All were negro men with the exception
of one white woman, Emma DeLoach,
sentenced from the police courta few
days since for drunkenness The rain
pelted down in torrenCs as the gang pass

attention by her miserable condition.

was bareheaded, and the exposure ap-
peared rather severe even for a convict

WHAT HE WAS CHARGED wIrH.s

The fame of former Governor Peck as
humorist is so far abroad hat people
no longer expect him to have the temer-
lty to appear at dinner or to make an
address without a series of Incidents and
pthy personal experiences at his COM
mand. The funny part is that he does
not in the least consider himself story
teller, and really very seldom repeats a
story What he tells are things that
really happened to him, and which his
inimitable fashion of seeing and tell ng
j make irTesistbly funny. There is one
story, however, which he has liked to
repeat outside his own experience.
Sand have told it,h he says frankly,
''until the family says, For heaven S
sake don't ever tell that story again, but
it has struck me as one of the funniest
that haVe ever heard. l know every
body has heard it by this time, so |
| don't dare tell it any more, much as
would like to-" The story is this:
There was man on trial once whose
name was Smith, and who stammmered
most terribly. The first thing the judge
| did was to ask him his name. TIL mar
l did his best.
+ S-sss-s-s sss-ss-' he began obediently
"'Why, stop making noise like
that, said the Judge. We can't allow
that. Give me your name
'S-sss-ssssss.s-s IS" sputtered the man
earnestly.
"Heavensr said the Judge. Sir he
continued, turning to an Irish police
man who had brought the man in, 'What
is the man charged with?
i should think, yer honor, returned
the officer soberly, that he is charged

SATURDAY BASEBALL.
There Will be Games Here by the
California League Clubs.

On Saturday afternoon, next, the
California Baseball League will inaug-

Park. There has been quite demand
for Weekday games for some time, and
the new league is the first to step in
and undertake the experiment
The Sacramentos and Oakland Reli-
ance clubs will be the contesitng teams,
and it is unnecessary to say that a
splendid game may he expected. The
fReliance Club has been greatly
strengthened this season by the cream
OF the Alerts, and it is putting up very
strong game. The Sacramentos viii
be about the same as in last Sunday s
game, with the possible exception OF

Manager Newbert has decided to
make this inaugural of week day games

admitting any school child under six

LEROY CONVICTED.
The Jury Were Out Only a Very
Short Time.

District Attorney Ryan made the
closing argument yesterday forenoon
in the Leroy robbery case, and it was
given to the jury at noon.
He was preceded by r. M. Clarken,
for the defense. who made very earn
est, strong and ingenious argument in
defense of the prisoner. Mr.. Clarken
was appointed by the court at the out
set to defend Leroy, and he made a
close study of the case, which led him
to the firm belief that it was Searight,
and not Leroy, who robbed and beat
the japanese, Honda
In his closing argument, Mr.. Clarken
analyzed the evidence quite thoroughly
and presented this theory of the case to
the jury in a very strong light. He
spoke from 8 o'clock till 11:30.
The jury were out only a very short
time, took but one ballot, and re-
turned to court with a verdict of guilty
as charged.
Leroy made an effort to preserve his
customary calmness, but it was easy
to see that he was considerably agi-
tated, for the verdict meant a long
term in the State Prison.
After being returned to the Jail he
held a long conference with his father,
presumably on the subject of appealing
the case to the Supreme Court, but the
result of the conference was not made
known.
Leroy will receive his sentence on
