FRIDAY NOVEMBER 14 1890.
AMUSEMENTS.
PRESENTING THE CANE “UNDER
THE GASEIGHT. ’’
The Great Metropolis and Life-
Saving Corps—Gran Opera
Company Etc.
At th* Grand Opera house last
night the Reban company presented
their final performance of “Under the
Gaslight” to a very creditable show-
ing of filled seats. It is hardly
thought though that the merits of
the company were the drawing cards
but rather the well advertised fact
that the winners in the Light’s
‘‘Popular Clerk’s Contest” were to be
presented with their trophies. A
large number of the clerks and other
friends of Messrs. Max Kaliski
and Moses Jackson and Miss Emma
Carrico were present and there
was a buzz of excitement as the cur-
tain ran down alter the first act of the
play and all thought the event
would come off. It didn't. The
winners were not present and they
did not come even after the
second act and the orator of ‘
the evening Mr. T. W. Mullaly who
was to make the presentation began
to get nervous and to forget his care-
fully conned little speech. At 9:15 be
was parading the foyer with one
hand under his coat tail and h ; e
diamond ring glittering on the other 1
hand as he pulled bis fine-haired ’
mustache and looked anxiously to-
ward the entrance. At 9:20 be forgot
bis extemporaneous remarks alto-
gether and borrowed a copy of the
Light to read up on what be was ।
there for and what the contest was
about. At 9:25 after the third acthe
stepped out on the stage before the
footlights with Mr. T. B. John-
son and the elegant gold-
headed cane a close second and
cleared his voice. He proceeded to
make a few ingenious preliminary re- '
marks while Mr. Johnson tried to get
behind the big cane by holding it like ’
a dude. Gaining courage the speak-
er eulogized the Light’s enterprise
on all occasions and this one in par-
ticular and gave the details and the
figures in the contest just closed.
Then be called for Mr. Kaliski who
had captured the trophy as the most
popular clerk in the city. Max did
not come forward. He was not in the
house. He *as very bashful and
told bis friends who called to escort
him to the opera house that he would
not go for $5OO and be guyed by the ‘
gallery. But the gallery did not '
guy even when Mr. Albert Berger *
his best friend walked up and accep-
ted the cane for him. Mr. Mullaly
then proceeded and called for Mr. *
Mose Jackson in order to present him ;
with the second prize a beautiful
diamond stud as the next popular
clerk. Mr. Jackson had also weaken- ’
ed. and was not “in it” and the ora- ’
tor proceeded to give him a friendly ’
roasting tor his cowardice. His re- '
preventative stepped forward and ac-
cepted for him as did the escort of ।
the lady Miss Emma Carrico who
cast the most votes for any one can- '
didate. Her escort received a beauti-
ful bouquet and six months subscrip- 1
tion to the Light for her. Attertheap-
plause had subsided the curtain
arose and the play went on. Mr.
Mullaly acquitted himself so far be-
yond the expectations of his friends ’
that he received a regular ovation a '
few minutes after. He was just a .
trifle throaty during the ordeal but
showed wonderful improvement in
his delivery and in remembering bis
lines over and above his first appear-
ance before the public one year
ago on the occasion of his
presentation of a diamond to Miss
Lillian Lewis. In another year’s
study he will be qualified to take any
part with a short-handed company
that may appear and even now
would make a good understudy for
leads.
Cards of thanks from all the candi-
dates in the clerks’ contest appear in
another column in today’s Light.
GRAU OPERA COMPANY.
At Rische’s Opera house this strong
company rendered the ever popular
Ermlnie to a larger bouse than pre-

The ease of Dr. R. L. Monroe the
dentist was on trial all yesterday af-
ternoon. The testimony was started .
with that of Miss Emma Schneider
The chief witness for the prosecution
who stated that she was 17 years of
age her home being in Castroville.
She was visiting her relatives at Fort
Clark and while there went to Dr.
Monroe.' She further testified that
when she bad two teeth plugged the i
dentist told her that she had a tooth
with a decayed root in her mouth
and if she would take chloroform
there would ce no pain to her. "1
told him I didn’t want the root pulled
out but he said I ought to have it <
done and then he gave chloroform i
The drug made me feel very dizzy
and after a little while I was half
asleep. Then he touched the decay-
ed tooth with a sharp Instrument and
asked me if I felt it. I told him yes.
Then I began to cry and I told him I
wanted to go home to mama. I got
out of the chair and tried to walk 1
but was so weak and dizzy that I
could not stand up. The doctor then
took hold of me by the arm and put i
me on a bed that was in the room.
I then closed my eyes and was sort of
half asleep. Dr. Monroe then went
to to the door and bolted it.”
The witness then went on tojstate sev-
eral things which are unfit for mention
outside of the witness stand. After
this bad taken place she testifies
that she sprung from her bed un-
bolted the door and rushed into the
hall where after a bit the doctor
came out and asked her to come into
the room and rest. This she refused
going home and telling her aunt who
told the uncle who had her examined
the next day at the hospital.
On cross-examination she stated
that she bad her eyes closed and saw

went on.
Mr. J. 8. Riley of the army hospital
corps testified * that he bad heard
something like a bolt slide back and
upon going into the hall met Miss
Schneider coming out of; the room
weeping. A few minutes later Dr.
Monroe come into the hall and
attempted to persuade the girl to
come Into the room and rest.
Dr. Mossby ex-post surgeon at Fort
Clark stated that be bad examined
the girl the following day but found
no marks of violence on her body. In
reply to a question put by the counsel
of the defendant he admitted that a
party under the Influence of chloro-
form can imagine most absurd things.
Dr. J. V. Spring a specialist of
this city testified to the effect that a
person under the influence of chloro-
iorm could become subject to great
hallucinations and is not in a rational
state of mind. Dr. Carroll gave his
testimony to the same effect. The

Judge Maxey opened the court this
morning promptly at 10 a. m.
The first witness called
was Dr. F. Herff Sr. whose testimo-
• ny as to the effects of chloroform on
i the mind and was substantially the
i same as that of the other physicians
f After Dr. HerfTs testimony the
■ defendant Dr. R. L. Monroe was
placed on the stand. His testimony
was a flat contradiction of that given
- by Miss Schneider stating that be
i merely attended to the girl’s teeth
t when she broke from the chair.
1 During the cross examination.
- Judge Evans asked of the witness if
he had never been arrested in a
bagnio west of the San Pedro under
the name of Robert Lee on a charge
of assault to murder. The council
for the defense objected and the
morning was spent wrangling over
this question by Judge Evans and
Dyer. At 12: 30 Judge Maxey decid-
ed that the witness did not have to
answer this question and the regular
cross examination was resumed by
Judge Evans. The case was still on
at the time of going to press.
