Considerable taken in the suit from the fact Mc- Allon while testifying in court alleged that at”the marrled to MecAllon on January 18, 1901, a hypnotic spelil. McAllon she sald had repeatediy hyp- notized her and had made her do silly things such as eat soap in the belief interest was that M time she was in San Jose she was under that it was candy and fish for trout in | a cuspidor. Dr. J.

In her complaint Mrs. McAllon ad- mitted that at the time she was mar- ried to McAllon she had a_ husband from whom she had not been divorced, | and the Judge in giving his decision | orally yesterday said it was not-neces- sary for him to go into the question ! of hypnotism, as the woman's previous marriage was sufficient to annul her | marriage to McAllon. The question, therefgre, of what ef- | fect hypnotism would ave in dis- | olving the marital ties remains unde- —_————— Skiff - Overturns. Thomas Fitzpatrick and John Stack. accompanied by a -two-gallon demi- john of whisky, hired a skiff yaster- day afternoon to view the city from the bay. Nothing unusual occurred until Folsom-street wharf was reach- ed and then one of the men, desirous of enjoying a deep sea motion, vio- rocked ‘the skiff from side to gide. The craft overturned and Stack and Fitzpatrick were cast -into. the water. , A sailor from ‘the transport Thomas saved the amateur mariners " | from a watery grave. The men were | then turned over to the harbor police and later conveyed to the City Prison. Sergeant Lackman and Turnkey John Coghlan divested them of their wet garments and provided warm blan- kets for them. —_———— Injured by Explosion. C.

The organization was formed ten vears ago and the members have al- ways entertained their friends annual- ly with a dance and a banquet. This| year the sick list of members has been a very large one, and for that reason it was decided to give a public benefit to raise funds. The traveling men will certainly give | the public full value for its money, judging by the programme that has been prepared for next Wednesday's entertainment. There will be a grand minstrel show participated in by the traveling men, and they promise to discount anything !in that line ever seen. w. elect, of Paris, J.

SRR R e SEE THE PICTURES JUST WATCH FOR THE FRONT PAGE \ OF THE SUNDAY CALL'S NEW YEAR EDITION — CLERK MAHONY FURNISHES BAIL Surrenders Himself Into Cus- tody and Goes Through —_— {HE HAD TIME TO FLEE i 00 O | Bench Warrant Was Not Is- | . sued Until After He Appeared | in Court and Gave Bond 7 Lok ST | County Clerk Albert B. Mahony is :vunder a $5000 bond to answer the | charge of felony. Accompanied by his | mother and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Har- | | ry Mahony, the indicted official visited | | Presiding Superior Judge Murasky's | :(omt yesterday morning, and the two | women were accepted as his sureties in | the bail suggested by District Attorney | Byington. Then the formality of issu- | ll ing an order of arrest and releasing him { was gone through, and Mahony was in full enjoyment of the personal lib- erty of which he had not been deprived. | The indictment against Mahony was | | returned about 5 o'clock Wednesday | afternoon and presented to Judge Mu- | rasky, and at the request of the Dis- { trict Attorney the Judge fixed the bail at $5000. But no warrant was issued, and if Mahony had known of his in- | dictment and had desired to elude its | | consequences he had all night to devote | | to fulfillment of that desire. When | questioned on this point ' yesterday Judge Murasky said that if the Dis- trict Attorney had regarded the case as | | one demanding immediate action he | would probably have asked that a| hench warrant be issued and served as | goon as possible; or he might have done | =0 if he had known that the morning | newspapers were aware of the indict- ment and intended to publish it. | At any rate the County Clerk’s slum- | bers Wednesday night were not dis-| turbed by any one from the Sheriff's office under instructions to arrest him, and he s that the first notification | of his indictment was presented to him in the columns of the first newspaper | he looked at yesterday morning. Then | he rallied his sureties and hastened to court. The case has not yet heen assigned for | trial, but that will probably be done; | to-morrow. District Attorney Byington | hopes to have the matter before a jur_\" early in January, although it is likely | that the defendant will not be called | to court before his term has expired, on | | January 7. Mahony declines to state| { what his defense will be further llmnj | to asseverate that so long as he is in | | office he will make his subordinates at- tend to their duties, which is inter- | preted to mean that he may claim to; possess a right to “dock” the salaries | of employes who are negligent. | —_—— | TWO MEN ASSAULT AND TRY | TO STEAL A SAILOR'S COIN ‘\ | David Collins Is Told to Give Up His Coin and Is Hit With a Blackjack. David Collins, a sailor living at the | Sailors’ Home, w walking a!ong‘ Spear street shortly before 2 o'clock | yesterday morning and when turning | the corner of Harrison street two | men approached him and one of them ordered him to throw up his hands. | “We want all the money, you've, got,” said the footpad, and when| Colling declined to throw up his hands | the other footpad struck him on the head with a “blackjack,” knocking him down. One of them jumped upon him and Collins cried for help. Collins’ cries were heard by E. R.| Steinwand, a mail carrier, and he| drove in the direction of the sound. | When the two footpads saw the wag- | | on approaching they ran away. Stein- wand assisted Collins into his wagon | | and drove him to the Harbor Emer- | gency Hospital, wheré a wound in his | scalp was stitched and dressed. He| | was able to give a description of the | men. —_——————— Metropolitan Buslness College. R. H. Webster, ex-Supt.

