THRBE INSANE PATIENTS.
A Whittier Girl Whose Only Insane
Characteristic Is Bad Temper.

An old fellow who was arrested some
days ago and booked as John Doe God
was before Judge Shaw yesterday for
examination as to his sanity. He imag-
ines he is in very truth the Almighty,
and suspended to rope encircling his
neck he carries the bottom portion of
huge glass bottle, which he uses as
a magnlfying glass to examine the work
of his hands. The patient is apparently
harmless, and stated that his name at
one time was Gustav KortZkoff. He is
German by birth, and is 5S years of age.
He has been under confinement here
tofore in Indiana and Minnesota, and
was found a week ago wandering aim
lessly about at Redondo. He was COM
mitted to Highland asylum.

old inmate of the girls department. at

that the girl has most Internal temper,
and when under the spell kicks and
fights with the ferocity of a wild cat.

sons to hold her and the powers that

A TANGLED PARTNERSHIP.
A Case Fought Out at Length at Heavy
Expense and a Sale Ordered.

The suit of Bobst VS.. Leslie again was
up in department four yesterday before
Judge Van Dyke.
The case has been very much tangled
up, albeit the amount of difference that
it took all Of yesterday to straighten
out did not amount to much over a
nominal sum. But despite the fact that
the amount at stake has been insignifi-
cant, a close fight has been made, and
while Messrs Leslie, Hewitt and How
Ian have carried on the fight for the
plaintiff, the law firm of Guthrie & Guth-
rie have also done yeoman's service for
the defense Three days were taken up

The plaintiff and defendant were in
partnership carrying on business in OIL
etc, and when differences arose a re-
ceiver was appointed. The wife of the
defendant, it appeared. brought up a
claim of Luitweiler e. Co., which stood
aslien against the partnership property,
and proceeded to take possession of GER
tain effects to satisfy the claim. The re-
ceiver maintained that Mrs. Leslie has
taken away more than she was entitled
to- but after the counsel had exhausted
themselves yesterday, the case was
closed, for Judge Van Dyke had insisted
beforehand that 1t must close yesterday.

urer Fleming's Bond-Notes.

A somewhat curious suit has come up
again for retrial in department three,
and Judge Allen is sitting in place Of
Judge York. who passed upon the case
upon the first trial in April. 1895.
The suit is that of P. Levreau against
H. Clary, and while the case in its essen
tial features presents little that is differ
ent from other foreclosure suits, there
is a spice of interest impaired to it by
the fact that a receipt for $1,000 Is con-
tended for the defendant which the
plaintiff pronounces to be a forgery.
1t appears that on December %, 1893,
both parties entered into an agreement
by which plaintiff stipulated to sell lot
at Redondo Beach for $1,000, the amount
to be paid IN installments at times set
forth In the agreement. After having
paid a certain amount of the principal
and interest the defendant defaulted,
and the plaintiff exercised his privilege
Of declaring the entire amount Of bal
ance to be due. This sum, according to
plaintiff. was $1,000, but according to de-
fendant it was only $500. AS might be
imagined, when such direct and i'm
W
made to the courts
Upon the case coming to trial a ver-
dict was returned in favor of the de-
fendant, but the court granted new
trial on the ground that the verdict was
not sustained by the evidence, and now
the case is up again and is, by agree
ment, being tried by eight Jurors.
The difference between the amount
claimed by plaintiff and that alleged to
be due by the defendant $1,000, was, de-
fendant claims, paid to plaintiff subject
to discount of 5000 on account of pre-
mature payment and he shows receipt
for the $1,000 as evidence. The plaintiff,
however asserts with equal persistence
that he never received one cent Of that
$1,000 and knows nothing about it. The
theory of the plaintiffs counsel appears
to be that their clients signature was
obtained surreptitiousqy, and the body
of the receipt filled in above the sigma
ture.
Sheldon Borden and Edgar E. Lefevre
are representing the plaintiff and Judge
Mckinley and H. c. Dillon, the defend
ant.

PosTOFFICE NOTES.
Bids For the Improvements in the Fed
eral Building Now In Washington.

Slowly but surely the scheme for i'm
proving the facilities of the postohce IS
maturing, and it Is reasonably certain
that in the near, if not the immediate,
future the contract for the work will be
let
The amount of the appropriation, only
amounting to $12, 2,0o0 has not permitted
any radical changes in the federal build
ing, and General Matthews has also had
to encounter the red-tapism which ap-
pears to be distinctive of departmental
matters at Washington. 1t was IN
tended that an additional wing be added
on to the present building, upon the va
cant space facing on Main street, but 1t
was found that such a plan would con-
f1ict with the fire provisions regulating
all government edifices, and which re-
ouires that they shall be separated from
adjacent buildings bysG many feet. The
late plans drawn and submitted to the
Washington authorities are for utilizing
the basement Of the present building.
and also building an annex in the rear
as an extension to the postoffice depart
ment. Bids on these plans and specif1ca-
tions have been put in, and must have
reached Washington yesterday. Max
ing due allowance for delays, there is
every reason to suppose that the con-
tract will very shortly be awarded and
work at once commenced.
Some time during the month of March
the national organization of postal
clerks will have an excursion to the
Pacific coast, and preparations are now
being made to make the visit to South
ern California pleasant and enjoyable to
the visitors. Yesterday General
Matthews, Postal Inspector H. S. Flint,
H. Holland and others were in confer
ence with the committee that has been
appointed for the purpose, discussing
details of the plans for receiving the
three hundred delegates upon their ar
rival in the city.

