PITTS, the Stationer, 1008 MARKET ST., San Francisco, the scenery en route is most | Plays “Hcokey,’ If eleven-year-old Paul hadn’'t played: “hookey” May 5 he might still be obscure among the com- monplace youth of the Western Addi- tion instead of reveling in the admira- tion, not untainted with envy, of every “kid” who knows him. For it was his unauthorized absence from school and dread of consequent parental wrath that indirectly led to his participation {in a nocturnal adventure such as sel- dom falls to the lot of any lad who is not a “Boys' Nickel Library” hero. Having reason to suspect that his mother had been informed of his tru- ancy, Paul dreaded a meeting with his father, and decided to run away and become a pirate or a bandit of some | kind and make an immense fortune, | equipped with which he would return ' home and purchase his parents’ for- | giveness. “I'll g6 you runnin’ away,” | he proposed to Willie Cook, his chum | and senior by one year, but as the | evening was chilly and Willle hadn’t “played hookey,” the proposal was | declined. Then Paul decided to become { a lone desperado, and with this deter- mination he sat down upon a bench in front of Fred Held's meat market at | 1303 Buchanan street, to map out a | plan of campaign. While engaged in self-argument as to whether it would be wisest to inaugurate his career of | outlawry by plundering a bank or bur- | glarizing a candy store he fell asleep. | Then came the great adventure. It was about 11 o'clock p. m., Paul |says, when he was awakened by a noise and saw a man “monkeying" | with the lock on the door of the meat | market. He recognized the man as | one Dennis Gallagher, also known as “Happy Hooligan,” and at once came | glorious realization that he was wit- fnessing a real sure-enough burglary. Holding his breath lest it might alarm | the marauder and spoil the episode, Paul saw the lock vield to the key, | the door swing open, the man enter | the store, the cash register approached and rifled, the burglar’s exit and dis- appearance in the darkness. All- of | these things Paul saw with his own | eyes. The next thing he saw with the }same optics was the door standing {open. Then he saw that the recent visitor had carelessly left a bunch of keys and some slips of paper lying upon a chopping block inside. A per- son older in years and possessed of more discretion would probably have summoned the police. But Paul was sleepy, so he entered the store, pock- | eted the keys and the slips of paper, climbed into an ice box and resumed his slumber. Soon afterward he was | again awakened by a noise and when he sat up in the refrigerator and peeped out he saw Special Officer Har- vey exploring the premises. The boy made his presence known, explained it as hereinbefore narrated and was es- | corted to his home, where daddy was | so interested by his story that the in- ltcnded whipping never took place. In the court of Judge Mogan yester- day Paul was a voluble witness against Gallagher and Willie Cook.and Johnny | Eager also testified. The case was | continued till to-day. Judge Cabaniss elevated his eye- brows and otherwise expressed in- credulity as Mrs. George Bruns, large of frame and truculent of visage, told of how her’ husband, diminutive and mild mannered, had beaten her. “The worst of it was,” she said in deep con- tralto, “he hadn't been drinking when he slapped my face.” “Mary’s a time you punched my face,” faltered the little man, with a voice that would qualify him for en- listment in a boy choir. “Oh, we won’t consider that now,” said the lady in tone dictatorial. “Pardon me, madam,” remarked the Judge, “but it must be considered, be- cause it tends to prove provocation. Did you slap him?” “Well, he irritated me.” “Then, as his physical superior, you should have ignored him, as the ele- phant ignores the fly, instead of slap- ping him. His retaliation in kind proves his possession of more courage than I gave him credit for. The case is dismissed, and, Mrs. Bruns, if there should be another family jar I hope you will be magnanimous in your might.” A very different kind of female complainant in a somewhat similar case was Mrs. Julla Roach of 311 Madison avenue, who had her hus- band, John F., before Judge Mogan for battery. She appeared fragile and careworn, while he looked fit to fight Jeffries. “I don’t mind being beaten when I'm well,” said the little woman, “but in my present condition I cannot stand it. My youngest child is only 4 weeks old and the other five are not old enough to protect me.” “I was only fooling,” the big fellow muttered, shamefacedly. “There will be no fooling when I sen- tence you to-morrow,” said the Judge, “unless your wife follows the usual