She aescribed her as a woman with short curly hair. Mrs. Fields also said he never spoke about women and was a very quiet and gentlemanly man.

Shehad been a theatrical star up to that time, and while her looks were | not calculated to set the hearts of men sfire, her figure was shapely and her ways were captivating. Stutz admired her most in her profes- sion as a danseuse or as a character artis, for his room on Howard street was well decorated with her pictures in costume. That his affection continued is evinced by the fact of Lis frequent calls upon her at her rooms long after she left the stage and | shooting. Ske was an eye-wiiness of the proceedings until the time she ran out of the room, leaving George Stutz and Cora Borden alone. She made the following statement: I have known the dead woman about four months. I think she was about 34 years of age. She has lived here with me about a week. sne did my dressmuking for me and was sleeping on my lounge until she conld find some work. This man came in about 10:30 this morning. 1 sat on the rocking-chai: (Mrs. Borden) sat on the sofa andhe satona chair in front of her. He knocked at the door end asked for Miss Lincoln.

When I ran down the stairs I heard anothershot: this was about 10:30 this morning. The woman had e little boy stopping over in Oakland; that isalll know about her. Police Officer 0. C. Phillips knew Mrs. Borden when she kept a dressmaking place on the 400 block on McAllister street. 1is official statement is: The man weat to her place about three months ago and had a quarrel with her, aud | on going out he broke a glass door, and the woman asked some officer for protection. I don’t know which officer. She then left that place and moved further down on McAllister, and Imet the man once going into the place where she formerly was; he said he had a key and that he paid the rent and was at liberty to go there. Alter she moved out I did not hear of her any more. Elmer Barbey, son of the landlady at 336 Polk street, where the tragedy took place, also maae a statement to this effect: Last night as I came home trom the theater, about 11 o'clock, I met this man outside. He inquired if Mr. Barclay lived there? I said yes, but that it was pretty late for any one to call that night, and the man replied, *All right, I will come in the morning,” and ne | went'away. POOLS 1N A NEW GUSE | May Go to Sausalito as Commis- | sion Houses by Obeying the Law. Harry Corbeit's Sugar-Coated Peti- tion Conditiona ly Swal. | lowed. The poolsellers got knocked out in the | first round in Sausalito last night. The ball opened when the clerk finished reading a communication from H. E. Cor- bett, asking permission to open a commijs- sion house under such conditions as the board might see fit to impose. General Dickinson said he knew of no law or ordinance prohibiting any man from opening a commi-sion house to sell beef, pork or women. Therefore he would like more information on the nature’ of what Mr. Corbett wanted permission for. A man named Harrison, a poolseller from San [Francisco, who was present, said there was a great difference between a commission house and a poolroom and | proceeded to explain the difference in favor of Corbett’s petition. He evidently | did | was shown later, when a vote was taken | on the guestion of repealing ordinance | No. 83 In the meantime Corbett cen open a commission house by paying $5 for the | privilege for three months, with the posi- tive understanding that any violation of | ordinance 33 will be severely punished. | Thus General Dickinson and Mayor \ Milier have set themselves right on what | was an issue between the residents of that municipality as to whether the poolrooms | should be permiitted to reopen by a repeal ordinance 33, which has prohibited them. | The strong arm of the Jaw has been in- voked to stop the pool-selling, and “Eng- lish Bill” Jackman, who was arrested, | was fined $100 by the Justice of the Peace. | This victory for the Goddess of Justice | has 1n a measure quieted the fears of the “hill”” people that there would be pool- shops on the “front.” | In the meantime the ‘front’” people have not been idle, and while they all recognize that the Jaw must be enforced | as long as it remains on the ordinance | book, the only thing to be done is to have it repealed, and a new law passed by the Trustees licensing pool-selling at a penalty | 0f $100 per monti. | " This gilded bait has taken so well that in a petition circulated for the repeal of the obnoxious ordinance, 195 voters out of 330 signed in favor, while scarcely any have signed the counter petition for the retention of the law as 1t is. | The reason as given by the people on | called | that the man was in prison. the **hill” for tbeir indifference as to sign- ing 2 petition to retain the law is their confidence in the Board of Trustees to | stand firm with a stiff spinal column and refuse to repeal. This confidence in the Trustees would be maintained if Trustee Sperry was present, because he is aecidedly opposed to turn- ing Sausalito into a second Monte Carlo, | even with the advantage of bringing $1000 | monthly into the small treasury-box. But with Mr. Sperry absent and General Dickinson’s record of defending the pool- sellers on this side of the bay and Trustee Ambjornson in an awkward position on a rickety fence leaves them to pin their faith | to Mayor Miller, with sufficient bracing on the general dignity and manlness of General Dickinson to stand up for the | good name of the town and the wishes of | the bhetter element of the residents who are opposed to the opening of gambling- dens in their town. | — S i 'TOOK THEIR QUEUES. | Bow Morosco’s Three Little Chinese Actors Were Frightened Out of the Theater. Morosce hus three little Chinese boys ; who take part in the naval drama now be- | ing given at the Grand Overa-house, and | the securing of the small Asiatics has been i attended with trouble galore. In the first place their parents had to be satisfied that | the younysters would not bs bewitched or | given the evil eve or some other dread dis- | ease, and then the boys themselves had to be coaxed. During the first rehearsal the Chinese fathers were present to witness the per- formance and test the question of their children’s safety. They stood in the wings and when in one of the acts a player rushed off the stage with a revolver in his hand, with madness in his rolling eye- balls, the Mongols struck out for China- town. After much perzuasion and an increase of salary for the young actors, the hittle | fellows were brought back to the theater. | Asis well known, a Grand Opera drama is filled with the smoke and thunder of war, and when the first gun was fired there was a hurried exit. The place on the stage where che infantChinese stood were empty, but Police Sergeant Couboy, patrolling on Mission street, saw three small pigtails whisk by him and heard the flapping of three smail blouses in the night wind ere Chinatown received them agzain within her dark but protecting arms. “They took their cues with them,”” said | Conboy, who is a punster of a high order, and knows a theatrical joke when he sees it. ‘ [IRED OF LIFE, A Young Milkman “'i;o Took Poison | Because of Despondency. | Gotleb Faver, a lad 18 years of age, who was employed as a milker at a dairy on the San Bruno road, became despondent yesterday and swallowed a dose of strych- nine.

