10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, OCTUBER 15, 1895. MRS, GARCELON'S NATURE Closeted Consultations to Pre= vent Knowledge of Her Plans. WAS IT UNDUE INFLUENCE?| Judge Stanly’s Deposition Ended. Some Light on Indlviduals In the Case. The third day of the Garcelon trust con- test in the United States Circuit Court con- cluded the reading of Judge Stanly’s deposition as to his relations legally and as a friend with Mrs, Garcelon during the | formation of the trust in 1891. In the main, the documentary testimony | of Judge Stanly laid particular stress upon Mrs. Garcelon’s cautiousness in at- tempting to keep the proposed disposition of her property a secret. The old lady was the personification of secrecy in her prepa- | rations and consultations as to her intended bequests and the trust’s deeds. And it is t evidence of much private discussion, often with Judge Stanly alone, thiat the | defense is expected to make much of in | their claim that undue influence was ex- erted over Mrs. Garcelon in the matter of the distribution of her large estate. Some interesting side lights were thrown | upon the personslity of this wealthy wid- owed sister of the late Dr. Merritt and veral individuals connected with se, to which several score of rela- and a coilege on the one hand and some trustees and a syndicate behind the Merritt nephews on the other hand are parties. 4 All day Attorney Philbrook read rapidly from the document, pausing only occa- sionally to moisten his throat or to make note of some discrepaucy between his copy and that upon which Judge Hayne fol- lowed him carefully for the plaintiifs in the o Bowdoin College and the fifty-one relatives of Mrs. Garcelon. During his early consultations with Mrs. Garcelon at_her house, Judge Stanly ex- plained to her the advantages of a deed over a will in the disposition of the prop- erty as she intende He told her that a deed would remain secure, whereas a will in which she would dispose of more than a third of her estate to non-relatives could be successfully contested by rela- tives. He then, at her urgent request, drew u; on November 14, 1890, a preliminary dee of trust providing for & hospital in Oak- | land that would be endowed with six- tentns of her property, and Bowdoin Col- | eive four-tenths, after | lege which would r she had made provision for relatives. The amount covered by the trust was set at $1,000,000. Judge Stanly had told Mrs. Garcelon very authoritatively that he objected to drawing up the deed because Judge Ham- ilton was her attorney, but she assured him that she did not want Judge Hamil- ton; that he talked too much and that there was a reporter in his family, and that she wanted the disposition of her | roperty kept secret. She added that .Vuage Hamilton and Stephen Purrington had had a serious falling out and that she must have the deed drawn up by some one who was a friend of Purrington. Before the trust could be created the | relatives had to be provided for, and it took many days to complete thelist and in- | crease the respective portions so that the total would reach $250,000, the sum that Mrs. Garcelon had decided on for that pur- pose. She did not know all her relatives, par- ticularly the younger generation. ost of them lived in Maine, and at first she had $2000 and $200 as the limits of their individual p ortions. She believed that any one that had $5000 was a rich person, an that in Maine people were wealthy on com- paratively little. She cited her early mar- riage experience and declared that they used to live on $500 a year. 2 In response to Judge Stanly’s suggestion that she might divide her colle equest between Bowdoin and the State University she said, ‘‘No, not after the way they treated my brother as Regent.” To another cautious inquiry put forth b{ the Judge | she made reply that her list of legatees was | complete, and that she had purposely | omitted Miss McClellan; that her brother had done enough for her. To this Judge Stanly replied that in living with Dr. Mer- ritt for twenty years Miss McClellan had necessarily isolated herself and had for- feited any prospect of marriage because of those relations, and that in consideration of that he believed she ought to be given | something. But his suggestion did not avail. After that Mrs. Garcelon Leard that Miss McClellan knew that she was not mentioned in the will and that Captain Franklin Purrington knew he was left out also. She immediately demanded an ex- lanation of Samuel Purrington and udge Stanly as to the source of the ! secret which was known to herself and them alone. Inquiry proved that Miss McClellan had got her “tip” from a spirit medium, but it was not known whether Captain Purrington also got his from | spiritual sources. | "Captain Purrington had been seen b; | Judge Foote drinking in a saloon, an | When Mrs. Garcelon heard of it she de- clared he could never on that account be one of her trustees, as she had intended he should. Then Mrs. Garcelon again urged Judge Stanly to be one of her trustees, and he told