vide for her proper maintenance and
supplemented the denial with a declar-
alton that her viciousness Of temper
was primarily responsible for all the
trouble that seethed in their common
domicile on Eighth street. He would
Police Judge Cabaniss an adequate
idea Of Mrs. O'Shea's vitriolic DISPOSE
| ton, that he was unable to find de-
cent lodging for his horse because she
had orally abused every stablekeeper
with whom he had placed the animal
and he could not persuade any other
ltveryman to accommodate him. AS
a consequence the horse, after hauling
a truck wagon all day, is compelled to
J spend his nights outdoors and the noe
! turnal fogs do not contribute to the
+ upbuilding Of a physical constitution
impaired by age, toll and irregular
/ feeding. If the animal dies, it's death
must be laid at the door of Mrs.
/ O'Shea.
Mrs. Mary Core, mother-in-law Of
/ the defendant, emphatically defended
/ her daughters character from Mr..
! O'Shea's aspersions. A better natured
woman than Mrs. O'Shea never tried to
! live in harmony with a human brute,
( Mrs. Core averred, and as for doing or
saying anything that might bring dis
comfort upon the horse, Mrs. O'Shea
was absolutely incapable of such con-
duct Love of dumb animals was one
of Mrs O'Shea's dominant character
! istics and perhaps if Mr.. O'Shea were
dumb she might forgive his failure to
provide her with life's necessaries. But,
alasl he did not possess even that ap-
peal to the sympathy Of a woman who
was hundred per cent too good to be
dependent upon the ike of him.
In rebuttal of his mother-in-law's
testimony Mr.. O'Shea started to i'm
pugn the compliments character be
fore he married her, but the Judge
sharply shut off his fervid arraignment
and continued the case till Septem-
Der Is.
A Salvation Army agent pleaded hard
for the release of Pearl Barker, a
pretty girl who was arrested for
drunkenness a few hours after Judge
Conlan had dismissed a similar charge
against her in response to her promise
that she would Immediately leave town.
She then stated that she had recently
come from Redding to seek employ
ment as house servant and had fallen
among evil companions in the Sixth
street lodging house where she lived.
II have talked with this young
woman" said the Salvationist, land
believe she is thoroughly repentant and
eager to return to good living. Her
parents are respectable people at Red
ding and if you let her go will see to
it that she returns to them as soon as
= possible"
II had made up my mind TO send her
70 jail for six months" said the Judge
after a moments thought, but she
will be given another chance. If she
is brought before me again no appeal
can save her from receiving the limit. y
The girl wept copiously as she &C
companied her Samaritan from the
courtroom.
Mrs. Julia Duffy. after a week OF
fairly pacific conduct, renewed dis
turbing the peace of her daughter-in-
law, Mrs. Annie Duffy, in their COM
mon home on Guy place, and the
younger woman then repeated her for
NAL complaint and had the elder re-
arrested. Judge Cabaniss continued
the original case for thirty days in or
der to give the defendant opportunity
to show by amended behavior that she
was entitled to dismissal, and when she
stood before him yesterday he roundly
chided her for being there so soon.
u will now confess" said his Honor
that your previous release was largely
due to your declaration Of political
principles and my desire to deal gently
with an erring co-partisan. You said
you were a Horse and Cart and
as a McNab loyalist, tempered justice
with mercy. That plea, madam, can
not help you in this case"
"Since my previous appearance here,
said Mrs. Duffy, Il have Joined the
McNabbites, and that, too, despite the
fact that the Horses and Carts, mar
shaled by Johnnie Greeley. carried The
primaries of my district. But politics
shall not enter my present plea either
directly or by implication. I want time
to bring in witnesses to testify to my
reputation for sobriety and good be-
havior at all times and under all cir
cumstances. Will you be so good as Il
instruct your clerk to issue subpoena:
for Mrs. Higgins, Mrs. Robinson and
Mrs. Terrier, all of whom have known
me for years and will testify that
have always been a LADY,"
THAT / WILL" responded the court
land next Monday we will hear whai
the three ladies have to say about
you"
w. ]. Greenfield was arrested at
o'clock yesterday morning as he was
departing from the Winchester Hote
and w. CARTRIDGE and A. z. Renninl
are ready to testify that he entered
their room and stole the watch anC
chain which was found in his posses
sion when they caught him in the cor
ridor and turned him over to the Gus
tody of Patrolman Mackay. Judg'
Conlan will hear their testimony mex
Monday.
