Howard comes to trial. The complaining wit- ne! Mrs. Sherman—a deaf mute— the wife of a deaf mute and the mother of five children, all born under the curse of perpetual silence. Her principal witness is a deaf mute and the defendant is a deaf mute, and the trial will have to proceed like a hide- ous lesson in calisthenics, for they all must speak with their fingers and hear with their eyes. Judge and clerk and baliff must practice with dumb-bells before they can take a hand in the tes- timony, the court reporter may as well go home, for his art reaches not to their eloquent but muscular silence. The assault was made on Mrs. Sher- man in a house on Howard street on July 5 last. She and a friend, a Mrs. Colby, and her two children re to- gether in a room when Howard en- tered, and in the presence of those who were there he seized Mrs. Sherman and tried to drag her from her chair.

A week ago the young man received a letter from his mother advising him to b careful in the selection of his friends and to lead @ righteous life and place his trust in the Savior.

Such announcements, Chptain Gillen of the Mission district coupled with the $2 seats, have made a stir In the local music world. “Who is this young woman with the queer name and the soaring prices?” the musi- cians and the dilettante are ask- ing, and nobody seems to be able to give a complete answer. Miss Poddie has studied abroad under the usual motley of mas- ters; sung there and received the usual encouragement by the press. The Chicago critics, too, have written high words about her singing, and several of the San Francisco eritics who heard her in private last week have nothing but bouquets to throw. But beyond this sha is unknown and unsung, and the San Francisco that cares so little for the verdict of the rest of the world will have an oppor- tunity to find out for itself just has preferred charges before the Com- missioners against Reardon for unofficer- like conduct. Last Friday Reardon in open court stated that Smith on being arrested told him that Prosecuting At- torney Graham of Judge Joachimsen’'s court and Detectives Fitzgerald and Gra- ham of the Mission had destroyed the complaint In his case and the case had been “fixed.”” It is on account of these statements that Reardon is to be brought before the Commissioners, as the persons referred to by Reardon indignantly repu- dlate the truth of his assertions, which is backed up by the fact that the com- plaint was found. —e————— In the Divorce Courts.

JOUCHES FOR NEAD'S GOOD ~ REPUTATION lowa Soldier Comes to the Rescue. KNEW HIM IN SIOUX CITY HEARD THE EXHORTER AT THE VOLUNTEER MISSION. Police of That City Are Satisfied the Unfortunate Couple Are What They Claim to Be. There is a rift in the clouds hanging ominously over Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Nead, and through the break there streams a ray of sunshine, the first that has shown upon them for many days. There were developments in the sensational case yes- terday that gave strong confirmation to their statements and promise to event- ually clear away the terrible charges un- der which they lie, leaving only the scars and the humiliation of being shamefully paraded before the public as outcasts of the lowest type. The following from Sioux dispatches the establishes City to The Call fully identity of Nead and his brother, the notorious “Billy,” and bears out the suspect’s story to the letter: SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Oct. 4.—Since the news was recelved here of J. M. Nead’s arrest in San Francisco, the local police have been in- vestigating t cords of himself and brother, and have practically concluded that the Cali- fornian is, as he claims, a brother of the mo- torious “Billy.” The two were engaged in many transactions together, and confusion be: tiween them frequently arcse while they lived ilies were old residents here, but where they | came from before locating in Sioux Cit living here now professes to know. no divorced Mrs. Nead in town, Worth be found, until recently at 511 Water s formerly a letter carrl .

During the day _Sergeant Smith of the Fifty-first Towa Regiment, who was formeriy a photographer in Stoux City, called voluntarily on the cou- ple at their rooms, 125 Turk street. Smith asked Nead if he remembered him and being told that he could not, Smith sald he distinctly remembers the Neads when were holding volunteer misslons in night the ex- P ead speak and the address made a deep impression upon him. It was shortly before the departure of the Neads from Sioux City. Being a careful observer of people, due to long experience as a photographer, Smith was positive the man who stood before him was the orator he had listened to months before. He expressed his entire willing- ness to testify in court on their behalf and to aid them in whatever way he could. Mr. Nead also received a letter from a v and a telegram from Plerce Rat- ident of the Rescue Mission in Stoux City. The telegram read: You may say that you and your wife were regular attendants and members of the Metho- dist Episcopal Church here, and were in ex- cellent standing. Will write. Mrs. Nead has an aunt living in Sanfa Rosa who has been written to, and a reply is expected which will be used as evidence of the lady’s good reputation. Mr. Nead is confident of receiving a statement from many people In Sloux City signifying their willingness to make deposition as to his good character and work there. WHISPERING POLICEMEN. Prosecuting Attorney Reynolds Ut- ters a Timely Protest Against the Nuisance. Prosecuting Attorney Reynolds of Judge Low's court had occasion yester- day to call down a policeman for whis- pering in the ear of the Judge while the case in which he was interested was on the calendar. The case was that of William Nesbitt and Julla Nicholas, charged with grand larceny in stealing three suits of clothes and other articles from Berg & Co. The defendants were arrested by Po- licemen Peshon and Cavanaugh, and just before the case was called in court yes- terday morning Peshon got the Judge's ear and began to whisper in it. Reynolds romptly objected, and said that if eshon had anything to say in connec~ tion with the case he should do so in open court. “This practice,” said Reynolds, “‘of po- licemen whispering in the ear of the Judge is too common, and it is time it should be stopped. How would it look if a prisoner was to be taken out of the mother, ged of the Judge? I see no difference be tween the arresting officer and the de fendant in that respect.”” After the Prosecuting Attorney had fin- ished his remarks Peshon was glad to take a back seat. FLORENCE WILSON ARRIVES. The Daughte;;f the Secretary of Agriculture Is a Visitor in This City. Miss Florence Wilson, the daughter of the Secretary of Agriculture, a member of the Cabinet, arrived in this city last night and is at present a guest of her cousin, Mr. Morehouse, at the Savoy. Miss Wilson will not remain in_this city for any length of time, but will shortly leave for Chicago and then to Omaha, where she will join the Presidential party at the exposition. —_———— Stabbed in a Saloon Row.
