When his right elhow crashed through the front window of Ah Fat's chop suey establishment, at Pacific and Stockton streets, Willlam Caskey was extending the bellows of an accordeon, and so thorough- 1y was he enthralled by the sounds ema- nating from the instrument that he did not even know the glass was broken until Ah Fat excitedly called his attention to the damage and incidentally demanded $15 to compensate him for it. Mr. Caskey refused payment, (1) because he did not + have $15 in his possession at that time, and (2) because he regarded $15 as about $14 above reasonable price for the break- age. That was how he came to be for- mally accused of malicious mischief by Ah Fat in the court of Police Judge Mo- gan. It was disclosed in testimony that Mr. Caskey, who appeared youthful and of poetic temperament, is employed at “Charlie” Mitchell’s cafe, in the North Beach district, and that among the func- tions performed by him is that of leading Mr. Mitchell's group of instrumentalists, invariably alluded to by the tesidents of that locality as. “Charlie’s Chi Ping Band.” The term “Chi Ping” was derived from a dainty much affected by Italian fishermen and consisting of as many dif- ferent kinds of marine life, finny and crustacean, as can be contributed to the caldron in which the mess is cooked. The more numerous and varied the ingredients the more delicious the resultant mixture, when ready to serve. So as Mr. Mitchell's orchestra was as widely variant in the quality of its components as was the rarest “‘chi pin ever dished up to hun- gering children of Italia, ““The Chi Ping Band” it was aptly titled. Mr. Caskey was alternately squeezing and pulling the strains of ‘Dearie,” an- dante movement, out of his accordeon and giving proper sustenato to a crescendo finale when his elbow shattered Ah Fat's window. The swelling note was not con- cluded when Ah Fat pounced upon the player, rudely plucked him from ecstacy and chatteringly demanded the $15, with the result hereinbefure recorded. Judgment is reserved by the ccurt until a special committee of one has investi- gated Ah Fat's claim and reported the amount of pecuniary solace to which he is Justly entitled. . s . Both the young stepson and middle-aged wife of Frank Marty, a huge German, whose head was swathed in bandages as he stood before Judge Cabaniss, testified that he was deserving of more punish- ment than he had received physically, and that was why they caused his arrest on the charges of battery and peace disturb- ance. Mr. Marty, however, averred that he was entitled to sympathy instead of imprisonment from the court. The stepson, Joseph G. Von Euw, testified that on Monday evening -while he was donning his coat his stepfather filed protest and then struck him a vio- lent blow on the face. “We mixed,” continued Mr. Von Euw, “and fought out to the back porch, where he knocked me over the ralling, and I would have dropped forty feet if moth- er hadn’t caught my foot and held it. She saved my life.” “My husband was drunk,” Mrs. Marty averred, “and had no reason for strik- ing the boy at all.” - “Nein,” Mr. Marty ejaculated through an aperture in his-swathing, “dot not so iss. Der poy subborted I hef, und too fresh ter me-he vas. He go: home last nighd, und ven mine beck turned arount vass mid von heavy weight mine head he shtrook. Der goot lickin' den I gifs him.” Mr. Marty was fined $10. . s e Neighbors of Mrs. Otto Helkenberg of 1205 Polk street have been sub- penaed by Judge Mogan to confirm or deny her complaint that for three years past her husband, a baker, “h not drawn a sober breath,” and also has falled to properly provide for the maintenance of his family, Mr. Hel- kenberg was not intoxicated when he appeared in court, and his drawing of sober breath did not seem to pain him much. « s e Mary Gufferty, accused of having pil- fered $30 from a male adult whom she met for the first tfme in a Minna-street saloon, the scene of her alleged offense, seemed to be less concerned by the charge of theft than by certain reflec- tions cast upon her sense of propriety. Most emphatically did she deny that the beer purchased for her by . the complainant was served in a can, and with profound earnestness she asserted tha¥§ her innate modesty would never haveé permitted her to approach close enough to him to enable her to pick his pocket. She would llke to have Judge Conmlan, also Prosecutor Flood, distinctly understand that she never consumed beer from any other vessel than a bottle; that she was a perfect lady, even though she might not look the part. “But your manners are not assal'ed in this complaint,” the Judge reminded her. “It accuses you of petty lar- ceny.” “Never mind that,” she responded; “I'll allow nobody to say that T don’t know how to behave myself in the presence of a gentleman.” But the court insisted on minding the alleged larceny, and today he will decide whether she committed it. . IR Bill Thomas (colored) repeated in presence of Judge Mogan his opinfon that Sam Sims was “a bad niggah.”” Mr, ce Magistrate. CRAWFORD. Sims accused Mr, Thomas of having pursued him with a large revolver and deadly Intent. Asked what he did for a livelihood, Mr. Thomas stated that he is employed as a steward by the Carlton Club, an Afro-American social organization, of which Mr. Joseph Gans, the celebrated glovester, {s director general. “En dis yah niggah Sims sez dat he's a Pullman pohtah, when de fack am dat he’s a hop-head en does nuffin’ but smoke dope,” Mr. Thomas pursued. “But he wears blue pantaloons,” Prosecutor Duke suggested. ‘Yissah, he do, en he packs a bunch of keys, too,” was the eager concur- rence. “He malks belieb he's a pohtah, wen he’s no mo’' a pohtah dan you am. He's a bad niggah—dat's de bes’ Ah say 'bout him. If yo' gibs me time teh git it ANh'll bring his reckahd heah, ¢n den yo'll see de kine ob a coon he really is.” “We have heard that he departed last evening for Chicago,” the Judga re- marked. “Doan’ yo’ belleb it—doan’ yo' belieb it. Dat’'s moah ob his Pullman pohtah fake. He's laid up in some dope