Irregular living had thinned its body and roughed its coat, and many unhealed wounds bore mute testimony to its recent maltreatment by dogs of superior combative prowess. To 1| fall in love at first sight with such a ca- nine derelict was simply out of the ques- tion. Therefore to humaneness alone could its adoption be ascribed.

What was its name?” softly asked Po- Judge Cabaniss, before whom Edward Hensley, a journeyman baker, was ac- cused of having pilfered the rejuvenated treasure. “His name was Bessie,” murmured Miss Schumann. “HIS name was WHAT?" exclaimed the bench. = “Bessie,” Miss Schumann reiterated. Prosecutor Rogers was about to address a question to the lady when the Judge's frown restrained him. Mr. Hensley challenged Miss Schumann 3 1S PESSIE AND HE'S A FOX TERRIE! ! — | .

She merely suspected that he was the purloiner be- cause he had dwelt in her house and ap- preciated her tender regard for Bessie, and was of spiteful nature. “‘She nefer owned der tog, nohow,” Mr. Hensley averred prior to his dismissal. Casr ey | Counsel for H. P. Robson, the aged Humboldt County citizen who accuses Mrs. Minnie Davis and her husband, Al, of having feloniously got away with $10,000 of his money, sprang a sensation by plac- ing upon the witness stand Mrs. Ella Brownlee of 4 Twenty-fourth avenue, who was residing with the Davises when the alleged victimization of Mr. Robson was planned and partly executed. Mrs. Davis gasped surprise when her former friend was introduced by the prosecution, and ~Mr. Davis, usually imperturbable, wriggled uneasily in his chair. Mrs. Brownlee stated that the first she heard of Mr. Robson was when Mr. Da- vis, then a street car conductor, informed his wife that the old man had been one of his passengers that day. “If you see him again bring him out here,” Mrs. Da- vis said, “and we'll get even for that sa- loon deal he beat us on in Humboldt County.” A few days later Mr. Robson was brought to the Davis home by its masculine head, and he was taken {n hand by Mrs. Davis, who persuaded him to re- side there. She kept him in semi-intoxi- cation and helped herself to money from his pocket. “I'll get all his coin,” she told Mrs. Brownlee, “‘and then I'll leave my baby with Al's mother and desert Al, who has not been faithful to me—" 1t was a loud and derisive “Ha! ha!” from Mrs, Davis that interrupted the testimony. As she uttered it the lady glanced at her husband's face, but no mirth was reflected-there. The hearing will be resumed today. s e .

Was she sober?” “No. I saw her on Fulton street. be- tween Seventh amd Eighth avenues, with a man, and both of them were in- toxicated. I asked her who her com- panion was, and she said, ‘Oh, he's one of my husbands.’” “Ah, an answer reflective of the true Is she an old of- fender, or merely a debutante in ine- briety?” “She's been roaming around Fulton street at all hours.” “Like the ghost of Banquo, she would not down, eh?

Despite that pea, he was pronounced gullty of ths battery charge filed by Mrs, Curtis and will be sentenced today by Judge Shortall. Mrs. Curtis and her brother and his wife were walking at Fourth and Fol- som streets when the gentleman and his better half engaged In altercatlon, and the lady seemed to be getting the worst of the encounter as Mr. Keating stepped out of a near-by saloon, saw how the tide of combat was drifting and gallantly went to her rescue.

Stod- dard, for $10,000 Damages W. J. WATSON ALSO TO BE MADE DEFENDANT Plaintiff Claims They “En- ticed Away and Abducted” Better Half and Boy, Who Are Now on Way East The denouement of ‘an exciting scene that entertained a large crowd at the Third and Townsend streets depot on Saturday afternoon, February 10, came yesterday when Robert Crawford brought sult agalnst Mrs. Sarah Makee of 616 Baker street for $10,000 damages for “en- ticing away and abducting” his wife, Lulu Makee Crawford. Attorney R. Por- | ter Ashe represents the plaintiff. Today he will bring a similar suit for Crawford against W. J. Watson, 728 Cole street, manager of the Pacific Refining and Roof- ing Company. Additional suits will be battering ram against the door, and while thus engaged he was arrested. o e | C. Chester Morland, a tonsor em- | ployed at 412 Market street, was pro- | nounced guilty of petty larceny and | will be sentenced today by Judge Mo- | gan. | The complaining witness was Samuel Ruhner, a book agent residing at 431A Turk street, who averred that after the defendant had shaved him he was presented with a bill for $1.15, the ex- tra one dollar ing claimed as com- pensation for the alleged removal of | a “blackhead” from his nose. When he protested he was given to understand that his exit would be prevented until he settled the bill, so, having to fulfill a pressing business engagement, he paid the $1.15 and then caused Mr. Mor- Ia arrest. “It is evident,” sald the Judge to the defendant, “that you are employed in a hold-up concern.” “A regular skin game, in more than | one sense of that term,” commented Prosecutor Duke. . « o When he went home and found that | his wife was not there B. Ortes hurried to the residence of L. Hossario, 263 Minna street, and nolsily accused that | gentleman of having abducted the lady, | for which he was arrested and booked for peace disturbance. “I have got her back again,” he sald to Judge Cabaniss, “Instead of congratulating you,” re- sponded his Honor, “T'll give you a dose of O. R., which means release on your own recognizance, and will repeat it at monthly , intervals untll I'm satisfied you are capable of keeping the peace.” Mo Tk In the possession of Mrs. Marie Leonetti, arrested for shoplifting in Hale Bros' department store, were found some plunder and a book showing that $800 is deposited to her credit in the Union Savings Bank. She is middle-aged, attired in cheap and gaudy apparel, and sayg she lives on Twenty-fourth street. Judge Mo- gan will scntence her today for petty larceny. . . Cornelius Dunn, aged, infirm and seemingly honest, was accused of va- grancy, and his tale brought from Judge Shortall a cash contribution suf- ficlent to keep him out of vagabondage until next week, when he will obtain employment. He was a carpenter until years and deblility incapacitated him for active work at his trade and then he was too proud to beg sustenance from the children, the rearing of whom had prevented him providing for the rainy day. . Olaft Dorff obtruded his presence and counsel into an impromptu meeting of hodcarriers in a saloon at 921% How- ard street and now he is in a hospital and Edward Fahey Is detained for hav- ing battered him. He alleges that Mr. Fahey did not monopolize the battery, but was the only batterer who awaited arrest. Mr. Dorft is badly injured and the case will' be heard next Friday— maybe. « s e After he was released from the Branch County Jail, where he served a term for petty larceny, Henry Beach procured a quantity of opium, reversed his necktle and returned to the institu- tion, where he sought admittance on the grourd that his name was Riley and he desired to tender expression of his undiminished esteem tc and for Dan Murphy, one of the prisoners Strange to relate, his disguise was penetrated by the gatekeeper, who Instantly grabbed and searched him, found the opium and arrested him for attempting to convey the drug into a prison.

