JUDGE sATTERwHITE AND col. GERvAIs
Intense interest was displayed while
the council declared for and against
change of Illumination of the city. Iht
interest was in forty discussions il
/ whispers about the room On the charge
that Policeman Roche had instituted
against his superior officer.
The charge was read. 1t sac
| that Lucas E7trella had been at darkes
mlduights hour where his brother in
law judged to be bad place for HIM
this lent the language the complain
usad-aDd that his conduct there war
| ranted invest gat'on 10y the committee
In this the welfare-loving concurred-
evidenced by attendance.
Jud < e Satterwhite was at the inVeS Ii
CATION, aud so was Mr.. Gerva 5, the last
| named gentleman for the accused.
THE BATTLE Is ON.
Judge 0atterwhite explained to the
c0mpletest satisfaction of the commit
tee that he had gwen the case no study
and explained Why. He then informed
himself on some very important points,
ana c'led on Policeman Roche, who
t0Ok "a h and seated him elf.
In ca.uI anu measured tones he told
of where be had seen E-trella on the
night of the I4tb, and how he had come
to zee Kim and what the brotber-in- Law
of Estrelia's had said about Estrell8's
deshabille.
Col. Gervais insinuated that Mr.
Roche had some dark motive in showing
forth TO the admlring public what It's
chief protector had done, but Judge
Saiterwhite, as city attorney, expounded
that the rules OF evidence could no
bind that police committee and that
Policeman Roche might or might not be
the guardian of married men of the city,
including the honorable police commit
tee themselves--and that If Col. Gervais
wanted to know Greenieaf, be, Judge
Sattsrwhite. would teach him.
The brcther-in law, Francisco Mungia,
was the next witness. His testimony
was another shock to the good Tucson
ties. He said that he had told Roche
that Estrella was in light and AIRY cos
tune where he bad been, but that he
had said so because Roche bothered
HIN wit ] so MANY questions
"Ihen you told Roche that Estrella
WAS undressed even though h wasn't?"
Questioned Councilman Schumacher.
"Yes."
And you call yourself a MANI" came
reXt.
"Yes."
"Mr. Marshal" said the councilman,

mittee need air"
EsTRELLA ON THE MARsHAL's ACTIONS.
1t was all in the way of duty. the
marshal explained. He had been told by
d saloon man that the madame of the
house in question wanted to see him.
He explained that he did not dare to go
alcne, as his actions were watched and
reported TO the council. Would not Mr..
Cabaliero go down with him, after clos
Ing his saloon.
Certainly"
That explained the late hour.
Then the woman WAS particular. She
wanted the gentlemen to go In the back
room. They obliged her.
That explained the back room.
Then, in about five minutes, they
heard knocking at the front door, and
In about five minutes again another
knocking. What the woman hao said
at the door, be didn't know. Then the
woman said she could not talk with him
without someone bothering every few
minutes, so she would turn the light
down 10 the front room.
That explained the darkness of the
place.
Enter the brother-in law, via the back
door, violent and wrathful. Il thoughl
| told you never to speak to Estrella
| again, quUth he, striking the woman
once or twice over the head. Then he
! struck her again, when his brother-in-
| law interfered and asked him to desist
Excuse me, Mr.. Marshal" said Mr.
Schumacher, "but do you mean to say
that man beat that woman over the
| head aud you didn't arrest hjm?"
