LEGAL WHEELS WITHIN WHEELS. When the trouble began last fall by Miss Sarah Althea Hill and her adviser, Mr. arresting conspiracy. To main items were thus originated and from each has sprung a bountiful supply of vexatious compiication: Mr. Neilson telt so in- dignant at his arrest for cons ituted proce: Upon this Sharon sent a detective to Aus- tralia, Neilson’s former home, and, gathering the main points of Neilson’s life, repeated his charges. Neilson’s indignation then waxed to det ar thing, he very imprudently abused Capt. Lees, of the police force, and, in consequence, shortly. afterwards, found himself in jail on a charge of | libel by that gentleman. Managing to procure bail, Mr. Neilson again resorted to the public eur, aud spoke to an im- mense crowd on the sand lots, the one-time scene of Dennis Kearney’s agitations. In this second speech he used Senator Sharon so hardly that the friends of the Senator held a committee | on the spot, and in a very short time a large box of ancient eggs was procured and the speaker greeted with an unpleasant shower. A general riot ensued, in which a number of bruises and black eyes were manufactured, and one or two men nearly beaten to death; then the meeting adjourned. The investigation of this matter adds more fuel to the already large legal confla- gration, and yetthese are butatithe of the troubles that have arisen and are still arising from the one suit of Sharon vs. Sharon. WITNESSES SUED FOR PERSURY. A few days ago three suits for perjury were commenced against three witnesses who, some the plaintiff, yet recently came into court, and, having been, as supposed, bought up by Sharon, admitted they had perjured thenselyes, and now testifled in Sharon’s favor. These wit- hesses are out on $5,000 bonds, and it is gen- erally thought Sharon will pay their bonds while they hie themselves to some foreign clime. One of the plaintiffs counsel was fined 500 for contempt of court; this fine was thought un- | Just, and a long and tedions law suit, ending | only inthe supreme court, and affirmation by the way of tne lower court’s decisions, was the result. what a boon to th has proved. trials on record. garroted in broad day and spirited away; the tomb has been made to give up its dead, and | di clotiin: e@ worn, hi timony reeking with odors of tie been introduced in court as retained on both sides to examine every ex- hibit with lynx-eyed scrutiny, witnesses have drawn p counsel—from beginning to, not the end. for there is no sign of that yet, but from the beginning to the present moment the lezal bartle has been of the very hottest and most dramatic kind. THE PUBLIC LUDED. The public has been excluded from the trial | altogether, and the lawyers and witnesses are only admitted after a careful search for weap- ons. Two policemen stand guard at the door for this purpos¢, and when a bunch of keys or a stuffed pocketbook bulges the clothing, as would a knife or pistol, the officers smile a grim smile | and order “hands up” as they go through the pockets In true Jesse James style. Even this extraordinary caution is not by some considered sufficient, and Senator Sharon and his counsel employ a corps of private detectives to shadow and protect their precious persons. Sharon has appeared in court guarded by as many as four men at one time, and a bulldog-looking tellow with a large stick tags after Gen. Barnes, deten- dant’s chief counsel, to kpock down Sarah Al- thea or any other ferocious person that may happen fn his way. To an outsider all this fuss and trumpery about a divorce case seems silly, but the way of a San Francisco trial passeth all understanding, and It may be necessary for these 200-pound awyers to employ body-zuards azainst one lone | woman, for if it is not Miss Hill they fear, who if Miss Hill is a young-looking woman, rather dsome, and seems terri ofa good Missouri family, not over 30 years old, and tells her story with an air of sincerity that usually impresses ner listeners quite favor- ably. came to California, ten or twelve she said, “I had a few thousand and, like everybody else at that time, caucht the gambling fever and dabbled in stocks. I was ouite fortunate, too. At one time I made a at rise, and there was nearly a milli Senator Sharon, and have never had any luck since. When Iwas introduced to him he said he would give me some ‘points; he gave me the points, and I lost nearly everything [ had. ‘Pen he made a proposition that I spurned. “You have lost me my fortune, but don’t thin! you can insult me,’ I said, and then he apolo- sized and said he meant marriage. We were married soon after in his office.” THE FAMOUS MARRIAGE CONTRACT. She claims she wrote the marriage contract at Sharon’s dictation, and they both affixed their signatures at the bottom of the paper. The | whole case turns on this potnt. Sharon admits the genuineness of the signature, but says the contract was written over the name, and not the name under the contract; that he ha short, accidentally left his autograph on a blank sheet of paper, which the plaintiff, finding, used , to manufacture the contract and claim of mar- | riage.