custom of pleading that you are her only means of support.” “Don’'t be afrald of that,” the woman exclaimed. “The children and me will manage to get along somehow without his aid.” Mr. Roach didn’t seem to be happy as he was returned to the cage, . . - When the good steamship Sonoma was plowing into port day before yes- terday Second Engineer Kearny dropped into the boiler-room and re- proved Fireman James Connors for heaving coal into the firebox as if his life was dependent upon the quantity he could get away with. “This ship ain’t engaged in a speed contest,” said the engineer, “and coal costs money.” To which the fireman responded by assuming a pugilistic attitude and broadly insinuating that the engineer was of canine ancestry. Whereupon the engineer knocked down the fire- man, who had him arrested for bat- tery. “I don’t like to butt into a question of shipboard discipline,” said Judge Cabaniss, “but as a landlubber I opine that the assault complained of was justified by the provocation. Case dismissed.” ¥ - - . | While a low-neck and spike-tan function was in progress at Harmony ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD TRUANT HAS THRILLING ADVENTURE ' Dreads Parental Ire, Decides to | Run Away From Home and Is Eye Witness of a Burglary by a Man Whom He Fully Identifies Durney Hall, Fourteenth and Erle streets,| night before last Louis Prank applied | for and was refused admittance on the ground that his costume was not en regle. Then he posted himself at the door and Indulged in caustic comment at the expense of persons properly ap- pareled for the affair. Among these were Mr. and Mrs. Windsor. As they were proceeding up the stairway Mnl Prank yelled to the ticket-taker, “Don’t | let 'em con ye, kid.” Other ladies and gentlemen were similarly subjected to | uncalled-for criticism from Mr. Prank. “You may think itjp funny,” said| Judge Mogan to Mr. Prank, “to inject | discord into Harmony Hall, but that | prank is likely to be costly to you, Mr. | Prank. Come around to-morrow and T'll tell you the rest.” Sl John Radstone had a pistol muzzle at | his right ear and was about to pull the | trigger when Special Officer George Farrell stayed his hand. “Whisky, I| guess,” was Mr. Radstone’s answer to | Judge Mogan's query anent his reason | for attempting self-destruction. i It was at 3:30 o'clock Tuesday after- noon and in a grocery at Third and | Mission streets that Radstone first| tried to take his life. He fired at his| head and missed, and then he went to | the sidewalk, where a second bullet | flew wide. As he had the revolver | pressed closely to his ear to make a sure thing of the third shot Officer | Farrell leaped from a passing street car and thwarted his purpose. The man refuses to tell who he is or where he came from. His clothing is | good and his age about 30 years. He | will be sentenced to-day for disturbing | the peace. | AT Charles Connolly, inaster at arms aboard the transport Sherman, was!' among the plain drunks dismissed with | a reprimand by Judge Mogan. “Isn’t a master at arms on shipboard | equal in rank to a Chief of Police on shore?” queried the Judge. “Yes, sir,” was the answer. “Well, deal gently with a landlubber | Police Chief or Judge if you should ever | get him in your clutches. One good | turn deserves another. Reciprocity is | the life of officiallsm. Back to the bil- lows.” . William A. Small is held to answer in the Superior Court the charge of grand larceny. Judge Fritz pronounced him | gullty of embezzling some dlamonds | from Mrs. Sinkey and fleeing to New | Orleans, where he was arrested. His bail is $2000. Ry | For stealing seventy pounds of pig | iron John Flynn was given four months by Judge Mogan. Willlam Uhl, who! stole a cashbox containing trinkets | from Peter Dahl of 857 Howard street, was sentenced to three months by the same tribune. i “Uhl, remember him,” said Bailiff | Hickey, addressing the prisoner and al- luding to the bench. Clerk Gréy heard | the remark and chuckled so loudly that | the Judge asked to be admitted to the joke. “Best thing Hickey has got off in a year,” giggled the clerk; “he told Uhl that he'll remember you.” His Honor’'s smile was strictly per- functory. Judge Mogan expressed regret that he could not convict Joe Brandi for perjury. “For I have no doubt,” said he, “that you have committed perjury, and that the acquittal of this man San- to Moscow is a miscarriage of justice caused by your false swearing.” Brandi complained that he had been stabbed in the neck by Moscow, and he showed a deep knife wound to substan- tiate his complaint, but subsequently declared that he had merely been struck with Moscow’s fist and that no knife was used by the latter.