joint, dat's de Shecawgo he's gwinteh.” Mr. Sims’ record is to be reported to- day by Mr. Thomas, who is at large under bail. s e e If the position from which he was so abruptly ousted had been less spec- tacular, the sense of loneliness that came over Claud Hartzell, hot cake baker, might have been less oppressive, For it had taught him to relish bask- ing within the focus of the spotlight. Separated from the sidewalk by only an expansive sheet of plate glass, he stood in the restaurant at 155 Fourth street and, apprapriately costumed for the vocation, made hot cakes in full view of passing pedestrians, many of whom stopped to admire his deftness and bestow approving nods as he transformed dough into crisp and luscious disks. For one who loved publicity it was a job worth having. After he was arrested for hurling through the window a brick aimed at his successor in the restaurant Mr. Hartzell pleaded the provocation of having been gibed at by the intended recipient of the missile. But the lat- ter's sturdy denial as well as Mr. Hart- zell'’s manner served to convince Judge Mogan that the mischief committed was mischievously conceived, and the pronouncement was that of gulilty. The new hot cake baker averred that for some time prior to the brick throw- ing Mr. Hartzell dallied amid the spec- tators outside the window and darted glances expressive of mingled envy and hatred at him who had supplanted him in the beloved place. . e B By pronouncing M. H. Beacom, dairy- man, guilty of having kept his place of business in an unsanitary condition, Judge Cabaniss conveyed gratification to the secretary of the State Dairy Bu- reau, who prosecuted the case. Sen- tence has been reserved. e After glancing at the big revolver which was produced as material evl- dence agalnst Willlam Brown, arrested for carrying a concealed weapon at Stockton and O'Farrell streets, Judge Conlan promptly gave the defendant his choice of paying $100 or serving as many days in jail. s e Joseph Silvo Perada, for the alleged kidnaping of whom George A. Oaki, a diminutive Jap, was arraigned before Judge Mogan, did not look as if he could easily have been carried away by the defendant, with or without the aid of jiu jitsu. For Joseph’'s years are not less than g score, and he is of typical stocky Itallan physique. How- ever, the facts of the alleged kidnapin, will be developed to-day. . ———————— ELBOW OF ACCORDEONIST ROB JEWEL BREAKS AN FATS GLASS DAMAGE CLAIM FILED It Is Rejected as Exorbitant and Case (ONCERN 47 LUNCH HOUR Bandits Enter a Watch and Diamond Store in Chronicle Building, Fell the Clerk and Make Off With Booty LEAVE TRAY HOLDING GEMS WORTH $2000 Knock Thomas H. Lord Down but, Evidently Frightened Away, Flee With Only $27 and Some Inferior Rings The story of a daylight diamond rob- bery in the Chronicle building yesterday about noon sent police detectives hurrying to the place and inaugurated a search for two men who are charged with a daring though not very successful descent on the Jewelry store of J. Q. Hatch & Co. while only the watchmaker and clerk, Thomas H. Lord, was in the place, which occupies room 4 on the second floor. Lord was nursing a cut over his left eye and seemed generally upset when Police- men Wenzler and Driscoll, who have charge of the crossing at Market, Third and Kearny streets, entered the place, they having been summoned by Mr. Hatch. The patrolmen quickly gathered his story, which was as follows: “l1 was bending over a watch I was re- pairing when the two men came in, about 12:30 o’clock, and one of them asked me if I could change $10 for him. Always ready to be accommodating and thicking he came from a nearby office, I told him yes and stepped behind the showcase at the other side of the room to get at the safe, which was open. The man with the $10 leaned over the showcase, extending the money‘toward me, as if waiting for me to take it when I had secured the change. The other man leaned against the end of the showcase nearest the entrance. ““While I was stooping over trying to take the sllver from the cashdrawer in the safe the man at the end of the show- case suddenly came behind it and pointing a pistol at my head told me not to make a move. Just then one of them struck me on the head. I don’t know which one it was. I was struck several fimes. I be- Neve if was the one outside the showcase who reached over and struck me first. I went half-way to the floor in a dazed con- dition, supporting myself on the showcase stand. “When I came to, in perhaps a few sec- onds, maybe a minute or two, I tele- phoned to Mr. Hatch. No, I did not make any outery. There was no trace of the robbers when I regained my senses. I don’t know what was taken.” J. S. Preston, the other partner in the firm, and detectives were summoned and an Investigation of the loss was made. After it was finished the firm realized that it had a lucky escape from heavy loss. A tray of rings set with small pearls and dfamonds, the whole valued at about $100, had been taken from the showcase. From the safe $27 had been taken. It con- tained $600 more. There was no evidence of any further loss. Two slver dollars were subsequently picked upefrom the floor. In another tray alorgside that the rob- bers took was one containing dlamond rings that ran in value from $310 down. ‘Why the men, even in their haste, did not take this instead of the one with the palpably cheaper rings is not understood and is an indication that the robbers didn’t know much about the business they were engaged in. The diamond rings in the tray were werth. $2000 altogether. ‘The robbers had evidently become fright- ened at something. There was nothing to ADVERTISEMENTS.

In explana- tion of the hasty flight of the robbers, which made it appear still more as if they were amateurs, a member of the firm pointed to the open transom, through which people on the elevator could look directly into the room in ascending and de- scending. While the open transom may have been the cause of their fright; they could easily have closed it without at- tracting attention.
