The woman applied for a warrant for the arrest of Joseph Carissi and Frank | Besifia on the charge of felony em- bezzlement, and stated In substantia- tion of her complaint that they had stolen from her apartment at 8 Pres- cott Court about $200 worth of jew- elry and were about to sail for Alaska with the proceeds of their plunder. Her story was told with all earnesiness, and she would probably have secured the desired warrant if an attorney had not dashed fnto court and protested against its issuance on the ground that the woman had trumped up the charge for the sole purpose of punishing Besilia by preventing his departure to the northern fisheries. Sharp questioning of the woman by the Judge elicited the information that while her husband was held to an- swer in the Federal court on a charge of counterfeiting she had been the com- panion of Besilia, who finally tired of her and decided to go to Alaska. With the traditional fury of the wbman scorned, she determined to avenge her abandonment, and with that end In view she sent Besllia to deposit her jewels in a safety vault and then sought to have him arrested and de- tained for stealing them. “It’s lucky for you, madame,’ sald the Judge, as he tore up the woman's “that these facts came to light before you succeeded in having the man arrested, else you would find yourgelf in more serious trouble than you are trying to bring upon him.” A tale of attempted bribery of a wit- ness was unfolded by Mary Hughes to Judge Mogan and impelled the court to continue the case of William Nolan, alias William Bray, charged with high- way robbery. There are two complaints against Né- lan, each of them sworn to by a wo- man. On the night of April 13 Annle Reinshager of 460 Geary street was waylald and robbed of a small sum of. money by a man, and the follow- ing night Mary Hughes of 15 Powell street was similarly treated. Each of | the women has identified Nolan as her assaflant. When the case was on hear- ing yesterday Mrs. Hughes showed such reluctance to testify that the Judge took her in hand and forced her to state that on two occasions she had been approached with an offer of money to induce her to abstain from prosecuting Nolan. One of the pro- posels was made by a light complex- foned man and the other by a man of swart countenance. Each of them visited her room and offered to pur- chase her silence for $30, a half of which she was to give to the other prosecutrix. The bribe was refused, and then she was requested to stay away from court until arrangements could be made to raise the bid. “The case is continued,” said the Judge, “as I am satisfied that an effort is afoot to purchase the silence or per- vert the testimony of (witnesses for the prosecution. I want the police to inves- | tigate the matter and arrest the would- | to bribe givers. All the witnesses in the case are now requested to aid in the capture and punishment of any person that tries to corrupt them by offering money. It is the duty of a witness thus approached to follow the person who tempts him and point him out to-a police officer, who will do the rest.” The witnesses in the case of the peo- ple vs. Nolan looked very serious as they filed out of court. . “Won't you please let my papa go— mamma and I need him at home?” said | a blue-eyed little girl to the officer that was escorting Judge Fritz's allotment of accused from the jail to the court- rocam. “I can’t let him go, my dear,” was the bluecoat’s kindly answer; “only the Judge can do that.” Tears suffused the blue eves, and with a sob the child ran to one of the prisoners, a rather decent looking man, who stooped and kissed her. Then she grasped his unmanacled hand and clung to it caressingly until they ar- rived at the. barred inclosure, where the officer tenderly released her clutch and placed the man in the cage. When that was done he went up to the bench and whispered something to the Judge, who glanced at the weeping child and nodded approvingly. Then the father was taken ot of the “pen” and per- mitted to sit beside the little one. It was a case of failure to provide, and the defendant told of how inability to obtain employment had led to de- | spondency and drink. He was penitent. “Take your baby and go home,” said the Judge. “If you were really a neg- lectful father the child would not be o fond of you.” . Miss Maud Dalton attained her —— | birthday last Friday, and to clothe | her celebration of the event with | proper eclat she