NCISCO CALL, WED SDAY, JUNE 17, 1896. A BUSINESS GIRL 15 MISS REDMOND. Her Uncle Horan Says She Inherited Property and an Income. HEIRESS WITH MONEY. Horan Met Carter and Accused Him of Stretching the Truth. WORDS AND GESTICULATIONS. The Girl’s R:latives Defend Her and Say She Was Innocent When Carter Met Her. Miss Mary E. Redmond, who began suit yesterday against the well-known cavpital- ist and carbuilder, Thomas Carter, for $50,000 damages for breach of promise of marriage, is still out of town. Mrs. Wells, ber landlady at 502 Mason street, has written her at Salinas, and Miss Redmond is expected to return in five or six days and rush into print with her story. “In maiden meditation fancy free” de- scribes the way Mr. Carter first met her, according to James D. Horan, an uncle of the girl, who is a wealthy stock-dealer at Tenth and Bryant streets. Mr. Horan met Mr. Carter on Bush street yesterday and there was a war of words and vigorous gesticulations on each side. Mr. Carter called Mr. Horan up by telephone yester- day morning and said he wanted to see him about the story in THE Carn. Mr. Horan replied: “Well, you are just the man I’'m look- ing tor, too, and the quicker I see you the better.’ When they met by appointment Mr. Carter denied that he had said he first met Miss Redmond at Byron Springs twelve or fifteen years ago, while her uncle Horan was chaperoning her at that watering re- s0! a reflection on him when Mr. Carter stated \at he met ‘the young lady at the springs ad took long walks and had long talks with her in the moonlight. He was notin the habit of looking after young ladies, even nieces, in that manner. He demanded aretraction of Mr. Carter and the latter, he says, promised to make one. Mr. Ho- that he told the defendant in the suit that he would make it warm for some- body if a retraction was not made. Mr. Horan is a man of vigorous lan- ge, and when he was talking to Mr. shoulder. According to her uncle Miss Redmond first met Mr. Carter in this City, and from his story it appears to have been a case of mutual attraction at once. ‘“Whoever loved that loved' not at first sight?’ and “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,” are quotations that fit their re- | lations from the inception to date. Mr. Horan said to a CALL reporter last evening: “Idid not know anything about their relations till I saw the story in THE CALL this morning. It was a surprise to me. When he says he first met her at Byron Springs with me twelve or fifteen years ago, he is a liar, and he knows it. I never went to the springs till four or five years ago, when I began to seek relief for rheu- matism. She was with me on that trip, and Carter was there. I have known him since 1878 or '79, when he was superin- tendent on the railroad, but I never knew there was anything but proper relations between him and my niece until to-day.” “Did you ever hear of the previous com- promise for $50002” “Never until one day about two months ago. My niece told me about it. She tola me she had got the money from him, but she denied that their relations were inti- mate.” “Did she say why he gave her the money ?”’ “No, she did not tell me why,” he re- plied. “1 went up to 502 Mason street to-day to see my niece,”’ he continued, ‘““but she has gone to Salinas. She has lived thereseveral vears, but I have been there only three or four times. Once when I went there be- fore sha had consulted me about loaning some money on a piece of real estate, and 1 advised her in regard to it.” “How is it, Mr. Horan, that a dress- maker has money to loan?’ “‘She has always had some money and by investment has increased her capital from time to time,” he replied. She was born after her father died and when a girl of twelve or fourteen years her grandfather died suddenly. She was a great favorite of his and we expected to find her provided for in the will. But owing to his sudden death she was left out. Myself and broth- ers gave her out of our share $1500 or $2000 and there is where she got her start. **Besides that she inberited consider- able from her father. It has never been necessary for her to pull anybody’s leg or blackmail anybody. She has money of her own, and if she wanted $50 or $100 at any time she could get it from me. When see borrowed monzy of me she always re- paid it promptly.” Uncle Horan said that he thought Miss Redmond was an innocent girl when Mr. Carter met her. From the stories of William Horan, one of her cousins, and others, Miss Redmond