ceedings in Which Hutchinson
Is Charged With Ut
tering Libel.



sos Broadway, Sept. s.
Judge Ogden to-day granted a divorce
to Gertrude Jones from Ernest Norwood
Jones on the ground of infidelty at the
same time awarding plaintiff custody of
the two minor children, all of the prop
erty and $50 per month alimony for the
support of herself and children The
defendant is permitted to visit the chill
dren at such times as may be convenient
to plaintiff. The parties were married in
San Francisco April 3, 1884
Indirectly the case has some connection
with the disbarment proceedings brought
by Attorneys Henry n. Beatty and
George H. Francoeur against Attorney
Joseph Hutchinson, which was resumed
in Judge Halls court this morning Hut
Crimson having acted as Mrs. Jones at
torney in the suit of Francoeur against
Mrs. Jones for the recovery of $500 on a
promissory note given in payment as at
torney's fees.
The petitioners for Hutchinson's dis
barment allege that the latter in the
answer to the suit on the note made
statements which he knew to be scan
dalous and libelous regarding them.
Henry Beatty was on the stand to-day,
and his testimony in the main was a de-
NAL of the charges made by Hutchinson
as attorney for Mrs. Jones in the suit
brought by F'rancoeur to recover attor-
neyS fees for the defense of Jack How
ara Wnen the last mentioned was under
charge Of murder in the celebrated Anne
Johnson case, in connection with which
case z, N. Jones name had been mention
ed. Beatty admitted that he had paid
Howard $40 per week for several months
on behalf of Jones, and that after the
murder trial Francoeur had paid Jack
Howard and Hulda Johnson $75 as a pres
ent. 1t was shown that Beatty and
Francoeur had been retained to defend
Hulda Johnson and Jack Howard, evil
IDENTIFY at the solicitation of Jones.
Witness Beatty asserted that he had
never told Jones. that money would be re-
CURED in order to keep the papers from
publishing the details of the Johnson
murder and he had never represented to
Mrs. Jones that. there was any fear of her
husbands arrest at any time Hutchin-
son had told Mrs. Jones this. Witness
for money, but said that Jones told him
that Mrs. Johnson was after money.
Beatty was asked how much money he
received in the defense of the case, and
he replied $1191, of which he retained $3.50,
the rest being paid over to other claim
for long time. but had read in to-day's
papers OF his arrest in the East on
felony charge.
Mrs. Jones was also on the stand to-
day testifying that her husband was out of
this State since last February; that she
answer in the Francoeur suit was brought
to her for her signature.
The petitioners claim to be able to
prove that Mrs. Jones was never consult
ed regarding a defense to the note suit
until after answer was served on her;
and acknowledged to the scandalous al
legations in the answer.
Further hearing in the motion went
over until Tuesday morning at 10, o'clock

Berkeley grocers are lamenting a swim
die operated upon them this morning by
two agents selling cheese. The men were
altogether unknown in this vicinity, but
their affable manners charmed away all
suspicion They found ready sales
throughout the town. But one or two
of the dealers on weighing their goods
found them to be several pounds under
weight. 1t was then discovered that ev-
cry grocer who had purchased of the
strangers had been swindled. The bills
made out for each sale all bear the head

WANTS HIS PRESENT BACK.
Francisco Rossi Brings Suit to Re-
cover a Wedding Gift to His
Dauphter

Francisco Rossi brought suit against
his former son-in-law, Carlo Barabino,
and Barabino's divorced wife, Maria, Ros-
sis daughter, in Justice Kerrigans court
yesterday to recover $3.50 which he had
given to the young couple in order to IA
cilltate their wedding several years ago.
Not long ago the wife secured divorce
from Barabino, whereupon Rossi was
wroth and determined to recover the we'd
ding dowry In the courts.
Barabino testified that the father of the
bride had offered him $1,000 to marry his
daughter, but had only paid $780, This
the father denied. The Justice continued
the case, so as to have time to determine
whether a cash bridal present can be re-
covered by the father of the bride when
divorce occurs.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.
Furnished by the Associated Press to
the State Journal

Ch1caSO, Jan. IL.
WHEAT-Wheat opened quiet and easy
today at 9O1sQ9014c for May, decline of
4G9sc from yesterdays final figures.
The decline was partly due to the weak
ness which developed on yesterdays curb
and partly to an opening decline of 9sga4d
at Liverpool. Chicago receipts were lib
eral. 100 cars. The market soon recov-
cred from the opening depression. Room
traders in general and brokers supposed
to be acting for the Letter interests were
fair buyers from the start, and also Of
ferings were surprisingly light. The
market became quite firm, May advancing
to 9O5sc. Outside of the English cables,
news rather favored higher prices. Rain
was badly needed in California. French
stocks were reported at only 100000
! bushels against two and a half millions
a year ago, this being due, it was said. to
the fact that traders feared the reduc-
ton of the French duties and letting their
stocks run down in consequence. North
western receipts were 37S cars, against 405
cars last week and $50 cars a year ago.
Late Liverpool cables showed some
covery from the early decline.
CORN-Corn was duh. Heavy receipts.
500 cars, affected prices momentarily, but
the market became firm with wheat. May
opened unchanged at zee and sold a shade
higher at 291sc.
OATS-Oats followed corn and wheat,
opening easier, but soon recovering. The
trade was light. Receipts, 375 cars. May
opened a shade lower at 1895 4231kc and ad-
vanced to 231ed239sc-
VISIONS-Provisions opened easier
on the weaker tone of the live stock mar
ket A fair demand from packers and
little outside buying caused a frmer feel
ing May pork opened sc lower al s9.271s
and advanced to $685. May lard opened
unchanged at s4.771k and advanced to $3.50.
May ribs opened PIC lower at $4.65 and
