In the Police court yesterday morning
Shikushigay was charged with having
committed assault and battery on Mrs.
c. NJ White, his employer, by thrusting
her against a fence with his hands.
Complainant testified that on Saturday
last she told the man with the curly
house. whereupon he became incensed,
and committed the assault. Mrs. White
said that never in her life had she seen
such an angry man When she struck
the fence the shock to- her nerves was
so great that she partially lost her
senses. The man, she feared, would kill
her and his irate manner towards her
caused her to shudder.
Complainant appeared to- be very much
wrought up on the winess-stand, at
times about to the verge of the hysteri-
cal.
The prosecuting witness swore that
during the trouble defendant kept on
saying money, money money but stat
ed that she did not know what he
meant. Defendant and his wife were
paid 81 a week for their labors.
What bad language did he use?''
queried Attorney Long, who appeared
for the defense.
We'll he said - -, was the
answer Il guess you know what that
means"
Mrs. Hoogs, a neighbor o. complain
ants was the next witness. She said
that she also had never seen a man in
such rage as defendant was when he
crowded Mrs. White against the fence.
when / went over to see what the
trouble was all about, defendant told
me to go to hot place, testified Mrs.
Hoogs. He was fiourishing a pair OF
socks" she added.
| Was there anything in the toes of the
socks?' asked His Honor
d! Witness didn't think that there was.
| Mrs. Shikushigay stated that Mrs
White tried to drive her husband away
with a broom because he refused to dc
some hard work Her husband never
laid his hands upon complainant, she
said.
Defendant testified that he had to work
from a. m. until s p. m. for $3.50 a
week. A child of his, he said, suffered
from sore eyes, and he asked for q
weeks vacation in which to properly
care for his baby On Saturday morn
ing Mrs. White told him to water the
plants in the dollhouse, but as he had
been working hard since O'Clock AND
wanted to take his child down to the
doctors, he refused to obey instructions
at the same time asking for certain
wages due him.
Then, witness testified, Mrs. White tolt
him to get out and tried to drive him
| away with a broom, saying that she
would pay him nothing. On hearing this
witness told her that he would go to the
police station and enter a complaint. He
denied that he struck or in any way mo-
Tested complainant
said that Mrs Hnnps
on her own admission was seventy five
yards away when the trouble took place
and stated that there was a five-foot
fence dividing the grounds of the two
| houses. He could not see how one WON
an could have seen the other. seeing
| that neither of them was much over
| five feet tall
| 1T was a picket fence explained
Judge Wilcox, and could be easily seen
! through"
Judge Wilcox said that there was a
great difference between the Anglo-SaX
on and Oriental standpoints to an
assault on a woman. One showed such
an assault to be not very serious af-
fair, while the other revealed radically
different view of the matter. He impos-
ed a fine of 500 and costs as a lesson to
defendant and other employees who might
have grievances against their mistresses.
| Carl Wildeman was charged with hav-
Mrs. r. X. Trip. 1t appeared that on
Monday night, defendant, while under
the influence of liquor and in the COM
pany of other boisterous spirits, met
complainant on the street, embraced her
and pushed her down.
High Sheriff Brown said that had de-
PENDANT been in his sober senses, he
would never have done what he was
charged with doing. He stated that de-
PENDANT was friend of his and that he
hated to have TO prosecute him. He was
to blame, however, and justice must be
meted out.
Complainant stated that she wanted
conduct in the future, and added that
although an apology had been rendered
it was not until after the warrant OF
arrest had been issued.
''This is one of those unpleasant cases
| which | hate to have come up." said
Judge Wilcox. Complainant is a wom-
an against whom a word of reproach
has never been breathed and is the wife
of a most respected citizen. A great,
hulking policeman stood by and saw the
assault committed and when complained
to said, Who is she, anyway Proba-
bly, because she was a Hawaiian wom-
an. No arrest was made until a war
rant was issued"
| Il object to the reputation given the
officer" exclaimed the High Sheriff an
grily. 1T is as bad as the recent Incl
dent in the Circuit Court when Warden
| Henry suffered on the word of a con-

Mrs. Trip is very far removed from
! a convict" snapped the Judge heatedly
as he imposed fine of $25 and costs.
John Powell, charged with malicious
injury, was called over the Goals for
previous failure to appear. His bail had
been declared forfeited, but on the ap-
peal of his attorney the case was re-
opened.
! Defendant explained that he had wait
ed for an old woman to call for him.
THE Judge may be an old women
said the Magistrate, but the old wcm-
an you waited for isn't the judge
