The case was that of All Jim, who
stole pair of pantaloons from the
clothing esta adjustment of J. Rosenthal
on Dupont street and concealed the
plunder underneath his blouse, where
it was discoyered by Parolman Bert
Wren. JIM will be sentenced to-day
for petty larceny.
Ida Morton. a young married woman.
charged with shoplifting, failed to ap-
pear for trial before Judge Conlan
and her attorney presented a physi-
clans certificate to the effect that ap-
preaching maternity would make her
public arraignment an ordeal that
might result seriously. The case went
over till to-day for further inquiry.
The woman was arrested in the En-
porium by Special officers Allan and
Tilton. who state that she had stolen
from that establishment four silver
spoons. three shirtwaists and three
sets Of buttons, of the total value Of
s. 30.
So firmly welded to the pistol-carry-
ing habit is Charles Johnson that neith-
er detention in prison nor judicial
warning can divorce him from it. He
was arrested several weeks ago for
brandishing his revolver in the face of
a Fifth street restaurateur with whom
he had a dispute over payment for
meal, and when he promised to drop
the weapon into the deepest part of the
bay Judge Mogan gave him freedom
% 10
self from the pistol, however, he kept
it concealed on his person until Thurs
day evening, when he again displayed
it in a threatening manner in a saloon
at S39 Howard street His case has gone
over until next Monday, by which time
the court Will probably have devised
some other means of attempting to
cure him of dangerous mania.
James Jackson (colored) will be SEN
fenced TO six months to-day by Judge
MOgan, who has discovered that he is
an old offender in the larceny line.
MIR. Jackson was arrested one day
last week for failing TO return a bicycle
which he had borrowed from a boy,
and in court he repeatedly and solemn
ly declared that he had no recollection
Of what he did with the vehicle. AS he
testified his hat in his hand. the
Judges eagle eye perceived a bit of
paper stuck in and almost concealed by
the sweat band. The headgear was
snatched from Mr.. Jackson's hand and
the paper examined, and, sure enough,
it turned out to be a pakn ticket show
ing that Mr.. Jackson had pledged one
bicycle for the sum of 81 so.
Then one Of the bailiffs whispered
something to his Honor who sharply
interrogated Mr.. Jackson and quickly
ascertained that he was recently re-
leased from prison after serving a six
months term for stealing some jewelry
from Mrs. Julia Taylor of $50 Minna
street and forgetting to remember what
he had done with the plunder until it
behind a gate post near the Taylor resi-
dence.
Joseph Brzezinsk was intoxicated in
his own temperance" saloon, at 4O2
Pacific street, shortly after midnight
on June s, when he underwent the
thrilling experience that placed him
in Judge Mogan's court yesterday as
William Jarrett, accused OF burglary.
His tale was attentively listened to by
a large delegation from the most ex-
elusive set of Barbary Coast society,
and at times it moved the auditors TO
derisive laughter.
According to Mr.. Brzezinshs theory
he was the victim of a modern arrange
ment Of the antique panel game, said
to have been in active operation long
before the gold brick swindle was first
sprung upon the PomDeiians. He was
entertaining in his apartment a young
lady from an adjacent dance hall who
had manifested preference for his So
ciety when the door was rudely burst
open and two men, believed to be the
defendants, rushed in, and after child
ing his gallantry relieved him of $3.50
cash, a watch and chain and three
boxes Of cigars. Several detectives and
others gave testimony that served to
help the prosecution, and the defense
will have its inning next Monday.
Miss Raynee Langford, the lady in
the case, haughtily denied collusion
with the defendants, and also tried to
make 1t appear that her visit to Mr..
Brzezinskis chamber was not volun-
tary. as he had insinuated. She went
there, she said, to call upon his two
daughters, each of whom presides over
a temperance saloon owned by the
father, and she said that 1890 a. m.
was not an unusual hour for ladies to
make social calls in that district.
