THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1896. ¥ HOW TO SERVE THREE MASTERS, Detective Wood Goes Tues- day’s Testimony One Better. DECEPTION JUSTIFIABLE Provided It Bs by a Detective Who Is Searching for Truth. CRITTENDEN SCORES WITNESS. Whereupon Judge Slack Cautions Him to Be More Careful in His Language. The Ashley-Baldwin trial yesterday was devoted to the cross-examination of De- tective Wood. Much of the time was taken up with repetitions of Tuesday’s testimony and reading from the tran- script. In regard to Wood’s employment contemporaneously by several parties hos- tile to one another the interesting fact was brought out that at one time he was representing Colonel Pope, E. J. Baldwin and Lillian Ashley and making each be- lieve he was doing the best he could for him or her. Deception and double-dealing seemed to constitute the detective’s art, to judge from Wood’s experience. He promised Miss Ashley to vprosecute her claim against Baldwin. Under this pretense Le requested ber to swear that she had never been intimate with Colonel Pope, in drder to establish the innocence of character necessary to be shown by a plaintiff inan action for seduction. His intentiol ever, was to secure Colonel Pope. he wanted in the affidavit a statement that Baldwin had ruined her. This w to be used by Colonel Pope as eviden against Miss” Ashley’s character in ca she should sue him for damages. The absolutely true to was the amorous b manufacturer. Attorney Orittenden continued his cross- examination of Detective Wood yesterda morning. He resumed his questions about Wood's employment by Baldwin and his compensation for the services he should render. Wood brought with him two assistanis, Daniel J. O’'Keefe, whom he pays $3 a day and expenses, and Emanuel Baines, who receives $1000 a vear. They are not doing active detective work for Baldwin, but are waiting to give testimony in the trial. In regard to the employment of Wood, the contract he had with Baldwin was produced. By the terms of this contract only cne of the three that he remained | cle Wood was to bring with him to California two witresses to testify in the suit. They were to prevare for the trial and secure evidence and to bring all letters and testi- mony they in possession of with them. It was specified that Wood and his men should not be kept away from Boston more than sixty days, and that they were to have a week’'s notice beiore being required to start. In the event of it being unneces: to come to San Fran- cisco the contract was to be null and without force. Baidwin had employed Wood while he was still ostensibly acting for Miss Ashley. He admitted that he acted with the inten- tion of misleading her in order to ascer- tain the truth, as he said. He had advised her that to secure large damages from Baldwin in an action for seduction she must declare that she was “'as pure a girl when she met Baldwin as when she was born.”” Accordingly, Wood represented to her that she must make affidavit that she had never had intimate relations with Jolonel Pope, in whose employ, by the Wood still was. This much was in the interest of Pope. Then he went as Miss Ashley’s representa- tive to Baldwin to effect a seitlement. He saw Baldwin at Saratoga, but did not men- tion this to Miss Ashley when he wrote ber to send him writteén authority to nego- tiate a settlement with Baldwin. He also inquired of her the lowest sum she would take, and promised her “to endeavor to get as much more than the amount named as possible.” All this witness admitted he had done to deceive and mislead the plaintiff. He didn’t remeraber whether he had sincerely intended to settle her claim against Bala- win; come to think of it he believed he had written the letter askiny for authori merely to put her off until he could make further investigations about her in his “search for truth.”” All the eyidence he got in the Baldwin matter he intended to make use of in case she attempted to make trouble for Pope. Before the noon adjournment Judge Black cautioned Attorney Crittenden that he must be more careful in the way he spoke about Witness Wood. Crittenden had asked him if he had notdeliberately written ialsehoods in order to entrap Miss Ashley, and was beginning to indirectly score the detective quite roundly. Th was the second reproof his Honor admin tered to the attorney for the plaintiff, hav- ing censurea him for his tardiness in com- ing into the court nearly half an hour late in the morning. The afternoon session was delayed again by Mr. Crittenden’s failure to ap- pear at the appointed time. The cross- examination of Wood was resumed. Wood admitted that when he went to see Bald- win he gave him to understand thut he had come from Miss Ashley with author- ity to settle her claim and told Baldwin the amount he received. Although he had no nope of makine a settlement with Baldwin, he