Judge Campbell Adds $4,000 to
the Sum of $4,000 Already
Imposed.
HE WILL DEFEND WOMEN.
Six Months in Jail for Any Court
Vagrant Who Insults the
Ladies.

| Peter F. Lane will have to produce
$4,000 bail in addition to the $4,000 al
ready insisted upon by the court in the
cases of the little girls who allege they
| had been abused by him.
| Judge Campbell had little trouble yester-
| day in arriving at a conclusion. The wit
nesses told their stories in stralght-for-
| ward way, and the attorneys for the de-
| PENDANT, Lane, did not interpose objections
! so frequently as before. The prosecuting
witness was Emma Bradhoff.
Augustine Parritt also testified and SUBJ
stantially corroborated the evidence OF the
prosecuting witness.
do you know the defendant, Lane?"
asked Judge Campbell.
Eyes, that's him. pointing to the de-
PENDANT.
Lane dropped his head and covered his
face with his hand.
The witness said she had cried:
"Shame! shame!' at him.
Certain testimony was admitted by
stipulation as applying to the case, and
the Judge was very careful to so word the
stipulation that no advantage could be
taken by the lawyers.
The other case will be taken up this
afternoon at O'Clock.
Judge Campbell proposes to defend the
women who attend the trial Of Captain
Lane from insult by loafers who assemble
there to hear the sickening evidence in the
| case.
| Every day two or more ladies, members
of the w. G.. T. o., are in court. These at
| PENDANTS are occasionally subjected to un-
complimentary remarks, and one, a proml-
nent worker on social purity, has been
Lei, loI hxy1 n n h
| ject of indecent comment. She has borne
| the annoyance plainingly for several
| DAYS, but at the close of court she told her
| trouble to the Judge.
Il have wanted to slap him." she said,
"but did not know what the penalty
would be. II my temper gets the better OF
me some day will you send me TO jail2"
Judge. II would stop court proceedings
to give three cheers. Then l would send
the fellow up for six months. Point him
out next time and I'll show you what l
will do
The lady promised if the well-dressed
fellow repeat his insult he will find Judge
| Campbell gallant defender of the women.
Just then Captain O'Rourke passed the
group, which comprised detective be-
| sides the ladies, and said to the former:
| eff Mrs. French and these ladies Will
be of any service to you in your search
t-you may take them with you.
| Evidently the detective thought their
| services would be invaluable, for he was
accompanied in his official "beating of the
brush" about Telegraph Hill last evening
by three well-known ladies.
Mrs. French is daily in receipt of letters
calling her attention to numerous cases
similar to those that have recently reused
| public indignation.
! Mrs. Henrietta E. Brown Is in receipt of
| an invitation from the Stockton W. c. T.
.. to give an address at the Methodist
Church of that town week from Sunday.
1t is probable that she and Mrs. French
will present the need of further prose
| cution of reform work on social lines at
| that time.
1t is expected that there will he large
audience at the women's mass-meeting at
the Y. M. G. A. auditorium at o'clock
| this afternoon, when plans for permanent
organization will be discussed
