TWO Cranka.

The same hallucination was affecting
two different lunatics who were brought
to the County Jail yesterday, although
they probably had never seen one an
other. Each was laboring under the
conviction that the Free Masons were
thirsting for their blood. The woman,
whose name is Mrs. M. E. Filley, comes
from Ramona. She is said to be suffer-
ing from an incurable disease. Yester-
day afternoon she was taken before
Judge Clark and was found to be insane.
She will be taken north to-day. John
Trenbeck came into Los Angeles about
week ago from Lake county. He says
he is originally from Michigan, but was
exiled by the Free Masons. He will be
taken before the Commission to-day.

CHARGED WITH RAPE.
Nora Barr Tells Her story, and
j. G.. Hall is Arrested.

Nora Barr Tells Her Story, and
j. G. Hall is Arrested.
A complaint was sworn out yesterday
and warrant issued for the arrest of
Jacob G. Hall, colored, hackman, who
is charged by Nora Barr with the crime
of rape. Nora is young mulatto girl,
who until recently was living with her
parents on San Fernando street. A
short time ago she began working out as
a domestic. Hall was an old acquaint.
ance, and he professed to entertain pro-
found respect and affection for her. She
says that he offered at various times to
marry her, and for that reason she put
unlimited confidence in him. The girl
is subject to spasms of an epileptic sort,
though not as violent as are usually at
tendant on the disease. On the 4th day
of last November one of these fits came
on her in the evening at the house where
she was working while the man
Hall was in her company. She was
carried out on the veranda of
the house while in an insensible
condition, that the air might revive her.
to her own account of the affair, she was
tlOLlb Ou LIlc fOIduOd Will llhll, anu ohC
had been criminally assaulted by him.
She accused him, and he made no denial.
He reasserted his intention of marrying
her, and she forgave him. Several
months passed, and although she fire.
quently reminded him of his promise, he
put off the ceremony on one reason and
another. At last she made up her mind
that she had been deceived. About the
same time she discovered that she was
enceinte and soon was unable to conceal
the fact from her parents.
Finally the whole affair was confessed
and the father, accompanied by the girl,
related the circumstances to the author
tiles and complaint charging Hall with
rape was issued.
Hall was arrested, late yesterday after
noon, by Constable Clement and lodged
in the County Jail. He declares that he
is innocent of the charge, and that the
light character of the girl will be easily
proven.

his room and told him all about 1t, but
he did not believe her excuses. Later IN
the year she thought she was in dell
cate state OF health, and Brown promised
to marry her if doctor said this was 80.
She went to doctor on December D, Dut
he couldn't decide as to her condition
until several weeks had passed, ana
Brown said he didn't believe that any
thing was the matter with her. Her
aunt advised him to marry her and then
get divorce after the child was born.
On cross-examination she said she
went to gee the doctor on December D,
and not for the purpose of ascertainiDg
whether Isaacs was the cause OF the
trouble. She thought some one else was
responsible. She denied having pro-
posed to live with Mr.. Dawes if he would
give her $50 to send her aunt back to st.
Louis, She also denied having told
Theresa Jackson that she was wire
walker in st. Louis and that the man
who put up the wire for her was the first
one to lead her astray. She also denied
that she had asked Theresa to take her
to house OF i'll fame so she would make
money and dress as we'll as the other
girls. She testified that she was in the
fee shot at his wife on September 10.
This was the first time she had ever seen
Brown.
Mr.. Gage offered to prove by the re-
cords that September 10th was the date
and pending an investigation, recess
was taken until o'clock.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
During the redirect examination Eva
testified that it was to see whether
Brown was the cause Of her condition
that she went to see the doctor.
Upon further cross-examination she
testified that she had been chaste before
the episode in the room with Isaacs, but
after that she had been intimate with
Brown.
Mrs. Burkhart, the aunt, knew moth
ing about the facts of the case except
that Brown had promised to marry Eva
if she were really in trouble. If the doc
tor said che was he would make it all
right. She had gone with Eva to the
doctor, who could not tell whether any,
thing was the matter, but who gave her
some medicine to straighten matters out
without any serious effect.
The next witness, w. H. Greer, testified
that his opinion was that Eva was not
virtuous. He knew this by her manner
in talking to him. She had told him
that a man in st. Louis had ruined her.
This closed the case for the prosecu-
ton, and Mr.. Gage moved that the case
be dismissed on the ground that no evil
dence had been introduced to show that
Brown had taken any part in inducing
Eva to go to the room in the Crystal
Palace. Justice Austin granted the mo-
ton, and the parties to the case, which
has attracted considerable attention,
left the court

the Complaint.
Justice Austin's courtroom was
crowded yesterday morning when the
case OF David Brown, charged with hav-
ing enticed Eva Bieber into the Crystal
Palace Lodging House for the purpose OF
having her led astray by Arthur Isaacs,
came up for examination. The presence
of these spectators was not desired in
the courtroom and they were excluded
before any of the testimony was taken.
Mr.. Page, the attorney for the defend
ant, had filed demurrer to the COM
plant but it was overruled, and the
prosecution called to the witness stand
Miss Eva Bieber, the 17-year-old girl at
whose instance the case had been
brought. She is quite attractive in ap-
pearance and at the opening of her tes-
timony was very timid, but grew bolder
as the examination advanced, until she
could talk very plainly of what she al
legged had occurred. She had no recol-
lection of dates, and at first said she had
been here only six months, and had
known Brown eight months in the city.
Then she corrected herself by saying
that she did not know exactly how long
she had been here, but she
had become acquainted with Brown
at the Dime Museum where she
had been engaged to represent the civ
ing half lady" Brown was playing the
piano at the Museum at this time, which
was in August. She then started into a
detailed account of a conversation with
Isaacs, who asked her to go to his room
in the Crystal Palace, where he wanted
to show her the "fire act" This line OF
testimony was ruled out, since the de-
fendant was not present at the time. She
then told why she knew that Brown had
anv connection with Isaac's actions. 1t
was because he had told her aunt, Mrs.
Burkhart, that he had told IsaaGs to do
this thing. At that time she did not
know what "fire act" was. She told
how she went with Isaacs about halt-past
eight O'Clock one evening to his room at
the Crystal Palace, where he showed her
the "fire act" which was done with cleo
tricity, SO that she could go travelling
with him and take part in the perform
ance. After he had showed her this act,
he made proposal to her which she con-
sidered as an insult and refused. He
then locked the door, and she tried to get
out, but could not. Then she said she
would "holler," but he said he didn't
care. She saw revolver in his pocket
and was Scared" and made
no further resistance. After she
got out of the room where
she remained, she knew not how long,
she went back to the museum and found
Brown playing at the piano. He said he
knew where she had been, but she de-
MED it. The next morning she went to

A movement is on foot to organize lodge of
this popular association in this city. A large
number of names have been secured on the
