She said that while the company with which she
and Armstrong were engaged played al Stock
ton il became necessary in the last act for her TO
fall into the arms OF defendant. and that while IN
That position she noticed that he pressed her
with more than usual ardor and that imnedi-
ately after she imissed the brooch, which was
the only ornament that she wore at that time.
She informed different members OF the company
OF her loss and search was made, but the
brooch could not be found. Miss Fallon was
under the impression from the first that Arm
strong took the brooch, but aid not tell any one
of her suspicion until after the company
reached Oakland, when she Informed the police,
The broken pieces OF the pin were Introduced
in evidence ana positively Identified by the
complaining witness as being pieces OF the
brooch which she lost in Stockton.
On crOss-eXamination Miss FallOn testified
that she identified the brooch not from any
marks upon IL but from the fact That she had
worn II for five years and that the man who
made it for her told her that there had never
been but one other Ike II made.
Witnesses who identified the broken pieces
OF gold as MISS fallon's brooch gave testimony,
and then the police told about the recovery OF

cused and of his Identification as the man who
had sold the broken jewel foi 81 10.
Armstrong, who did not offer any testimony,
was held for IrIal before the superior Court

Frank Greenwich, who has been before the
pubic for several days as Fred GTeenwald, the
Mo rmOn. who robbed his employers 10 support
his two families, aud who yesterday completed
sentence al the City Prison for petty larceny,
has been held on more serious ch rye.
On the prison register his name now appears
as charged with adultery and as Ell route to
Ogden.
When Greenwich was arrested here the Chief
OF Police telegraphed the Ogden authorities.
He was Immediately wired back 70 hold Green
well, as he was wanted, ana that a warrant
would be telegraphed.
THIS charge against Greenwich is an old one
and he was arrested on IL here IN March last,
but was allowed 10 20 free, after lyipg in Jail
for several days, because of the failure of the
United States authorities 10 Utah TO forward
ext addition papers IN the case.
This time The Chief Of Police refused 70 hold
him unless the warrant was foI Incoming. IL
was accordingly teegi aphed in full and was
signed by Judge James a. Miner. The lndict-
ment against the man was dated September 10,
1892.
The warrant gives Frank Greenwich as til e
mans true name. An officer Is on his way here
from Utah TO take Greenwich back.

six little children and wife No. Is also In the
land of saints with her three children, while
the Busn-sIIeet vile, or No. 2 With her two lii
tie white headed gills VIII be left alone In Oak
land. But she Is pretty independent as she
has always SUPPORTED herself Dy her sewing
and says Greenwich never gave her very much
help.
Upsetting Council Work.
Judge Henshaw delivered very important
decision yesterday in The matter OF the opening
up, grading and sewerlnE OF Commerce street,
a matter upon which the Council has been
working for many months.
Judge Henshaw decided the assessment for
the sew on that street was Illegal. The mat
ter was brought 10 an issue in a suit in which
the contractor, j. II. BelseT, sues a property
owner, William HOffschneider, for the amount
Of his assessment, which Hoffschneder had
refused to pay.
This decision will very much cOmplicate
matters. as the seweT-work has all been COM
pleted, and the ouncil Will have TO find some
W Y 0uL Of the difficulty, as u was upon lis
auth oTiiy that the work was undertaken
The decision says That the defendant attacks
the prima-iace case upon three grOundS-kirst,
that the sewer Is constructed through private
property; second, that the notices of the pass
ing Of the resolu ion OF intention were not
properly and cOnsplcuOusly posted along the
line OF the contemplated work: third, that the
assessment IN evidence is void.
Each Of these points Is thoroughly dissected
by Judge HeDShaw in his decision, the first two
points being decided for the contractor, while
Tie last and most important point is for the
defendant.
Fisk One Ahead.
In Judge Henshaw's court yesterday Asa
Fisk, the compound interest manlpulatOr,
scored a partial victory in his demurrer case
agaist J. q. Severance.
In 1873 Severance borrowed 5000 from Fisk,
WHO figures the compound interest at $50, 600,
and brings suit for that amount. Severance
filed an amended answer In which he comes
right back al Fisk and goes him one better.
Severance alleges that Fisk collected $500 for
him, and. taking F.sk's method for computing
interest, brings counter suit for $50, 200, or
double the amount OF Fisk's claim against him.
To this FISK demurred, and was sustained by
the court yesterday.
tainted Away.
When Arthur +. Ryerson the young man
who pleaded guilty to small forgery, was sem
fenced yesterday 10 fifteen months at San
Quentin by Judge Ogden. his pretty wife, who
was present with her TWO little children,
swOoned dead away falling IN her husbands
arms. She had been sitting MAR him during
the rendering of the decision by the court. she
was revived aud from the courtroom, while
Ryerson was tan en- back TO the Jail sobbing. 1t
seems that Ibis was Ryerson's first offense, and
he stated be was driven TO 1t TO provide for his
family when he pleaded guilty TO the charge.
