CARVED A YOUNG MEXICAN
The Notorious Peter Jacks0n's Latest
Act of Lawlessness
His Vicious Attack on q Young Mexican, In
Which He Slashed His Pace
and Head

'Your honor, and gentlemen of the jury,
wants Mr.. Thomas to defend me in this
case" was the way in which the somewhat
notorious Peter Jackson. charged with as
sault with deadly weapon, made his de-
but in Justice Morrison's court yesterday
afternoon. Peter, who is negro of hercu-
lean build and vicious temper, was up for
arragnment on the charge of having
maliciously slashed young Mexican
named Albert Rivera in the face and head
several times with knife, inhicting ugly
wounds, besides kicking him in the jaw
with No. IL shoe, almost fracturing the
bone. Jackson's victim was also in court,
and his face looked like map of the world
with its crss-crossed marks. The assault
was peculiarly aggravated one,
and absolutely without provocation.
Young Rivera was passing along
North Main street, near the saloon
opposite the Plaza. Jackson, who had
been drinking, was at the same place.
Some one, in passing jackson, slapped
him on the shoulder and passed on. jack
son turned on Rivera, and applying vile
epithet, told him that he did not want any,
thing of that kind. The youth protested
against the language used, saying that he
had done nothing, and passed on into the
only remained in the place short time,
and when he came out, the negro began,
without any warning whatsoever, to carve
him with his knife. Rivera fell to the
pavement under the assault, when jackson
kicked him in the jaw as he lay on the
pavement, and fled. Later he was arrested
by Officer Harris, but he had managed to
make away with his knife, which was not
found.
After taking the testimony and looking
at Rivera, the justice held Jackson to an
swer to the charge in $500 bail, in default
of which he went to jail.
jackson is quite a character about the
city, and has taken some part in local
politics in q small wey. He has peculiarly
uniform would very readily pass for Da-
honey chieftain. This is the second time
he has been in serious trouble, having
once before assaulted man with a knife.

Knew Nothing About It

"Ho says, your honor, that he knows
nothing about it, he was SO drunk. He
says if he stole the coal he is guilty; il he
did not steal the coal he is not guilty."
This was the answer made by Interpreter
Appel to the question as to whether he
pleaded guilty or not guilty to the charge
of petty larceny, asked Jose de los Santos
Salas by Assistant City Attorney Thomas.
The defendant, who is 65 years of age, was
on trial before Justice Morrison yesterday
afternoon on charge of having stolen 25
cents worth of coal. The defendant was
perfectly willing to stand his trial and
wanted the court to pass on his case,
which was done, it being quickly dis

Attorney Brodersons Case Goes Over Until

full Jurors and Adnlonistics Them

G. Mirande of Pomona will have new
trial. He was arrested, tried and found
guilty by jury in tho recorders court at
Pomona of selling liquor contrary to a city
ordinance. He owned and conducted a
winery and had at his place disposed of
come wine to purchasers who were in the
employ of the law and order league at Pc.
mona.
The case was appealed to the supreme
court by the Liquor Dealers Protective as
sociation and Judge Smith yesterday gave
an opinion reversing the lower court and
remanding the case for q new trial.
When the appeal was heard the point
was raised that the Pomona ordinance was
in contravention of q state law and void
but Judge Smith avoided this proposition
and set aside the judgment upon another
phase. The defendant had raised the
point that a challenge which he made to a
juror for cause was not allowed and that
his peremptory challenges in getting rid of
the juror. For this reason the jury was moi
framed as he would have had it. The
court held that this was error, that the
challenge should have been allowed
There were other points involved in the
decision of technical character, but the
most important one was that OF the failure
of the Pomona recorder to allow the de.
fendant's challenge OF the disqualified
juror.
There are several other cases in court of
character similar to this one and for this
reason the decision is of special interest.

Row Over a Lease


Mrs. Annie Francis has had trouble with
G. M. Graves and Sarah E. Graves and is
about to sue them. She claims that she
came here last October and that the Graves
then had a lease to the Ardmour lodging
house at Broadway and Sixth streets. Up.
on Misrepresentation, as she claims, made
by the Graves, Mrs. Francis bought the
lease and furniture for $500 cash and
$500 on time. She asserts that the reason
she bought it was because the Graves folks
told her that they could sell it again for
her almost Immediately for $25OO.
For month after her purchase Mrs.
Francis waited for the S2500 purchaser,
but he came not. In lieu thereof there
came a bill for rent at an exorbitant figure.
The Graves then stepped in and Mrs.
Francis claims that she listened to prop
csiton to deed back the furniture for $500
cash. The defendants were then to sell it
and to give her all it would bring over
$1,000. This she did, being unadvised of
her rights, and the defendants sold it fer
$14O0, which they proceeded to hold. She
saws that the furniture was not worth
$500 and that she bought it for the sole
purpose of making the $500 out of the
mythical figure of the defendants on the
speculation.

FOR A VERY OLD DEBT.
PaderewSki's Private Secretary
Threatened With
Lawsuit.
A Renaissance of "Pinafore" Pro-
duction of Sixteen Years Ago.
Costly Costumes.

