' _ : FORGER'S SISTER GROWS HYSTERIC SOBS IN MISERY FOR AN HOUR, UNNERVING DEPUTIES Fresno Business-Man Yields to Temp, tationand Young Woman's Lov. ing Efforts Come to -:■■ Naught ' Worn out by her efforts to secure parole for her brother and broken lfearted at his • disgrace, the sister of B F Townsend, self confessed forger, yesterday collapsed in department one o>the superior court as the deputies were about to take her brother back to his cell at the county Jail. Following the collapse came hysteria and for more than an hour the woman screamed and cried out her misery in a manner terrible to those who were Within ear shot, while her brother at tempted To. comfort her and officers rushed about to lend assistance. It was the second of such scenes with in the past six months and the. officers of the ccurt were affected by the wo man's grief as deeply as though it were their own. \ . ■ geveral months ago a forger was tak en before the court. It was arranged that a probation sentence should be asked for and it was thought that the mercy of the court would be extended him. But it was not, and he received fiva years sentence in San Quentin peni tentiary. At that time his wife was present in court and the scene was heartrending. Recently From Fresno " Yesterday was a repetition of that Scene and the details were every bit as terrible. . Townsend' was arrested during the early part of April. He had but re cently arrived' here from Fresno, where he had been engaged in business for himself. He had no bad record and he had been a hard worker, but shortly after his arrival, according to his own confession, he took a sudden wild turn and within a period of a few weeks lie had forged seventeen checks, most of them for small amounts. On April 6, according to the allega tions of the complaint against him, he forged the name of E. T. Earl to a check for $16 and then passed the check on a Mexican. -He. was- arrested, and held to the superior court for trial. Since that time his friends have been working day and night In his behalf and foremost among the workers has been his sister. Through her efforts, affidavits from leading men of Fresno, including superior Judges, were/secured to the effect that a probation sentence for Townsend would not be amiss. v Had Three Attorneys ■ The accused man was represented by three attorneys when he appeared for trial. He promptly pleaded guilty as charged and threw hlmßelf on ' the mercy of the court. . During the Interim between the pleading and the day • Utx sentence 1 Townsend's friends again came to the front and pleaded for him." . His sister felt' certain that success would crown her efforts and that her brother would be released. ' ; Yesterday the young man, tall, slen der and neatly . dressed, marched into rourt, Hli - «l»ter was the only ; spec tator there and she sat nervously watchingthe proceedings and trying_.to j control her fear. ■ As Townsend was ordered forward for sentence his sister grasped the arms of her chair and waited for the words of release. But they never came. "There are too many checks here to be. passed over lightly'," said Judge Smith. "If there was only, one check here I might feel that probation would be the right thing because of the clr- , cumstances of the case, but as It is probation is out of the question. Sentenced to San Quentin "It is the order of this court, Mr. Townsend, that you be* confined in states penitentiary at San Quentin for a term of three years.". - . Townsend turned. pale and steadied himself by holding' to 1 the edge of the clerk's desk, but his sister's grief was pitiable to see. ■'-[-_; i ■■' .'.,' ■'.-,'• !vi At the first sentence uttered by, the court she saw that probation could not be considered and she began to weep. At the sentence of the" court, however, she threw her arms about her brother's neck and fairly shrieked In her agony. "Oh,- Frank, Frank, they will take you away," she wailed, "up to the penitentiary. Oh, Frank, my brother, how. could they do it, how could they ruin you." The young man did his best to pacify his sister. The deputies hastened to help out and all thought of the prison er was lost. • . / The woman was taken to an adjoin ing room and there she sobbed out her hysteria, all the time clutching Jealous ly at her brother for fear the officers would take him from her. Finally she quieted and went to jail with him. The unfortunate young man will leave for the penitentiary today. STRIKERS MUST KEEP AWAY Judge Conrey Rules That Long. shoremen Must Stop Dis orderly Picketing In. a decision handed down yester day morning by. Judge N. P. Conrey in department ttiree of the superior court, the petition for injunction re cently filed by the Crescent Wharf and Land company against the striking longshoremen of San Pedro was sus tained and the strikers will hereafter be compelled to keep entirely . away from the docks or passageways lead ing to the docks. The defense did not deny that pickets had been posted, but contended that picketing was lawful when done In an orderly manner. • Judge Conrey ruled the picketing to have been done in a disorderly man ner because of the fact that literature bearing the word "scab" was being given away on the wharves.

