Tho I'rnscoiitor Admitted lie nud the Delelidnnt Were Not I'riendly. Mrs. Michael Hand, formerly Mrs. Richard McHugh, wan arraigned be fore Alderman W. S. Millar yesterday afternoon on a charge of having know ingly rented houses for Immoral pur poses In the Eighth ward. The com plainant In the case was Richard V. McHugh, a nephew of Mrs. Hand's ilrst husband. The nature of the case and the fact that the defendant Is a well known woman attracted a large crowd of curious spectators. Ex-Judge H. A. Knapp appeared for Mrs. Hand and Attorney M. P. Cawley for McHugh. Alderman Millar's de cision was that the commonwealth had not made out a nrinia facie case and Mrs. Hand was diFChnrged. The specific chnrge attempted by the prosecution was that the defendant, through her nttorney, hnd rented the house In the roar of the Pacific hotel on Penn avenue to a Mrs. Coburn, and the house In the rear of the Globe hotel on Wyoming avenue to May Totten and had received the rentals with the knowledge that the tenants conducted resorts of 111 repute. The prosecution called to the stnnd AlcIIugh, tho plaintiff: Chief of Police Robllng, Lieutenant of Police Davis, Patrolmen Pay and McMullen, County Dottctlve Loyshon, Mrs. W. IJ. Dug gun and Miss Mary Klesel, agent and cx-nurso.respecttvoly, of the As-soclated Chorltles; Common Councilman John Fiaunghan, u fotmer tenant of Mrs. Hanu nt the Globe hotel; Frank Bur--ows. tirourletor of the Pacific hotel owned l Mrs. Hand, and H. D. Rocka fiMler, proprietor of the restaurant on Penn avenue which bears his name and Is owned by Mrs. Hand. OFFICERS TESTIFY. Cnief Robllng, Lieutenant Davis and the patrolmen testified that the char acter of the two houses was bad and for yenis had not been otherwise ex cepting when they were vucant. They had no knowledge that Mrs. Hand know of the character of the tenants ur the places they kept, filmllnr tes timony was offered by County Detec tive 1 oyshon concernlns the Coburn woman's place. Miss KlesM, Associat ed Charity ex-nurse nnd assistant to Mrs. Duggan, offeied like evidence, but none of them could swear that Mrs. Hand shared their knowledge. McHugh. tho plaintiff, testified that he personally had told his aunt that her tenants were Immoral people and ran Immoral establishments. He ad mitted on cross-examination that bit ter feeling existed between the defend ant and himself, that he had never liked her nor she him and that ho had no knowledge that she had failed to serve notice on tenants after complaint had been made against them. Mrs. Duggan corroborated the testi mony of the preceding witnesses as to the character of the houses. Councilman Flanaghan was called by tho prosecution, but his testimony damaged their case and wns a cor responding help to the defense. He was present ns a spectator and had been leferrcd to by McHugh as having complained to Mrs. Hand of her ten ants in the rear of tho Globe hotel, of which he was proprietor. Mr. Flana ghan testified that he had not com plained of the rear house or Its ten ants beeuuse It was nearly nil the time vacant. He did urge Mrs. Hand to rent It for her own protection ns It was a 'resort and sleeping place for tramps, thieves and street cumins who hnd done the property damage to the amount of hundreds of dollars and an noyed him. Tho evidence of Frank Burrows, proprietor of the Pacific hotel, was Immaterial. DEFENSE OFFERED. Ex-Judge Knapp's opening of the case for Mrs. Hand Illustrated very clearly tho position established for the defendant In tho subsequent testimony by hcmelf and her agent. Mrs. Hand, said Judge Knapp, made no denial of her knowledge of the bad character of tho two houses In question, but the charge that she had rented them through her agent with Ills or her knowledge that they were to be used for immoral put poses or that she or he had failed to have the houses vacat ed when such knowledge came to them these latter charges the defenno re futed. It was admitted that Mr. Mc Hugh, up to the time of his death, had had underslrable tenants. His wife, now Mrs. Hand, was doing all In her power to keep bad people out of her buildings. Tho agent, Mr. Stark, had served no tice on tenants In every Instance where complaint had been mado against them. The present action wan sug gested by only the malice and Ill-will of the prosecutor. Mr. Stark was called nnd said he rented all of Mrs. Hand's properties, which include many business places, When she engaged him two years ago, she Informed him that he muat get rid of the, undesirable tenants, who had for years rented houses from her hus bana. She wanted the places occupied by reputable people, and Instructed him to cut the rent CO per cent. If nece.'fary. The houses occupied by Mrs. Coburn and May Totten had formerly been leased to Lou Brown and Mies Harris a: S.'