Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, April 13. Itis already apparent that the new City Council is at work. Perhaps the most that of the License Committee, which has laid on the table an application for a saloon license for the old Union Hotel on Thirteenth avenue. President Rowe de- ignificant act it has yet undertaken is | | | nounced the establishment very forcibly. | He sald it was an objectionable place with back doors and card rooms and un- | worthy of a license. The matter will lie on the table until a majority vote desires that it be taken up. Some faction -is evidently interested in trying to stir up trouble for the new Coun- cil in the matter of Sunday closing.

The Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 98 Broadway, April 13. It required just fourteen minutes for a Jury in Judge Hall's court this afternoon | to decide upon a verdict convicting John | Green of biganey. He was recommeénded 10 the mercy of the court. | The trial occupled the greater portion of the day and attracted as spectators a large coterie of friends of the parties in- | volved. e evidence showed that Green‘\ married Lizzie Lunny on July 14, 182, by contract. At that time the latter was but 13 years of age. They lived hap- pily together on Natoma street, San Fran- cisco, for five vears and each year was heraided by the advent of a llttle one, About a year ugo Green enlisted under the first call for volunteers in the First Cali- fornia and was mustered out in the bat- | tery. He had enlisted as a single man. | When his wife disclosed his true matri- | monial status he was thrown into the | militaty prison, was court-martialed and | acquitted. On Iebruary 2 of this year he | married his wife's sister, Maggie Lunny, | in this city, Then relatives took up the | cause of the abandoned wife. His arrest | followed. The defense tried to establish the flle- | f:\l]l)‘ of the first marriage, and the de- ‘endant took the stand in his own behalf, He based his belief of being single upon | the following agreement, which his ac- cuser, the first wife, had signed: “ANGEL ISLAND, Cal., Jan. 23, 189, “1, John Green, and I, Lizzie Lunny, do | reement understood by both con- | ng parties, to wi “That I, Lizzie Lunny, do release all | claim I have and have had upon the chil- | dren gf both contracting parties, jeaving both in their father's care, and that I, Lizzie Lunny, do not hold him responsibie for my support, as this ns‘renmeut makes | vold all past obligations that we had en. | tered into by contract as man and wite, and_that I in future shall resume my maiden name as Lizzie Lunny.” | Green stated that his wife had told him | there was no necessity for a divorce and that “as long as he would care for the children it was all right; she did not care for herself.” 5 At the preliminary hearing Green testi- fied that he had suggested the foregoing sgrecment; now he said his wife had first suggested it. Attorney Choynski also testified. He wis an officer in the battery of which de- fendant was a private, and he regarded his reputation for truth and honesty as being good. The arguments were brief, the instruc- tions to the jury oral, and the jury promptly convicted Green, who will' re- ceive his sentence next Wednesday. ——— What Shall We Do with Cuba?: discussed by William J.

'FALSE 6HARGE MADE TURNER A MANAIC | ATTEMPTED TO MURDER HIS MOTHER. Joseph Turner Accused of Defaulting Less Than Two Dollars Loses His Reason. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, April 13. An ill-founded charge that he had de- faulted the petty sum of $1%5 has wrecked the mind of Joseph Turner Jr. and al- most resulted in the brutal murder of his defenseless mother. Turner is 18 vears old and resided with his parents and sister at 1015 Taylor ave- nue, Alameda. Until a few days ago he was a trusted employe at Le Count Bros.” wholesale stationery house in San Fran- cisco. According to the story given by the father at the examination of his son to-day, the latter was recently accused of being short $135 in his accounts. The books were Inspected and all was found to be correct. Then the young man gave his accuser, another employe, a sound trouncing, whereupon the firm dismissed him from service. His discharge so worried him that sick- ness came, and with it mental derange- ment. For several nights the elder Tur- ner sat up watching his son, but yester- day the exhaustion resulted in a faint- ing spell. While the father was in this condition the insane son secured a base- ball bat, declaring that he intended kill- ing hig mother and sister. But for the timely reviving of the father, who Inter- ceded, the women would have met death. Then the young man’'s mania took an- other turn ‘and he started In throwing furniture and glassware through the win- dows. Tinally he attempted to set fire to the house. He was brought to the Ri ving Hos- pital to-day in a tightly closed carriage and had to be strapped down. Drs. Bu- teau and Tisdale examined him and this afternoon Judge Greene committed the unfortunate young man to the asylum at Napa. The physicians are hopeful that Tur- ner’s dementia will prove to be only tem- porary. —————————— PEACE DECLARED. The Forderer-Mackie Misunderstand- ing Amicably Settled.

K. G. Schwartz, a jeweler at 502 Battery street, reported at police headquarters vesterday that a sneak thief had stolen a diamdond ring from him., The man enter- ed his stofe Wednesday afternoon and asked to look at some diamond rings. Schwartz showed him a trayful, but he did not feel satisfied with any of them and Schwartz turned his back to get an- other trayful. None of them suited him and he left. After he had gone Schwartz missed one of the rings from the first trayful, which the thief had stolen while his back was turned.