SARAH ROGERS TELLS OF ASSAULT BY MARSHALL Claims That Race Track Man Beat and Bruised Her Without Provocat luma Agrees to Prov ion---Hargreaves of Peta- ide in Future for Child Sarah Rogers, widow of “Ducksy” Rosenbaum, who is one of the well-known characters of the city, appeared in Judge Conlan’s court yes- terday, gorgeously appareled, to tell her version of the assault which she claims was made on her at Larkin | street and Pacific avenue a week ago | by Louis F. Marshall, a race track ha- | bitue. Mrs. Rogers told the court that as she was walking along on her way home with her arms full of packages Marshall struck her and knocked her down. When she arose he knocked her down a second time and kicked her | in the back of the head.. She arose | jagain and was felled for the third/| tinie, she claimed. George Marshall, she said, was present and begged his | brother to desist after the first assault, but his pleas availed nothing. Alfred Friefz testified that he saw the corner and one of them was a woman. He could not identify any of the combat- ants. The defense offered no testimony, merely cross-examining Mrs. Rogers. She denied that she had struck Mrs. Louis Marshall at the race track. She“ admitted that she had shook her fist | in the face of Marshall's wife, and | when asked why she did that an-| swered that it was because Louis Mar- shall was the biggest thief in Amer- ica. Further hearing of the case went over until December 30. . 5w e Samuel Hargreaves, the Petaluma real estate dealer, who persistently de- | clined to contribute to the support of | his 10-year-old child. has been con- verted to a better view of his marital affairs under the skillful guidance of | Judge Mogan. His wife appeared in { court yesterday and told the Judge that the husband had given the little girl $10 for Christmas and had made other provisions that were highly sat- isfactory. Accordingly the charge of failing to provide for the little girl was dismissed. { | . Angelina Archibald will have to an- swer before the Superior Court for grand larceny and until she manages to secure bail in the sum of $2000 will languish in jail. Such was the de- cigion of Judge Mogan after he had listened to the cause yesterday. An- gelina is a half-breed Indian who abandoned the peaceful wickiup for a career of crime in the centers of civilization. A miner from Arizona made her acquaintance and it cost him $420, which she filched from his]| pocket. During her hearing in court :she reviled the Judge and bailiffs and her removal to jail gave much relief | to the overstrained officials. ‘William H. Owens, who was arrest- ed, together with Harry Howard, for ;e i the robbery of William Little in a sa- loon at 760 Market street, was held to | appear before the Superior Court yes- | terday by Judge Mogan. Owens is a | Missouri farmer and was exonerated by Hbward of complicity in the crime. The Judge said he was inclined to believe the accused man innocent, but he| thought it better to have him tried h}' a jury of his peers. If he were acquit- ted by them the vindication would be greater and the incident would leave no | | stain on his future life. William Hall has been making a | nuisance of himseif among the private residences on Stanyan street. He would apply for alms on the plea that he wished to get money to go to his moth- er in Los Angeles. When he was re- fused money he became abusive and in- sistent. The assistance of a policeman | was secured finally and Hall was taken | to jail. He apveared before Judge Mo- gan yesterday and was sentenced to the County Jail for thirty days. In ad- dition he received a tobasco roast de- livered in the Judge's best style, which may cause him to think better of a beggar's career when he is at liberty again. et e "Thomas Hill, colored, and Fred Tuck- er, a white man, were sentenced to six months and three months, respectively, by Judge Mogan yesterday on the charge of vagrancy. They are ‘‘strong arm” men and have been infesting | Third and Market streets for a month. | Last Saturday night they robbed an old man of $1 and managed to lose him be- fore they ¢ould be apprehended. More- over they succeeded in inducing James | Hoffman, the beautiful young man who tends to the cigarette department of the Bohemian cigar stand, to give them $2 in exchange for three quarters and two dimes. “Handsome Jim” was on the witness stand to tell his troubles to a sympathizing court. During his examination he tried to get fresh, and the Judge warned him to preserve a reasonable degree of dignity, otherwise he would be committed to jail for con- tempt. Judge Mogan didn’'t want to be called “k-1-d” in open court. R Bailiffs Mahoney and Hickey of Judge Mogan’s court will enjoy Christmas cheer at the expense of the enlightened jurist who presides over the. tribunal. After the sheep and the goats had been properly separated béfore the seat of judgment and were sent on their way to freedom or given the punishment the laws provide for the wrongdoers, the bailiffs were called before the bar of justice. To them Judge Mogan deliv- ered sentence that each must take a big turkey home, have it properly pre- pared and eat as much of it as the re- mainders of the families could not con- tain on Christmas day. The sentence was received in silence by the defend- ants. - . Back in Sweden the Henz family is not on the most peaceable terms with the Ericksons. That little matter of Eric discovering America before Chris- topher Columbus ever thought about it has always been an irritating issue be- tween the tribes. Accordingly, when Charles Henz came across Eric Erick- gon on Clay street Wednesday night he sorely battered the son of Eric the Brave. Henz was before Judge Con- lan yesterday on the felony charge of assault with intent to do great bodily NWarm and was instructed as to his rights. His victim is lying out at the . City and County Hospital, done up in splints like an Indian baby, with sev- | Beach, | prices. { erakdbroken ribs and other injuries as | a result of the mix-up. County "Jail. tangled himself up with booze, which | at last stingeth like an adder. He came voluntarily before Judge Caban- ment. The Judge was so astonished at the request that he neariy fell back- ward on a couple of old women on the prisoners’ bench. *“Charles,” he finally managed to remark, “I hardly know what to do in your case. Unless you are charged with a crime, I can't send you to jail. Suppose you Visit the bond and warrant clerk's office and ask them to issue a John Doe warrant on the charge of being drunk in a pub- lic place. Then hand it to the ser- geant of police downstairs and point yourself out as the man who is want- ed.” Jones went forth in hLir quest, but the bond and warrant clerk re- fused to issue the necessary paper. Jones fai-d in his attempt to break into jail, but some merciful policeman Christmas has waned. ————— CONTRIBUTES MONEY TO CONSCIENCE FUND Edwin Goodall Voluntarily Pays a Fine Because He Killed Too Many Ducks. Deputy Fish Commissioner J. M. Tungate arrested George Chapman and Charles Wyman for shooting at night near San Pedro. They were taken before Justice Breyton of Long where they were convicted and fined $25 each, which they paid. A. at Long Beach. His case comes up for trial on December 28. Edwin Goodall, a member of the Teal Shooting Club in Solano Coun- ty, finding that he had killed more than fifty ducks, went voluntarily be- fore Justice A. F. Hitchcock at Sui- sun, pleaded guilty for exceeding the bag limit on ducks and contributed $25 to the ‘“conscience fund.” The Fish Commission hope that Mr. Good- all's good example will make many converts. £ Deputy Fish Commissioners M. L. Cross and J. C. Ingalls seized six dozen quail and seventy-five ducks in the California poultry market, conducted by Pierre Chige, who will have to an- swer Saturday before Judge Fritz for offering quail for sale and having more than fifty ducks in his posses- sion in one calendar da; e — Fire Commissioners Meet. The Fire Commissioners held their regular meeting yesterday. Chief Sul- livan notified the board that the Spring Valley Water Company had for a twelve-inch main on Bryant street, between Fourth and Ninth, in the mill district, where the present | mains are too small to afford adequate protection. On recommendation of the Chief Engineer the matter will be brought to the attention of the Supervisors. Captain H. H. Gorter was granted a leave of six months to assist in building the water tower at Los An- | geles. Hereafter all members and em- ployes of the Fire Department who either sell or assign salary demands will have charges brought against them. J.