appears to be a young lady of independent fortune and a sufficient and steady income to support her in good style. Her father died from injuries received from the kick of a horse. Her mother married again, and she has a half-sister, Anna Barrett, who lives at San Ramon, Contra Costa County, who visits her in the City occasionally. Miss Barrett is younger and also a very handsome girl. She lives at San Ramon. Cousin Horan says that Miss Redmond owns a building at S8an Ramon, in which there is a saloon, and enough dweltlings and other real estate there to make up about half the town. She also has prop- erty in Alameda and several lots out near Golden Gate Park. i “'She is a thorough business girl,” said Cousin Horan. “Business from the word go. If you would talk with her you would seeit. She isratherclose, Whenshe lets go of $10 she wants to see $15or $20 com- ing back. She bas an eye out for business all the time.” Mrs. Wells, the landlady at 502 Mason Mr. Horan told him that he considered it | :r he forgot the fact that metaphor is | the flower of speech, and spoke from the | street, says she has written Miss Red- mond, and suggested that she return and reply to Mr. Carter's explanation. She expects her to arrive from Salinas before the end of the week. Being asked yester- day if Mr. Carter had called on Miss Red- mond in her house recertly, she said: “He has been here several times. I cannot give you the dates and Ido not want to attempt to. She has the dates. 1 remember that he has not been here since March 6, as a man died in the house at that time. Wait till she returns, then she will tell her story.”” Mr. Carter still adheres to his original statement that the suit is brought to blackmail him. He says Miss Redmond is encouraged by third parties to bring the suit and try to get money out of him. He states that he never resumed his re- lations with Miss Redmond since he com- promised with her about two years ago and paid her $5000 to release him from any claim she might make, for which he says he has her receipt in full. He states that he is going to fight the case and fight it to the end, whether the end be bitter or sweet. WHITE GOES TO JAIL. The Supreme Court Refases to Interfere in His Case. The Supreme Court yesterday discharged the writ of babeas corpus in the case of George E. White, the Mendocino County cattle man, and remanded White to jail for cortempt of court. White sued his wife for divorce and was ordered by Judge Hebbard to pay her $500 | for maintenance pending the trial. He pleaded poverty and advanced any num- ber of reasons why he shouid not obey the order of the court. Finally Judge Heb- bard, on June 12, ordered White to be committed tothe County Jail for contempt if he did not pay the money by the next morning. He failed to do so and was arrested on a bench warrant and sent to the County | Jail. He secured a writ of habeas corpus ; from Justice Beatty on Monday, but when the matter was heard yesterday the court decided that the commitment was legally made out and that it was entirely within the power of the Superior Court to com- mit White for refusal to obey an order while an action was pending; and accord- ingly remanded him to jail. THUTH OF THE TREASURE Large Amount of Money Really Buried in Calvary Ceme- tery. Charles Godella Was the Mysterious Mexican Who Started the Sensation. \ The rumor of the burial of a vast amount of money in Calyary Cemetery has at last | been tracea to its original source. The | story goes that one day while Contractor Broderick was overseeing his men widen- ing the sidewalk of Geary street opposite Central avenue, and pulling down the earth of the cemetery, an old Mexican drove by in a cart and told Broderick that | there was a vast amount of wealth hidden in the exact locality where the men were excavating. Rumor had it the next day (Sunday) that two well-dressed men were seen to leave that locality laden with a heavy sack, wh'ch they carried between them. Asis usnal in a case ot this kind the amount of money buried took on fabu- Jous proportions. It was quoted by some to exceed $150,000, while every one in Richmond was positive that there was buried certainly no less than §100,000. Charles Godella is an old man who has lived out near Calvary Cemetery for years. “About twenty-eight years ago,” said Godella vesterday, “T was sitting in the sun in the old Ayenue resort when it was owned by Mike O’'Brien. This was then the half-way house for coaches going out to the Cliff. 