The divorce suit of Nellie l.. Gordon
against Levi B. Gordon had just been con-
cluded, and Judge Slack awarded decree
of divorce in favor of the wife on the
ground of failure 70 provide.
In order to make as much defense as
possible Gordon. who is serving a term in
the County Jail for petty larceny. had
himself conducted to the courtroom by a
Deputy Sheriff. In his testimony Gordon
cast some slurs on his wife, and McFad-
den. Mrs. Gordon's brother, was seen to
scowl angrily.
As Gordon was passing from the room
in charge of the officer McFadden, who
was in the courtroom near the door, sprang
upon him and struck him with his fist.
Immediately McFadden was arrested and
was led back to Judge Slack, who ad-
judged him guilty of contempt of court
and sentenced him to serve FIVE days in
the County Jail; so Gordon and Mcfad-
den slept under the same roof last night.

mysterious Chita Jackson, the woman
last seen with Eugene Ware, the clerk
who was murdered in the drugstore at
the corner of Hayes and Market streets
about three years ago, has been figuring
in the Police Courts on two occasions
within the past week.
Richard Brewer, a saloon-keeper. first
caused her arrest on charge of obtaining
$3.50 from HIM by false representations.
The case was to have come up before
Judge Joachimsen yesterday morning, but
while the defendant was waiting for At
to,ney j. j. Coffey, for the prosecution, to
present the case, Brewer swore to another
warrant charging her with forgery. Upon
this warrant she was rearrested and again
sent 10 Jail on bonds of $1,000. Being re-
leased, she again presented herself before
the court and through Walter Gallagher
she demanded an I'm mediate hearing.
Brewer refused to allow. Prosecuting
Attorney Dare to go ahead with the case
and as Attorney ]. ]. Coffey still remained
absent continuance of q week was
granted The court took occasion to
under advisement the suggestion ofsProse-
cutting Attorney Dare TO declare him in
contempt.
The alleged forgery is the signing of the
woman's name as an Endorsement on a
5000 check on the Anglo. California Bank.
She claims that the drawer of the check,
one Tillman. gave her the paper, and she
turned it over 10 Brewer for money he had
paid her from time to time.

pointment of Watt as attorney for Shee-
han, and after Watt had secured the cleo
tion OF a board OF directors to suit his pur-

his associates had taken contract to read

ton it was agreed that only papers bear
ing directly on the employment of John
i. SheehaD and James Ava Watt in the
patronage Immediately under Judge Heb
bard's control should be read. This con-
tracted the job to such an extent that the
reading was concluded yesterday at noon
To sustain the point made in the alleged
libelous circular that Judge Hebbard dis
charged Receiver Shsehan without reQuir-
ing proper accounting to the court the
record was read showing that the dis
charge and exoneration of bondsmen had
been allowed and ordered by Judge Heb
bard because Mr.. Sheehan mad filed in
court a receipt signed bv the president of
the Peoples Home Savings Bank to the
effect that he had turned over all the
property in his hands to the officers of the

IS NOW a SERVANT.
Mrs. McLennan Trusted All Her Wealth
Into the Hands of a
Schemer.

The clouds are gathering around Michael
T. Wards chances for liberty. He is now
serving a term for petty larceny in the
House OF Correction, and when he will be
liberated in January next it Will only be
to stand trial on the more serious charge
of grand larceny.
Mrs. Elizabeth McLennan is the COM
planning witness In this case.
The police have been aware for some
time that Ward had feloniously obtained
considerable money from the woman, bat
her whereabouts were uncertain. She was
discovered a short time ago in Lake
County. where as a servant she has been
working in summer resort for SIS a
month. She was brought TO this City,
where she swore out warrant for Ward s
arrest.
A few years ago Ward made the ac-
quaintance of Mrs. McLennan in Oregon.
She was possessed of $4,000 in cash and
property, the latter being located princi-
pally around Pasadena. Ward won the
woman's confidence and confided to her
the secret of all inheritance of $160. 900 he
had just received.
AS he proposed TO go East to settle up
his affairs he turned over his power of
attorney to the lady, telling her that he
believed she could well represent him on
this coast.
Prior 10 leaving, however, Ward advised
Mrs. McLennan 10 place her property in
terests in the hands of a friend he had in
Los Angeles. To do this the deeds of her
properties were iirst turned over to Ward,
VINO IN the course of time, the woman
says, turned them into cash, leaving her
destitute and obliged to earn her living by
working as a servant.

court, was not present when the court
opened, and as he had the keys of the

appearance, but key was procured that
fitted the lock in the desk and the busi-
ness OF the court was proceeded with, a
deputy clerk being procured.
