4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY; FEBRUARY 1896 SHOULD IT Bt JUDGE OR JURY? + Which Is Supreme in a Civil Case in the Superior Court? EUGENE DEUPREY’S TEST Objects to Judge Daingerfield's Radical Charge to the Jury. TWELVE MEN DO LIKEWISE. Jurors Desire to Reverse the Verdict They Gave Under His Honor's Order. Attorney Eugene N. Deuprey is making an effort at this time to know whether the judge or the jury is supreme in civil cases. It is in the recently decided case wherein Asa Fisk obtained judgment against John Mallon, before Judge Daingerfield, for some amount over $3700 on a promissory note. The decision was given on the 4th of this month, and since then the twelye jurors who passed on the case have de they were inauced into error, or rather, they allowed themselves to be influenced by the court’s charge, into passing judg- ment in-the premises regardless of their own conviction. Attorney Deuprey, who has been made acquainted with this state of affairs, has secured an affidavit from the jury ‘to be used to-morrow in his appeal for a new trial. If Judge Daingerfield refuses to al- low the appeal, the affidavit will be pre- sented on the same line to the Supreme Court. The case at issue is very pecu It is more 8o than the cases usualiy t ht up by Asa Fisk, the well-known money-lender. The affidavit reads that the charge made to the jurors by the court leit them no al- ternative but to find a verdict for the plaintiff without assessing an amount, or else to fix the amount in favor of the plaintiff at $3790, which Fisk prayed for in his complaint. In the affidavit the jurors say they were coerced by the court, and not permitted to use their own discretion under penalty of being held in cont In other words, Judge Daingerfield med the high plane of judge and j To this the jurors demur 1n their affidavit, and ask that John Mallon be given a new trial, or else that the verdict given on February 4 be con- strued as reversed and in favor of the de- fendant. M. M. Estee and Arthur Fisk, a rela- tive of the money-lender, are the attorneys on the Fisiz end of the case, and they will be served with the notice of application for thenew trial, It is brief, with the excep- tion of the jurors’ affidavit, but the history behind it is full of 1nterest. Some thirteen years ago John Mallon, who is now a partner of Harbor Commis- sioner Chadbourne, accommodated his iepd, John Hill, a real estate man, by ing his note for §250. Hill claimed it Was bul & temporary accommodation, as thelnote wonld be transierred to a friend of his and would be taken upin afew days. Instead of that Hill discounted the note for $200 with Asa Fisk and allowed it to remain with him on that gentleman’s cum- ulative plan of interest. At different times, hoping toyhelp Hill out of his financial incubus, Malion paid to Fisk amounts aguregating $1200, ex- pecting that Hill would settle the note held by Fisk. Butin 188 F been an acquaintance of Mallon' pioneer days, sent his secretary, Mr. Lang, to tell Mallon that there was one sure way in which both could get all that was due them from Hill. All Mallon need do was to sign the note, or rather renew it so as to make it valid, as it was nearly out- lawed, and Fisk had an inkling “where they could levy on some of Hill’s prop- erty. Mallon signed the note. Fisk had told him privately he would never be held re- spongible for the indorsement, and he felt not only secure in not having to pay the principal, but he saw his way cleer to get back the amount he had paid out in in- terett. But, according to Mr. Mallon’s state- ment in court, he only signed a note for , which, when Fisk brought the suit, was produced as a note for $2000. With interest added, the indebtedness figured up to $3790. The details of the loan by Fisk, Mal- lon’s indorsement of the note, the interest he had paid in behalf of Hill and the busi- ness hardships he had undergone through his act of kindness, were all explained to the jury in Judge Daingerfield’s court, and the affidavit these ““twelve honest men and true” have placed at the disposal of At- torney Eugene N. Deuprey in his fight for a new trial states: “We desire to reverse the decision we were compelled to give for plaintiff, under | | the instructions from the court. There is another phase of the court pro- ceedings which is commented upon by the ® attorneys who have bad dealings with tne case. 1t seems that as soon as Asa Fisk brought -suit against John Mallon for $3790 the people with whom be had had | business relationship for years, and who were always pleased to extend him credit for unlimited time, shut down on him and likewise brought suit. Whittier, Fuller and A. H. Winn)\iwo firms dealing in plate glass, sued for $5000 each. The German and the Fren~h Bank each sued for outstanding accounts and the local banks refused to longer accept Mal- lon’s paper. Mallon felt himself injured and in a cross-complaint before Judge Troutt_he asked for $25,000 damages, or rather he claimed be was entitled to that much money as damages to his business characier. Judge Troutt sustained the cross-vomplaint, but when it came before Judge Daingeriield in the trial of the case it was not admitted in evidence. Taking this and other things into con- sideration the twelve jurors who gave a verdict for Fisk now want to have their dictum reversed. The names of these gentlemen are: Simon Furth, T. R. Hor- ton, 8. Fisher, William Mocker, Platt Conklin, Joseph N. Nounan, Albert Fol- som, Simon Klindt, Lawrence W. Coe, O. P. James, Peter Ringen and J. A. Emer- son.

