THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY; JUNE 8, 1896. DR, KURLMAN WON'T 60 T0 JAL He Defeats Coroner Haw- kins in the Imprison- ment Case MAKES GRAVE CHARGES Will Begin Suit Against the Coroner for $75,000 Damages for Indignities. ACCUSES SOUTHERN PACIFIC. Says It Has thé Coroner’s Office in Its Grip in Order to Defeat Claims of Widows and Orphans. The docket of the Superior Court for the City and County of San Francisco will record in a few days another big suit for heavy damages. Dr. Charles G. Kuhlman, having been victorious last Baturday in his protracted legal battle, with Coroner William J. Hawkins over a commitment to prison by the Coroner, now intends to sue the Coro- ner for $75,000 damages for indignities which he claims the Coroner has heaped upon him. The doctor charges the South- ern Pacific Railroad Company with having its tentacles entwined around the Coro- ner's office for the purpose of defeating what he calls the just claims of widows and orphans. The railroad company is additionally interested in this same story to the extent that it has been sued by the widow in this particular case for $10,000 damages for causing the death of Jens W. Sonderup. The story begins October 15 last. On that day Sonderup was knocked from his wagon by » Kearny-street electric car. A fter a lingering illness of six months Mr. Sonderup died, Dr. Kuhlman says, from the result of injuries received in the accident. In professional language the cause of death was progressive traumatic cerebro-spinal paralysis and ataxia. The date of Sonderup’s death was April 23 last. The Southern Pacific Company has al- ready settled with the widow Sonderup fi mages to the horses and wagon, pay- ing her $500. Sonderup wasa Dane. The Danes are said to have a peculiar horror of autopsies, post-mortewns and any mutilation of dead The remains of Sonderup were taken to the undertaking establishment of Gantner & Guntz, near the City, and Mrs. Sonderup requested the underiakers not to mutilate the body or permit anybody else to do so, Dr. Kuhlman says that the Southern Pacific Company, anticipating that it might have a suit for damages to meet, had spies bivouacked around the undertaking establishment, watching the corpse. As soon as the death certificate was filed in the Health Office it was stopped. I Kublman says that this shows the early watchfulness of the Southern Pacific in the case. There being no other reason, he says, why the death certificate should not issue, the doctor went to the Health Office and made a lezal demand for one. The reason given why the burial permit was not granted was that it was a case for Coroner. But, Dr. Kuhlman in- quired, there bemg no evidence at at the time before the Health Officer that Sonderup died in an accident, how could the case be one for the ~Coroner? The re- sult of the doctor’s visit to the Health Of- fice was that, divested of all the verbal compliments that were passed by each side, it was finally refused point blank to issne the death certificate. ‘Widow Sonderup then, by advice of her atlorney, notified the undertakers not to permit the Coroner to take the body except by due process of law. Subsequently the Coroner telephoned to the undertakers for the body and they refused to let him have it e!cept:bf‘ legal process. Shortly after that several of the Coroner’'s deputies ap- peared at the undertakine establishment and took the body away practically by force. Dr. Kuhiman says that previous to sending the deputies the Coromer threat- ened to make it warm for the undertakers. On the same day that the body was re- moved from the undertakers’ Dr. Kuhl- man and others were notified by telephone by Coroner Hawkins that an inquest would be held at the Morgue at6:30 o'clock in_ the evening. Taking several friends and physicians with him Dr. Kuhl- man went to the Morgue to protest against an autopsy on the ground that the death certificate bad been regularly made out a that there was no evidence of an acci- dent. They waited an hour, and there be- no indication that an inquest was 1o be beid they departed. Dr. Kuhiman says that Coroner Haw- kins is a sly man and practiced a trick upon him, for after they had gone an autopsy was held some time during the dead, still watches of the night on the body of Sonderup, and next morning, with the marks of the autopsy plainly visible, the body was delivered to the undertakers. Then Coroner Hawkins filed a death cer- tificate in the Health Office that Sonderup had died from consumption and thatan inquest was pending. Dr. Kuhlman says that un inquest was not pending, because ng jury had been sworn. A burial permit was then issued, and poor Sonderup was