IT READS LIKE A ROMANCE
A Divorce Suit Out of the Gen
eral Routine on Trial
THE STORY OF A MARRIAGE
Why Mrs. Harriett Orr is Seeking a
Lefal Separation
Busby, the Negro Poisoner, Sentenced to
Folsom for Life—The Johns Rape
I rial Continued -Court Notes
The trial of a divorce suit somewhat out
of the general run waa commenced before
Judge McKinley yesterday, and will be
continued today. It is entitled Harriet K.
Orr vs. U. <>. Orr, and is really brought by
the young woman to determine whether or
not she is legally married and to clear up
her good name. The plaintiff is repre
sented by Messrs. Davis and Kubli, while
the interests of the defendant are looked
after by 1». K. Trask.
The plaintiff was un the stand during the
greater part of the afternoon, during
which time a deposition and a number of
letters were introduced. The plaintiff,
who is a rather good-looking young
woman, told her story in an unaffected,
straightforward manner that carried con
viction with it and impressed those who
heard it with the fact that she was telling
the truuth.
Briefly stated, the facts as set forth in
the case are aa follows: In 1893 the
plaintiff, whose maiden name was Harriet
X, Halborn, was a waitress in the Corfu
restaurant, on South Spring street, be
tween First and Second. Orr, who was a
clerk in the employ of Banning Bros., took
his meals at the Corfu, and in a short time
appeared to be deeply smitten with the
handsome waitress. He made love to the
girl in regular form and dually proposed
marriage to her. As he was not in a posi
tion financially to support a wife. Orr pro
posed to the gil l that they bo married se
cretly, promising that when he was able to
support a wife they would make it public.
Accordingly the couple went out to Pasa
dena, where, the girl says, an old man
with white hair married them according to
the Episcopal ritual.
They then returned to Los Angeles in the
carriage that took tl em out, and entered on
marital relations, clandestinely of course.
The couple occupied rooms together at
various hotels and lodginghoitsos, register
ing under fictitious names. Utter the girl
says that Orr showed Iter what he said was
a marriage certificate, and she thought
everything was tegular and straight. The |
girl continued to serve as a waitress in '
various restaurants, not only in Los An- |
geles. but at Riverside and other places, ;
but always kept up a correspondence with j
< )rr, addressing him as husband and he as j
wile. Finally, last April, Orr's affections ;
began to cool, and he began to pay marked
attention to another young woman. This
fact coming to Mrs. Orr's ears, she called
her husband to account, when he informed
her that they had never been legally mar
ried, and that the Pasadena ceremony was
a fraud. On tills statement Mrs. Orr
brought suit for divorce to settle her
status.
One of the features yesterday afternoon
was the reading of Orr's letters. They are
very affectionate, much more so than the
average, and would seem to bear out Mrs.
Orr's statement. In every instance she is
addressed as "Darling little wile," etc.,
and the contents of tlie letters leave no
room for doubt that .marital relations ex
isted between the couple.
Judge Shaw yesterday granted two
divoices. John Oertle was given a decree
divorcing him from his wife Annie on the
grouud of desertion, adultery, etc. Nancy
J. Mulford was divorced from her husband.
Jacob Mulford, on the ground of non
support.
In the divorce suit of Mrs, J. L. WHitson
vs. L. X. Whitson. decided by Judge Smith
some days ago, his honor yesterday made
an order modifying the decree.
Late Monday afternoon Judge McKinley
gave Mrs. Rena I*. McLean a decree
divorcing her from her husband.
The Johns Trial
The Johns rape trial was continued be
fore Judge Smith yesterday. Defectives
Hawley and Long corroborated the testi
mony of Detective Auble, after which Ben
Goodrich, Esq., testified for the people,
when the prosecution rested.
Mrs. Mattio Johns, wife of the defendant,
testified to the bad character of the child
Leona for truth and veracity, and M. B
Johns, a brother, testified that he had
called to -co his sister at Policeman Long's
house, but had been refused admittance.
J. T. K. Johns, the defendant, then took
the stand in his own behalf. He denied
ever having had criminal intercourse with '
his daughter, flatly contradicting the
officers who detected him in the act. The
fellow made a very poor showing as a wit
nees, and did not Help his case, as the in
consistencies were so glaring that no one
believed that he was telling the truth.
Two or three other witnesses followed, but
no new facts were brought out. The trial
will be continued today.
Imprisonment for Life
Judge Smith yesterday sentenced W. J.
the negro poisoner convicted of
murder in tho first dogreo for causing the
death of Thompson and Martin, the Santa
Fe> railroad men who drank some wine
from a bottle "doctored" by Busby for a
colored porter whose job he desired to get,
to imprisonment for life. When asked if
he had anything to say why sentence
should not bo pronounced. Busby replied
that he did not have a fair trial, when
asked in what respect, he replied that wit
nesses had been kept back, by whom he
expected to prove his good character.