enlisted the aid of | Miss Violet Wood, than whom there is {not a more competent planner and | director of attractive functions among | the entlre smart set of Barbary Coast | society. The two ladies put their heads together and after considering | and rejecting a number of novel ideas | finally decided upon the time-honored | dance and supper as the form of en- | tertainment that would be most likely | to find favor with the greatest num- | ber of their friends. But as time did |mot allow of notification of these | friends by letter, M Dalton and Miss Wood salli\d forth afoot to deliver the { invitations Yerbally. The task necessi- | tated their - visiting several places wherein alcoholic stimulants were dis:. pensed, and to that fact may be at tributed the failure of the proposed birthday party to eventuate. Miss Dalton and Miss Wood were arrested for disorderly conduct on Pacific street, their specific offense being the Jjostling of all persons, irrespective of sex, who attempted to pass them on | the sidewalk. They had cast into the gutter quite 2 number of the most prominent residents of the distriet ere the policeman stopped their fun. | along Pinckney alley last Friday even- That's how Miss Dalton explained the case to Judge Mogan, vesterday morning, and so deeply Impressed was his Honor by the pathos of the narra- tive that he continued the case till next Wednesday, by which time the defendants hope to have sufficient testimony to convince him that their imprisonment would convey to the up- per stratum of Barbary Coast society a deprivation most cruel. v e . Stealing bread was the charge against Thomas Wilson and the com- | plainant was a Mission grocer. “Before stealing that loaf,” the de- | fendant pleaded before Judge Fritz, “I | had eaten nothing for thirty-six hours and continually walked the streets | during that time. I have lived in San | Francisco thirty-five years and once | was well-to-do. Speculation in mining stocks ruined me, and of all the men that once called me friend not one | will keep me from starvation or theft by giving me employment.” The complaining grocer stated that he did not desire to prosecute Wilson and the charge was dismissed. e e Charles Thompson was sauntering ing, when Beulah Faggett suddenly emerged from her dwelling and smash- ed a heavy crockery basin upon his head. He went down and out and she was taken to prison for battery. Mr. Thompson's mental faculties were rather confused when he tried to’ ex- plain why he had been assaulted, but | enough of his story was intelligible to | convince the police that he had offered | no provocation for the woman's act. | She is reserving her defense until the | case I8 called before Judge Conlan to- morrow. 4 . “Save me from myself,” sald George Smith to Patrolman Winslow last Fri- day evening on Third street. “What's the matter with you quired the officer. “I have been hitting up the ‘booze’ steadily for a week,"” replied George, “and now I'm in the stage that tempts | suicide. If you don’t lock me up I'll| likely be a dead one to-morrow.” | The officer complied with the request, and ere the prisoner arrived at the Hall of Justice his lucid interval had | lapsed and he was a frenzled inebriate. | in- A night of solitary conflnement and enforced abstinence from intoxicants restored his reason to some extent, however, and his mind was pretty clear as he faced Judge Mogan yesterday | morning. To complete the sobering process he was given another week's imprisonment, Because he attempted to promote the ! safety of pedestrians passing his dwell- | ing, on Broadway, between Front and | Davis streets, Louis Chicci was ar-| rested for laying a wooden sidewalk without a legal permit to do so. ! Mr. Chicel explained to Judge Mo- gan that the timbers composing the footway fronting his residence are old and loose, and that his religious sense has often been shocked by the pro- fanity uttered by persons whose shins | { Ideals,” Mrs. Hunt; “San Francisco,” | fast. were barked by detached planks fly- ing up and striking them. It was in| a spirit of philanthrophy, he said, and | with no intention to defy the laws, that | he procured a hammer and some nails l and started to fasten down the pro- | vokers of unholy language, and in that | occupation he “was industriously en- | gaged when a policeman gathered him | in. Charge dismissed. . Mrs. Ellen McGibney on two sepa- rate occasions was caught in the act of stealing chickens from the poultry