elephants on his front steps and ride
around the block on his wagon with him.
Mr.. Walker is gray-haired and affabe and
speaks Spanish. One of his neighbors is
William Watts, who is middle-aged, gifted
with long gray beard, paternal smile
and ten children. who range in size from
the yeriest toddler to the tall boy who is
big enough to have his outgrown clothes
cut over for his father. These two house
holds, opulent in babies, are like the rest
of Francisco street in that respect, for
there are battalions of babies in a house
and regiments of them in single block.
Out Of this plethora of young people
comes story which is more or less grew
some, according to the degree of credit
which is attached to it. 1t has been
averred by Thomas Walker that an at
tempt has been made by Billy Watts the
N-year-old son of William Watts, to dis
pose of George Walker, aged seven. in a
peculiarly atrocious and blood-curdling
way. According to this averment, Billy
Watts tied George Walkers hands behind
him, tied balerope around his legs,
bound a piece of coarse cloth over his
mouth for gag, put him in -four barrel
and hammered the barrel-head in, all with
the intention of throwing the boy in the
barrel overheard in the darkness OF the
night, and SO numbering the lad.
William Watts puts in an alibi for Billy
and shows that ne was not at home at the
time that George Walker was in a barrel.
Mr.. Watts does not deny that George
was in q barre1 and does not atrapoD+ 81
mitigate the circumstance that it was a
strong -four barrel, stout of stave and hoop
and new throughout. At about O'Clock
Monday afternoon George Walker was
seen to emerge from a -four barrel in the
Watts family yard. This much is admitted.
Beyond this statement there are no two
children in the block who agree, so that
the facts in the case are puzzling and con-
Trajectory. When the alleged barreling
took place there were two children, boy
and girl, in the vicinity, and they were
the only spectators. These are members
of the Watts family, and they both
soiemnly assert that George Walker got
into the barrel himself to hide from his
sister.
Two other children, boy and a girl,
little Louis Coutreras, aged 8, and Gala
Walker, aged 8. allege that they saw
George Walker when he was taken from
the barrel, and that he was gagged and
bound. and that blood oozed from his
mouth. There were no grown persons
who saw the occurrence; and as the chill
dren mentioned tell contradictory stories
on all points, it is difficult to ascertain
whether tragedy was attempted or if the

KEPT HER PROPERTY.
Charles Arms Method of Reimbursing
Himself for Alleged Damage to
His Carpets

Louise Schwegler, now living at 1920
Clay street, swore out search warrant in
Judge Conlan's court yesterday for the
recovery of her gold watch and chain,
which she alleges are in the unlawful pos
session OF Charles Arms tailor, 402 Jones
street. She also swore to complaint
charging Arms with grand larceny.
The complainant says that she roomed
in Arms house for about year till June
8, when she was taken sick with typhoid
fever. Detective Anthony heard of her
case and took her to the French Christian
Union and through that society she was
sent to the French Hospital.
She recovered and left the hospital few
days ago. She went to Arms house to get
her effects and found that her trunk had
been broken open and her watch and
chain taken. She could get no satisfaction
from Arms and notified Detective
Anthony. Accompanied by Anthony she
returned to Arms house and Arms ad-
mitted taking the watch and chain because
Miss Schwegler's nurse had ruined his
carpets. He refused to give up the watch
and chain and referred the detective to
his attorney, John f. Riley, 426 California
street, who had the articles.
Attorney Riley is out of town so the
search warrant and warrant for grand
larceny were procured.

Sad Plight of Santiago Corella,
a Fourteen. Year-0ld
Boy.
Mrs. Estefana Garcia Accused of Maui.
ing Him Whenever She Got
the "Tantrums."

The sad case of Santiago Corella, noted
in THE CALL some time ago, has once more
been brought to public notice. Corella,
who is only IA years of age, has been liv-
ing, or rather existing, with an old woman
named Estefana Garcia in lodging house
at 323 Montgomery avenue. The woman
is said to be subject TO .'tantrums, y during
which she has been seen to beat the young
ster numerically with pots, pans, broom
sticks, or anything else that might come
handy.
Poor Santiago grew to fear these "tan-
trums," and flee from them as from a
cyclones path. Hence his humble bed on
a chest in the woman's room was often
vacant, its tenant seeking repose in the
dust-hole, the swill- bin, or in some friendly
closet or corner in the corridors. One of
the dodgers, taking pity on the boys sad
plight, offered him a share in his quarters
whenever Mrs. Garcia's interesting symp-
toms might make their appearance, a
hospitality which Santiago gladly ac-
cepted. At the same time the man noti-
fed Mrs. Garcia and her alleged husband
that in case matters did not mend the
authorities would be notified.
Matters did not mend, and accordingly
the boy was taken in charge by the So
dren and placed in the Boys Training
Home OIL Taylor street, while a warrant
was issued for the arrest of Mrs. Garcia on
charge of cruelty.