Judge Smith remarked that this cut no Hg
ui c, and said that the jury should have
hung him. The judge ordered the commit
ment held back one day. A notice of ap
peal was tiled.
Range! Sentenced
Edward Kangot, convicted of rape on the
person of Adrienne Pavlides, the 13-year
old daughter of the Greek consul, was yes
terday sentenced by Judge Shaw to five
years' imprisonment in San Quentin peni
tentiary. Twenty days were allowed in
which to file bill of exceptions.
A number of the members of the French
colony have taken considerable interest in
liangot, and it is said that a fund will be
raised to take the case to the supreme
court. It is also claimed that a cablegram
has been received to the effect that there
ia no record of the birth of the child Ad
rienne in the place in Franoe where she is
said to have been born.
Say They Are Public Nuisances
Deputy District Attorney Willis yester
day issued two complaints.one each against
John Bacigalapi and John Doe Edwards,
proprietor* of oil refineries, charging them
witb maintaining a nuisance. One of tho
refineries is located in the Eighth ward
down toward the river,between the V of tli3
Southern Pacific and Santa Fe tracks.
The other is near tha corner of Second and
Beaudry streets.

CHANGES IN THE MILITIA
Arrangement of the Companies of the
First Brigade
Col. Schreiber a Candidate For His Former
Position—Rumors of a Dark Horse.
Renk end File Well Pleased
Since the inauguration of the present ad
' ministration there have been several mate
i rial changes in the affairs of the state
I militia, but none of sucb a sweeping nature
|as the recent action known as general or
' der No. 16, which is as follows:
"First Brigade—The Seventh and Ninth
; regiments are consolidated into three bat
! talions of infantry of four companies each,
as follows: First battalion, companies A,
, B. C and E, Seventh infantry, to be known
as companies A, 1), C and F, respectively,
First battalion; Second battalion, compa
nies D and E, Seventh infantry, aud com
panies D and E. Ninth infantry, to be
known as companies H, E, I and X, re
spectively, Second battalion; Third bat
talion, companies F, C and G, Ninth in
fantry, to be known as companies L, M
and G, respectively. Third battalion: com
panies A and B, Ninth infantry, are hereby
consolidated as company B, 1 bird battal
i ion.
"Lieutenant Colonel John R. Berry,
Ninth Infantry, and Major Samuel T.
Black, Seventh Infantry, are hereby as
signed to duty with the First Battalion;
Lieutenant Colonel J. L. Howland, Seventh
Infantry, and Major F. T. Prescot, Ninth
Infantry, are assigned to duty with the
Second Hatallion; Major Charles S. Mc-
Kelvey, Ninth Infantry, is assigned to duty
with the Third Hatallion.
"Sec. 2. Col. 11. P. Bush, First Infantry;
Col. J. W. Guthrie, Second Infantry; Col.
J. C. O'Connor, Third Infantry; Col. 1). B.
Fairbanks, Fifth Infantry: Col. J. J.
Nunan, Sixth Infantry; Col. W. G. Sciiroi
ber, Seventh Infantry; Col. Park Hensha,
Eighth Infantry, and Col. E. B. Spileman,
Ninth Infantry, and Col. William McDon
ald, Second Artillery, are hereby relieved
from the command of their respective
regiments and placed on waiting orders.
"Sec. 3. In companies where no con
solidations have been nrnde the present
company otflcers remain intact. The of
ficers of the new companies formed by
consolidation are as follows:
"First Brigade—Third battalion, Cos. A
and Bto be known as Co. B. Third battal
lion, captain, Richard V. Dodge; first lieu
tenant, Edward F. Brown: second lieuten
ant. .1. C. Mielke."
The above changes havo naturally
created n great deal of talk among militia
men generally. Out of the few who wero
relieved of their command the new order
is received with satisfaction. A number
of officers and privates interviewed yester
day expressed themselves unqualifiedly
in favor of the change. Much interest
centers in the election of a new colonel.
Colonel W. <>. Schreiber is a candidate for
his former position and is considered
favorably by most of the men of his stall.
Some- mystery, however, envelopes the
situation, and numerous rumors are cir
culated to the effect that a dark horse will
appear with a strong backing. All are
eager to have the matter settled.
Californie Club.
The California Club will hold a special
meeting tomorrow evening for the purpose
of deciding the matter of selecting new
quarters. Next Saturday evening the reg
ular annual election of officers will occur.
nTbe following have been chosen as nor-
inees by the nominating committee: CA.
Marriner, F. S. Hicks, W. B. Cline, J. 0.

MADAME RUMPP WITHDREW
No Vole on Ihe Sycamore Grove
Saloon License
THE POLICE BOARD'S SESSION
Jean Reppert Wants to Open tbe
Horseshoe
One l.lcrnse Is Revoked end Musical Resorts
Are to Be Squelched -Frank Hoffman
i Set Down Upon
The individual members of the board of
police commissioners did not have an op
portunity to all of them go upon record
yesterday in the matter of the application
of Madame Wllhelmina Rurapp for a
saloon license for the more or lOss favor
ably known Sycamore Grove. John L.
