Bolam against Thomas P. Bolam pos- sessed the most interest in that she alleges that his cruel treatment of her commenced two weeks after their mar- | riage at San Jose on March 15, 1902. | His abuse of her, she says, continued nnd since Sunday, June 12, he has ~every day beaten, bruised and battered her on the side of the face, nose and | bod; which fact she considers a suf- ficient cause for a legal severance of ! their bonds. She says he is earning $85 a month from the Southern Pa- cific Company and asks the court to enjoin the railroad from paying him his wages until he agrees to give her $40 a month alimony and $100 for at-| torney’'s fees. MRS. FOWLER WANTS BABY. | Judge Kerrigan yesterday ordered John B. Fowler to appear in court to- day to show cause why his wife, Katie Letitia Fowler, should not have cus- | tody of their minor child, Ruth. Mrs. Fowler has instituted suit for divorce and in her petition to get the little | girl she says that Fowler is an unfit person to care for her and “is rapidly approaching the scriptural alloted years of life,” being 66 years of age. | He is an oyster peddler and without money, while she is only 23 years old | and able and willing to earn a liveli- hood for the child. Ada R. Duncan, who recently sued her husband, Benjamin B. Duncan, for divorce on sensational charges of cruelty, and who has figured since in | the civil and police courts by reason | of Duncan's leaving with his money and his brother attempting to eject Mrs. | Duncan from their homg, yesterday filed notice in the Superior Court that she would move for an allowance of $150 a month alimony, $500 attorney’s fees and $100 costs pending the hear- | ing of her case. OTHER SUITS FILED. Suits for divorce were filed vester- day by Grace L. Foster against Wil- liam S. Foster, cruelty and neglect; Maybelle Arnheim against Morris Arn- heim, cruelty; Florence E. Shannon against James E. Shannon, neglect; P. White against L. N. White, deser-| tion; susie Galvin against J. J. Galvin, | desertfon and habitual intemperance. Mrs. George A. Lynch yesterday ob- tained from Judge Graham an injunc- tion to prevent her husband from drawing his money from bank pending the hearing of her application for per- manent alimony of $100 a month. Lynch is ordered to show cause on June 24 why the injunction should not be made permanent. Mrs. Lynch alleges that he drove her from their home and that she is without means, while he is said to be worth $10,000, in addition to earn- ing wages sufficient to support them both. ; —_————————— | RETAIL CLERKS MAKE APPEAL ‘; TO THE TOILING CITIZENS e e | Ask the Public to Help Then Enforce | the Six O'Clock Weekday H Closing Law.

Aspden, the young newspaper man | who shot himeelf in Golden Gate Park on June 16. | Robert J. Aspden, a brother of the | deceased, testified that he had been in- | formed by Miss Joan M. Hadenfeldt | that she was afraid something had |happened to his brother, as she had | received a letter from him which indi- cated an intention to take his life. The witness at once visited the room he land his brother eccupied and found | the note left for him before George departed to carry out his plan of seif- | destruction. He at once notified the Police Department and later the body | was found. The only reason he could | assign for the act was that his brother ! had been working very hard and had been ill. He believed his brother had become tired of life and simply gave up. Miss Joan M. Hadenfeldt had been subpenaed, but Dr. J. C. Stinson of | 533 Sutter street furnished a cer- ;m\cate saying that she was suffering |from nervous prostration and could not appear. Miss Hadenfeldt sent the following communication, which was read to the jury: To Dr. Leland: This is to certify that I have known George Houghton Aspden for four postpone our marriage, o to my own hul(l: not being as it lhml‘ and knowing him to be far from well. I, of course, did not dream such a fatal ending would come.

The battery charge was dismissed and the agreement ord‘cred on file. . . Joseph Baron, 19 years of age and employed as clerk in Flotow's men's furnishing goods store, 1033 Market street, was charged with beating his mother, Mrs. Rebecca Baron, last Sun- day afternoon at the family residence, 1149 Devisadero street. Policeman Mclntyre was summoned by telephone to the house and there found the de- fendant, who had a poker in his hand, being keld in restraint by his elder brother, David. Mrs. Baron informed | the officer that Jacob had been in the habit of calling her vile names and beating her. The young man denied he struck his mother last Sunday, but confessed that on previous occasions he had been so unfilial as to assault her. Judge Mogan pronounced him guilty as charged and will sentence him to-day. . For stealing a silken cape from a woman of Bacon place last Friday, concealing the garment and turning in a false alarm of fire, James Gagan was given nine months by Judge Con- lan.

Wadham, ac- cused of embezzling $1078 intrusted to his keeping as treasurer of the local of Eagles, was called in Judge Fritzs court the clerk announced there was no complaint on file nor was Policeman A. Jewell, who made the arrest, present to attend to the mat- ter. The Judge then delivered a few remarks that were not eulogistic of the way in which the case had been handled by the police. Later in the day a complaint was sworn to by Sec- retary Westcott of the Eagles. Waa- ham is under $3000 bonds. He will be arraigned this morning. B0 Three jurors have been secured to try E. G.

