DEPRIVED OF HIS CHILD.
LITTLE GALA LILY GREENSLADE
GIVEN TO A STRANGER.
Mrs. Shinkwin Appointed Her Guardian
by Judge Smith-The Testimony Given
Yesterday in Court.

The application of Mrs. H. A. Watson
for the appointment of Mrs. Shinkwin
as the guardian of Gala Lily Greenslade
came up again before Judge Smith yes
terday, and was finally disposed OF by
the granting of the petition. The hear
ing developed much of interest, and was
listened to by quite crowd of spec
tators.
The father Of the child, Lewis Green
slade, alias Lewis the Light, who made
strong fight to retain possession of bis
daughter, when called to the stand
spent large part of the time explain
ing to the court the great mission he
was called on to fulfill by the Lord, and
the principles of his new cooperative
religion, which he nightly discusses on
the street corners.
Several witnesses were called by the
petitioner to show that Greenslade
would not work, but was supported by
the earnings of one of his boys, mere
lad.
Judge Cheney, who represented
Lewis, called Mrs. Hoffman, Green
slade's landladY, and developed the
fact that the family lived we'll, and
seemed to want for nothing. They had
two plainly, but neatly furnished rooms,
and lived peaceably and harmoniously
together, each of the boys and the
father taking turns at doing the house
work.
A humorous episode occurred at the
termination of the hearing, when Judge
Cheney took the floor on a question of
personal privilege. He said that at the
room recess, when he was leaving the
courtroom, a female, apparently in
sympathy with Mrs. Watson's cause,
approached him with fire in her eyes,
and said: "Judge Cheney; you ought
to be hung"
The eminent jurist didn't think he
ought to be hanged, for he was doing
the best he knew how in behalf OF a
man whom he believed was being per-
secuted because of his religious beliefs
and vagaries.
Judge Smith treated the audience to
a little homily on the privileges of at
torneys, the great mysteries which
Lewis claimed to interpret, the APP
preaching or present millennium, ETC.,
and, Notwithstanding the good case
shown by Greenslade, ordered little
Gala Lily turned over to Mrs. Shink-
win. The girl is but seven years Of age,
and extremely precocious.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-10-31

The trial ofthe damage suit of Jeanne
Elisetche against Miguel Samouset, an
action to recover $4,000 damages for
seduction under promise of marriage.
commenced yesterday morning before
Judge Mckinley and jury ia the su-
perior court. The alleged seduction oc-
Cured in the latter part of 1889, and
has been the subject of a criminal act
ion against the defendant. Both parties
are Basques and the plaintiff is we'll
appearing intelligent woman of perhaps
thirty years of age. She was the only
woman in the court room yesterday, and
takes an absorbing interest in the case
as it proceeds.
The contention of the defense is that
Samouset has. ever been willing to
marry the plaintiff, and would do so
even now. 1t is admitted that the de-
fendant has postponed the wedding sew
eral times, but the claim is made that
he did so on the advise of physician,
as he has been very sick man, and
matrimony was not advisable.
According to the testimony, the par
ties became engaged in April; 1889. It
was not long after this time when they
became intimate. On October 20th of
the same year an agreement to marry
was entered into, and their former rela-
tions continued uninterrupted. Soon
afterward Samouset went to France for
the benefit OF his health. While away he
wrote the most affectionate letters to
the girl, in which he begged her to write
often and keep up her courage; that he
would return and marry her.
During Samonset's absense, however,
Miss Elisetche began the present suit
against him, which has been pending
ever since. She claims that while he
protested love for her he was at the
same time carrying on illicit relations
with another woman-a servant-for
which reason she refuses to have
anything more to do with him. She
testifies that Samonset is worth $4,000
in money and $49, 900 in livestock.
The trial took up the entire day and
is not yet completed.
