The San Francisco call., 1905-02-02


tion it cast upon her sense of self-es-
TEEN. Anv one who reads of her arrest
and does not know her personally may
be led to imagine that she exercises but
scant discrimination in her professional
capacity of entertainer-that all mas
culine visitors to the Cascade look alike
to her so long as they have money to
spend, and that she treats the lame,
the halt and the blind not mentioning
the deaf and dumb, with the same cor
diality that she extends to the sound of
limb and wind. She would not deny
that there were ladies whose avarice
led them to ignore the physical and
mental defects to which she had al
luded, but they had not attained her
peerless position. Her reputation would
be incalculably damaged by conviction
on the charge entered by this complaint
ant, and she was certain that even the
acquittal Of which she felt assured
would not undo all the mischief that
had been effected by her arrest.
Then the silent accuser told his story
with his hands, Police Sergeant Green
serving as interpreter. Not only had
he been most genially received by Miss
Hoyt, he swore, but from the moment
he entered the Cascade until he missed
his money she was constantly by his
side. Despite the fact that she did not
understand his mute language she ex-
perienced no difficulty in conveying to
him the intelligence that it was his
duty to purchase drinks, nor did he
have much trouble in convincing her
that her charms had enslaved him. He
was satisfied that she robbed him of
the $160, because no other person had
opportunity to do so.
Judge Fritz will hear more about II
tomorrow.
Daniel Mccarthy, whose abundant
hair dropped in matted festoons over
a crimsoned countenace. darkly limited
at police pilfering. When arrested for
vagrancy by Patrolman Nelson, he
averred, there was a dime and two
nickels in one Of his vest pockets, and
an inventory of his cash an hour later
disclosed the fact that it had been re-
ducad to IS cents, although he had not
spent any money during the interim
While he did not feel justified In openly
accusing his captor of knowing the
whereabouts of the missing nickel.
neither could he perish cankering sus-
picion its whereabouts was known to
that person. Would Judge Fritz kindly
order an immediate investigation of the
4 u.
then he sentenced Mr.. Mccarthy to ten
days Imprisonment to keep him clear of
intimidation or bribe- Offering while the
latest police scandal is being probed.
William Barhans, sturdy young
vagabond, was sentenced to six months
imprisonment for having brutally beat
en- his aged mother. Judge Cabaniss
imposed the extreme penalty and ex-
pressed regret that 1t was not more Sc
we're.
While a police patrol wagon was
standing in the alley back of the Hall
Of Justice early yesterday morning Pa
trolman Angle heard issuing therefrom
the chorus of ''The Girl / Loved Out
/ in the Golden Vest sung in a cracked
metallic soprano. Within the vehicle,
seated upon the floor he found Bridget
Boyle, about so years Of age and a vet
eran in vagrancy, and she explained
her presence by announcing that she
desired to be driven at once to the
County Jail. as experience had taught
her that only there could she avoid a
threatening attack of delirium tremens.
Judge Mogan asked her If six months
would serve her purpose, and she re-
piled that she could get along Just as
well on five months sentence, SO five
months she got.
Kate Sullivan, accused Of stealing SO
worth of clothing from Joseph Ruef of
43S Fifth street, whose laundress she
was, denied the theft and insinuated
that she was victim of persecution
because she had declined to harlSen to
love overtures from the complainant.
She might have received his tenders of
affection more pleasantly, she added,
If she had not been the f1ancee of an
other gentleman whose linen she
washed and ironed. Mr.. Ruef hotly de-
nounced the plea as an entire fabrica-
tion and requested Judge Fritz to look
at its author and decide If she were the
kind of female that would be likely to
create covetousness In the soul of any
man who was neither blind nor insane.
AS the court was too busy just then to
appraise Miss Sullivan's magnetism
