PLEA BY MOTHER
AFFECTS COURT
Judge Richards Gives Four
Year Old Child of William
OBrien to the Wife

mothers plea for her child caused
Judge Richard yesterday to order that
Edwin William O'Brien, year old son
of Rose C. and William j. OBrien9 who
are seeking a divorce. be given into
the care of Mrs OBrien until the court
shall decide which Of the parents Is
entitled to an intcrlocutory decree and
the custody OF the little one.
Mrs OBrien. buyer for the millinery
department of I. Magnin Co. charges
her husband with cruelty and neglect.
O Brien. who is a teamster. denied the
accusations and alleges that his wife
treated him cruelty.
That O'Brien visited her home at
Oakland on her vacation few days
ago. and after asking to see the child,
ran away with him, was one of the
principal accusations made by the wife.
She also declares he pointed a pistol at
her, choked her and forced her to seek
employment while he lived in fdleness.
O'Brien presented evidence that Mrs.
O'Brien went to nickel dances. He put
Charles and ". r. Schuster, Mrs.
OBrien's brothers, on the stand to show
that she stayed out late at night. Mrs.
IO'Brien called her youngest brother,
John Schuster, to contradict the testi-
mony of the other brothers.
| 1t Is probable that the court will de-
eide the case next Monday and until
that time the boy will remain with the
mother.

LOS ANGELES, July 3o.-In SEN
fencing Henry Stearns to q fve year
term for statutory offense, Judge
Frank Oster of San Bernardino, sit
ting in special sessions of the superior
court. declared that the transparent
dress" of modern women and girls
were responsible for an increase of
crime such as that for which Stearns
was sent to San Quentin today.
There can be no palliation of your
offense." said Judge Oster in sentencing
Stearns, but 1t Is apparent to me
after q study of conditions that the
outrageous lack OF modesty on the
part OF thousands of women and young
girls contribute in large degree to such
offenses.'
The judge added that the slit skirt

Charqed with Embezzlement.

|. n Best, a negro, was placed
under arrest by police officers this
morning upon complaint of ]. S. Da-
Wis, an east side grocer, and turned
over to the county authorities upon
a charge of embezzlement. Best, it
is alleged, was entrusted with a
twenty dollar bill by the grocer long
enough to go out and get it changed.
He seemingly effected a change of
the presto variety, for when he re-
turned he was minus both the bill
and its equivalent in broken amounts
When questioned by the rightful own
er he ayerred that he had lost the
twenty Inasmuch as he had only re E.
NAMED from the groceryman's place
of business fifteen minutes, his story
of the loss was seriously doubted.
This doubt has resulted in Best's con-
fincment behind the bars.