There have been some very dramatic scenes for three days past. The Bundle of shirt tails and socks exhumed froma grave in the Ma- sonic eer were for the second time opened and permitted to scent the court-room with their delightful odors. Sbaron claims his gar- ments were buried asa sort of “love philter, but the plaintiff indignantly denies it, and says iped-up charge to weaken and belittle her. When the bundle was opened the otherday the Senator was inatructed to produce one of his shirts. This being done, its tail was compared with the exhumed tail. “Your honor, there is an inch difference in the width of these two tails,” exclaimed the counsel, and the whole court was on its feet at once. So important a discovery as an inch’s difference in the width of two shirt tails was thrilling, and the experts with tape lines and microscopes were at once sent for, THE SCENE OF THE SOCK. ‘The shirt episode, however, was soon over- shadowed by the dramatic scene ofthe sock, Holding gingerly between two fingéré @ stained and filthy sock, Judge Tyler asked: “Ts that your sock?” re do rier Gekko “Well, what umber of sock do you wear?” “T don't tas — a9.” ee: ; . joes size ur change: Well, I want you to ti thid sock on.” While the Senator was medit the om dollars to my credit, but in ‘78 I met | | June 1.—The celebrated | tino Yhaeron divorce case, which has just been ad- | rott for a recess of thirty days, has entered | slightest shock, and surrounding him on all th moi here is still no sign of | sides, . so cuaetl coeatsons thes | awaiting the Trane win the tutenteess Sane: e for surprise were next | result’ o} Ttis | Simply a small er trials and troubles | cross rung from | this was evi will be fortunate if the end of | entirely sub | . by acurions | money was all | enator’s heart was all gone, and there | It must be confessed, | ator Sharon on a, charge of adult- | ery, the Senator promptly returned the compli- ment by arresting Miss Hill and Mr. Neilson for | piracy that he at once | dings against Sharon for slan- | | Such an extent that he delivered a public ad- | on his wrongs, in which, among other | 1 curiosity as to | weeks ago, gave certain testimony in favor of | These instances suffice to show | ers Sharon’s gallantry | from the enormous amount of litiza- | 8 arising, there have been other fea- | king this one of the most remarka- | Witnesses have been : | Microscope experts, with maseni- | nthe | fving glasses of euormous power, have been | stols and attempted to shoot examining | dose, Tyler gave a gasp, and, turning to the judge, exclaimed: “Your honor, there fs something in the seck.” This startling announcement brought every man to his feet, and while the judge, lawyers and porters crowded breathlessly around, Sarah Althea Hill stood excitedly de- manding the sock to be watched, and imploring her lawyers to prevent anything being put in its toe!

The traveler of the present day,as he is hurried along by the lightning express, in its buffet cars and Pelace sleopers, seldom reverts in thouzht to the time when the stare coach and packet were the only means of communiarion between distant points. It is rare that one of the real old-t.me staze divers is met with now-a-dsys and when the writerrecently ran across Fay- e(te Haskell, of Lockport, N. ¥., Like a bibliozra- pher over the discovery of somerare volume of “forzot- ten lore."