WAS “AN UNHOLY CONTRACT.” \ The Supreme Court on Levy’s and Hayward’s Scheme to * Defraud the Company,” W. T. Baggett for the plaintiff in the Hale & Norcross mining case ended the argument with a terrible arraignment of the methods by which over a million dol- lars’ worth of bullion have disappeared from that mine, leaving not even the “color” behind. “Thege men (the defendants) must have been moral idiots,”” said he, “‘or else they would not have come into this court again and tried to plead their innocence. They do not seem to understand the crime they have committed. They have béen so long engaged in this nefarious business that possioly they claim it ‘to be their special privilege to despoil the innocent and ig- norant.” ' W. E. F. Deal, for the defense, said in ent yesterday morning that Judge , for the plaintiff, had accused defendants’ witnesses—millmen brought from Nevada—of suppressing evi- dence of the fact that gold remained in the battery and did not.show in the bat- tery assays. He held that this was a mis- take, and all the assays were more likely to err than that the men should withhold evidence, Counsel claimed that in this case the gold and silver in the ore was $2,225,300, as shown by the battery assays. “We returned,” said he, **$1,678,921 61, which was all that should have beern re- turned, and this is every dollar the com- pany is entitled to.” Mr. Deal explained to the court in full detail that $14 ore could be milled at a profit of §1 78 per ton. This was unsafe ground/for Mr. Deal to venture on, as he soon learned. “If what you say is true,” asked Mr. Baggett, “‘what would be the profit for the mill working $38 35 ore?” Counsel for the defendants very wisely refused to answer. As a matter of fact, according to his calculations, about $25 should have been returned to the mine. As there were 84,088 tons milled from the Hale & Norcross during the time men- tioned in the suit this would bring the returns up to $2,101,700. Counsel had just contended tha: $1,678,921 61 was ol the mine was entitled to. Regardless of the fact that the Superior and Supreme courts have delared the Leyy contract to be a fraud Mr. Deal contended that if Levy owned the Nevada mill and was 2lso a director in the Hale & Norcross Mining Company that fact would not in- validate the contract, as such contracts were not illegal as be understood the law. Mr. Deal said the plaintif’s witness, Tangermann, was a failure, and had been imposed upon by the plaintiff and his attorneys. He exhibited a model of the mortar of a mill to prove that gold could not remain in the battery, although many of the witnesses for the defendants had testified that gold sulphurets did remain in the battery of the Nevada mili, anfl in one clean-up as much as fifty pounds were found in each of the twelve mortars. Because Levy and Hayward had made an illegal Contract, held Mr. Deal at the close of his argument, tie court should not look upon everything connected with the defendants’ side of the case as tainted with fraud. - The defendants had suffered already for ysum | this contract (in the judgment of $210,000 | for iliegal milling), and they should not | be made to suffer 2 second time. | _W. T. Baggett for the plaintiff, W. M. Fox, in the opening of his argument said : I had intended to give in detail much of the testimony, but in order to close the case as | speedily as possible 1 will merely outline and read such portions of the testimony as will | g1ve the court necessary information. | The whole defense rests on the battery as- | says. The Supreme Court does not confine | this court to the battery assays, as has been claimed by the defendants’ attorney. There has been a strong effort made here to bring | the question of the contract up again. This court has declared those contracts to be fraudulent, and the Sufremb Court has sus- tamed the declaration. It was an unlawful | and unholy contract, entered into between | Levy and Hayward to rob the stockholders of the Hale & Norcross mine. These men giust be moral idiots, or else they would not have | come into this court sgain and try to plead their innocence. They do not seem to under- “?“ddme nature of the crime they have com- mitted. Fifteen years ego, before this infamous cus- tom of milling was introduced on the Com- stock and before the methods of checking all mills were abandoned, the mills were obliged to return a specified sum as shown by the car sample assays. But when the mill rings got in power they abolished these checking systems, and when they are caught stealing, their at. torneys come into court and claim that their crime shall be measured by the battery sys- tem, over which they have sole control. Fifteen years of pillage and infamy which this mill ring has_established is unparalleled in the history of mining. All the witnesses brought here by the defense in this case gave testimony based on the infamous practice. I am glad to represent the Moses, as this plaintiff has been styled by the other side. It 1s & happy title, for this Moses will lead some of the stockholders in silver mines out of a wilderness of systematic bondage. Mr. Baggett said that he was sorry to see counsel for the defense attempting to | cast ridicule at a Justice of the Supreme | Court simply because that official had only confirmed the decision of the lower court that the Hale & Norcross stock- holders had been systematically robbed in strong unmistakable