M. Eisner | against Miss Flora Lewis, by whem he | was jilted for the return ofja diamond | engag=ment ring and othe# gifts pre- | sented to her in anticipation of their | prospective marriage, was begun yes-| | terday in Justice of the Peace Daniels’| court. Eisner was the only witness of the day and he told his side of the case| in precise language and with close at- tention to the smallest details. Eisner told how he and Miss Lewis became engaged in April, 1903, and he imme- diately presented her with a diamond | ring which cost him §105. Later he gave | her thres steins valued at $15 and made ! her other gifts besides. ‘The first intimation I had that Miss Lewis desired to break our engage- ment,” testiffied Eisner, “was when I learned in April, 1904, that the presents which had been made to us by our reiatives and mutual friends in honor of our engagement were returned by Miss Lewis. Then she sent out notices | to friends informing them that our en- gagement had been broken. I did not receive my own presents back, however, and I did not consider our engagement | at an end since she did not return the engagement ring. On April 15 Eisner sent his brother to Miss Lewls asking her to give him the ring, but she refused. In fact she has filed an answer that she never received any ring. The trial went over until| to-day, when Eisner will be cross-ex- | amined and Miss Lewis will tell her story. Movements of Steamers. ARRIVE.

Sex by Various Pretexts' WANTS A HOUSEKEEPER Police Have in Their Pos- session Number of Worth- less Checks He Has Given For the past two weeks an eiderly man has been passing worthless checks upon women and obtaining from them small sums on various pretexts. One of his schemes is to advertise for a house- keeper or female cook and call upon the women answering the advertise- | ment. He would tell them that he was on his way to the City Hal! to pay his taxes and would ask them to advance him 33, $4 or $5 as it struck his fancy. and he would leave them a check for a much larger amount as security, prom- ising to repay the amount on his re-| turn to empioy them. In this way at least thirty or forty women have been victimized. Another scheme was to call at a lodging-house, engage a room and pay the rent with a check, receiving the change in coin. The check was worth- less. He had no particular bank and seems to have a supply of blank checks of a)l the banks in the city. He is also h nclude lisce, Henry J.

He was locked up in the “tanks” till his statements could be in- vestigated and some of the women vie- tims had a chance to see him. Burke was released last night by Detective Cody. Mrs. Andrews of 33 Lafayette street failed to identify him. Burke was allowed to go to his room on the condition that he pr self to-day at the Hall of Jus der that Mrs. Gushlacker of 1433 ner street may have a chance to identi- fy him.

The answer of the city was filed some time ago and erday’s answers made by the New Montgomery Real Est: Company and the Occidental Land and Improvement Company. Al of the respondents declare that the thoroughfare has been I peaceable, uninterrupted and noterious vse by the people of San Francigco since the street was opened in 1369 and that the action of the plaintiffs is barred by ations.
