The court-martial organized to try Cap- tain W. F. Hancock, Artillery Corps, on charges of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, met yesterday morning at the Presidio. The specific charges against Captain | Hancock were that on the morning of Ocy | tober 12 he appeared in a drunken candi- tion on the public streets of the city, and, after being arrested, acted in the City Prison in a disorderly manner. In the morning, after being discharged, he was rearrested for using profane language in | the Hall of Justice, The judge advocate, Captain Frank McIntyre, Nineteenth Infantry, appeared to prosecute the charges against the ac- cused, and Captain W. K. Wright, Sev- enth Infantry, appeared for Captain Han- cock. The court-martial was made up as fol- el Jacob B. Rawles, president, Artillery Lieutenant Colonel George S. Grimes, y_ Corps; Lieutenant Colonel John 7. ale, Seventh Infantry; Major Henry S. Kilbourne, surgeon, United States army; Major Charles A. Booth, Seventh- Infantry; Joseph Garrard, Ninth Cavalry: Major Charles Major Benjamin W. Hobbs, Artillery H. Randolph, Artille Ducat, Seventh Infantry;: Todd, "4 Corps; Captain John V. White, Artiliery Captain Lester W. Cormsh, Ninth Cavairy: Captain Julius A. Pemn, venth Infantry, and Captain Frank Mecln- re, Nineteenth Infantry, judge advocate. ACTS AS ONE DRUGGED. Captain Hancock pleaded not guilty to | the charges preferred against him. Policeman Daniel Lyons, who made the arrest, on the morning of October 12, tes- tified that he found the accused at Geary and Taylor streets and arrested him for | drunkenness. The captain was in civilian dress. On cross-examination the witness said that, as far as he could judge, the officer was under the influence of liquor and not a drug. On the other hand, Policeman John Dougherty, who took the accused to the City Prison,” admitted that Captain Han- cock acted as one who had been drugged or in just such a way as is noticeable in those who have been given “knockout drops.” Dougherty continued to say that many persons were arrested and booked as | drunk when they- were actually suffering | from sickness or the effects of some drug. Sergeant Melody testified that when booking the captain he was ignorant that he was an army officer. ACCUSED WAS IRRITATED. Policeman J. C. Edwards, who arrested the accused for alleged disturbance of the peace, when the latter, after being dis- | charged, asked for his belongings, which had been taken from him on being brought | to the prison, admitted that he, Edwards, was not in very good humor that morning and that probably the rearrest of the cap- tain was due to that fact. The captain may have been irritated. Edwards adinit- ted that any other morning the accused would have been able to get his property, but everything was locked up on Sunday mornings. Accused was dismissed when | tried for disturbing the peace. Policeman William J. J. Shaw admitted that there was no testimony presented to the Tolice Court to show that the ac- cused soldier had been drunk. The testimony generally tended to sup- e the memory of the diScOVerer | port the theory that Captain Hancock had | been the victim of “knockout drops,” or some other drug administered to him. His manner, it was admitted, favored the con- clusion that he had been the victim of a drug. The court went into private session af- ter the testimony had been heard and the decision arrived at will be submitted to Major General Hughes, commander of the Department of California. It will be several days before the find- ing will be made public. BOARD HONORS MEMORY OF FATHER McKINNON Supervisors Adjourn Out of Respect to Dead Priest and Will At- tend His Funeral.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1902. FIREMEN BEAT THE ~COPPERS™ Rally in the Ninth Inning and Bat in Winning Run. Benefit Ball Game Proves a Great Financial Success. il IO e The city’s finest are going to take an | excursion to the tall sea weeds. They | have to do it. There is no alternative. | Nine have been found guilty and the rest | must suffer. The nine culprits thought they were some pumpkins, and took one | chance against the men who do the | quenching act at fires. The strife was | pulled oft on the diamond and the knights | of the hose downed the coppers, 4 to 3. It was one great game for the sake of | sweet charity. More than 4000 people climbed into the stands and bleachers and rooted like the genuine Camanche tribe. The cops started with a rush, but grad- ually Became tame and were just nosed out at the finish. The game was for the benefit of the | widow of the late Henry Heffernan, who was killed several weeks ago during a practice drill. Both the policemen and the firemen had worked faithfully for the success of the game and by their splendid efforts they raised the snug sum of for Mrs. Heffernan and her children. Maaager Dougherty of the Fire Depart- | ment was a happy man last night. It ‘was he who conducted the affair and sold more than 1000 tickets. He was more than astonished when he beheld the immense crowd at -Recreation Park as he was keep many away. Great cheering was done when the fire fighters went to the bat in the first in- ning. They had their lamps on “Scis- sors” Birdsall and said on the quiet that | they would make him look like small change. But the cop handed out-a sur- prise and the firemen could not do a thing. The guardians of the peace came wup | for their first licks and immediately pro- ceeded to hit out a few of Fireman Fitz- | patrick’s offerings. They went right af- | ter the old professional and hammered { in a run. Then things went along smoothly till the third when the firemen became wise for awhile and amid a great round of ap- | plause tied up the score. | The coppers came back strong in the | fifth and while the firemen were looking | for ladders with which to get up after | the high ones two tallies came in. This | did not affect the firemen at all. They | were game and in the sixth, while Bird- | sall end Hammil were giving the high | sign for the wagon, two of the hose- wielders hit the pan, tying up the score, They fought on like real fighters till the | ninth round came around. There is where the firemen did the genuine strong act and after two were out they got after Birdsall and batted in the winning run. Meacham outin center field for the fire- men proved a wonder. He played like an | old professional and surprised the cop- | pers. “Bug” O'Dea at second for the bluecoats seemed to enjoy doing a sum- mersault act all by himself and the rest | of the bunch had lots of fun watching | him perform.
