Their accusation was unequivo- cal and their desire to prosecute him inflexible, wh he faltered and toyed with the court’s courtesy and time as the debutante juggles with her first sroposal to wed. “I demand a jury trial,” he said after the two women had sworn that on Sun- day last he invaded the restaurant they keep at 1508 Kentucky street and behaved so boisterously that in self-de- fense they were compelied to summon police aid. = “All right, Mr. Keefe, a jury trial you shall have,” said the Judge pleas- antly; “and until you have it you must IFLES WITH A COURT AND REGRETS HE DID SO Dznris Keefe, Charged With Having Disturbed the Peace r, Pays Dzarly for the Effem- perior Court for trial, with balil in each case fixed at $2000, were Harry Fox, robbery; Pedro Petrovich, robbery; Frank Williams, burglary; Benjamin F.

McKay was intoxicated on the | Barbary Coast, and swore that he was | escorted from there to 2 lodging-house | at 116 Fourth street by the defendant, who engaged a room for him. The landlady of the house testified that Fox left McKay in the room a few minutes after they had entered it to- gether, but returned about an hour later, softly stole into the same room, stayed there about a minute in the darkness and then rushed out and down | the stairs. It was her positive identi- | fication of Fox that led to his arrest | | and conviction.

According to her statement Hagan at first demanded $20 to disinter the body, but later reduced the demand to $15. ADVERTISEMENTS.

That's why | he suspected her of having been im- plicated, to say the least, in the ab- straction of his purse, containing $90, from its hiding place under his head. | Miss Shier indignantly denied the theft or any knowledge of it until he ac- cused her, but he ungallantly had her arrested, just the same. Between the time of the woman's arrest and the calling of the case yes- terday before Judge Cabaniss some one had evidently exercised good of- fices in her behalf, for when Lyons was called to testify he showed a re- luctance to prosecute that angered the Assistant District Attorney and final- from the defendants to let him hear | for himself whether they could sing or not, and then allowed them to go | free. .

Early of 131 Polk street’ con- | fessed that he was.not entirely sober when he missed a five-dollar gold piece from one of his pockets and formally | accused John Haggery, an able sea- | man, of having feloniously abstracted it. It was in a Third-street saloon, Early averred, that he was spending his money like a gentleman when the coin disappeared. Among the benefi- | claries of his prodigal outlay for liquids | was Haggery, a fact that made that person’s alleged conduct all the more | | reprehensible. If he (Early) had not imbibed so heavily he might have sus- | pected that Haggery had designs upon his treasury, for the devotion with which Haggery clung to his side was | extraordinary. There was no question | | that the half-eagle was removed by the finger of some person who | “dipped” for it, nor was there any ! doubt in Early’s mind that Haggery was that person.

Mrs. Mary Large of 3211 Sixteenth street, this city, was killed last Mon- day in Mendocino County as the resuit of,a peculiar accident. She had been enjoying a vacation in the woods near Albion with a party of friends. They were riding on a flat car when the loose end of a broken telephone wire was caught on one of the wheel. The wire was wound around the axle and the strain broke a telephone pole, the upper end of which fell upon the car, striking Mrs. Large and breaking her skull and collar bone. She died within a few hours after being taken on board the steamship Pomona. The body wa brought here yesterday by that boat anfl was taken to the Morgue. Mrs. Large was the wife of Charles F.