1saw a man standing up on the high ground of the cemetery near the chapel, which then stood near to Geary street. The stranger came down and spoke to me. He had a sandy mustache and looked like a workingman. He asked me if there was any objection to a man digging in the cemetery. “1 told him I thought there was and that he might be arrested for trying to steal bodies. He then asked me if there was any opjection to digging in the nignt. Itold him that I thought this would be still worse, because the superintendent slept very near the chapel. “After this he said: ‘My friend, an old partner of mine, is now in the Broad- way jail. Two years ago he robbed a bank in San Francisco of $20,000. He kept $2000 and buried the rest first in Laurel Hill Cemetery, and then fearing that this spot was discovered took up the money and reburied it in Calvary Ceme- tery, seventy-five feet north from the chapel, near to the headstone that had the name of “‘0'Connor” on it.” T never saw the man again,” said Mr. Godella, “*but I myself thought soon after that I would try my luck there. I dug around a gravestone that was partially buried in the sand. Asnear as I could make out ‘O'Connor’ was inscribed on the stone. I felt around in the sand with along crowbar and about six feet down felt a solid mass of some length. This, I am positive, holvever, was only an old wall that had been sanded over by the wind. “I gave up the search then, and the story had been almost forgotten by me until a few weeks ago I saw the men dig- ging 1n the same spot. I told them if they found any treasure there to be sure and give some to me, as I was the only man that knew about it. I am pretty sure that no man has found anything there, but at the same time 1 believe that what the man told me twenty-eight years ago was the trath.” Contractor Broderick said something yesterday that in part corroborates the story of the peanut vender. A day or two ago I found about six feet down from the surface,” said he, “a small square box made of stores. This was about a foot square, but the top stones had been evidently removed and placed back loosely. So if this was where the treasure was first buried some one evidently dug it up long ago.” Godella said that the money was buried in aniron box surrounded by stones. The question remains now—has the treasure really been unearthed and has Godella been the lucky man? He denies this ve- hemently. He ownsconsiderable valuable property in Richmond. ————— ‘Wants His Diamond Ring. Ernest Narjot swore to a complaint yester- day charging Herman Myer. clerk in a grocery at 441 Minna street, with obtaining goods by false pretenses. Narjot says that Myer is a friend of his, and a few days ago he called upon him and told him he was going to be married to a wealthy young lady. He wanted to present her with' a diamond ring, and if Narjot would give Lim his ring he would pay him for iton receiving $1300 in a few days irom Germany. Narjot gnve him the diamond ring and found that he had pawned it and that his story about his marriage was not true. BARNES BECOMES RED IN THE FACE, Detective Wood's Assistant Admits That He Was a Prevaricator. S0 MISS ASHLEY SCORES. Racy Revelations Regarding the Letter to That Handsome Fresno Man. LEACH SOLD IT TO BALDWIN. Some Light Thrown on the Relations of the P.aintiff With Wesley T. Baich. The Ashley-Baldwin case opaned yester- day, with E. Barnes, private secretary to J. R. Wood, the Boston detective, still on the stand. As was the case on Monday evening, most of bhis testimony was of an unprintable character. When he finally got down to matters that can be men- tioned in polite society he was asked by the plaintiff’s attorney concerning certain letters which he had written over his own signature, but at the dictation of Lis em- ployer, to Miss Ashley. These letters, it is claimed by Mr. Crit- tenden, were indited with a view to mis- leading their recipient and of betraying her in the interest of Colonel Pope, who was at that time Mr. Wood’s client. One of the letters was introduced in evidence by Mr. Crittenden yesterday. The follow- ing is a copy of it: BosToN, Aug. 15, 1893. Ash'ey, Hotel Westminster, Los An- geies, Cal.: Mr. Wood is engaged on an import- ant murder case in Vermonf. Your deed was received after Mr. Wood had sent you instruc- tions about your affidavit, and I thought that we had better let that remain until he had re- ceived your afidavit and had consulted or confronted Baldwin, which he has arranged to do on receipt of