ORPHANAGE SUPERINTENDENT TO FACE GRAVE CHARGES
Daniel MacMillan, superintendent of the Union Men's Orphanage at San Lorenzo, was arrested Sunday afternoon by Constable Manuel Borge, of San Leandro, on complaint of Florence Jones, an eleven-year-old inmate of the orphanage, sworn to before Justice of the Peace, D. U. Toffelmier, of San Leandro. According to the story told the justice by the girl, her abuse by MacMillan commenced on August 28th last. She was accompanied to the office of the Justice of the Peace by her mother, Mrs. Daniel Jones. McMillan asserts his innocence of the charges brought against him by Florence Jones. He claims that Mrs. Marshall Johnson, a former matron at the orphanage, and James French, a former director, who, he says, wishes to be made superintendent, have instigated the charges. He also charges Mrs. Bissell, wife of the pastor of the Congregational Church, in San Leandro, with jealousy because he had refused to attend the church. He was arraigned before Judge Toffelmier in San Leandro and the hearing set for Thursday at 10 o'clock a. m. Monday morning a second charge was placed against McMillan. Lorena Tucker, a thirteen-year-old girl inmate of the orphanage, swore to a complaint before the District Attorney charging that on or about February 7th, of this year, McMillan attempted to commit a felonious act. The bail on this charge was fixed at $2000, the same as in the first case.

Walsh, McMillan's attorney, for the second time fell under the displeasure of the court Wednesday for tardiness, and was fined $20 by Judge Prewell. The case was set to begin by 9:30 o'clock. Several days before Judge Prewell fined Walsh $5 for being late, but remitted the fine upon the attorney explaining that he had misunderstood the hour at which court would convene.