Mitchell represented the Madame before
the board and (Commissioner Cook had
formally moved that the license be not
granted. Attorney Mitchell, with an eye
to the main chance, withdrew the applica
tion of his client, anil the battle was at an
end.
Commissioner Cuy l!."Barham""occupied
the chair throughout the meeting, every
member being present excepting tho
mayor or his understudy. Colonel Teed.
Jean Reppert, who has for years divided
with Theodore Bauor the peculiar honor of
ruling over the crib district on Alameda
street, made an application for a license I
for what will go down in local history as
the somewhat notorious "Horseshoe."'
The application was, amid a somewhat
audible smile, referred to Chief Glass
for investigation. Harry Monaban,
who aspires to conduct the resort
known as "Tho Basket,'' located
on Ferguson alley, was set down upon in
his professional ambition very hard. Jean
Reppert has been the old owner of the re
sort, and the police records were adverse
to Monaban, who is a well known member j
of the local sporting fraternity, who has i
had the misfortune to have been in the |
j a dice court upon one occasion as the angel
interested in a crap game. Commissioner I
Wirsching made the motion which quieted j
Monahan's solon aspirations, and it went
through without a voice seeking to steer
wrong the hand of cruel fate.
Detective Auble, on December Ist, found
liquor being sold at '-"-"J Commercial street,
aud as a result, Samuel BormolT, the owner
of the place at that address, had his license
yesterday revoked.
S. W. Luitweiler <S- Co. reported to the
board that last Sunday night Officer Mas
) tiiszkivviiz, while pursuing a fleeing prison
er, fell through a large plate glass window
of their store on Los Angeles street, de
molishing the same, which to repair will
cost $71. The matter was referred to the
chief.
A protest against the indiscriminate play
ing and thumping of instruments in the
saloon at llli Commercial st.eet was re
ferred to the chief. The latter expressed
himself as being opposed to music in any
drinking resort.
There is at present an ordinance prohib
iting all such nusisances in any place ex
cepting the Palace and the Vienna buffet,
which it is probable will at once be en
forced.
Frank Hoffman made another applica
tion for a saloon license at 255 Wolfskill
avenue, and the same was denied with a
request, which will probably not be for
warded, that Hoffman cease his unwelcome
attentions to the board.
The board yesterday indorsed., favorably.
| the contemplated lease of the premises of
j Judge J. W. Hendrick on Boyle Heights for
lan additional city prison for four months
lat $15 a month, the rent to be paid in ad
vance. The matter is to bo acted upon by
the council today.
The request of the California Stale Pro
tective association that - municipal legisla
tion be enacted to compel druggists who
sell spirituous or malt liquors to pay the !
regulation wholesale liquor license, was
approved of, and the necessary ordinances
were ordered to be adopted by tlie govern
ing body of the city.
The following applications for saloon
licenses were granted: S. G, Aladino, at I
080 Upper Main street; Charles Holm, at
230 East Fifth street; Arbuokle & Wat
eon, at 141*143 East Los Angeles street;
BoraatlCO it Pagliano, at 430 North Main
street.
Applications as follows were referred to !
the chief to investigate: Seglie A Under
wood, at 21! 1 West Fourth street; George '
Michelaen at 7(13 South Main street; Ben |
i Gray, at 501 East First street; Savage
Bros., at lot! North Main street; Jean
Reppert, at 740 North Alameda street; !
John Ghio, at 1556-8 San Fernando street.
The application of A. C. Vignes to be
I appointed upon the police force was filed,
: and the application of City Clerk Charles
! Luckenbach that P. M. Hickman be ap- 1
pointed a special officer for duty at the
! city hall at night without pay was referred
' to the chief.
Before consenting to the lease of the
' Hendricks property for additional prison
| quarters, Commissioner Wirsching insisted
that all of the offenders there incarcerated
i must, when discharged, bo brought down i
to the central station before they are
turned loose, as he did not care to have
Boyle Heights overrun with an undesirable
element.
LADIES' BENEVOLENT SOCIETY
The Election of Officers for the Coming Year
Accomplished
The regular annual meeting' for the
discussing of business and electing of offi
cers of the Ladies' Benevolent socity was
held yesterday afternoon at the residence
of Mrs. Uncommon, on South Grand
avenue.
Mrs. Josephine Butler presided in the
chair. The minutes of the last meeting
were read, which contained the routine
work of reports and the vote of thanks
which had been extended to Mrs. De Barth
Shorb for the prompt action which she
took in turning over to the society the
$500 legacy left them by the late Mrs.
Aguire. A slight change was made in the
constitution. The regular monthly meet
ings that have been held were dispensed
with, and hereafter the meetings will be
