Having inspected the teethprints in the complainant’'s calf, his Honor heard Mrs. O'Brien, Mrs. Londroneth and Miss ‘Whalen corroborate in every detail the foregoing testimony. When he asked Mrs. Martin to explain why she did it, she applied for and was given until next Wednesday to produce witnesses OF VALUE GIVING both in value-giving and in magnificence.

A flawless-fitting tailor-made suit set off the graces of a figure as perfect as any woman of 40 could reasonably desire to possess, and her plcture hat surmounted a countenance that many a woman of fewer years:might envy. ¢« o . Percy J. Leach, house painter, and A. M. Sutherland, carpenter, were dwellers in “The Industrial Home,” 148 Natoma street, until Judge Conlan transferred Percy’s residence to the County Jail for a period of six 'consecutive fmonths. Mr. Sutherland remains at the old stand. It was for stealing-a suit of Mr.”Suther- land’s clothes that Mr. Leach was given the half-year’s imprisonment. The suit was of light check pattern and spring style, and Mr. Sutherland attached espe- cial value to it because of its perfect fit. He kept its shape carefully preserved while it was off duty, and neither moth nor dust speck was permitted to invade the wardrobe in which it was suspended on wires. ‘What was his horror, therefore, when he saw his prized apparel hanging upon the unsymmetrical figure of Mr. Leach as that gentleman strutted Natoma street last Friday evening! Mr. Sutherland was returning from his daily toil and wearing his working garb when the horrifying sight burst on him, and when he accosted Mr. Leach with demand to know how that person became possessed of the {ll-fitting raiment he was treated with the lofty hauteur that a Brummel would bestow upon a beggar. “How dare you, sir, question me as to where I purchase my clothing?” said Per- cy, and 8o saying he resumed his strut and maintained it until the policeman summoned by Mr. Sutherland arrested him. Mr. Sutherland was gratified to learn that the knee-bagging and shouldes-sag- ging to which his clothing was subjected while on Mr. Leach’s -person could be remedied by means of hot-iron pressure. p s e s By signing a pact to farever abstain from keeping lodgers Mr. and Mrs. John Sieber. induced Judge Mogan to dismiss the charge of reckless shooting on which Mr. Sieber was arrested. Hlis alleged tar- gcts were two adult male boarders in hi} home, 127 Campbell avenue, and the al- leged provocation was their unnecessary attentions to Mrs. Sleber. e . ‘When young and handsome Mr. Rogers, the Assistant District Attorney attached to Judge Cabaniss’ court, undertook to question the equally youthful and even more beautiful Miss Laura McCabe, ac- cused of vagrancy, his Honor intervened. “I positively refuse to permit you, sir, to prosecute this case in behalf of the peo- ple of the State of California,” he said, “because .of the severe ‘test to which it would put your. impartiality. Being a young man, you are doubtless susceptible —as are all young men—to the charms of feminine beauty, especlally when such beauty is in distress, and it is possible that as you look at this fair defendant you are unconsciously moved by the ‘words of the poet— If to her lot some female errors Look but upon her face and them all. “I, however, being much older than you, sir, can trust myself to hear this case as I would hear any other and be pot at all influenced by the personality of the par- tles. Let the testimony proceed.” Mr. Rogers bowed in humility and Miss McCabe gazed pensively at the ceiling while a policeman testified that he had met her alone and at unseemly hours on public thoroughfares, and then the judicial St. Anthony, with unflinch- ing stare at the beauty to which he had so eloquently alluded, sternly de- clared that if its possessor ever came before him again on a similar charge he would incarcerate her for half a year. As the reproved damsel swept from the court a great sigh of rélief pursued her. - fall, you'll forgive e s o o ‘The Griffith sisters, Emma and Mabel, putative colored vocalists and charac- ter artists, jointly announced their in- tention to fight to the bitter end the charge of vagrancy entered against them by Patrolman Percy Smith, who arrested them in the tenderloin section of Mason street. Not long ago the Griffith sisters were complalnants against “Bllly” Pratt, whom they accused of having roughly ejected them from his cafe, and they aver that thelr arrest is the outcome of their intrepidity on that occasion. Pa- trolman Smith, however, avers that he has evidence sufficient to “cinch” them for vagrancy a hundred times over. The hearing has been set for April 2 before Judge Mogan, and the defend- ants are at large on $25 bail aplece. . s e e For selling smoked sturgeon at his { delicatessen, 264 Third street, Peter A. *Ellis was fined §20 by Judge Cabaniss, and simllar penalty for like offense was visited by the same magistrate on Adolph Newman, whose shop is 1079 ! Market street. Both cases were prose- cuted by Fish Commissioner Bishop. ~ . e Two days after his' wife had pre- sented him with twins, in New York City, Herman Cohen abandoned his family and came to this city, assumed a pseudonym and obtained employment as a tinsmith on Howard street. Mrs. Cohen discovered his whereabouts, and now he is in Judge Shortall’s court on a charge of having taken with him on his westward flight a sum of $275 be- Tonging to his better half.
