A T o — BY JAMES C. CRAWFORD. Jules Martinez, long of hair and sharp of feature, sat upon a lower Pa- cific-street curbstone at 4:30 o'clock a. | m. and breathed melancholia through a B-flat flute. His soul was laden with | love unrequited, she for whose affec- tion he hungered having departed the dance hall under chosen escort of the | snare drummer. And as Jules Martinez | bethought him of her rare intellectual, | physical and terpsichorean charms be- ing captured by a prosaic thumper of sheepskin his mingled chagrin and sor- row found expression in most dismal andante. Among those who heard the dispirit- ing strains was one Jerry O'Brien, clas- | sified as “hop-head” by police charac- ter students, and he did not relish the quality of the music. Approaching the player, he ejaculated: | “Wotinell kine o’ cat-cryin’ ’s that ye're a-givin' iz? Are ye sick?” Senor Martinez answered not, but | continued to wake the matutinal echoes | with his airge. | “Say, lem me git a blow at dat dope- | pipe an’ I'll give ye suthin' worth | hearin’,” said Mr. O'Brien, after walt- |ing a reasonable period for oral re- | sponse to his query. As he spoke he | grasped the flute, but Senor Martinez clung to it and remonstrated. “No, no, my friend,” he protested, in | tone almost as saddening as his instru- mentation had been. “T'll toot dat moo automobile chune de awjences w'istle at de Orpheum Mr. O'Brien insisted, maintaining his grasp and wrenching until the wrist bones of Senor Martinez creaked. The howl of pain emitted by the senor | brought Patrolman Nelson to the spot, |and he booked both his prisoners for | @isturbing the peace by fighting. After the forlorn musician had nar- rated his side of the story to Police Judge Mogan the other defendant was requested to unfold his tale. “Dis greaser's a t'ousand miles away from de troot,” he spid. “I wuz a-pass- in’ him by, an’ not sayin’ a word t' no- buddy an’ not a-doin’ a t'ing neider w'en ’e ups an’ tries t' lam me wid dat | blowpipe o' his. O' coorse I purtected meself. D'yve tink I wuz a-goin' t stan’ an’ let me nut be cracked f'T not- 7 “Where do you reside?” the Judge in- quired. X “Sout’ o’ de slot,” replied Mr. O'Brien. | “And what were you doing on the | Rarbary Coast at half-past 4 o'clock a m? “] went up der' t' borry a mornin’ paiper frum a friend o mine wot *scribes £'r it. I wanted t' look over de want ads. an’ den go an’ hunt & chob o' wolk."” Senor Martinez was dismissed and | Mr. O'Brien was remanded for investi- | gation. The face of Senor Martinez al- most brightened, and his “Thank you, sir,” was more spoken than sighed. “Well, 't dis ain’t de very lmit.” was Mr. O'Brien’s comment as he dejectedly returned to the cage. PR ) “I've bin a-livin' close t' nacher,” John McCarthy, heavily bearded horribly unclean of person. “Nature has my sympathy,” said Judge Shortall, “and I will relieve her of an un- desirable neighbor by sending you to jail | for six months. It's the best I can do for her just now.” Mr. McCarthy wab arrested in the Southern Pacific freight yards by Special Officers Lewin and Madden, who pro- nounced him the most hopeless case of vagabondage within their ken. “ s . E. W. Maler, a special policeman em- ployed at the Chutes, complained that he had been robbed of $20 by a courtesan whom he visited while Intoxicated, and Judge Cabaniss told him that the lack of philosophy which led him to encompass the woman’s arrest and his own exposure was the saddest phase of the case, which was ultimately dismissed. . s e Judge Shortall awarded to Mrs. Henri- etta Johnson a pair of roller skates which Phil 8. O’'Mara, manager of the Pavillon rink, was accused of having wrongfully taken from her seven-year-old son Charles, and Judge Mogan ascer- tained that the same Mr. O'Mara, who recently ceme here from the East, was alleged to be the primal cause of trouble between Harry Meyer, a railway clerk, sald and THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDA BREATHES HEART AGONY (EANES 010 J0p , - THROUGH B-FLAT FLUTE JANUARY 26, 1906.

