GRAND LARCEN Y CHARGED. A Pathetic Scene In a London Police Court—Testimony For the Prosecu- ' tion—The Case Will Have An- other Hearing Next Week. LONDON, Oct. 14. —-At;-_-Marlborough street police court today ‘Mr. and Mrs. Walter M. Castle, the wealthy residents 01 San FranCIsco, who were. arrested at the Hotel. Cecil on last Tuesday charged with stealing a quantity of furs, etc., from various dealers in this city, were arraign- ed on remand, and after a short hearing were ,again remanded for'a.week, bail _be-_ ing allowed in the sum of $150,000. The courtroom 'was packed with spec- tators long before it was time to call the case of the Castles. James R. Roosevelt, secretary of the United States embassy, and H. Hodson, one of the underscore- taries of the embassy. Were seated on a specially reserved bench. Mhand‘ Mrs. Castle entered the courtroom. at 11:45. Mr.‘ Castle first walked calmly into the dock, and a moment afterward his-wife was led in by two policemen. She sobbed violently while in the dock and. kept her handkerchief to her face. When the first witness was called, she became hysterical, and the police brought a bench, upon which she- and her husband were allowed to sit. . , Mr. Avory prosecuted for the treasury. He told the circumstances attending the arrest of the prisoners; said that he was informed by the officials of the United States embassy that Mr. and Mrs. Castle bore a high reputation in San Farncisco, and produced a long list of articles found among the Castles' effects. He said~ that it was not a case of waaltny persons buy- ing goods which they‘ did not intend to pay for, but itwas a regular case of shop- lifting. He said he would not read‘tha Whole list of articles which it was claimed were stolen, but he begged to call the at- tention of the magistrate to the follow- ing: Eighteen tortoise shell combs, 7 hand mirrors, 2 sable boas, 2 muffs, 2 neckties, 7 gold watches, QOIOcks, 17 valu~ able fans, 16 brooches, 7 tortoise shell eye- glasses, 2 plated toast racks marked “Ho- tel Cecil,” and a large number of smaller articles and trinkets of less value. The First Witness. Mr. Harris of Jade 8a Harris. furrlers, of Regent street was the first witness called by the prosecution. He teetified that Mr. and Mrs. Castle, accompanied by their son, visited his storetogether upon three occasions. Mrs. Castle did most of the talking, and the party separated while in the store, going to different counters, the boy, inthe meanwhile, running about. After the departure or the Castles some sable boas and some chinchilla‘skins'were missed, and the suspicions of the members of the firm were aroused. .Miss, Edith Evans, =a’ saleswoman in the employ oi Jeff &=Harris, confirmed the evidence fur- ’ nished’by Mr. Han-is. Counsel for the treasury department at this stage of the proceedings made an at- tempt to prove that Mr. Castle accom- panied his wife and'son upt‘ each occa- sion, but after considerable legal fenc— ing the witnesses became so tangled up that they could not say definitely that he formed one of the party every time Mrs. Castle visited the store. ' . T. C. Cook, manufacturing furrier of Great Portland street, testified that Mrs. Castle came to his shop on Oct. 5. She said she was to sail on the following Tues- day and asked if a sable cape could be made in time for her to take it with her. Cook called at the Hotel Cecil later, as she said she had. some sables for this cape which he was to match. While he was there Mrs. Castle left the room, and Cook examined the package of furs she had. He saw some Well known marks and agreed to make the cape. Her husband came in at about that time and gave his assent to the bargain. Detective Cunningham described the ar- rest of Mr. Castle, who, witness said, ex- claimed: “There is,some mistake. I will pay