lowered into a grave in the Odd Fellows' Cemetery, April 25 last. Besides hix horses and wagon he had a little stock in a beer-bottling concern, but the widow could not reaiize on it. She had to sacri- fice their household effects to procure the necessaries of life for herself and family. She has been assisted by friendly and mpathetic Danes, who have given sev- eral balls and parties for her benefit. is now out of the City on the advice of her attorney, in order that she might escape tie meshes of any bull-dozing tactics that might be attempied. A few days after the funeral of her hus- band Mrs. Sonderup filed & suit against Coroner Hawkins for $25,000 damages for “willfully and maliciously” 'mutilating the body of her husband. After this suit was brought against him Coroner Hawkins impaneled a jury, called witnesses and proceeded to hold an in- quest. This was on May 23 last. Dr. uhiman wae summoned to appear, and did appear, as the public will remember, for the occasion was productive of sensa- tional results and a narrow escape of the doctor from confinement in jail for con- tempt. i The doctor asked Coroner Hawkins if he was holding the inquest as Coroner or as a rivate citizen. ‘T'lie-Coroner replied that ge was holding it officially. At the open- ing of thednguest Coroner Hawkins stated that he had been sued for $25,000 damages, and Dr. Kuhiman says that the Coroner also announced that he was holding the inquest to square himself as against the suit. Dr. Kuhlman was called to the stand. He refused to testify on the grounds of professional secrecy.in his relation to his patient and on the gronnd that the inquest was illegal. Coroner Hawkins demanded an answer to his questions or he would send Dr. Kuhlman to jail for contempt, as the Coroner sits as a magistrate. The doctor told the Coroner that he was the SAME OLD | TROUBIE JUST AS 1T THE LATEST wAY YO CATCH A FLY BALL usEDTOBE THE REVIVAL OF BASEBALL. Scenes at the Opening of the New Athletic Grounds Near the Presidio, at the Terminus of the Union-Street Line. ready to go to jail whenever the Coroner got ready. Not being accustomed to having his authority defied the Coroner made out a commitment for imprisonment and Dr. Kuhlman was placed in charg= of an offi- cer. Thecaptain of the California-street police station, Sergeant Houghtaling at the City Hall and Captain Healy at the City Hall all refused to take the prisoner on the commitment. The doctor was finally taken before Judge Conian in the Police Court, and he was released on his own recognizance to appear the following Mon- day for trial. Iyn the meantime the case was trans- ferred to Judge Campbell, who, after a continuance, finally sentenced Dr. Rubl- man to five days’ imprisonment in the County Jail. John B. Clark, Dr. Kuhlman’s atitorney, sued out a writ of habeas corpus before Superior Judge Belcher, and the hearing on the writ was set for last Saturday before Judge Belcher. The court decided that the inquest held in the case of Sonderup was 1llegal, and ordered Dr. Kuhiman’s discharge, The doctor is now camped on_the trail of the Coroner with a long knife in his belt sharpened to slice off a goodly por- tion of goroner Hawkins' fortune if he can get a jury to authorize it. Dr. Kuhl- man said yesterday afternoon: “*The Widow Sonderup is going to push ner suit for $25,000 damages against the Coroner as Judge Belcher's decision decides the illegality of the inquest. 5 ““I am going to sue the Coroner and his bondsmen in due course of time for $75,000 to offset the damages and the in- dignities of being advertised on bill boards, eic., as going to jail. “The Morgue has been run in a body- snatcher manner,’”’ continued the doctor. “it has been used and 'is being used by the Southern Pacific Company to defeat the just claims of widows, orphans and other persons who may begin suit for dam- ages against the Southern Pacific Com- pany. Autopsies are held. If any diseases of internal organs of persons are found a certificate of death is 1ssued that the per- son died from natural causes, in order to defeat claims for damages in case of acci- dent, etc. Sonderup never had a symptom of consumption, yet they say he died from it. “The law says,” continned the doctor, “that ‘whenever a person commits suicide, is murdered, slain or dies suddenly under suspicious’ circumstances, the Coroner shafi forthwith impanel a jury and pro- ceed with the jury to the place where the body is, and if buried, exhume the same, and with the jury view the body before commencing an inquest.’ The jury in the Sonderup case never viewed the body; it had been buried three weeks before the il- legal inquest was held. “] am satisfied,” continued Dr. Kuhl- man, “that every inquest that has been held by this administration in the Morgue has been illegal, and it is a matter tbat ought to be investigated by the Grand Jury. Ido not hesitate to say thatitis a nest of corruption where bodies are pur- posely mutilated. At the risk of my per- sonal liberty 1 have stopped this nefarious practice at the Moreue, and 1 hope tbe Grand Jury will take it up, Itis a dis- grace to the city,” said he. “The Coroner’s jury in the Sonderup case,” concluded Dr. Kuhiman, “brought in no verdict. The jury stated that I was the only man who knew what Sonderup died from, and I had not testitied. Haw- kins tried to bulldoze the jury to accept the evidence of other witnesses, but the jury wouldn’t bave it, and no verdict has ever been rendered in that case.” In regard to the statement thatthe octo- pus has its tentacles on the Coroner’s office, Coroner Hawkins said last evening: ‘“As to that charge 1 refer to my record since I have been in office in refutation of it. Not agreeing with Dr. Kublman ap- pears to be synonymous with being under the influence of the octopus. “As to the Sonderup case, the first I knew of the matter was when Dr. Kuhl- man telephoned to me and complainea of the officiousness of the Health Office mn re- fusing to give him a burial permit for Son- derup. He asked me to do away with the formality of an autopsy, and said he would amlwar and testifv as to the cause of death. Itbeing a railroad case, however, 1 preferred to let a jury assume the re- spons bility of passing on it. Ithen,in compliance with the request of the Health Office to investigate the case, ordered Dr. Barrett to hold an autopsy. His investi- gation showed that death was due to tuberculosis and in no way could he find signs of an injury. i “'he Coroners’ law in California and, in fact, throughout the United States,” said Coroner Hawkins, ‘is vague and unceriain. Judge Belcher made a ruling Saturday in regard to the case and we shall immedi- ately proceed with the Sonderup case ac- cording to the rules laid down by tbe Judge. “‘As to Dr. Kuhlman’s statement that he wants the Grand Jury to investigate my office, I heartily join in the request and hope if such an investigation takes place Dr. Kublman will appear and tell all he knows or thinks he knows about it. I suggest in this connection-that it would not be amiss for the Grand Jury to inves- tigate Dr. Kuhlman’s connection with the Sonderup case and ascertain why he en- deavored to rush a fraudulent death certi- ficate through the Health Office. ““The doctor assigned the cause of death | to be progressive tranmatic cerebro-spinal | ataxia and aralysis. Dr. Morse and Mr. Godchaux were present when the certificate was presented {and the word traumatic is what ar- | rested it. Traumatism implies an injury, and on this account they demanded an in- vestigation before they would issue the { burial permit. The jury in the case never completed 1ts sitting, because Kuhlman refused to testify. It was my duty to find out whether the motorman of the car was criminally negligent; and for that reason, and no other, was the inquest ordered. As to being sued by Dr. Kuhlman, I con- sider that preposterous, as I was only do- ing my official duty, and in regard to the outcome of the suit I am not at all ner- vous,” concluded the Coroner. THE HANDBALL COURTS. Champion Riordan and Nealon Again Defeat Amateur Champion Don- nelly and Bonnet. One of the keenest and most closely con- tested games seen on the coast was played n the San Francisco Handball Court yes- terday between John Rioraan, the coast champion, and J. C. Nealon and P. T. Donnelly, the amateur champion, and T. F. Bonnet. Riordan snd Nealon had de- feated Donnelly and Bonnet the previous Sunday, and the two latter determined, if possible, to get even. Bonnet and Donnelly won the first and third games; Riordan and Nealon the sec- ond and fourth. The final was a scorcher. Riordan and Nealon had the advantage of the start, and notwithstanding the bril- liant plav of their opponents they main- tained the lead to the end, the game clos- ing 21t0 12 Another exciting game was played be- tween J. Harlow, the ex-coast champion, and J. Kearney and P. Kelly. It was thought that Harlow would prove an easy victim to two such clever amateurs, but he defeated them by three games to one. At the Union court the event of the day wasa game between Thomas Barry, who has just arrived from the South, and J. J. Feeney and R. Lenihan and J. Nelson. Barry showed that he knew how to handle the ball, and he and his partner‘won, after a hard strugele, by three games to two. Following were the games played yester- day: gan Francisco colirt—P.

