when she either carelessly or willfully
bumped the partition with her fists and
various household implements, including

But both Mrs. Goldman and her daugh-
ter averred that the latter was most fe-
rociously assailed by Mr.. Ellis, who en-
tered the Goldman home as the preda-
tory wolf swoops upon the fold. The
Judge, however. apparently considered
the old mans unsupported word of more
value than the corroborated narrative OF
his accuser and so stated while dismiss
ing the case.
Two and a half years ago Mrs. L. Lo-
gan, then managing an apartment house
at I136 Ellis street, missed a diamond
ring valued at $3.50 from her room, and
when she informed Detective .Braig of
her suspicion that the thief was =. c.
Gray, one of her boarders. the man had
fed TO Chicago and thus eluded service
of a warrant charging him with felony
embezzlement. The ring was discovered
in possession Of barber to whom Mr..
Gray had sold 1t for s125, and soon after
a. T ,-fo tar
residence to Los Angeles. Mr.. Gray
found employment as drummer for the
Armour Packing Company and no at
tempt was made to molest him until he
lost his position and indiscreetly returned
to this city in quest of another one. The
lynx-eyed Braig saw and recognized him
and quietly summoned Mrs. Logan from
the southland to file complaint. and yes
terday he was arraigned before Judge
Fritz on the charge of grand larceny, the
embezzlement accusation being deemed
defective. Mrs. Logan, statuesque bru-
nette, is staying at the Palace Hotel and
Mr. Gray, who is misery personified, is
receiving callers in the City Prison. The
case will be heard tomorrow. Since the
ring was stolen and recovered Mrs. Lo-
gan married a Mr.. Buhler, whose name
she relinquished when she separated from
him, and Mr.. Gray became a benedict in
Chicago.
Mrs. Mildred Conrad of 1315A Ellis
street told Judge Cabaniss that Edith
Fitzgerald, whom she had employed as
housemaid, stole clothing and Jewels
from her and then confessed the theft
and returned the plunder. After being
forgiven and allowed TO retain her place,
Edith repeated her larcenous conduct.
Mrs. Conrad averred. and it was for so

with petty larceny. Edith promised to
put up a strong defense to-day
Peter Fl. Lucero. barber who once
did business at 262 O'Farrell street,
ignored Judge Fritz's order that he con-
tribute Il few dollars a month toward
the maintenance of his minor child, SO
the Judge commanded that he be de-
tanned in custody until he obtained
cash bail in the sum of $100.
"You have displayed such extraordin-
ary inability to raise SIS for the sup
port of your infant" said his Honor
to Mr.. Lucero, that I deem it proper
to spur up your 'hustling capacity by
compelling you to raise 500 for you,
own comfort"
Trevor Lauman, Il conductor on the
Sutter-street car line, declared he was
ather-in-law. 1t was the latter per-
son. Len Sledge by name, who appeared
as complainant against young Mr. Lau-
man on the charge of failing to provide
for his two -months-old babe, and Mrs
Sledge was also in Judge Mogan's court
to push the prosecution.
We've been married year" said the
defendant to the Judge, "and we'd a-zot
along all right If her mother and IA

richer man for husband, and when 7

live with my wife unless her parents
let US alone"
The young wife silently wept as her
spouse narrated the cause of their sepa-
ration.
You young people go into my cham
bers and talk 1t over" said his Honor.
land think you can arrive at an amfc-
able understanding. And to you. Mr..
Sledge, and your wife, I would suggest
that you interfere as little as possible
in your daughters married life. Don't
forget that her first duty is to her hus-
band, the father of her child"
Mr.. and Mrs. Lauman retired to the
seclusion of the Judges office, and there.