represerted to Miss Ashley that he had good pros- peets of settling. : “Then,” said Mr. Crittenden, “you were guilty of a deliberate attempt to cause her to make an affidavit that would compro- mise and injure herself, without disclos- ing to her your (;mrpose._nnd by using language calculated to deceive her?' Witness answered that to part of the question be would answer yes and part of it no. “Did you believe you were acting squarely toward her?” pursued, Mr. Crit- tenden. The witness declared he did =o believe. “Tg it, then, customary in your business to pretend to represent a party and, while 8o pretending, to get from them damaging and compromising evidence against that party 2"’ 5 The Court, however, ruled that the wit- ness did not need to answer the question, *‘The uppermost thought in my mind,” deciared the witness, *“was to get an affi- davit from her of what I have always and donow believe, that Colonel Pope had not been intimate with her, And I wanted that affidavit in order to give Colonel Pope an assurance that Le would be no further troubled by Miss Ashley, who had harassed him, demanded money of him and threatened to expose him.” In his endeavors to get affidavits and other documents from Miss Ashley Wood wrote her that he believed her statements were true. Yesterday he declared he had had his doubts when he wrote it. “Then,” said Mr. Crittenden, “youn wrote another falsehood to her?” Judge Black again warned the attorney in regard to the mannerin which he spoke of the witness. “If I am compelled to speak of this matter again, id his Honor, “I shall speak in a very different manner.” | In his letier to Miss Ashley Wood had declared his belief that Baldwin would make a better settlement on the spur of the moment than if he waited to consult counsel. Yesterday Wood admit- ted that be had not sb believed. He had employad the strong wording in order to get her tosend him the desired affidavit. | He admitted that he bad studiously con- | cealed from Miss Ashley the fact that he | bad seen Mr. Baldwin. = However, he had received no money from Miss Ashley. If he had received money he wouald have re- garded such action on his part as double- kég?ling and he would not have acted as he i “Then this whole letter you wrote Miss Ashley,” asked Mr. Crittenden, ‘‘was a tissue of untruths, written for the purpose of deception, in order to get an unfair ad- vantage over Miss Ashley?”’ g Once more the court ruled that the wit- ness need not answer. Detective Wood had no definite arrange- ment as to what compensation he would receive from Miss Ashley in case she got $75,000 out of Baldwin. ~Wood declared he hardly thought of that—his main purpose was to look out for Colonel Pope’s witness. However, he had not refused the offe made by Miss Ashley to pay him liberally. | Mr. Crittenden cross-examined the wit-| ness further on the testimony he had given in his direct examination, but failed to shake it in any essential particulars. The witness is evidently theroughly con-| versant with all the matters he testified about, for where he haa to repeat accounts given previously, the testimony on both occasions was almost identical, even in the language and expressions used. Nearly everybody in the courtroom was getting tired. The clerk was fast asleep, with his head on the desk and his Honor had yawned wearily several times. Ac- cordingly the trial was adjourned until this morning at 11 o’clock, when some in- teresting testimony is promised by those who ought to know. T0 IV PEOPLES B Every Stcckholder Who Still Owes on Shares Will Be Sued. The Bank's New Attorney so Advises and the Directors Adopt the Suggestion. The Board of Directors of the People’: Home Savings Bank will sue every stock- | holder and director who has not paid in the full amount of his shares, and thesuits will be pushed with vigor. Such was the course decided upon at a meeting yesterday, when the attorney for the board haa presented suggestions in re- gard to the many delinquents. There are about 170 stockholders, and on many of the shares there is still due the bank $66 662¢ a share. General John F. Sheehan, manager of the affairs of the bank, asserts that recent | newspaper articles suggesting that the | present management bas been responsible for delays in the trial of test cases ema- nated from the opposition and were not cording to the facts. He mentioned, for example, the Booth and Barnett case, set st week, postponed to yesterday morn- ing at the request of the defendants, and again postponed yesterday until the 18th, | on the request of the defendants. The attorney, who succeeded Mr. Flour- noy in the prosecution of the five test cases, in his letter of suggesiions on which the board acted, says: I desire to call your attention to the fact | that there are at least three classes of cases | which involve questions of fact and law. The five cases