Ihree Pasadena Liquor Sellers Sssxlnr Relief
by Ha"eas Corpus

i"ree PASADENA Liquor Sellers Sesxing Relief
by haS.as Corpus
Attorneys Ladd and Hughes made an
attempt yesterday in department four,
before Judge Van Dyke, to have Harry
jackson, c. r. Davis and John McGinty
released from Jail by the habeas corpus
route.
These three worthless are in durance
for having illegally sold liquor in con-
travention of the city ordinance at Pas
adena, which ordinance is worded as
follows: ~
"sec 4. Every person who violates
any Of the provisions of this ordinances
snail De deemed guilty of misdemean-
or and shall be punishable by inpris-
onment not exceeding three months. or
oy hne not less than $10O, not exceeding
$500, or by both such fine and imprison,
ment."
jackson had been sentenced to nav
500 or serve 200 days; Davis S125 or 1o5
days. and McGinty SIPS or 1875 days
THESE attorneys came into court con-
tending that the Pasadena city ordi-
nance placed the limit of Imprisonment
at three months, and consequently any
failure to pay the fine would not war
rant their being confined in Jail beyond
the time mentioned in the ordinance.
Judge Van Dyke granted the motion
TO quash the petition, the writ being
denied In the cases of jackson and Nc
Ginty. the case of Davis going over
until Monday. ar3

Mi.l-Court N1tes

It Is not at all unlikely that in the near
future damage suits will be decidedly
fashionable. 1t is not very many years
ago that sweethearting was carried on,
and young folks enjoyed themselves in
the good old way, at imminent peril to
the young fellows pocketbook, in the
event Of any untoward incident in the
way of lovers quarrel subduing the
ardor Of their hearts, and twist their
matrimonially inclined minds in another
direction. To figure In a breach of prom
list suit was not altogether to the disad-
vantage of the fair plaintiff, but times
have changed. The ideas of the people
have broadened and former hesitancy
Is replaced by desire to obtain compen-
satton when wrong, either real or i'm
agined, has been done.
This being so it is not to be wondered
at that Mrs. Mary ]. Lucas, after being
bruised and severly injured through the
negligence of a hackman. should seek 10
punish him where the average man feels
most acutely, viz, in his pocket.
OF course, it is quite probable that the
hackman may have something to say
on the subject, but SO far the plaintiff
In the case is the only one that has been
heard from. Yesterday the suit of Will
liam A. Lucas and Mary j. Lucas, his
Wife. against William McDermott and
Albert Radcliff was placed on file in the
superior court, and as there set forth
the complainant seems to have had a
pretty hard time.
1t appears that on August 2Sth, Mrs.
Lucas arrived at La Grande station,
Wnere Radclif had his hack in line wait
ing a fare. He was engaged by Mrs
Lucas to drive her to Boyd street out at
Boyle Heights. The hack started off
put for some rason, not stated in the
complaint, and against the wishes and
protests of Mrs Lucas, the driver drew
his hack up alongside the curb close to
Fifth street. Radcliff jumped down and
entered building there and leaving the
mack with horse unhitched. A moment
or two later something occurred to
brighten the horse and it started off
along Firth street, increasing it's pace as
II proceeded. At the junction of Fifth
and Wall streets the hack collided with
another vehicle and upset throwing the
occupant of the hack about and causing
serious injuries. The left eve and left
shoulder of Mrs. Lucas were badly
bruised and her chest was also so badly
bruised as to produce traumatic ple11ris
Not only was Mrs. Lucas confined to
ner nome for some time but, she alleges.
she was during such time deprived of
her income of SIS per week which she
was making in her capacity as nurse.
William McDermott is the EMPLOYER
OF Radcliff, the hack driver and keens
the Fashion stables on East First street.
He has been made defendant with Rad
Cliff and demand for damages is being
made for $4,000.