the papers from you. I would forward them to him immediately and he would go directly to Baldwin, and he felt very confident when he left here that when armed Miss L. with the necessary affidavit from you he would | get & handsome settlement for you, which I have no doubt he would. Now it seems to me to be very important that you comply with his request in getting the papers for him toact with. I have writ- ten him about it, also the deed and your dis- patch that arrived here to-day, which I an- swered as follows: “Dispatch received. Wood away. Await sworn afidavit; on receipt will act at once and make satisfactory settle- ment.” I would suggest that yow see the parties with whom you are negotiating for the house and tell them you will have to leave the mat- ter over about ten davs. That will give Mr. Wood a chance to get through with his case in Vermont, and a chance to see Baldwin. And then, again, I think it would be better for you to get a settle- ment with Baldwin before you made any move there, for if he is &ssmart s man as Mr. Wood thinks he is, he would undoubtedly find out about the real estate transaction there with you, and then he would begin to make in- | quiries as to where the money came from, and he would not think you are in the destitute circumstances that Mr. Wood intends to pic- ture out to him that you are. From what I know of the matter I should most assuredly advise you mnot to close that deal until Mr. Wood has had an interview with Baldwin, because if things work as he has got them laid out, undoubtedly he will get & very bandsome thing for you, and he is really in earnest about it. Believing that you have been grossly wronged, and that this wealthy man can do no more than partially settle with you for the great wrong he has done you. Mr. Wood thoroughly Dbelieves your state- ment, and has often said that he would be glad to see the man have to divide with you. Now let meagein assure you that it all de- pends npon your sending on the papers that he asked for, and then, I have no doubt, he will accomplish the desired result at once. Very truly, E. BARNES. Barnes also sent two telegrams to Miss Ashley at about the time this letter was | written bearing on the same subject. They are also reproduced here: BostoN, Aug. 10. Lillian A. Ashley, Hotel Westminster, Los Ange- les: Dispatch received. Wood away. Await sworn affidavit. On receipt will act at once and make satisfactory settlement. E. BARNES. BostoxN, Aug. 17. L. A. Ashley, Westminster Hotel, Los Angeles: Wood says purchase must waitor it will kill Baldwin matier. Send papers at once if you want settlement. Or shall we drop it for good? E. BARNES. Barnes, under the questioning of the plaintiff’s attorney, acknowledged him- self a prevaricator, although without much squirming on his part. “When you wrote this letter to Miss Ashley you intended that it should mis- lead her, and thereby get an affidavit from her that Baldwin is the father of her child, and then use the affidavit against ber in the Pope case, did you not?” inquired Mr. Crittenden. The witness grew 1ed in the face and en- tered a feeble denial, but was subsequently forced to acknowledge that his intentions had been correctly stated. ‘“Are you in the habit of writing false- hoods that you know to be such at the dictation of Colonel Wood ?"’ was asked. “I do what my employer tells me to,” re- turned the witness. “Did you not know wher you wrote.that letter to Miss Ashley that Colonel Wood was not in Vermont, but in fact had dictated the letter to you?” “Yes, sir,”’ return ed Barnes. In the midst of Barnes’ difficulty Lewis Leach of Fresno appeared, much to the relief of the man from Boston. Mr. Leach was in a hurry, so he was allowed o testify atonce. He told of how he had received a letter from Lillian A. Ashiey asking him for a photograph “in case he was a hand- some youth and had the ducats.” Mr. Leach is a banker, and presumably meets the latter requirement, but he will never be convicted of the former charge. His hair is tinged with gray,and he is past the prime of life. The letter was introduced and identified by the witness. Under the questioning of Mr. Crittenden it developed that Mr. Leach had sold the letter to Baldwin’s attorney for $125, and had come to San Francisco to testify under promise of payment of his expenses and compensation for loss of time. Barnes was then called for cross-exam- ination. He again went over the whole unsavory mess, and was finally excused, much to the relief of