Police Judge Mogan Hears Two Stories
of Cruelty in Which Young Children
Are the Victims--Advice to a Father

Cameron attempt to eject him, but this
time there was a scrimmage, in which
the punishment was about equally di-
vided. Then the husband had the old
salt arrested.
When the defendant was remanded to
custody to await further evidence in
the case he dramatically protested, and
demanded to know what. was to be-
come of the George Washington while
he languished in prison. The court
wearily replied that the good scow
schooner cut no figure in the case, and
to the best of his knowledge and belief
she would be compelled to take care OF
herself until her master is at liberty TO
resume command.
From the thriving city of Great Falls,
Mont, came w r. Getz to inspect the
San Francisco sights, and to properly
prepare his vision for the task he i'm
bibed until he was intoxicated. Then he
saw the interior of the City Prison, and
yesterday morning he had a close view
of Judge Mogan.
why, you are still drunk" ex-
claimed his Honor, as Mr.. Getz vainly
tried to stand erect before the bar OF
justice.
"Tain't drink Chico 'tish gout"
hiccoughed the defendant. I'm jush
full of gout."
You're full of whisky" said the
Judge. land you must go back to jail
till you're sober. A good sleep and
twenty-four hours total abstinence
from whisky is an infallible cure for
the sort of gout that you've got"
Mr.. Getz ambled from the judicial
presence.
When the case of NJ. T. Tacanda
was called in Mogan's court sturdy
young fellow emerged from the cage
with nautical swing and a number OIL
men in sailor togs advanced from
without the rail to the section reserved
for witnesses.
The charges against NJ. T. Tacanda
was pressed by Mr.. and Mrs. Simoles,
who own a water front lodging-house
with saloon attachment, and they tes-
titled that the defendant owed them
room rent for two months, which he
refused to pay, and that he added In
suit to injury by frequenting the sa-
looms and taunting them with inability
to make him pay. A troop of ordinary
and able seamen and apprentices and
few landlubbers corroborated the
testimony adduced by the Simoles and
the defendant had no logical excuse to
offer for his conduct. He will be sem
fenced to-day.
Throughout the testimony in the
case of robbery against several women
inmates of a Stockton-street room
| ing-house there were so many allu-
sions to one Irene that at last Judge
Mogan asked for a description of the
mysterious female. She is blonde
lady with a red Dress was the most
complete aid to her identification that
could be obtained.
Yet the elusive Irene was, according
to all the evidence, most active in the
robbery of a soldier named Carter
of about $40. 1t was sworn that Irene
! drugged his beer with cigarette ashes,
stole his money as he lay in a stupor
and left him in her apartment while
she fed to parts which the police have
since been unable to discover. The
most garrulous witness was young
man named Charles Cleal, who served
as clerk of the house, and when he
| told of the solicitude with which he
attended TO Carter's comfort before
and after the theft even Bailiff Hickey
was affected.
The hearing will be resumed next
Monday.
Marie Alberts, who stated that she
| is an actress, was the complaining
witness against Tillie King and Lola
Hallett, also self-alleged Thespians,
when they were conveyed before Mo-
gan to answer a charge of assault and
| battery Miss Alberts deposed that so
| grievous were the injuries inflicted
upon her by the defendants that she
/ was unable to leave her apartment for
four days. The assault, she explained,
was entirely unprovoked and took
place in the theater in which she and
her assailants were employed. When
she stated that the playhouse in ques-
ton occupies a basement at Kearny
and Jackson street there was pal
pable sagging of the interest which the
chairwarmers had manifested in the
case.
| From other sources, however, it was
ascertained that the attack upon Miss
| AIberts was provoked in some uneX-
planned way by the attentions she re-
ceived from the impresario OF the es-
tablishment, James Hallett.
Before the case is finished there is
likely to be startling disclosures of the
unseen life behind the scenes of Mr..
Hallett's subterranean home of the
| drama.
Customs officer William Harrington
was on watch last Thursday night at
the Pacific Mail dock, when he saw a
young man in a boat whose actions
aroused his suspicion. The youth at
tempted to beard big steamship by
climbing over her stern, when the
watchman inquired why he had adopt
ed that extraordinary means of get
ting aboard, and the answer was so
unsatisfactory that the youth was
commanded to row ashore. Instead of
obeying, however, he started rowing
with might and main for open water,
and then the watchman opened fire
