The first question brought out objections, and these served to" show | which way the trial was to be directed. Nead, charged with vagrancy, must be shown to be a disreputable character himself and to have been habitually con- sorting with disreputable characters—and the prosecution proceeded to demon- | strate_that the first and worst of these | was Nettie Nead, his wife. It was prac- tically a retrial of the woman. The court ruled that the prosecution could show the character of the asso- ciates of the defendant regardless of who they were, and the witness was allowed to proceed. The woman herself was not in court. Mr. Gallagher, counsel for the | defense, by objecting to officers saying she was the one they saw walking the streets, nearly had her ordered to ap- pear and be identified, but the court did not want to subject her to the gaze of the courtroom crowd, and said so, and Mr. Gallagher ceased his objections. Joy's testimony s the same as given | in the trial of the woman—how she spoke | to him on the street and invited him home; how he knew her because he had | seen her a few nights before in the Thalla, an underground resort on Turk | street, where she was seated at a table talking to her husband and two other | women, in whose footsteps she was fast | following. He sald Need stood on the | corner and watched ~while the woman plied her trade. | _Policeman Sylvester, whose beat is on | O'Farrell street, told how he had watched the woman and had seen her speaking to men on the street while the defendant hovered near, but on the other sidewalk, and whistled whenever he saw the officer approaching. To him she was *the woman in black.” He had had his attention the wagons. This will' be an innovation in_outdoor demonstrations. The following letter was received from James M. Hamilton, secretary of the San Francisco Cycle Board of Trade: To the Secretary of the Good Roads Parade: Drear Sir: Since April, 189, our motto kas been ‘‘Repave Market Street,”” and now that we are reallzing that our time and work has brought forth good frult, we are more than pleased_to ald and assist the good roads pa- rade.

Left Wednesday Evening to Take a Three Years’ Course in Bellevue Hospital, New York. To many of Miss May Hoffman's called to her by a business man, and his idea was to watch her until ..e could e: | tablish a case of vagrancy against her. | | For five nights he saw the woman and the man and then she disappeared from | his beat. He had kept a record of her | comings and goings on a little card, but | when she ceased to roam the streets of | his beat he tore the record to pieces and | thought no more of her until he saw her | under arrest. Policeman Gillen testified | to seeing her aimlessly wandering around | McAllister, Jones ‘and Leavenworth | streets and Golden Gate avenue, the de-| fendant still keeping his distance on the | other side of the street, but never far | aw Phiilip J. Haskins then came to tell how in Police Court 4. of waich he is the | clerk, Mrs. Nettle Neaa had been con- | victed of vagrancy, and also of plying the | trade of a fallen woman. After him came Mrs. Augusta Frost, who keeps a lodging house on O'Farrel street. It was to her that Mrs. Nead had | come to rent a room, saying it was for | herself and_her husband, but it was not | she said, who was the most | itor there. She spoke to the ked if her husband knew | he was doing, and In spite of Gal- | s objections the witness told how | Nead had declared that her husband | knew the whole truth. From Mrs. Frost's house Mrs. Nead went to a house kept | by a Mrs. Etta Ralph, and there she met | Tessie Smith and Hattle Robel with vhom she and her husband were talking when first they were seen by Policeman Joy in the Thalia. Mrs. Ralph was called to tell how she Introduced Mrs. Nead to | Tessie Smith and of the manner of life led by the two women while they lived under her roof. | A. Davis, a jeweler, then took the stand to tell of an encounter he had had with Mrs. Nead on Market street. He sald she asked him to go home with her, and when he asked her where she lived she pointed the husban frequent v woman and a what out a cigar-store across the street where the derendant used to do business. He asked who was the man who stayed in the store, and she told him it was her : but he need not mind, her hus: uld not interfere with them. Davis said, too, that one evening sue came into his store to buy a locket and chain, and that when it came to the pa~- ment for the jewelry she showed herself to be a woman without shame or virtue. And then the crowd in the courtroom guf- tawed and the loungers nudged each other and winked at the defendant, who sat in ' his chair and said nothing, while the bail- iff had to hammer on the desk before the ' case could proceed again. ! The story was too good to keep, Davis safd, and he had told it to a few friends, and ‘again the bailiff had to hammer on the desk to keep in check the humorous disposition of the crowd. Tessie Smith was the last witness of the afternoon. She_had an interesting story to tell of how Nead had come to_ her in band w. She said he wanted her to tell him how his wife could escape the vigilance of the police and what was the | best way in which she could make money at the Thalia. She gave what advice her experience had shown her was good. And | then she was turned over to Mr. Gal- lagher for cro: xamination. She had to tell of the life she was leading, and her efforts to shield herself brougnt new amusement for the loungers, who laughed and joked even after the adjournment and while they trooped out of the courtroom and out into the corridor. The case will go on again Monday. GOOD ROADS PARADE. Draymen’s and Tg;msters" TUnion Will Introduce an Innovation in the Procession.

She started alone last Wednesday evening for the East. Miss Hoffman's decision was not according to the wishes of her family, as she had a brilliant future before her in other walks of life. For some time past she has been one of the leading lights in San Fran- cisco’s social circles, in which sphere she filled a very important place, as have all of her relatives, who have and do now oc- | cupy in Federal offices. In her social position Miss Hoffman prominent positions became interested In works of charity, | and this led her to become interested in | the management of the Children’s Home. ‘With the greatest of interest she watched the nurses who cared for the littie ones, and she often expressed the desire to take upon herself a life of charitable usefui- ness. Society’s calls did not appeal her so loudly as the cri suiferers, and her relatives believed that if she ever broke from the former and applied herself to caring for the latter it would be in the Children’s Hospital, in which she had taken so great an interest. However, recently the young lady decid- ed that the fleld here was not large enough, and she announced her intention of going to the New York institution and there pass through the entire ry in order to become a trained To the protests of her turned a deaf ear, and she that at last all objections were with- drawn, and she departed with the best wishes of all who had been informed.
