THE EVIDENCE CONFLICTING
Joseph Morrison Is on Trial for
Cruelty
Plenty Of Expert Testimony Furnished-The
Case Is to Be Concluded Tomorrow
Morning

Justice Owens was busy the best part of
yesterday afternoon listening to the evil
dcnce IN the charge of alleged cruelty to
animals made on Monday by Humane
Officer Hntchins against Joseph Nor
rison, the foreman for Ramish e. Marsh,
the street contractors.
The mule alleged to have been worked
while suffering from a veterinary disease,
was one of the principal exhibits in the
case upon behalf of the people. The ami
nal was of course not taken into the
court room, but was permitted to give
mute testimony while tied in front of the
police station. where the veterinary ex-
perts summoned by both sides examined
the beast. under the technical eyes of the
court, at their leisure.
Among those who testified were DR..
Rowland of Pasadena. the county in
spector of domestic animals. DR.. Whit
tlesey and DR.. L. W. D. Morrison.
The evidence in the case was some
what conflicting. some of the experts
upon the stand giving it as the r opinion
that the mule in the case had been mall
treated while others thought that the
animals atfiiction was very ordinary
affair. common to all mules. the best
remedy for Il e complaint being lots of
hard work for the beast to drive dull care
away.
For the defense, Charles H. Tulle of the
Pioneer Truck company. did not think
that the animal whose case was IN court.
had been ill-treated. and this opinion was
shared by Major Z. G. Durfee OF Santa
Barbara, until recently the manager of
the big Hollister ranch. Major Durfee
said that in an experience with such
animals extending over a period of
nearly thirty years. he had never known
of a case where mule afflicted like the
brute marked exhibit A, had been severe
ly injured by being. while so afflicted,
kept at his regular employment.
The case will be concluded tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock. For the defense
appears Will A. Harris. esq, while the
interests of the people are being attended
to by Deputy District Attorney James.
A large delegation of members of the
Humane society. which is pushing the
prosecution. were present during the
trial of the case.

SKUNGO'S POOLISHNESS
He Has to Stay in Jail Long Time for Calling
on rirs. Ramirez

The trial of John Skungo, an Italian
fisherman of Wilmington, on the charge
of assault with intent to commit rape,
which was to have taken place yesterd ay,
was compromised by his being allowed to
plead guilty to simple assault in depart
ment one. and having waived time, he
was sentenced to ninety days in the coun-
ty jail, in addition to having been locked
up since the Goth of January last.
Skungo is severely punished for having
been too fresh. On the evening of Janu-
ary Goth. being intoxicated. he called up
on his comely neighbor Mrs. Germana
Ramirez. who was then entertaining Mrs.
Gomez. Skungo was altogether too familiar
with Mrs. ssamirez, which, Mrs. Gomez be-
ing present. she had to resent Skungo.
being drunk. could not sec that his at
tentions went beyond the bounds of de-
cency, especially under the circumstances.
After making several foolish proposlt-
ions, he disrobcd and jumped into Mrs
Gomez's bed and forthwith went
to sleep. There the constable found
him snoring and landed him in the Gala
boose. The justice at Wilmington held
him for rape and the district attorney
condescendi ngly reduced the charge to
an attempt to commit the crime

possibly Mr.. Lacy's Penelope, now
away on a sealing expedition, and the
Lizzie Bell and Tom Ellis Will probably

There is plenty of oportunlty and every
advantage for yachting on this coast