terms. He referred to Mr. Mackay's deposition in which witness said that car assays from 50,000 or 100,000 tons of ore taken at differ- ent times would fully closely approxim- ate the value of the ore. Mackay meant just what be said and there could be no mistake there. That witness also claimed | that there was an average of -about $5 be- | tween battery and car assays. The record shows that the 84,068 tons of ore by car assay was §3,224,226 53, which less §5 per ton would be over $2,803,000. The losses in moisture and slimes would leave a bal- ance of $2,444,514 82. There was only $1,678,921 76 returned. Counsel then produced the following fig- ures of ore returns to show that the judg- ment, $651,253 61—the silver discount taken out, asked by the plaintiff, is not exces- give: According to Expert Maxwell’s and Ryan’s testimony it should be §664,674 31; according to Expert Kinkead it shoul be $680,547 48; according to the Overman mine, worked from 1890 to 1892, where 54,000 tons returned 76.40 per cent of car assays, it should be $668,804 81; according to the Consolidated Virginia ore, which in 1895 returned 83.30 per cent of railroad- car assays, the judgment should be for $856,490 07; if it_had been worked as well as the Hale & Norcross was worked last year, when 89 per cent of the railroad-car assays were returned, the judgment shouid be for $900,000. “Lverybody knows that Mr. Mnc]uy runs_the Consolidated Virginia mine,” said Mr. Baggett, “‘and that he owns one- third of the Comstock Mill and Mining Company and he compels the milling con- tracts to be signed by the officers of that company at the rate of 70 per cent of the battery assays. This jear that company has returned 89 per cent of the battery as- says. No such returns were made by that company or any other before this suit was ZUn. ' ‘‘Now Hale & Norcross ore returns 89 eer cent of the car assay, Consolidated Virginia 83 of car and Overman 76, and these defendants are here in court clamor- ing that the Hale & Norcross returns of 52 per cent—while the steal was on—were enough. Justice Garoutte said in his de- cision thatit was not enough and every- body knew it.” The case was submitted.

Senator White Backs Greggains, the Buckleyite, Whose Removal Is Not Approved. Superintendent of the Mint Daggett has gone to Washington in response to ad- ministration summons, and in,a few days u few things will be likely to pop. It is an almost unprecedented thing for a mint superintendent or Government official of like position to be summoned to ‘Washingtou to answer for alleged deeds and misdeeds, but that is why John Dag- gett has gone. His going was a very quiet one. He slipped away on the overland train last Wednqsduy night without mak- ing any announcement of his departure, and the journey he was on was not known even among employes of the Mint until a day or two later. When Daggett gets to Washington the charges filed and urged against him by Congressman Maguire, his tussle with his political enemies and the patronage mess in which he has kent himself ever since he assumed office, will all be brought to a focus. It is not thought likely that Ma- guire and others will succeed in getting him removed, but when . he gets through with his explanations and with the coun- ter-roasts which he has ready for his enemies, he will likely listen to the read- ing of some law. The disenm;fe of Alexander _Grefgnms, the Democratic politician of the Thirty. third District, on November 30 last, be- cause he displayed fealty to Buckley in- stead of hustling for Daggett and Rainey in the local fi%ht in the generai commii-~ tee, is one of two or three things that brought the fight over Daggett to a focus. Greggains pmmfitly won the backing of two elements—the Buckleyites and many enemies of Daggett outside the Buckley camp. Greggainsis a popular fellow be- sides. Then his discharge gave Daggett’s opponents another chance to urge that Dagget was disfla_ying ‘‘pernicious activ- ity” in local politics and gemerally using his patronage power, in flagrant violation of the declared policy of President Cleve- land that offensive partisanship and other golitlcnl indecencies should be avoided by eads of departments. : . A vigorous protest against Greggains’ dismissal was filed with the Director of the Mint and well backed up. According to law and regulations the dismissal of an employe by a mint superintendent must be approved by the Director of the Mint before it becomes final. Ordinarily such a dismissal would be approved as a matter of form without inqu but private ad- vices from Washington show that the Di- rector of the Mint has flatly disapproved Daggett's action. If Daggett does not con- vince Director Preston and Secretary Car- lisle that his dismissal of Greggains shoula be approved as a measure of discipline, if nothing else, Greg; 8 will be reinstated ana draw his pay for the time he has been &onnng. and Daggett will appear badly sav own on. Anotber little thing that has kept the fuss going in Washington was the way Daggett tried to trick Coiner Spotts into refusing to nominate a lady for appoint- ment in his department at the request of Secretary Carlisle himself. About six weeks ago Mr. Daggett received from Di- rector Preston a letter saying that Secre- tary Cariisle desired the appointment of a certain lady in the coiner’s department in the place of another employe. The See- retary of the Treasury has no power to make such