Continual Objection Is Made by De- fense to Introduction of Evi-, dence in Behalf of the Prosecution. it The features at the trial ot Peter J. Mc- Glade, ex-clerk in the office of Superin- tendent of Streets, charged with forging salary warrants, yesterday were the con- tinued objections of Attorney Leénnon to the introduction of evidence and the ex- change of sharp verbal passages between District Attorney Byington and the de- fendant's counsel. Almost every question prosécution was objected to by Attorney Lennon, and in the majority of cases Judge Melvin overruled him. Judge Melvin many times was compelled to rebuke the attorneys for the language which passed between them, Attorney the aggressor in chief. | When Lennon asked Byington “to be a | gentleman for #nce; if you can” Melvin took a hand in the affair and re- { minded counsel that there must be no more such unseemly passages. Memory of Witnesses Is Bad. | As far as the testimony was concerned it was the same as was given at the pre- | vious trials of McGlade. The principal | witnesses plainly showed that they did not | intend to give any evidence derogatory to | McGlade. Ex-Superintendent of Streets | W. F. Ambrose was the first witness of the day. He identified the warrant of ap- pointment of McGlade, but would not | swear to his own signature on the docu- ment. He evaded the question by answer- ing “it might be mine” or “it might be s0. chief deputy to the County also suffered a lapse of memory when asked to identify his signa- | ture on McGlade's oath of office. Attorney | Lennon strongly objected to the witness | stating whether the document was an of- ficial record, claiming that Piper was not | authorized to administer an oath. The objections were overruled. | County Clerk W. A. Deane, who was & | deputy the County Clerk's office in | | Clerk in 1897-d duly recorded. Deane recognized the sig- | nature of Harry Piper on the document, being perfectly in; amiliar with Piper's writ: g. Detective Tom Gibson testified to having xvured the oath of office of McGlade om the files of the County Clerk’s offic giving a receipt for the same. Lennon ri; idly cross-examined Gibson as to knowledge of what constituted an official file, but did not rattie the witness. John Sullivan Is a Myth. A. J. Donovan, deputy superintendent of | streets in 1597-95, identified the books and records of the office, despite Lennon's ob- jection to having the books introduced in the case. The witness tnen examined the books and stated that no person of the name of John Sulllvan appeared on the pay roll or time books in 1897 or 1898, It {18 alleged that McGlade warrants in the name of “John Sullivan, | a supposed employe of the Street Depart- ment, working as a cleaner and repairer | of city sewer: | When cro: xamined by Attorney Len- non, the witness showed by the books that “J. Sullivan” had worked for the depart- | ment in 1897-98 as a hodcarrier in the de- partment of streets. Sullivan, the hod- carrier, had worked for $3 per day, while the alleged forged warrants in the name of “John Sullivan” called for pay at the rate of $4 per day. Martin_ Fleming. deputy in the Regis- | trar's office in 1898, identified the registra- | | tlon papers of McGlade and the signature of the defendant, The papers were intro- |;‘luced as an exemplar of McGlade's writ- {ing. | Thomas F. Clark, deputy in the street | department in 1898, ‘testified that he never had a man named “John Sullivan” work- | ing under him in sewer work. | McGinnis Tells of Forgery. T. B. McGinnis, clerk to the Board of Supervisors, testified that the signature of his name on the alleged forged war- | rant was not written by him, nor did he | authorize any one to his name to the | document, | . John H. Ryan, clerk to the Board of | Supervisors, was examined at length as | to the modus operandi of handling salary warrants. He testified that McGlade had received from him the alleged forged war- of the Supervisors. Lennon fired a long string of legal and technical objections to the admission of the alleged forged warrant as evidence and when he desired to make an argu- ment on the matter the prosecution tem- | porarily withdréw the offered document. | When District Attorney Byington sald | to Lennon, ““You have argued this matt | pefore.” Lennon came back with a o mark that “the attorney is fiot telling the | truth.” Byington countered by saying, “I | don't care to enter into a discussion with | you.” and Judge Melvin threw oil on trou- bled waters by telllng counsel to “pre | ceed wiih the proper conduct of the case. Opposing Counsel Clash. | When Lennon recalled Witness McGin- nis to the stand a scene occurred between the attorneys. Lennon sought to test Me- | Ginnis' ability to identify his own hand- | writing and asked him to look at a signa- ture on a sheet of paper. | to be allowed to inspect the document, but Lennon_ sprung his ever ready objection. Judge Melvin ruled against Lennon and Byington secured possession of the paper. While looking at it, Lennon shouted at Byington: “You are Jooking at the part of the pa- er that is folded over. 'or once if you can.” | Byington resented the personal imputa- | | tion and appealed to the court. Judge Meivin again reminded counsel that per- sonalities must cease and to go on with the case, | Lennon strongly objected to the court | allowing Byington to see the test signa- ture, and as he desired to quote declsions Judge Melvin adjourned the case until this morning at 10, J. Sullivan, the hodcarrier for the Street Department, having failed to respond to the subpena served on him, Judge Melvin issued a berch warrant for Sullivan's ar- rest.

Byrne, who has served one year as president, will receive the compliment of re-election. It is noted as an assuring sign of the de- velopment of art in San Francisco that the name of one artist. that of L. P. Lati- mer, appears on the regular ticket. The committee on nominations, which had the honor of placing Mr. Latimer on the tick- et, consisted of Frederick W. Zefle, Hor- are L. Hill and John D. McKee. Weekly Ministers’ Meetings. Rev.

By courtesy of the United States army officials he was invited Saturday to take | passage on the transport Hancock for the Philippines, and he at once arranged to have the marriage ceremony performed Sunday evening. Last night the happy pair were upon the high seas. Pietro Caronna comes from one of the oldest familles of Palermo, Italy, where he graduated in technical and vil en- gineering.

She was taken out of the brothel, she sald, against her wish or consent and by force, and she did not want to remain in the mission.

As Caronna is combining business in the interest of his Government with pleasure, the army autherities of this city request- ed him to accept passage for Manila on the Hancock. The marriage ceremony was performed | Sunday night at 10 o'clock by the Rev. W. | C. Shaw of tha Church of the Advent at | the home of the bride in Oakland.

PATTERSON LECTURES ON TEMPERANCE CAUSE Presbyterian Pastor Says Mrs. Na- tion’s Outbreak Is Setback to Enemies of Alcohol. A number of workers in the cause of temperance assembled in the lecture-room | of the Young Men's Christian Association | building last night and listened to a bril- | liant lecture on “The Drunkard's Broth- | er' by the Rev. C. J. Patterson, pastor of the Holly Park Presbyterian Church. The | epeaker showed a familiarity with the methods of workers in the cause of tem- perance, and his address was replete with | figures and statistics tending to prove the | best manner to overcome the evil. Dr. Patterson said he believed the out- | break of Mrs. Nation in Kansas set back | the efforts of the enemlies of intemperance indefinitely. Continuing the speaker said: “Ministers of 1he Gospel may differ con- siderably in their methods of overcoming the evil. What we want is a leadcr, one such as John B. Gough. I belleve that | God will raise up just such a one. De- spite our efforts 1 belleve that so long as rye. barley or the grape is ralsed there will be men who will abuse its use.

IF YOU would know | \ IMASON STREET HOUSE ROBBED Dolly Ogden Deprived of Cash and Jewelry While She Slesps. gt L Box Which Had Contained Money and Papers Found on Sidewalk by Neighboring Stors- keeper. i Dolly Cgden, keeper of a house at 32§ Mason street, has been robbed of consid- erable cein and a quantity.of jeweiry and is somewhat at a loss to name any one who would be guilty of the'crime. Her suspicions, however, are cast on a Chi- nese servant, who left her employ last Thursday. He secured leave to remain away from his work on the plea that he was not feeling well. Mrs. Ogden in- formed him at the time he complained of feeling sick that he could lay off until such time as he felt able to return to work, but it is now doubtful whether she will seek for him again other than through police channels. According to Mrs. Ogden, the robbery occurred between the hours of 4:30 and 7 a. m. yesterday under the most pecuMar circumstances. Mrs. Ogden retired at 4:30, but before doing so made certain that a tin box contzining three purses and sev- eral papers of value to herself was in its usual piace In the closet where she hung her clothes. She did not occupy her own room that night, sleeping with another woman in the house after assuring her- self that her valuables were safe. Shortly after 7 a. m. a man named Brown, who keeps a small store near by, found the tin box on the sidewalk In front of the house, broken open and rifled of everything but the papers. He immedi- ately rcused Mrs. Ogden informed her of her loss. She search her room and found that in addition to the three purses stolen the thief had rifled a drawer in her writing desk and taken a diamond sunburst valued at §1000, lorgnettes valued at $150 and a pearl chain valued at $100. In the drawer which was rifled was a valu- able chatelaine, a purse containing $60 and numerous other pleces of jewelry ‘| which were not taken. Mrs. Ogden said last night: “I would have no cause to suspect the Chinaman but for the fact that he was the only one who knew of the location of the tin box. He left me last Thursday, three days before the robbery, and to commit the crime he must have got into the house after we had retired. 1 always hang the keys to my room in the kitchen, found them there after the robbery Some time ago I was robbed by a Chinese boy, and the one whom I now suspect asked me before leaving if I had ever caught him.

The tin box contained also a certificate of deposit for a large amount, payment on which, however, has stopped. Larkin Confesses Burglary. Thomas Larkin was yesterday caught in the act of trying to dispose of mechanics’ tools, which were stolen from the Ex- celsior Wire Works store at 751 Mission street. The thief was negotiating for the sale of the goods when Officers James Regan and P. O'Connell of the Souther: station saw him and placed him under arrest. He confessed to the theft aud stated that he had entered the store from the roof of the Model lodging-house, ad- joining the place and gained an entrance through a window.
