The latest crime reported to the de-| partment involves an exciting night for Mrs. Joseph Prince, who llves at 33 Twenty-first avenue, and a loss to her husband of $30 and some effects ot minor value. Mr. Prince reported to the police that | last Tuesday night about 7 o'clock his wife, who was alone in the house, was startled by the loud ringing of the door bell. She went to the front of the house | end on lighting the gas heard some one run away. Later, she thinks about 11| o'clock, she bheard hammering, as though some one was trying to force an entrance to the basement. She was | greatly startled and was at a loss what to do when her husband arrived. | Ehe called to him, warning him not to g0 to the basement, saying a burglar was there. Disregarding her fears, Mr. | Prince got a lantern and a revolver and | searched the bullding, but found no| one. ‘Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Prince left | | her home to do some shopping. When | she returned that evening she found that thieves had succeeded in their ef- | fort-to loot the dwelling. Everything had been ransacked in the search foi treasure, and even the carpets wer torn up by the burglars in search o coin. From the condition of the din- ing-room it was plain that after steal- ing all they could find the thieves sat down and enjoyed a repast. | There is but one mounted policeman | in the whole district where the crime | occurred, and the people of Richmond | ask that they be given better protection against burglars and petty thieves. —————————— Clerks and Timekeepers Wanted. | The United States Civil Service Com- mission announces that examinations will be held at San Francisco, Los An- | geles, Marysville, Fresno and Reno on Jandary 18 for the positions of clerk, bookkeeper and timekeeper for ! the Panama canal.

ON THE STAND Neglect Depicted | by Relative Who Advanced | Money to Girl's Husband MOTHER ADMITS HATE Mrs. Estes Says She Had Rea- sons for Strong Dislike. Many Divorces Granted The trial of the Estes divorce case was concluded before Judge Kerrigan afternoon, then submitted without argument. The principal wit- ness in behalf of the defendant, Myrtle ott Fstes, was her aunt, Mrs. Ne- | Jaker, wife of E. Dexter Ba- | ker, ranch owner and investor. Mrs. Baker said that her niece was gentle, kind and loving to Dr. Estes, and that | the latter was capable, brilllant and | gentlemanly when not under the in- | She told of the vicissitudes of the young couple, and said that the doctor seldom, if ever, provided for his wife. They had to leave their trunks at the St. Nicholas Hotel in lleu of pay for | their beard. \irs. Baker said that she | loaned Estes $50 with which to buy office furniture and §15 to get his clothes out of pawn. She declared that at times Myrtle was almost starved and so thin that it was pitiful to see her. Mrs. Wadsworth, daughter of Mrs. Atkinson, manager of the sanitarium on Sutter street, said that Estes was addicted to morphine and asked for & dose when he was brought there for treatment. She said the doctor’s mother would not pay for his treatment and the wife could not afford it. Mrs. Ba- ker's story was corroborated by M. A. Frencb, grandfather of the chorus girl, and Alex Vayssie, clerk of the Gray- | stone. Edward Weller, clerk of the St. | Nicholas, and Mr. and Mrs. George S. Stevenson, proprietors of the rooming house at 625 Hyde street, were called to testify to facts in support of the contention that Estes had llved with his wife within the last year. Mrs. Estes Sr. was called in rebuttal, and declared that on the 8ates named her son was always at home with her. She admitted that she did not like her son’s wife. The letter calllng her a “fiend” was admitted In evidence. Linda F. Kirchof, whose husband, F. BE. {irchof, is a bookkeeper with a salary of $100 a month and an income of $1000 a vear from property, yester- day sued him for $100 a month separate maintenance. They were married in 1876, and he is said to have deserted her five years ago. Judge Sloss granted a divorce to Lil- lie Roe Luke from John Luke, a plumber whom she married in 1886. He was cruel, and one of his abuses was to strike her with a hot soldering iron. The wife was allowed $30 a month ali- mony and the custody of four chil- dren. Others divorced were: By Judge Heb- bard—Thomas M. Seavey from Cath- cruelty; Francis A. Mc- Laughlin from Sarah A. McLaughlin, desertion; Edward Downs from Fmma Downs, desertion; Clara T. Wilmarth from Charles Y. Wilmarth, desertion. By Judge Seawell—To Willlam A. Walkerly from Frances Walkerly, de- sertion; James E. Daves from Frances Daves, desertion. By Judge Hunt-- To Elizabeth Hill from Edward C. Hill, neglect; John C. Webster from Cynthia F. Webster, desertion. By Judge Kerrigan—To Henry C. Plaus from Cornelie Plaus, infidelity. Suit for divorce was flled by Thomas Christiana Jenkins, whom he married in England In 1877 She deserted him six years ago. George Oberly asks for a legal separation from | his wife Augusta on the ground of her cruelty, and Ferdinando Rossi, a restaurant man, wants a divorce from his wife Maria because she struck him and does not attend to her household | duties. —_—e——————— BYRON HOT SPRINGS.

