The San Francisco call., 1903-12-25

Ducksy" Rosenbaum, who is one OF
the well-known characters of the city,
| appeared in Judge Conlans court yes
terday, gorgeously appareled, to tell
her version of the assault which she
claims was made on her at Larkin
street and Pacific avenue week ago
by Louis F. Marshall, race track ha-
bitue. Mrs. Rogers told the court that
as she was walking along on her way
home with her arms full of packages
Marshall struck her and knocked her
! down. When she arose he knocked
her down a second time and kicked her
! in the back of the head. She arose
/ again and was felled for the third
! time, she claimed. George Marshall,
she said, was present and begged his
| brother to desist after the first assault,
/ but his pleas availed nothing.
Alfred Friefz testified that he saw
some people fighting on the corner
and one of them was a woman. He
could not identify any of the combat
ants.
The defense offered no testimony,
merely cross examining Mrs. Rogers.
! She denied that she had struck Mrs.
Louis Marshall at the race track. She
admitted that she had shook her fist
in the face of Marshalls wife, and
when asked why she did that an
swered that it was because Louis Mar
shall was the biggest thief in Amer
lea. Further hearing of the case went
over until December so.

| Samuel Hargreaves, the Petaluma
real estate dealer, who persistently de-
clined to contribute to the support of
I his 1O-year-old child. has been con-
verted to better view of his marital
affairs under the skillful guidance of
/ Judge Mogan. His wife appeared in
court yesterday and told the Judge
that the husband had given the little
( girl $40 for Christmas and had made
other provisions that were highly sat
/ isfactory. Accordingly the charge of
failing to provide for the little girl
! was dismissed.
! Angelina Archibald will have to an
! swer before the Superior Court for
grand larceny and until she manages
to secure bail in the sum of $4,000 will
! languish in jail Such was the de-
cision of Judge Mogan after he had
! listened to the cause yesterday. An
! gelina is a half-breed Indian who
/ abandoned the peaceful wickiup for
g career of crime in the centers of
! civilization. A miner from Arizona
made her acquaintance and it cost him
! s42O, which she filched from his
pocket. During her hearing in court
she reviled the Judge and bailiffs and
/ her removal to Jail gave much relief
to the overstrained officials.
William H. Owens, who was arrest
! ed, together with Harry Howard, for
! the robbery of William Little in a sa-
! loon at $50 Market street, was held to
appear before the Superior Court yes
terday by Judge Mogan. Owens is
Missouri farmer and was exonerated by
Howard of completely in the crime. The
/ Judge said he was inclined to believe
| the accused man innocent, but he
thought it better to have him tried by
jury of his peers. If he were acquit-
I ted by them the Yindication would be
greater and the incident would leave no
stain on his future life.
! William Hall has been making
nuisance of himself among the private
residences on Stanyan street. He would
apply for aims on the plea that he
wished to get money to go to his moth
er in Los Angeles. When he was re-
! fused money he became abusive and in
sistent. The assistance of a policeman
was secured finally and Hall was taken
/ to jail He appeared before Judge Mo-
gan yesterday and was sentenced to
the County Jail for thirty days. In ad-
dition he received a tobasco roast de-
Iivered in the Judges best style, which
may cause him to think better of
beggar's career when he is at liberty
! again.
Thomas Hill, colored, and Fred Tuck
er, white man. were sentenced to six
months and three months, respectively.
by Judge Mogan yesterday on the
charge of vagrancy. They are strong
arm men and have been infesting
! Third and Market streets for month.
Last Saturday night they robbed an old
man of 81 and managed to lose him be-
fore they could be apprehended. More
over they succeeded in inducing James
Hoffman, the beautiful young man who
tends to the cigarette department of
! the Bohemian cigar stand, to give them
! 81 in exchange for three quarters and
two dimes. Handsome Jim" was or
the witness stand to tell his troubles
to a sympathizing court. During his
examination he tried to get fresh, and
the Judge warned him to preserve
reasonable degree of dignity, otherwise
he would be committed to jail for con-
tempt Judge Mogan didn't want to be
called "k-i-d' in open court.
Bailiffs Mahoney and Hickey of Judge
Mogan's court will enjoy Christmas
cheer at the expense of the enlightened
jurist who presides over the. tribunal.
