BROWNS BADLY BATTERED BABE
The Neighbors Say Its Condition Was
Really PitifuI.
Brown Admits the Allegation, and
Gives IA Childish EXcuse-Sen-
fenced to Fifty Days.

If Justice Newton of Washington had
held court in the largest room in Wash
ington yesterday, when Charles Brown
was tried for brutally beating his five
months'-old infant, it would have been
crowded by indignant men and women
of that burg.
Several neighbors of the Browns testi-
fed to substantially the same facts as
were given in the REcoRD-UNIoN on
Wednesday. They told how Brown had
repeatedly whipped the little infant with
a strap until its flesh became black and
blue, and also how he had slapped its
face. causing its lips to swell.
One lady testified that the baby's mouth
''was all mashed in." She also yolun-
teered the statement that Brown wasn't
tit to raise a cat.
Justice Newton expressed surprise that
his order to have the child brought into
court had not been obeyed, but Mrs.
Brown said she had so much to do that
she couldn't bring the child, which was
with her mother on the Sacramento side
OF the river.
Brown made a statement to the court,
in which he admitted that he had been
real mean" to the baby, and slapped it
with his hand and also with a leather
belt. The only explanation he could give
of his conduct was that he was sick and
nervous and the baby cried.
Mrs. Brown said to the court that she
had no means of support except her hus-
bands wages, and begged that he be not
severely sentenced.
In sentencing the unnatural father, JUS
tIce Newton used some very fOrcible Ian
guage. The most brutal beast of the
field will protect its young" said he,
''and will fight for its young. You had a
kind father and mother, and they would
nave died in protecting you until you
had reached an age at which you were
able to protect yourself. This is the most
brutal case that has ever come before me.
If | had my way, 1 would tie you to a
whipping-post and sentence you to re-
ceive the lash. Your wife ought to take
a club TO you, and beat some affection
into you. A child ought to be under the
protection of its father. [ never saw a
father like you. You are unworthy to be
called father"
He then sentenced Brown to pay fine
of $50, or to serve fifty days in the County
Jail, and assured him that if he ever got
into his court again on a similar charge
he would give him the full extent of the
law

Dire ctory Meeting Regulations Adj
ylSed-Annual Meeting.
The Directors of the Humane Society
met last night at the Office of the Secre-
tary, W. d. Lawton, President Irvine
presiding. 1t was resolved to call the at
tention of all badge officers to the regula-
ton requiring them to report all instances
in which they act by interference, or sug-
gestion, or arrest to the Secretary. that
record may be made of everything done
in the name OF the society.
The board also decided that no officer
ever has had any authority to contract
debt in the name of the society. When
officers find it necessary to remove ami
mails TO public stables the stablekeeper
receives them on the personal response
bility Of the officer, or he cares for them
under lien he lawfully has upon animals
lodged in his stable. The exception is
when the society, through its Secretary
or President, authorizes charges made to
it.
The board appointed a committee to
arrange for the annual meeting January
S, 1894 when a new Board OF Directors
will be elected and the work of the society
for the year reviewed. 1t resolved also
that the President and Secretary shall
send to each badge officer of the society a
memorandum of his duties, rights under
the law. and his obligations to the society
The idea is TO inaugurate stricter discp-
line, and thus further the good work.
The action Of the board was not taken be-
cause of any distrust of or dissatisfaction
with any of the officers, but for their pro-
lection and encouragement, and better
systematic the work OF the organization.
Daniel Flint was elected a member of
the society. The Secretary reported that
ha actf
many interterences by members aud
officers, many corrections by suggestion,
several arrests, one conviction that was
followed by imprisonment, and one by
payment of fine. But he had no COM
plete record of the interferences and cor
rections, and urged that membe and
officers file memoranda of all cases in
which they had acted by interference or
suggestion, that he may have full records

ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE.
Weary of Life, Prevented From Com
mittinG suicide


mittinS suicide.
A woman belonging to the class of un-
fortunates given to dissipation and loose
ness of morals went TO the river yester-
day forenoon for the purpose OF commit
ting suicide.
The spot selected for the deed was in
the vicinity of the Clunie warehouse. and
the employees Of that place suspected from
her actions that she contemplated plung-
ing into the river. Accordingly one OF
them caught her just in time to prevent
her from carrying out her purpose.
She admitted that her presence there
was to drown herself and declared that.
although prevented from doing so at that
time. she would yet end her life by her
own hand.
The woman is apparently about 81
years OF age, and has evidently been d
person of more than common attractions
and accomplishments. Being a good
pianist, she WAS lately employed in that
capacity III a dive, but now even that
undesirable means OF earning a liveli-
hood was denied her, and her charms OF
person having long since faded she felt
that she had no recourse but death.

Why have none now, child, you shall know.

After the vote was taken, after the change had
come,
After the factories closing after the wheels were
dumb!
Many heart was aching, If you could read them
all,
Many home was darkened-after last fall
Bright we're our prospects, clouds not In sight,
Happy our homes were from morn till night,
Then came the tempter, spoke soft and low.
Fooled us poor workers-how, don't know,
When we awakened to what we have done
Factories were Idle, mills could not run,
Down they all closed, pet, ended-that's all,
Just as our work was, after last fall.
Long months have passed, child, no work to do.
Although I've sought 1t for mother and you.
No work to give me- tried to explain
They could not help it-pleadings are vain,
knew the reason, after 1t was done;
helped to close up factories that run,
That's why Pm idle-no work at all
lost my job, pet, after last fall.
