MUST STAND TRIAL
Gordon's Indictment Will Not be Set
Aside-Hfs Plea.


Henry Gordon, one of the accomplices
IN the murder of Robert Allen, was be-
fore Judge Van Fleet again yesterday.
He was called into court to hear the
Judges decision in the matter of the mo-
ton to set aside the Grand Jury's indict-
ment. Gordon was not expecting the de-
cision and kicked up a row with his jail
ors because they took him to court with
out giving him an opportunity to ''fix up
and look pretty"
The court denied the motion, holding
that the facts shown were not sufficient to
warrant the court in finding that Gordon's
constitutional rights had been interfered
with as was insisted upon by Gordon's
counsel. The motion was denied and
twenty days allowed in which to file a
bill of exceptions.
1t was maintained by Gordon's counsel
that Gordon was induced to give testi-
mony eliminating himself under mis-
Leading representations and that the in
dictment was illegal, for the reason that
persons other than the members of the
Grand Jury were present when the
charges against him were being investi-
gated and that the indictment was in
formal.
Gordon was ordered to stand up when
the court had concluded aud he was for
mally arraigned. He pleaded not guilty
to the charge of murder preferred against
him.

BBRTHA'O STORY.
She Declares that Ethel EASTWOOD Was
Given to Her.
The Child Alleged to be the Daughter
of Wealthy Woman and Her
MuIatto Coachman.

Bertha Franklin, alias Bluitt, the col
ored woman, who was arrested in this
city for stealing little fve-year old Ethel
EASTWOOD, was taken to San Francisco
by Officer Anthony. She is charged
with child stealing. The complainant is
Elsie EASTWOOD, the child's aunt. The
little one has been returned to her aunt.
To reporter the woman made sub
stantially the following statement:
About eight months ago [ returned
from the country to this city, and went
to the house and saloon of a Mrs. Robin
son or Robertson, on Stevenson street,
near the Palace Hotel. About l O'Clock
in the morning small, dark-eyed, dark
complexioned woman, accompanied by
this little girl, entered the place and
played for us on a guitar. After awhile
she got very drunk, and told her to take
the girl home, as that crowd was not
fit for a young child to be in. l have had
several children of my own, although /
was never married, and l dearly love
little folks. Ethel was very dirty and
poorly clothed, and l felt sorry for her.
The woman, VINO was addressed by
the name of Esther or some such name,
said that the little one was not her
daughter, and that she did not care for
the brat. Esther told me the history of
the baby. She said her mother was a
white woman, and the wife of a wealthy
man in Baltimore or Boston. The chiId's
father was the mulatto coachman. Es-
ther said to me that after Ethe;s
birth the mother gave the baby to her
and told her to take it away where she
would never see it again to remind her of
her folly.
Esther says she hated the little thing
because she was i'll her way and she
begged me to take her away. / went
with Esther to her rooms, farther up
Stevenson street, and was introduced to
an old man, who claimed to be Esther's
uncle. He said that Esther had told me
the truth about Ethel's birth, and said he
hoped that | would take care of the baby
and raise her as my own. l then took
her, and since then / have taken the best
of care Of the baby, for l love her as
though she were my own"
Bertha said that shortly after leaving
San Francisco she went to San Rafael,
| where she worked two months as house-
keeper for a German shoemaker. Six
months ago she went to Sacramento, and
1t was not until her money was exhausted
that she resumed life of shame She
stated that all the time she was in the
house OF ill-fame she kept her adopted
child in respectable family.
This latter statement is not correct. for
Officers Gibson and Maley first arrested
her here because she had the child in an
L-street crib, and not for child-stealing.
