i HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, AUGU 4, 1896. WITH CLIENTS ON BOTH SIDES Garret McEnerney Scores the Counsel for Fair. HAVE BEEN COQUETTING Should Be Forced to Take a Stand on One Side or the Other. PUBLIC MORALS A AT STAKE. Interesting Session of the Army of Lewyers in the Famcus Will Case. All day yesterday in Judge Slack’s court there was a breathless hovering on the brink of great truths in the matter of James G. Fair’s last will. A'il the big lawyers engaged in that most remarkable controversy were gathered to- | gether, fencing, fencing. Only one or two in all the army hold the same sword and swear the same allegiance under which only a brief year or s0 ago they started. BSuch substitution of banners, such changes of front have been made that it isnot strange that a man hesitated to make a thrust at a one-time enemy in the fear of slaying a friend; that be shall have held his hand when con- ironted by an old tentmate, and so run changes of being slain by his enemy. Did not Horatius, after inviting a fair woman’s | ! the deposition which he desired to know about. Delmas said the deposition was closed, but if it was legitimate cross-questions he made no objections; things that had hap- pened since, however, were not admis- sible. McEnerney put this question: “Did you not on the completion of your deposition | on Thursday, July 9, disappear?” i Delmmas immediately objected. Thiswas | not cross-examination. The court sus- tained the objection, remarking that such questicns would be properinjthe contempt proceedings. “Your Honar may fine the witness for contempt, but this question is directed | here toward fixing the value of the depo- sition itself. If itcan besnown that he | wished to kvade the issue, feared to sign | the deposition, it will serve to discredit it.” | Mr. Delmas said he would advise the | witness not to answer the question, asit | Wwas not cross-examination, and the court | sustained him in so doing. McEferney | then asked the same question several times | in different forms, all of which were treated | in the same manner. Delmas now recited the circumstances concerning the change of the attitude of Charley Fair toward the pencil will. He had offered it for probate once, declaring | it to be his father’s last will. Then he entered an opposition to it. Up to this time, however, the sisters or their at- torneys had not been served, and so far as the record is concerned they are still with the pencil will. Heggerty said he was sure the attorneys | had been served. The record, however, would be cleared, he said. R. B. Mitchell read a petition giving notice that they would ask for an order giving permission to ‘‘inspect a ceriain marriage contract alleged to be in posses- | sion of Mrs. Nettie R. Craven; also a let- | ter of the date of December 16, 1804, pur- 1 orting to come from Senator Fair to Mrs. | raven, toge'her with all the papers she | may possess.”’ Mr, Delmas objected. He said these pa- ers had nothing to do with the case at ar, which was a suit to quiet titie to real estate. The obvious purpose of the mo- tion was to secure information belonging to their adversaries; to discover the strength and weakness of their case. Their was no provision in the code for such a proceeding. It must be shown that the papers songht were necessary to | their own case. This had not and could not be done.” | ~ McEnerney, in reply, said that the issue { in this case was, of course, whbether or not these papers were forgeries. He held that | they were. It was not necessary to Xnow | whether or not Senator Fair and Mrs. | Craven were really married. He began to recite the series of incidents connected with the making of the will, when Delmas | | | | | plaudits on his bravery, conspire delib- |jnterrupted him with the remark that he erately to hand the bridge over to the | was guoting fromaffid avits that were not invader? | filed at the time the petition on which his George Knight and Garret McEnerney m’(l“‘l::nn‘?g‘si::se\gn:“wdi:ll:fl;wn it TersALapREes POl yesterd a9, Knight | oowing with the promise that it would be eing the aggressor, when suddenly he | renqwed to-day. “With this the morning brought confusion to his adversary who | proceedings ended. was about to triumph at the moment the | ° The argument in the matter of Fair vs. latter was about to deliver an effective fingxfi Eu fixedbgor thg af;‘emioatu, dand ke, by ing: “Hold! make no mis- | Mr. McEnerney began by ‘the introduc- strf:he, ki _cf’“ g HGE 1 | tion of the affidavits of Mrs. Haskins and take. 1 may be your ally a little later.

