ALLEGED OFFER OF CASH.

Attorney Ach, cross-examining the
witness, asked: "Have you ever been
offered any money for that book. by
whom, how much and in whose pres
ence?'
by Sheriff veale of Contra Costa
County in the office of Attorney Camp
bell" the witness replied, II was Of
fered 500 for the book and a salary Of
800 a month while the case was going
on
The witness further testified that he
had been offered the 500 check. but was
never informed what work would be
required of him to earn the 500 a
month. He also said he had been
threatened with arrest for conspiracy
and told he had better give up the
book.
While the witness could give no def
mite figures regarding conditions in the
warehouse without referring to the
book, which he lost in his own house.
he was certain that at the time of the
failure there was not as much grain
there as the papers called for.
Just before adjournment Herman Ep-
pinger was placed on the stand, but
taking the cue from the attorneys for
his brother he declined to answer any
questions. He would not admit that he
was president of the Pacific Coast
Warehouse Company, nor would he tell
whether or no he knew Of the present
location of the books of that concern.
The case goes on to-day.

David Heating was in Judge Con-

and as Bailiff Laws was removing MIN
from the cage to the dock he suddenly
grasped that sturdy officer around the
body. pinning his arms to his sides, and
attempted to throw him over the rail.
1t is doubtful that he could have ac-
complished the task even If several
policemen had not instantly rushed to
Laws rescue. The man was so ap-
parently demented that the Judge or
dered his removal and examination by
the lunacy commissioners.

Judge Fritz heard some testimony In
the case of DR.. E. Schmoll, accused OF
practicing medicine without license,
and will hear more of it to-day. The
defendant said his failure to procure
a license was due to the fact that since
his arrival in California the State
Board of Medical Examiners has not
foregathered to do business. He also
hinted that DR.. Dudley TAFT, president
of the board, had said something to him
which he had interpreted to mean that
by paying $40 he could obtain immun-
ity from prosecution. DR.. TAFT ac-
knowledged that the sum Of $40 had
been mentioned by him in a conversa-
ton with the defendant. but he had
alluded to it as bail, not as bribery.
Dr. Cheney and DR.. Gibbon declared
| Dr. Schmoll eminently fitted by educa-
ton and experience to practice medi-
cine in California or anywhere else,
and added that they regarded him as
the worlds most reliable authority on
sout. Deputy Health officer Louis
! Levy. Nurse Carrie Newman of the
| City and County Hospital and Drs.
Zumwalt and Thorn agreed that as
the defendant was without a license to
practice in California he was legally
| incompetent to practice in California.
despite his professional reputation and
| ability.

opodist, who was charged with obtain
ing $40 by false pretense from Letizia
BeIzier. a French governess, was found
guilty by Judge Mogan and ordered to
appear to-day for sentence.
The defendant did not deny obtain
ing the money by representing to the
woman that he had a "cinch" on
horse race, but he did deny having will
fully defrauded her. "'Twuz a race at

A charge Of drunkenness against r.
NJ Speakman. a poolroom attache. was
dismissed after he had called Judge Mo-
gan's attention to the bruised condition
of one of his eyes and told how the
damage was inflicted. He is the fus
band of Anne Speakman, who is under
$500 bail to answer for assault with a
deadly weapon upon Mrs. Clara Le-
fevre about month ago in the home of
Mrs. Speakman's father. Adolph Beth.
The women fought a duel. Mrs. Speak
mans weapon being a carving knife,
Mrs. Lefevre's a pair of scissors. The
cause of the quarrel was Mrs. Speak
mans objection to her father marrying
Mrs. Lefevre, who was his housekeeper.
Speakman told Judge Mogan yesterday
that his eye was blackened by Beth,
who was angry because the Speakmans
would not consent to a settlement Of
the case out of court. Mrs. Speakman' 8
case will be called tomorrow morning.

Devencenzi, a middle-aged matron,
charged with having assaulted 16-year-

of the exchange, and then the mother
struck Pearl on the face, knocking her
down. and kicked her and hammered
her head against a lampost. The case

Lizzie Hammers, a young Italian
woman, stood upon the porch balcony
of 21015 Washington street and scream
ed for aid while Guinardo TranSachl,
swart and sturdy, tore her shirt waist
to ribbons in efforts to pull her INTO
the house. Patrolman Van Kuren hearo
Lizzie's cries and arrested both ner
and Guinardo for disturbing the peace.
Lizzie wore a blue silken veil as she
testified before Judge Mogan and when
she removed this, at his Honors re-
quest, a swollen and blackened right
eye was disclosed. The bruise was In
ficted by the fist of Guinardo. she
said, the only provocation for the blow
being her refusal to comply with his
demand that she leave her face un-
powdered when she started TO walk
abroad She had never applied much
facial decoration, she averred, ana
would have used none at all II her nose
were not particularly susceptible TO
sunburn, which made it red and shiny.
Guinardo told a different tale. Be
fore going out of the house, he de-
clared, Lizzie powdered her entire Wis
age until it looked as if she had taken
a header into a barrel of flour, ana
when he protested she scoffed at MIN.
In his endeavor to restrain her from
venturing abroad with such COM
plexion he might have blackened her
eye, but the damage was not inflicted
maliciously.
The Judge had fairly started to de-
liver a homily upon the beauties OF
conjugal felicity, when Guinardo
startled the attorneys table and shock
ed Bailiff Hickey by remarking that
Lizzie was not a wife.
IF that is the case" said his Honor,
you must either marry the woman or
go to Jail for assaulting her. I'll give
you till tomorrow to think it over and
would strongly suggest that you accept
the hymeneal alternative"
Guinardo promised right there and
then to lead Lizzie to the altar as soon
as the necessary legal preliminaries
could be arranged and the Judge as
sured him that the Mogan matrimonial
bureau would be open for business at
high noon to-day.
