16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1895. INDIGNANT MOTHERS CALL A MASS-MEETING Aroused by the Crimes of| Which 0ld Men Are Charged. PROOF ACCUMULATING. Christian Women Fear the Power of Wealth in Aid of the Accused. THERE WAS TALK OF LYNCHING Bailed—Other Charges to Be Made Against Him, Ratz and Meyer To-Day. Lane Judge Campbell’s courtroom was packed to the doors yesterday morning by men who were curious to see Captain Peter F. Lane, Leon R.Meyer and Philip Ratz, the three old men charged with criminal assault upon young girls. Lane is a white-haired old patriarch 78 years of ana almost deaf and blind. Meyeris 71 years of age, but in apparent possession of his faculties. Ratz is a short, stout man 56 years of age. The three were arraigned and their pre- liminary examination was set for to-mo: TOW, U their counsel should then a: for a further contin e. Judge Camp- bell refused to fix bail and they were taken back to the prison. There were angry mutterings among the spectators in court and threats of Iynch- ing were heard. Mrs. French and Mrs. Qatman of the Woman’s Christian Tem- perance Union were in the City Prison, and they did not hesitate to express their feeling of indignation against the three prisoners. Half a dozen other girls were taken to the City Prison yesterday morning by Policeman Rourke and Officers McMurray and Holbrook of the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Children and they identitied each of the prisoners. The chil- dren were placed, along with the five others, in the care of Matron Gilmore at the prison and will be kept there till they give their testimony against the prisoners. neral McComb of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chiidren says it isone of the most aggravated cases that has ever occurred in this Ci Thus far he has learned of between twenty-five and thirty little s wko have been victims of the three prisoners. Last evening Judge Low accepted bonds for Lane’s release. One bond was for $6000 and the other for $3000. It is-probable that additional charges will be registered against him to- Ve The ladies of the W. C. T. U. and its various branches, with Mrs. Rose French and Mrs. G. R. Oatman at their head, do not intend that the prosecution shall lose anvthing in the way of moral support and backing. The Jadies and their lieutenants visited all the churches where prayer-meeetings were held last night. and interested the rs of the congregations in the prose- After the younger persons had smissed the elder women were ad- dressed on the subject and urged to carry on an active campaign in the interest of been ¢ The Civic Federation has also taken up the matter and the members of that or- ganization will support the ladies in pack- ing Judge Campbell's courtroom Friday. Mrs. Rose French said last night: “We want the mothers of the City awakened to the awful state of affairs existing in our midst. That is the chief object of the mass-meeting called for Sunday. In my investications to-day I have discovered many things that are even unknown to the police, and the horror of the discov- eries is enough to muake every mother shudder and the fathers who have daunghters to become avengers. “But what we most want to accomplish in this immediate case is to enforce justice in he face of wealth. I understand that these men have means. One of them, I am told, is worth $300,000. If they were poor men they would suffer the fullest pen- alty of the law. Unless the moral element of the commubity takes up the battle their wealth will save them. That is why we want to pack the courtroom Friday after- noon. “The Civic Federation is with us heart and soul, and before we get through, the eyes of the mothers will be opened in horrified astonishment before the proof of the terrible influences to which the daughters of the land are submitted.” After addressing the prayer meetings the ladies decided to a call a mass-meeting of mothersto be hela at the Central Methodist Church Sunday afternoon. At this meeting the crimes of which Lane, Ratz and Meyer are accused will be denounced and a crusade against vice will be inaugurated. TRYING THE TOBIN CASE. An Action for Damages Fraught With Some Interesting Incidents. The First Day’s Evidence Gives Every Promise of Another Interest. ing Trial. The trial of the suit of Mrs. Elizabeth Tobin against the Pacific Coast Blood- horse Association, Thomas H. Williams, its president, and Captain Callundan of Harry Morse’s detective agency, was opened before Judge Dougherty yesterday. Mrs. Tobin was ejected from the betting- ring at the Bay District Track on Decem- ber 10, 1892, and was afterward expelled from the track and taken to a police station, where she was charged with dis- turbing the peace. She says she was unnecessarily humiliated and she has brought suit for $25,000 damages. The trial begun yesterday is but a con- tinuation of a trial some months ago in which the jury failed to agree, and like the former case the evidence is not coming in smoothly. There was a fainting