NOW LOOK OUT FOR
DANGEROUS DELAYS
CHINESE FISHERMEN EACH RE
LEASED ON A 500 BOND.
Attorney Quinn Wants to Postpone
the Trial Until He Has Time to
elk" Matters Up.

All Sen, All Vow, All Hee, All Sing and
All TT, the Chinese fishermen who were
arrested Thursday in San Pablo Bay by
Constable Creed of Marin County for ille-
gal fishing. were allowed bail by Justice
Bellrude of Sausalito yesterday after
noon at 500 each The bail was furnished
by John ]. Quinn of San Francisco, at
torney for the defendants, and Young
Sing of the firm of Quong Lee Chung &
Co., by whom the fishermen were en-
ployed The five Cinnamon were taken
from .Tiburon yesterday morning TO Sau-
salito by Constable Greed.
Attorney Quinn, accompanied by Young
Sing. went to Sausalito yesterday after
noon at O'Clock prepared to furnish
bonds When Justice Bellrude fixed the
sum at 500 each, he quickly drew up the
bonds and endeayored to have them ac-
cepted at once, but the Justice insisted
ON awaiting the arrival OF District At
torney McIsaac. When the District At
torney came he demanded that local
bondsman be furnished. This Quinn said
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-03-04

he was unable to do, and seemed to be
nettled that his bond and that of Young
Sing was not acceptable. The matter
was finally adjusted by Justice Bellrude
accepting the bonds, with an additional
cash bond of SIS, which was furnished by
Attorney Quinn. The case was set for
trial on Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock
Attorney Quinn attempted to secure
more time and wanted the case set for
next Saturday. Constable Creed says he
was approached b. Quinn as soon as he
reached Sausalito, and that Quinn said to
Get the case put off until week from
Saturday. By that time the papers will
let up and we can get this matter fixed
up"
License Collector John H. Davis of the
Board of Fish Commissioners was in
Sausalito yesterday and his attention was
called to the fact that the captured Junk
Of the Cinnamon had no tag on its stern
displaying the number of the license. as
is required. He Immediately swore out
warrant against the captain of the crew
for not having license. The law reads
that when the number of the license is
not displayed on each side of the stern
of the boat, the license granted By the
Fish Commissioners is to be forfeited
There is very little chance of the case
being tried Tuesday, as Attorney Quinn
fntimated to the court that he would
probably want a further continuance at
that time.

her attorney. f. F. Bert, file her suit for
separation from the fictitious Count who
duped her into marriage just a year ago.
The complaint will merely charge the
fraudulent nobleman with desertion and
failure to provide; but behind these SIM
pie charges is a, romance the history Of
which has already been told in these col

Lawczynski arrived in this city during
the early part of last year, and lived a
hand-to-mouth existence. He assumed the
title of Count, and was known to the
habitues of a downtown music-hall by
that Understanding appellation. He man

Fabry, the complainant, who was the
widow of the well-known merchant of
that name. who was accidentally asphyxi-

her to be possessed of a large sum of
money left her and her son by her first
husband and he paid ardent court and
won her. Two weeks after their engage

MRS. GERTIE REED, the sweet
MI heart of Policeman James Nc
IEl Gowan, had a quarrel with that
individual last Thursday night,
and because he did not rejoin her at
the appointed rendezvous she took a
room in the lodging house at 30S Suffer
street, turned on both gas jets and
killed herself.
Her body was in the Morgue before
her sisters knew of her untimely end,
and when they arrived at the Coroner's
office, just before the beginning of the
inquest yesterday morning. they filed
the air with their lamentations.
The testimony at the inquest showed
that the woman might have been re-
suscitated had a physician been sent
with the Doctors Daughters ambu-
lance, but Chief of Police Lees, who
has charge of the ambulance. evidently
does not think that a doctor need be
sent with the vehicle. for, as everybody
knows, a person injured mortally is al

bed at o'clock yesterday morning, ap-
parently dead, La Coste assisted in re-
moving the body from the room, which
was then filled with the fumes of es-
Gaping gas. He placed his ear to The
womans heart and could detect a faint
f1uttering of that organ. Her flesh was
warm. and even feverishly so. and
when he appealed to the four
policemen in attendance TO bring d
