THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14. 1897. *BENNETT MUST STAY TN JA His Attorney Failed to Pro- test at the Proper Time, United States District Judge de Haven Reverses the State Supreme Court. Justice Beatty's Dissenting Opinion Declared to Be the Sound Law of the Case. United States District Judze de Haven rendered an op = in the case of the People against C. R. Bennett, practically affirming the dissent- 2 opin of Justice Beatty in the State reme Co . Bennett was secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Vice, and while acting b betraved a too confiding young named Gray. The matter became nd the girl's father took a couple ts at Bennett with a revolver in a ilroad car, but being a miserably poor narksman missed, altnough he was not more than ten feet away from Bennett. , Gray was arrested, but a sympathetic L 3 ignored the facts and the evidence and acquitted him. The next time Gray and Bennett met, Bennett got the urop | on ( and fired a shot with ay an aim equally as tas. Bennett was tried for an a-sault with a deadly weapon with intent to commit murder. Lim oi that charge, but convicted nim of an assault with a deadly weapon. He ob- tained a new trial, and without a new in- formation or indictment and without even being arraizned he was placea on his trial for an assault with intent to commit mur- der and was found guilty as charged. The Superior Court thereupon granted | him a new trial on the plea of D. M. onner, his counsel, that he had been twice in jeopardy for the t r offense. | This ruling was reversed by ttie Subreme Court of the State and the case was re- anded to the Superior Court, whereupon Jett was sentenced to one year’sim- prisonment in the penitentiary for the crime of an assault with intent to commit s appears from the decision of Judge Haven that Bennett's counsel made a fatal mistake when he failed to put inin ar of his second trial for the greiter ense the special plea of former acquit- 5 d it was because of his failure to do hat Supreme Court of the State i that as properly convicted of the e & 15e. bat the verdict of the jury on the first trial finding Ben- uilty of the lesser offen-e was in les effe n acquittal of the higher offense which the defendant stand< convicted. uerizhitof a person after acquiital by 0 be exempt placed on trial 1 upon tue same indictment for f se of which ne has been one of the funda- n, and ungues ee of due Dproce:s of urteenth amendment 1 1ong other things to see e citizen this right. acqittal had taken place in some r court or upon another indictment 1 the same court it would have been in- :mbent upon the petitioner to have cially pleaded such defen-e.

L0ST HER FURNITORE Mrs. Hoglan Forced to Spend a Night in the City Prison, Was Moving Failed to Make His Appearance With Her Belongings. and the Expressman A woman who gave the name of Mary Hoglan applied at the City Prison last evening for a nignt’s lodging. She was accompanied by four smail children and her request was granted and the unfortu- nate women and her children were put in charge of the prison matron. Ste told & story concerning her trouble which was novel to say the least. She had been Livi in tne Potiero for some time past, but seeing a chance to save money on the rent she had bien paying, arrangements were made by hé® 1o mcve. An expressman was callcd in and her be- longings started to her new home. After locking up the house when all her housebold furniture had been re- moved she took her children and started for the other house with theintention of arran g the furaiture and preparing dinner before night. When she arrived at the house she was surprised to find that tue expressman had not been there with the furnitura. Think- ing he had been delayed she waited, but in vain. About 9 o’clock rhe took her children and went to the prison. She refusea to give either her old or new ad- dress. It is possible the expressman went to tne wrong sddress, but the police are of the opinion that the furniture will not be seen again, as it is supposed be would have returned to the hoase from which be had moved the turniture after discov- :ring that he bad taken the wrong direc- ion. ——————— PEROY’S BIG FEE.

Reports From the Training Quarters Give Glowing Accounts of Both Men, The action of the Supervisors in refusing to grant any more permits for boxing matches in this city has caused consider- able uneasiness among lovers of tue sport, and although many had reached the con- clusion that the game w being played too often, and that they had been sur- feited with fistic bouts, the prospect of the Thursaay an Hawkins-Connolly match on night being the last to be held in Francisco for the vresent, at least, ha kindled all the old timeardor for the sport anew, and the indications are that the Knickerbocker Club wiil be rewarded with a ked nouse at the Mechanies’ Pavilion when the gong sounds for the preliminary event, The advance sale of seats began last Saturday, and up to last night the sheet showed $1500 wortk of reserved seats d s- posed of. The Knickerbocker Ciub has had the seating arrancements of the Payilion entirely remodeled from the plan a2dopted at the last match, and has divided the main floor into two biz sec- tions, one on either side of the ring. The seats in these sections are all rai<ed, tier upon tier, affording an unobstructed view of the ring from every part of the house. The seats mearest the ringside have been fixed at §3 each, and immediately behind them are the box seatsat §5 In rear of the boxes are the $2 seats, siretching backe ward and ooward to the end gallerie hese are ail reserved, and the manage- | ment guaraniees that every seat sold shall be held for the ticket-holder. Thue gallery seats have all been placed at $1, with no reservations, and it will be firsi come first served in th's part of the house, with the choicest locations falling to the early birds. de Haven said that there can b | in the same | The principals of the main event are pegging away at their preparatory work with dogged determination, and bot men are reported to be in prime condi- tion. Dal Hawkins is doing his work at Billy Chenoweth’s Ocean Side House | under the supervis:on of Billy Armstrong, | who has prepared him for all i:s notable contess, Connolly is at the Six-mile House with | | Lansing, who is to meet Joe King in a| preliminary bout of ten rounds the same | evening. Both men are beiung handled by | | Tim McGrath, the old-time trainer, who | has put many a winninz man in the ring. | King is getting into condition at the Ex- celsior Club rooms. Connolly and Hawkins will weigh in on Thursday afternoon at 4:30 o’ciock and the artic.es of agreemen: provide that the | men shall not go above 133 pounds. As | both Connolly and Hawkins are down to a figure close 'y approximateing that notch now no difficulty is expected on that score. Lansing and King are to go into the ring at caich weights. The articles call for the selection of the referes by the two princivals or their managers twentv-four honrs before the contest and on Wednesday afternoon an effort wi'l be made to decide this some- what difficult point. Neither Hawkins nor Connolly has manifested any prefer- ence 80 far, merely stating that the referee must te above suspicion, and that any such man with a thorough knowledge o the game will be satisfactory. Should a hitch occur, however, the s:lection will be 1:ft to the Knickerbocker Club, the officers of whicnh will announce their choice on the afternoon of tue coutest. It is the presentintention of the ciub managers 10 matci the winner of the Hawkins-Connolly t against “Kii.” Lavigne for the lizhtweizht chamuion- ship, provided, of course, that the Board of Supervisors reconsiders its determina- tion not to grant any miore permits for boxing contests. If thls match 1s brought about it will doubtless prove one of the most Interesting of recent years among the smaller men. So far there has been no betting to speak of on Thursday night’s contest, the public preferring to hola off until the last minute befors placing iis money; bu by to-night, when the men have prac- tically finisbed their work and the lat-st reports from the iraining quurters have been brought in, the poolrooms will begin 1o do business in earnest, and with Haw- kins a slight favorite, PICKPOCKET ARRESTED, James A. Broulette Charged With Va- grancy at the City Prison Last Evening. James A. Brculette was removed from the prison tanks last evening by Detec- tives Ryan and O'Dza and charged at t he Ci'y Prison with vagrancy. He gave his occupation as a porier, but he is well known to the Police Department as a clever pickpocket. For the past few weeks he has bean “working” the large crowds which visi. | | | | | the Emporium, especialiy on Saturday nights, when a mu ical programme is given. He was charged with vagrancy merely as a means of detention, and the detec- tves are of the opinion that they hold suflicient evidence azainst him to convict uim of pickine pocket THE ‘FLAG" CAME BACK. Hoyt’s Farce Opens the Colum- bia Holiday Season With Good Fun, The Other Theaters—New Alcazar Comedy—Baldwin Opera—Mo- rosco's Baby Drama. After ali there is but one Hoyt. There are good people who consider that one too many, but the most of us who appreciate a legitimate laugh at any old thing’s ex- pense value this industrious humorist for all heis worth. Hoyt nmiay imitate him- self now and then and he may often as- sume vulgarity with remarkable conv c- tion, but be is always unusual and always funny. And he never writes without first having something to sav. In *“A Milk-white Flag,” which flut- tered back to town last night and enabled the Columbia Theater to pay the biggest 100 cents’ worth of nonsense on the dollar | actead two of the