Mrs. Isaac Lane of 81 San Pedro street,
called upon Captain Roberts yesterday
and related a story of brutal treatm n t
inflicted on her by her husband, whom
she eclared to be worthless vaga bond
and dTunkarj. She said that she and her
daughter have difficult time to earn a
living and are com pslled to contribute to
the support of Lane. who takes all the
money he can from them and spends it
tor drink.
Yesterday he took laprobe and started d
to pawn it, but they raised such an objec-
tion that ho decided not to attempt this
and brought it to the pollce station and
said that he believed that the robe had
been stolen and he did not want it about
the house in that case. His wife told the
officer that lady who had roomed at the
Hotel Broadway had given it to her and
that her daughter was present at the
time. Lane was given a good lecture by
Captain Roberts and then ordered out of
the office. The woman was advised to
swear to complaint against her erring
and worthless spouse. The district attor.
ney gave her one for drunkenness, and
the man Lane will probably be arrested

THOSE THREE INDICTMENTS
One Was for Lawyer and the Other for q
Laborer

One Was for q Lawyer and the Other for a
Laborer
One of the indictments returned by the
grand jury on Thursday aftern oon, was.
as has been stated, directed against At
torney S. A. Garrett, who is charged
with EN- mbszzling the funds of some
clients. The facts alleged are tnat on
Septem berI16th last, while acting as at
torney and agent for n. G. Baldwin and
c. L. McComb. Mr.sGarrett converted 1878
to his own use, which belonged to his
clients. Mr.. Garrett claims tEat McCom b's
creditors are making things uncomforta-
BILE for him because he paid part of the
sum to McComb himself instead of TO
them. Mr.. Garrett will be arraigned in
departm ent one of the superior oourt on
Monday morning.
The second indictment is against q
laborer named ]. Brady, who is accused
of arson. This man was arrested in the
early part of the year on the charge of
having burned barn belonging to a
widow named Mrs. Challender, who lives
al Glendale. 1t was alleged that he had
done this out of revenge because the
widow refused to listen to his blarney
and positively declined to marry him.
The evidence trat was introduced before
Justice of tie Peace Young at the time
was hardly strong enough to warrant his
being held to the superior court, and the
magistrate discharged him. The grand
jury prota ably was made acquainted with
further facts and the Indictment was re-
turned. Brady was brought IN Yesterday
by Deputy Sheriff White and placed in
the county Jail in default of bonds.
The third indictment is said to be
gainst a San Peoro man, who was not
custody last night, but in the sheriff s.
Gee it was stated that he would be in
custody before long. The nature of his
uffense is still mystery.

thought that if he ever got into the

Craps Were His Bnne

Judge York yesterday morning al

Dick Hopkins by name. who was re-

His mother found that she could not
control him and that stronger will than
hers was needed to bring her erring off
spring back to the paths of virtue. Dick
Hopkins was slave to the enticing
game of ''cum seben. cum 'leben," and
in order to indulge IL it stayed away
from home and roamed the streets when
he should have been asleep in bed. Once
while playing craps the police raided the

as consequence he had to sleep in the
calaboose all night. The court ordered

THE THEORY OF SELF.DEFENSE
The Roemer Witnesses Show Up the Quarrel.
Ch of IlIIer,


some Character of Ullery
In the Roemer murder case, on trial in
departm ent one of the superior court, the
defense yesterday morning proceeded to
introduce its side of the case. General
Johnstone Jones and Mr.. Rives, the at.
turneys who represent the defendant, lose
no point which would make it appear
that Roemer acted in self defense and
that the deceased barber R. NJ. Ullery,
was dangerous man with an ugly temper.
A mber Uf witnesses were called to the
stand who related instances of quaIrels
and in which Ullery had taken an active
part and they also told of his habit of
making what is com monty called 'guu
plays" One witness, William McCor-
mick, stated under oatn that Uilery was
drunk on the night before the tragedy.
Mccormick later in the evening heard
two reports as of pistol shots and he also
heard the barber exclaim with an oath
that he had scared somebody. Witness
said that UlIery, whose Downey nick
name was ''the Spider habitually car
ried a revolver, that he was quarrelsome
and good boxer. Ullery, he added, had
drawn his pistol on several people and
once pulled out razor while having a
row.
Constable Brookshire also had heard
the two shots referred to by the preced-
ing witness.
In the afternoon the defense was en-
gagged in the same task of proving that
Ullery's reputation for peace and quiet
was far from good. 1t was also eli5ited
that the barber had prowled around the
Roemef premises on the night preceding
the tragedy, presumably to do up bis
enemy. The case will be resumed this
morning.
