10 b £ THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1896. JUDGE CARROLL WAS INDIGNANT. An Affidavit in the Cun-! ningham Embezzle~ ment Case. THE AFFIANT ARRESTED Bail Fixed at $2000 to Answer a Charge of Per- jury. COUNSEL FOR DEFENDANT., ! Explanation ‘That Conlan Was the Judge to Whom Reference Was Made. Justice ‘ot the Peace John A. Carroll was presiding in Judge Conlan’s Police Court” Department 2 yesteraay morning when the case of A. A. Cunningham, charged with embezziement, was called. The defendant in the case isaccused of embezzling money beionging to the veterinary department of the State Uni- versity. Last Monday an effort was made to have the case transferred to Police Judge Low’s court, and the order was about to be signed before the Judge to whom it was presented fully comprehended its mean- ing. Yesterday morning when the case was | called in Department 2, Justice Carroll presiding, J. K. Johnson, counsel for the defendant, began to read zn -affidavit in support of a motion for transfer to some other department. As the reading pro- gressed and the Justice began to under- stand the significance of the charges made in the affidavit, the court com- manded a louder and more distinct read- ing. %efure the attorney had finished the reading of the document the Judge in- quired if the defendant, who made the af- fidavit, was in court. Beinginformed that Cunningham was present, Justice Carroll ordéred him into custody and directed the bailiff to take him. From the bench an oraer was made to hold Cunningham 1n bonds of $2000 to answer the charge of perjury. - A lawyer associated with J. K. Johnson sought to explain that the defendant did not refer in the affidavit to the Judge then presiding, bnt had reference to the regular Judge in that department. Justice Carroll said that he understood the affidavit. Then he re- peated the order for Cunningham’s deten- tion, fixing bail at $2000. The bailiff of the court then arrested Cunningham and took him below. The case was continued until next Monday. Following is the text of the affidavit which caused Justice Carroll to make the order for Cunningham’s arrest: A. A.'Cunningham, being duly sworn, de- poses and_says that he is the defendant in the above-entitied cause; that he has reason to be- lieve and does believe that he cannot Kave a | fair and impartial trial before-the Judge pre- siding in the court who is about to try the case | by reason of the prejudice and bias of said | Judge; thatsaid bias and prejudice consists in partas follows: This afiant is informed and | lieves, and therefore upon his information d belief states, that said Judge is a personal | friend of the prosecuting witness and that both are members of the same order or so- | ciety; that affiant was arrested on | July ' 28, 1896; that at his request| © case was set for trial on or about Tuesday, August 14, 1896 ; that ever since said day de- fendant has been resdy and anxious to try said cause, but against his will and consent the cause has been continued from time to time, but said cause came up on Thursday, August 20, 1896, for trial; that defendant was ready and demanded that the cause be tried; that against his_objection the cause was continued until Tuesday, August 25; that all of said continuances have been ordered by the Judge without any legal show- ing or reason therefor being shown or given by the prosecution; that the whole course of said Judge in relation to the continuance of said cause has tended to and actually has worked great hardship and injusticeupon defendant, and has amounted toa partial denial of justice; that during the consideration of saxd cause relating to de- fendant’s urgent request for immediate trial the prosecuting attorney engaged in & whis- pereda conversation with said Judge, where- upon without sssjgning any reason therefor the Judge ordered the cause continued. Justice of the Peace Carroll is very in- dignant over the allegations in Cunning- ham’s affidavit that he belongs to the ssme order as the prosecuting witness. Justice Carroll emohatically denied the allegation and intimated that he would in all probability swear to a complaint this morning charging Cunningham with per- jury. Judge Belcher accepted a bond in $500 for Cunningham’s release late yesterday afternoon and he was set at liberty. e THE HORSES RAN AWAY, Rare Presence of Mind Displayed by Father Powers of Livermore. ‘He Stops the Horses in a Patrol Wagon and Prevents a Very Serious Accident. The horses attached to the Southern station patrol wagon bolted at Eighth and Mission - streets yesterday afternoon and, but for the presence of mind of Rev. Faihér Powers of Livermore, a serious ac- cident would have resulted. About 1 o’clock there was a call for the wagon to go to 108 Sixth street. Mrs., Van de Bogart, the wife of policeman Van de Bogart, had failen downstairs and frac- tured her nose, cut her forehead and other- wise injured herself. Policemen Galloway and Beach accom- panied the wagon and they put the woman on the stretcher and started for the Re- cerving Hospital. At Eighth and Mission streets, the driver, Henry Carlson, made a sbarp turn to avoid colliding with 1 pass- ing team and one of the wheels went over a large cobble-stone. The sudden lurch to theside threw Carlson from his seat and the horses took fright and dashed north on Eighth street. Carlson had the reins in his hands and clung to them while being dragged along the street for about fifty yards, when be had to let go. Policemen Gallo- way and Beach climbed to the front