Gar- McEnerney, representing Mr. Good- , one of the trustees unaer that early ,led the charge and bore the brunt of battle. He stood, he said, where he i first taken his stand in this litigation, snd bad watched the changing position of one rhaianx and another. He movrd that the cause be indefinitely postponed. He Angus asked leave to argue the question and to | resent the depositions of Stephen oberts, Mrs. Haskins and Miss Margaret Craven as affidavits in support of the motior Charles 8. Wheeler objected. He said the depositions bad been taken 1n a dil- ferent cause and were irrelevant here. McEnerney insisted. He said that there was much in the depositions that was relevant. ney would show that the pur- pose of much of the litigation was to destroy the capacity of Senator Fair's children to 1testify in the contest of the pencil will; that Charles 8, Wheeler had said so; also be wished to show that Mr. Wheeler had made a certain contract, whereby Mrs. Craven's claims against the Fair estate were to be submitted to Richard V. Dey for decision as to their worth, and thatthe sum of §500,000 had been agreed upon to be paid to her upon the express condition that a certain docament written on both sides of a single sheet of paper, and which orted to be the last will of Senator <hould be admitted to probate. Judge Slack allowed the depositions. Mr. McEnerney then asked if they might be considered as read that he might pro- ceed with his arzument. There was considerable opposition to this. McEnerney said he only needed to refer to fragments of the deposition, but the objection being insisted upon he said the whole thing had better be read so as not to miss anytning. Judge Van R. Puterson, who represents Herman Oelrichs Jr, end other minor heirs, took the oocasion of the lull in the roceedings incident to the depositions Eeing brought into court to inquire about the demurrers to his amended opposition to the second will. He understood it was to be withdrawn by Mr. Lloyd, so as to facilitate the proceedings. Mr. Lioyd said he had expressed a willingness to withdraw 1t only on certain conditions. “As T am the authority for the state- ment that you did say you would withdraw it I would like to know what the conditions are?” said Mr. McEnerney. “Mr, Wheeler was away and I said that if he would agree I would withdraw it. When I have associate counsel I never act without consulting him,”’ However, it was agreed that the de- murrer should be withdrawn to simplify matiers. “We are willing to try the second will first,”" said Judge Paterson. “Seeing that his Honor has siready so ordered, it does not much matter who con- sents or opposes,’’ said Delmas quietly. I have so ordered,” said Judge Slack. Notary Cooney was now called to the stand for the purpose of signing his depo- siiion and explninini his dereliction in failing to appear at the day fixed by the court for that purpose. Mr. Cooney was resent and came promptly forward. n answer -to the court’s question- ing he said he had not thought it necessary to come into court at the time stated, and that he had been called away. He admitted that the court had told him plainly and that he had understood, but that he did not attach sufficient impor- tance to the matter. “Very well,” said Judge Slack. “You will appear rere Wednesday morning to show cause why you should not be pun- ished for contempt.’” McEnerney said he wished to ask the witness some further questions; certain ¢ bings had happened since the taking of | case involves the most important question | that has perhaps ever come before our | coarts. The parties td it should be mads to take a stand one way or the other. It | is a matter affecting our public morals.” 7’ | He referred caustically to the compromise contract, and said: “The first thing to be | | determined is as to which _of these docu- | | ments is the last will of Senator Fair. If | it is the pencil will then that ends it so | far as we are concerned, and no one will | leaye it with less regret than my client | { 2nd myself.” | Knight declared that so far as Knight & | Heggerty were concerned it was pretty | | well understood asto how they had always looked upon pencil wills and kindared | documents. As the case went on it would | be shown they bad not turned a very | | heavy somersault. He said they might | | yet join McEnerney in his position against | that document, and he did not want him | to make the mistake of vouching for a | witness that he (Knight) would never | | vouch for. | . Reuben H. Lloyd rose up very angry at | McEnerney. “I stand here nnd{sy lghil it { is not true that a compromise was offered | discreditable in any way. Iam tired of | hearing these insinuations from the other | side. I was practicing law before he was | born, and I know as much about profes- i | sional Lonor as he does and of what is