Partes In the second district municipal court and lawyers, court attendants and witnesses lost track of business becauae of the baby's complaints.

"Whose ohlld Is that?" asked the Judge. "It's mine." said Mrs. Yetta VogeU who was in court as the defendant In a grocery hill suit. "Can't you keep It from crying?" said the Judge. "No.

I can't" said Mrs. Vogel." "If I am to stand here all day while a hundred cases are being tried before mine I'll have to let the baby cry." "Madam." said the Judge, "we'll take up your case now If you think that will quiet the baby." Mra. Vogel tok the witness chair, but the baby continued its loud laments. "Goldberg," said the Judge, motioning toward Maxwell Goldberg, a court attendant, "do you know anything about babies?" "I'm a family man, Judge," said Goldberg. "Give me the baby." For three-quarters of an hour while the case was being tried, the court at-tendant sat the floor, croning and rocking the baby In his arms.

Gradually its cries ceased and by the time the case was dismissed the banv was fast ssleep. com ATTENDANT NURSES CRY BABY New Trial Sought bv Alleged Bunco-Man, Because Juror Slept. LOS ANQBLBS. May IS. "A loud and raucous snore" formed the basla for a motion for a new trial filed today In behalf of Lee Rial, alleged head of a "national bunoo syndicate." who was convicted last week in Judge" Flnlayson's Ing swindled G.

P. Fries, an Illinois farmer, out of 15000 through a faked horse race. O. Ray Horton, Rial's attorney, made the motion and filed a long affidavit by his client, who asserted that he had not been given a fair trial because a Juror, George H. Peck, a millionaire realty operator of Ban Pedro, had fallen asleep Uod snored repeatedly during the prog-.

ress of the case despite apparent erroixs to keep awake by chewing gum and fanning himself. It was asserted that on a single day Peck had fallen asleep as many as thirteen times. Rial's affidavit also made the assertion that another Juror, W. J. Hess, of Redondo.

Beach, was prejudiced against him because during a visit to the world' fair at Chicago in 1893. Hess had been the victim of a bunco steerer. Judge Flnlayson, who. had set today as the time for Imposing sentence upon Rial, continued the case until Monday to give the prosecution an opportunity to respond to the motion of the defense. 350 Go Into Effect.

Encased In a plaster cast, Paul V. Parker, brother of the superintendent of the state hospital at Napa, Is hanging by his neck in a hospital here today and there he will continue to hang until he Is well. Injured five days ago In a street car collision, hs walked the streets four days with a broken neck and did not know It. An examination yesterday showed that he had a bad fracture of the sixth cervical vertebra. Only the muscles were holding the neck In place, and a movement of a sixteenth of an Inch of the broken bones would probably have caused death.

Parker will get well, unless his physicians are wrong. If he does his will be the second case of Its sort, it is said, on record. COMMUTES FIVE.YEAR SENTENCE OF RICH WASHINGTON. Mai 2S.

Urban, a pickpocket who was sentenced to serve six and one- half years In Folsom prison by Superior Judge Donahue this morning following his plea of gulltv to having robbed a Chinaman of 121,5 In dla- monas ana coin, made unsubstantiated charges that the police department, was protecting a man by the name of John K. Lakeman In his operation of three fake poolrooms In the city. The defendant said that one of the poolrooms was located at Twelfth and Clay street, another near the Hotel St. Mark and a third at sixteenth street and Telegraph avenue. After a searching examination made-by Judge Donahue and District Attorney Hynes, the court came to the conclusion that the pickpocket really knew nothing of any Irregular practice on the part of the Oakland police.

i ASKE1 FOR In arraigning Urban for sentence Judge Donahue Mated that in reading me transcript of testimony from the Police Conrt he had concluded that the defendant had something he wanted to tell. "Now. Urban," said Judge Donahue, "in reading your transcript record in the Police Court I notice while In the Police Court you acted as If you wanted to tell the officers there that you were getting some kind of protection or that somebody was doing something for you. I want to say to you that you are in the right place now to tell that, if you have got anything to say. If there is anybody In this county that is giving any protection or In any way helping ft man who Is a picKpocket or that you are In the employ of any person that Is acting dishonestly In getting protection, this Is the time for you to talk about It We have got a district attorney In this county that I know will prosecute this kind of men.

There Is no man, no matter who he Is, who will get any protection, and if you will tell It right now we will be glad to know It." TELLS OF "PAT-OFT" JOIXT. Urban then went on to say that he had been asked by John E. Lakeman to work for him In a "pay-off Joint" at Twelfth and Clay streets, "where there was 1100,000 taken off every month." He said that he had refused to work for Lakeman and mentioned one instance in which it was claimed that a visitor from Richmond had gotten away with 11000 of the "Joint's" money only to be arrested by the police. The money was held, he said, but the prisoner turned loose, although no attempt was made to "pinch" the place. Judge Donahue, told the nrlann.r that any statement he might make would not Influence the sentence he was going to get for the pickpocket joo ana men urban continued to tell what he claimed to know about the "pay-off Joint" and John Lakeman.

After receiving his sentence Urban returned to the prisoners' cage, showing visible signs of nervousness. He was handcuffed by Bailiff Ed Barrett and returned to the county Jail. Tremblingly he remarked: "Well, I didn't say anything that would hurt anybody, did DOUBT STORY. As a result of the Incident Judge Donahue and District Attorney Hynes considered that the tale was drawn entirely from the- imagination of the pickpocket and based upon an Incident he had read of a short time ago. This concerned a stranger who went to the police station with $1000 which he said had been given him by an alleged bunco man to bet as a "feeder," but that he had become suspicious of the game.

Chief of Police Petersen took the money and set a time for hearing so that any one claiming It could make his appearance. The alleged "poolroom" man did not appear and it was concluded at the time that the sum would make an acceptable contribution to the widows and orph-an' fund.
