AvlltAisous RECORD.
The Criminal Notoriety Gained by
James Powelson.

We notice the arrest Of one James
Powelson at San Francisco, charged
with the crime Of vagrancy. The name
Powelson Is familiar 10 the criminal rec
erds OF this city as belonging to that
class of beings who subsist upon the
earnings OF frail women. Powelson is an
old resident of this city, and nominally
had the occupation of a house-painter,
For years he has abandoned all decent
svocations and devond himself entirel'
to iewd and licentious life, bat alway
managed by some hook or crook to q
cape merited punishment for his criminl
career In this city. While here he I'D,

manner. backed BY his family copec-

sidious designs in inveigling severs in

Several years ago he was the partner

Jury, was acquitted. After living for a

this woman, she became i'll aad no long.
or fit subject for his nefsrious pur-
poses, 20 he secured all her earnings and
abandoned her for fresher and more fas-
cinAting mediums. For leading this
abandoned life in houses Of ill.fane he
was twice or three times brought before
the bar OF justice to answer to the charge
OF yagrancy. Each time, through
the aid Of able counsel, and
the influence of relatives and the more
potent showing Of considerable hank
account accumulated from the earnings
OF his unfortunate victims, he managed
to 90 work upon the sympathy Of the
Jurors as to escape his thrice deserved
punishment. 1t was we'll known in DO
lice circles that he had the entry to all
houses OF ili-fame and had no less than
three poor unfortunate creatures con-
tributing to his support. The city at
length became too warm for him, where
upon he took up his abode at the Bay
City, where the field for his peculiar av-
ocation was more extended and invit-

went to San Francisco, and, As rumor
has It, she met this we'll dressed and
lascivious creature. who ingratiated him
self into her good graces, finally accom-
plishing her ruin by placing her at his
mercy. Soon after she could be seen
parsding the streets near the Baldwin