DISTRIBUTED DODGERS
Even Revival Handbills Are Interdicted

r. w. Hodgkins, one of the members

rested for violating an ordinance by dis
tributing handbills on Main street and
had his hearing before Police Justice
Owens yesterday The defendant ex-

thought in compliance with a request
that all Peniel Hall people do their best
to notify people of the revival meetings
now being held in that place. He thought
by distributing advertising handbills he
was doing the proper thing.
Justice Owens said that he appreciated
the defendants position, but the ordi-
nance must be enforced, and he accord
ingly imposed upon the defendant fine
of So, with no alternative saying he
would issue no commitment. The Pen

AFFLICTED WITH KLEPToMANIA.
Alfred GaEardo Stole Redhot Stove
and Now Goes to Highland.

ALFRED Gallardo suffers from klepto-
mania in an acute form. His hands in
voluntarily seize upon things that are
not his, and he is continually finding
things before they are declared lost
This uncomfortable habit has been the
means of landing Gallardo in Jail fire.
quently, for, being quite poor, his COM
plant has heretofore always been dag
nosed as a case of straight theft, with
out any frills or other qualifications.
Some time ago he was convicted of
stealing a pair of lines from a harness
dealer and served his sentence. Recent
ly, when arrested for stealing a pair of
shoes, the offense was raised to the dig
nifty of a felony by reason Of the prior
conviction.
When the case was called yesterday in
department one, Gallardo's counsel, A.
A. Montana, esq.,, interposed the plea of
his clients insanity, and jury was
at once empaneled to pass upon the
mental condition of the defendant as
preliminary to his trial proper. Testi-
mony was taken and ]. M. Brooks, j. A.
Bilderine, H. H. Appel and DR.. Brain
ard, all gave it as their opinion that Gal
lardo was non compos mentis, or, in
other words, is flighty and mentally un-
sound.
The jury on retiring had little difficult
ty arriving at conclusion. 1t does not
need insanity experts to show that a
man who would steal a pair of shoes,
each being a different size, and who
actually stole a red-hot stove from his
fathers house, carrying it on his back
with the Goals sizzling inside of it and
sold it for ten cents, was more fitting
candidate for Highlands asylum than
for the state penitentiary.
Judge Smith ordered that the half
witted defendant be committed to the
asylum at Highlands and upon his cure
being effected be remanded to the GUS
tody of the sheriff.

"A CoLoRED PHILOSOPHER.
Tells the Court What He Thinks and
Gets a Year for His Trouble.

d. Flowers is colored gentleman and
a philosopher.
He was brought before Judge Smith
yesterday and pleaded guilty. to the
charge of petty larceny. with prior
conviction for q similar offense.
Not, apparently. being familiar with
the legal form, he expressed some sur
prise when the court asked him IL he
pleaded guilty to his previous convic-
ton. and after some hesitation remark
ed. as if in protest at the court taking
advantage of it's knowledge of his pre-
vious peccadillo: "Yes, jedge, but I've
served my time for that"
With kindlness of manner the court
explained to the defendant that, having
been previously convicted of petit lar
ceny. the two cases together made the
offence one of felony. adding somewhat {
commiseratingly, its very unfortu-
nat for you, Mr.. Flowers, very unrortu-
nate, indeed" :.
"I think it's very fortunate, jedge,"
modestly retorted Mr.. Flowers, putune

court, not believing the judicial ears.
He says that he thinks 1t very ror-
tlInate in his present condition." vol
unteered Deputy District Attorney MO
Comas, who, in his accustomed manner,
stood as a good angel of Intervention be-
side the defendant.
The philosophical equanimity OF Flow
ers seemed to puzzle the court. you
think then" said Judge Smith, leaning
over in an interested attitude as he
propounded the inquiry, that as things
are with you stealing is virtue; is that
it?"
Yes, tedge." replied Flowers un-
abashed.
well, the court doesn't recognize
that kind of thing, and you Will go Tor
one year to Folsom" and the court
frowned upon the defendant, who was
altogether too resigned to the circum-
STANCES that enVironed him.

THE WIFE'S MONEY.
DR.. Brown Figures in Court in Supple
mental Proceedings.

Some time ago, Mrs. I. A. Kimball OBJ
tanned a judgment against Dr. j. s
Brown for $3.50 in connection with a real
estate transaction. The judgment was
not satisfied and DR.. Brown was before
Judge Van Dyke yesterday upon sup
Elemental proceedings to ascertain the
extent of his resources.
Mrs. Kimball appeared to have a
grievance, however, for she thought he
had been using some money which, in
her opinion, should have been used to
liquidate the judgment. This amount
of $500 the doctor admitted having ex-
pended, but contended that although
banked in his name it belonged to his
wife, and was her separate property.
The citation was dismissed, but the
court granted an order making Mrs.
Brown party defendant so that the
claim put forward as to the money be-
ing her separate property might be prop
erly investigated.