For the first | the history of the Superior | courts a Judge admonished a witness | time in that perjury leading to the execution of a prisoner would constitute a cap- ital offense. Judge Cook gave the warning to John Cooper, who has testified that Leon Soeder, in the Broadway jalil, confessed in detail that he had mur- dered Joseph Blaise. It was evident from Judge Cook's | in- that manner and speech that he was credulous of the strange story Cooper told regarding Soeder’s alleged | confession of the murder of his broth- | er-in-law. indications of a similar disbellef Cooper’s weird tale. - Trained neys in the courtroom pronounced it preposterous. Judge tion was as follows: “Cooper, you understand that the defendant in this case is charged with the crime of murder?” “Yes,” answered the witness. “You also understand that the pun- ishment for murder in the first degree may be death.?” “yes.” “The court has no desire or inten- Among the jury there were tion of intimating in any way, either | that your testimony is true or that it is false, but that you may have the opportunity of correcting the same if any of it has been untrue. I inform you that under the laws of this State { any person who by willful perjury procures the conviction and execution of any innocent person is punishable | by death. “With the knowledge of the penalty attached in sfich cases, have you any changes or corrections to make in your testimony?” WITNESS HESITATES. Cooper grew white at first, and then | the blood surged back to his face. For more than two minutes he studied the seams on his shoes, quivering like an aspen. Then he looked toward District Attorney Byington, and the latter nod- ded to him. Still he refused to anSwer until Byington put the question: “Have you any change to make your testimony?” “Nothing,” he replied, faintly.

The Judge ruled that a| broad cross-examination was out of crder under the agreement at the pre- vious adjournment. Salomon succeed- ed in showing that Cooper was now | a trusty at the County Jail and was allowed the freedom of the corridors from early morning until late at night. In response to questions as ‘- to| whether he had told two prisoners at the County Jail, named Murphy and Fallon, that Soeder had mnever made | | a confession to him, he answered tivat | he might have done so, but it was in { order to deceive them regarding the facts. Incidentally, some of the Information regarding the Soeder case which was published exclusively in The Call short- ly after the murder, and which was strenuously denied by the police, was brought out during the testimony of Detective Tom Gibson in the afternoon. He testified that the woman at the clothes-cleaning establishment, where Soeder sent his gray suit of clothes on | the morning of the discovery of Blaise’s | body, positively identified a photograph | of Joseph Nieblas, landlord of the house where Soeder and Blaise roomed just prior to the murder, as the man who brought the clothing to the estab- | lishment. Cooper has testifled that Soe- | der told him Nieblas had agreed to kill | Blaise, but “got cold feet.” The alleged connection of Nieblas with the crime | was also published exclusively in The | Call, but the police failed to investigate fully circumstances that might have proved a conspiracy to take the life of | Blaise. FORGETS THE LANGUAGE. | Gibson told on the stand of the vari- | ous conversations he had had with| Soeder during the defendant’s incar- ceration. General Salomon insisted on the exact language of these convers: tions during the “sweating process, but Gibson said he could not remem- ber it. ; ! Theodore Kytka, the handwriting ex- | pert, was called to testify as to whether or not Soeder drew the chart on the margin of a newspaper that was | submitted the previous day during the direct examination of Cooper. Kytka had not proceeded far before General Salomon announced that the defense was willing to admit that Soeder drew | the chart, a fact exclusively announced | in The Call of yesterday. An order for some clothing at the Flatley home was | also introduced and admitted by the | defendant to have been written by him. | Kytka's services were no longer need- | ed. The only piece of writing Intro- duced that has been disputed by the | defense is on the scraps of paper | picked up by a reporter at 4300 Mission street and alleged by Kytka to be in the handwriting of Soeder. Rather unexpectedly, the prosecution announced the close of its case ot 3:50 in the afternoon. At the request of counsel for the defense a postpone- ment was taken until 10 o'clock this morning, as no witnesses were on hand. “T'1l blow this prosecution to pleces,” sald General Salomon after the ad- journment. “My defense will be short, but it will utterly destroy any claim that Leon Soeder murdered Joseph Blaise.” Other witnesses called during the day were Captain of Detectives Martin, who told of his interviews with Soeder after the arrest; James Bowie, a cook, who met Soeder after his return from Germany, and told of a conversation that had no bearing on the charge against the defendant; and Miss Annle, Brown, habitue of a dive on Pacific street, who says she called on the Val- lerta girls in an effort to induce them to go to the County Jail to visit Soe- der. The Brown woman was a visitor to Cooper at the jail, and the alleged trip to the Spanish restaurant was said to have been made at his request. B — Painter Found Dead in Bed. George F. Harrison, a painter, 62 years of age, was found dead in bed at 309 Third street by Sergeant Green and Patrolman Tillman last evening. He had been dead about two days and appearances lead to the suspicion that he committee suicide by drinking chloroform. Harrison worked Mon- gday and retired as usual on that even- ing. He wa® not missed by the land- lord until his employer called last evening and stated that he had not been to work for two days. The po- licemen were called, the door of his room broken down and he was dis- covered .dead. A chloroform bottle, nearly empty, was found in t§e room.
