Court N otes

Roney Crane, the Calabasas tough,
charged with the murder of Mike Lor
den was arraigned in the township court
yesterday and his examination set for
May 4th.
A complaint was filed in the township
court yesterday against Charles Gotta,
the young fellow charged with having
stolen a gold headed cane, valued at 800
from Fred Arlington, who lives at 135
South Olive street, on April 18th.
The suit of Abrahams VS.. the Los An
geles Traction company, to recover s19,-
600 damages, occupied the entire day in
department six. DR.. c. B. Dixon testi-
fed that the troubles affecting the plain
tiff were not entirely owing to the acci~
dent, but that the injuries received on
Georgia Bell street had been aggravated
by syphilitic taint.
The demurrer in the case of Juan Sill
vas, charged with having committed a
rape upon the person of child at Mon

BROWN GOES UP
Maud Pierce, the Next in Line, Will
Be Tried Next

The trial of Emanuel Brown, the COL
ored man charged with the murder of
Bellew, has ended, and for the rest OF
his natural life the defendant will be
confined in the states prison.
The case went to the jury at $3.50 and
verdict was returned just one hour
later, the finding being murder in line
first degree, the jury fixing the punish
ment at life Imprisonment. There were
three ballots taken by the jury. The
first was to determine the guilt of the
defendant, and upon that point all were
unanimous; the second resulted in
eleven for life imprisonment and one for
the capital sentence; the third ballot
made the finding unanimous.
Inasmuch as Brown was the chief of
the three defendants charged with the
murder of Bellew, and he has life SEN
tence, it is reasonably certain that
neither Mand Pierce or Will Warner will
be hanged, whatever other sentence may
be imposed. On Friday next, Maud
Pierce, claimed to be the woman who
melted Brown to the crime, will be
brought to trial.

HE CHOKED' THE CHILD
A FATHER CHARGED WITH EX-
IRENE CRUELTY
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown Arrested and
Give Bonds for Their Appear
ance-Neighbor's Story

Mr.. and Mrs David Brown, who live on
Central avenue, near Twelfth street.
were arrested yesterday on a warrant
sworn out from Justice Owens court,
charging them with cruelty to their
children. When arraigned they gave
bonds for their appearance today and
were released. They are the parents Of
the unfortunate Mabel Brown, to whose
condition Humane officer Clark's atten-
ton was called a few days ago. and the
parties were placed under arrest at the
request of the officer.
Mabel is now in charge of the matron
at the city jail. She was seen yesterday
and told the story of her troubles at
home quite freely. The girl Is only Ii
years of age, yet the hardened lines on
her face would indicate that she has
seen a great deal of trouble. She said
that all her difficulties at home were the
result of her step-mother's conduct, who
tried to make life as hard for her as
ucssible. "She tells my father things on
me that are not true and then he whips
me-" said the girl. "She does this be-
cause she wants me to leave home.
1.-THE last time he whipped me was be-
cause she had told things about me that
I did not do My father knocked me
down on the floor and then choked me-"
The girl showed ner neck, which was
badly swollen and upon which the marks
were still plainly visible.
Mr., and Mrs. Brown were called upon
at their home on Central avenue to get
their statement regarding the matter.
They run a small delicacy store at the
place mentioned and occupy portion
Of the building for living purposes. Brown
is driver of engine company No. 3 OF
the fire department. He was very harsh
when speaking of his daughter. 1T Is
true that have whipped her." he said,
but it has been for her own good" He
said that he did not expect anything
from his daughter now and that he did
not believe there was any good in her.
Several of the neighbors who know
the family were seen and all were in
strong sympathy with the girl. Mrs.
Price, who lives at the corner of Twelfth
street and Central avenue, stated that
she had heard the noise of the beating
a few days ago and had heard the child
cry to her father not to choke her. Mrs.
Price said that Mabel now has brother
in the reform school, and it has been
thought that the Browns were anxious
to place Mabel in the same institution,
in order to get rid of her, She did not
regard the child as bad girl and has
often offered to adopt her.

up to have to refuse-it seemed like
throwing 81 of good money away; an un-
righteous dallying with the gift of Prov
fdence-but he had to.
Yesterday Mrs. Ella Kiky Gyorgji re-
turned to the marriage bureau annex to
the county clerks office and pitifully ex-
planned that when she obtained her di-
vorce her husband was dead. and she
showed letter from Buda Pesth to sub
stantiate her statement. 1t therein was
set forth, sure enough, that the husband
of the woman died in June, 1895, and
therefore when she was wrestling In the
court for her divorce she was really ex-
orcising herself without cause. Under
these curious circumstances she thought
the law ought to relax and permit her
to wed at once.
Mr.. Kutz was sorry but the law was
like unto the Medes and Persians, and
the best he could do was to advise her
that inasmuch as death had divorced her
the decree of divorce granted afterward
by the court must of necessity be
nullity, and the order might perhaps be
set aside If she would make proper ap-
plication.
Another odd feature of this odd case
is that previous to becoming Mrs Ella
Kiky Gyorgji she was Mrs. Ella Kiky
Schmidt, and now in dropping the
Gyorgji monstrosity she desires to revert
to Schmidt again; in other words to mar
ry her first husband.

