Cornfleld, journeyman carpenter, of hav- ing defrauded him out of honestly earned ages to the amount of $15, and, Incident- ally, of having disturbed the peace by re- fusing to pay said sum. Mrs. Cohen’s unsolicited pleading was in advocacy of her husband's cause, of course, and ran the gamut of forensic varfety, ranging from most scathing in- vective to tender appeal. Nor was she discriminative in her selection of persons to address. When the Judge avoided her eye she transferred it to Clerk Gray, then to Btenographer Long, then to the immo- bile countenance of Balliff Hickey, and finally to the tittering assemblage of chair-warmers. Her vocal organism was unimpaired when the case was disposed of, and she was talking when the suc- ceeding case was well under way. Mr. Cohen agreed to pay the $15.

John Wilson, middle-aged, decently garbed and bearded like a pard (whatever that may be), menacingly brandished a revolver in George Spiro’s restaurant, 12 Hayes street, for which he was arrested and booked for assault with a deadly weapon, After hearing the testimony, however, Judge Mogan ordered that the complaint be amended to read, ‘“‘exhibit- ing a deadly weapon in a rude and threat- ening manner,” and the revised charge will be heard next Friday. A combination of Mr. Spiro's clumsiness and Mr. Wilson's whiskers was alleged to have led to the pistol play. Mr. Wil- son had ordered eggs, soft-scrambled, and Mr. Spiro took the order and also de- livered it, but in ths process of delivery his foot slipped, or his elbow was jog- gled, the result being that the dish of mixed-up eggs was deposited upon Mr. Wilson’s facial appendage, Iinstead of upon the table. Endeavoring to claw the yellow mass from its nestling place, but actually digging it more deeply therein, Mr. Wilson angrily demanded of Mr. — ~+ Spiro what in thunder—or something else —he meant bv his awkwardness, nor would he stay his harangue to listen to apologetic explanation. Eventually the store of Mr. Spiro’s patience became ex- hausted. and he, too, waxed angry. Mr. Wilson avers he did not draw his shooting iron untii his head had been vio- lently tapped by a coffee-cup in one of Mr. Spiro’s hands, but Mr. Spiro declares he had never so much as spoken harshly. much less committed assault, when he | was both astonished and frightened by Mr, Wilson's sudden display of flrearms. Mr. Wilson's whiskers had been reno- vated when he appeared in court. e Dominick Presto was one of a group of Ttallans who stood at Green and Dupont streets and jeered at Patrolman R, -Mor- ton as he was passing by, and when Dom- inick was arrested and escorted to a patrol box he expressed his contempt for his captor by deliberately expectorating upon the sidewalk, after he had been warned that to do so was law-defying. His defense will be heard next Saturday by Judge Mogan. Patrolman Morton’s work in pursuing the | authors of recent tragedies in the Latin Quarter has made him extremely unbe- loved by the criminal element of that dis- trict. e ——— New Year's at Hotel Del Monte, Enjoy the glass-bottom boats, hot ealt water swimming, riding, driving, tennis and golf on the finest course in California.