LOS ANGELE9 HERALD: THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1906. BARBER'S BILL STARTS RIOTING AZUSA RANCHERS BALK AT PAYING $8.75 Tell Their Troubles to Bystanders, and Mob Charges on Tonsor. / - lal Parlor Near the Ar. •*■■ • - cade Depot scale: of prices <<> Hair cut and nhave $6.25 «p <§• Shave and face waih 2.50 <$• <§> Neck nhavo *•> S? ■& Clenu towel *12 X <§> Dirty towel /s Enraged because of the prices charged them for a haircut and shave, two ranchmen from Azusa precipitated a riot at the barber shop of Delupe & Valiant at 834 East Fifth street last night, which was only quelled after a riot call had been turned In ana twenty officers hurried to the scene of battle. ■ •The prices charged, according to statements of the men, were $6.25 for a haircut and "shave for the one and $2.50 for a shave for the other. I Th\ men arrived In Los I Angeles early yesterday evening from the coun try and prepared to spend the evening in the city.. They marched to the Dej lupe & Valiant barber parlors and pro* ceeded to have their faces thoroughly scraped. Officer Warned Passers-by The'Delupe parlors are within a hun dred yards of the Arcade depot and the proprietors i have learned, according to the stories told by the police, to Judge men by their appearances. Some weeks ago the barbers came to grief while at a stand directly In front of the Arcade depot and an officer was stationed before their place and he warned prospective shavlsts not to patronize the shop. Later the officials of . the Southern Pacific compelled the barbers to move from their property, it Is alleged, and elnce that time they have. been con ducting the business of their three chair establishment about a block far ther down the street. , The tourist who emerged from the stuffy trains for a. moment to dash to the, nearest , barber . shop for a shave or haircut between trains found them selves hard hit and to avoid , trouble they paid and left, muttering heart felt curses for the same trick has been played In many eastern cities. But the farming men were the chief objects of consideration, . for they gen erally had money. , The Barbers Smile When one would enter the : shop where extortion wag practiced and pro ceeded i to point his alfalfa bedecked boots skyward, * the barbers would smile. They would gently comb the last year* potato bugs from the' rube's heard, trim ■ his hair, scrape his face, (have a layer of sunburn from off his neck and then watch his throes of heart fajlure as he saw his bill of "steen" dollars.' . ,■, ■ .. •'■-. This happened often, according to the statements of . the police, who received many complaints. The men with beard* ■ and mustaches which rifeeded dyeing were the pet victims. ; „ In the first place they didn't want it known that they had their hair dyed and so when they received a bill worthy of a millionaire they simply muttered, "I hast been didst," and forthwith dug up. I Last night the two early arrlvajs looked like the original cherry pickers' brigade and preparations were begun. One hustled into chair number one, ' while the other draped his long and sinewy frame over the second chair. First they received a hot towel on the face and then the scraping process began. One got his locks trimmed, as well as the face scraping. Then the little Italian proprietors i rubbed their hands over their victims' faces and "proceeded to rub sweet smell ing stuff on the sunburned hide. Then the Awakening It felt good and the victims didn't object. They were turned out of the chairs . at the same time, one having .received a shave and. the other a haircut and shave. One reached his hand down in his trousers pockets and . produced -a $10 gold piece. The barber apparently made a hurried calculation and handed back J3.75. Before the victim could utter a yell of astonishment he noticed his frrend Jumping In the air because he had received only $2.50 change from I a five dollar gold piece, i Remonstrances failed, argument did ■ no good. The two excited barbers told : they., that they had only charged regu . lar prices and that If they had visited • a place too rich for their blood it was 1 their own fault. ! The two countrymen walked to the street. They wandered toward the > corner and the barbers chuckled. At the corner were a number of men . lounging about, for that neighborhood is very prosperous at night and some i belligerent spirits are always present. "Nice night," said one of the country : men. . ; "Pine night for suckers," came the ' reply from the other victim. "Wat's the matter?" came the query from an Interested lounger. "Oh, bucked a new game and got stuck," said one rancher. "We went into the spaghetti hole down the street ! and ■ got trimmed for $8.75 for. two 1 shaves and a haircut." The Crowd Gets Busy The loungers immediately became In terested. "De bloke charged me ten cents for a towel onct," said a