16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL. FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1896. ROBERT BRGHT WODING DEATH, A Pioneer Whose Coffin and Monument are Made. HIS STRANGE LAWSUIT.| | will. Seeking to Recover Prop:rty Given Away to His Sister. WHEN HE WAS ATDEATH'S DOOR Charitab'e Societies and Friends Are Remembered in Gener~ ous Bequests. One of the most remarkable suits ever brought in tnis City in on the calendar for trial in Judge Hebbard’s court next Fri- well-known, old-time San Francisco sa- loon-keeper who made barrels of money in his day by dealing out his fuvorite hot Scetch, at the corner of Dupont and Wash- ington streets. Death, contrary to expectation, did not visit the residence of the Widow Craig, at 1431 Pine street, where Bright resided at the time, and an unpleasantness started between them. The waning of their affection has re- sulted in the snit brought in the Superior Court and now pending before Judge Hebbard. In the suit Bright asks for the revocation of theassignment of the money in bank and the restitution of the realty deeded by him to his sister. In the complaint filed by Bright, through his attorney, James H. McKnight, be states that his sister_the defendant, had promised him she would dispose of such of his property, real and personal, as he wished, or as he had instructed to do by But in order to facilitate matters and save the expense of a Probate Court pro- ceeding he made the assignment, believing in the sincerity of his sister, Mary Craig, the defendant. When he did so transfer his money and realty he believed he was about to die; but since that time he was restored to health, and he wished his gmney and other property returned to im, This complaint was filed on_the 18th of April, 1896, and two days later Judge Slack issued a restraining order prohibiting the defendant ffom either drawing or assign- ing any of the money in bank, or in any way deeaing or transferring her interestin the real estate, if any she had. The summons in the action was served by publication upon the affidavit of Charles W. Smith, who swore tnat when be went to the defendant’s residence at 1431 Pine street Mrs. Craig would look out on him through the parlor window, but would not so much as ask him what his business was. This line of conduct was construed by Judge Hebbard to mean, in the language ROBERT BRIGHT, Who Is Wooing Death. day. The plaintiff is Robert Bright, who seeks to recover from his sister, Mrs, Mary Craig, valuable property which he gave her at a time when he believed he had but a few nours to live. Prior to this time he had a handsome monument erected for himself in the Masonic Cemetery and Mrs. Craig had selected a fine casket for his sepulcher. Bright, who is a paralytic, lives at 1434 Broad way. At the time Robert Bright was par- alyzed he was posessed in his own right of $897535 in the San Francisco Savings Union, $8006 02 in the German Savings Bank, and a lot at the northeast corner of Broadway and Polk street, all of which, 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure, *‘evading the process of court,” and, as & remedy made and provided in such cases, service of summons was had by publication. To this complaint the defendant through ber attorney, F. J. Castelhun, has de- murred, and has asked that certain lines, words and figures in the complaint be stricken out. The hearing of this demurrer is set for | next Friday before Judge Hebbard. But the plaintiff, Bright, will not be present. His deposition, however, bas been taken and is now in the custody of | County Clerk*C. F. Curry-in a sealed en- | velope, where it will remain until Judge Hebbard orders it opened and read.

To a CALL representative Bright, whose mind and memory are as clear as ever they were, stated that he is now in his eightieth year, and his sister is in her seventy-seventh year and is the mother of one son, who resides with her at 1431 Pine street, where he (Bright) has resided for fifteen years. It was at this residence that he was taken suddenly ill fifteen months ago, and then he transferred all of his property to his sister, under the belief that he had only a few hours to live. There was a conditional trust, however, that he wounld give to the Protestant Orphan Asylum $3000, to the Masonic Widow and Orphan Society $3000, to the Temple Re- bekahs $500, 'and smaller bequests to numerous friends and acquaintances who had been close to him for years. He left the rest to her and her son and his four chiidren. It was at this time that she went to the undertaker’s and picked out the very best casket in the establishment for her brother. On her return home she in- formed him of her selection. He was well pleased and still hopes she may keep her promise and have him closely tucked away under its cover as soon as tardy death makes a call on him. The monument which will mark hislast resting-place he had erected under his own supervision, and the inscription cut thereon, leaving only the date of death to be filled in by his Masonic brethren of Gotden Gate Lodge. _The coldness between himself and his sister was occasioned, he says, because he was by far too healthy an invalid to have about. Hence he caused his own removal to the home of Mrs. Caroline Flockhart, an aged German lady who has taken care of him, and who, when he was at his sis- ter's residence. prepared and carried his food to him. This lady he wishes to pro- vide for liberally. The Masons and Odd Fellows provide kim with a day and a night nurse.. But for this he says he will pay, as he does not wish to be under any obligation to any one while he has the means. But 1o bis sister he will leave nothing if he can help it.

