DRUNK AT THIRTEEN.
A Shocking Case of Boyish Depray-
ity Before Judge Wanser.

The arraignment this morning of a
thirteen-year-old boy before Justice Wan
ser, charged with drunkenness and disor-
derly conduct on West Newark avenue
last night revealed state of affairs ex-
isting in that nelghborhood which appeals
to all.
The boy arraigned was Michael Nc
Quinn. who resides with his parents at
No. IA Germania avenue. The parents
formerly resided in the neighDorhood
called "Shinney Park" and were in
the habit of drinking and quarrel
ing. Since moving to Germania avenue
they as well as other poor families have
felt the influence of the reverend pastor
of st. Johns X. G.. Church, and have re-
formed their habits and now live sober
life.
Yesterday after dinner ''Mikey, dressed
clean, went out with his playmates. di-
rected by his mother to go to Sunday
school. He went. but afterwards, in conf
pany with other boys, who had secured
can, they rushed the growler." The
beer was secured at the saloon of Mrs.
Mary Conboy. No. e33 Newark avenue.
About eight O'Clock Mikey was raising
such racket on West Newark avenue in
his drunken condition that Policeman
Mcclure arrested him. This morning
Justice Wanser sent him up for ten days.
called at the boys residence today.
bun his father was at work and his mother
had gone to New York. The neighbors
said the parents were good people and did
not now drink. The boy, they said. was
kind of wild, but attended St. Johns
parochial school.
/ called at Conboy's saloon and asked to
see Mrs. Conboy. A bright little fellow
from behind the bar informed me she
was upstairs sick. An older brother said
that Mikey MeGuinn did not get liquor il
the saloon. Two other men said likewise.
The husband of Mrs. Conboy also said no
beer was procured there by the boy, and
that they never sold liquor to boys.
The place is a mlserably hovel. A frame
structure. The store on line with the
street and one floor alone. The front
part of the lower floor is the saloon and
back of this is the kitchen where the
family live aud cook.
Before committing the boy Justice
Wanser had him sign complaint against
Mrs. Conboy for selling liquor to min or.
Sic will be arraigned tomorrow.

A TYPICAL JERSEY BOY.
His Fight With a German Who Thought
BE was Bismarck.

An amusing case this morning before
Justice Stilsing was that Of II. Schroeder,
twenty-five years of age, of No. 15S
WAYNE street, and f. Fuller, eighteen
years of age, of No. 504 Pavonla avenue.
Schroeder is German fellow, uncon-
sciously humorous. and Fulleris typical
Jersey City boy, honest, truthful, and full
OF life. Standing side by side Fuller is
about three inches higher than Schroe-
der.
Schroeder acknowled ged that last night
he had a 'sleetle too much beer" He was
wal king along Newark avenue. and when
he saw Fuller he asked him for light.
Instead of giving him a light schroeder
said Fuller hit him.
Fuller's story was told in q happy
straightforward manner, and as he stood
alongside his German friend in the pen,
and watched his frightened countenance
he would burst oct laughing, convulsing
the Judge and audience, and even the
little German himself.
Fuller said he was walking along New
ark avenue last night after supper to-
wards the ferry, when Schroeder came
along and asked MIN for light. He told
him he had none, but Schroeder insisted
ne had. and said he was Bismarck, and
he should have one Fuller again
told hlm he had none, and Schroeder then
went for him.

Thought so. for he discharged Fuller and

CHOPPED OFF HIS HEAD.
THAT is WHAT LORD BACON DID
TO WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE.

Or at Any Rate DR.. Owen Finds Record
of Such Tragedy in the Cipher Part
of the Bard of Avon's Plays-A Sensa-
tion in Literature.
DR.. o. W. Owen, of Detroit, is about to
startle the literary world by publishing a
cipher which proves to him that not only
was Shakespeare babbling actor who
could not write line, but that he was an
ignorant tool in the hands of Bacon, who
was compelled finally to murder him, cut off
his head and bury it by itself at certain
crossroads, because William tried to ex-
tort money from him upon a threat that
he would expose the authorship of the
plays to the queen.
This shattering of the shrine at which
Shakespearian students have worshiped
for two centuries may be considered a sort
of literary earthquake For four years,
day and night, DR.. Owen has been study
ing the Bacon cipher. He secured every
scrap of Baconian literature procurable,
until his library resembles the side of a
second hand book store. There are valua-
BILE old documents from London, transla-
tions and originals of Bacon's five great
works, and editions after editions of the
twenty-six plays and stories attributed to
his poor stool pigeon" as the doctor
styles the great English dramatist.
Hour after hour has Owen pored over
these pages, first getting a clew that there
was cipher, and then content to do moth
ing save delve and dig, bound as he says,
that Bacon should not beat him and for
Los Angeles herald., 1891-06-15
DIR. O. W, OWEN.

ever keep his puzzling cipher unsolved' "
The cipher will not be like Donnelly's, so
complicated and intricate that no one save
a skilled mathematician may understand.
There will, in fact, be much amazement,
according to the discoverer, that it has not
been solved sooner, so plain and simple
is it.
In his library he has the Bacon-Shake-
speare pages pasted upon an immense
sheet of muslin, which winds and unwinds
like a panorama, and along this big roll he
searches for his words and reads between
the lines. The discovery represents four
years constant, Industrious, ceaseless
study. The cipher has told DR.. Owen ex-
actly where Shakespeare's severed head
may be found, and as soon as he gets his
work ready for publication he will go to
England and dig for it. He is so confident
of the absolute correctness of his conclu-
slons that he will rest their success upon
this test
DR.. Owen claims to have found twenty
seven complete narratives in the plays, one
being Bacon's defense against the charges
of taking bribes while lord chancellor.
According to this cipher story Lady Bacon
was unfaithful to her marriage VOWS, and
one of her lovers took the bribes with her
connivance and cast suspicion upon Bacon,
who declined to defend himself because his
explanation would involve the revelation
of his wife's dishonor. The history Of
Christ, told in majestic verse, forms an
other of the secret narratives, and a COM
plete history of the Spanish Armada runs
through Loves Labor's Lost" "King
john" Comedy of Errors" "Othello,"
1.-THE Tempest and "The Merchant of
Venice"
Elizabeth, the virgin queen of England,
has her reputation sadly tarnished, for
the cipher discloses that she was the
mother of two children. But the most
thrilling narrative is that relating to the
murder and decapitation of poor Shake
speare. The player was insolent in his de-
mands, and in the heat of passion Bacon
drew his sword and killed him. Before
the blood was washed from his hands a
gentleman appeared and asked what he
had done. "Killed dog" was Bacon's
reply.
Various secrets of the court of Elizabeth
are revealed by this wonderful cipher, in
Guiding the true inwardness of the trial
and execution of Mary Queen of Scots. A
history of old York rite Masonry, the story
of the Prodigal Son, and the miracles of
the New Testament are also unfolded in
ueoPiy inooI oSolnB ihheuaeso. IL ono p<Aho
Bacon seeks to eXtort fearful oath from
the discoverer of the cipher not to reveal
it while he is living and 80 save him from
an ignominious death
DR.. Owen is yet comparatively young
man, and he has every Indication of being
student. His features are pointed, sharp,
hewn, and his restless gray eye never winks
twice in the same spot. He was born at
Marine City, Mich, Jan. 1, 1854. He re-
ceived his education in the Michigan uni
yersity at Ann Arbor, and studied medi-
cine at Detroit He has wide practice
and fashionable one, which has enabled
him to buy all the books he needed to work
out his pet idea. He lives in quiet elegance
and has an interesting family. His cipher
will be made public just as soon as he can
get it ready for the press.