lounger, "and when I objected he only, laughed. Next time I got a dirty towel and he reduced the price to a nickel." . "Let's clean the dagoes out," sug gested a member of the crowd, and the gang started toward the barber shop. Things happened fast about that time when the barbers saw the two huge forms of their recent victims in the doorway and the angered faces of a hundred men behind them. explanations didn't go then. The mob yelled derision at the bar bers and hissed and yelled and broke down the barber sign before the place. Men and women came running from every direction and the yelling could be heard for blocks. It attracted the attention of Patrol man Glenn, a negro officer, who daßhea to the barber shop an.d attempted to protect the owners from harm. He was squeezed into the doorway and the mob. attempted to enter. Thousand Rioters Charge By that time there were more than a thousand men In the street and all were yelling and hooting. Fearing that they would be lynched because of . the threats, the barbers turned in a riot call over the telephone. The calls for a lynching grew mom persistent , and / the barbers shivered, and Officer Olenn beat back the crowd for the last > time. They had charged GETS NOT EVEN THANES FOE FINDING MAN'S DIAMONDS BELLBOY'S HONESTY NOT RE WARDED WITH CASH \* Guest Sends Apparel Containing Gems to Presser's, but Hotel Youth's Watchf u Iness Prevents Loss. Youth Has Grievance Honesty failed to meet its usual re ward at the Haywrd yesterday, when a bellboy who restored two diamonds to W. C. Wilson of Oakland was ordered out of the room for his pains. Wilson sent for the bellboy and re quested him to unpack his trunk and take his clothes to be pressed. "Mind you see that you don't get any creases In them when you come back, either," said Mr. Wilson, according to the boy's story. "Have you gone through them? Are you sure there is nothing you want in the pockets?" asked the boy, and re ceiving an answer to "take them along" he went While waiting- for the messenger to come, the clothes reposed on a seat in the door and -were going after the barbers when the squad of riot breakers appeared on the scene. ' For a moment the clubs flew at a lively rate and the crowd dispersed as the barber shop was closed and locked and the barbers marched away by the officers. The two men who had been over charged disappeared in the crowd and a small squad of officers were left on guard to prevent the maddened people from burning down the establishment. . Recently the charging of extortionate prices' by local barbers has become so common that an ordinance regulating prices may be asked from the city council at some near date. FUGITIVE GIRLS ARE CAUGHT BY POLICE Mabel Massey and Jeannette Brooks, who : escaped from the Home of the Qood Shepherd, were arrested hint evening at the Victoria lodging house on South Main street by Officer Pende gast and Patrolman Ingram. According to the officers the girls have been in the company of J. J. Tier man 'and Burt Massey. Massoy claimed to be the brother of the girl who was arrested. The girls told a story of mistreat ment prevalent In the Home of the Good Shepherd, but their statements are not given any credence by the po lice. It Is believed that the four have been living in different lodging houses for some time and officers have been fol lowing the two boys for several days to prove the truth of that belief If possible. ' •- '■ Both girls are more than 16 years old. One Killed; Four Injured By Associated Press. SALEM, Ore., Sept. 12.— 1n attempt- Ing to quell a disturbance in a saloon at St. Paul, this county, Town Marshal Kratcher was shot and killed, Alfred Lambert, one of the marshal's . posse, was shot in the arm and three uniden tified men were wounded, one mortally. The principals in the shooting affray made their escape. the lobby and the boy went about his work.

In the very last pocket in the trousers, down In an obscure corner, he felt something hard, and further investiga tion revealed two diamonds. The boy returned to Mr. Wilson's room with his prizes and asked the occupant If he had lost anything. A short "No" was his answer. "Are you sure you have lost noth ing?" the ' boy repeated. "No, I say. Get out of here." "You had better think hard. What are the two most valuable things you possess?" Light* began to break in upon the man and he remembered the diamonds. "Have i you lost a couple of dia monds?" the boy continued, and he re venled the gems he had taken from the pocket. i ■ "Yes, they are mine. Give , them here," commanded Mr. Wilson. "Do you mind telling me how much those stones are worth?" the boy asked and he was told that Mr. -.Wilson had paid $200 for one and $250 for the other. "And he never so much as said 'thank you!'" was the boy's comment when he went downstairs. NEIGHBORS FIND RECLUSE DEAD BOTILLER LIVED ALONE -ON •"MAPLE'AVENUA :■■.■■;-■'■.
