WITH THE HEARTACHE

A Chlnsman's Definition Of the Consumption
Affecting Wong Look
A forlorn and utterly miserable looking
Chinaman answering to the name of Wong
Look Withdrew his plea Of not guilty to
the charge of grand larceny, and pleaded
guilty in department one yesterday.
The picture of woe. Wong Look kept his
eyes downcast while Assistant District At
torney Williams tried to explain to Judge
Smith that the Celestial defendant was far
gone in consumption and that was the rea-
son he looked so painfully depressed. The
court was not altogether satisfied and
questioned the interpreter.
Chang is we'll known about the courts
and politely told Judge Smith that he had
been informed that Wong Look had the
heartache. The description of the defend
ants ailment as given by Chang appeared
go appropriate that it was thought that the
court might lean towards mercy. Judge
Smith was not in q compassionate mood,
however, and sent heart-aching Wong
Look to San Quentin for three years.
The charge to which he pleaded guilty
was grabbing the watch of one Wilson, q
resident Of San Pedro, as the latter was
coming from an unsavory spot in China
town. The stolen property was found later
slowed securely away in defendants hat.

The Plaintiff Makes a Lengthy
Deposition
TWO HIGHWAY TOURISTS
Argument for a New Trial ia the Lawn
Perjury Case
A Chinaman With the Heartache- Dlmin.
ishing Gassagne Estate
College Campus

Miss Lillian A. Ashley, who is suing
Lucky. Baldwin to recover heavy dam
ages for seduction and breach of promise
of marriage, has made very lengthy de-
position that will make very interesting
reading when the case comes to bar.
On Monday morning last the fair plain
tiff appeared in the Office of Charles Udell,
esq.,, attorney and notary public, in the
Bradbury block, and was subjected to
long, searching and exhaustive examina-
ton by Henry Z. Highton, ESQ.,, of San
Francisco, who represented the defendant.
The examination was concluded on
Wednesday night at 10 o'clock, after the
entire acquaintance between Miss Ashley
and Lucky" Baldwin had been traversed.
While counsel on either side refuse to
outrage professional etiquette SO far as to
divulge the testimony ELECTED, 1t Is not de-
MED that very much of it is of a highly inn
tute of sensational features. From the
time when the acquaintance was first
formed until the time when friendship
ripened into an affection of very decided
kind-at least SO far as the plaintiff was
commemorative fullest details were ex-
torted from Miss Ashley and amplified un-
der the cross-examination of her own
counsel. A large number. OF letters that
passed between the parties were intro
duced and identified, thus saving much
time and labor when the case comes to
trial.
The manner in which Miss Ashley be-
came acquainted with her ancient and
amoroUs admirer and her conduct toward
him at that time is made unusually inn
portant by the very original defense set up
by Mr.. Baldwin in his answer to the COM
plant. Concisely put, it was to the effect
that as his reputation, SO far as women
as Miss Ashley knew of his idiosyncrasy
for becoming involved in difficulties with
women, she, by permitting the acquaint-
ance to continue, relieved the defendant of
any liability of being charged with out
raging the innocence of conf1ding girl.
In other words, as she in common with
other women must have known about
"Lucky" Baldwin's peccadillos, she
sought and continued the acquaintance
with him at her own risk.
The plain iff was examined closely re-
garding the manner in which she became
acquainted with "Lucky" Baldwin and her
mated in the trouble which has formed the
basis for the present action.
Yesterday afternoon Attorney Highton
returned to San Francisco we'll satisfied
ith the result of his work while here. The
deposition of Miss Ashley was securely
sealed and will be deposited in the arch
ives of the court only TO be opened when
the case is called about a month hence.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Baldwin has on pre-
vious and similar occasions taken the
stand of any ordinary citizen and has gem
orally been mulcted for damages, the
present case is being watched with curious

The supreme court has handed down q

The 0assagne Hinors Hunting for the Money

The matter OF the guardianship accounts
of the Gassagne children promises to be
almost as fruitful of contention as the
Leonis estate. Yesterday the matter was
before Judge Clark and there was hot
cross-hre of words between opposing coun-
sci over the account fled some time ago.
''French'' Charley was we'll known
character in Los Angeles at one time, and
1t is the estate which he left. and which was
valued at $40 900, that is now being fought
over. When "French'' Charley died his
widow married Mr.. Weber of San Fran
cisco, and James Larquier, who admins
trated the estate, appears to have attended
to his duty rather loosely. He invested the
moneys of the estate with and as his own,
and neglected to file any report since 1891
until this current year, when the eldest girl
became Of age and an accounting was nec-
essary.
This afternoon an attempt will be made
to unravel the problem as to where the
moneys of the estate have gone to, there
being but $4074.72 at present in sight.

were held to answer in the superior court,

A Duarte Rancher That Objects to Having
His Water Supply Cut Off
A case which will probably occupy the
attention of Judge Mckinley and jury for
several days ia the suit of A. G. Thomson
vs. the Duarte Mutual Irrigation and Canal
company.
The plaintiff owns twenty acres of fruit
land at Duarte, and across this tract runs
the water main of the defendant corpora
ton. For ten years he claims that he has
used the water for Domestic and irrigation
purposes, but in September of last year the
canal company severed the plaintiffs pipe
connecting with the main, and cemented up
the aperture, thus shutting off the water sup
ply and causing damage to the amount of
$500. The present suit was brought to en-
join the defendants from preventing the
plaintiff from again connecting his private
pipe with the company's water main.
L, H. Boden and others figure in the
suit as plaintiffs in intervention, but the
main point at issue is as above stated.

New Suits


George M. Bobst va. Charles c. L. Leslie.
In November, 1905, the plaintiff was
owner of we'll boring outfit and other
effects, and entered into partnership with
the defendant, the latter to put up $1,000
as his contribution to the partnership, and
an indebtedness of $565 on the we'll Dor.
ing outfit to be jointly borne. A lot in the
Park tract was purchased for $500, upon
which 5000 was paid, and the lot was con-
%eyed to Mrs. e. L. Leslie. wife of defend
ant, in trust for the partnership.
The firm sank an oil we'll on the lot in
question and put in a casing at an expense
of $3.50, when fair flow of oil was de-
veloped. In January, 1896, the defend
ant caused the work to be stopped, and. it
is claimed, that in collusion with his wife
claimed to have purchased the outstanding
indebtedness of the partnership.
The present suit has been brought to
dissolve the partnership and a receiver ap-
pointed; to restrain the defendant from in
terfering with the partnership property,
and for such other relief as may be proper.