Ray Harrison, plaintiff in the action for divoree brought some weeks ago against Mahlon C. Harrison, a weil known maritime broker, filed an afi- davit yesterday in which she denied that she has been spending money: since the action was commen on diamond rings and Indian baskets, as cHarged by her husband. The affidavit was filed in conmection with proceed- ings for alimony pomlvr: the sult Judge Kerrigan made an order direct- ing Harrison to pay his wife $150 a month, $500 counsel fees and $500 for her immediate expenses. Lillian M. Clark,” who ‘was married to Harry A. Clark in November, 1900, wants a divorce on the groand of cruel- ty. She dates -her unhappiness from July, 1901, when. she says, while - and her husband were at a garden party in Bakersfleld, he struck her a vicious blow in the face, rendering, he unconscious for three hours. On s eral occasions since then, she alleges, he has beaten her and called her vile and opprobrious names. She wants a divorce, permission to resume her maid- en name, Pohley, and $75 a month all- mony. Interlocutory decrees of divorce were granted to Alice Benjamin from Louls Benjamin, a commercial traveler, for desertion; Archie Lee Sweeney from Beatrice Sweeney for desertion. Myrtle M. Smith from Clayton C. Smith for cruelty and Miriam Bernard from Ken- neth L. Bernard for desertion. Though Georgina Johnstone succeed- ed in securing a setting aside of her default in the divurce proceedings brought against her by James John- stone and thus got a chance to appear and contest the suit, she did not profit thereby. Judge Murasky heard the suit yesterday and for the second time gave a decree to Johnstone. Judge Seawell refused to grant Lelia A Parker a divoree from Jullus A. Park: She failed to produce evidence show- ing that she was entitled to a decree on the ground of desertion. A suit'for divorce on the ground of cruelty was filed by Margaret Nygren against John E. Nygren. —_———————— FIREMEN TO GIVE MATINEE TO-DAY OF EXCITING SCENES Big Demand for Seats for Benefit Necessitates an Extra Performance.

Owing to the big sale of seats for the night performances of the thrill- ing fire scenes the committee in charge of the benefit desires to give its friends an extra opportunity of witnessing the work of the firemen by holding the extra afternoon per= formance.
