THE cRuMB CASE.

THE CBUMb CAbEs
"Mamma don't cry,'' sobbed the
pretty girl baby yesterday afternoon
when Mrs. Mamie CalAer broke into
tears when Patrolman Hinckle was Civ
ing some damaging testimony in the
case OF Mrs. Calvert, charged with
adultery with William Crumb, be-
fore Justice Owen. Hinckle testified
to breaking into room at the lodging
house at the corner of Third and Main
streets, with Mrs. Crumb, the wife of
William Crumb, and several other par
ties. The testimony Of the witness was
very damaging to the fair defendant and
the cross-examination OF the attorneys
only served to bring out more details in
regard to the lack OF dress worn by Mrs.
Calvert and Crumh on the eventful
night.
Mrs. William Crumb told the court
how she had caught her husband in a
compromising place with Mrs. Calvert
at thc lodging house on Third and Main
streets.
Mrs. Morgan testified that Crumb
rented room from her at the lodging
house, corner Of Seventh and Spring
streets, and that she had seen Crumb
and Mrs. Calvert in a compromising sit
uation together on one occasion.
The testimony was very similar to
that adduced at the examination of
Crumb.
Judge Owen held Mrs.. Calvert to an
swer before the superior court, with bail
fixed at $1,000.
Isaac Calvert, who was married to his
wife at Santa Monica several years since,
says that he will take possession of the
children. A sister of Mrs. Calvert has
been caring for the young ones, and she
will hardly give them up without
struggle. Mrs. Calvert appears to be
infatuated with Crumb, and conversed
with him quite earnestly on the road to
the Jail.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Owen held
Crumb to answer, with bail fixed at
$4,000. There was quite scene in court
between Deputy District Attorney Blades
and Attorney Appel, and personal en-
counter seemed imminent at one time,
but Mr.. Blades contented himself by
calling Appel a shyster, and the latter
retaliated by calling Blades "Baby."
In the report of the above trial in
yesterdays paper it was stated that
majority of the witnesses resided at the
lodging house on the corner of Seventh
and Spring streets. The inference
might be drawn that Deputy County
Recorder Parker had resided at that
lodging house. Mr.. Parker was simnly
called as a witness to testify to the rec
ords.

Among the documents filed with the
county clerk yesterday were the prelim-

The preliminary examination of the
case against ]. S. Taylor, who is charged
with having committed the crime OF per-
jury during the trial of the sensational
case of Marshall VS.. Taylor, came up for
hearing yesterday before Justice Stan
ton, in the township court. After
good deal of quibbling between the op-
posing counsel, the court reporter, who
took down Taylor's testimony inthe
superior court, was called upon to read
his notes, and this occupied the atten-
tion of the court all afternoon. The case
will be resumed this morning.
