WOMANS BREACH OF CONFIDENCE
LEADS TO TROUBLE IN Tenement
Mrs. Lena Brown Declares She Will Never
Disclose What Mrs 1Jeroma LisIe Says
About Mrs. Mendoza, Then Flies to Tell

to her. THAT soT' she smilingIy in
quired.
Klock the attorney for the defense was
prolific of objections, which so worried
the witness that she finally declared
she would testify in her own way.
II object he shouted
object till you're tired" she re-
torted. 'Pll tell my story"
When gently reminded by the bench
that she was not the whole court Mrs.
Klock tossed her head like q horse in
fiy-time and shifted defiance, But she
tamely submitted to subsequent objec-
tions by the defense.
Mrs. Nellie Rose and Mrs. Clara
Hadler are joint occupants of No. 40
Stanford street, the latter lady living
on the lower floor. There was estrange-
ment between them for some time prior
to the breaking of one of Mrs Had
ler's windows by Mrs. Rose and the
consequent inflicting of a nervous
shock upon Mrs. Roses parrot. from
which that highly educated bird soon
afterward expired. The case is before
Judge Fritz, and several witnesses
have already testified that Mrs. Rose
broke the window and that the parrot
died. Testimony for the defense will
be heard to-day.
John Wetzel, driver of milk wagon.
was on his matutinal round when he
found that one of his customers, Mrs.
Aiken of 1929 Sixteenth street, had ne
elected to leave a pitcher upon her
front doorstep. as had been her wont
before retiring for the night. and in
order to prevent her having a milk
less breakfast he took a tin pail from
the porch of Mrs. Dwyer's domicile,
No. 3033 Sixteenth street, filled it with
lacteal fluid and left it upon the Aiken
doorstep. On complaint of Mrs. Dwyer
he was arrested for petty larceny. but
the lady subsequently relented to the
extent of declining to prosecute.
It was Bailiff Mahoney who got off
the bon mot anent the originality of
arresting a person for rushing the
can"
Harry Pollock, the fistic impresario,
celebrated the eve of his departure
eastward by imbibing freely of ten
derloin stimulants and disturbing the
peace to such an extent that Patrol
man Roble arrested him at Ellis and
Mason streets early yesterday morn
ing. He deposited s. bail which was
declared forfeited by Judge Mogan
after it was announced that the de-
fendant had taken an early train.
E. c. Lonergan, arrested with Pol
lock and similarly charged, was dock
eted to appear before Judge Fritz, but
he, too, allowed his bail to go to the
city's enrichment while he sped east
ward.
Z. A. Peterson. steersman of the scow
schooner Cheerful Clara, thought that
knockout drops had been given him
in his second drink of Pacific-street
whisky because after imbibing it his
senses fed and remained out OF COM
mission until about an hour prior to
his arraignment before Judge Mogan.
Dismisslng the charge of drunkenness
his Honor secuted the knockout drops
theory and remarked that two drinks
of the whisky retailed on the Barbary
Coast are sufficient, without the aid
of other opiates. to knock out any man
of ordinary mental constitution.
Joe DAILY, in a faded suit Of blue
stole a razor from a Fillmore street
barber shop and will be sentenced to-
day for petty larceny. His military
apparel, he said had been retained as
a souvenir of his service for Uncle
Sam, which expired several months
ago, and so we'll did he love the dear
old flag that he would be grateful if
could re-enlist Immediately. But his
patriotic plea went for naught.
James Kelly was accompanied by
friend-present whereabouts unknown
TO the police-when he entered a
building in course of construction on
Folsom street, where. in facetious
spirit, the friend picked up a car
penter's saw and playfully thrust it
I'M DOR 4 To-,
oughly did James enter into the spirit
of the joke that he did not attempt to
remove the implement until he was
collared by its owner, Mr.. Eberhard,
who was at work on the second-ffoor
rafters and witnessed the entire side
splitting incident, but failed to grasp
the fun of it. He turned James into
custody and strangely enough Judge
Mogan shared the serious view of the
case, for he declared James guilty of
petty larceny and said he would SEN
tence him to-day.
The defendant gave his occupation
as glass blowing, and Clerk Gray ven
tured the uncalled for opinion that
his glass blowing probably consisted
of putting the foam from beer glasses.
John Mccarthy was no sooner re-
leased after serving a sixty days
trick" for vagrancy than he returned
to his fomer haunt, the Coast Line
depot, and stuck to it until he mar
rowly escaped death from a freight
train and was arrested on the old
charge. On his previous appearance
before Judge Mogan the defendant
said he was drawn to the depot by
some irresistible attraction, as it was
here he last saw the rich and beauti-
-ul maiden to whom he was aff1anced |
and from whom he had not heard for
three years. He started to repeat the |
pathetic tale yesterday, when he was
abruptly told to go to Jail for three
months.
Mr.. MCGOWAN pleaded for the re-
ease of Lille Edwards, arrested on |
Howard street and charged with va
yrancy by Patrolman Skellyy-because |
'he did not know her husbands |
and might have been |
iriven to suicide by ennui if he (Mr. |
McGowan) had not philanthropicaly !
