ROW OVER DOGS BOARD.
Boarding House Mistress Demands 81
for Caring for Canine.

What is the proper mount of board
to be paid for a dog?"
This question was ~propounded to
Judge Howell in the Third Precinct
Police Court this morning, the princi-
pals in the argument being f. s.
Vickery, manager of the American
District Telegraph Company, owner of
the canine in question, and Mrs. Ester
Koch, a boarding mistress, who has
been caring for the canine for several
weeks.
Mr.. Vickery some weeks ago lost a
valuable canine. He advertised his
loss. About two weeks ago, according
to her statement in court this morning,
Mrs. Koch found the animal in ques-
ton. She also advertised this fact.
Mr.. Vickery answered the advertise
ment n identified the animal as his
missing canine.
During the time h cared for the
animal Mrs. Koch said she had pur-
chased medicine for It and had other
wise cared for it. She demanded 81
a day board for the dog for twelve
days. Mr.. Vickery said this was too
much, so he appealed to the police.
Mrs. Koch was summoned before the
court to show cause why she did not
turn the animal over to its rightful
owner.
Mr.. Vickery offered the woman $3.50,
which the woman refused. The matter
viii be adjudicated this afternoon.

NEW YORK, April Ga number of
labor leaders of this city organized the
''Moyer Haywood protest conference"
today Through the chairman Thomas
Crimmins, they sent a letter to the
president demanding he make amends
for the alleged structures on Meyer and
Haywood.
The letter gives lengthy revision of
the statements attributed 20 the pres
ident and declares guilty inference is
laid upon the representatives of three
hundred labor bodies. 1t says:
Before the law Meyer and Haywood
are considered innocent until proved
guilty. In the face of the proceeding,
are you not aware your words may
prejudice the general public and possi-
bly, the jury? 1t is not too much to ask
of you to make such public amends as
a true gentleman is bound to offer
when inadvertently he made a mistake
and inflicted a grievous wrong upon
men who have nothing to do with
your personal quarrel"

intend to obey the law she replied:
IF it don't conflict with the law of
God. That is the higher law"
Reused to Indignation by the stub
born attitude of the witness Judge
Brents delivered one of the most unique
and brilliant extempore opinions which
Walla Walla lawyers, or Walla Walla
citizens. have ever heard. Ignoring for
moment the unheard-of defiance of
a witness to testify at all he proceeded
to the argument she advanced in sup
port of her position:
Il don't admit that you know the
law of God" he said. "The law of God
is the highest, but who is to say what
is the law of God. you or me? Does not
the Bible, which you say supports
your contention, say one may help a
horse out of pit on the Sabbath day?
Would you let a man go to the peni-
tentiary rather than tell something
you knew which might save him SIM
ply because it was the Sabbath?
'It is the habit of people to plead the
law of God when the civil law is not
to their liking. The Mormons said the
law of God commanded polygamy
Mrs. Thompson interrupted to ask
if all laws We're not founded on the
higher law: that her conscience would
not let her testify.
She said the judge had a right to
his opinion if he wanted it, he could
hold court and do business but she
had also a right to her opinion and she
did not propose to testify.
This country has great respect
for the law of God,' said the judge,
but it doesn't allow the people to in
terpret what shall be the laws of God.
1t is the tendency of people to attempt
to shield themselves under the plea
that what they do is the law of God. IL

WOMAN DEFES JUDGE bRENS CLAIMING RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION AS WITNESS

Mrs. Thompson was given into the
hands of Sheriff Haviland by the court
and the latter was instructed to i'm
prison her for 90 days. A formal COM
mitment will be signed by the judge
later sentencing her to 20 days for
contempt of court She is now in the
county Jail.
The latest thing which has leaked
out in connection with this eXtraOrdi-
nary case is that religious scruples are
not the real grounds for her failure to
testify.
These are said to have been thought
of as an excuse only last night. She
told an attorney yesterday who saw
her in reference to testifying in the
Ford case that she would not testify on
account of offending people at the Del
monico lodging house.
She was to testify that young ArgO-
bast was given to associating with dis
reputable women who lived in the
house. She refused to do this saying
that although she knew such women
lived there she would lose her job as
chambermaid if she told on them. She
even refused to give her name to the
attorney. The religious excuse for nor
testifying is said to have been an af-
terthought of yesterday evening.

lie said he was reluctant to punish
her but he thought he would have to
imprison her for 20 days She was
given to the custody of the sheriff
who was instructed to watch her care
fully.
81 don't care what he does to me. I
won't testify" said Mrs E.. N. Thomp-
son to Statesman representative. HE
can put me in Jail if he wants to- He
said he would for 20 days. l don't
care"
She said she was member
of the Seventh Day Adventist church
OF Walla Walla but it was not because
of any teachings or instructions of the
church that she failed to testify. It
was matter of her own conscience.
IF it was an act of mercy it would
be all right. 1 would do it on the Sab
bath but this running of the court
looks to me just like business and l
won't do it 1 would do it on any
other day though
Mrs. Thompson seemed inclined to
take up the point raised by Judge
Brents in the way of rebuttal saying:
He said this was a Christian nation.
If so why are the penitentiaries full ?
We can't even enforce our civil law,
let alone the higher law
She said she had been working for
the Delmonico house for two years and
had lived in Walla Walla for the past
five years.
She is the mother of Goldy Thomp-
son, who was arrested some time since
for disorderly conduct and spent sew
eral days in the county Jail.

TO CLOSE THE
BAD DELM0N|C0
Court and Prosecutor De-
eide House Is Not Moral

Proceedings against the DelmonicO
lodging house, as a disorderly house.
will be begun in the superior court.
AS the result of testimony brought
out in the sodomy case of the negro
William Ford. in the court this morn
ing. Prosecuting Attorney Rupp an
nounced just before noon he would file
an information against the place which
has long borne an unsavory reputa-
ton.
The language of the prosecutor was
sharp and direct. He said:
1T seems from some evidence
brought out here this morning that this
place harbors undesirable people. If 1
can get the proper witnesses to prove
this l will begin proceedings at once
L will put you next to the wit
nesses." said Attorney Barker, who
was defending Ford, the negro.
"All right 1 will file an informa-
tion." said Rupp.
Judge Brents said: Perhaps if we
don't succeed in convicting him for
crime (the Ford case) we will get on
the track of some others this morning"
Attorney Rupp stated to a represen-
tat1ve of The Statesman after court
adjourned for the noon recess he would
file the information as soon as it was
possible to get around to it. probably
within two or three days.
The Delmonico lodging house has
long borne the reputation of being
place of vice. Many crimes have
been committed there within the past
four years. Among these are cases
where young girls of the city have
consorted with negro soldiers from the
fort
1t is not known yet just what the
specific testimony against the present
inmates of the house is but il is
thought there will be sufficient to Sc
cure a conviction.
