After hearing the testimony in the case, Judge Lockwood recalled the time, not many years ago. when the accused was counted a desirable mem- ber of the community and warned him that he was now going the way which led only to the gutter. The judge no- ticed the sneer on Toner's face and re- minded him that he was probably in such a condition as not to be able to asslmulate the importance of what was being said to him, but never-the-leus urged him to turn back from the course he was pursuing and make a man of himself again. The judge also said that it was extremely distasteful to him to try the accused on such a charge as was preferred against him. in the complaint it was alleged that Toner went homedrunk about mid- night May 2 and made existence very unpleasant for his wife. Mrs. Toner testified that on the night in question he threw a loaf of bread at her, thrust; a lamp under her nose, broke dishes. said he was going to cut her face off and told her If she said a wozi he would kill her. For several weeks Toner has been working in Georgetown and returned on Memorial Day. Captain Thomas Hunt saw him and locked him up. bringing another charge of intoxication against him. The officer admitted that Toner was not helpless. though he was intoxicated. Judge Lockwood ac- quitted him on this charge, but fined him $7 and costs on one of the counts for the affair at his house and 37 more for another at the some time. Toner immediately took an appeal. The witnesses against Toner were his wifes and ten year old son Alexan- der. The child cried. but the judge by kindly questioning finally got the story out of him. Later Toner decided that it would be better to pay up than to go to the higher court with the casc. and accord- ingly sclllcd. A Hard Case for the Judge. The case of Willie Pogoc, thirteen vcai‘s of age was a hard one for the judge and be expressed himself in no uncertain terms to the mother. Mrs. Joseph Quick. if was evident that. the mother want,- cd the boy sent to the slate reform school. The case first came up a month ago when the woman said that fhcboy had been sfcnliug money from her purse and that ho was unmanage- able. it developed this morning that the boy had been doing some work in the meantime and find turned over money he had received to his mother. Several of the lud's good deeds since the cusp first was brought. to the judge was suppressed by the molher until lhc judge questioned her very closcly. The judge reminded her that this was a peculiar state of-nl'falrs and asked her if it was not a fact that she was trying to get. rid of the boy. Her pre sent husband is the boy‘s stepfather. The latter claimed that the boy is gin-u good cure and that he is treated kindly. The judge continued the case for another month in order that he may make some inquiries. In the meantime he advised the man and wo- man to use a little more kindness with tho lad. He also warned the mother that she had a duty to perform toward the boy. Jordon in Jail Again. Garrett Jorduu certainly exemplifies the old familiar story of the Irishman section man on a railroad who is re- porting a. train wreck by telegraph wrote: “Off again. On again. Gone again. Finnegan.“ Only in his case it was "In again. Out again. Drunk again. Jordan." Garrett was scnt to jail some thirty days ago for assault on his In-otlfcr-in-Iftw. He got out again and had another motion with his brother-lu-law. He was arrested again. tried again. given thirty days ago. but execution of sentence was suspended. Yesterday. however. Garrett became drunk again. was arrested again and sent to jail again. TEARING COAT SAVED HIS LIFE.

May 3l.—-ln if statement issued last night. Assisiaut‘ District Attorney Francis J. Honey,l head of the graft prosecution. oulIIn-i ed the policy' of the men who have‘ made possible the indictment of ncar-, ly a score of San Francisco wealthy capitalists, denounces as malicious fal. schoods the charges which have been made that. thc prosecutors are Influen-I ccd by political motives and openlyi charges flint some of the most power- ful financial interests of the country: have been brought into the battle on the side of the alleged bribe givers. Honey declares that the greatest cri- sis ln the graft exposure is now at hand. and that the greatest crisis in} the history of San Francisco goes side} by side with it. A meeting was held; a short time ago, he says, at which President Patrick Calhoun, of the IInIt-' ed Railroads. called together a number| of the heads of lhe largest San Fran- cisco banks and sought their aid through a thinly veiled request for; backing in the carrying on of the cur strike. The powerful influence which he set at work to injure the prosecution. Honey says, have been hampering the prosecutors. as they have raised a son- timcnf of doubt as to the real motives behind the investigation. Admitting that the sixteen confessed bribe takers on the board of super- visors havc been promised immunity from prosecution. chcy declares that this step was essential to the carrying out of the work at hand. He stated that cvery effort to gain legal proof of corruption and bribery deals failed until the confessions were secured from the supervisors. and that. to se- cure ihese the promise of immunity was given. In answer to the cry which he said. had been raised by the capitalist in this city that. the supervi— sors shall be punished. he points out that while the prosecutors were labor- ing for months to obtain proof con- cerning the briberies, none of the alleged bribe givers came forward to their assistance but. that. as soon as they became involved, they raised the cry of "punish the bribe takers and let us go free.” Honey asks the pertinent qu'stion: “Which is the man who should be pun- ished for the crime if one must be allowed to go free-the confessed bribe faker or the confessed bribe giver?" “Let us show,” he continues." that no man however wealthy he may be. is greater than the law. Let us prove that the power of’ wealth cannot cor- rupt our courts and prevent the carry- ing out of justice." l _.__.___._..
