| In few minutes the larger portion of
the spectators left the room and the de-
fendant's attorneys appeared satisfied, al
though the corps of newspaper men was
considerably augmented by experienced
men, such as Supervisor Joe King and
about twenty-fv others.
''Call the first witness, Mr.. Forbes" said
Judge Campbell.
"Lillie Lindsay"
els this the prosecuting witness?"
''She is the child in whose behalf the
prosecution has been instituted by her
mother,,' said Prosecuting Attorney
| Forbes.
In moment the small mite of human
ity against whom the gross outrages are
charged to have been perpetrated slowly
made her way, guided by Policeman
Rourke, who arrested the defendant and
Leon Meyers, through those who had
gathered themselves as closely as possible
| to the railing near the Judges bench. She
did not appear to be much embarrassed by
| the staring people. Her drawn and wasted
face aud eXpressionless eyee, her listless
movements and her apparent lack of un-
derstanding of the terrible situation in
which she was most important figure,
silenced every tongue, even those Of the five
energetic attorneys for the defendant.
Come here, little lady. Don't be
alarmed" said Judge Campbell.
She stepped within his sympathetic
arms and then turned and gazed at the
mall GRO wd with a slight frightening of
her eyes.
"How old are you, my child?' inquired
the Judge.
"Ten years."
''Do you go to school?"

"Where?"
"The Broadway Grammar School,"
"In what grade are your"
1.-THE second grade"
"Do you like to 60 to school?"
"Yes, sir. Mother says / must learn to
read and write and other things"
"Do you 20 to Sunday-school?"
"Yes. Ny teachers are Sister Mary and
Sister Josephs."
"What has this to do with the charger"
CALCULATED Attorney Firebaugh.
'1 am simply trying to discover whether
or not this child is competent witness to
be sworn to give evidence under oath, )" re-
piled Judge Campbell.
DO you know what will happen TO you
if you tell stories2" continued the Judge,
addressing the child.
II will go to hell.
"Do you know what will happen to you
if you should tell stories in giving your
evidence in this case?"
II would be arrested for life If did not
tell the truth"
Gentlemen, will admit this witness TO
be sworn"
1--WE object" said Mr.. Cook, "as her an
swers and her age indicate that she does
not comprehend the nature and character
of an OATH"
COLLECTION overruled"
1--WE ask for an exception" continued
Mr.. Cook.
Make record of the exception, Mr..
Stenographer."
The child then, in response to questions,
said that she had been confined in the
City Prison; that Mrs. Smiley, cor what
ever you call her." she said had had
charge of her, and that Mrs. Smiley as
we'll as others to whom she had talked had
only told her to tell all the truth. She
said she lived with her mother on Green
street-she thought 1856 was the number.
Up to this point in the examination the
attorneys took exception to the form of
The San Francisco call., 1895-11-17

Her testimony, with some variations,
was substantially identical with that OF
Lille Lindsay, although she had been
kept in another room while the child
Lindsay was examined. This witness
added some incidents to the details that
would hardly occur to child of her age
unless she was telling the truth, and with
a variation as to particulars of these de-
tails that indicated she knew what she
was talking about. Then she signed her
! name to recognizance in plain writing
and affixed period with deliberate exact
ness.
officer Rourke testified that when he
arrested Meyers the latter exclaimed:
"Oh, God, l thought those girls would
get me into trouble. | told the foreman to
keep them out mum Der of times"
"He told me he had asked officer Walsh,
on the block, to keep the girls away
The taking of testimony was then con-
cluded. It was apparent the defendant 8
attorneys expected that Meyers would be
held for trial They offered no testimony
on the part of the defense.
After few words about the testimony
Judge Campbell held the defendant for
trial in the Superior Court under $40 900
bond. The defendants attorneys de-
INJURED at the amount of the bond, but
the Judge refused to reduce it.
He also directed that the witnesses be
held under $500 bail to appear and testify
in the Superior Court. He stated that
written consent had been given by the
parents of the two children, Lille Lind
say and Augustine Parritt, that they be
kept at the home of the Girls Aid Society
until after the trial, at least, in the Su-
peror Court.
Frank Kane, secretary of the Society for
the Suppression of Vice, has applied to
Judge Coffey for letters Of guardianship
over all the girls involved IN the various
cases now in the courts, and General John
McComb, secretary of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children, will in
tervene as an applicant, also, for the guar
dianship of the children.
During the hearing Rev. G. o. Brown
and Mrs. Rose French sent in written re-
quests to Judge Campbell to be permitted
to be present, but on objection on part Of
the defense the requests were denied.
The case of Lane will be heard Monday
afternoon at 2 O'Clock.