yard of Mrs. Mary Zickgruff, at 121 Converse street, and on each occasion Mrs. Zick- gruff’s remonstrance against the pil- fering of her feathered property was followed by a display of fistic science | on the part of Mrs. McGibney and| damage to the face of Mrs. Zickgruff. It was on Friday last that the latest attack by Mrs. McGibney upon the countenance of Mrs. Zickgruff was made, and as evidence of it Mrs. Zick- gruff showed a broken nose yesterday to Judge Mogan, who said to the de- fendant: “Mrs. McGibney, the purloining of Mre. Zickgruff’s hens and the battering | of Mrs. Zickgruff's face seems to have | become a habit with you, and to en- able you to get rid of it I will sentence you to as long a term of Imprisonment as the law allows.. Call around again Monday.” . . The death of a witness whose testi- mony was essential to conviction re- sulted in dismissal of the felony em- bezzlement charge against Charles Clark in Judge Mogan's court. Clark was accused of embezzling $108 50 while he was employed as bookkeeper for the Farmers’ and Manufacturers’ Associa- tion of America, and it was on motion of the District Attorney that the case was dismissed. T Charles Gale, convicted of battery, was given thirty days by Judge Mogan. } The complaining witness was Miss Clara Goodman, who was walking with | a young man when Gale, maddened by | jealousy, struck her on the face, and| was promptly knocked down by her escort, his skull being fractured by its impact with a curbstone. e TO SUBSCRIBERS LEAVING TOWN FOR THE SUMMER.

Several hundred recent graduates and their friends at- tended the entertainment, which was a thoroughly enjoyable one. Miss Voorsanger, president of the alumnae, presided over the meeting and opened the afternoon's exercises with a short address, introducing the past president of the Alumnae Asso- clation, Mrs. A. F. Morrison. Miss Voorsanger said: “Ladles and Gentlemen and Mem- bers of the Alumnae—It is with a deep sense of the honor of being president of the Girls’ High School Alumnae As- sociation that I rise to greet you and | to welcome you to the annual reunlon’ breakfast of the Alumnae Association. ! Your presence here is indicative of the interest in the alumnae, and what seemed only a vague possibility when planned by the board of directors has evolved into a splendid reality and will | become, I trust, a permanent feature of our reunions. “I take great pleasure in introduc- | ing to you & woman, who, if you do | not know her, you should know, as she is past president of the associa- tion.” [ Mrs. Morrison was then introduced and acted as toastmaster for the afternoon. Toasts were offered as follows: “Our Alma Mater,” Mrs. Julius Kahn, late of the Lowell High School; “Our Teachers,” Miss Elsie Leale; “Our Mrs. Sanborn. A large orchestra, screened behind a huge cluster of calla liles, played on | the auditorium stage during the break- | Following the breakfast were exer- | cises by the members of the Alumnae Assoclation, after which tea was served between 4 and 5:30 o'clock. During the afternoon a steady stream of visitors passed in and out of the large building and in all hundreds | of guests were entertained and dined. | The entire floor of the building was prettily decorated with white lflle!; and artistically strewn greens. The effect was extremely pretty. ——— CALEDONIANS APPOINT | JUDGES OF THE GAD(ES‘ The Club Gave an Enjoyable Open | Meeting for the Benefit of the Fair Sex.

Duke has resigned from his position in the clerk’s office of the Supreme Court to resume the practice of law in the offices of Campbell, Met- son & Campbell. His departure is re- gretted by the many lawyers with whom he had dealings in the public office. Supreme Court Clerk Frank Jordan also accepted Duke's resigna- tion with regret. The place will be occupied in the future by George H. Dryden, who is well known in California Republican politics. He has occupied many pub- lic offices, among others that of ist- ant Chief Wharfinger on the water front. Dryden is also well and fa- vorably known among the members of the legal profession and his ap- pointment to the responsible position is hailed with general satisfaction. He was sworn in yesterday by Chief Deputy Clerk Oscar Tolle. —_———— Thinks It Was Welch. Coroner Leland received a letter yvesterday from C. E. Choote of Red- wood City informing him that last Monday he saw at that place a young man who resembled the missing Oscar Thoburn Welch of Montana.
