THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1896. 11 FOX AGAIN GETS HEAVY JUDGMENT, Latest Decision in the Hale and Norcross Case. TWO SUMS IN ONE. Judge Hebbard’s Opinion on the Charge of Fraudulent Milling. RETURNS WERE PLAINLY FALSE Together the Two Amounts Agzre- gate Far Over Six Hundred Thousand. One more aecision in the Hale & Nor- cross case has been entered in the records, this time by Judge Hebbard of the Supe- rior Court. The decision was rendered in that phase of the case which relates to the fraudulent milling of the ore. It had been tried be- fore Judge Hebbard and hisjudgment was for $789,618. The Supreme Court reversed this as being excessive, however, and it was tried again before Judge Hibbard. His decision yesterday scales down the former judgment to $417,683. With this jndgment he rendered an opinion yester- day. In the first part of his opinion Judge Hobbard quotes from the decisions of the Supreme Court reversing his former judg- ment. Then he says: The Supreme Court has directed this court to find: The value of the ores of the Hale & Norcross Mining Company delivered to the Nevada and Mexican mills from Januvary 1, 1887, to July 1, 1890; the amount of this value necessarily lost in working or which would not under fair milling be separated | irom the baser matter; the amount of money, if any, received by the ‘mills from the working or sale of the tailings or residue of said ores; the amount and value of the bullion that | should have been returned by the mill From these premises this court is directed to find what amount of damage, if any, s been sustained by the Hale & Norcross Mining Com- pany. From the conclusion that the Hale & Nor- cross Mining Company has sustained loss by reason of the imperfect and fraudulent mill- ing of its ores there is no possible escape. Taking the great mass of seemingly conflict- ingevidence in the case, and calculating from premises strained and enlarged to the utmost in the defendants’ iayor, the result is still that Nevada and Mexican mills. controlled by yward, Hobart and Levy, did not return to the Hale & Norcross Company the amount of bullion which in common honesty and fair business dealing ought to_have been returned. _Mauy witnesses called for defendants testi- fied that 70 or 75 per cent of the battery sample pssays would be a fair return, but this conclusion is arbitrarily given, withcut re- gard for car or railroad car sample assays, and independent of the actual value of the'ore be- fore it went through the mill. The court cannot rely upon this class of evi- dence founded entirely and absolutely upon battery assays, for it is beyond question that the battery sample assays of these ores taken in these mills are incorrect and false, and can- not be properly employed as a basis upon which to figure such percentages of returns. From January 1, 1887, to January 1, 1890, these assay returns of over 80,000 tons of oré showed in no single month a percentage over or equal o the car sample assays of the same; they were invariably much lower. Consider- ing that all assays are somewhat speculative and never absolutely cxact, the fact that inall this mass of ore there was scarcely & single battery assay that, aven by chance, went higher then the car assay, isstartlingin its evidence of deliberate, habitual design. The witness D. B. Lyman testified that the Nevada mill was well adapted for the proper duction of ores, yet its percentage of returns not compare favorably with those of other workiog Comstock ores, perticularly the swick mill, at which Hale & Norcross 'n worked since tnis action was menced, with results so much more favor- ny as to absolutely daisprove the theory and the evidence that car sampie assays must necessarily and always be 100 high. he Brunswick mill worked these ores, large returns and in some instances the y Assays were in excess of the car sam- ple assays, The following facts and figures are ad- mitted to be correctly shown by the record in ibe case: Numberof tons of ore from Hale & Noreross mine milled gt the Nevada and Mexi- can mills from Janudry 1, 1887, to July 1, 1890, 84,068.1700; value of same &s shown by car sampl say, $£3,224,286 53; average value of same per ton, ¢ar sample assay, 838 35. Value of same as shown by baitery sample s 225,256 alue of bullion re- wills to mining company, $1,678,- of which $718,345 was gold and 0,676 17 silver; percentage of goid in bul- 1, .4268; percentage of silver in bullion, 22; ‘average discount on silver during od wit. ndard at 1.2929, runuing from 01.06, .26112. or the purpose of simplifying calculations fractions of tous of ore and fractions of the value thereof will be ignored. The value of these ores delivered to these mills during the veriod mentioned is $2,551,742, of which $1,460,107 is silver and $1,091,635 gold. This value is ascertained by deducting $8 per ton from the car