now pending are actions wherein the defendants are sued ‘ipon their original subscriptions. Of course there will | be individual eases where stockholders will claim certain equities and defenses growing | out of representations and acts urged tobe | prejudicial to them committed by various: bosrds of directors. As to these mothing need be noticed further. | It is, however, the fact that in addition to the original subscribers who are now or here- after to be sued there are two other additional classes whose defenses are notinvolved here. First, those who have by assignment or pur- chase succeeded to_the ownership of certain | shares of stock, and as to whom the question | of liability for tne unpaid subscription is to be | determined; and secondly, those cases in which stockholders have, in anticipation of a calling in of the unpaid subscriptions, and in anticipation of the insolvency ©f the bank, made gnment to_irresponsible persons as against whom any judgment must remain un- satisfied. I_would suggest in any event that suits, be brought which will determine the rights of the board in both of these latter classes. 1 desire, however, speaking generally, to call your attention to the fact thatin my opinion any case, whetner test or otherwise, will not result in enforcing collection from others than the mere individuals sued. In the five cases now pending if judgment were rendered in all of them it could not, in my opinion, secure payments from the other delinquents. This must certainly be 50 in any event until the Supreme Court has passed upon all of the questions involved. This could not in all probability be done until the questions s to the statute or limitations would be brought into ihe cases by reason of the delay. I think that enits ought to be begun againsi all of thestockholders and an earnest effort made to collect these assets on hehalf of the creditors of the bank. It might then be ad- visable, after such suits were brought, to se- lect & number as test cases, and_thereupon to stipulate that the judgments rendered in such cases shouid be conclusive &s to all questions involved in the others. This, it would seem to me, ought 10 be the course to be pursued, but merely beginning and carrying on five cases in the expectation, without any agreement therefor, that other delinquent stockholders will pay np without suit is, in the light of experience in past events, not to be expected. As to all the other litigations of the bank you have been informed from_time to time by me. and no effort is being spared to obtain ad- judication in all matiers. Very truly yours, F. S. BTRATTON. HELD FOR MURDER. Result of the Examination of Peter Ducey, Who Killed His Aunt, TLe preliminary examination of Peter Ducey, charged with the murder of his aunt, Miss Kate McKeever, at her house, 917 Howard street, on May 27, was held before Judge Low yesterday. Ducey was formerly employed at the streetcar stables, Fourth and Townsend streets, and bad recently been working as a laborer on the San Joaquin Valley Rail- road. After an absence of three months | he came to the City on May 26, and on the | following day called upon his aunt. He had been drinking heavily, and that even- ing shot and killed her. After hearing the evidence, which was the same as given at the Coroner’s inquest, the Judge held Ducey 10 answer before the Superior Court without bonds, MRS. WOODWARD'S WRATH. She Has Sued Her Husband’s Attorney for $10,000 Damages. Mrs. Melinda Woodward has sued At- torney J. C. Bates for $10,000 damages for slander. Mrs. Woodward is suing her husband, Frank T. Woodward, for divorce, and the case has had a number of hearings in Judge Seawell's court. Bates is her hus- band’s attorney. On June 8, during the course of a controversy in court, the attor- ney made use of the words, “Sheisan opium fiend.” z The expression was made in reference to Mrs. Woodward, and she claims that its use in the hearing of her friends and ac- quaintances there preséhi has damaged her $10,000 worth. | mony. WESLEY T, LEWIS HELD TO ANSWER, Florence Ready Tells the Story of the As- sault, CORROBORATIVE FACTS. The Prosecution Welds Together Every Link of the Chain, NO DEFENSE IS OFFERED. The Girl Unfolds a Startling Story of Lewis’ Boast to Her of His Other Victims. The preliminary examination of Wesley T. Lewis, charged with criminal assault upon Florence Ready, was concluded be- fore Judge Conlan yesterday and the Judge held him to answer before the Su- perior Court in $20,000 bonds. The girl told her story in a straightfor- ward manner, and during its recital the defendant kept his eyes fixed upon the floor. She told of her becoming acquainted with Lewis at the Simpson Memorial | Church through both being members of the Epworth League. She detailed how Lewis called at the Lincoln Evening Scheol with the story of Mrs. Goodall’s illness and getting her