At one time when going down a mountain near Lewiston with no less a personage than General Scott as a passenger, the brakes gave way and the coach came cn the heels of the wheel horses, The only remedy was to whid the leaders toa gallop. Gaining additional mozentam with each revo- lation of the wheels the coxea swayed and pitched down the mougtzin side and isto the streets of Lewis- ton. Straight ahead at the footot the steep hill floxed the Niagara river, towards which the four horses dashed apparently to certain death, Yet the firm hand never relaxed its hold nor the clear srain its conception of what must bedone in the emereucy. On dashed the horses until the nerrow dock was reached on the river bank, when by a mastery exiib-tion of nerve and daring the coach was turned in scarco tx own length and the horses brought toa stand still }.fore the pale lookers- on could realize what had occured. A purse was raised by Geheral Bcott and presented to Mr. Haskell with high compliments for his skill aad bravery : Notwithstanding all his strength and hisrobust con- stitution the strain of continuous work and exposure proved too much for Mr. Haskeil’s constitution. The constant jolting of the coach and the necessarily cramped position in which he was obliged to sit, con- tributed to this end, and at times he was obliged to sbandon driving altogether. Speaking of this period he said “I found it almost impossible to sleep at nizht; my appetite loft me entirely and { had a tired feeling which I never knew before ard could not account for.” “Did you give up driving entiely?” “No. I tried to keep up bit it was only with the greatesteffort. ‘This state of things continued for near- ly twenty years until last Octobu, when I went all to pieces.” “In what way?” “Ob, I doubled all up; conld n¢t walk without a cane, and was incapable of any effort exertion.

Senator Sharon lias been on the stand during the week. To put it mildly, he tells some queer things. When being examined as to his first meeting with Miss Hill he was asked: “Who spoke fire “I don't know.” “Who spoke nex! vell,, what did you s: nd what did she sa; “ mph.’ ” I submit to your honor,’ id Tyler, turning to the judge, “that this was a most remarkable | e neither spoke first, and, where ail that was said by either was an ‘utaph’and a ‘grunt,’ but Sharon | only smiled and refused to remember what was said. Sharon has athin, wiry voice, with no more music in it than ina tin whistle, but this did not prevent the question: “Were you not accustomed to sing to Miss Bill?” “No, sir.” “What, did you not sing to her ‘Maid of Athens, ére we part?” “Well, I may have hummed it to her.” Miss Hill, as stated. is a young, handsome woman, but it was not known until Sharon’s now famous ‘‘transom” story, that she is also an acrobat of considerable agility. The tran- soms over the doors in the Palace hotel are only two feet wide and eight or ten fect above the floor. Sharon declared that Miss Hill used to | climb into his room through the transoms. “Did she come in head foremost or feet fore- most?” “Well, I was always in bed, but I could hear | her fall, and I think she came in head tirst.” THE “DEAR WIFE'S” DEMURENESS. Miss Hill has a large stack of letters from Sharon, many of them beginning “my dear wife.” All but the “dear wife” is admitted genuine; to prove that a forgery experts have been spying with their glasses for the last ninety days. They have, however, not yet come to an agreement on the subject. There are some very tough things sald about Sharon, and according to his own confession he is a pretty gay Lothario for his age. One of the best known men on this coast, a recent United States Senator. father-in-law of a real live Eng- lish lord, a millionaire and owner of the biggest hotel in the world, he is accused of deeds more | atrocious than some accredited to Nero, of giv- | ing his father a biow that resulted in his death, | of setting fire to the Yellow Jacket mine ten or twelve yearsago and causing the deaths of forty men merely to bear the stock and gain control— these and many other things as bad are said, some are even openly published. I do not know whether the Senator has eves troubled nimself to deny any of the charges. There is no proof poaitive in any of the cases; it is all mere rumor and supposition, and he probably contents him- self with the reflection that no one knows and that he has the Yellow Jacket mtne and hiscom- fortable millions in the bank, safe even from the grasp of Miss Sarah Althea Hill. The trial will be renewed in July and there will doubtless be more socks and shirt tails and bits of scandal. M. L. M. are wi “And with what result?” “Wonderful.