sample assay value. Example: Carssmple value, 3,224,286; 84, 068 tous at $8, $672,544; balance, $2,551,745. That this amouut of deduction irom car sample assay vaiue will give the true value of the ore delivered to the mills, as nearly as practicable and as nearly as possible, is proved by the testimony of witnesses on both sides. And it is also proven by the working of ores and the returns thereof at the Con. Va. & Cal., Overman and Hale & Norcross Mining com- Is mac panies. : This deduction of 38 per ton is & most liberal allowance. Plaintiff contends that a deduc- tion of $5 would be ample, and the evidence above referred to would perhaps warrant an average deduction of but #5, The amount of the value of the ore delivered to the mills, which was necessariiy lost in working or would not under fair milling be separated from the baser matter and therefore which is the amount to be deducted for loss, is $381,769. The loss s made up as follows: Slimes, $98,358; mofsture, $32,214 ; tailings, $251,197° total $381,769. The evidence shows that the loss by slimes and moisture 1s occasioned by the presence of clay in the ore, and that the amount of clay is about 10 per cent of tbe ore, and that the ulmoun! of moisture is about 10 per cent of the clay. Ten per cent of 84,068 tons of ore is 8406 tons, which is clay consisting of siimes and moisture. Of this 840 tons is moisture and 7566 tons are slimes. Total, 8406 tons oficlay. The witnesses, Peck and Kinkead, say these siimes assay §13 per ton; 7566 tons of slimes at $13 equals $98,358, whicn is the total loss occasioued by slimes. Giving the 840 tons of moisture the average value per ton of the ore by car sample, which is $38 35, then 840 tons of moisture at §38 35 equals $32,214 total loss occasioned by moisture. The tailings are thut portion of the ore whicn, efter passing through the amalgamating pans, rans out of the mill and is wasted. Tne value of these tailings per ton is shown }!)me settler sample assays (plaintif’s exhibit 7). The average of these settier sample assays, as imed by vlaintiff, is $3 08 per ton, and as ed by defendants $3 38 per toa, the ter is edopted for the celculation. As all the slimes and moisture are above ac- counted for, neither form a part of the tailings {for the purpose of the calcu 8, ‘The total amount of the slimes and moisture mast be deducted from the amount of ore in order to asceriain the amount of tailings: Example~ Slimes 7566 tons, moisture 840 tons; total, 8406 tons. Dednet 8406 tons of slime: and moisture from 84,068 tous of ore equals 75,662 tons of tailings, without deducting the weight of the bullion; 75,662 tons multiphied by, §8 32 equals §251,197, total loss occasioned by tail- ings, and meking the total loss occasioned by slimes, moisture and tailings, as aforesaid, the amount of $381.769. From the value of the ore delivered to the amount of bultion, with sflver at 1.2929, which ought to have been returned fo the Hale & Norcross Company. From this amount, $2,169,973, aeduct $1,678,921, the amount of bullion, with silver at’ 1.2929," which was re- turned, and the balance, £491,053, is the a Eanmdeflch; 5722 of this amount, or $280,- 80, is silver. Taking out of $280,980 the average discount on silver, or .26112 thereof, which is $73,369, and deducting this total dis- count for ailver.;’l:i 369 from $491,052 leaves & balance of $417,688, which is the net deficit and the amount in money which ought to have been returned over and above the $1,678,921 which was returned in bullion, and this is the amount, $417,683, which the court finds to be the amount of damages sustained by the Hale & Norcross Company by reason of the imper- fect and frandulent milling of these ores. Counsel for plaintiff calculate and claim this result to be $651,223, and give strong Teasons therefor, but the court, considering the elements of loss with a view to enter the lowest judgment possible from the record upon this issue, places the result at $417,683, or less by $233,540 than the amount claimed by plainiiff. Other calculations may be made, based upon the evidence in the case, showing resulis of $664,000, $668,894/and $680,547 respectively. Recapitulation—Slimes, 7566 tons ; moisture, s':o tons; tailings, 75,662 tons; total, 84,068 ns. Loss—Slimes, 7566 tons at $13, $98.358; moisture, 840 tons at $38 35, $32,214; tailings, 75,662 tons at $3 32, $251,197; total loss, $381,769. Car sample value of ore, $3,224,- 286; deduct $8 per ton of 84,068 tons, Lo show value at mill, $672,544; value of ore at mill, $2,551,742; deduct loss of milling, vaiue of builion, with silver at 1.2929, whic ought to have been returned, $2,169,973; de- duct amount of bullion which was returned, $1,678,921; balance gross deficit, with silver at 1.2929, which cught to haye been returned, $491,052; deduct discount on silver, $73,869; baiance, net defict cash value for the