Leroy Is Charged With Cruelty and Vagrancy. Holds Little Elmer Brown Out of Second Story Window * For Fun.” PREERT St One of the most worthless characters | ever caught in the police dragnet was | taken into custody yesterday on a war- rant charging cruelty to a minor. “Eric Harvey Leroy” is the name of the reature against whom the complaint was worn by Miss Mabel Turner of 2041 Eddy reet. Miss Turner, who resides with her mother at the above address, complained that Leroy had been in the habit of beat- ing four minokr children of Mrs. H. Brown, who resided in the rear of 204 Eddy street. On Wednesday last Leroy children, Eimer Brown, " n took one of th a pretty boy of 7 years, and held him out of a two- | story” window by ears, telling the child that he would do the same thing again *“to make him say his prayers.” A warrant was issued by Judge Mogan and bail was fixed at $500, and the war- rant was given to Officer McMurray of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty ! to Children. McMurray and Officer Cul- | lnane made a search of the tenderloin for Leroy yesterday afternoon and finally caught him in the house occupied by Mrs. Brown in the rear of 204% Eddy reet LEROY SHIRKS WORK. statements made by Leroy to the officers show that he is a despicable crea- shirking honest work and being | sported by the earnings of two hard- we '}\ ng women. y admitted that he had held Elmer out of the two-story window, but The d “‘he doing it for fun.” He also nitted that he had struck the children of Mrs. Brown, but that “he never hurt them.” ing to the evidence collected by of the Society for the Preven- of Cruelty to Children Mrs, Brown ot given pr care and attention her four children. The rah, aged 15 years, is supposed to have » away two weeks ago on account of e cruel treatment of Leroy. Mrs. Brown | told a conflicting story to the one given | by Leroy concerning the girl. Leroy admitted that the girl Sarah | might have run away on account of his | striking her, but Mrs. Brown claimed that | the girl was visiting friends in Oakland. She could not remember the name of the family and did not know their address. "he children—Mary, 10 vears old, and ner, ars—were questioned by the of- s, but it was evident that they had caref coached not to answer hey said that Leroy was their The fellow himself claimed that was no relative of Mrs. Brown, and fice been questions. ““uncle.” he y\v- woman later on !nld that Leroy was | “brother-in-law. EARN#D $50 IN A YEAR. Mrs. Brown says that her husband went to Alaska six vears ago and that she has not heard from him since. She denied that Leroy had treated her children cruel- put sald that Leroy was questioned by 1 that he roomed in the house a week. When he was asked where he roomed the balance of the week | he replied that he had a wife living at 501 Po street, but that though he was om her she gave him money rnings. further admitted rked steadily for that he had not long time, and that had not_earned since the firet of vear.

It was learned at 501 Post street that Leroy is known there, but that he never had a room there. USED INSULTING LANGUAGE. Miss Mabel Turner, who swore to the complaint_against Leroy, stated yester- hat Mrs. Brown's children had been aten constantly by the fellow. She said that both *her mother and herself eldest girl, | “he might have slapped | the arresting | officers before Mrs. Brown returned lf). ooms she occupied. Leroy stated that k many of his meals with Mrs. long | gainst him and to ask the courts | to give him the full penalty allowed by | FIRST ORANGES FROM THE NORTH Placer County Makes a Record for Early Ripening. ——— Golden Fruit Comes From the Whitney Ranch Near Rocklin. ——— Northern California has beaten the record in getting oranges early into mar- ket.

Alias Morris Beck- er, Held to Answer Before Superior Court. Jacob Silverman, allas Morris Becker, was held to answer before the Superior Court by Police Judge Mogan yesterday on a charge of robbery in $500¢ bonds. He is only 20 years of age nd has well-to- | do relatives in Seattle. ton, a miner, was in the dance hall at 519 Pacific street, and during the even- ing went to aroom in the rear. Silverman followed him and, placing the muzzie of a revolver | Eggleston's abdomen, ordered him | to throw up his hands. Eggleston obeyed, but one of his arms dropped and | Silverman, shoving the muzzle of the | revolver into his mouth, sald, “Nope of | that, now; throw up your hands or I'll | blow your head off.” Eggleston was relieved of his watch and chain and Silverman ran out of the dance hall. Eggleston gave the alarm and Po- liceman Robl, who happened to be in the neighborhood, chased and captured Sil- | verman, who had the stolen watch and chain in his possession. had warned Leroy as to his conduct and he made insulting replies. Charles Brown, the 13-year-old son of Mrs. Brown, was arrested a few days ago on a charge of petty larceny. With and 'stole some money from a till. The e is now before the Juvenile Court. “This man,” said Miss Turner, “is a worthless character. He has hung around Mrs. Brown's rooms morning, noon and night and does not work. He has beaten her children constantly and it finally be- a ccmplaint against him to the police and | swear to a warrant. When he held the we thought he would drop the child and kill it.” Leroy as a claims that he formerly worked window cleaner and that he had studied medicine. Mrs. Brown said that she had known Leroy for some years and that he had studied medicine for years at the Cooper College. Investiga- tion proved both statements to be false. CHILDREN ARE COACHED. That the children of Mrs, Brown had been carefully coached not to speak to strangers was evident By their attitude esterday when Léroy was arrested. The girl, Mary, warned Leroy not “to talk { 80 much’” while he was heing questioned by the officers, and little Elmer said that “uncle only held me out of the window obliged to do the cooking and washing for the entire family and that they were only sent to school in the last few days, | after complaints had been made to the | mother. Mrs. Brown works as a | when th | teraay, the ner while > “boy chopping wood for the stove, n from her she made a scene by declaring she would not be separated from them. She begged the officers to would look after them and not allow Le- roy to come to her house again. Leroy was taken to the City night in default of $500 bail.