fit and an exchange of high words during the morning, the plaintiff herself being the principal figure in the first event, and ‘Williams as a witness and Matt Sullivan, counsel for the plaintiff, appeared in tbe second. In the afternoon “Fat Jack” O’Cornnor aired his views regarding Mr. Foote and Mr. Foote performed a like office on bebalf of O’Connor. The fainting fit was sudden, and caused quite a commotion in the courtroom. Mrs. Tobin was on the-stand,and Mr. Foote was cross-examining her ‘when her head bobbed forwatd and she remamned silent even to Mr. Foote’s questions. Ir amo- ment the space behind the bar seemed full of bailiffs and counsel and witnesses for the plaintiff, each bounding toward- the witness. Mr. Sullivan, in his efforts to carry her a glass of water, turned over the pitcher on the judicial desk, and his honor received the icy contents in the waistband; his' book of notes had to be placed ona line to dry, and his blotting ad was scaked through. The fainting ady was finally borne out of the court- room to a chair in the corridor, and there she revived, while Thomas Williams was called to the stand. This is the second fainting fit the trial has cost the plaintiff; in the former trial similar circumstances brought a similar result. Williams was but a short time on the stand when matters began to assume serious proportions. Mrs. Tobin had tes- tified that the first time she saw Williams in the betting ring he asked her to take a drink with him. She refused and threat- ened toslap his face. Williams says he first saw her when she slapped him on the back and asked him which horse was going to win. He took further occasion to that what Mrs. Tobin had testified to was not true and that she had perjured herself. “Never mind,"” said Sullivan, “the jury will determine whether she is committing perjury or you are.” “Do you mean to say I am committing ” Williams asked, excitedly, and jumping from the witness chair he shook his fist in Sullivan’s face and demanded that he make his charge in plain lan- guage and then come out into the corridor and settle the matter without judicial in- terference. The judicial interfetence was there, however, and the belligerent Mr. Williams was obliged to sit aown quietly. Recess brought with it surcease of wrangling, and Jndge Dougherty got down from the bench and sat in the sun through the noon hours. When court convened again his Honor was still the coolest of the lot, although the signs of contention had disappeared to a great extent from counsel. - They returned to Mr. Foote, for the defense, and Mr. O’Connor, plaintiff’s witness, once more, however, before court closed. Mr. O'Connor, better known as “Fat Jack” O’Connor, had been called to tell how he had threatened to break the face of any one who would hit the lady; how the crowd at the track cheerea him and E’eered defendant and his hirelings, and how it was he who insisted that the lady be driven to the police station in a back instead of the more homely vehicle usu- ally assigned to that duty. Mr. Foote | asked if the hack had not stopned at | Dickey’s, and the rotund Mr. O'Connor | admitted that it had stopped in order that a glass of “something’’ might be secured for the fainting lady—and inci- dentally that something more might be secured by Mr. O'Coanor for his own nerves. Mr. Foote asked if he was a drinking man. The witness said he had always been willing to assist the liquor trade, and that he took a drink now and then, “just as you do yourself, Mr, Foote.”” This wus stricken out, and Mr. Foote declined to | admit that he was.in any way & devotee of red liquor. Mr. O'Connor courteously in- sisted upon his comparison, and then Mr. Foote arnouncea that he deciined to con- sider himself in the O'Connor class at all. Mr. O’Connor said he, too, was discrim- inating in the choice of his friends. Matt Sullivan insisted the whole matter was irrelevant and should be stricken out, and his Honor sat in his chair unable to get a word in edeeways until he had seized a ruler and had joined the bailiff in a duet on table and desk. Then most of the mat- ter was stricken from the record, for the shorthand man had taken it all aown, and the trial assumed a quieter course toward the 4 o’clock adjournment. ADROITLY MADE TO TALK, Attorney Campbell Succeeds in Unloosing Marvin L. Free- man’s Tongue. A Most Dramatic Scene in Commis” sioner Heacock’s Room—An Amusing Ending. As clever a bit of legal acumen as was probably ever displayed in a courtroom in this City developed yesterday in the cele- brated Freeman-Westinghouse patent case on hearing before Commissioner Heacock. It was also dramatic in its result and Joseph Campbell was the hero. Marvin L. Freeman, one of the witnesses brought here by the Westinghouse people, had on Tuesday refused to answer certain questions asked by counsel for the defend- ant on the ground that to do so would in- criminate him, ana in this way escaped having to answer a charge of contempt of court before Circuit Judge McKenna. His position was taken under