dren If he were sent to Jail. The Judge
kept the case on the calendar until last
Friday, when he discharged John, with
a warning to amend his ways If he de-
sired to evade long term Of imprison-
ment. John proceeded from the court
room to his residence, where he gath
cred up and pawned all his spare ward
robe and with the money thus obtained
he got drunk and went home and beat
his wife.
IT'S useless to try to straighten him
up" said Mrs. O'Donnell to the Judge
yesterday "and 1 don't care what you
do with him.
You seem to be a thoroughbred
human brute, John O'Donnell, said the
Judge to the defendant, and Jail is the
best thing 1 can prescribe for your dis
ease. When do you want TO be sem
tenced?"
Right now" was the growing re-
sponse.
Six months in the County Jail"
'I don't like your town." said Jennie
Snyder to Judge Fritz, "and If you let
me go I'll get out of it just as soon as
can"
Your departure would be a sad blow
to the town." quoth the Judge, but it
must be borne, I suppose, after you
have served the twenty-four hours to
which 1 now sentence you"
George Leibert and his wife, Mary,
dwell apart, and with the woman their
four children reside at 113 Grove street.
1t was there that George disturbed the
peace and was arrested for 1t last Sat
urday on complaint Of Mary. who tes-
titled that he insisted on taking away
his progeny in violation of his verbal
pledge to let them remain with their
mother. George did not deny that he
wanted to obtain possession Of the
youngsters, and explained that his rea-
son for 1t was based upon the way in
which they were neglected by their
maternal relative. Witnesses, however,
testified that the children were as well
cared for as could be expected under
the circumstances, and then Judge Ca
baniss told George that he must either
pay a fine Of $50 or serve thirty days
in jail.
When the policeman had testified that
he found Archibald Keeler, tall, ragged.
unkempt and charged with vagrancy,
drunk and incapable on Market street
at midday. the defendant smiled de-
risively and spoke as follows:
That Is simply a repetition OF the
old story that in this city the law is
discriminative. II my clothes were new
and fashionably cut I would not be
here. This policeman would have placed
me in a hack and sent me home. But
he knew I was only a poor working
man. That's why he arrested me, and
not because ] was drunk"
Let me lock at your hands" sug-
gested Judge Fritz, and Archibald
Keeler submitted for inspection a pair
Of palms that displayed more soil than
evidence Of toll. Further inquiry elic-
tied the information that to the knowl-
edge OF the police Mr.. Keeler had in
dulged in no manual labor harder than
begging since he came here from no
where or anywhere three years ago.
Then he was remanded for sentence.

CHINESE BUTCHER AIMS
TO KILL FRENCH POODLE
Wounds the Animal by Shifting 1t With Cleaver
and It's Mistress Emphatcally Asserts That
the Cruel Blow Was Dealt Without Provocation

Tears dimmed the dark eyes of Nine.
Madeline Cotin as she exhibited TO
Police Judge Cabaniss an ugly wound
in the starboard side Of her French
poodle, Fiji, and told how it had been
made by a cleaver in the hand of An
Hing, pork butcher in Chinatown.
"Ah, monsieur" she exclaimed, "eet
was ze ver-ay CRUEL blow. My poor
Fiji him injaire no-bodee. Heem see
ze dead pig hangin' naked in re shop
of ze Chi-na-ma an heem go cen an
smell ze pig. Pouf! Ze Chi-na-man
heem throw re cleavaire an eet strike
re poor Fiji cen re reebs. Eet make
ze great hole. Ze blood come queeck
an ze poor Fiji heem ron an cry.
Mon Dteu."
Nine. Cotin's affecting description Of
the assault with a deadly weapon was
corroborated by her husband, Jules, OF
1119 Dupont street, who added some
strong character testimony to offset
the plea of provocation that the de-
fendant's attorney was apparently pre-
pairing to launch. He had owned and
educated dogs of various breeds and
degrees of intelligence, but never had
he met a brighter or more discreet
canine than Fiji If Fiji entered All
Kings shop unlimited and smelt of the
deceased swine, his prompting was de-
void of malice, or even MISCHIEF, ana
consisted solely of the inquisitiveness-
the investigatory instinct-that was
such a charming trait Of his nature.
No, there was no danger whatever Of
Fi-fis appropriating a portion of the
carcass. To smell it and thus satisfy
his curiosity as 70 whether it was gen
ulne meat or a cleverIy fashioned imi
tation was as far as Fiji would have
gone, even if the cleaver had not in
terrupted his examination. How did
NJ. Cotin know that? Simply because
M. Cotin knew that Fiji was amply
fed at home and that pork was no part
of his regimen. Pork might be relished
by such persons as the defendant, but
Fiji would starve to death sooner than
taste 1t, so attuned had his palate be-
come to the CONNECTIONS bestowed upon
him by an indulgent mistress.
Is it necessary to state that no
credence was attached to All Kings
plea that Fi-f's intent as he ap-
preached the pig was Enthusiastically
larcenous and that the cleaver was
hurled not to inflict bodily injury, but
merely to intimidate? The Judge
glanced once more at Ff-f1s wound
rubbed his own eyes and with faltering
voice pronounced All Hing guilty and
fined him S..
John O'Donnell, longshoreman, will be
absent from the water front for six

hands.
The O'Donne1ls dwell at 115 Jackson
street, and about three weeks ago John
was arrested and charged with dis
turbance of the peace, the complainant
being his better half. She told Judge

Decides for the Chief.

A case was decided in Justice of the
Peace Golden's court yesterday for the
defendant in which ]. B. Whitney
brought suit against Chief of Police
Whitman. Whitney had placed $50 in
the Chiefs hands to pay the expense
of bringing Rennie Thorsch, a DEFAULT
ing employe, from Los Angeles to this
city. Thorsch was returned to San
Francisco and Whitney brought suit
against Whitman for the money on the
ground that the Chief of Police has
fund of $4,000 allowed him for the
arrest and transportation of persons
charged with crime. Justice Golden
held that the charter did not contem-
plate the use of the fund in the appre-
hension of persons outside of the city
and county by the Police Department
Of San Francisco and so decided in ia
vor Of Chief Whitman.

"JESSUP FUND" HEARING
is TAKEN UP IN COURT
Trustees of Home for Feeble Minded
Children Sue Predecessors
in Office.

The hearing of the two suits by
which the present board of trustees
Of the California Home for Feeble
Minded Children attempts to recover
the money of the "Jessup fund" ex-
pended by the preceding board was
on in Judge Seawells court yesterday
and will be taken up again to-mor-
row. Attorney General U. S. Webb
is looking after the case for the State
institution. Witnesses were heard as
to the receipt of the fund, its deposit
and subsequent use.
An inmate of the home was Louis
B. Jessup. His mother, Hannah M.
Jessup, left $4,000 to the institution,
the profits to be used for the benefit
of the boy and after his death the
fund was to be used for the good Of
the home. It is charged by the pres
ent board of trustees that the former
board received $3676 80 principal and
interest on September "a, 1902. One
suit is for $S1S SO against the Puget
Sound Lumber Company and the for
mer trustees, and the second against
the same trustees and James A.
Shook & Co. 1t is charged that the
defendants in each case misappro-
priated the money to their own use.
The defendants other than the trustees
are the persons who received the
money expended by the trustees for
purposes which were not, 1t Is said,
within the purposes Of the fund.