ex- cused by Mrs. Deal, her teacher. Then she | detailed the incidents of the drive to the Ocean Beach and the assault upon her. Aiter the assault he tried to console her by telling her she was the seventh girl who had been so treated by him. Two were, like herself, pupiis in the Linceln Evening School, and two were members of the Simpson Memecrial Church, one oi whom he had assaulted in the beliry of the church. Attorney Wilson'for the defendant pro- tested against these statements of Lewis conversation, and after some argument the Judge sustained the objection. The witness went on to describe the drive back to Ingleside and Lewis’ second attempt to asszuit her. She jumped from the buggy and ran screaming toward an- other buzgy occupied by George Thomp- son of the Olympic stables and a lady. Thompson took her into his buggy ahd they drove on to seeif they could tind Lewis. He had fled and left the horseand buggy standing by the side of the road. Then Mr. Thompson drove her home. The only question the defendant’s attor- ney asked the witness was: “It was a pleasant moonlight night, wasn’t it?” and she replied in the affirmative. George Thompson testified to the girl running to him for assistance. He made a hurried search for Lewis, but failed to find any trace of him. He took the rig to the Ingleside stables and left it with in- structions to take an accurate description of any man who should call for it. It was about midnight when the girl ran to him for assistance. i Thomas T. Taylor gave important testi- He said he was formerly a mem- ber of Simpson Memorial Church and now lives at Fifteenth avenue and M street, A few minutes after midnight he was disturbed by the loud barking of his dog. He got out of bed and on going out- side found Lewis standing at the gate, Witness asked him into the house and in the light he observed that his face was flushed and he appeared to be very much excited. Lewis told witness that he had been sandbagged and robbed, and he asked if there was any way he could get back to the City. Witness offered to drive him iuto the City, and accordingly hitched up his horse and drove him to the corner of Golden Gate ayenue and Market street. As they parted Lewis told witness that he worked for Simpson & Co. on Steuart street, near Market, and asked him to go to the scene ot the alieged robbery, and if he found any letters or papers to take them to Simpson & Co.’s otlice. The fol- lowing day wiiness called at the office, but found that Lewis bad not been there within two years. Lewis was dressed in a Emwn sack suit and wore a soft Fedora at. After Dr. Daniel Kruger, 719 Larkin street, and Yoliceman J. 8. Adams gave testimony the prosecution closed the case. The defense waived the right to proddce testimony, and the Judge held the de- fendant to avswer before the Superior Court, raising his bonds from $10,000 to THE MONEY OF HAWAIL Minister of Finance Damon Says There Is Plenty for All Pur- poses, 8 S. M. Damon, Minister of Finance in Hawaii, arrived here on yesterday’s steamer. He accompanied Mrs. Damon, who is going on to Yaie to attend the graduation of her son. Minister Damon will return to the islands in a few days. He says the finances of the new republic are in excellent condition. “The loan that has been suggested and that has passed the preliminary stages, for $800,000,” he said, *“for public works of wvarious kinds, has had $350,000 subscribed to it already. Besides this, we have on hand from various issues, or from what is known as the loan fund, $115,000 more, so that now we practically have $465,000 for public works. “We shall therefore have all that is necegsery for fifteen months for building new roads to the coffee plantations, im- Erovmg the harbors, erecting new school- ouses and extending ihe water works. ‘The drain of $175,000 Jast year, hecause of the insurrection, took that much right out of our direct receipts, but we paid it ail without borrowing. Attorney-General W. O. Smith is in China studying the cholera and black plague. We recently appointed a medical inspector in Yokohama, and General Smith and Dr. Wood of the Boara of Health will appoint one in Hongkong and onein Amoy. This is done in order that passengers for Hawaii may have medical inspection. It is the intention of the Government to protect the islandsin every possible way from disease.” POOLROOMS KNOCKED OUT. Judge Wallace Sustains the Police Court Decision. Judge Wallace yesterday knocked out the commission pooiroom men. He firmed the decision of the Police Court in the case of James Bowlan, a clerk em- ployed by Goldtree & Co., who was con- victed of misdemeanor for violating the pooiroom order. The defense claimed that the money re- ceived was telegraphed to San Jose to be placed, but Judgze Wallace holds this to be no defense, and alihough he wrote no opinion the judgment of the lower court was affirmed.