instruction of John L. Boone, his counsel, who explained that witness since his arrival here had been induced, by undue influence, threats and trickery, to make an affidavit contra- dicting his former deposition made at Chi- cago, and that if he were to answer ques- tious relating to the matter in his Chicago deposition he would lay himself liable to prosecution for perjury gy one side or the other. During the course of his redirect exami- nation yesterday morning by Attorney Mackaye on behalf of the W{ninghouse Company, the witness stated, on being shown a certain docnment claimed to be his affidavit contradicting his Chicago deposition, that he had not signed such a statement. This was the admission that made the opening for Attorney Joseph Campbell, and which was adroitly used to change the mental attitude of the witness, unloose his tongue and induce him to -| give testimony directly against the defend- ant. whose witness he is. When the afternoon session began ex- pectancy was raised to a high pitch by the presence of Attorney Campbell. There was a close conference between him and Mackaye, and also between the witness and his attorney, before the session opened. Something akin to consternation became depicted on the countenance of the witness, his counsel, Attorney Church, and his client when Campbell in a tone that intimated he would brook no evasion asked the witness the question that he has already twice evaded answering since he has been on the stand. 1t reluted to the induction coils or converter on which is wmcipnlly based the patent claims of alter K. Freeman, the plaintiff in the suit. The witness was asked if he had seen them at a time and place stated in his Chicago deposition. There ensued a long and profound silence which was finally interrupted by Attorney Boone, who instructed the witness not to answer. Then another wait. Becoming impatient at last Attorney Campbell re- marked suavely to witness, “Will you please answer?” Witness—Will you Plene give me time until 1 get ready? A little later came: “I refuse to answer, as to do so would in- criminate me.”” Campbell-Would it tend to convict you of a telony} Witness—I am really notenlightened enough to say whether it would or not. Campbell—Then you do not put your refusal toanswer this question upon the ground that it would convict you of a felony? Witness—I think it woula. Campbell-Then you think your this question would tend to convict you of a felony, and on that ground you refuse to answer? Witness—I do. Campbell—Is that your sole reason? Witness—Yes. Campbell—If you should answer the question, you would answer it truthfully? Witness—Yes. Campbell—And the former deposition you gave in this case you claim to be true? ‘Witness—I do. Campbell—Then wiil you please explain how, 1f this is true and you answer this question, it ‘would tend to convict you of a felony? Here there was another Jong pause and there was a clearly apparent mental strain on every one present, for all realized that the crisis had come and that witness must either abandon his obdurate posi- tion or take chances on being punished for contempt of court. The witness had himself repudiated the alleged contra- dictory affidavit, and both witness and his attorney evidently saw the dangerous ground witness was resting upon. Mar- vin L. Freeman, however, had repeatedly averred that he would not answer the auestions involved and would rather go to jail than do so. But the mental picture of yawning jail doors conjured up by the tone, manner and words of Attorney Campbell proved too much for the witness. Relief from the tense situation came through Attorney Boone. He asked per- mission for witness to consult with him, which was promptly granted by Attorney Campbell. Witness and his attorney absented themselves from the room for a few minutes, and on their return Mr. Boone made the following announce- ment: ‘*Counsel for witness states that now and here witness waives any claim or right under the plea of incriminating himself, relating to any testimony heretofore given by him, and will answer any questions put to him.” An audible sigh of relief went up from all sides, and Attorney Campbell arose, re- marking: " ““Well, I guess I’ve got no fur- ther business here.” “I thought you were going to continue the examination of witness,” said Attorney Church in a regretiul tone. “Oh, no; Iam not sufficiently posted on electrical technicalities,”” responded Camp- “For that matter I will lend you some books to post yourself,”” was Church’s gen- erous response. Attorney Campbell’s hands went up in mock horror as he laughingly and quickly replied: *No you don't. You loaned one man some of your books, and he is now serving six months in the Alameda jail for contempt of court.” After Attorney Campbell’s departure Mackaye began the direct examination of the witness de novo, and he testified as he had done at Chicago in favor of Walter K. Freeman. When Attorney Mackaye was asked whether Marvin L. Freeman was to be prosecuted for perjury in connection with bis