JOHN FARRELL'S PENSION.
A Request to Have Him Brought From ia
to Get 1t Not Granted.

A Request to Have Him Brought From Jail
to Get 1t Not Granted.
In the Criminal Court. Judge Hagner this
morning District Attorney Cole called attention
to a request made by Gen. Raum, commissioner
of pensions, as to John Farrell. who is now in
Jail. charged with an assault with intent to kill
his wife. This communication states that Farrell
is a pensioner at the rate of S72 per month for
disability requiring the attendance Of another
person, and that payment had been suspended
In order that no hardship might be done he
asked an order Of the court TO permit him to be
taken under guard before the examining sur
geons at 907 New York avenue for examination
Mr.. Cole stated that he had replied to Gen.
Raum stating that he would bring the motion
to the attention of the court for such action as
might be deemed advisable. Farrell had not
been indicted and was in Jail, and he could see
no improperly Of sending him before the sur
geons.
Mr.. t. c. Taylor said he Represented Farrell
and was not aware that the payment Of pension
had been suspended. He had requested that
Farrell be brought from Jail today to draw his
pension with the intention of paving over n
portion of it to his family. He, however, had
no objection to him appearing before the sur
| geons.
Judge Hagner said he saw no necessity for
| any precipi;ate haste in this matter and that
| the defendant was entitled to 60 to trial with
out any side issues. He thought that it would
| not matter much to the government to paw the
man the pension. The granting Of such order
was always attended with some risk and they
had had at least one very notable case. He
| suggested that the matter 60 over and that
| Gen. Raum be conferred with.

They Were Not Responsible.

Today in the Police Court Messrs. Edward ].
Stellwagen and Thos. II. Gale, real estate
agents trading under the name of Thos. J.
Fisher 4 Co., were on trial, charged under the
health regulations with maintaining a nuisance
injurious to health, consisting of three foul,
offensive and unventilated pan closets and un-
trapped washstands and bath tubs. Premises
No. 1900 10Th street were the location Of the
nuisance charged.
Health Inspectors Heird and Shepherd were
prosecuting witnesses in the case. The facts
charged are that the fixtures are of an old pat
tern and not Of the latest improvements, as re-
quired by the plumbing regulations.
The court found from the testimony that the
defendants were not liable for the condition OF
the improvements in the house and, without
determining whether the facts caused viola
ton of law, dismissed the charge.

DORA AGAIN IN TROUBLE.
She IL Arrested for Obtaining Money Under
False Pretenses.


False Pretenses.
MY God, is her picture in the gallery?''
asked Mr.. ]. W. Bell the other night at police
headquarters, where he was shown picture of
Dora Strawbridge, ''and, he added, my wife
has been on the street with her"
Dora is again under arrest and is locked up
at the first precinct station under a charge of
false pretenses.
She is little woman about thirty years old
and her picture is in the gallery because OF her
former arrests. Her mode of living, il is
charged, is by collecting money on the strength
of statements in letters and under different
names. She generally poses as a widow of
some unfortunate man and once il was
charged that she claimed to he the widow of a
victim Of the Johnston flood
The woman is known under other names.
among them being Annie Cartwright and Villa
Evans.
One Of the letters which it is claimed she
used reads as follows:
Through advice of Gen. Scoield of the
army and Lieutenant Pendleton of the
navy / give the following statement: On
the 18th OF December. after a long illness. nv
husband died. leaving me with three little ones
and the bitter knowledge OF soon becoming a
mother again
My sister in Denver offers Us a home. am
trying to raise the necessary sum to take us
there The sum has been give me, but my lit
tie sons severe illness has compelled my using
the greater part of the same. He is now able

necessary. 1 hope you will kindly pardon my
calling you with M bitter sorrow. / will
be grateful if you aid me. lack SO of sum
necessary. Ii is SO hard to ask this aid. Please
pardon my doing Yours. respectfully,
Mrs VILLA EVANS.
The charge now against the woman is that
she obtained money under false prete1ses from
Mr.. Bell. Her case will probably be heard in
the Police Court tomorrow.

manner that has characterized his bearing
since the tragedy occurred.
