SAN FRANCISCO. April 10. 19o5-Dear
Friend: 1 just from the theater with
three seats because did not want to stay al
home. Not seeing anything of you, | was
day. l was dspleased that you did not find
main yours, LUIsA
Cross-examined by Attorneys Tread
well and Meyers alternately and in
unison, the complainant insisted that
as trusted agent only did she ever
treat the defendant. Had he ever be-
friended her? No, no; ha, ha! she
had never needed befriending. She
didn't know who requested him to
come to San Francisco Certainly she
did not. All Heaven, why should she
have sent for him? Another effort on
the part of the lawyers to read to her
some of the alleged translations above
quoted was sharply thwarted by the
Judge, and the ruling was as sharply
protested. The remainder of the ex-
animation was confined to asking
questions as to the dates and amounts
mentioned in the complaint, the cam
tatrice replying readily and piquantly
through the venerable linquist at her
side. Then she was permitted to re-
turn to the seclusion of the Judges
chambers. where she obligingly posed
for the photograph which is here
with reproduced.
There will be another hearing of
the case tomorrow morning, Julios
bail of $4,000 remaining undimin-
ished and he remaining in Jail. His
Honor, however, promised to consider
with the Prosecuting Attorney an ap-
plication for bail reduction entered by
Advocate Treadwell.
When she was extracted from the
ash barrel and restored to perpen-
dicularity, Mrs. Annie Gross hysteri-
Hammerslough and Mrs. Agnes Davis
that she had been knocked into the
receptacle by the force of an upper
cut delivered upon her jaw by the
right fist of Mrs. Annie Lyons, who
had thereupon fled, leaving her victim
inverted and helpless. That story
Mrs. Gross more calmly repeated un-
der oath before Judge Cabaniss.
"And why" inquired His Honor.
was the blow struck ?''
You needn't ask me- was Mrs.
Gross reply. Il was in the back yard,
where | had as much right to be as
she had, when she came in with pail
of Stops and when l asked her why
she had DETAINED my character she
hauled off and hit me. 1 fell head
foremost into the ash barrel, and
there l was stuck until Mrs. Hammer
slough and Mrs. Davis pulled me out"
Mrs. Hammerslough testified that
she was en- route to the yard to deposit
slops when she heard the muffied
screams of Mrs. Gross and hastened
to the rescue. This testimony was
corroborated by Mrs. Davis, who was
also on her way to empty a slop-pail.
Miss Stacie Lawrence, for the de-
fense, said that Mrs. Gross evidently
considered herself entitled to monopo-
lize the back yard of the apartment
house at 907 Howard street because
she had come from Kentucky. As
for Mrs. Lyons knocking Mrs. Gross
into the ash-barrel that assertion
seemed so ridiculous to Miss Law
renee as to provoke her laughter.
World the Judge be good enough to
look at the two ladies and then ask
himself If 1t were possible that Mrs.
Gross had told the truth?
Mrs. Lyons denied having deposited
Mrs. Gross in the ash barrel. Those
folks" Mrs. Lyons averred, denoting
the three preceding witnesses, were
in the yard. and Mrs. Hammerslough
said, Hasn't Mrs. Gross got fine
shape?' to which. Sfacie Lawrence
responded, Her figure may be all
right, but she has saucy face Mrs.
Hammerslough went upstairs and
told Mrs. Gross what Stacie had said.
and Mrs. Gross came downstairs and
cut loose on me, though / hadn't said
a single word about her. She grab