Revival of Professional Baseball in and About San Francisco. CITY LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP, The California Baseball League Wil Open Its Season on June 28th. The new Presidio Athletic Grounds were yesterday opeped to the public for the first time. In the morning there was a ball game between the Calls and Exam- iners, in which the former proved vic- torious. In the afternoon the Pacifics and the Californias played the initial game of the City League championship series. The managers of the City League, who are making an effort to revive public inter- estin the national game in San Francisco, state that it is with a feeling of confidence that they enter the field. They believe they will succeed in placing the game where it stood some years ago, before horse racing ousted it from the affections of the sport-loving public. To use their own words, “Why not? We have the play- ers; we have the same people who loved the game then, and we have without doubt the finest grounds in tve City, situated where the climate_is nearly always mild. Why, then, shouldn’t the game be enjoyed just the same as if it had never stopped ?”’ The play yesterday afternoon was of the good old-fashioned sort, in which hits and errors were almost eqnallf frequent, and in which no inning was allo to go b without one or more runs being scored. For all that, the audience seemed to like it. The grand stand was comfortably filled, many of those present beine ladies. There was a lar e number of the ancient order of ‘‘rooters” there, tco, and it sounded just like old times to hear, “Line it out, Blockers, old boy,” when prehistoric Hanley went to the bat. Hanley, by the way, furnished the spec- tacular play of ithe day. It wasin the sixth inning. Tie score stood 9o 3 in favor of the Pacifics. The Pacifics were in the field, and in some way McCarty, their pitcher, got rattled. He gave three men their bases on balls in rapid succession. Hanley was standing in the coacher’s box, wildly imploring Shea, who was at the bat, to “*knock it over the fence.”” In- stead, Shea batted a high foul. Up, up went the ball and several of the Pacifics rushed to get beneath it. “Blockers” was in their path, but he stood like a statue so as not to interfere with their movements. The ball descended and seemed sure to fall into the hands of the enemy. Hanley looked neither to the right nor left and the sphere drorped plump on the top of his head. “Blo¢kers’” eyes bulged out and his neck sunk deep into his shoulders, but quickly recognizing that he had saved his side, the veteran laughed loudly while the people in the stand applauded.” Then Shea came to the rescue and realized Han- ley’s ambition. The next ball that was pitched he ‘put over de fence for a homer.” The ‘Californias made five runsin that inning, making the score 9 to 8, but that was as_near as they came to winning, From that time on the Pacifics batted Mullee almost at will, and at the end of the game it was 17 to 11 in their favor. Both teams showed great batting ability, but were very shy on the team work. This no doubt resulted from lack of practice, and a much better article of ball will probably be put up at next Sunday’s game. The tollowing summary will tell in full the technical story of the game: sUMARY. CatroRNTAS AB. R IR &B PO A E Shea, 2d b. 6 2 k3 [ [} X 1 Mullee, p.

The managers of the California Baseball League are rapidly completing arrange- ments at the new grounds, corner of Fol- som and Sixteenth streets, and everything will be in readiness for the opening on the 28th inst. Yesterday afternoon a short game was played to determine the permament loca- tion of the dismond and other features of the field. The Oakland and San Francisco teams participated, the latter winning. The Oakland team, however, is an excep- tionally strong combination. Pete Sweeney looks_after the home team’s interest and pr?éniao- to also put agood club in the tield. The services of Jack Donahue have been secured to officiate as umpireand in all probability Joe Stapleton, who was for many years official scorer at the Haight- street grounds, will again assume that re- sponsibility. Manager Blake says: ‘I can see no rea- son'why this willnot be a profitable en- terprise. You can see that baseball still has a hold in this City by the attendance here to-day. We intend to give the people good clean baseball and will spare neithey time nor expense to secure the services of the best bali-players in the State.” CRICKET ONTWO GROUNDS Bohemians Beat the Pacifics. California-Alameda Match a Draw. Hearfield Puts Up a Creditable Score for the Californians—Some Good Play. Two inter-club cricket matches were played yesterday, both of which excited considerable interest. At Golden Gate the heretofore conquer- ing Pacifics were pitted against the formid- able Bohemians. The former going first to bat were somewhat easily disposed of for seventy runs. To this total John Theo- bald, their old-time leader, his brother George, their present chief, and H. C. Casidy were the principal contributors. Pocock was handicapped by indisposition | which prevented him from vlaying in his usual form, but this misfortune is the sole sop which the defeated team has for con- solation. The bowling of Robertson and . 1 Cookson—particularly that of the former— was more than usually deadly, as the scores show. S. B. Martin of the Bohemians beat the other side off his own bat_with a some- what lucky 76. Reynolds, W. Robertson and Doc Bowhill, too, put up good scores. Cassidy got 7 of the 10 wickets, doing his level best to keep down the runs, but be- fore the men of red and white were dis- missed they had compiled a big 188 runs. To play out time the Pacifics went in uinm and lost 7 wickets for 80, Captain Theobalda and Wise contributing 22 and 23 not out, respectively. This effort, how- ever, could not affect the result, which was in favor of the Bohemians by 188 runs. The score: PACIFICS—FIRST INNING. H. E. Pocock b. Robertson G. Theobuld L b. w. b. Robertson. G.

Hood and Randail made 52 and 71 respectively, and three other of their crackerjacks went into double figures, the whole side reaching 192 runs by 3.15. Then came a surprise. Hearfield, who opened the fight for the Californias with Gellatly, carried his bat for a carefully played 92. 8o well was he supported that despite the excellent trundling of Griffin and Ward Jr., only 9 wickets had fallen at the call of time and 150 runs were regis- tered.
