The Southern Pacific Company Wins a
Verdict Against Koebig-George
NJ. Barnett Committed for
Twenty-Five Days

In consequence Of the continued ILL
ness of Judge Smith, the arguments in
the case of G. S. Allen, jr.. charged with
having practiced medicine as a physician
at Calabasas without license, were
made to the jury yesterday with Judge
Mckinley on the bench.
Both the prosecution and the defense
were limited by the court to half an hour
each within which to present their case.
After the case was given to the jury
there was not much time lost, and there
in remains tiny little bit of hope should

jury We're out very short time, and
upon returning into court. being asked
to read the verdict, the foreman by mis-
chance read from the wrong slip and
said mot guilty" when he intended to
read from the slip wherein the actual
verdict of guilty" had been written in
the jury room.
Judge Mckinley. probably forgetting
for the moment that in criminal case it
is usual to have the clerk read the ver-
dict after it has been rendered by the
foreman and then record it, after which
the jury is discharged, no sooner heard
the verdict of mot guilty" pronounced
by the foreman than he ordered the jury
discharged. Then came a chorus of
nos" from certain of the jurors, and the
foreman corrected the mistake he had
made and read the true return of guilty
as charged in the information"
The question now being considered by
the defense is whether the verdict of
mot guilty having been returned and
the jury discharged the case had not
judicially ended? OF course, it is only
technical point, having no merit in equi-
ty, but hair-splittng is not altogether
unknown in the superior court of this
and other counties.
The offense of which Allen has been
convicted is a misdemeanor and is pun
ishable by fine, imprisonment in the
county Jail, or both. Inasmuch as the
case has, in some sort, been test case,
and the district attorneys office having
succeeded in obtaining conviction,
even when it was not denied that the ac-
cused was a pharmacist, the prosecu-
tions which are said to be under contem-
plation against the numerous bogus
physicians in this city ought to be car
ried to an issue with little difficulty
Many of these gentry are practicing
on the principal Streets and have not had
even the advantage that Allen had of
having studied pharmacy and conse-
quently possessing some knowledge of
the drugs he was administering.

DENTISTS TROUBLES.
A. F. Schiffman Sued for Back Salary
by an Employe.

There are ups and downs in the den
lists business, and c. A. Covalt seems
to imagine that he has been having an
undue portion of the downs" and is
seeking to relieve himself in the courts.
He yesterday brought suit against A.
F. Schiffman for $31S.50 and this indebt-
edness is alleged to consist of arrears of
salary and materials supplied. Covalt
claims he worked for Schiffman from
November 1st to the Sth at the rate of
SIS per week. He received S21 but the
remaining 81 has been SO elusive as to re-
slst all efforts on his part to obtain
possession of it. AS a second cause of
action he claims that during the past
two years he has supplied to Schiffman
such delicate trf1es as hypodermic
needles, alloy and other dentists SUPPLIES
valued at s145O. This debt also he can
not get liquldated.
AS third cause of action Covalt al
leges that on February 10th he was en-
ployed to do dental work in Schiffmans S
parlors, at a salary of 500 per week. and
from that date to May 25th he ofttimes
worked overtime, for which he has not
been paid. Between the dates named
he claims that he worked, at the spe-
cific request of Schiffman, seventy three
nights and twenty-siX Sundays. He
claims, as reasonable return for such
extra work So per night and the same
amount for each Sunday, making a total
of $297