purpose of the judzgment, $417, Noihing is added to the judgment by reason of anything received by the mills from the working orsale of the tailingsor residues of the ore. It appears, however, that some $15,- 000 was received by the Nevada mill from the working of concentrates. Jobn W. Mackay, D. B. Lyman and other witnesses testified that in the old days of the Comstock the mining companies required a return from tae millsof 65 per cent oi the wagon sample assays in bullion; sometimes they received a littie more and sometimes & little less, but if less than 65 per centwas re- turned the mills were called upon to make and did make up the deficiency. In view of this evidence it meay be interesting to know that the amount of bullion which ought to have been returned to the Hale and Norcross 76! Company, as above found to be_$2,169,973, is about 67 per cent of the ore, $3,224,386, as valued by the car sample assay, and it is more than $12 50 per ton less than the average car sample assay per ton of $38 35. As 10 the defendants, Charles P. Eagan and the Nevada Mill and Mining Company, the action is dismissed, as they have not been brought in by proper service of process. Asto all the other defendant directors, ex- cept H. M. Levyy, the action is dismissed, be- cause it appears that they could be held liable only for negligence, concerning which no issue is presented by the pleadings. Let judgment be entered herein against the defendanis Alvinza Hayward and H. M. Levy ior the sum of $210,197 50, with interest thereon from the 11th day of June, 1892, at the rate of 7 per cent per annum, upon the issue presented by the claim of the fraudulent combination and agreement for mining and milling the ores of the Hale & Norcross Silver Mining Company; also for the sum of $417,- 683, with whatever interest thereon, if any, the court may find proper, upon the issue presented by the claim for damages, sustained by reason of the imperfect and fraudulent milling of the otes of the Hale & Norcross Sil- ver Mining Company, together with all the costs of the case, except that tney be allowed their costs of appeal as per remittitur herein of May 9, 1896. Let judgment be entered herein also against defendants, the executors of the estate of Hobart, deceased, for the sum of $210,- 0, with interest thereon from the 1l1th of June, 1892, at the rate of 7 par cent per annum, upon the issue presented by the claim of the fraudulent combination and ‘agreement for mining and _milling the ores of the Hale & Noreross Silver Mining Company ; also for the sum of $417,683 with whatever interest thereon, if any, the court may find proper upon the issue presented by the claim for dam- ages sustained by reason of the imperfect and frandulent milling of the oresof the Hale & Norcross Silver Mining Company, together with all the costs of the ¢age, except that they be allowed their costs of ahpeal gs per the Te- mittitur filed herein May 9,1896, All of said judgment as against said executors payable in due course of administration. Before signing the written decision herein the court will hear argument of counsel upon the guestion of adding interest to the amount— $417,683—which is the amount found due upon the issue presented by the claim for damages sustained by reason of the imperfect and rraudulent milling of the ores of the Hale & Norcross Silver Mining Company. Let the amount of the judgment be collected but once, and let J. J. Groom be appointed re- ceiver in this case 1o collect the same and pay it out to those who may be entitled thereto under the direction of the court, and let 25 per cent of the judgment so collected be paid 1o the attorneys for the plaintiif herein, Dated May 12, 1896. J. C. B. HEBBARD. Judge. The judgmeut for $210,197 50 is for ex- cessive charges made by the mill against the mine. This, with the judgment first rendered, makes the entire judgment so far amount to $627,880 50. The question of in- terest will come up again. PESCIA WILL BE CONSUL The Italian Colony Pleased at the Doctor’s Appoint- ment. th W Consul-General Grimaldi Alarmed for the Safety of His Pretty Turkish Wife, For the last few months Cav. Bruni Grimaldi, the Consul-General of Italy in this City, has been negotiating with his Government for a long leave of absence. mills—§2,551,7: leduct the total loss occa- sioned by slimes, mo)sture and tailings, $381,- 769, and the balance, $2,169,973, is the His request was granted and the Consul was also authorized to appoint the man who should represent him in his absence or replace him if he fails to return. To the great satisfaction of the Italian colony, the announcements were made yesterday that the Consul’s choice had fallen on Dr. Pescia and that the doctor bad consented to be acting Consul 1n the absence of Uav. Bruni Grimaldi. Dr. Pescia is one of the most influential men in the colony, and as he is also wellj known