Eugene Pardini, a Shoemaker on
Washington Street,
Accused.
LEON MEYERS HELD FOR TRIAL
Two of the Little Victims Tell Shock
ing Stories in Court-A
Bribe Offered.

Gradually the veil is being lifted from
the shocking crimes of Telegraph Hit,
and with each new day comes the discov-
cry of still more revolving details. And
with each new day, too, outraged justice is
rapidly reaching out after the culprits. In
the Police Court yesterday two of the little
girls told their stories, directly charging
Leon Meyers, who was held in bonds
of $4,000 to appear for trial before the Su-
perior Court.
There will be a mass-meeting of women
to-day in Metropolitan Hall to take action
upon the denominations.
Eugene Pardini, proprietor of a shoe
store at 619 Washington street, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon by Secretary
Frank Kane of the Pacific Coast Society
for the Suppression of Vice and Policeman
T. J. Coleman.
The arrest arose out of a conversation
Secretary Kane had with the little girls in
Matron Gilmore's room in the City Prison
on Friday. Pardini is charged with the
same offense as Lane, Meyers, Ratz and
Hinshaw.
The arresting officers state that when
Pardini was told what he was to be charged
with he voluntarily admitted the charge,
but said that the little girls were to blame.
When seen at the City Prison later, he
denied all knowledge of the crime, and
said he was innocent. Girls used to go to
his store and annoy him, but he always
drove them away.
He has retained ex-Judge Ferral and
Attorney PistoIesi to defend him.
Pardini has been in the shoe business in
this City for the past thirty years. He is
about so years of age, and is considered a
man of means. He is well known to sew
eral members of the Police Department
who were his patrons.
e Hinshaw still gives expression to his
feelings of surprise and indignation at
being charged with the crime. His attor-
neys have been telling him to keep SILENT
and when asked for further information,
beyond a general denial, he would say
nothing.

told the shocking details. Step by step,
by apt questioning, she related what had
been done. Not inffequently even the
Judge was at loss for words with which
to phrase his questions within the child's
COMPREHENSION. At one time he evidently
considered it proper to suggest words that
ness.
"You have TO right to make sugges-
tions," roared Mr.. Firebaugh with CORFU
gated brows and flashing eyes.

"You are not fair
"You must not be impudent, Mr.. Fire
baugh. Remember, it is only master of
courtesy that attorneys are permitted to

be present at these preliminary hearings"
The witness said that little Augustine
'Parritt had been present when Meyers had
perpetrated the outrages charged. Meyers
gave the witness cents.
In the course of various questions relat-
ing to dates the child was asked to relate
the date to the times of her attendance at
Sunday-school.

thought, "to Sunday-school four times

the defendant and its contents. She said
there was man having long beard who
kept ordering them away from the place.

know who it was. She said she had gone

from one to the other, scarcely ever took
his eyes from the witness. He smiled
whenever the slightest suggestion OF

unable to sit down or keep from moving
about.
"If you can't hear the witness come up
here" said the Judge.
''We will retain our places, replied Mr..
Cook, severely.
"Well, stay there" said the Judge.

"Suppose he should only want his friends

"Well, I suppose he has that right un-

81 would have no objection if all the
ladies who desired to be present were ad-
mitted, but the terms of the law do not
allow of the exercise of discretion on my
part in the matter" said Judge Campbell.
"But if your honor please"-began At

Judge Campbell, "may as we'll understand
and be informed, that the court may ex-

torneys on both sides of this case. Make

tons to the rule you insist upon"

rently alarmed, and manifesting much en-
barrassment, all of which, in very large
measure, disappeared once Judge Camp-
bell began talking with her. The usual
preliminary questions were asked in re-
gard to her competency as witness and.
