LOOTED BY A RELATIVE.
A Br0ther-in-Law Accused of
Grave Offenses.

Mrs. Bessie Berinsky, who keeps small
store at 155 Seventh street, was in the old
City Hall yesterday angry and excited over
her manifold grievances, which represented
base ingratitude. She is not an excitable
woman, bnt when her story was told to the
Prosecuting Attorney it was interrupted by
sobs and by indignant EXPLANATIONS. Her
earnest manner impressed the attorney with
the truth of her tale of woe, and she was
given three warrants for the arrest of her
deceiyerS.
The first complaints Sworn out by her
were for the arrest of Molle Joseph, girl
OF 16 years OF age, and lda Wildly, girl of
II years. She charges them with stealing
two coats, valued at $50, from her store.
They had her confidence and were trusted,
but, II seems, abused the trust. The other
complaint was against her brother-in-law,
1gnatz Hoenigsberger. whom she accuses of
grand larceny and also burglary.
Some time ago Mrs. Berinsky had store
at 1912 Howard street, where she did a busi-
ness in crockery and miscellaneous articles
of the household. But the whole stock was
cleared out, she claims, by her brother-in- law.
Her husband was in the Northwest on bust
ness, and she in the country for short va
cation. The store was, therefore. closed
temporarily, and in their absence Hoenigs-
berger broke into it and sold its entire con-
tents for $500.
When Mrs. Berinsky returned she found
the store empty and the broken door patched
up. Every thing it had contained when she
closed its door was gone. Nothing but bare
walls and pile of rubbish were left. After
long time she discovered, as she claims,
that her broiher-in-law was responsible for
looting the place. He had disappeared COM
pletely from San Francisco, none of her
friends knew whittier.
Quite recently he was discovered in Ia
coma, where he has little secondhand
store, started, it is said on the money
received from the sale of Mrs. Berinsky's
stock She is anxious to have him arrested
and brought to justice. The warrant will be
served and Hoenigsberger brought back for