her he would not serve for $50,000; that he could not do it without neglecting his business grospects. Later, in April, 1891, she sent Stephen Purring- ton to Judge Stanly’s office in this City with the repeated request that he serve, offering him $25,000 for his services. He again declined, but after much urging from Purrington and an additional offer by him of all the fees and of no responsi- bility as to the details of management, he consented, and received the $25,000. But all collections and business pertaining to the trust were attended to by Purrington | who came to Judge Stanly only for final | approval. | udge Stanly’s firm received $1000 for drawing up the trust deeds. Mrs. Garcelon complained that ‘“‘charity mongers” were trying to kill her off, but | she said that she was good for ten vears | more. The charity nuisance had become | 80 great that she was in the habit of throw- | ing scores of unopened letters into the | waste basket, reserving only such ashad | | | | tives. In order to put a stop to these so- licitations for financial aid she directed immediately upon the formation of the trust, that the fact be published and char- y mongers warned. In regard to a certain legislative act passed in March, 1891, regulating the dis- position of property by persons of old age or possible mental inability Judge Ham- ilton told Judge Stanly that he believed the act had its origin with some enemy of Mrs. Garcelon and that it was aimed di- rectly at her. At the time an anonymous copy was mailed to Judge Stanly’s office. up for a year his profession upon the sea to live with his wife, child and maid at Mrs. Garcelon’s home, receiving in addi- tion to the maintenace of his family a salary equal to his pay as captain. Buthe began to have aspirations, and broached the subject to Judge Stanly, saying that he thought Mrs. Garcelon ought to give him $50,000 in consideration of his aban- doning his marine profession. When, however, he made the proposition to Mrs. Garcelon she told him he had better go back to sea, but that she would like to have his wife and child remain with her. It was on this that Mrs. Garcelon requested Judge | | ) | | | | | Maine postmarks and might be from rela- | =Captain Franklin Purrington had given | Stanly to remove Captain Pmflngmn’s name from her will and from the list of her trustees and substitute the name of Harry Merritt. Just a little while before her death, late in December, 1891, she asked what had been done toward taking Captain Purrington out of her will; that she wanted him left out. On the day of Mrs. Garcelon’s death, Judge Stanly advised Judge Blake that a uyngicaw would be formed to break the trust, and that he had better notify Bow- doin Coilege to have some’one out here to look out for its interests. Judge Blake was a graduate of Bowdoin and a personal friend of the president, and it was due to these relations that the firm of Blake, Wil- liams & Harrison became the attorneys for the coilege. The litigation is to cost the numerous beirs nothing. Judge Garber, acting for them, will receive his pay from whatever amount the court may award as expenses. To-day the case will be continued. Judge Hayne will briefly and formally close for the plaintiffs, and the defense will then re- sume its case. THE TONER MTACHED Why the Tall Iron Structure in Golden Gate Park Stiil Stands. Creditors Who Were Not Paid Notl- fied the Commissloners Not to Take It Down. One of the monuments that remain to remind visitors of the spot where the Mid- winter Fair was, is the tall structure which was down on the bills as “Bonet’s steel electric tower.” The iron column, with its elevator that carried passengers to a point | 210 feet above the ground, was one of the | concessions. The syndicate that projected | it paid the Midwinter ¥air management | $5000 before breaking ground for the foun- | dation. The structure was put up—on | credit—but it did not prove a financial | success. | “The time came when the Park Com- missioners thought that the tower ought to come down, just the same as other structures that have been removed,” said Commissioner Austin yesterday, ‘‘but they were served with a notice from Sullivan & Sullivan, attorneys, to the effect that the Sheriff had levied an attachment on the tower, and that if the Commissioners un- dertook to remove it they would be held responsible in"the amount of the attach- ment. I understand that a man named | Goodman, who built the foundation, has a claim for $700, and that Ignatz Steinhart holds claims against the tower for some $7000. The whole thing is not worth more than old iron. | *Of course,”” continued Commissioner | Austin, “that notice can have no weight | with us, as this is public property and we | have the right to remove any obstruction | from it, but as it is not in the way just | now and no work is being done in ‘the | grand court it is allowed to remain.” | The Commissioner intimated that when | the proper time comes the Commissioners | will find means to have the tower removed. e — Tax COollector’s Report.

