him not unduly insane, considering
there was a woman in the case. A
brother of the defendant appeared in
court and promised TO take him away
to Mendocino County, where he will not
be irritated at the sight Of his wife re-
yealing the future at cut rates.
Ed Stephenson, rated "a. B." on the
books of the good ship Invercauld, was
convinced yesterday that the rigid dis
cipline of the British merchant marine
is a good thing to adhere to when
ashore. With First Mate Fred G. Stock
el of the same stanch craft, Seaman
Stephenson was in a Montgomery street
clothing store last Saturday, and while
inspecting some garments which the
mate had approved, he decried their
quality and pronounced their price ex-
orbitant. This difference Of opinion led
to sharp words between the mariners,
and the man before the mast became
so excessively insubordinate that the
mate ordered him to return to his ship.
The order was fatty disobeyed and
rough and tumble fight ensued, in
which both were actively engaged when
policeman disturbed them. They
were before Judge Mogan yesterday
morning on charge of disturbing the
peace.
When the court had heard the facts
of the case, as above narrated, he
opined that Stephenson was largely the
aggressor and had provoked all the dis
turbance created by the mate. The sea-
man was very repentant and on his
promise to duly respect his superior Of
f1cer ashore as we'll as on shipboard,
the case was dismissed.
Six months was the penalty handed
out by Judge Mogan to Lawrence b.
Hill, the bellboy, who had six previous
accusations of petty larceny to his dis
credit when he was arrested and con-
victed of stealing an overcoat from a
guest at the hotel in which he was
employed.
With her face bruised and her eyes
blackened and swollen, Louise Har-
court appeared before Judge Mogan
and swore to a warrant charging her
landlady, Amber Clark, at 567 O'Far-
rell street, with assault and battery.
The complainant stated that the de-
fendant entered her room, locked the
door. knocked her down and jumped
upon her face with both feet, with
the effect described. The provocation,
if any existed, for the attack was not
mentioned by the disf1gured Louise. \

Sunday and gathered in six peanut
legal authority for their mercantile
enterprise. Before Judge Conlan yes
terday they answered to the names of
Thomas Loovasis, Thomas Caritas,
Joseph Zuhon, William Jordan, Chris
Gaia and Nick Rocklaysen.
What's their nationality-Italian? ?"
inquired the court as he surveyed the
90 p kA6
plexion of the defendants.
They are Greeks" responded the Of
f1cial interpreter.
ASK them what they did It for" in
structed the court.
They say they did not know that
license to sell peanuts on Sunday and
at the beach was necessary" was ex-
planned.
Tell them they should have learned
something about the laws of this city
and county before embarking In bust
ness" said the Judge. ITO convey a
warning to other recent arrivals from
the land where burning Sappho sung
will pronounce these defendants guilty
and order them to appear tomorrow
for sentence. 1 hate to nip individual
business endeavor in these piping times
of trusts and combines, but the laws

Josephine Winship was found guilty
by Judge Cabaniss OF robbing Eugene
Duffey of $40, despite her plea that she
had "only $5 to her name" when a po-
liceman searched her, the same officer
subsequently testifying that he had
caught her in the act of concealing two
$40 pieces and a S. coin. To show that
he entertained no doubt at all as to
Josephine's culpability, the court or
dered that the $40 be turned over to
Eugene, which was done with all due
legal formality.
Mr. Duffey testified that he had de-
posted the two golden eagles IN a cigar
box which lay upon shelf in his
apartment, to which Mrs. Winship had
free access at all times; that when he
missed the money he at once suspected
her Of having pilfered 1t, and that he
notified a policeman Of his loss, with
the result stated.
Mrs. Winship will be sentenced to-
day.