.C and fCO respectively. In the hupposltlon that tho two former were respectable the rents were reduced to them nearly one-hnlf. Mr. Stark of fered the leases In support of his state ment. Tho two houses complained against were each vncant for about a year after he became Mrs. HandV, ugent. He refused to obtain many ten ants because he did not consider them of good character. The houso In the' rear of the Globe hotel had been stripped of all Its exposed plumbing, hath tubs and closet nnd other fix tures during the year's vacancy, Its windows were broken, doom smashed In and tho Interior converted. Into a illthy ety by tramps. It was Impos slblo to keen them out. MR. STARK'S EXPLANATION. Mr. Rinrlt explained Mrs. Duggan's complaint to him by saying that her comment was In relation to two girls sho was looking for and who were sup posed to bo In Mia. Coburn's house. He went to tho placo and found there only Mrs. Coburn and the letter's nelce. He went In all the rooms but found no other persons about tho placo. Sev eral tenants who had rented tho houso occupied by May Totten has been put out on his orders. The testimony of Mrs. Hand was a corroboration of that of her agent. Sho had nothing to do with the rental or re pairing cf her properties, entruattng nil that work to Mr, Stnik. Sho believed he had done all In his power to fol low her Instructions and not rent to undesirable tenants. Mrs. Hand, In pnrt, admitted somo evidence brought out by the prosecu tion that sho had several months ago talked with Mrs. Coburn. The witness and Mr. Hand were looking over her Pacific hotel property nnd while In tho renr yard a woman who said she was Mrs. Coburn approached and com plained of a lenky roof. The witness told the woman to see her agent that he attended to such matters. No other couverratlon ever took place be tween them. When "Dick" McHugh told tho witness about Mrs. Coburn, tho wltnera Instructed her ngent to have the tenant "put out." Notice had been served as sho directed. Aldermnn Millar told Mrs. Hand not to answer tho question on cross-examination as to whether or not her daughter had asked her on her (tho daughter's) death bed to cease renting her houses for Immoral nee. THE CLOSING TESTIMONY. In Judge Knapp's closing address he claimed for his client the protection afforded her by the statutory 2-ycar limitation. Nothing hnd been offered to show that In this period she had the knowledge claimed. The testimony that the places were Immoral, Judge Knnpp admitted, nnd said his client h'ld caused them to be vacated and would continue to do so. It was her misfortune thnt her houses were locat ed In unavcry localities. Alderman Millar, In giving his de cision that McHugh had not proved his rase, discharged Mrs. Hand and di rected the agent to see to it that the places In question were vacated forth with. The hearing lasted nearly two hours. OFF FOR THE KLONDIKE. Druggist P. J. Vetler find Ten Cnmpan- Inns Start on Their Long Journey In Searcb of Yellow Metal. Druggist P. J.

Heroic Treatment vt orki Well in the i nr nt ii llnrttnrd Patient. From tho Hartford Times. Arthur Roulston. of 210 Wethersfield avenue, has recovered from a severe at tack of pneumonia, after nn Illness of two weeks. For sueral days his life was despaired of. About two weeks ago he was taken with a pronounced attack of pneumonia and on the second day of the disease his tempeiature reached lOii degrees, with rapid pulse, difficult respiration, and accompanied by active delirium. These conditions continued for teven days, with no Intervals of repose dny or night, the delirium becoming so vio lent that It was with dllllculty the patient could be kept In bed. His tem perature remained above 100 degrees, with pulse 150, nnd notwithstanding that his ph'ys-iclan, Dr. Boucher, em ployed all remedies advocated for this disease, Including cold bathing. Indications of approaching death be coming apparent, and convinced of the futility of dtugs. the family consented to the following heroic treatment.