F, A, HOLBROOK’S RAID. Many of the Childish Inmates Spirited Away by Their Owners. A TRIO FINALLY CAPTURED. There May Be a Legal Battle Over the Guardianship of the Youngest. F. A. Holbrook of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, H. Mc- Murray of the same organization and M. McCurrie of the Bociety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, assisted by Police Sergeants Anderson and Woolweber, made a successful crusade against vice in Chinatown last evening. The officers made a raid on several notorious Chinese dens, and ere the night’s work was over three young Chinese girls had been res- cued from a life worse than slavery anfl given a good home in the Methodist Chi- nese Mission on Washington street. At 8 o’ciock in the evening the raid be- gan. A house run by an unknown high- binder at 710 Jackson street was the first to receive attention. Mr. Holbrook had been informed that several girls of tender years were living in the house, and aeterm:ned, ssible, to remove them to one of the missions. The proprietor of the house was evi- dently aware that a raid on his establish- ment” was being contemplated, and when the officers arrived not a girl was to be found. s From this place the party went to a house on the corner of Bartlett alley and Pacific street, but were again disappointed. A number of men employed as watchmen by the various Chinese dens and mer- cantile establishments became aware that their employers’ houses were in danger of being raided and gave the alarm. This resulted in the heavy plank and 1ron doors being closed against the officers. Tie young girls were also stowed away in almost inaccessible closets and corners. A disreputable house run by Wong Fook, 15 Bartlett alley, was next visited. Owing to the alarm given by the white watchmen not a girl could be found in the place. The officers, however, soon discovered that the girls had been hurried through a -mfléidoor into an adjoiniug house run by Jim Sing. The oéefirs decided to break in the door. As soon as they began upon it with their hammers and clubs the girls made a dash for liberty down th> front stairs. This avenue of escape being guarded they turned back into the building. Several of the members escaped by vari- ous ways, but mned".’l‘".(}?nl;'“ —Yee ] 3 S fua Tda Halltof ‘the Methodist Obinese Mission was informed of the capture. She procured a hack, and the three girls were taken from their life of shame to the Mis- sion home. Toy Gum, one of the rescued girls, is barely over 15 years of age. From a Chinese standpoint ste is very pretty, and her capture will in all probability cause a bitter legal contest. She came to this country from China during the Atlanta Exposition, and since that time has been sold into slavery three different times. Wong Fook bought hera few weeks ago for $2000, and it is evident that his speculation will prove to be a losing one. A TARG=T OF HIS HANDS. A Ship’s Steward Stood Up by Desperate Footpads at Port Costa. Last Wednesday night a sailor at Port Costa was returning to his ship, and when a couple of hundred yards from his dest1- nation was stood up by a couple of foot- pads. They ordered him to throw up his hands, and two pistols pointed at hishead made him quickly obey. They went through his pockets and did not find a cent. In their anger they made him keep his hands up and made targets out of them. Out of four shots only one took effect, and that went clean through the palm of the sailor’s ieft hand. The British ship Springburn is at Port Costa loading wheat for Europe. Captain Rae has a number of men among his crew who have sailed with him for years, and consequently they enjoy a great deal of liberty when the ship is in port. They appreciate the captain’s leniency and not one of them has ever been known to over- stay his leave. Last Wednesday afternoon the steward, M. Henderson, was given a leave of ab- sence. About midnight he turned up with his left hand running blood and he almost in a faiming condition. Captain Rae was aroused and succeeded in stanch- ing the blood. He then temporarily ba daged the wound, and yesterday Hender- son was sent to the United States Marine ospital. HTop the captain the steward told the story of the shooting. He says that two masked men stood him up on the railway track as he was making for the ship. They took him for a captain and thought they were going to make a haul. When they did not get even a cent, one said to the other: ‘“Let’s have some fun with the Briticher, anyhow.” «How ?"’ said the other. “You take two shots at one hand and T'll take two at the.other. The man who misses pays for the drinks.” The wager was taken and the shooting began. Every time a gun was pointed the sailor dropped his hands, but when his head was threatened he raised them again. Out of the four shots only one took effect, and that went through the palm of nis hand. Such was the story told by the steward to Captain Rae. The latter did not be- lieve it and searched the man for a pistol, but could not find one. His room was also searched, and while there was no gun there a box of cartridges was found in one of the drawers. 'the sailor sticks to his story through thick and thin and the cap- tains of the ship now loading at Martinez have now about come to the conclusion that it was after one of themselves the footpads were when they held up Hen- derson. —————— COUNTEEFEITERS CAPTURED, Sons of Well-to-do Farmers of Lebanon, .

The Coin Paid Into the Treasury Shows an Immense Fall. ing Off. The following statement shows the number of civil and criminal cases insti- tuted during the fiscal year ending June 380, 1896, by the United States Attorney for the Northern District of California in the United States Circuit and District courts, and the disposition of the cases. Forty civil cases and 122 criminal cases were commenced; thirty cases were wied and closed, and 114 civil cases are now pending. Out of the number of criminal cases which were pending on the 1stof July, 1895, and the number commenced during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1896, 149 cases were disposed of, as follows: Seventy-nine persons were convicted, twenty-nine acquitted, forty-five cases were dismissed and fifty-four are now pending. In addition to the foregoing, 148 crim- inal cases were prosecuted before E. H. Heacock, United States Circuit Court Commissioner, for infractions of customs, internal revenue, postal, pension, mari- time and navigation laws, and for other violations of the Kederal laws, all of which cases with the exception of four or five were examined and closed. A large number of suits by the United Statesfor the purpose of review= ing the decisions o? the Board of United States General Appraisers, con- cerning the classification of mercnhandise imported here by various firms, were insti« tnted in the United States Circuit Court and disposed of. Of this class of cases there are now pendingin said court about fifty cases, most of them known as “The Btarch Cases.” The guestion involved in these cases is whether the substance is starch or tapioca. The testimony in these cases has been taken and the causes will be argued in the course of a few weeks. Beveral other suits on appeal to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, in which the Government is either a party or hasan interest, have been decided, the United States Attorney having represented the Government in said cases by authorty from his department, There has been a wonderful increase in civil and criminal business within the vast three years. On the other hand the Chinese business has shown a considera- bie depreciation over previous years. Ten and fiiteen years ago it was a common thing for the District Court to turn into the treasury from $300,000 to $400,000 as the result of sales, including domesziqund foreign opium seized. During the fiscal year justended only $2000 was returned.
