If jthe neighbors to their business, and per-! to attend to his, the court | been bothered by such a had entered no complaint, s her sister, Mrs. Fitzgerald, ap- peared in court and pronounced Mr. Maher an exemplar of all the domestic virtues, there was nothing else for the Judge to do than dismiss the case. Joseph Brady was indulging in the | Shell Mound Park, and his | so R pastime of “shooting up” a North End saloon when Patrolman Springett, at- tracted by the shots and the screams of terrasized persons, Intrepidly dashed into the place and disarmed and ar- rested the man behind the pistol. When he was arraigned before Judge Fritz on the charge of carrying con- cealed weapons Mr. Brady claimed exemption from the penalty provided by law for that offense, inasmuch as the ordinance excludes travelers from its exactions and he was a tourist from Chicago. While en route from Los An- geles to Seattle, he averred, his at- tention was attracted by preliminary announcement of the butchers’ pienic, which was held last Wednesday at ocation be- ing that of swine slaughtérer he de- cided to embrace the opportunity af- forded him to fraternize with so many merrymaking representatives of San Francisco’s meat industry. So to Shell Mound he went and there he formed many acquaintances and consumed so many drinks that when he recrossed the bay his senses were hazy. How he arrived in the wet goods shop he “shot up” he could not for the life of him remember, and what inspired him to perform the “shooting up” he was at™a loss to understand, as he had never done such a thing before and certainly had no desire to do it again. The Judge pronounced the plea of exemption well taken, but fined Mr. { Brady $5 for disturbing the peace, and the fine was paid from a bundle of currency of sufficient bulk, as Bailift Conion remarked, “to choke a cow.” . . . Joseph Monnier was arrested for dis- turbing the peace of Court de France, Foresters of America, by refusing to retire from the lodgeroom in the Al- cazar building when Chief Ranger Peter Treck requested him to do so on the ground that excessive indebtedness to the court made him ineligible to par- ticipate In its deliberations. The by- laws of Court de France,, it was ex- plained to Judge Mogan, provide that when any member’'s unpaid fines exceed $850 he shall be excluded from all meetings until such excess is defrayed, and as Mr. Monnier's unpaid fines amounted to $11 50, he was not entitied to enter the court. Mr. Monnier com- plained of “cliquery” being responsible for his fines, but the Judge told him that the Police Court could not inter- fere with the affairs of Court de France and 'advised him to lay his grievance before the supreme body of the Order of Foresters. Then the case was dis- missed. Judge Smith dismissed the failure to provide complaint against Joseph We- worka because his wife is suing for di- vorce. Mr. Weyorka, while neglecting to support hls‘v fe and two children, was advertising in the daily papers for another wife. He was arrested on com- plaint of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Louisa Pahl of 1210 Mission street. SURVEL ALES COLLINS rday demanded Attorney Byington and the | foreman of the Grand Jury, E.

Cress Unger, who for twenty-nine vears had been a clerk in the San Fran- 0 Custom-house, was placed on trial yesterday in the United States District Court on an indictment charg- ing him with embezzling small sums ag- gregating $1500. The prosecution was represented by Assistant United States District Atterney Charles M. Fickert. | Bert Schlesinger and Seth Mann ap- peared for the defense. As many of the jurors on the panel said that they were acquainted with the deferidant and were on friendly terms with him they were excused and after six had been chosen the panel was exhausted and a venire issued for twenty talesmen, returnable at 11 a. m. to-day.

STRONG WORIS Denounces Aetions of Prim- ary Election Officers as Fraud of the Worst Kind s REBSTOCK TRIAL LIVELY Long Argument of Counsel as to Admissibility of Evidence to Show Intent BEN THLLN The trial of Joseph Rebstock, indict- ed for violation of the election law by an officer of a primary election pre- cinct, was resumed before a jury in Judge Lawlor's court yesterday. The plea of the defense that Rebstock can- not be further prosecuted, as he had been compelled to teStify before the Grand Jury, was admitted on the gen- eral plea of not gyilty, but District At- torney Byington says he will be able to overcome that plea by evidence that Rebstock, although sumoned to testi- fy, did not in fact do so. Members of the Grand Jury wil¥ be called before the close of the trial to give their tes- timony on that point. A strong fight was made by the de- fense to prevent witnesses from testi- fying that Rebstock had refused to ad- minister the oath to other voters be- sides Owen W. Frankum at the Alms- { house booth, with the object of show- ing the condition of the defendant's mind. A long argument ensued, dur- ing which the jury was excused, and although the Judge reserved his deci- sion till this morning, he clearly indi- cated that he would rule against the defense. During the drgument Byington said: “The fact that the faction represented by this defendant secured 114 votes in that precinct and the opposing faction only two votes clearly shows that there was fraud of the worst kind. Every act of the defendant that day should g0 before the jury to show the charac- ter of the man. He used fiithy lan- guage to citizens who came to vote and all the circumstances stamp the doings of the defendant as fraudulent. It was the worst case of fraud at an election ever perpetrated in this city.” The witnesses ‘examined yesterday were George P. Adams, registrar, who identified certain affidavits and other documents, and Willlam H. Hazel Much time was saved by a stipulation that the primary election was held. Hazel testified to having challenged Frankum's vote and Rebstock's refus- al to administer the oath to Frankum. Hazel wanted to ask the voters: “Is it intention to support the Repub- headed by Roosevelt and but he was laughed and our lican ticket, Fairbanks?”’ jeered at and the only question put to the voters was, “Are you a Republi- can?’ Rebstock had told ihm he did not care if he was sent to the State's prison, but he would not administer the oath te. Frankum. Rebstock had weed filthipoefepressions in speaking of voters and assumed a beligerent. atti- tude all through the day. It was a question asked by Byington as to Rebe stock’s refusal to-administer the oath to other voters that precipitated the ar- gument which occupied nearly two hours. Hazel will be put on the stand this morning, when the same question will be asked and the Judge will give his decision on the objection raised by the defense.

The police were notified a few days ago that Charles de Witt Spencer, fa- miliarly called “Doc,” had been miss- mg from his home at 324 Turk street for the last three weeks. It was said that when last seen he had between $1500 and_ $£2000 in greenbacks in his possession. Detective Silvey has been making inquiry, but can find no trace of Spencer, but he reports that from all he could learn Spencer did not have nearly so much money with him as alleged. Spencer was formerly a bar- tender and is said to be a heavy drinker. He is six feet tall, weighs 240 pounds, has light complexion, brown hair and iron gray mustache. He walks with a decided limp.

Gray, who comprise the firm of Gray Bros. contractors, were arrested Yyes terday on warrants issued by Police Judge Fritz on complaint of James D. Brown, a property owner at Chestnut and Kearny streets, where the contractors have their quarry. There are two charges against each for violating ordinances 8183 and 944. The former Is in regard to blasting withiin the city limits and the other to regulating stone quarries. They were released on $50 bail on each charge. look, though. as if any one but himself was likely to attack the indictment against him, so bis alieged reason for fighting it is not accepted by the prose- cution.