anything rather than have this charge pressed. I know nothing about it.” Manager Field of Charles D. Drobig, the furrier of Argyll street, told practical- ly the same story as Mr. Harris, except that Mr. Field testified under cross examina- tion that the furs were in such a position on the counters of his store that Mrs. Cas- tle could not have taken them. The Inspector’s Evidence. Inspector Arrow of the metropolitan police described the finding of the effects alleged to have been stolen. He said they were in six trunks and in the wardrobe oi the Castle’s room at the Hotel Cecil. The plated toast racks were found at the bot tom of one of the trunks and were covered with clothing. F. A. Margraf of Margret, Simms & Co., furriers, of Mortimer street said that on Oct. 2 Mrs. Castle came to his store at 4:30 p. m. and said that she wanted a chinchilla cape. Soon after that, witness added, her son entered, took out his‘watch and told his mother to come along. Ac- cording to the witness, Mrs. Castle returned on the following day and . asked to see a sable cloak. She did not- again mention the chinchilla cape. Mr. Margraf also tes- tified that he had informed Mrs. ,Castle that such a garment as she desired would cost £125, to which she replied that she could get it cheaper at some other place, and immediately afterward left the store. She was no sooner gone than a Russian sable skin valued at £8 and a chinchilla skin were missed. Mr. Margraf added: “A few days afterward the police came to my shop, and I identified my .furs at the Marlborough street police station. article bore our private mark. ” . ‘ Prosecutor Avory, at the conclusion of the testimony, asked that the prisoners be remanded for a week. Charles Mathews, for the defense, then asked that the prisoners be released on bail. He said: “We can clearly prove that Mr. Castle is entirely innocent, and that he is aman of the very highest repu-‘ tation. We do not contend that his wife is innocent, but we shall be able to prove by the testimony of physicians in court that she is sufiering from a-dlsorder which affects the mlpd. We have present four sureties and are able to give bail. ” Mrs. Castle’s Condition. Dr. Scott. the physician in charge at Holloway jail, then testified that Mrs. Castle was suffering from. intense nervous- ness, and'that further confinement in pris- on would be extremely dangerous to her. Magistrate Shell remarked: “Are not people charged with such crimes always nervous?” Dr. Scott replied: “Yes. but “I anh' not to such an extent as in thevcase of this prisoner." _ The magistrate then asked Mr. Avory if he was willing to accept 'bail. , The prosecutor replied that he was not willing to take the responsibility. Of saying yes. Mr. Shell then put the same qustion to- Inspector Arrow, but he answered that he was not able to take the responsibility of advising the magistrate toaccept bail, al- though he di_d_ not oppose the release of the prisoners on ball. The magistrate then granted the release of the prisoners on £30,000 bail, accept- ing two sureties in £5,000 ($25,000) each, and the prisoners’ own sureties of £10,000 ($50,000) each. The outsiders who gave bonds were Mr. Seymour, managing director of the Anglo- Califoruia bank, and Charles Guthrie oi Guthrie & 00., bankers, Idol lane; Lewis Weill, a watch manufacturer, of Hatton Garden, and Augustus Cohen, a diamond merchant of Holborn. Mrs. Castle was then removed, sobbing hysterically. NOW HAROOUBT RETIRBS. Liberal Leader In the Commons Follows _ ~ Boscbery's Example. LONDON, Oct. 1'4.—The St. James: Ga- zette says that Sir William Harcourt has addressed a letter to the Liberal whips re. signing the leadership of the Liberal party in the house of commons and also in- timating a desire on his part to retire from parliament altogether.

