LITTLE EFFIE POOEY.
The ChiId's Story of Her Wrongs at
Graham's Hands.
How She Was Subjected to Gross In.
dignities and Punished With
out Cause.

The hearing of the case of 'Dr." Ora
ham and wife for abducting little Ef1ie
Posey was continued in Justice HenrY's
court yesterday afternoon.
Fife was subjected to a severe cross
examination by General A. L. Hart. She
retold, however, how the villain Graham
effected her ruin, and at times was very
curt in her replies to the attorney.
The girl said she was a little over y
years of age. She lived with her uncle,
near Stockton. while her father was sick.
Her father told her he was going to die
and would provide home for her, and
shortly afterward she went to live with
Graham and his wife. Graham, about a
week afterward, drove her from Stockton
to Sacramento in cart, and was very at
fectionate to her on the way to this city.
II put his arms around her. kissed her
and said he loved her as daughter, and
he wanted her 10 love him as a father.
The Grahams removed to San Fran
cisco and took Effie along with them.
Subsequently Mrs. Graham went to Port
land by boat, and the alleged doctor went
by train, taking Eftie with him. They
went to several different towns in Oregon,
and the story told by the girl of what
| followed was indeed pltlful one, but not
lit for publication.
In speaking OF Graham Effie would not
call him doctor" nor even Mr." Cen
eral Hart insisted that she was acting
very spiteful and disrespectIul, when
she replied: How could 1 treat him
! otherwise, when he disgraced and treated
me SO cruelly?''
Afterward she.told how Graham threat
ened her life if she told of the indignities
| to which he had subjected her. lie
growled if she ate very much, and many
times he whipped her without provoca.
| ton.
In telling her story the girl broke
! down and cried. and it was necessary tC
/ take few minutes a recess.
During the examination Graham sar-
castically smiled and grinned at the little
girl, until finally he was reproved by
Justice Henry.
Mrs. Posey, aunt Of Effie, Robert B
| Forsythe and A. Harshner testified tC
the futile efforts of the father and other
relatives of the girl to recover her from
/ Graham, shortly after she was left to hi:
care.
The examination was not concluded
and will be continued at 10 o'clock thi.
morning.

AN ENEMY NOW.
A Printer Who Feels That the City
Has Robbed Him.


Has Robbed Him.
a ssessor Irvine is shrouded in gloom;
he has put his foot in it; he will be re-
garded as public enemy. In the pursu-
ance of his duty as Assessor he has called
on all good citizens to pay their poll
taxes. and it is presumed they will do so.
Finding, however, that a number of
printers in the State Office We're prepar-
ing to leave the city without doing so, he
served the State Controller with notice
of garnishment of their salaries. When
they went to get their warrants last
week the air was blue, and one, more in
dignant than the rest, declared that he
never did like Sacramento anyway, but
from now on he was bitter enemy to
the city and should vote and work to his
best ability for the removal of the Capital
from such place.
a ludicrous side to the garnishment
business leaked out, developing the fact
that one of the iokers in the Controllers
Office pinned fast to the warrant of a
prominent and popular employe of the
State a notice that his salary was gar
nisheed for polI-taX. The gentleman in
dignantly claimed that as he was over 90
years of age he was not liable for the tax,
but the jollers were obdurate, and it was
only when he hunted up the Assessor
that he realized that it was April LIST.
Now he is camping on the joker's trail.

ANOTHER LIBEL SUIT
Reporter Healey Charges Propriet
Larlzin With Criminal Libel.

Reporter Healey Charges Proprietor
LarlSin With Criminal Libel.
Last Sundays Leader contained an
ley, a reporter on the Meas, of a man
who had considerable wealth about him
in the way of jewelry and money, but
was helplessly drunk. Healey, it ap-
pears, escorted the helpless Crpsus to the
City Jail, where he was taken care of.
The item referring to the incident
closed as follows: The arresting re-
porter received the congratulations of his
press brethren that he had escaped the
suspicion of trying to roll John Doe and
that his jewelry was found intact, but
when John Doe went for his valuables he
declared that he was so short in coin,
and looked with bad eye on the reporter
and philanthropist."
When Healey was shown the article on
Sunday evening he became very angry
and went in search of the supposed au-
thor, w. L. Marshall, reporter on the
Bee, but who was understood to be en-
ployed on the LeGder on Saturday nights
1t was not until after Healey had punched
his supposed defamer several times thai
he learned that Marshall was not the
author of the item at all, and he, o.
course, apologized for his rashness.
Then it was reported that the rea
author was certain irresponsible
hanger on to the profession who makes
this city his home, but Healey concluded
to make no more mistakes and to dea
terday and lodged the complaint referred
to against the proprietor OF the paper il
which appeared the item which he feel:
was a reflection on his honesty.

STREET SPRINKLING.
Bids to be Called for During the
Present Week.

Bids to be Called for During the
Present Week.
After the City Trustees had concluded
all their other business yesterday after
noon. the Mayor called up the matter of
street sprinkling, and Trustee Green said
he had been making some estimates of
the cost, and thought the city should pur-
chase three new modern sprinklers to be
operated under the direction of the Street
Commissioner.
There's one thing you ought to figure
on, gentlemen" said Mayor Steinman,
"and that is that the streets must be
sprinkled on Sundays. We don't want
any more dusty Sundays"
Mr.. Conklin asked Street Commissioner
Green how many blocks he calculated
one sprinkler would cover, and Mr..
Green replied that it ought to sprinkle
sixteen blocks, at a cost for driver and
horses of s. 80 per day.
1t was estimated that each wagon
owned by the city would cost S105 per
month to operate it, and Mayor Stein
man said he wanted to examine little
closer into the matter of the purchase OF
wagons to satisfy himself as to which
would be the most economical course to
pursue.
City Engineer Boyd was instructed tc
prepare specifications on which sprink-
| ling bids shall be asked. 1t was under
stood that the whole matter would be
settled at a special meeting to be called
some time during the week.

A Foothill Opinion,
placer Herald, Auburn. ]

The health record of San Jose does not
compare well with that of Sacramento,
and for fear the reports this coming sum
mer should impress the people of the
State with this important fact and result
in detracting votes from San Jose on the
Capital removal question, the papers of
the latter town are urging their people to
clean up and scour up, and take good
care of themselves and keep as healthy as
possible, at least until after the vote is
taken. Indeed, if any San Josean is con-
templating sickness, suicide, or death in
any other form, he or she is pitsously ap-
pealed TO postpone the sad event until
the Capital removal question has peen
voted on, or else move at once lowell,
to Sacramento.