amon g Americans it is believed that he can fill the pusition of Italian Consul- General to the satisfaction of all parties concerned much better than a stranger to this City could possibly do. It is stated, however, that E. Scodeletti, who for the last fifteen years has filled the position of secretary to the Italian Con- sulate, is not satisfied at the changes, and that he has reciened. Cayv. Bruni Grimaldi will shortly leave this City for Armenia. He is married to a beautiful young Turkish lady, and ever since the Consul’s arrival here from Den- ver, over a vear ago, the and the two Grimaldi children have been visiting Mrs. Grimaldi’s relations in Turkey in Asia. The recent Armenian troubles have caused the Consul considerable anxiety, as he feared that in some of the uprisings his family might be massacred, It is largely to look after their safety and bring them back to America that he has demanded a leave of absense, though he has no inten- tion of returning here immediately. Cav. Bruni Grimaldi was in the Ital- ian consular service in this country fifteen ears ago. Later he served in Japan and urkey, and it'was in Constantinople that he met the handsome young Turkish lady who became his wife. “When he consented to her taking their two children from this country, whither he had been transferred, to visit relations in Armenia he had no idea that the conditions in that unhappy land were about to become so strained. Ever since the troubles began Cav. Grimaldi has watched the mails with deep anxiety for the letters saying that all was well with his wife and children, and he has earnestly petitioned the Italian Minis- ter for Foreign Affairs to grant him leave of absence. It is only within the lat few days that bis request has been formally granted, and he is now hurrying his prep- arations to depart as soon as possible. ————— An Old Character Dies «Buffalo Bill,” alins “Pete,” a Chinatown loafer, dropped dead in the Merchant stableson Webb street yesterday safternoor.

WEAVER TURNS O HIS ENEMIES Board of Health Appointees Charged With Serious Crimes. THE COOK DREW A KNIFE Secrets of the Almshouse Made Public by the Superin- tendent. INMATES WERE ASSAULTED. A Serious Scandal Is Now Brewing in the City and County Poorhouse. Superintendent Weaver of the Alms- house after bearing patiently the assaults on his character and ability that were made during his recent trial by the Board of Health, and which eventually resulted in his dismissal to make room for & man of the same political complexion as the majority in the board, has at last turned on his tormentors and returned a blow that has fairly staggered the men who have done Governor Budd’s bidding. During the entire investigation, so- called, which was held in secret and behind closed doors, Mr. Weaver made no effort to strike back beyond a quiet intimation that some of the acts used to support charges against him had been due to the friction between himself and political ap- pointees of the present board, who refused to keep up the discipline of the institution and put his authority at naught. He made no specific charges at the time, but bent bis energies to refute the accusations against himself, Now that the board has declared his place vacant and appointed a Democratic political hanger-on to succeed him, he has made public certain acts of some of the board’s employes that make the charges against himself pale into insigniticance. At a meeting of the board held on Mon- day Mr. Weaver sentin a communication that places three of the employes ap- pointed by the board, and supposed not only to be sober, industrious, competent men, placed there because of their fitness for the positions they occupy, in a very peculiar light. S 7 He openly charges Chief Cook Kearny, on of the most recent appointees, and who was lauded when his name was proposed, with assaulting an inmate, presumably decrepit and unable to resist, and pushing him down stairs, puiling bair out of his beard and threatening to carve him with a knife, which the cook drew during the melee. Others are charged with like offenses and with intemperance. The bulk of the communication is as follows: As superintendent of the City and County Almhouse I will acquaint you with the follow- ing facts: On_the morning of May 5, P. F. Kearny, chief cook of the Almshouse, as saulted an inmate named James Hudson. He called him vile names, pushed him down- stairs and pulled hair out of bis beard. Kearny then drew a knife and mude threats of greater bodily harm to Hudson. This attack was not made in seli-defense, but a premeditated as- sault in the presence of & number of witnesses, who can be produced. R. F. Julian, the farmer, attempted a violent attack on James Coniff on April 18 last, and the'latter was rescued from injury through the assistance of bystanders. Witnesses (o this assault I will produce at the request of your