The San Francisco call., 1905-05-03

battering the head of a lady OF Nippon
IN her small curiosity shop at $40 Pine
street.
Could the court Of most honorable
degree the passing of judgment post
pone until the defendant most unhappy
would the proof of the excellent char
acter produce? It might the time not
short the proof TO get, because the let
ters from Japan to arrive the long time
take. No2 Too bad the hurry so much.
Then would the Judge most honorably
the inquiry make in the here city,?
No2, Too. bad the too busy Of the Judge
honorable
Mr.. Shiotani not only smote the lady
Of Nippon with his fist, but belabored
her Uranium with musical instrument
imported from his native land and ex-
posed for sale among the miscellaneous
wares in her shop. Produced in evil
dence- it was likeneds TO a Chinese fid-
die, only more so, and the japanese in-
terpreter,s offer to treat the court to
taste Of its quality was respectfully but
firmly declined. There was absolutely
no prOvocauOn' for the assault, the lady
averred, and Mr.. Shiotani proved his
innate chivalry by abstaining from
contradiction of that statement. If ten
thousand expressions of sorrow would
q appease the lady's physical and spir-
itual pain she could freely have them
from him. While ic would be too much
for him to solicit her forgiveness he
could at least most abjectly request
her pity. The. remainder Of his life
would largely be- made UP Of regrets
for the upholy act he committed while
his brain was in possession Of the
drink devil
Twas then the lady's rancor melted.
And she glanced at the Judge more in
gratitude than reproof when he COM