himself and every- body else. Daniel J. 0’Kefe,another gentleman from | | several years ago he was a clerk in the em- ploy of Wesley T. Balch, a livestock com- mission agent engaged in business in the Athens of America. He knew Lillian A. Ashley through having been the messen- ger of his employer while that gentleman Wwas paying attentions more or less serious t0 the plaintiff. He told of how he car- ried flowers, candy and money to her from Mr. Balch, and how be also accompanied her toa Dr. Whitmore, to whom she was sent for medical treatment by Mr. Balch. While 0’Kefe was in the midst of the doctor story the court adjourned titl 11 o’clock this morning. RAID ON MILK DEALERS. Dockery on the Warpath After the Scalps of Unlicensed Vendors. The unlicensed milk dealers of this City are trembling in their boots. Word is being circulated that their doom is sealed. On Sunday night Milk Inspector Dock- ery, accompanied by Meat Inspector Davis, inaugurated a new crusade. They examined forty-five milk wagons, and on Monday morning condemned the lacteal fluid issued by the Sunnyside dairy. Then they began to investizate dealers who have no license to vend milk, with the result.that warrants will this morning be applied for against the following: Patrick Slavin, grocer, 1641 Hyde street; D. Gianminy, froitdeser, 2001 Hyde; Frank Chi- gola, grocer, 1727 Leayenworth; William Cas- tell, fruit-dealer, 1521 Hyde; J. Kenny, 1406 Pacitic; Peter Coloburos, grocer_and dealer in soda-water of fine flavors, 1715 Powell; L. Pei- rano, grocer, 837 Pacific; J. F. Bullwinkel, grocer, corner Pacitc and Powell; James Reilly, grocer, 1710 Leavenworth; N. Hencken, grocer, Hyde and Green. After the unlicensed vendors are settled with, Inspector Dockery will proceed to look up saloon-keepers who violate the law, and resume his operations upon the unhealthy-cow questions. ——————————— NEW. TRIAL FOR TURNER. The Supreme Court Found a Flaw in the First Count. J. F. Turner, who was convicted of forgery on two counts by Judge Wallace, appealed his case to the Supreme Court, averring that one of the counts was de- fective, inasmuch as no intent to defraud was averred. As Turner was tried on the two counts together, evidence heard on both, and the jury instructed on both, the Supreme Court decided that the judgment was de- fective, and the case was, therefore, re- manded for a new trial. ROSES ON THE ALTAR, Nuptials of Miss Alice Russ and Mr. George Hab- enicht. Two Hundred Guests Attend the Re- ¢ ption at the Savoy—Elegant Bridal Presents. St. Paul’s Lutheran Church was the scene of a fashionable wedding last even- ing, the contracting parties being Miss Alice May Russ, daughter of Henry B, Russ, and George N. Habenicht. Rector Buehler united the happy young couple according to the rites of the Lutheran church. ¢ Long before the hour announced for the ceremony—8:30 p. M.—every seat in the prettily decorated church was occupied, and when the bridal march announced the arrival of the bridal party standing room was at a premium. The decorations of the church were pretty and artistic and were in tones of vellow and white. Yellow and white roses bloomed on the altar and the chan- cel was aglow with them. Promptly at the hour announced the bridal party entered the church. First came the ushers, Messrs. Frank von Rhein, C. F. Thierbach Jr.,, A. C. Dodge and Tnomas H. Nichols. Following the ushers came the brides- maids: Miss Emye Habenicht, Miss Res- sie Roden, Miss Eva Herold, and Miss Evelyn Bendel. Preceding the maids of honor Miss Lulu Habenicht, who in turn preceded the bride, who entered leaning on the arm of her father, sedately marched the little sister of the groom Miss Anita Habenicht, carrying a white satin prie- dieu, embroidered in gold. The groom, attended by his best man, A. C. Lang, met his bride at the altar. The bride, a petite and piquante bru- nette, was attired in an elegant gown of white brocaded satin. The jups was made verfectly plain, full and flaring, in the prevailing picturesque style. The cor- sage was cut high in the neck, and finished off with a deep collar of pear! pas semen- terie. Miss Lulu Habenicht, the maid of honor, wore a modish gown fashioned of white organdie over a white silk foundation. The corsage was cut decollete, ana the sleeves full and reaching just to the elbow. ‘The bridesmaids were attired alike in white organdies over yellow silk. The corsages were cut decollete and finished off with a pert bow of yellow satin ribbon fas- tened