did not have to sign the usual

to drop around to the office of the

taken such and such a trip on state

little for Mr.. Hall TO say in his

voucher bears the date of June 3,
1905, and covers expenses from
April II TO May 81. On May 2, Mr.
Hall charged the staSe s14.40 for a
trip to Sioux Falls and on May Is,

MOTHER IN COURT

TAKES HEART MEDICINE WITH

Combination Results In Her Being
Brought Into Police Court, Where
a Nominal Fine Is Assessed-Says
Her Child Was Kidnapped

A woman claiming to be a close rela-
tive of Mrs. Potter Palmer of Chicago,
and of General Grant, as well as hav-
ing a speaking acquaintance with dig
nitaries and celebrities, was yesterday
morning taken before Police Judge
Chambers to answer to a charge OF
drunkenness.
Regardless of her efforts to defend
herself from the penalty of the law by
heaping upon herself all the leaves OF
her alleged family tree, Judge Cham
bers fined her 49, while the audience
smiled pityingly.
The woman, who gave her name as
Mrs. Anna Turano, is handsome but
slovenly dressed. She appeared to be
about So, and gave evidence OF some re-
finement in manner and speech.
She pleaded guilty to the charge OF
drunkenness, but defended herself by
saying that she had taken some es-
sence of passion flower mixed with
ardent spirits to benefit her heart.
The woman claims she came to Los
Angeles short time ago in an effort
to find her boy, who she says was kid
naped.
Her husband, from whom she has
been separated. is said to live on West
Thirtieth street.
