AN ACTRESS SUIT.
Outcome of the Disruption OF the Ger
man Theatrical Season.


Yesterday before Judge Slack and jury
there was tried the case OF Franziska Crosse
Becker against Becker, Hirsch & Kahn to
recover SS15.
The plaintiff claims that she was engaged
as an actress by the defendants at a salary
of 500 month from August /. 1891. until
December IA of that year She received no
salary, and only half her fare from Europe.
amounting TO $50. was paid, wherefore she
asks for judgment for the amount named.
In their answer the defendants state that
the plaintiff was represented to be the wife
OF Becker, one of the defendants, and that
she was to form an attraction in theatrical
business 10 San Francisco. The business
was to be run by a partnership, and in con-
sderation of Becker being made stage
manager his wife's services were, it was
claimed, to be gratuitOus. The defendants
say that this arrangement was carried out,
and that they do not owe plaintiff the sal
airy or expenses claimed. The plaintiff de-
clared yesterday that she was not Becker's
wife and that she was not under any such
arrangement as that claimed.
The suit is sequel of the failure Of the
German theatrical season two years ago in
this city. Hirsch d Kahn are oculists doing
business on Kearny street.

John Cornell. young plasterer living at
IS Washington avenue, visited the office of
the Prosecuting Attorney Of Police Court
/ yesterday morning to secure a warrant
for the arrest Of Special Policeman Delmer
of Morosco's Theater on a charge of bat
terry. ConnelPs head was bandaged, and he
declared that he had three wounds on his
head, the result Of beating by the special
last Sunday night. He said that he was
smoking in the lobby of the theater when
Dolmer ordered him out. When be re-
fused to go the special beat him on the head
with club and threw him into the street.
While Connel was relating these facts TO
Warrant Clerk Graham, Special Delmer
rushed in and arrested him on charge Of
battery. Delmer asserts that ConDell and
six Others were creating a disturbance iD
the theater when he ordered them out. As
they refused TO 20 he attempted to eject
them, and during the scrimmage he acct
dentaIly hit COnnell with bis club. Delmer
declares that he had hard fight in ejectiDg