A CHUNKY LAD
Said to Be Incorrigible Because He
Dotes on Baseball


Gilbert McIntur9 is quite likely
chunk of a boy, II years old and appar-
emily as strong as many double his age.
But he objected to hoeing weeds on his
fathers little ranch down at Covina and
much preferred to play baseball. AS
consequence the weeds grew apace and
Gilbert developed into first-rate long
stop.
The old man, however, looked upon
baseball as a vanity and his chunky son
as a misguided youth not alive to his op-
portunities, and he had the lad brought
before Judge Shaw yesterday as an In
corrigible, and asked that he be sent to
Whittier. Upon being questioned Mr.
McInturff confessed that his boy didn't
drink, didn't smoke and didn't swear.
but that he was holy terror at baseball,
and would run away from his wedding
to play the forbidden game.
But the old man got little sympathy
from the court. Judge Shaw stated that
he himself had done the same thing
thousand times, and that If doing that
was an offense he ought to have been in
the states prison long years ago. The
matter was dismissed and Gilbert will
have another turn at baseball, and Incl
dentally perhaps, crack at the weeds.

A DOG BANQUET
How a Hundred CANNES Are Fed at
One Time

To prepare meals for hundred hun
cry dogs would seem quite task to
person who suddenly found himself as
signed to that task. However, the men
who take care of the valuable canine
members of Prof. Gentry's show have it
to do each night and as some of the other
duties in connection with the care of tho
dogs require more time and labor they
think the feeding is quite light job.
The dogs lead purely scheduled life.
They are called in the morning at eX-
actly o'clock and taken out for their
exercise and put to bed promptly at II
each night. After the days work is over
and the performance is at an end the
dogs return to the cars and the most
stirring event from the dogs standpoint
takes place. They are all made to stand
at a respectful distance while prepara-
tions are made for the meal. A large
bowl filed with the choicest meat scraps
is brought forth and the contents are
poured out in long row. When the ta-
BILE is all set the dogs are called by name
to supper. The little ones are given first
chance at the delicacies and the bis
hounds are made to stand with Job-like
patience until all the rest are seated or
rather standing around the long row Of
food. They are the only members of the
company who seem to exhibit any un-
concern about getting there in time
All the dogs are allowed to eat until they
walk away from the remaining portion
Of the meal and gather in little groups
probably indulging in little after din
ner gossip or criticising a brother pro-
fessionars conduct at the show. AT the
conclusion of the meal. the entire herd
Join in drinking a toast to their attend
ant out of a bucket and are shown at

RIOT IN ROME.
A Disorderly Mob Makes Protest
Against Increased Taxes One
Killed and Several Seriously In.
iured.

Rome, October 11.-A large process
sion of tradesmen, headed by the pro-
syndic of Rome and the president of
the Chamber Of Commerce. marched to
the office of the minister Of the in
terror this afternoon to protest against
and confer with the government re-
garding the increased taxation.
Premier Rudini, who is also minis
ter of the interior, received a commit
tee representing the tradesmen, and
promised that all possible would be
done to promote friendly relations and
greater equity between the tax collec-
tors and the taxpayers.
In the meanwhile large crowd of
people had collected around the min
istry. Angry shouts were heard and
some of those present tore up paving
stones and otherwise assumed threat
ening attitude. This caused the police
to make an attempt to dispense the
violent portion of the crowd and in the
conflict which followed, six policemen
were injured and one rioter was
killed.
The mob raised revolutionary cries.
While the fighting was in progress re-
volvers were freely used Many per-
sons in the crowd were injured, and
twenty of the leaders of the disturb
ance were arrested. The condition of
three of the wounded policemen is
serious.
Nidnight-The streets have been
quiet evening. A special detail of po-
lice is patroling the district that was
the scene OF the disturbance. In all
there have been twenty-four arrests.
The rioter who was killed has not yet
been identified. but appears to have
