GREGORY DISCHARGED.
Justice Henry Does Not Find Any
Ground for Charging Fraud.

The attorneys in the case of Mrs
Bruce B. Lee against Eugene Gregory
finished their arguments yesterday
morning, and Justice Henry stated that
he would announce his opinion in the
afternoon, \. J. Bruner, Gregory's
counsel, having moved that he be dis
charged, while Assistant District At
torney ]. Charles Jones asked that he
be held to answer before the Superior
Court
In the afternoon Justice Henry gave
his decision. saying that he had ar
rived at a conclusion that was salts
factory to himself, and that he be
Heved was in accordance with the law
and the evidence 1t was to be re-
sretted that Mrs. Lee had lost her
money, and it was the duty of the de-
fendant, in his opinion, to pay her all
the sums claimed by her. He thought
she had been ill-advised in this pro-
ceeding, and he had failed to find suf
ficient ground TO prove that any fraud
had been practiced. He had. therefore,
decided to grant the motion to dis
charge the defendant and would make
an order to that effect. He also exoner-
ated his bOndsmen.

one. That was at once his misfortune
and his charm. The list Of his virtues,
If drawn up by a prudent person, would
be short, and that of his faults very
long. He was not an example to youth,
and viewed as a citizen he had no mer-
its. But he met the world with light
heart and an embracing cordiality.
And the world responded It did not do
much for him in a material way, for
that was beyond anybodys power, but
it returned his good will. Life was a
revel in Bigelow's philosophy, and he
reveled resolutely to the end. Nothing
could depress him-not the sufferings OF
others or his own; neither ill-health nor
poverty. His gayety Of heart was not
an requirement or a pose. but innate
He had no more notion Of responsible
ity, no more morals, than a BIRD.

the same in heart, mind and manner.

life, but preferred the fun Of the mo-
ment. Such a Bohemian, it is unneces-
sary to say, Jared upon respectable
sensibilities. He was expelled from the
Bohemian Club for non-payment of
dues, and no doubt it served him right.
He said so himself, and was glad of it,
for the club bored him, as it did Tav-
ernier, the artist, who was also expelled
for the same cause, though the Bone
mian Club has erected a monument
over that grave of genius down in trop-
ical Honolulu. Bigelow enjoyed life
often under conditions that would have
been misery to other men; and he died
at the hospital, not without friends,
brave and debonair to the last.

HIS FAMILY DESTITUTE.
John Lawson Charged With EmbeZ-
Zling the FOreSters' Funds.

Herman Fisher yesterday sWOre to a
complaint charging John Lawson with
the crime of petit embezzlement, and
Officers Douglas and Brissel soon sue
ceeded in landing their man.
Lawson has been janitor of the For
eslters' building on l street for a long
time, and handled considerable of the
funds of the institution. Everything
went along smoothly until Christmas
time of last year, when deficit was
found, for which there was no account
ing. Suspicion pointed toward Lawson,
who was at the time on a protracted
spree, but no evidence could be secured
sufficient for conviction and the matter
was dropped.
But few days ago Lawson went on
another drunk, and again some Of the
funds disappeared, but the officers Of
the society had sufficient knowledge
Of the case to warrant the arrest of the
janitor.
Officer Douglas says that Lawson ad-
mitted to him that he had taken the
money, and that Deer had caused him
to do so. He had expected to pay it
back out Of his salary, which was $40
a month.
Lawson's family consists of wife,
four children and his mother-in-law,
which is said to be in destitute circum-
stances. When arrested he had 81 on
his person, which he requested be sent
to his wife, which was done. Officer
Douglas is authority for the statement
that there was no wood in the Lawson
house wherewith to build fire, and
nothing to cook if fire were built

Phrenology teaches the true system of

thereby how to govern and manage
them correctly; to what motives or fac

what desires to restrain, and what to
call into action; teaches us our fellow
