It seemed, how- that in later cases the general that the indictment need only follow the had exceptions. In the case decided by the Supreme Court last month there was little qu s iclent, but the judgment had not become final, as a petition had been filed for a rehearing. He would there- | prefer to postpone his decision {on the motion till there was a final | judgment in the case referred to by the Supreme Court. The matter was continued till next Saturday. —_———— Alleged Counterfeiter Caught. Another alleged counterfeiter has fallen into the clutches of United ‘&[ah‘s Secret Service Detective George | W. Hazen. His name is Eric Blade, | and he was caught at Truckee, where he had been disposing of counterfeit | quarter dollar pieces by playing them | in the slot machines, which yielded up | good money for bad—sometimes. The |arrest was made by Constable | Schiumpf, who found ten of the bad | quarters in Blade’s pockets. A Dep- uty United States Marshal was sent | up after Blade yesterday.

GER GOES Judge Cabaniss Hears Testimony Regarding Re- ported Peculations of Former Soldier—Alleged | Ohinese Perjurer, as Usual, Escapes Conviction | I BEFORE POLICE TRIBUNAL | i | | | Captain George T. Ballinger, who | commanded Company A of the fighting | First Regiment of California Volun- | teers dtring its arduous and sucoess- | ful campaign in the Philippines, was in Judge Cabaniss’ court yesterday on a felony embezzlement charge. He is accused of embezzling $4376 from the California Art Glass Works, where for many years he was a trusted bookkeeper and cashier. At the out- break of the Spanish war Ballinger was a second lieutenant in the State militia. His employers gave him per-| mission to go to the Philippines with his regiment, and he covered himself with glory, returning as a captain. Dur- ing his wartime career his employers, at the suggestion of William Schroeder, the president of the glass works, con- tinued his salary at the same rate as if he had been performing his accustomed duties. When Ballinger returned to this city he was given his old position, and his employers trusted him so implicitly that they never had his books exam- ined. Reports of extravagant expendi- tures finally awakened their suspicions, and when an expert accountant was called ‘in it was found that Ballinger called in it was found, that Ballinger counts. Ballinger says he is in business, and yesterday through his attorney, Walter Gallagher, insisted on a speedy hear- ing. He claims he is innocent of wrong- doing and can prove his assertion. At present he is at liberty on bail. He says that he has started a business in oppo- sition to the Art Glass Company, resentment at this caused his arrest. e el ~e Huey Guey, a name that sounds like rice too much boiled in a Chinese res- taurant, was dismissed on a charge of perjury vesterday by Judge Mogan. He happened along, as most Chinese wit- nes: do, in a case of grand larceny preferred against Ju Lim. Huey Guey was willing to testify that he saw the larceny committed. A gold and ebony celet was the matter in question. the charge of grand larceny was preferred in Judge Lawlor's court Huey Guey ¢ for perjury, because his testimony was evidently manufactured to suit the oc- casion. As a matter of fact, Ju Lim was innocent of the theft and was ‘When S brought back from San Jose merely to | ark for the highbinders. failure of corroborating wit- accountable for the dis- Huey Guey.

