When they had all they could handle, they demanded breakfast of an Innkeeper and after the meal ordered the very men they had robbed to pack the loot on their backs and carry it 16 miles to the sea. where it was loaded on boats. The entire affair was watched from the window of the place the mission ary occupied, but he was powerless to aid the unfortunate merchants.

He was building a horpitsl, and had drawn $500 one day to pay the bills. He only paid out $150 and the balance of the money he had placed in a basket under tne nead of . his bed in such a position that if anyone should attempt to pull it out, he would be awakened. The next morning the money was sone and he later found out that three men had burned their way into the building, and as he slept one man, with a' drawn sword, stood over him, ready to strike if he shomd waken, a second lifted the cot very carefully, while a third pulled the bas ket from under the cot. .The money was returi-ed by officials of the1 pro vince.

This was the first day of the experiment of furnishing moneyless men with an at torney. Attorney Henrv L. Lvons is doing this work' this week, his services being free. ! Before court sat, the public defender went among the prisoners and asked if any wanted legal advice. Two young men arrested for assault and battery were the first to consult him. They were advised to plead not guilty. One was discharged in court The second was fined $10. 's. A man charged with a felony did not. know the charge against- him, or what to do. He was advised to waive pre liminary hearing and take his case di rect to the grfend Jury. This saved the court fully 80 minutes. A woman sought advice regarding the waywardness of her son. News of the public defender was cir culated among the prisoners this morn ing and a large number applied for legal-advice. ' Starts With Handicap. , Los Angeles, Feb.