ARGUE LEGALITY 0F ADOPTION (ounsel in Monnier Contest Fight Legal Battle Over Birthright of Contestant LETTERS IN EVIDENCE Uncomplimentary Epistles of Young Husband About His Wife Placed on Record The. course of the Monnier hearing before Judge Graham yesterday was suspended several hours while the counsel for both sides were lost in the mazes of argument relative to the ad- mission of the adoption record signed by George Monnier and Johannie Mon- nier before Judge Charles Halsey. The | direct examination of George Monnier Jr. was concluded yesterday and the only new evidence evolved was the ad- mission as evidence of several letters written by Monnier to his mother, in which he referred to his wife in uncomplimentary terms and expressed the hope that the annulment proceed- ngs, then in course of trial, would be successful. Beside the usual record of the adop- | tion of George Monnier Jr., who was at that time known as Charles D. Dewey, the document recited “that the father of said child is not in the sald city and county of San Francisco, and has been absent therefrom for some years, and his whereabouts is un- known to the mother of said minor child and to your petitioners.” George D. Collins, for the pro- ponent, Johanne Monnier, objected to the admission of the adoption paper on the ground that Judge Halsey had no jurisdiction. He argued that from the face of the document the paternity of the child was unknQwn to Monnler Sr. and that the child was adopted without the consent of its father, which made the instrument invalld. This ground was opposed by Matt Sul- livan, for the contestant, and Judge Graham finally set aside this after- ncon for a continuance of the hear- ing of the argument. Decision in the matter will not be given befdre to- morrow morning at 10 o’clock, when the case will be continued. Mrs. Mary Reilly and Mrs, Mary A. Connell were placed on the stand by the contestant to tell of eonversations with the elder Monnler, in which he admitted that his wife was not the mother of George Monnier, but that he was the father. The court was com- pelled to issue an attachment for the appearance of Mrs. Connell. It de- veloped in the testimony of the wit- ness that when she was served with the subpena she asked her husband's advice and was told not to appear. ‘When summoned again by telephone Mrs. Connell observed that she thought her husband’s commands more bind- ing than the court order and was in- dignant at being compelled to attend. o “+ TO ADVERTISERS.

This was considered to be the most desirable location. The board of library trus- tees has already sel:cted this site. At 4 p. m. to-day the library trus- tees will meet with the Supervisors and definitely make selection of land. | Thke library building to be constructed is expected to be one of the handsom- est in the United States, the people having ‘oted nearly $1,000,000 for it and Andrew Carnegie will give $500,- 000 additional.

Superintendent Langdon reported that a portable schoolhouse was re-w quired at the Sutro School. There are | twenty-two puplls on the walting list | and one teacher has to teach four classes of fifty-two pupils. Director | Boyle said the Bergerot School needed a portable schoolhouse, but the board agreed that nothing could be done to relleve congested attendance owing to lack of funds. | The salaries of teachers, janitors, office and shop employes and the de- mands for rent for the month of De- cember, 1904, were approved and or- dered pald.