board. Dr. Charles J. Grant, who is the night watch- man in Hospital 3, I find is wholly unfit for his duties by reason of his feeble health, old age and intemperance. The sick and dying are neglected by him and the dead are un- watched and uncared for during the night. I have not exercised the power I understand 1legally possess as superintendent to remove these men, owing to the peculiar relations that have existed for some time between the members of the Board of Health and myself, but uvon reflection have decided to submit the facts to the Board and request an imme- diate investigation, on‘erlniz at the same time to present the proof for all the allegations I have made. The members of the board looked askance at each other as their friends were scorched by the superintendent, and when the reading was finished a motion was hastily made and carried that the matter be referred to the Hospital Committee. To be sure that the Hospital Committee should have the document at hand Dr. Hart, a member of the committee, placed it in his pocket. The only mention ot the matter iz the minutes is that a communi- cation bad been received from Superin- tendent Weaver and referred as stated. It is understood that Mr. Weaver is pre- ared to bring other charges against the Eond'u appointees if these should be ig- nored. SHATH ROSHSLAND s They Get Down to the Details of John More’s Admin- istration. The Way in Which He Handled the Funds Disclosed in Black and White. The hearing of the amended exceptions in the Santa Rosa Island case was con- tinued before Judge Coffey yesterday. The additional exceptions filed by the Leirs represented by Major Mhoon, as well as those presented by Messrs. Gunnison, Booth and Bartnett, show up John F. More’s aaministration of the island's affairs in detail. The heirs of Alexander P. More, who left his little principality in the hands of his brother, as administrator, are deter- mined to get the facts and something like $85,000 or $100,000. The heirs say he re- ceived $14,000 from the Western Meat Company and fdiled to render an account- ing thereof; next on the list is $300 re- ceived from the California Iron and Wrecking Company, for supplies furnished from the island, including shoes, tobacco, meat, ete., and following this sale of goods not belonging to him, are others of a sim- ilar character, wherein certain laborers, occasionally visiting the isiand, left $750 with Mr. More. He also, it is alleged, failed to account for $800 in rents, and did not turn over to the estate $10,000 due as rent from himself under the lease entered into with his de- ceased brother. Next on the list is an item of $1056 ior freight on his own wool, claimed to have been paid out of the funds of the estate. It is also recounted in the newly filed papers that John F. More failed to turn over to tne estate the 40,000 sheep en- trusted to him, and that the number was 15,000 short, and further that he shipped 6000 head of sheep trom the ulnnflp ata time when he knew the total number ou the island, including those shipped, did not exceed 32, The beirs think it is highly improbable | that Jobn F. will be able to account for the discrepancies enumerated and they are determined to rid the island and them. selves of his official domination as admin- istrator. HE SOLD THE STOCK. E. A. N. Hughes, s Curbstone Broker, Arrested on the Charge of Felony Embezzlement. Charles A. Paxton, stockbroker, 314 Pine street, swore to & complaint yesterday afternoon before Justice of the Peace Groe- zinger, who 1s presiding in No.1 Police Court during the absence of Judge Camp- bell, charging E. A. N., Hugbes, a curb- stone broker, with felonv embezzlement. Paxton alleged that last Thursday Hughes called at his office and asked to be accommodated for an hour with 500 shares of Potosi stock. As this is a usnal courtesy amonyg brokers Hughes’ request was granted. As he failed to keep his promise to return the stock Paxton made inquiry and found tuat it had been sold for $750. The warrant was placed in the hands of Detectives Seymour and Whittaker, and they arrested Hughes in the Pacific Stock Excbange on Leidesdorff street and took him to the City Prison, where he was de- tained on the charge. Hughes claima that he borrowed the stock from Paxton to accommodate Harris & Co., the stockbrokers on Pine and Leidesdorff streets, who failed last week, and that they must have disposed of it and appropriated the proceeds. SR e To Be Lighted by Electricity. Special Agent Powell of the Agricultural De- partment at Washington made a careful in- spection of the Appraisers’ building and the Postoffice yesterday, with & view of putting electric lights in all the main corridors and offices. Mr. Powell estimetes that 700 lights will be reguired to properly cover the two buildings. Itis thought that the department will not delay in suthorizing the needed im- provements.
