He Alleges the Lady | Is Hopelessly an Invalid. Betrothal Is Broken and the Chums Have Fight. | BY JAMES C. CRAWFORD. | While it was not positively stated that Alfred Frelman secretly pined to possess the beart and hand which- were be- trothed to his life-long friend, Morris Lebovitz, that Inference was freely drawn | by all who heard. the testimony sub- mitted to Police Judge Cabaniss, before | whom Mr. Freiman -was accused of | having battered Mr. Lebovitz. Else why, | reasoned the auditors, should Alfred have | endeavored to shatter the engagement? { True, they admitted, the marriage or ‘ Morris would have meant a severance of | | | | | | | | | i | | | the Damon-and-Pythlas-like comradeship existing between him and Alfred, but un- less the latter was actuated by chagrin | born of jealousy, he would have gulped regret at losing his old chum, extended a congratulatory hand and wished him eternal benedictine bliss. | “Ah, my dear old friend,” quoth the Lo bl - | [ i \ | [ | 3o lighted to hear that she has promised.to be mine."”" \ Alfred had some trouble with his Adam'’s apple ere he responded, and then his words had blighting effect. *“As your dear old friend,” he said, “it Is my duty to tell you something I know about your dis- flancee not have | | ijo}'ous Morris, 1 know you will be de- { | vhich you may exclaimed Morris, smiting his brow with quivering palm and totter- | ing backward. “What is it? Speak, man, speak!” “Befare 1 speak,” sald Alfred, “you | must pledge your word that she shall never know vour source of information. I don't want to have no jilted female calling me to account.” “The pledge is made,” Morris groaned. Speak and save me from madness, Does she,” he huskily asked, “love amother?" “Wuss nor that,” wag the sententious v. “She’s a consump, and if you y her you'll spend all you make on doctors and dope.’” “Tubercular!” shrieked Morris, and fled. Several days elapsed ere the men again met, and then Mr. Freiman was en route to mail a letter of explanation in reply to one of reproach and censure which he had just recelived from the young wo- man’s parents. Mr. Lebovitz appeared saddened, but resigned, as he stretched forth the right hand of fellowship. ““That affair's all off,” he sighed. glven her up.” “And you've given me away.' hotly retorted, ignoring the han her whole family’s sore on me. goof."” The epithet was accompanied by a men- acing demonstration on the part of Al- fred. “‘He made fists in my face,” Mor- ris told the Judge, thereby implying that Alfred wagged a clenched hand beneath his nose. “He is fined $," said his Honor. * Mr. Lebovitz, who dwells at 220 Sev- enth street, loomed large In stature slongside the man who “made fists” at him. “T've Alfred Judge Shortall dismissed the murder charge against John J. Leek, dentist, who was alleged to have performed a criminal operation that caused the death of Mrs. Mary Mathews. The defense was con- ducted by John J. Greeley, who recently . . was succeeded in the prosecuting attor- ! neyship of Judge Mogan's court. His Honor held that the corpus delicti was not_ proved. | ‘Walter D. Loring, under accusation of having embezzled $70 from his em- ployer, 'W. H. Taylor of 222 Fifth street, was arrested as he sat in one of .the Superior courts and listened to an ap- plication for guardianship of his chil- dren, who were left destitute when he disappeared. His case will be heard to- i morrow by Judge Mogan. e Bernard Logan and Willlam Wright were fined $40 apiece for having bat- tered Gus Peterson and R. W. Forbes, trolley car operatives, after the bulk of the testimony had gone to show that Messrs. Logan and Peterson carried the bulk of the -alleged trucuience. The defendants were passengers on a southbound Third-street car, of which | the complainants were the crew, and when the former debarked at the coast line station they “had some | words” with the other pair, which cul- | minated, Mr. Logan averred, in Mr. | Peterson placing a thumb point against his nose tip and wagging extended | fingers, thereby expressing contempt, if'| not loathing, for Mr. Logan. Soon after- | ward the quartet again met at the Star | Hotel and Mr. Logan averred that Mr. Peterson Iimmediately reopened/ hos- tilities by “making a lick” at head. “I ducked it,” continued Mr. Logan, “and as I came up I handed him an up- percut on the jaw, but he came back and swung again and I pasted him an- other on the face. Then the reward of valor was Im- posed. 2 In strident tone and apparently relishing her recital, Mrs. Kate Foley, youthfyl and comely, told Judge Ca- baniss how she had held at pistol point for ten consecutive minutes the N ©-0-D-DONT Svicor ;! ik | i J b +- man whom she discovered in the act of burglarizing.her dwelling, 2198 Fol- som street. Richard K. Lyons was sub- sequently arrested for the felony and Mr. Foley opined that he was the in-| vader she so pluckily held at bay. “When he came into the dining-room,” she said, “I threw the gun on him quick and told him.to stop or I'd shoot. He threw up his hands and said, ‘Don’t| shoot me, lady; don’'t shoot me.' He | was about ten feet away from me. ‘Stand right where you are,’ I sald, ‘or T'll shoot sure’ I just wanted to bluff | him to a standstili, but I didn’'t want him to know that. Of course, I didn’t | want to kill him in my own house—" | “And spoll the carpet,” ventured his Honor. i | “Yes, and spoil the carpet,” laughed | Mrs. Foley. “I just wanted to bluff him | to a standstill, and after he ran out he | jumped a ten-foot fence without put- | ting a hand to it, and I fired at him, and | he ran down Shotwell street, and—" | “He ran down Shotwell, but you | dldn’t shoot well,” quoth the bench. “That's 1t,” Mrs. Foley laughed. Mr. Lyons denied point blank that he was the man whom Mrs. Foley so neatly “bluffed to a standstlll” and the case went over for further hearing. . we Cornelius Walsh, a street beggar with penchant for oratory, was given six months by Judge Mogan for having raised his volce in tloquent appeal for alms from pedestrians passing the Palace Hotel. The .arresting policeman testified that Mr. Walsh “made a touching talk,” and Mr. Walsh, with a grin, slangily re- marked that he had not “made a touch” since last Tuesday. B .« . “It'to imprison you would not equall: punish this little creature. I'd sentence you to the limit,” was Judge Cabaniss® feprimand to Willlam F. Gillesple, car- penter, accused of having battered his child wife in their home at 26 Norfolk | street. She is 16 years old, fragile and pretty, and her assailant is nigh to two- score. “I was sewing on the machine,” she told the Judge, ‘‘when he came home drunk, and when I told him that supper was ready he swore and threw me across the room. We were married five months ago.” A ““This is one of the cases that exemplify the inadequacy of our laws to prevent and punish wife-beating,” said his Honor. “If 1 send this fellow to jail his wife will | be deprived of maintenance, and thus she will suffer as much as him. For her sake I must let him go on probation, with a warning that If his offense is repeated I will sentence him to the utmost penalty | prescribed by the law." : | Then the court attaches told each other | that a whipping-post for wife-beaters is | one of California’s long-felt wants. ; ., e Twelve hours after his release from San Quentin, where he served a term for | swindling, Howard Hodge of San Diego was arrested while endeavoring to pass | a forged check on the German National Bank of this city. He was booked as Howard Smith, alias Jones, but among the papers found in his pockets was a de- crec of divorce that disclosed his identity. While en route to the Central police sta- tion he became so obstreperous that Pa- trolman Walsh, his captor, was compelled to prostrate and handcuff him. Judge Mogan will hear the charge against him next Wednesday. ————————— SONS OF CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS TO ORGANIZE Meet Next Friday Evening to Discuss and Adopt Pluns for Carrying On San Francisco Chapter.
