PASADENA, Aug. 23.-The case of
George Islar, charged with disturbing the
peace. arrested on complaint OF Mrs.
Bebruch, occupied The attention of Judge
Merriam this morning. The parties are
Russian Jews and neither OF them can
speak enough English to bs understood,
20 an interpreter was engaged IN the per-
son Of Mr.. Metz, who translated their tes-
timony from the German language which
they could both speak. Neither of them
was satisfied. however. that their testi-
nony should be given in such circuitous
manner, when they began to get excited,
and for some time there was flow of
language that was impossible OF interpre-
tation. as both talked at once in a jargon
that was neither English nor German.
Mrs. Bebruch was put on the stand and
testified through the interpreter that the
defendant had called her loud names and
all in such loud voice as to be heard on
the street, causing people to stop as they
passed the place. There were two wit
nesses to oorrooorate her story, Mr.. and
Mrs. Leu, evidently of the same
nationality, and while all these
witnesses were telling their story Isiar
would vehemently denounce their state
ments in mixture of English and Ger
man. Islar swore that he did not call
the woman the names alleged. Ono of
his neighbors testified that he had here
tofore borne a good reputation in the
neighborhood, while the Bebruchs were
frequently in row, owing to their bibu-
lous tendencies. The Judge took the
case under advlsem ent until p. M,
when he discharged the defendant. Ben
Hahn appeared for the plaintiff; while
the defendant was without counsel.
