AS the charge against Mr.. Estelle
was that of having exhibited a deadly
weapon, and inasmuch as an unloaded
pistol cannot be rated deadly any more
than a kitchen poker, dismissal was OBJ
tanned on the technical imperfection of
the complaint.

Judge Fritz that she had been taught

It was pretty conclusively proved by
the prosecution that little Mrs. Brodof-
sky acted with true wifely devotion when
she picked up the tree limb and smote
Hazard Bostwick on the neck with it, for
he was furiously attacking her husband,
Max, with a chisel and already had
plunged the weapon into that portion OF
the human anatomy colloquially termed
1.-The small of the back" So it was de-
cided by Police Judge Conlan that Mrs.
Brodofsky's welding of the tree limb did
not nullify Justification of the charge of
assault with deadly weapon which Mr..

ANOTHER DEAL
FOR BANK SITE
San Francisco National Is
Now Owner of Property
Upon California Street
NE,WHALL rs A BUYER
London and San Francisco
Corner Is Purchased as
Permanent Banking Home

Another large bank deal has gone
through III this city without any noise.
The old structure of the London and San
Francisco Bank, on the northwest corner
OF California and Leidesdorf street, built
by Milton S. Latham, and for many years
a landmark, has been sold to the San
francisco National Bank for large sum,
running into the hundreds of thousands
of dollars. Thereby the Bank Of Califor-
MIA is insured temporary headquarters on
California street during the period when
the magnificent new building that 1t will
erect is in construction. The San Fran
cisco National Bank insures for itself
permanent quarters on California street
after the Bank OF California is once more
housed on the northwest corner OF Call
fornia and Sansomc stl eets
This move and the sale of the property of
the Newhalls California, Sansome and
Halleck streets to the Bank cf California
are related in way. George A. New
hall. acting for the White Investment
Company. sold the Bank of California the
ADDITIONAL land it needed for building
site. This zeal has been finally closed.
The NeWhalS have received the money
from the Bank, of California and the pa
peis have passed. George A. Newhall, as
q member 10 the finance committee of the
San Francisco National Bank, was in
strumental IN acquiring the London and
San francisco Bank property. No broker
Inquired III either of these transactions.
The Bank of California will probably
begin to erect its building early i'll
the year 1906 The Newhalls are the ten
ants of the Bank of California and prob
ably will, so remain until the first of jan
uary. next Then the Bank of California
will move to the London and San Fran
cisco Bank building. Great changes in
California street are impending as the ie-
suits Of these deals The lot on which
the London and San Francisco Bank
stands is 55:3 on California street and 97:6
on Leidesdorff.

This afternoon the ceremonies con-
nected with the opening of the new
Postoffice building will be under the
auspices Of the Manufacturers and
Producers Association of California
and other local commercial bodies. The
exercises will begin at 2 o'clock.
Owing to the large demand for invi-
tations and the limited space for the
audience it has been found necessary
to give preference to the holders of in
vitations and the general public will
not be admitted until the holders of
invitations have been provided for.
1t is particularly requested that all
those holding invitations should pre-
sent them at the courtyard entrance
of the building on Mission street

Brodofsky subsequently filed against Mr..
Bostwick
1t was on Witt street, near the San
Bruno road. where the Brodofskys and
the Bostwicks are neighbors, that the
fight occurred Mr.. Brodofsky is ped
der and was seated upon his wagon
when Mr. Bostwick, who is a carpenter,
turned oral dispute into actual conflict
by stabbing at him with a chisel, said
implement being of the kind termed
"rippingv by the craft.
The howl of anguish emitted by Mr..
Brodofsky when the chisel punctured him
attracted the attention of his helpmeet,
and the tree limb, twice as long and al
most as thick as herself being the only
weapon instantly available she seized it
and went to the help of her sorely-beset
spouse Mr. Bostwick was trying most
strenuously to make another incision in
Mr. Brodofsky's person when the tree
limb smote his neck and incapacitated
him for further combat.

an" said q special attorney for the prose

Sabbath evening peace of the second
block on O'FarreIl street by rolling upon
a sidewalk and shrieking hyena-like when
a policeman arrested him, and to Judge
Mogan he pleaded that his hilarity was
uncomfortable.
Il had just heard Miss Mildred Man
ming, young and pretty soubrette, sing
= For You and You For Me-" he elu-
csdated, "and the things she said between
verses to a man in the audience, who
locked very much like your Honor, were
so funny that l had to rush out to keep
my sides from splitting. She's swell
jcsher. Don't you think so?''
