In his big-hearted way Nagle has given

Young divorcee that wore his ring. he
has taken the same fair lady to the doc

with her. and in a burst Of admlring
frenzy has even fallen upon his knees
in the middle Of the roadside and with
hands outstretched TO the starry heavens
above proclaimed that he loved Nellie
Rodgers and would die for Nellie Rodgers.
All these many delightful attributes OF
the we'll known friend of the notorious
Rev C. O. Brown were brought out be-
fore Judge Mogan in Police Court De-
partment No. l yesterday in the case OF
Mrs Nellie Rodgers. who IS charged by
Nagle with felonious embezzlement and
accused Of having in her possession a

According to Nagle's story and the
witnesses who testified in his behalf the
ring In dispute was obtained by the defend
ant from the complainant ostensibly for

for Mr. Nagle, he browsed far away from

power to perpetuate the racing evil
On the contrary, liquor dealers have
been among the most enthusiastic in
dorsers of the Supervisors in the pres
ent campaign. These merchants have
the same reason for condemning Ingle-
side and its methods as have other de-
cent members of the community.
They have gone personally to the
members of the Board Of Supervisors
to encourage them in the stand they
have taken. Representatives of every
decent element in the city have done
the same for the adoption of the law,
which has been passed to print, means
much to the people of San Francisco.
On every hand the Supervisors have
been congratulated for what they have
done, In demonstrating themselves to
be proof against the corruption of the
gamblers the Supervisors have earned
a tribute which has been gladly given.
But the greatest fight of the cam
paign is yet to be lost or Won The
Ingleside schemers boast that they have
power to corrupt the Supervisors and
either destroy or modify into practical
worthlessness the new ordinance. No
one except the gamblers accepts this
boast as the truth. The Supervisors
have taken a determined stand and
there is absolutely nothing to justify
even the suggestion Of a suspicion that
the members of the board will hesitate
in their crusade after they have gone
so far on the road of good government
and public morals.
The gamblers are simply boasting
that they have already found authori-
ties of this city susceptible to corrup-
tion and the thieving game of the race
course is far too valuable to be aban-
doned without an effort, The Super
visors are therefore on their guard
against the track schemers. The plan

she had been on picnics and that Harry R.
Fee was her young man"
Miss Nettie Kip of SIS McAllister street
testified that Mrs. Rodgers had shown her
the ring and said It was the pledge Of her
betrothal to Nagle, and Harry r. Fee
offered testimony to the same effect.
John Luft, a grocer, told how he had
acted as the Nagle Mercury and had
called Mrs. Rodgers to the phone in his
store to receive messages from the attor-
ney. Mrs. Rodgers showed me the ring
and said she was to marry Nagle,' said
Luft.
On Saturday morning the witnesses in
rebuttal will be examined. A spicy bit of
evidence to be offered is the two following
letters from Mrs. Rodgers to the man to
whom she claims she was engaged:
