Frank Cooper was arrested Saturday
and appeared before the recoder,
charged with vagrancy. He was given
1--WE days in the county Jail. Considera-
BILE sentiment was expressed in regard
to the matter, as Cooper was said to be
In the last stages of consumption. and
the recorder has been censured for treat
ing the man with so little charity. 1t IS
stated that Cooper was sick, hungry
and unable to work, and that he was
persuaded to plead guilty on the ground
that if he waited for a jury trial, as he
asked, he would get just as long time
in Jail; the recorder could only sentence
him for five days anyway, and his case
could not come up before Thursday, un-
til which time he would be Jailed.
Cooper is about 35 years old, and says
that it makes no difference to him. He
expects to be hauled to the pottGrs
field in short time anyway. He tells
a pitiful story of his experiences in San
Diego and Los Angeles, of being re-
fused admittance to the county hospital
of San Diego, of trying to get work, etc.
On the other hand, Recorder Rossiter
and Marshal Lacey say that the man did
where near so far gone as has been
stated, in fact looked better than many
men who have been sent up "to do time"
in the county JAIL The recorder further
says that this is generally thefway to
get man into the county hospital who
Is begging on the streets; that the
physician in charge examines him when
he Is brought to the Jail, and if the case
seems to warrant it he Is transferred
at once to the county hospital.