re- | | auired between counsel and client.” | _ Wheeler also felt callec upon to answer | | McEnerney's onslauzht. He was more | discursive than Lioyd, however. Tough- | ing ‘“‘the broad question of public morals” he wanted to know where McEnerney was when a $300,000 proposition was made to | Mrs. Craven. McEnefney said that was easily dispored of. When the representatives of Charles Fair set up that Mrs. Craven had claims against the estate that she would re- linquish, his client, Mr. Goodfellow, had consented to represent the matter to the court with recommendation 1n her fayor. That was all. Delmas said the only question before the court now was, ‘‘1s this pencil will a valid will?"' He was ready to put it to the 1ssue. Judge Paterson joined McEnerney in asking for a postponement of the suit to quiet title. The matter was held over until 11 A. 1, Wednesday. BEREAVED AND POOR. Sad Condition of a New-Made Widow and Her Four Helpless Little Ones. Mrs. Otilia Klaber of 153¢ Harrison ave- nue was left a widow on the 23d of July last, her husband dying after an illness of three years, during which time he had been able to do little or no work. To add to the trials of the destitute widow ber four children, the eldest of whom is only 9 years of age and the youngest an infant of 7 woeks, are now without even a sick father to take charge of them while the mother is awa; her datly work. Yes- terday Mrs, Kiaber asked Secretary Welch of the Bociety for the Prevention of Cru- elty to Children to have all her little one. 3 saye the infant, placed in some public in- stitution. She says she can take her baby to work with her. The case, which is a peculiarly sad one, will receive immediate attention., —————— Taught Him a Lesson. F.J. Ryan works in the stockyards at Baden. Last Friday James Madden, a painter, met him in Baden and told him he was hard up. Ryan took him home and allowed him to sleep on a lounge in his room. When Ryan swakened mext morning Madden had gone and Ryan missed his gold watch, chain and locket. He learned that Madden had pawned the timepiece, and yesterday he swore 1o & complaint charging him wiih grand larceny, Madden was arrested by Policemen T. L. Ryan and Engel. —————— FOR SINGLE TAX. Masterly Presentation of the Arguments in Its Favor. CROWDS ARE PRESENT. Eloquent and Forcible Address by Ralph E. Hoyt of Delaware. SOME OF THE POINTS SCORED. Remarks by Miss Susan B. Anthony, | the Hon. James G. Maguire, J. H. Barry and Others. Single tax was eloquently discussed and the cause of its advocates generously con- tributed to last night at Metropolitan Hall, where a large number of people gathered to listen to Ralph E. Hoyt, who came all the way from Delaware to solicit | T | tribution with a $20 piece and Mr. Rey- nolds followed snis. James H. Briy, 3. 4 Ross of Petaluma and Benjamin Johnson 3 1 contributed $10. of Copperopolis each Chairman Manzer, Joseph Leggett and two others each donated $3, And then a coliectian was taken . up by passing around the hat, Susan B. Anthony, who had a seaton the platform, made an appeal for votes for the eleventh amendment, striking out the word “male” from - the constitution, and met with a cordial reception. Congressman Maguire then spoke as fol- OWS: Of all reforms 1 mplished 1 hold sin- gle tax to be fim,obgiu‘é:: Tewill establish the complete independence of mankind and en- able him to work put his own salvation. No matter what arguments may appesl to others to give suffragejto the woman, no seli- ish argument need be made to the single-tax- ers. Wedo notask how they will vote; all we desire to know is that they are right. In the Delaware campaign the initial strug- gle for industrial emancipation_is now. being made. Everywhere I find a feeling of unrest among the people of the United States—a de- sire to find something that will relieve them from their present troubles. Industrial eman- cipation cannot come until man has free and equalaccess to the natnral resources stored upin the earth. No reform can accomplish that result except the single tax, which will strike down the barrier that stands between the people and their natural opportunities. Grand Jury Did Not Meet. The United States Grand Jury was to have been formally sworn in yesterday, but when the time arrived it was found that too many had been excused. In addition to this P. B, Cornwall, Charles Kohler and F. McKee Stock- ing were absent, Judge Morrow promptly hold- ing them in contempt of court. The Marshal was instructed to bring the derelict jurors into court on Friday next. A special venire of twenty-five was also ordered. ——————————— Broke His Leg. Frederick Fillmore, 232 Oak street, an em- ploye in Buckingham & Hecht'sshoe factory, was alighting from a Castro-street car last nnim at Eleventh gnd Market streets when he fell and broke his left leg in two places.