B. 0'Brien. THE LIE WAS PASSED. Culmination of Several Months’ Bad Feeling Between the Two. WHAT LED UP TO THE TROUBLE The Court Had to Be Adjourned Be- cause the Clerk Was Not in His Place. Pugilism is in the air, and even the judi- ciary has not escaped the infection, as was exemplified by Judge Campbeil yesterday. The victim of the Judge’s wrath was his clerk, Tom O'Brien, and it was the cui- mination of several months’ bad feeling that has existed between them. The Judge has on more than one occasion commented from the bench upon O'Brien’s dereliction of duty, and in private O’Brien has retali- ated by calling the Judge a fakir and threatenfng to *“do him up” at the next election. Yesterday, shortly before noon, Larry Buckley, who was acting as clerk, had stepped out for a few minutes and the Judge had just called a robbery case. “Where is the clerg?” asked the Judge, and receiving no answer he said: ‘“‘This sort of nonseise must be scopped. Itis time for O’Brien to understand that he must stay here and attend to the business of the court. We will ad journ tili2o'clock or until the clerk can attend to his duties.” The Judge put on his Lat, picked up his cane and walked into the Prosecuting Attorney’s room. O'Brien happened to be there. The Judge at once charged him with neglecting his duties and told him he would not stand his conduct any longer. This led to a battle of words, tiil finally O'Brien shouted, **You’re nothing but a fakir and a — liar.” “No man can call mea liar with im- punity,” rejoined the Judge, and in an in- stant he shol out his right fist, which landed squarely on O'Brien’s left temnple, and he droppsd to the floor like & log. The Judge's blood wus up, and he raised his foot, but before he could adminisier the threatened kick Policemau Bailey in- tervened, and the Juage, arter casting a look of contempt upon the prostrate form of his clerk, walked out of the room and went to lunch. 0'Brien, who had been completely dazed by the blow, staggered to his feet after the Judge had left and began pouring out his vials of wrath upon the Judge’s head, characterizing bim as a “‘carpetbagger,” a “faker” and a “liar’’ Then he was led away by some of his friends and did not make his appearance in court a When court was convened at 2o'clock the Judge said : erhaps it was an undig nified proceeding to thrash O'Brien, but | although [ am a Judge I am only human, and I wiil allow no man to call mea liar. Besides, this man O'Brien has been saying insulting things zbout me in court here and ping for months past, and it had got be- yond endurance. “‘He has been grossly neglcetful of his duties and has brought the court into con- tempt. The other day I convicted a man for beating a woman and ordered him to appear for sentence next morning. The case was not on the caiendar next morn- ing ana I forgot about it for two or three days, when it was called to my attention I spoke to O'Brien about it and be turned up his calendar where he had marked the case dismissed. That is only one instance, and the worst of it is that I am bound by the clerk’s record.”” The little finger of the Judge’s right hand was cut ana swollen from the effects of the blow. THOSETELEPHONE ORDERS City and County Attorney Cres- wel! Renders an Opinion on Them. The Measure Proposed by Herman de Laguna Declared to Bs the Most Complete. In reply to the communication recently sent to City and County Attorney Cres- well by the Board of Supervisors regard- ing the telepnone franchise, the legal ad- viser of the City has returned the follow- ing: To the Honorab'e, the Board of Supervisors of | the City and County of San Francisco—GENTLE- | MEN: am in reesipt of your communicatiorn dated June 9, 1896, inclosing resolution No. 14,540 (third series). Accompanying said reso- lution were two bunk oroers, offered by the | Peopiu’s Telephone (‘ompany x Laguna respectively, as 10rms tor the proposed grauting of a fran for u competitive tele- i:hone company in the City and County of San rancisco. I havs carefully examined these proposed franchises, as requested by your honorable bourd, together with certain amendments sub- mitied by the pariies interested. The form of iranchise submitted by the Peo- ple’s Telephone Company contains the maxi- mum charge of $3 per month rental for eacn teiephone justrumentand 3cents for each and every switen, while the form submitted by Mr. de Laguna coutains a scale of charges for monthly rental and switches, and among them is one for $3 per month rental and 3 centseach for switches. I have not sufficient practical knowledge to determine which is the cheaper of the two proposals for the patrons of the | telephone service. Each form contains a maximum rate, which is of itself a cuarantee of competition with any company making a greuter charge. The form submitted by the People's Tele- phone Company coutains a provision that the City shall receive the free use of forty tele- phones wishin two years after (he granting of the franchise, while the form submitted by Mr. de Lagune_gives the City 100 telephones free of charge for the tirst ten years of the life of the company and fifty additional thereafter.
