Storekeepers have often found on open- ing their places of business that 1heir show-windows had been either cracked or scratched by some sharp instrument dor- ing the night. The vandals are described as two sporty- looking young men about 5 feet 6inches 1all, wearing stiff high-rolled culh\ra,"_mh shoestiing neckties and Darby hats. They walk clase to the buildings and either halt in front of the windows or slacken their pace sufficiently to permit them to either puncture a hole through the glass or otherwise deface it by drawing lines across its surface in such & manner as to #poil i's appearance, Windows on Kear- ny and Market streets have received the | atiention of these vandals. | Stolen Plumbers’ Tools | Richard Kentzell and Charles Elliott, ex- | convicts, were arrested about 7 o'ciock yester- | day morning by Corporal Geimann and booked at the City Prison ona charge of burglary.

Mazxwell’s Discharge Because of His Testimony Under Discussion, Important Steps in the Motion for a New Trial of the Jacob Z. Davis Will Contest. Some time ago attorneys Knightand Heggerty filed an affidavit, signed by W. H. Gagan, in support of their motion for a new trial in the Jicob Z Davis will con- test. In that affidavit Mr. Gagan related a conversation which, he said, took place between him and Henry L. Duvis, a mem- ber of the jury impaneled to try the will case in Judge Coffey’s court. Mr. Gagan’'s statements seemed to cast a reflection on Mr. Davis’ undersianding of his duty as a juror and to this imputa- tion he has made answer, In an affidavit sworn to by Mr. Davis be sa; Iam, andat all the times hereinafter men- tioned was, a resident and citizen of the city and county of San Francisco, State of Califor- nia. and during the months of June, July and August, 1897, 1 temporarily resided at Palo Alto, iu the county of San Mateo, State of Cal- iiornia. 1 know William H.

He then caugntsight of me and deliberately crossed the s.rect dingonally to intercept me. He stopped me in front of the Mills buildiug and asked me how I was gel- ting nloug. Irepiled that 1 wason & jury in Judge Coffey’s court; that I had beea there a long tme; toat] wes tired, and that it was Retliug to'be u hardship. Thereupon the said Gagan said: “I hear you had a sensation in that courd this morning.” Ireplied yes, and that I felt very sorry for the young mun who testfied i the mording session, because he would probably lose his position. This conversation belween s.id Ga- gan and myself did uid was the onl with him in which the said coutestor any- thiug conzected therewith was referred to.

In court Bell de- nied tue accusatiion, saying in explsna- | tion that he was a viciim of a conspiracy | whca had been hatcued by Mrs. Pleasant | for the purpose of injuring his chances of winning the case to remove his mother from tiue guardianship of the children. It is said that tte colored woman feared that in case he was successful in this action Bell himself might aspire to the | suceession, and thai would be death to | her vlans.” The young man has alwavs strenuously denied that he was seeking the place, buton the contrary would be satistied with any selection Judge Coffey might make. But this s a part of anotter story. There had been rumors f,r some weeks that Bell nad other cards up his sleeve be- sides the civil action charging his mother with incompetency. ‘Three weeks ago | plans were for putting the whole mat- ter before tne Grand Jury in hopes of get- ting that body (o investigate tbe muanner in which Mrs. Piasant has managed the household of the millionaire for the past six vears.

Laura White, a chambermaid, was ar- rested about 1:30 o’cloci Sunday morning on Mission sireét by Policemen Tyrrell and Phelan, and notwithstanding her pro- testations she was sent to the City Prison on a charge of vagrancy. g She remained in prison till yesterday morning, -when she was taken, before Judge Campbell. g Policeman Tyrrell testified that he had been watching Laura jor s-veral days and had seen her out at all hcurs of the night. Police:nan Phelan’s testimony was worse. He declared that be had known Laura for severai weeks and had been ‘keeping a close watch on her movement-, The Judge told Luura that the case looked bud ior her, and he wouls have to send her to the County Jail for six months unless she could bring wiinesses to testify as to her character. Laura asked to be sworn. She testified that she had been in a siiuation at Santa Cruz as chambermaid and came to the ity last Friday morning. Since then she bad be=n trying to get u simi ar position She was on her way home when the officers arrested her. She toid “Ler story s=o truthfully and offered, 1 piven time, to substantiate it, that the Judge beiieved her and dismissed the case.