Adolph Nothbaar, a bartender at the New Louvre at 14 O'Farrell street, was yesterday notified by the German Consul that he had fallen heir to a large estate in Germany. The windfall consists of 450,- 000 marks, whick comes to the bartender through the death of an uncle in Father- land. There is also’a prospect of Nothbaur falling heir to a fortune of 1,000,000 marks frem a relative in Austria. The lucky man is 52 years of age, and married and be has several chilaren. His wife has some means in her own right. The family live at 537 Stevenson street. Some time ago Nothbaar was the proprietor of the old Rathskiller saloon on Turk and Market streets before that place became the Thalia. He has since been employed as a plain bartender. Years ago he was the proprietor of a saloun in Oakland. Nothbaar states that he will return to Germany at once and take pos- session of his property, which, however, he will have to share with his only rela- tive, a sister. ALMA JOSSELYN DYING. Dr. Marten ‘:Vrlle. Her a Letter Plan- ning a Flight From the Chiefl of Police. Alma Josselyn, the young woman who lays all the suffering of her biighted existence to the mesmeric glitter of Dr. Marten’s restless orbs, lies on the death couch, with the moist imprint of the grim specter on her brow. Her physician, Dr. Logan, states that in funds for the campaign of the single- taxers now going on in that State, to the Hon. James G. Maguire, James H, Barry and others. Seated among the speakers of the evening on the platform were Jo- seph Leggett, Miss Mary E. Hay, D. Gal- bert Dexter and others prominent in re- form movements. L. M. Mauzer called the meeting to order, stating its object was to haye the single-tax question explainel by those who have made a close study of it and to secure funds for the Delaware single-tax campaign. “The war that we are waging,”’ he said, *'is a peaceful one. It depends upon moral force. The parties are now lining up; they are those who are committing whole- sale robbery ahd those who are opposed to it.” Relph E. Hoyt was introduced, and in slow, well-rounded sentences and clearly enunciated words told of the progress of the battle in the little and historic State of Delaware. * Mr, Hoyt is a man weil on in years, his hair being of a silvery white. He spoke in part as follows: We_are not all in favor of free silver, but we are all in fuvor of free land. We are notail in favor of a gold standara, but we are in fayor of a single standard of justice for all. We have nothing against the gold bug or the silver bug, but we are after the land bug, and we will cateh him, too, in the Delaware tra; The land &“e“mn closely involves the labor quesiion, When the landlord is abolished the labor question will be settled, Then no one will need to look for a jub. There will be plenty of land for every one, A year agd the 3ingle Tax Society decided to concentrate its efforts in Delaware to secure the passsge of a single-tax law there. Three or four years azo an experiment was | tried in the town of Hyattsville, Taxes were removed from personal and improved prop- erty, and enougi was added to the land to make up thedeficiency. It worked mest favor- ably. More money was spent during the next year for improvements than for any preceding year. Atthe end of a_year the Supreme Court of the State declared this singie-tax law un- constitutional, end the mext vear improve- ments fell off to a most remarkable extent. The chairman of the town trustees of Hyatts- ville was the one who suggested the present campaign in Delaware, and this led to Ppresent movement in. that State. Bingle tax is not socialism nor anarchy. It is not too late to abollsh this present gigantic evil of taxation—the mother of all grinding and oppressive monopolies, Nature lormed no statute of limitations, The time has come for its abelition. Let us abolish it by the Seut aixt Inmats ut sixteen years ago a_proclamation was issued by a man in the_far Vyut in this very City of San Francisco, He called his proclama- tion “Progress and Poverty.” It has since been printed in all the languages of civiliza- tion anad has been read by millions of people. To-day all true single-taxers everywhere throughout this land are sacredly pledged to stand by that proclamation. James H. Barry spoke of the blessin, that would resalt from the adoption of the single tax. : ‘‘Under right conditions,” he said, ‘‘every inyention should be a blessing, but under existing conditions it is a curse, as it throws men out of employment every- where; and the more surplus labor you have the more readily can you enslave it. With the ulnglo tax in operation no man will need to be out of employment, for there will then be ample field for his labors.”” James A. Reynolds followed in a brief LoaNs on diamonds. .