appointments, but this letter was a tolerably strong puil for the lady in questioh, Under the law all appointees in the coiner’s department must be nomi- nated by the coiner himself, but approved by the superintendent of the Mint as well as in Washington. Daggett is a bitter enemy of his coiner, who is a Presidential appointee, and so beyond his direct con- trol, and he thought he saw 2 chance to et Spotts into trouble at Washington, too. go he merely sent to Mr. Spotts by mes- senger the name given, with the verbal word that Mr. Daggett wanted a nomi- nating letter. Mr. Spotts wanted some information about who and how compe- tent the lady was, as he had never heard of her before, andydeclined to nominate her without a littl¢finformation. Daggett made no further communication to Spotts, and pointers from Washington indicate that Daggett sent back word that Mr. Spotts refused to accede to the request of the Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Spotts, however, had smelt a rat, and a short time ago secured the information from Washington that the lady’s appoint- ment was desired by Secretary Carlisle. The nominating letter was at once sent to Daggett, and the lady will presumably be an accountant under Mr. Spotts in a few days. Spotts saved himself from bein, a persona non grata in Washington, an Secretarly] Cartisle heard of the waf Dag- gett got his fair political friend a place in San Francisco. This, and one or two other atronage complications now pending, elped keep the San Francisco Mint in the lorezroundp of the administrative troubles of Messrs, Preston and Carlisle. These little things are merely supple- mentary to the charges against Daggett which Congressman Maguire filed when he returned to Washington a few weeks ago. The two charges, tfiat Daggett neglected his duties by being away on private busi- ness a large share of the time and that he had invited the Mint employes to sub- scribe to Rosalie mining stock, are not apt to have great weight, especially since the Rosalie mine 1s reported to be turning out pretty well. eSS But the other charge is being made the most of. Maguire has told President Cleveland, Secretary Carlisle and Diregtor Preston all about Daggett's discharging the sister of Senator Gesford, the brother of Senator Biggy and the brother of Sen- ator Fay because these Senators did not give Daggett their complimentary Demo- cratic votes for United States Senator, and about Biggy losing the Mint washing for the same reason. He has recited other similar patron: doings of Daggett, his pnmeugip with Sam Rainey to do local politics and his sending for employes and ordering them to get out and hustle for his end of the local Democratic fight. The story that Daggett called in Alexander Gregeains, as he did others, and told him what to do, and then discharged him be- cause he didn’t doit, has been told in Washington as another example of how Daggett is running the Mint here, and his interviews in which he declared that he was running the Mint, and thas no Buck- ley man could stay around him, bave been placed on file, The administration is asked if it can | stomach this sort of business and this sort of a man. So now Mr. Daggett is to have & chance to explain how he is running the Mint and what he thinks a Mint is for. Senator White has been a strong backer of Maguire in the matter, and has been espegially active in behalf of Greggains, throfigh the influence of prominent Demo- cratic friends here and through his per- sonal antipathy to Daggett. The enmity between White and Daggett began at the Stockton convention in 1884, when Dag- gett was read out of the party. It was in- creased at the State conveation in Oad Fellows’ Hall, San Francisco, in 1886, when Daggett madé an ineffectuai effort to de- feat White for the chairmanship. From that convention, too, dates Daggett’s hos- tilitytoBuoklay. Buckley refused to op- pose White and Daggett broke with him, It is said that while Daggett is in Wash- ington he will attend to some other busi- ness besides meeting the charges and pro- tests with' which he is concerned. He pro- poses to see if he cannot get the Mint building overhauled, repaired and im- proved. The structure was built many years ago, and several thousand dollars expended on its copper roofand in some / Murphy Building, needed architectural changes would be | Harket and Jones Stregts. e HILADELPHIA SHOE CO. ‘What Maguire Says.

Max Katzauer was yesterday found guilty of conspiracy in the United States District Court on three different indict- ments. The jury was out three hours. Katzauer, who was allowed out on bail some time ago, was rearrested yesterday afternoon and locked up in a cell at the County Jail. Katzauer took his conviction caimiy. The prospect of *mssing a few years in San Quentin with Ciprico and Foss did not seem to worry him in the least. He ex- pected, however, that a verdict in his fa- vor would be brought in, as the jury, dis- agreeing upon several points, had returned for instructions. Katzauer was originally indicted for forging and circulating forged Chinese cer- tificates. He belonged to the old Ciprico gang of certificate forzers, and his convie- tion was eagerly sought by ihe Federal authorities. —————— the DONT PASS THIS B, JOW IS THE TIME TO BUY CHEAP, AS WR are stlll blockaded by the Spreckels fence, and we are willing Lo make big reductions in the prices | of on sas an inducement Lo Our customers.