affidavit made’in this City he replied that that was a matter for future consid- eration, The plaintiff claims that the victory of Attorney Campbell over Marvin L. Free- man was of the greatest advantage to him, | as it had been impossible for him to induce Marvin to test to his fears of be as he is now doing, owing ng prosecuted for perjury in connection with the affidavit Mackaye claims to have. The case continues to-day. 10 SUE STOCKHOLDERS, Unpaid Capital of the People’s Bank Wanted for Liquid- ation. John Flournoy Will File One Hun- dred and Seventy Com- plaints. Suits are soon to be brought in the inter- est of the several hundred depositors who suffered through the failure of the Pedple’s Bank. By resolution passed at a meeting of the board of directors several months ago the unpaid capital stock, amounting to two- thirds of $1,000,000, was called in. Accord- ing to the terms of the resolution, John Fiournoy, the attorney for the bank, was authorized to take such steps as he deemed necessary to comypel the payment of the unpaid stock if the same was in default after the 28th of August. The stockholders were given until the 1st of November to pay up. Subsequently a resolution was submitted at a session of the board of directors extending the time until the 1st of December. That resoiu- tion did not meet the approval of a major- ity of the directors, and “now Attorney Flournoy is making his preparations for bringing suit to collect six hundred and sixty odd thousand dollars for the benefit of the depositors. Phe original capital stock was §1,000,000. | Only one-third was paid up, and under 2 | scetion of the by-laws the directors are given the power and authority to call in the other two-thirds whenever it may be deemed necessary and to the best interests of the institution. As one of the resolu- tions set forth, the liabilities exceed the assets by more than 663; per cent of the entire capital stock, and if the full amount of the unpaid stock was realized it would lack much of making the depositors even. The defendant-stockholders will number between 160 and 170. Attorney Flournoy said yesterday that it is doubtful whether a third of the stock can be collected. ““There are many men,” he said, “how- ever willing they might be, who are un- able to pay up. - Much of 'the stock was transierred for voting purposes, and many of the present holdersare not solvent. The percentaze of solvent holders, in fact, is small, and therefore, I say, it is question- able whether we can recover more than a third. No matter how these 170 suits re- sult it will be for the benefit of those who have suffered the most—the depositors. There is also much doubt about the other assets. The City and County property be- longing to the bankis an exzreme!l;edouub- ful quantity. Property that has been as- sessed at $160,000, we will say for example, mizht not sell for more than $130,000, The same discrepnn:f is liable to occur in the disposition of all the bank’s realty posses- sions. ‘“‘But we will do the best we can for the suffering depositors, and get hold of as much stockholder money as possible.” WeAR ordinary underwear,keep your cold ;wear Jaros hygienic underwear and lose it; nealth and money saver.

Time to Strike a Blow at Hated John Bull. The movement recently started in this City among the Irish-American citizens, looking toward the formation of a com- pany to aid the Cuban insurgents in their straggle for independence, has at last as- sumed definite shape. The Irish-American Cuban Volunteers, as the military organization is known, held an enthusiastic meeting yesterday. It appears, from the statement of those directly concerned, that they are now Organizer D. Cronin Says Now Is the | CUBAN VOLUNTEERS NEARLY READY TO MARCH ——— wntinfi an opportunity to haul down the Union Jack—the sons of the fatherland want but a pretext to clash swords with them. Now is the time for loyal irishmen to organize and be ready to strike ‘a blow at that pirate nation England, and avenge the wrongs of 700 years ot tyranny and oppression. SR AR LOUD IS CAUTIOUS. Proposes to Awalt Further Devel- opments Before Recognizing the Insurgents. Congressman Eugene F. Loud is inclined to be somewhat cauti us in dealing with the | Cuban situation. In speaking of the prob- ability of the insurgents being recognized as a belligerent power, he said: “My sympathies are with the Cubans, as I believe are those of all Americans, whose sympathies are generally with the weaker nation. “With my knowledge of the situation I should not favor the recognition of the | Cubans as belligerents at this time. We have gotv to get at the official correspond- ence on the matter. When it shall appear to my mind that the insurgents in Cuba have established a government which is well sustained and seems strong enough to carry on a successful revolution then I shall favor the recognition of the beiliger- ents., “Tam 1nclined -to be cautious, because | the Cubans are a peculiar composition as a | Feople. This is a question that I should ike to