half-baked prizefighter."
The Judge did look at him and ap-
parently was impressed by what he
saw, for he continued the case.
Three charges of burglary are regis
tered against Louis Novinski and Moses
Levi whose combined ages would not
exceed two score years, and yesterday
Judge Mogan continued the cases un-
I'll next Saturday, by which time the
poilce will probably have discovered
additional felonies committed by the
youthful duo.
The existing complaints against No
vinslSi and Levi are signed bv Kate
Croney Of 1896 Ellis street. whose resi-
dence they plundered on January 8:
Lydia Williamson of 1882 Taylor street.
who suffered by their unlimited visit
10 her domicile on January %. and c.
blesser or So1 Frederick street, from
whom they stole personal property on
January "a. Since the latter date the
young criminals have presumably been
active, and Western Addition house
holders who have been robbed during
the interim might find something to
their advantage by communicating
with the police.
Thomas Outwaters was before Judge
Conlan on a charge of plain drunk,
when Mary Wood of 93O1a Harrison
street requested the court TO have the
man examined by the Lunacy Commits
sioners, as she doubted his sanity. This
doubt, she explained, was based upon
the fact that he had professed indy
ing love for several young ladies who
dwell with her and that he had been
in the habit of visiting their domicile
at the hour of 4:30 a. m. and loudly
declaring his passion, thus numbering
their sleep and making, as she termed
1t, "a regular fool of himself" She
said it would be unjust to Jail the man
for drunkenness until his sanity has
been properly tested, and the Judge
agreed with her.
Joseph Hill Joseph Murray and
Thomas Brown. boys. are accused of
having broken the seal Of a freight car
in the Southern Pacific yards, and
Judge Cabaniss has continued the case
against them until the police have as
certained whether they abstracted any
of the merchandise with which the car
was laden.
Morris Auerbach, who is under SEN
tence of three months Imprisonment,
will have his period of incarceration
extended to nine months when he is
hailed before Judge Mogan this morn
M fhn anff
peace-disturbance personified. When
at liberty he wanders all over the city,
leaving a trail of unprovoked oral
abuse hurled unfortunately. Along
the cocktail route he is known and
Stunned and even remote suburbs have
felt the lash of his foul tongue His
last vituperative volley was fired at
an unoffending citizen away out Point
LObos avenue, and its reward was three
months, prescribed about a week ago.
Since then complaints against him have
been pouring in from all parts of the
city and enough of them have been Sc
lected to enable the court to tack on
six months additional to-day.
Richard Clark appeared on crutches
to answer the charge of begging and
Judge Mogan sent him to Jail for three
months. He is a helpless cripple and
confirmed drunkard, and in his case
charity.
Richard Miller, famed along the
Barbary Coast as an agile and graceful
dancer. will be tried for vagrancy be-
fore Judge Mogan on March Is. Pa
trolman Nelson made the arrest re-
luctantly, realizing the deprivation he
was visiting upon the terpsichorean
resorts that illume his beat. but he
could not conscientiously ignore the
fact that Mr.. Miller had no visible
means of support.
Policeman Fogarty told Judge Mo-
gan of how he had been deceived by
Lawrence Goodwin a few evenings ago
In the Tenderloin. 1t appeared that
the officer met a lady who had been
indulging rather lavishly in stimulat-
ing fluids and he was about to sum-
mon the patrol wagon when Lawrence
Goodwin advanced from the assembled
onlookers and pleaded for the prison
er's release, arguing that overnight
imprisonment might damage her repu-
tation and volunteering to escort her
TO her home if he were permitted TO
do that Samaritan act. Fogarty was
moved by the petition and yielded to
it, but considered it discreet to follow
Lawrence Goodwin and his charge un-
til they were beyond the boundary of
his beat. Disillusion came quickly to
the confiding officer. After they had
turned a corner Lawrence and the
lady entered saloon side door and
were partaking of drinks in a cur
tanned apartment. when Fogarty
popped in and arrested the man. 1t
was the officers revised opinion that
Lawrence Goodwin intended to rob the
lady and investigation of the defend
ants character strengthened that i'm
preston.
Lawrence will be sentenced for va
grancy to-day.