They were ac- cused of robbing Joseph Brzezinski, a Pacific-street saloonist, of $360, a watch and chain and three boxes of cigars, and 20-year-old Raynee Langford, a danseuse, is held as a witness for the prosecution. 5 3 “Kid” Nash, convicted on two charges of peace disturbance and one of vagrancy, was given twelve months in the County Jail by Judge Mogan. Mr. Nash was arrested under suspici- ous circumstances in a Turk-street apartment house, and pleaded that he went there to visit a woman, but, like a famous royal personage who once was placed in a somewhat similar predicament, resolutely declined to di- vuige the My. na:ne. - Albert Rosa, who keeps a vegetable store at 626 Front street, was fighting with his son Louis last Sunday after- noon at Twenty-eighth and Church streets when a policeman arrested them for disturbing the peace and placed an additional charge of carry- ing a pistol against the elder defend- ant. Young Rosa told Judge Mogan that the cause of the quarrel was his refusal to comply with his father's de- mand that he associate with Italians only, the pater having a most unrea- sonable antipathy to American: [mutu- tions and folk.

In the ficer informed Judge Fritz, there nes- tled a large and glittering diamond, and it was his opinion that if he had not “pinched” the defendants when he did they would have removed the gem. The defendants pleaded that they were going home from a theater in which they were employed as stage hands when they saw the drunken individual | and charitably decided to awake him. Just as they were about to do so, and with no intent whatever of touching his diamond, they were clutched by “Jimmie the Cricket.”” They were re- manded for further inv.eatlsntlon . .

Whistles were blown and when two policemen responded one of them es- corted Mr. Seidlitz to the Reardon to the assault with a deadly weapon.

The woman ap- pegred in court and stated that John spénds all his earnings for drink, while she is obliged to work as a housemaid to provide for their three children, which are inmates of St. Francis Di- rectory.

That Eppinger KnewThere | | Was a Shortage of Wheat ‘The prosecution, in the case of Jacob ! Eppinger, charged with obtaining mon- ey on worthless warehouse receipts | ot down to business yesterday after noon after days of squabbling over |legal technicalities and elicited from | the lps of apparently unwilling wit- i nesses information damaging to the | defense. The rost important testi- ! mony was given by Edwin Freund, | the former hookkeeper for the | Pacific Coast Warehouse at Crock- ett and in the local office. Through ‘thls testimony the prosecution seeks (to connect Jacob Eppinger with | the alleged fraudulent acts. It | tends to prove that statements show- !ing the lot numbers of grain in the | Crockett warehouse were forwarded i daily to the office in this city and were available to Jacob Eppinger, many of them being placed directly in his hands. The defendant is apparently daily growing weaker under the ordeal of the | trial. At the noon recess it was feared that he was about to ccllapse and dur |ing the greater portion of the after- noon session he lay back in his chair | with eyes closed and his head resting on the ample shoulders of his son, Josua, apparently oblivious of all that was going on. From time to time when telling points were made, however, his eyes would partially open and other signs of animation be shown. Theodore D. Moines, Isidore Davis and James Crampton corroborated the statements made by former witnesses | regarding the quantity of wheat in the | warehouse, PACKED UP THE BOOKS. Edwin Freund, formerly bookkeeper for the Pacific Coast Warehouse Com- pany, testified that he had been in the employ of the Eppingers for about sev- enteen Years prior to the failure of the firm on June 6, 1903. “Do you know where the warehouse books are?” was asked. “No,” he replied. 'When did you last see them? “In my office a day or so before the failure.” | “What became of them?"” “I don’t know. At the request of James Deming, superintendent of the warehouse, I helped wrap them up for shipment.” The witness thought this was done between the hours of 9 and 10 on the night preceding the failure of*Eppinger & 0. The books wrre then carried on board the steamer San Joaquin, but the witness did not know what marks, | if any, were placed on the packages. | REGULAR REPORTS MADE. | Having shown the shipment of the | books before the failure, the prosecu- tion interrogated the witness regarding the methods of conducting the ware- | house business and what faeilities Ja- | | cob Eppinger might have for informing | himself as to the conditions in the warehouse, The witness replied that both daily and monthly reports were sent to the office of the Pacific Coast { Warehouse Company, which, as had already been shown, was identical with that of Eppinger & Co. These re- ports showed what grain was brought into the warehouse daily, how it was marked and what lots were shipped out. Copies of these reports were made in a letter press book, but the witness could not say whether or no these let- | ter press books had simply melted | {away or were included in the assort !ment of valuable records carefully | wrapped in gunny sacks. His memory on vital points seemed to be hope!eflsl) | poor. TRACING RECEIPTS. Attorney Ach raised the point that a | jdirector in a corporation does not nec- essarily know the actions of the cor- poration and objected to the line f | questions. Attorney Campbell, special prosecutor, replied that he would show | that Jacob Eppinger knew of the exact condition of affairs and he would trace | the worthless receipts on which the | loans were negotiated direct to the hands of the defendant. Judge Lawlor | then permitted the examination to con. | tinue and Watson W. Topping, book keeper in the local office of the defend. | ant, was called to the stand. He said | ‘his duties were to keep the grain |ledger and that he also received re- | | ports from the warehouse, which were | placed on Jacob Eppinger's desk. These | were returned to him to make copies of, frequently by Jacob Eppinger in person. “Who had custody of the warehouse receipts?” was asked. “Jacob Eppinger.” “When wheat was delivered out of | the Crockett warehouse to whom were the receipts handed?” “To Jacob Eppinger.” The witness testified that he canceled the receipts and they were brought to him sometimes by Jacob FEppinger, sometimes by Herman and at others by Bernard Ettlinger. The case will be continued to-day. ———— PRINTERS' LABEL CASE TAKEN UNDER ADVISEMENT Judge Sloss Hears Attorneys for Both Sides in Suit for Alleged Infringement.
