She éxplained the method to Judge Mogan yesterday. Nine little chil- dren all in a row, four of whom were little girls, invaded the back yard at- tached to the domicile of which Mrs. Peck and her family occupy the upper portion. The woman in the lower flat suffered the littie ones to play in the back wvard without molestation, but Mrs. Peck resented the intrusion and descending in her wrath on the youngsters caught hold of a little girl and slapped her soundly. “I gave her | a good, hard slapping,” she told Judge | Mogan.

George Beattie, white, and Arthur Cotton, colored, two youths with preco- ciously developed criminal instincts, were bound over to the Superior Court by Judge Conlan yesterday in bonds of $2000 on the charge of burglary. They are accused of breaking into a gun stone on Sanscme street, but were ap- prehended before they secured any booty.

Fright- ened at his deed, he sought medical as- sistance unsuccessfully, and finally came to the police station and said that he had stabbed his wife and feared sht‘: was going to die.

When the case came | up for preliminary hearing the first| time the Judge asked the wife if she was in earnest in her intention to pros- | ecute her husband.

One witness said they were baby blue, another vowed they were pink, the defendant swore they were cream-colored and now the co-respond- ent in the case comes forward and de- clares they weré red. Judge Murasky and unless the sald pajamas are brought into court and marked “Ex- hibit A” more testimony must be intro- | duced to prove who wore them. Myrtle Rosedale, a chorus girl with soulful black eyes, a retrousse nose and a charming lisp, denied that Ira Puerl Wilkerson presented them to her. She claims she bought them and wore them phrey, who represents Maud Amber (Mrs. Wilkerson) in the divorce prn-‘ ceedings, tried hard yesterday to prove the original ownership of the pajamas, | but Miss Rosedale was too wary. There was a select audience in Judge Murasky's courtroom yesterday to see the performance. The Wilkerson di- | vorce suit has the elements of a trag- | edy and a farce. Puerl Wilkerson is the | heavy villain, and Maud Amber, the | statuesque song queen at Fischer's, is | the muchly abused heroine. When the | curtain went up yesterday morning the critics occupied orchestra seats and en- | joyed the play hugely. Judge Murasky fulfilled the position of stage manager | and allowed no waits. Attorney A. S.| Newbergh played the Hebrew come- | dian, and Attorney Humphrey assumed the role of the inquiring relative.

HONOLULU, Dec. 14.—Ex- Agricul- tural Commissioner Wray Taylor, w ho} was indicted last Mareh for the alleged | embezzlement of $800 of Government | money, has been heard from. Taylor went to California early in the year on | official business, and after visiting a number of agricultural officials was not heard of again. An inquiry disclosed that he had disappeared and that he| was short in his accounts as Agricul- tural Commissioner. His indictment followed. A letter just received here from Epi copal Bishop Restarick of Hawaii says that Taylor visited the Bishop while the latter was in New York. Taylor said that he had been home to Epgland, | but could not recall making the trip. | His mird was a blank from the Ume’ he was in San Francisco until he was with relatives in England. Taylor's story finds many believers here. He could have been an embezzler for a large amount had he been so inclined, | as his career had been one of trust. | He was organist for the Anglican Fathers. His brother, who is said to have experienced a similar lapse of memo died here recently. | NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
