Asserted Demateriallaatlon of $3 Gold Pteee Fall to Save Fortune Teller From Fine and Imprisonment. Julia Williams' regular Saturday "ap pearance In the Municipal Court was featured yesterday by a fine more se vere than any of her previous contribu tions. Judge Rossman fined her $25 and sentenced her to four days In jail for fortune telling- and for tricking a customer out of a five-dollar gold piece. The woman, who is a sypsy, was ar rested on a complaint of Jacob Haft- neter, who vtsTted her place at 284 First street to have his fortune told. According to the testimony Julia had evolved a system of gazing into the future, whereby It was necessary to tie a five-dollar gold piece in a hand kerchief and pass it before her eyes. Haftneter obligingly supplied the nec essary coin, but was considerably non plussed when, after the handkerchief was untied, the seeress Informed him that the spirits had made away with the coin. Haftneter left the place and got two plain clothesmen from the police-station to arrest the spirits that had bor rowed his five dollars. The gypsy, rec ognizing the officers as they cams up the street, accompanied by Haftneter, told him that' the five dollars had tin fortunately materialized and been found on the floor after he had left. Unfortunately for Julia, the judge dtdn't believe it. Phone vour want ads to The Orego sonian.
