The San Francisco call., 1905-05-30

IF you. don't behave as IL you were
an ordinary law respecting civilian 1t
will be my painful duty to subject you
TO the humiliation of arrest" was, in
I effect, the policeman's warning.
'If you lay your hands on me you'll
ascertain just how little respect 1 en-
| tertain for person who is neither SOL
der nor civilian" was. in effect. the
artilleryman's retort.
The def was promptly accepted and
! the warriors show of disrespect was
perforce confined to utterance of un-
complimentary language, for in the po-
| liceman'S grasp he was as a lamb in the
clutch of lion. Into a patrol wagon
he was unceremoniously bundled, while
observing Barbary Coasters, irrespect-
i've of sex, jeered his failure to make
good the threat he had so confidently
launched. AS the vehicle ratified pris-
onward the jeerS rang In his brain and
provoked him to final effort to rehabil-
itate himself in the esteem of those
who had witnessed his easy subjuga-
tion. So when the vehicle turned into
the narrow alley named Dunbar, sep
arating the Hail of Justice from the
Coroner's quarters, he suddenly leaped
from his custodian's side and blindly
dived through the doorway of the wag-
on. His head crashed against the stone
wall Of the Morgue and he crumpled
sciousness all of his fighting spirit had
departed and when he appeared before
Judge Mogan yesterday morning he
seemed SO detected that only fve-
dollar fine was imposed.
Police Captain Spillane, whose dis
trict is south Of Market street. had no
desire to arrest any person for an Of
fense committed north of the slot, but
Mrs. Nellie McGreevy's behavior left
open to him asa conscientious peace
officer no other course than the one he
took. He had just stepped out of the
county prison and was sauntering
along Broadway when Mrs. McGreevy,
whom he had incarcerated ere promo
ton came to him, assailed him with
language so putrid that her immediate
suppression was essential to the sani-
tation of the neighborhood. Judge Mo-
gan gave her three months and compI-
mented the captain.
Louis and Florence Delfino are separ-
ated by interlocutory decree of divorce,
but since the court half severed their
marital relationship they have dwelt in
propinquity near the intersection of Sixth
and Jessie streets and every Sunday they
have gone together to Fruitvale and spent
a few hours with their two children. 1t
was while returning from one of these
excursions that Louis appropriated and
disappeared with F1Orence's purse while
she was telephoning from the ferry sta
ton, and when the police found him he
was in bed at his home with the purse
under his pillow.
Its funny thing" said Louis to
Judge Mogan, that woman seldom ap-
preciates joke"
When it was explained that only fifty
five cents was missing from the purse
when it was discovered in the defendants
possession, and as Florence appeared re-
luctant to prosecute, his Honor dismissed
the petty larceny complaint to which she
had subscribed.
Twenty-two-year-old James OBrien will
probably be sentenced to eighteen months
Imprisonment when he reappears before
Judge Mogan this morning. One day last
week it was testified in the Juvenile Court
that he ruined the character Of two young
girls with deliberate intent to have them
earn money for him by working in a |
dance hall. Last Saturday night he
snatched a purse from the hand Of a
Pacific-street siren. Later that same
night when arrested by Patrolman Mills, |
he blackened one of his captor's eyes by |
unexpectedly punching it. Still later that !
night he grossly insulted some respectable |
women who, while Summing were in
specting the City Prison. The two girls |
whom he ruined Will be brought from |
the Magdalen Asylum to-day to testify |
against him.
Don't know de fairies at all,' he said |
when Patrolman Mills had told the Judge |
about the girls. "Dey're new ter me. I
Dis is con game"
Nine months is the sentence reserved by |
the same Judge for presentation to Dan
Mclaughlin, who was arrested last Feb
rrIa for wi hpa 10 hai
and was rearrested last Sunday, when he
indiscreetly returned to town. The Nc
Laughlins lived at 153 Minna street when
the head of the house beat his better
half.