It might be well to secure a Chinese | interpreter who can find a memory when needed. - . Ben Michaels, who is accused of trying to take a Washington farmer down the line to the extent of $1500, was before Judge Conlan yesterday. Previously the defendant had been nissed by Judge Fritz for lack of of. The complaining witness is Wade ¥. Copenhaven, who wished to for- sake the ain country of the far rorth for the glitter and light of a theatr! life. Michaels promised to show him and did so. Copenhaven vanted to be shown. There was a shadowy apparition named Stanton that collected two rolls of greenbacks from the two men on the belief that he had a theater for disposal. Michaels claims to have given Stanton $1500 in money of the United States and says he was victim- ized to that amount. Copenhaven gave a like amount to Stanton and has since been shvy the money. Stanton has been an uncatchable butterfly as far as the police are concerned and has winged his way afar with the $2000 tucked snugly under his wing. Michaels may or may not be guilty of complicity in the theft of $1500 from Copenhaven, but the police think he is guilty, and after he was dismissed by Judge Fritz another war- rant was sworn out and the case was transferred to Judge Caban: court. The hearing was continued until Sat- urday. B. A. Galvin is not such a fighter as his name would indicate. When he went to a Howard-street restau- rant and objected to the tenor of a hamburg that was served him Joseph | Lubach, Joseph Wassercrook, A. M. Micklen and Esther Wassercrook jumped him and almost won the fight. Galvin managed to get the de- | cision, however, but a policeman came along and took him into custody. He was convicted in Judge Mogan's court yesterday on a charge of bat- tery, mainly because he sent a soup dish sailing into a woman's face. His | sentence will come off Monday. | . * B ! Peter Albert was sentenced to six | months in Oakland by Judge Fritz yesterday. Bailiff Conlan pleaded hard for clemency, but the Judge | was obdurate. o0 over there and taste the mercy of Judge Quinn,” said | the magistrate. “Perhaps he will straighten you up. Never let me see your face again.” | The prisoner, who recently lett the County Hospital and was celebrating his recovery, wept heavily at the sen- tence, but the Judge refused to remit any part of it. . . | William Hansche is a prowler of | deep waters.

Hansche returned to his lodgings |and secureda revolver, capped and paper cartridge—loaded as in the days of old. He was looking for the swatter, but he found him not. In- stead he found a policeman, who placed him under arrest. The charge was exhibiting a deadly weapon in a rude and threatening manner.

On this showing he was dismissed by Judge Cabaniss yes- terday. ¥ o e ideniils George A. Jackson, who married Annie McLane and then quit her to marry Mabel Nutting, because the lat- ter was more able to support him by her laundry work, was held for big- amy in Judge Fritz’ court yesterday in bonds of $2000. He claims he mar- \rled his first wife while drunk. The | second Iittle girl is clinging to him | like an ivy to a board house: Some Superior Court will have to adjudicate the case, but if it were left in Judge Fritz's hands Jackson would certainly get what was coming to him. e Mary Wall County Jail only last Thursday. she arrived in the haunts of pleasure, | which to her mean some saloons on Howard street, blocked by Third and | Fourth, she came to her own agajn. It was a wild night from her stand- point and a policeman was obliged to | take her into custody to preserve the { peace and dignity of the neighbor- hood. Her story wrought upon the sympathies Judge Fritz and Ne allowed her to go with a twenty-four-hour sentence in the City Prison and a warning that any culminative excesses in her line would be viewed with extreme dis- pleasure by the court and a corre- sponding penalty imposed. { ——————————— Decline to Hear Witnesses. The Police Commissioners met yes- terday afternoon and listened to a re- quest made by Attorneys Barrett, Dib- ble and Carpenter, representing the Chinese Consul, that the board should hear the testimony of witnesses they desire to produce to refute the testi- | mony given by Policemen Brodt and Kramer and others regarding the ar- | and subsecuent suicide of Tom | rest Kim Yung, military attache at Wash- ington of the Chinese legation September.

From { , Operating Their Quarry. ‘, Mayor Schmitz yesterday affixed his ‘slgnalure to the resolution adopted by | the Board of Supervisors repealing a | | former permit granted to the San Francisco Brick Company to expiode blasts on block 14 of the Castro-street Addition. The measure will prevent Gray Bros., who compose the company, from carry- ing on rock crushing operations on the block named. Two other ordinances extending the limits within which blasting is prohibited have been passed to print and will come up for final pas- sage at to-morrow’s meeting. The limits will include the block upon which Gray Bros. intended to operate. In the opinion of some of the Super- visors, the original permit granted to the firm is of no effect because it did not file a bond in that connection in accordance with a ‘general ordlnance regulating blasting.