Mrs. Makee is the sister of Charles War- | ren Stoddard, the author, and Mrs. Craw- ford is consequently the niece of the f: mous writer, Mrs. Makee is a widow of wealth. Just about the time the overland train was to pull out of the Third and Town- send streets depot on the evening of February 10 the travelers gathered there saw a man endeavoring to prevent a wo- man and a little boy from passing through the gates to the train. She was being aided in her efforts to reach the train by an elderly man and an elderly woman, the former of whom held her tickets and hand baggage. WOMAN ESCAPES TO TRAIN. The man who was trying to block the way of the younger woman shouted that she was his wife and that an effort was being made to abduct her. He seemed in such a desperate mood that a police- man seized and searched him to see whether he had a revolver on his per- son. He had no weapon. In the mean- time his wife had passed through the gate and the man attempted to follow. He was stopped by the gatekeeper on the ground that he had no ticket. He at | once bought a ticket for San Jose and then was denied admission on the ground that ke was only going inside to create a disturbance. The train bearing his wife and boy pulled out, leaving him still out- side the gate. 0 The parties to this scene were Mrs. Makee, Mr. Watson, the plaintiff in the suits, and_ his wife and boy. Crawford's story is that he had gone to Santa Clara County to fix up a place that had been rented by him for the pur- pose of keeping summer boarders and that his wife was to join him there in a short time. She was in the meantime with her mother. On February 10 he re- celved a letter from his mother-in-law in which she sald she was going east in the spring and wanted her daughter to remain with her until the middle of March. His wife wrote that she wished to remain longer with her mother. Craw- ford came to San Francisco that day and says he saw Mrs. Makee, Mrs. Crawford and the little boy board a Third-street car. He asked his mother-in-law what it meant and she sald Mrs. Crawford and the boy were going to the country for a little while., At the depot Mr. Watson appeared with the tickets and Crawford ADVERTISEMENTS.

LOSES WIFE'S AFFECTIONS. | Mrs. Makee was ill last evening and refused to make a statement. A friend | of the family sald, however, that Craw- ford had failed to provide fof his wite and child, who had been supported by Mrs. Crawford’s mother; that he had treated his wife cruelly, had drurk a great deal and had squandered money that Mrs. Makee gave him to keep him up. Mrs. Crawford had no love remaln- ing for her husband, this person said, and was glad to leave him. A year ago she left him and went to Honolulu, but returned to him, partly on the solicitation of her mother and Mr. Watson, who hoped Crawford would re- form. Crawford came to this city from Tennessee and married Miss Makee seven years ago. He was at that time em- ployed at the University Club. “I acted in this matter as an old friend of the family,” sald Mr. Watson last mght. “There was no alienation of affec- tions, as Mrs. Crawford has ceased to care for her husband and wishes only to be rid of him. Her mother consulted me and we agreed that it was best to send her East. Mrs. Makee has treatéd Crawford with great kindness and has done a great deal for him, but it has all done no goed.” | The suits as already stated are for ab- | duction and enticing away, and no men- | tion is made of allenation of affections, | which makes the procedure rather novel, though based on the statute. e —— EDNA WALLACE HOPPER’'S COUNSEL ARE ENCOURAGED Judge Coffey Holds There Is No Mis- joinder of Parties in Action im Equity. Although they must content them- selves under the disappointment of a temporary setback that means at least two weeks' delay, Edna Wallace Hop- per and Joan Olive Dunsmuir have won a substantial point in their fight for a portion of the Alexander Dunsmuir millions. A demurrer to their petition in equity to declare James Dunsmulir, executor of and sole devisee under the will of the late Alexander Dunsmulr, trustee solely for his own and the ben- efit of the plaintiffs was sustained by Judge Coffey yesterday, but only upon the ground of ambiguity of allegation. ages the plaintiffs in thelir belief that The court held that the contention of the defendant that there was a mis- joinder of parties in the suit was not ell taken, and as to that ground over- ruled the demurrer. . Counsel for the plaintiffs were given ten days in which to amend their com- plaint, when it will be again passed | upon. The fact that Judge Coffey re- | fused to sustain the petition on the ground of misjoinder of parties encour- they have at last struck the legal high- way that will take them to ultimate victory. —_———————— Hold Annual Election.
