PASADENA, Nov. 1.-THE case of Mrs.
Mckay vs. her husband, Geo. A. Nc
Kay, in which she charges him with q
nameless crime, which has been men
toned before, came up before Justice
Gardner this afternoon, and was held
with closed doors. Mr.. A. r. Metcslf
acted as attorney for the defendant,
while w. P. Hyatt represented the
prosecution. The principal witness was
Mrs. Mckay, the person who makes
these serious charges. The testimony,
which went into details as to the man.
ner the crime is said to have been COM
mitted, was not of nature that would
bear publication, but the story told was
most damaging. Several witnesses were
present from Los Angeles who were
living in the house at the time the alleged
crime was committed. Their testimony
went to show that no unusual sound or
outcry was heard from the Mckay apart
ments.
A number OF other witnesses were ex-
amined on both sides. The case is one
of those unfortunate domestic troubles,
in which both sides fail to appear in a
very favorable light. Justice Gardner
bound the defendant over in $1,000 bail
to the superior court.
That perversity of some small boys is
fast finding out is exemplified in case
which has turned up here. Several
weeks ago Mrs. Ward, who lives on
Peach Place, had valuable ladies'
watch taken from her house during a
short absence. The case was reported
to Marshal Buchanan and he at once
set about to capture the offenders.
From the moment the watch was taken
it was suspected that some boy was the
thief, and finally 9.year-old lad named
Eddie Nichols was arrested and taken to
the police station, where he confessed
taking the watch, and said he had
pounded it to pieces. Upon searching,
the two covers, part of the works and
the charm were found; the rest was
lost; what is left is of no value except
for old metal. 1t has not been decided
what to do with the boy.