immediate predecessors of this. “A Milk-white Fiag' 1s not to be classed wit b comic dramaj nor is it so trivial as to be put on a level with “in Guy New York’ and the general run of vaudeville farce. Hoyt has the variety instinet in huge degree, and he uses the “specialty’ as often as he can make it a diversion, but ue never ranks his ‘‘specialist” above himself. The piece is jerky and scrappy and in parts merely the cue for vaude- ville interpolation+ but on the whole there is some showing of unity and pur- pose in it that make you conscious of an aathor and a deiiberate dramatic inten- tion. 1conldn’t say how many times I saw “A Milz-white Flag” wten it piayed at the Baldwin last season, but at the least it was half a dczen, and each time I found some new satiric absurdity to admire. Last nmight, in spite of a new cast and some new songs, it was the same good old show— tor the traditions of hs roles have been lived up to sacredly vv the new peovle— and still it was almost a noveity for me, ana better than most noveiiles, inasmuch as 1 had ro anxiety as to how soon the good moments would be replaced by bad oues. I will aot admit that there is any one Who does not know the story and motive of “A Miik-white Fiag.” Asa satire on the mulitia, with sub-satiric trimmings on life insurance and a live corpse, it is asso- ciated with the laugnter of a whole na- tion. All that really coneerns us at this time of day is the manuer of the produc- tion, wuich is not so good as the original in points of ensemble singing and pretty girls aud better in the playing of some of the parts. A few of the men ars heavy, but the most are easy and of affable action. The notable individual success of last night w made by Miss Marie Marble, wito projected the Orphan in a summer chemise and lon:, low pantaleties, like grandma used 10 make. Miss Marble acted up to this daring costume with diabolic_skill, and sang the songs that went with the scene in the second act with einzery enterpris: Miss Lansing Rowan wasalsoabove last season’s record in the part of the widow. She was not neeulessly vulgar in the snuggling episode. All in all, “A Milk-white: Flag" easily bears a second inspection and should be a maguetic attraction for the holiday weeks, ASHLEY STEVENS. Baidw n. The {arewell week of the Itallan opera cea- son at the Baldwin was commenced lastnight, with a rep:tition of Puccini’s “Manon Les- caut,’” the opera that, after “Boheme,” was the most successful of the season at the California. The cast was practically the same as in_the earlier productions, and with the principal parts in the hands of Montonari, Agostini and Cioui the periormance was u good one. All that was needed to duplicate the former su cess was an audierce. Hardly a hundred per- sons were scattered about the Baldwin last night. To-morrow nignt wiil bring another | farewell nearing ot -“Boheme,” instead of | “Trovatore,” as previously announced. O-pheum. The new bill ot the Orpheum opens under most favorable ausp All the new acts are £0od and the changes by the hoid-overs tend to improve. John Kernell scored a hit. Some of his jokes are a little 0!d, but he tells tnem s only Kerneil can tell them. Besides he has & string of new work, nnd aitog=ther his turn is & great go. Mie. Pepete Delara makes up in costumes and vivacity what she may Inc in voice. Doherty's canine circus is a pre act and one tnat will prove & good Orpheu card for matinces. Servais Le Roy produce for the first time his new iilusion, “The D appearing Dance In this act he surpasse even the best work of the great Herrmann b allowing the dancer to be completely sur- rounded by people from the nudience. His other tricks are even beiter than iast week. Tae rest of the bili, with the exception of changes in repertoire, is the same es last week. Alc=zar Th-ater. The mew play at the Alcazar this week, “Wiil She Divorce Him?''is one of the best h: Alcazar has given in a long time. Frederick Paulding. since he has assumed the dutics of stage direcior, has rai<ed the tone of the performances, and the liitle com- pany w together with good spirit and good results. The acting of Wrizht Huniington, Gertrude Foster and Juliet Crosby last night was wor- thy of special notice, and largely apprecinted by the audience. b g fauit with the play was, perhaps, to it being the first night, that the waits were too long. The plot, as told betore, deals with the pe 1y jenlousies that sometimes accompany married iife, and the bad resuits of tLe interference of the parents-in-law. Morosc ’s. In racing vernacular, “Bootle’s Baby” won in & waik last night. The Grand had, per- haps, one of the largest first-night houses it 8 had for weeks, and it took the dear pre- cious litile baby right to its heart. Tne one of Gassaway's, is a dainty little a% fair, tull of pretty love scenes, ana, strange 1o say, the gallery reirained from any audible ‘joshes” during their progress, As Mignon (Bootle’s baby), Baby Ruth easi'y carri=d the honors, particuiarly when she ap- | peared in the last act in a riding habit, wear- ing the Ferrers colors. She looked exactly like one of the dreams recen'ly exhibitea at | tne doll show. Pascoe appeared as Bertie Ferries (Bootles) and the rest of the cast was well placed. Chutes Th ater, The Chutes Theater revels in vaudeviile, and Murphy and Raymond, sketchists, are the bright and particular stars of this week’s bill The chuiescope, which is one of the best pro- | jecting machinesin operatioa here, shows a humber of new pictures, prineipal among wnich is the fou:tain of the Tuilleries in Paris.

