He re- tired to an adjacent alley and bided. Mr. Johnson had just bade the host and hostess good-night, and was starting | ! | from the alley and lunged at his person with' a pocketknife, slightly cutting his head and neck. “We're friends,” said Mr. Johnson to Judge Cabaniss, before whom Mr. Homi- son was accused of having committed an | assault with a deadly weapon, “and I | don’t want to swear to no complaint.” | “I'll continuge the hearing until ‘to-mor- row,” responded his Honor, “by which time you may: have reconsidered your determination. ‘Even if the case fails for lack of -prosecution it will go.on- record as a complete annihilation of the Congre- velan adage. that credits music with pow- er to socthe savage breasts.

Miss Moore wus arrested at O'Farrell and Mason streets. % . Nineteen-year-old Kittle Healey, ar- rested for peace disturbance, told Judge Shortall that she would prefer sojourning in a reformatory Institution to serving a term in jail and when her aunt offered to pay for her keeping In the former place, his Honor sent her, without com- mitment, to St. Catherine’s Home, San Jose, and cgnunued her case till Febru- ary 10. r‘l,;hz girl was imported from Ireland /about three years ago by her aunt, a Mrs. Bennett, and she soon abandoned that person’s home and went to Clover- dale where she became engaged to marry a young man.

Hence her cdnulxnm.em. to San Jose. 3 As in the leading narrative of this serles, a gultar figured in the altercation . that resulted in Andrew Clay (colored) being accused of having / unprovokedly battered the head of pold Vargez (white). And the coincidence was strengthened by Judge Cabaniss having the case in hand. According to the tale unfolded by Mr. Vargez, whose head was bandaged, he and Mr. Clay were joint tenants of the numbered 7 Division street, and when Mr. Vargez's wife fell sick he borrowed from Mr. Cla of §25 with which to purchase medi- Made by the J.

As the charge that of as: o t against Mr. @ay was It with a deadly weapon and as Mr. Vargez could not prove that such a’ weapon was used against him, the defectiveness of the complaint neces- sitated dismissal of the case. s E. J. Shelmadine was talking to his 14- vear-old daughter at Twelfth and Mission streets when Mrs. Nettie Richardson, in- ebriated, approached mm threateningly ang shouted: “How dare you ask that child to elope with you?" The little girl ran away affrighted and Mrs. Richardson pursued her, shouting assurance that there would be no elope- ment nor kidnaping, either, as long as she was around. S Accused of peace disturbance, she told Judge Mogan that she was en route to visit her mother in the Mission when she distinetly overheard the man propose to the girl that she run away with him gnd become his bride. ““Well, when 1 sentence you,” said the Judge, “you will be enabled to resume your journey to the Mission. The Branch County Jail is out there and Sherift O'Neil will be your host. He is the soul of hospitality." . . ‘When she changed her place of resi- dence Mrs. J. E. Miiler took from the house of Mrs. M. Plehn, 743 Howard street, a kerosene lamp and left be- hind her a countérfeit presentment of her .own countenance, done in crayon and ;peautifully framed. She sent a messenger for the picture, but Mrs, Plebn would not give it up until the lamp, which she alleged was her prop- €rty, was returned, and that was how | the two ladies came to confront each other in presence of Judge Conlan. “The lamp is mine,” Mrs. Plehn de- | clared, “and when I get it she can have . her old picture.” “The Jamp is mine,” = Mrs. Miller countered, “ and I'm going to keep {1t, and I hope my pieture will do her | lots of good.” | “Then it only remains for me to let it go at that” was the court's —pro- nouncement. . Mrs. Loretta Laricks, young, slen- | der and pretty, told Judge Mogan that when her husband, William R., desert- | ed her about eight months ago she went to work in a laundry to earn sustenance for herself and month-old babe. “Why did he abandon you?” ]r’xuh"ed his Honor. “Oh, he told me he was tired of mar- ried lifprand he went away, so I went to work,” was the ingenious reply. “What eclse could 1 do?” she added, "Lmling the Judge's pitying glance at | her. | "Il find something else for him to |do than calmly repudiate his marital | obligations,” was the response.

Young, formerly man- ager of the California Safe Deposit and Trust Company and later with the Union Trust Company, who gave, evi- dence yesterday which proves that some one intimate with Stinson accom- plished his murder. Young was a close friend of Stinson and was his business counselor. To him Stinson confided his secrets of wealth. Young declared yes- terday. that he had been of the opinion | for years that his friend was murdered | for hi€ money. | “Stinson was a very wealthy man,” sald Young yesterday afternoon to a | representative of The Call. “I knew him well.
