At times the alr was slow and mournful; later it would rise to a shrill wall of grief. The balliff sternly rapped for order, but the music continued. The balliff walked down the aisles, eyeing the court hang- ers-on suspiciously. Finally he made his way to the dock, where Cornelius Dunn, rged with vagrancy, was airing his alth of whiskers near the open win- = he mysterious music ‘was more clear in neighborhocd. ave you a phonograph or a hand- organ in your pocket?’ demanded the bailiff. Dunn denied the accusation. Suddenly a light dawned upon the bailiff. He walked over and closed the window. In- stantly the plaintive music ceased. The | wealth of whiskers worn by Dunn, tossed about by the breeze, had made an Aeolian | harp effect. This musical acquisition of Dunn has | been the cause of his downfall. For weeks he has been haunting the Marine Hospi- | tal, sleeping out under trees, while the winds played nocturnes in his whiskers. Patients and attendants at the hospital have been kept awake by these concerts. | From sunset to sunrise Dunn would give | recitals on his hairy Aeolian harp. He | was in the midst of a touching serenade when Policeman Guest swooped down upon him and gathered him in. Upon promise to take himself and his | orchestral whiskers to some other neigh- borhood Dunn was dismissed. s s John Culbert, a negro, charged with va- | grancy, pleaded with Judge Cabaniss to be | let go, as he was an ex-soldier and had | served his country- faithfully. He pro- | duged papers to prove it. ““‘Were you ever wounded?” asked the Judge. “No, Ah can’t say that.Ah was, sah; but, to tell the honnes' truf, your Hon- | nah, Ah was half shot once or twice. But Ah'll never get into dat kind ob dan- ger again if you let me go, sah.” Judge Cabaniss accepted the promise for what it was worth and the veteran was dismissed. | | b In his anxiety to clear himself of the | charge of stealing John Boles' wardrobe, { John A. Smith turned over to Attorney E. | O. Curtis a forged check for $100. The at- | torney unsuspectingly cashed the check and put up the money to bail Smith out. Yesterday, when the case against Smith was called in Judge Mogan's court, Attor ney Curtis informed the Judge of the de- | ception practiced upon him by his client. Judge Mogan gave him an order for the $100 secured on the fraudulent check and | the money was restored to the Germania Bank, where the check had been cashed. The case was conignued. Detective Bell declares that Smith has passed several other worthless checks. . . . D. J. Ryan, a mining man from Mexico, treated two lady friends to a long ride in Frank O'Donnell's hack on Wednesday night.