TROUBLE N THE JUNTA Daggett Is Sore Because Pop- per Controls the Watkins Commiittee. DIGGING UP RECORDS BEGINS. Some Men and Indicatlons That Partly Measure Buckley’s Present Strength. Max Popper’s resurrection to a new Democratic leadership in the cause of po- litical purity was the newest thing dis- cussed with interest when local Demo- crats met about town yesterday. Astold in Tre CALL yesterday Popper has suddenly become an active and influ- ential member of the vpolitical firm of McNab & Co., which is about to reorganize out of the party many Democrats who could not endure the presence of a Buckley man in it. McNab, Popper and Braun. hart are now the leaders of the Junta that are in view. Rainey, Daggett and Wel- burn are the other anti-Buckley leaders, but they keep in the shade and say they are out of local politics. It was said yesterday that Daggett has had his back up ever since he read the names of the twenty-five reorganizers in the general committee selected by the Junta and appointed by Chairman Wat- kins the other day to act with ihe Deuprey committee. He is indignant and friction may result. He is said to have looked over the list, frowned at the fourth name, frowned deeper at the sixth, exclaimed, “Wellibehang!"” when he saw “E. P. E. Troy,” and %o have been in a towering rage when he got through and summoned his man, ex-S8enator Arms, from his job in one of the departments of the Mint. “Say, Arms, who are ail these fellows and what do you think of ’em?”’ Daggett is represented as asking. ““Watkins, Harney, Denman, Leggett—" read Arms. ‘‘Yes, Leggett,” sniffed Daggett. Joseph Legfitt has the honor of being Confrassman aguire’s law partner. “There’s Harney, Denman, Leggett ana Merle of the seven at large—every one Pop- per mex, &in’t they?” observed Daggett. “Yes; and it’s a magnificent selection—I don’t think,” said Arms, as he ran his eye over the list. Now Daggett and Popper are bitter ene- mies, the enmity dating from some past conventiou and being greatly intensified by Popper’s reported efforts at Washington a year or so ago to discredit Daggett with the administration. AsDaggett and Arms analyzed the list they founs about nine- teen especial friends of Popper, Senator Fag and other of Daggett’s enemies in it, and the Mint Superintendent puiled his whiskers and cussed. He saw Popper’s handiwork in the committee and Popper’s risen influence in the field where he and Sam Rainey were leaders. That explains the story, ‘‘Daggett’s kicking.” It is said that he has plainly declared that it was displaying very little | consideration for him to put the friends of his enemies on the committee, and Max Popper has his special antipathy. How- ever, as Daggett works directly with Rainey and McNab and as it is not neces- sary for Daggett and Popper to personally consult, the two may continue to puil together for the common cause, because they hate Buckley more. The Buckley men are waiting with in- terest to know just what and how arbi- trary and revolutionary, as they term it, the next move of the reorganizing Junia will be. They now clearly foresee a - bi; factional contest before the State Central Committee ana possibly in the next State convention, and they are planninfilnnesd and seem as confident as are the Mec- Nabers. A foreshadowing of some future popular delights is contained in intimations made by several leading Buckley men yesterday political records that are now being pol- ished up for use, when there arises the direct issue of whether or notthe party shall be wholly handed over to them be- cause they represent all the decency in the party, and whether or not a powerful wing of the party is to have any voice or con- sideration. They want to know if Sam Rainey is so much purer than Chris Buck- ley that the people who are hand and glove with him should be given every- thing. They ask if a very great majority of local Democrats, whether they are in sympathy with Buckley or not, are going to heroically back up a lot of fetlows who have axes to grind. The Buckley men realize that the present strife isnot charac- terized lay motives of towering nobility on either side, and that the rank and file are showing a dis’gosmon to let the politicians fight it out. They are staking everything on a future showing of strength in a fight where might will mainly rule, and *‘organ- ization and numbers” broadly comprises the Buckley policy. Buckley’s strength in the general com- mittee lies mainly south of Market street, naturally. In the districts from the Twenty-eighth to the Thirty-sixth inclu- sive, Buckley is asserted to have collec- tively a good majority. The rest of his committee strength is scattered. .The Occidental Club's plan of organiza- tion has been steadill carried out during the past six weeks. club is organized in every district composed of carefully selected representatives of every precinct. These clubs are now nuclei which it will be the effort to enlarge. A majority of the members of the genernl committee have jobs—municipal, State or Federal—and the unta has the fellows with jobs. Buckley has the outs and many district influences that are effective with the boys and in rounding up the kind of votes that most determine primary elections. While Buckley is thus working cun- ningly downware heis working as shrewdly and as quietly upward. Well-known men give his faction prestige. The Buckley men say little when McNab cries ‘‘stew bums,” and when all influences opposed to Buckley cry him down as a false alarm with not a leg to stand on. Buckley’'s strength and the men who turn to him will be of constant interest. At the meeting of the Occidental Club the other night Attorney John H. Miller of Langhorn & Miller and Reel B. Terry, Sands Forman, Porter and Will Ashe, At torney Joseph Rothschild, Dr. Regan, A. T. Spotts, J.J. O'Byrne and James H. O’Brien were among the well-known men present. A. J. Clunie, C. H. Haswell (late candidate for Railroad Commissioner), Dr. Stanton, Henry Asche, Judge Levy, J. C. Nealon, Sam "Newman, P. F. Dundon, Fleet F. Strother, Recorder Thomas J. Glynn, J. J. Flynn, John Morton, Harry Wise, Thomas Ashworth, D. H. Bibh and Peter F. Dunne are among those more or less ope}l{:’ and cordiulfi] in sympath; with Buckley Then there are General Manager P. Noble, the ex-Supervisor, and Foreman L. J. McMann of the Pacific Rolling Mills, who are strong polititical influences and control many votes at the Potrero. Among others reckoned in the Buckley camp by Buckley men are Dr. Williama McCarty, once of the Board of Health, E. P. Cole, George R. B. Hayes, Charles L. Ackerman, Horace G. Platt %Buckley‘s attorney), W. B. Wilshire, rank Lester and others. These things indicate the strength that Buckle{ is attaining in the party and the possibilities of a red-hot row when a Junta :g'ies to throw overboard wholly this fac- ion. R. P. Hammond, president of thg Demo- cratic Societies of California, wants to call that several of the McNab purists have |° d second classes. Alameda just escapes :t‘x]e second class.