To-morrow morning at 10 o’clock Will- iam Henry Tueodore Durrant will bo re- seutenced to hang ‘or the muder of Blanche Lamont. Yesterday mornine District Attorney Barnes made a motion before Judge Bahrs that a day on which the date of execuiion could be set be pamed by his Honor. *“Thers is now pending,” he said in his address to the court, *‘the case of The People vs. W. H. T. Durrant, charged with murder. A judgment sentencing him to death was beretofore rendered and subsequently an order was made fxing the day on which the sentence of death was to have been executed. I hereby notify your Honor that the judgment of death has not bzen ex:cuted, and [ now ask that a day be namea on which the execution shall take place. “In connection with this matter I will file with the clerk of the court a notice I served on the attorneys representing the defendant, informing them of the action I would take to-day, and an affidavit by Walter P. Biair, showing that the defend- ant, Durrant, 1s still alive.” The affidavit and notice were placed on file and Dis- trict Atiorney Barnes took his seat. Mr. Deuprey then rose in bebalf of the dejendant and made a motion that the court siay the date of re-.entence on the ground that it had no jurisdiction. Judge Bahrs informed the attorney that the writ from the United States Supreme Court and the State Supreme Court had been received and spread on the minutes of the court. Mr. Deuprey interposed some fur her objections, but was over- ruied, and Deceniber 15 was named as the day on which Durrant wili be brougut from San Quentin to bear the sentence of death, it is thought, for the last time, Committee Delibe= rating Over Various Details, A Week of Unusual Festivity Out- lined for the Entertain- ment. A fuli attendanca of the executive com- mitteo of California’s golden jubiles at the Palace Hotel last night attested the interest and enthusiasm of the members. A commun‘cation was received from H.

Luther, was one of the few white men who were present when Marshall discovered gold in 1848. he two brothers, who communicated withr the committ-e, were boys of the age { 0f 10 and 7 years respectively at the time, and now they signify tbeir intention of being present at this anniversary. Letters of acceptarce, as orator and chaplain of the day, were received from Niles Searls and Rev. S. H. Willey. Tirey L. ford, chairman of the music and literary committee, gave a brief idea of what his committee uad in mind for the ni-ht performance, provided the executive committee could appropriate $3000 for th- entertainment. The matter was referred to the finance committee for 1ts consideraiion with instructions to re- port at the next meetin Mr. Ford’s programme if carried out will embrace a series of six tableaux, rep- resenting California’s bistory, mythical | and industriai. with the marriage o: King E!dorado to Queen Eureka, the former being the Inu.ans’ golden king and tne latter being emblematic of the white man’s progress.

Hughes, a rather attractive young woman, was arresied at an early bour yesterday morniag and charged with cruelty to her 18-months-old girl. E. &. Wynne, a conductor on the Hayes- street line, was arrested with her and booked for the same offence. Tue chila was turned over to Matron Gillmore. Mrs. Hugues arrived in the city several weeks azo from Santa Barbara, where her busband is engaged in business as a shoe- maker. Sve ronted a room in a lodging- house at 203a Powell stieet, intending to remain for a short time aud then return to her home. The woman's conduct became so no- torious that one of the inmates called Pe- lice Officer Brophy’s attention to 1t, and he determined to make an investization. feveral nights ago he went to the woman’s room and on opening the door he discov- ered Lwo men lying on a bed smoking opium. Mrs. Hughes’ infant was between tnem, her little fin ers clutching an opium bowl. The child was apparently unconscious from the effects of izhaling the fumes of the drug, and it was with difficulty that she was aroused. Mirs. Hughes was lying on the floor half naied, and stupetied from the effects o liquor. Brophy at once notified the of- ficers of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, aad it was decided to arrest the woman. Shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday morn- ing Officer McMurray of the society and Policeman Bropsy visited t e woman’s room avd found her and Wynne asieep. They were awakened and taken to tue City Prison along with the woman’'s in- fant, It is the intention of the officers to have the baby sent to some public institution. **When I first learned of the conauct of the woman,” remarked Brophy after Mrs. Hughes and Wynne had been locked up, “I determined to make a thorough inves- tigation. ‘‘Avout a week ago Ifound Mrs. Hughes walking along O'Farreli sireet accosting men who were strangers to her. I piaced her under arrest and took her before Lieu- tenant Birdsall. She promised to return to ter husband the next day and on that cendition Birdsall allowed her 10 go. *‘A short time afterward a woman ap- proached me while I was patroiling my beat, and asked me to interfere to save the child. She told me of the disgraceful conduct of Mrs, Hughes and two male companions. Uonvinced that her story was true, [ determined to arrest both the woman and ber consort.’” The baby is unusually bright for her age, but shows unmistakable evidence of being neglec ed. Wynne and Mrs. Hughes appeared in Judge Joschimsen's court yester 'ay morning. The woman carriad her baby in her arms. After hearing the testimony of McMurray and Brophy the Judge talked 1o Mrs. Hughes and she promised 1o return to Santa Barbara with ber buby. The cuses were coniinued for ter days, Wynne beine re'eased on his own recog- nizance. McMuriay last evening pur- chased the woman’s ticket and saw her off on the train for Santa Barbara. | | | THE DINNER. Mrs. Henry T. Scott Entertains in Honor of Miss Hopkins.