Leo Griggs, 22 years of age, appeared in the United States District Court yes- !terd_ay for trial on an Indictment charging him on three counts with at- j tempting to pass and passing silver certificates of $1 denomination which had béen raised to the denomination of $10 by pasters cut from Confederate bills. His attorney, Marshall B. Wood- worth, entered a plea of gullty on the first count, which charged the prisoner with having attempted to pass one of the raised bills upon Mrs. Pasqualino Descalzo, who keeps a notion store at 2410 Folsom street. Assistant United States District At- | torney George Clark thereupon with- drew the two other counts. Mr. Wood- * worth made an appeal for mercy on behalf of his client, citing the facts that this was the first time that his client had ever got into trouble and that he had been led away by evil companions. Judge de Haven said that he would pass sentence this morning. To Consider Telephone Franchise. Arrangements were made yesterday ALLEGES MINER 15 A BIGAMIS Mrs. Ella Amy Travels From Bay State to Prosecute an Alaskan Copper King SAYS HE FORSOOK HER Present Wife of Prospector Avers He Was Divorced and Hints at Conspiracy e Mrs. Ella Amy of Littleton, Mas: swore to a warrant before Police Judge Cabaniss yosterday afternoon charging Winfleld Scott Amy, a wealthy Alaska miner, with bigamy. The woman, who lias long since passed the middle age, recites a tale that carries with it a tinge of romance and rings with a sound of pity as well as fiction. According to the woman’'s strange tale, she was married to Amy in her native town of Littleton in 1878 and has a daughter by him. She says they came to live in this city, where her spouse worked as a truck driver, and bliss and happiness was theirs till the wife was taken sick. Mrs. Amy avers that her husband sent her and her child back to Littleton and for a few years contributed to their support. But these contributions soon taded away, she says, and she was forced to earn a living for herself and her daughter, hearing no more from her husband. Mrs. Amy then goes on to relate how her husband made a trip East about three years ago to bond some valuable copper mines. She says she started an investigation and discovered he had been married in 1889 to Miss Carrie Sperry in Stockton, though, according to her tale, he never went through the formality of a divorce from her. AMY NOT AT HOME. Mrs. Amy says she strove and strug- gled and finally saved up enough money to come to this city about two weeks ago. She claims to have had all her suspicions verified during those last days, having watched the register at the Qccidental Hotel and seeing there the names of Amy and his Stockton wife. Mrs. Amy says she also discovered that her husband had adopted a daugh- ter and was rearing her as a lady with all the luxuries that money was capable of buying. In the meantime, Mrs. Amy says, her own child was in straitened circumstances until some time ago, when she was married. Mrs. Amy says her daughter is 32 years old. Amy lived in Stockton for a number of years. Some time ago_he went to Alaska and there managed to locate some valuable copper mines near Valdez. These netted him a fortune and he is said to be known as the “Kking” in the frozen regions of the north. The police yesterday learned that Amy had left Stockton in the morning and it is thelr belief he has started for Seattle. All the towns en route have been wired and it is likely the miner will be taken into custody soon. PRESENT WIFE TALKS. STOCKTON, Nov. 23.—When seen to- night Mrs. W. S. Amy saild that the charge agalnst her husband came as a great shock to her. He left here Tuesday evening for San Francisco, where he was to close a deal for the sale of a mine. Mrs. Amy belleves the charge was in- spired by spite. He has been mining in Alaska for several years with indifferent results, but this year struck it rich. In Btockton Mrs. Amy was married to him in 1889 and the relations of the two have been pleasant. She says she knew he had been married before, but that he was di- vorced. That there was no secret about his last marriage was evident from the fact that Mrs. Amy has corresponded with his daughter by a former wife. Tms evening she declared she was too shocked to understand the situation, but she re- fused to belleve that her husband had deceived her in regard to his divorce. She ventured the opinion that Amy's | prospects from the sale of a mine had inspired his former wife to begin & ac- tiop against him. She says Amy tele- phoned last night that he would not be home, but she supposed business was de- taining him. Mrs. Amy is a woman high- Iy spoken of by friends and acquaintances and her manner was that of a well bred woman in deep distress over her hus- band’s plight. The family home is at 518 Miner avenue and Amy is well known in this city, al- though. he has spent considerable of his time in Alaska during recent years. —_—————————— Sembrich Jealous of Tetrazzini, Just before leaving town the Italian soprano told the Saunterer of Town Talk why her rival has green eyes.

Attorney George D.

Collins thereupon made a motion that he be not asked to enter a plea and fhat the proceedings be stayed on the ground that he was extradited for committing perjury as a witness be- fore a court in judicial proceedings, whereas the Indictment charges that he committed perjury In“taking an oath in the verification of an answer. He asked for time to make a showing on his motion. The Judge denied the motion, stat- ing that after the defendant made his plea he would have the privilege of re- newing it. Collins objected. Collins then entered a plea of not guilty without prejudice to the rulings of the court in denying his various mo- tions and overruling the demurrer. District Attorney Byington asked that the case be set for trial on Monday, but Collins objected and wanted more 'time.

Howe, an attorney of this city, who swindled a large number of poor and credulous persons with a fraudulent mining scheme, was sen- tenced by United States District Judge de Haven yesterday to Imprisonment in the penitentiary at San Quentin for eighteen months and to pay a fine of $100. This sentence was the extreme penalty provided by the United States statute for using the malls in further- ance of a scheme to defraud. The Judge had previously denied the motions of George D. Collins, Howe's attorney, for a new trial and arrest of judgment. Sentence that, while Howe's scheme would not decelve a person of a high order of Intelligence, it did deceive per- Sons unacquainted with business meth- ods and who could least afford the money they had lost.