An Interesting Keport From T. Ford Upon Late Congres- sional Bills. An interesting meeting of the executive board of the California Miners' Associa- tion was held last evening, and those present wers: J. H. Neff, president; A, Carrington, secretary pro tem.; W.W. Montague, Dan T. Cale, Professor Christy, 8. J. Hendy, Hon. Grove L. Jonnson, E. C. Voorheis, E. H. Benjamin, S. K. Thorn- ton, H. T. Power, Felix Chuppolel. J. J. Crawford, J. W. Wright, Thomas R. Church, Tirey L. Ford, J. M. Thomas and Judge J. F. Davis, Nearly the whole session was consumed in listening to the Hon. Tirey L. Ford, who went to Washington in the early part of the year to represent the interests of the California hydraulic miners before Congress. In his report Mr. Ford stated that the bill intended to reduce the penal- ties provided in the Caminetti act was not passed. The bill intended to amend the Federal mining laws 'was temporarily neglected, but it may pass at a future date. The mineral lands bill also failed to pass, owing to parliament- ary technicalities which made its continu- ance necessary to the next Congress, However, Mr. Ford and the California delegation and friends in other parts of the United States did succeed in securing the passage of an appropriation bill for $230,000 for the construction of debris- lmpouudinfi dams in several of the tribu- taries of the large navigable streams of Californis It was decided to bold the next conven- tion of the California Miners’ Association on the second Tuesday in November. ——————————— SCHOOL OF DESIGN. Opening of the Fall Term—Success of the Night Class Assured. The fall term of the School of Design of the San Francisco Art Association opened yesterday under favorable auspices. The term this season opens two weeks earlier than usual, and no doubt many of the students will not report until the middle of the month, The enrollment yesterday sliows a repre- sentation of pupils, not only from Cali- fornia, but from other States of the Pa- cific Coast. The directors of the association are highly gratified overthe assured success of the night class. Already forty students bave been enrolied and twenty-seven at- tended the sciool fast night. This class is oonducted by John Stanton, He urged its establishment on the board of trustees, and is very confident that it will become popular. [n the work of pre- paring for the reception of this class the directors have extended encouragement to Mr. Stantan. The opening last night was exceedingly agreeable to the teacher. — . —————— Wi Street and Gold. George H. Sullivan of the Wall-street law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell is at the Palace.

Her father appeared pale and worn last night, and said that with a single excep- tion all her relatives had been sent for to be present at the last hour. i In the meantime Svengali Marten sits in his cell and concocts schemes to regain his former influence over her. Two days ago he sent a note to a friend requesting that an inclosed letter be smuggled to her. The epistle is indited in a microscopic hand, and recalls to mind a dream she had in which he appeared in the grasp of the Chief of Police. He admits that the dream has materialized, but says he will soon be released on a writ of ha- beas corpus, and asks her to meet him at a date to be named later. Then he will have a carriage in waiting and will bear her away from the scene of their troubles. The news that she is dying greatly shocked him and he is now writing imag- inary prescrivtions in the air to woo ber back to life and health. —————— COMPROMISED A CONTEST. The Widow of Charles D. Root Settles With His Divorced Wife. The contest of the will of Charles D, Root was yesterday compromised in Judge Coffey’s court. " The case was a somewhat peculiar one. Mr. Root was married twice. The first marriuge was an unhappy one and re- sulted in a divorce. A short time after the separation a child was born to the first wife, which child Mr. Root never saw. The result of the second marriage was a little girl, now 18 months old. The contest of the will was brougut by the first wife in behalf of her child. It seems that when the original Mrs. Root was divorced the court allowed her $25 per month for maintenance of the child. Five months after the divorce was ranted she was married to a man named rown, who bas always been regarded by the child as his er, Mr. Root in his will made provision for the continuance of the monthly payment for the support of his child by the first marriage and left the balance of the estate to his second wife. Mrs, Brown was not satisfied with the provision- made for heg child and so contested the will, The case was settled by what was vir- tually a compromise. Mrs. Brown in addition to the $25 per month was al- lowed $3000 in cash. A jury was formally summoned and went through the legal form of awarding that amount to the con- testant. The entire estate is worth about $75,000, NEW TO-DAY. I6 TEA 05, Profits Divided WITH Customers.
