but now she was WallOWlnB occply Al
the trough of doubt. Indeed she was
rather inclined to regard the entire
fabric of African superstition as q de-
lusion, not to say g. snare.
When the defendant visited her ano
declared she was afflicted with unre-
requited love Miss Alexander said ne
won her confidence, because he told
the truth. She would not deny that
for months her heart had been In the
keeping of dusky gentleman whose
physical grace, fistic prowess and in
tellectual charm had made him the
coveted of many females Of his race.
He was unconscious Of her alteration
and she had never told a living soul
mot even her closest. conf1dante, Miss
Anasfatia s16hnson of whom the court
might have heard-that she had "a
feelin'" for any particular member OF
the opposite sex. Therefore when, the
voodoo man said she was sick at soul
and diagnosed the ailment she knew
that he was not prompted by hearsay,
and when he offered to quickly bring TO
her feet the one for whom she pined
bargain was struck on the spot

Nothing but disappointment reward
ed Miss Alexander's experiment with
the stone and when she accused the
magician of fraud and demanded the
return of her investment he created
such a disturbance that she was COM
PEELED to summon police aid. She IN
cidentally averred that he attempted to
steal her purse, but that part or the
testimony was stricken out as irrele-
want and several other things.
Mr. Rafael whose hair was bushy,
! opined that If Miss Alexander had
given his lodestone full and fair op-
! portunity to exercise it's charm she
would have had no ground for COM
plaint He had explicitly instructed
/ her to place the stone under her Pill
low. but that she neglected to do, thus
| leaving the object of her tender de-
! sire perfectly free to dream Of some
other person or not to dream at all,
whereas If she had done as she was
told he could not possibly have
| dreamed of any one else than herself.
After the Iodestone had been exam
| ined by the court--it looked like frag-
ment of Telegraph Hill-the defend
ant was pronounced guilty and re-
manded for sentence.
Gus scobie and Henry Mccarthy
were accused Of breaking into the
stable attached to J. ]. Linehan's gro
cerv at Twenty-fifth and Bryant
streets, and stealing therefrom set
of harness, with which they rode
away in wagon, which was taken
without its owners permission. Pa
trolmen Graham and Harrison ar
rested them, and Judge Conlan con-
tinued their case till tomorrow.
Five large pasteboard boxes con-
tanned the children's wear which
James B. Smith had packed for re-
moval from the store Of Max Charlie
| 764 Market street. after he had ef-
| fected an entrance at a o'clock yes
terday morning by. smashing plate
glass panel of the front door. Pa
| troImen Tillman and Heinrich caught
him behind the counter, where he was
busily engaged in slowing his plum
der, and Judge Cabaniss sent him to
the Superior Court for trial, with bail
fixed at $4,000. Smith is young feI-
low and apparently a novice in bur-
glary.
oliver Sands, charged with having
attempted to murder Max Dunow
failed to appear in Judge Fritz's court
when the case was called. and the
$1,000 cash bail which he had de-
posted was ordered forfeited.