to the shoulders. They carried large Trilby bouquets that fell in showers almost to the hem of the gown. Little Miss Habenicht, the dainty pil- low-bearer, wore a pretty gown of yellow brocaded satin. After the ceremony the bridal party and guests, in all about 200, repaired to the Hotel Savoy, where a reception was held., There was music and dancing and an elab- orate suoper. Mr. and Mrs. Habenicht received many handsome wedding presents. The gifts included many pieces of silver, cut glass and much expensive bric-a-brac. The young couple have arranged to leave this morning for a bridal trip, but they have kept their destination a pro- found secret. On their return they are to Teside in this City. A SCHOOL FLOAT.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS ASSURED. The People’s Competing Raiiway Will Now B: Rushed to a Speedy Completion. It is but a matter of very short time now before the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway will be literally what its name represents—a railway uniting the metropolis of the Pacific Coast with the great interior valley of the San Joaquin. No time is to be wasted in the accomplish- ment of this project, for the men in whose care the important enterprise has been placed have determined to finish the Val- ley road on the lines originally accepted. The people’s railroad will have its termi- nusin San Francisco and extend through some of the most prcductive regions of the State, with feeders tapping the country at various places all along the line. There was a meeting at the railroad’s office in this City of the stockholders yes- terday, and then all this wasdecided upon. At tne meeting the directors of the Val- ley road were authorized to make an issue of bonds for $6,000,000 with which to com- plete the railway. % Every share of stock was represented, as the trustees and directors were present. A. B. Spreckels, Daniel Meyer, James D. Phelan, Lovell White, 0. D. Baldwin, James Cross, Thomas Brown, ¥. W. Van Sicklen and Christian de Guigne, trus- tees, each and every one took partin the deliberations.in conjunction with Claus Spreckels (by proxy), Robert Watt, Cap- tan A. H. Payson, W. F. Whittier, Charles Holbrook, J. D. Spreckels (by proxy), J. B. Stetson, Leon Sloss, Thomas Magee, Isaac Upbham and Alvinza Hay- ward of the board of directors, who were there as stockholders representing fifty shares of stock. After the’meeting adjourned Captain Payson stated that the issue of bonds for $6,000,000 was authorized for the special purpose of completing the railway.- “How much is to be completed ?”’ ““All that the company now has or may acquire,” was the diplomatic reply. “The matter of placing-of bonds has all been leit for the future. No time has been set for issning them.” Chief Engineer Storey explained what the completion of the Valley road meant— that is, as the line is now projected, with small branches. “With the $6,000,000 we expect to com- plete the line,”’ he said, “‘all the way from Bakersfield to San Francisco. That is, we can build from Stockton to this City, and also continue the ‘road from Fresro to Bakerslield, and fully equip the road.” “How do'vou propose or expect to come into San Francisco?" “That is a matter that has not yet been decided, so I cannot tell you.’’ ‘‘Will there be a branch through the Santa Ciara Valley?” The chief engineer replied that no route had been selected, adding that the road would be continued from Stockton to San Francisco. “The route has been exam- inea, but as no action has been taken re- garding the cnoice, how can anything be stated definitely about it?'’ he asked. The stock of the Valley road subseribed by public-spirited men is $2,400,000. Of this amount fully 70 per centum is paid up, and with the 70 per centum there 1s ample money to build to Fresno and equip the road with locomotives and other roliing stock, etc., besides providing for surveys to Bakersfield. “A mile and a half of track was built yesterday,” continued Mr. Storey. “Still we are going along slowly on account of rights-of-way suits down the valley. The last suit in Merced County was wound up yesterday, and that practically givesusa right of way through Merced County, in iact to Fresno, with the exception of one mile in Madera County, which comes up for trial next week. The track is laid five miles below Merced, and the grading com- pleted to the San Joaquin River, about twelve miles from Fresno, excepting across a few rights-of-wav gaps on the route.” NEW TO-DAY.