Hugo Goerlitz, private secretary for Pad
erewski, received letter from the Reid
Collection Agency yesterday demanding
the immediate payment of a bill amount
ing to $541, of which $3.50 is interest and
$251 principal. The bill was alleged to
have been contracted with g. Verdier e.
Co., "the City of Paris" in 1879. In the
event of the demand not being met a suit
at law is threatened, and the letter goes on
to say:
In the proceedings suggested we would
bring you before the court for examination as
to your financial standing. To insure our get
ting correct information we would feel bound
to subpoena Mr.. Paderewski as a witness. We
trust that yon will save us all this trouble by
yourself the expense incident thereto.
The bill is for dresses and other things
alleged to have been furnished to Mrs.
GoerlitZ, of which the principal items
are black suit with lace overdress, $40;
white Peking satin suit, s12O; pink wrap
per, $50.
Mr.. Goerlitz saw representative of the
house yesterday afternoon. and while de-
claring that ne never contracted the debt
and did not owe it, offered to pay the
principal rather than have any trouble
about it. The offer was declined, how
ever, and the whole amount demanded or
nothing. He then said he would paw
nothing, DuJ would nght the whole claim.
When l was on my way East from
Australia said Mr.. Goerlitz yesterday,
II stopped here in company with my wife,
Amy Leslie. was very young and mex
perienced. Fred Lister and another in
duced us to present the ope ra of ''Pina-
fore" at the Grand Opera-house. We had
no money and they agreed to provide the
costumes.
"Mr. Lister brought representative of
the City of Paris to my wife at the Bald
win and told her to give her order. She
did SO, and that order is represented in
this bill. One of the parties ran away
with the receipts of the opera and we were
left without means. We had to work our
way East and met such trials and diff
culties on the way that we arrived in New
York utterly broken in health. 1t has
taken us years to recover from the effects
of that experience. I am not responsible
for this debt, but would rather pay it than
suffer the annoyance. They think to COM
pei me TO pay it with the threat of bring
ing Paderewski into court and of attach
ing the receipts of his concerts. They
cannot do that. ] am simply his private
secretary on a salary and he is not re-
sponsible for my private affairs"
Mr.. Goerlitz has retained Delmas &
Shortridge as his counsel.

Methodist Preachers.


The subject of st. Paul's homiletics
aroused quite lively discussion yesterday
at the Methodist preachers meeting, on
the science of sermonizing in general and
the way in which it is practiced in local
pulpits in particular.
Rev. DR.. Nelson was the speaker who
made the address on homiletics. He con-
fined himself principally to St. Paul's
methods of preaching, but also spoke very
disapprovingly of the modern method of
announcing the topic of the sermon before
hand, and regretted that, in his estima-
ton, the pulpit of to-day is too miscel-
laneous.
In discussing the paper Rev. DR.. Case
said: Il have been accused of sensational
preaching 81 object" said Rev. b.
Chenoweyth. "There were no personal
illusions in DR.. Nelson's paper and DR..
Case is wandering from the subject" This
question being put to the meeting, ii was
resolved TO let DR.. Case continue, and he
said: "There is nothing sensationally
offensive in what / preach. l believe we
ought to take the conditions of things as
they are and go in against the wick edness. !"
Rev. E. M. Hill said: II believe Paul
spoke about politics several times and In
the name OF common-sense is not man
to speak about surrounding conditions to-
day?"
ms question was answered TO some ex-
tent by Rev. DR.. Urmy, who remarked:
alt is well for DR.. Case or any other man
to preach against the evils of the day, and
yet think there is great danger in preach
ing that allures crowd. Does 1t lead to
anything2 Has DR.. Case. had any con-
verts 2"
"Yes!" replied DR.. Case emphatically.
81 have had one or two Catholics"
What we're they converted to, Protest
ticpn Or Ghri2fiQnitv ~ acEaI n,
Urmy.
"Both." replied DR.. Case.
II am glad to hear it." said DR.. Urmy.
"Dr. Case can be sure of his converts for
he can examine them phrenologically.'
Rev. e. ]. Henderson bore evidence to
the fact tina. he had been much blessed by
DR.. Cases sermon.
"Now that DR.. Case has been vindicated
we can discuss the paper" said DR.. Coyle.
81 believe in letting the word be its own
interpreter" Referring to the advertising
OF topics, Rev. DR.. Bentley said: ~ have
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-02-11

sometimes read topics that have made me
wonder how the preacher could look
man in the face the next day." In con-
Guiding the discussion DR.. Nelson hurled
this parting shot at his brethren: ~ have
said the pulpit of to-day is too miscel-
laneous. If you announce a text and
preach as miscellaneously as you have
discussed this paper you have exposed
yourselves"
On motion of DR.. Carroll q committee
consisting of DR.. Case, Or. Coyle and Dr.
Carroll was appointed to draft resolutions
upon the departure of DR.. Baird for
Europe. Rising resolutions of coincidence
were passed for the deaths of Rev. G. Fl.
Afflerbach and Rev. Mr.. Archibald of
Oakland.