So he felt that all his art was in demand to beguile the shrewd seeress. But the task turned out to be less difficult than the sleuth had anticipated, for she astonished him by readily giv- ing credence to his statement that he was a miner recently arrived from the mountains. “You needn't tell me who or what + o you are,” she sald, steadily gazing into his eyes. His heart was sinking when she abruptly buoyed it with the rejoin- der, “Any one can see that you're a miner by simply looking at you.” He selected handreading as the me- dium of having his soul secrets revealed, because he knew that the usual prelim- inary formula weas to cross the palm with silver to make it more easy of perusal. So he gave the lady a half- dollar coin, and after passing it across his spatulous hand, nestling in her own tiny one, she pocketed it. He quietl exulted. The trick was turned. L “You want me to tell you,” Madame Davis said, “what your uppermost wish is.” “Let's hear it,” said the deceiver. “You have rich relatives,” she mur- mured, peering at his palm, “and you wish that when they die they will leave you lots of money.” > “You're a li—prevaricator!” he yelled, jerking away his hand and placing it upon one of her draped shoulders. “My uppermost wish is to cinch you, and I've got the evidence to do it.” “To-morrow,” said Madame Davis to Judge Conlan, “I shall have enough testimony here to crush this detective's story to mush.” “We're dyving to hear it,” said the court, jotting down the requlsite change of data. Fourteen-year-old Josephine Velasco, in®*mourning garb, told Judge Mogan of how her stepfather, George Lichener, a printer, took $100 from the trunk which her mother had bequeathed to hef and spent the money in riotous living. It was a pitiful narrative. When on her deathbed the mother gave the little girl the key to the trunk and told her that therein she would find $100 which had been saved up to enable her to go and live with rela- tives in Mexico. Ere the woman was dead two hours Lichener forcibly took the key from the child, opened the trunk and decamped with the cash. Lichener is accused of grand larceny, and his attorney is endeavoring to prove that the $100 was community property, although the little girl swears that her mother had the money when she re- marrfed. The hearing was continfied till February 1st. . o . Hans Tornquist, mariner, desired that his spouse, Mollie, be reprimanded, but not imprisoned, for her frivolity while he was voyaging. “While you cruised the bounding deep she crulsed the Barbary Coast,” sald Judge Cabaniss, “and she is really deserving of punishment more severe than reprimand. However, it is your funeral, Hans, and your wish 1s granted by this court.” \ “If she were mine,” quoth Patrolman and his young wife. Mrs. Meyer told her husband that while she was employed by O'Mara * he In- sulted her, and the information, instead of prompting Mr. Meyer to reprisal, drove him to drink. While intoxicated he bat- tered his informant and threatened to shoot her mother, at whose residence, 655 Post street, she took Mrs. Meyer does not desire to prose- cute her husband, but her mother de- mands his punishment by law.

Myers in the United States District Court yesterday saved him from jall. Myers was up for sentence on his plea of guilty to an indigtment charging him with having defrauded A. R. Flood, a,restaurant man, ouf of $3 25 worth of meals on the representa- tion that he was an employe of the United States Railway mail service. Judge de Haven, in passing what was practically a judgment of dismis- sal, remarked that he did not believe that the statute under which the vora- clous young man had been indicted in- tended to cover such cases as the one before him and make them felonies, but -that, as the prisoner had pleaded guilty, it was incumbent upon the court to pass judgment. He therefore sen- tenced the prisoner to pay a fine of $10 without alternative of imprison- ment. Myers thereupon was allowed to depart a free man. From the tenor of Judge de Haven's remarks it was evident that he was loth to place the brand of a felon upon the brow of a defendant for fraudu- lently obtaining a few meals, and that he did not consider that Congress in- tended to do anything of the kind when the statute was framed under which the indictment had been found. Myers was a United States soldier in the Philippines, and after his discharge at Manila worked for a short time as a clerk in the postoffice at that place. When arrested here byePostofice In- spector O’'Connell, several forged cer- ticates of employment were found in his pockets. These were to the effect that Myers was an employe of the railway mail service in this city and purported to have been written by C. L. Hobbs, clerk in that department. The certificates and the signatures were in Myers' handwriting. -After procuring the meal tickets from Flood, Myers or- dered a $35 suit of clothes from Kelle- her & Browne, in the Grant building, and exhibited one of the forged certifi- cates for the purpose of establishing his credit. After taking his measure something in Myers’ manner caused the taflors to become suspicious and they made inquiry at the Postoffice, where they ‘learned that Myers was an im- postor, and his arrest followed. e e SANTA BARBARA MAN TAKEN ON NATURALIZATION FRAUD Manager of Swell Saloon at Seaside Resort Is Indicted by Fed- eral Jurs. Arthur Meyer, manager of the Favorite sa- loon at Sante Barbara, was brought up from Los Angeles yesterday on a warrant of re- moval based upon an {ndictment by the Federal Grand Jury In this city charging him with hav- ing committed perjury in the matter of the naturalization of Christian R. Rademacher be- fore Judge Murasky on”May 22, 1903. Meyer is charged with having sworn on that occasion that he had known Rademacher in the United States s a resident for five years, when in trath and in fact he had not known him as such for more than two and a half years. Meyer was released on filing a bail bond for Jobn A. Moore, mrrested at Bureka on a Federal indictment charging him with perjury, ‘Was released on filing a bail bond at that lace.
