to interview her. Neighbors say her scrigams are audible at their homes as she fancies the ruffian has returned.
Mrs. Myers is a defluate, nervous woman, about 25 years of age and weighing about 115 pounds. She has been slowly convalescing from a series of operations performed in January. She confided to friends yesterday that she was feeling the best of any time since she went under the knife.
She had stepped into the W. J. Elliott home for a few minutes and then proceeded toward the DeCock home where she was going to stop for a few minutes before continuing home. Just as she was passing from in front of the Elliott home, she was attacked, her assailant taking her back of the first row of trees from the road and but the third row from the Elliott house.
Footprints indicate the flend to be an unusually large man. These footprints were also noticed under a window of the Elliott home. Whether these were made before or after the attack is not known. W. J. Elliott purchased a new revolver today.
Sheriff Jackson was not informed of the attack_until 8:30 today. He was much worried because of the delay and urged The Plain Dealer to carry the earnest suggestion to all people of No. Orange-coat that whenever such incident occurs that his office be notified at once.
"Had we been notified at once last night, we could have had a poise of 200 men from the Anaheim and Pullert posts within a very few minutes," declared the sheriff today.
"We would have combed every arch-and in the vicinity and it would have

The Redlands Elks recently trimmed the fast Univ. of Redlands pastimers. Dillon, former Los Angeles Coast League manager, is utility of the Redlands Elks.
Hughes and Salveson, Anaheim Elk twirlers, have been working out this week. Hughes looked good in the box in the three innings he pitched last Sunday. He is the same steady, heady pitcher as he used to be when he stood 'em on their heads in the Coast league. Arch Hawkins and Art Cline will be in uniform Sunday. Following are the squads:

Sheriff Jackson was not informed of the attack_until 8:30 today. He was much worried because of the delay and urged The Plain Dealer to carry the earnest suggestion to all people of No. Orange-co that ever any such incident occurs that his office be notified at once.
"Had we been notified at once last night, we could have had a pose of 200 men from Anaheim and Fullerton posts within a very few minutes," declared the sheriff today.
"We would have combed every orchard in the vicinity and it would have been practically impossible for anyone to have escaped. As it is, I am placing all my force over here today but without much hope of being able to apprehend the criminal at this late date.
The only clues the sheriff found were a small bottle, from which the label has been almost obliterated, there being, however, sufficient remaining to indicate it was from Heying's Pharmacy. At the drug store today, Al Heying was unable to tell from a casual inspection of the phial what it had contained.