investigate myself. It is conceded that a large portion of the people in Cuba are negroes, half-breeds and their off- spring, and they possibly may not be the best kind of peoble to manage the affairs of the Government. “These are important questions that every legislator must investizate and un- derstand before he gives his support to the \ AN 3 R LIEUTENANT D. QAR T CRONIN. practically ready to move, and may any day hie themselyes in squads of two and four to a certain Atlantic coast point, where transportation to the island is already assured them. Captain Robinson, at whose place of business on Mission street the meeting was held, occupied the chair. Several communications were read from men anx- ious to cast their lot with the movement, the officers and organizers also reporting success in the matter of enrolling recruits. Many applications were rejected. as none but recognized sympathizers witn the Irish cause are allowed to participate. From all over America have come let- ters offering financial aid and sympathy and wishing the volunteers Godspeed in the undertaking. Every Irish society of notein America has taken notice of the San Francisco movement. From Roch- ester. N. Y., comes the following letter, which is a fair sample of ,the hundreds re- ceived. For obvious reasons the name of the writer is withheld : ROCHESTER, N. Y., Nov. 7, 1895, D. J. Cronin Esq.—DEAR SIR: You may be sure that I um pleased to know that the cause of liberty has earnest friends in San Francisco. You will understand that I am simply an in- strument in the hands of others, takiug orders from them and acting only through them. At present the watchword is *‘silence.” In any manner that I can aid or direct in forwarding men to Cuba cail on me. I am proud that such & company as the Cnban Volunteers is being organized in your City and in my own behalf as well as others directly interested send greeting and God- speed in the noble work you are doing. The cause should be dear to every man who breathes the breath of liberty in our own free America. Yours in sympathy, XA The writer of this is one of the best known of the American-Irish leaders, and consequently a statement of this sort should be worth something. i Lieutenant Lorrigan gave a graphic de- scription of Cuba and its surroundings, go- ing into minute detail concerning the mili- tary posts, their locations, the various accessible harbors and the lookout points to be avoided. Lorrigan claims to have traveled all over Cuba and consequently knows every foot of the ground. Corporal ‘Casey of the commissary de- partment made an encouraging report, in which he stated that everything needed was either on hand or promised in such shape as to be accessible at 8 moment’s notice. The committee on transportation stated that they had nearly perfected ar- rangements for from 100 to 500 men to be transported to the Kastern coast to a point not yet agreed on. They asked for an- other week’s time. Several communications were read from local and Eastern Irish-Americans as well as from men of other nationalities, the writers appearing full of enthusiasm and promising the volunteers substantial aid as soon as marching orders were sent out. Captain Robinson and D. Cronin spoke at length on the encouraging reports from Cuba and of the almost assured success of the insurgents. Cronin in his closing re- marks said: The British lion will soon be bearded in his lair by the American eagle and the Russian bear.” The war clouds are already hovering over John Bull's head. The people of this Ke- public will not allow him to trample on the Mounroe doctrine. Our sister republics will not tolerate British tyranny, and Canada is only —_— recognition of the Cubans. As an Ameri- can I would be willing to take any reason- able steps that would result in benefit to our country. A proper and stable form of government there would certainly result in great benefits to the trade of the United States. “I suppose a resolution might be intro- duced in the House, but it would be an unueual proceeding, as the recognition of the insurgents is a matter for diplomatic rather than legislative action. It would most properly come before Congress b; gzenns of a recommendation by the Presi- ent. “I am heartily in favor of local govern- ment for all countries, and am, on the other hand, heartily opposed to the Gov- ernment of Cuba or any other country by a monarchical government.” INSPECTED THE MORGUE. Expert Atkinson Thinks the Grand Jury Will Condemn 1t. ‘W. A. Atkinson, the Grand Jury expert, made an inspection of the Morgue yester- day, and pronounced it in better condition than it bad been for years. Coroner Hawkins has made a number of improve- ments, and Mr. Atkinson thought they were sorely needed. However, Mr. Atkinson said that the building itseli was unfit for a Morgue, and he ventured a belief that the Grand Jury would condemn the present Morgue and instruct the Board of Supervisors to provide a suitable one. é $PLAYS OVER 1000 TUNES and Cheap Enough to Be in Every Home in America.