Mr. Gladstone, in which he says he is about to withdraw from parliament, re- garding such action as the best course he could pur‘sue in orderflzo show that no ignoble ambition has guided his actions. The announcement of Sir William’s vol- untary retirement may have the effect of rallying upon his side many politicians who have hitherto refrained from taking part in the agitation in regard to the lead- ' ership of the Liberal party in succession to Lord Rosebery.

Howard Gould’s Complaint. LONDON, Oct. 14.—The Pall Mall Ga- zette this afternoon, referring to the letter of the Yacht Racing association in reply to the protest of Howard Gou-ld against the examination of his yacht Niagara without his knowledge or consent, says, “The point is that after thesoandals in connection with the America’s cup the Yacht Racing association should have taken every care to avoid the slightest semblance of friction, and they might have served Mr. Gould with a more hand- some apology. ’-’ ' For the Corbett-Sharkey Fight.

Corbett and Thomas Sharkey. Every de- mand of Corbett having been conceded, it is difficult to see how he can avoid meet- ing the sailor. The same club telegraphed Fitzsimmons an offer of $10,000 to meet Sharkey in a ten round contest in San Francisco. The Australian has made no reply. National, Congress of Mothers.

He Was a Quiet-looking Man, but He Knew How to Shoot. The ticket agent at Big Bend was, not the man for the place, and he re- alized it as well as many others. He was a nice man, too, and knew his business, but he lacked sand. The fare from Big Bend to Black Hill was a dollar, but when any of the crowd wanted to go down they handed in two or three quarters, as the case might be, poked five or six inches of a re- volver through the window, and called out: “Ticket for Black Hill, waste too much time over The agent always handed Uu[ a tick- et, and pretended that things were all right, and the boys played it on him till he had to throw up his job. One day the old man left, and the new one took his place, and four or 'five of the gang went to the depot to size the latter up. When they returned to camp there was a majority and a mi- nority report. Bill Thompson was 9- ml don’t spokesman for the majority, and he said: “He’s the softest thing in these yere parts. I’m not going to buy any more tickets, but I’ll scare ’em outer him. The sight of a gun will make his h’ar curl.” ., Bob Williams was spokesman for the minority, and was also the minor- ity as well. He looked very serious as he said: ‘ “He’s a pale-faced, humble-lookin’ critter, but don’t make no mistake on him. He carries his forefinger kinder curled up, as if pulliu’ trigger, and the first man who shoves a gun in on him is goin’ to get hot lead in return.” The camp was divided on the ques- tion, and after much talk Bill Thomp- son offered to make the test and .settle the problem. In a day or two a score of us went down to witness the per- formance. We werehanging about the waiting room when in walked Bill with a whoop, and advancing to the ticket window, he grufliy inquired the fare to Black Hill. “One dollar,” was the reply. “-i dollar fur me—Bill Thompson?” “Yes, sir, for you or‘ anybody else.” “And you won’t take 8. half?” “No, sir.” “You won't take it with this thing behind it?” continued Bill, as he shoved the coin along with the muz— zle of his gun. “No, sir, and—l” There was a pop! pop! pop! and six bullets were chas- ing each other into William’s anat- only. He lost a finger, had an ear split, an eyebrow shot off, got a rake across the chin and another across the scalp, and he didn’t have time to fall until all was over. Then the agent opened the door of his ofiice. and looked us over and said: “I didn’t shoot to kill, and he isn’t hurt much. The fare to Black Hill is one dollar—exactly one dollar. Any one (else want to get to Black Hill for a quarter?” Without a word in reply we picked _Bill up and lugged him off. He was also a very silent man. We had got him all bandaged up and put to bed before he was ready to talk, and then he simply inquired: ‘ “Boys, who did all that shootin’?” “Why, the feller you said you could bluff,” answered one of the boys. “—-—l but I thought I did!” he growled as he turned his face to the wall and ,shed tears—Washington Star.

There is an old cpstom prevailing among the Tyrolese regarding pro- posals for marriage. young man pays a visit as an avowed lover he brings with him a bottleof wine, of which he pours out a glass and presents it to the object of his de- srre. . ~ If she accepts it tl‘ whole affair is settled. Very. often the girl has not yet made up “her mind; and then she will take refuge in excuses, so as not to drink the wine, and yet not refuse it point blank, for that is considered a gross insult, proving that she has been merely trifling with the affections of her lover. ' _She Will, for instance. maintain that the wine “looks sour,” or that wine disagrees with, her, or that she is afraid of getting tipsy, or that the priest has forbidden her to take any; ,in fact, she makes use of any subter~ fuge that presents itself“ at that mo— ment. . This purport of these excuses is that she has not come 'to a decision, and that the wine offering is premature. This strange custom, dating very far back (according to one account, it was known as early as the ninth cen- tury), is called “bringing the wine,” and is synonomous with the act of proposing. Shy lovers, loath to make sure of their case beforehand, find at a very happy institution. Not a. word need be spoken, and the girl is spared the painful “No” of civilization. If any of the wine is spilled or the glass of bottle broken, it is considered a most unhappy omen; in fact, there is a peasant’s saying for an unhappy marriage: “They have spilled the wine between them.” THE TRICK DIDN’T WORK. The Child Was \Villing to Accept It but the Mother Objected. A well-meaninfg young woman was covered with confusion. She read of the pretty trick that a gentleman acquaintance of mine loves to practice upon poor children—that of taking a penny out of the child’s hair and presenting it to the amazed youngster—and she thought she was an excellent opportunity. “A" shabby dressed, shoelcss girl sat next to her,» holding the hand of her mother, who was even shabbier and dirtier than the child. The lady took a nickel from her pocketbook, “palmed” it, and then said, as she seized one of the little girl’s straggling locks,~— ' “Mercy on me! What have you got in your hair?" “Nothing de mat wid her hair!” hisscd the matron. She was an Ital- ian, and her eyes blazed with anger. “Her hair all rights. I comba dis morn. You minds. your own biz!” The philanthropist paled. “You don’t understand me, madam," she gasped. “It was a trick of mine—" “No wants. any trickal” ‘ “To take this coin out of her hair and give it to her. Here, little girl.” The child reached for the nickel, but the ,mother pushed it away. “No beggar!” she said, as her eyes glowed with rage. “My man he maka dolla day. She gotta good clothes for Sunday. You go away!” And away my friend went accord- ingly.