of the wagon in the hope that they might get a hoid on the reins, but as the reins were trailing on the ground they were helpless. The horses dashed across Marzet street and evidently knew where tley were going, as they turned into City Hall avenue and made for the hospital. Fatber Powers was standing on the ! Mrs. I. A. Hull of the Chinese Methodist mind, seized a cane from a bystander and just as the maddened animals were pass- ing him he dealt the one nearest him a blow on the nostrils with the cane. The horse swerved and fell and its companion instantly stopped. The two policemen jumped from the wagon and seized the horses by their bridles and all danger was over. All tne time Mrs, Van de Bogart lay comfortably on the stretcher and was un- aware of tie fact that the horses had run away. Driver Carison had his left arm sprained and was lucky to escape so easily. DESERTED IN INFANCY. A Little Colored Girl Abandoned by Her Heartless Mother to the Mer- cies of the World. Two colored women brought a three- year-old colored girl to the office of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children yesterday afternoon. The little one was evidently in very poor health and seemed to realize already that the world is a severe school, for her bright, bead-like eyes were heavy with weeping. The women said that the child’s mother, who goes by the name of Brown, deserted the child about two weeks ago, since which time the hapless wait has knocked about from room to room in a Third-street lodging-house. The surroundings were not adapted for the proper raising of the child, and the women requested the society to place her in some institution. The little girl was sent to the Children’s Hos- pital for the medical aid which she evi- dently needs. TWO CHINxS: BABIES. Taken From a Disreputable House to the Methodist Mission. . Secretary Welch and Frank Holbrook of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Children, and Officer McMurray and Mission, made a ra'd on the Chinese houses of ill repute in Chinatown Ilast evening in search of young girls, Ina house in Ross alley the party found sev- | eral women, and in the rear of the house WILLIS A PLENTY OF COM Bank Books Show a Won- derful Saving in a Short Period. OVER 812,000 INVOLVED. Principal Business Was Trans- acted With the Hibernia Savings Society. NO CHANGING OF ACCOUNTS. The Ex-Chinese Inspector Is Also Said to Own Real Estate Worth at Least $15,000. If Barclay Henley and Assistant United States Attorney Schlessinger had suc- ceeded in getting all of Dick Williams’ banking business before the jury it is probable that the attorneys of the ex-In- spector would have figuratively thrown up the sponge and incidentally sought the clemency of the court for their client. From the time of his appointment as Inspector, October, 1893, to April of the was a mother and her two little babies, one about 18 months and the other about 8 months of age. Mrs. Hull decided that the surroundings were not the best for the babies, and with the officers she seized the little ones and hurried off to the mission on Washington and Stone streets. The mother wasfrantic and ran screaming after those who had taken away her babies, but she was thrust back again and again. At the mission door the poor creature raised such a dis- turbance that the police arrested her for keeping minors in a disreputable house, and she was locked up in the California- street police station. The ladies of the mission congratulated themselves unon their success in rescuing the children. MORE LOW GRAIN RATES Will Be Put Into Operation on Additional Valley Road g Points. Passenger Service to Be Deferred Till the Fresno Troubles Are Settled. Additional grain rates will be put in effect to-day by the Valley road. They will cover the four stations for which class rates were issued Saturday last, and also Patterson, five miles south of Lan- kershim. No class has or will be issued for Patterson, as grain is the only com- modity that will come from there at present. In addition to these rates for new points two reduced rates will be announced to- day from old stations. The grain rate from Burnham to Stockton will be re- duced from 60 cents to 50 cents per ton in carload lots of 24,000 pounds, and that from Escalon from 90 cents to 80 cents. To 8an Francisco the rate from each of these points will be 50 cents higher. These reductions have been made to meet teaming competition. It was found that the existing rates from the two points named did not secure the business, and it is hoped that the new rates will throw the hauling from the points named to Stock- ton into the hands of the railroad. The Southern Pacific Company will meet these reductions and issue all their reduced rates to-day, though thev are already meeting the low rates of the Valley road. % The additional rates to be issued to-day are for grain in carload lots of not less than 24,000 pounds. They are as follows: |To San Fran- To : i Stockton. | glsco and +— 24 200 250 2 250 Patterson.. 205 255 Patterson will be in competition with Borden on the main line of the Southern Pacific Railroad. At the meeting of the board of directors of the Valley road vesterday it was de- cided to issne the call for the last 10 per cent of the subscribed stock. This will return something over $240,000 and will be used to complete the road to Fresno, to erect stations along the line, to ballast the road with gravel, to pay for the passenger coaches which are expected to arrive in about three weeks, and to finish sidetracks and other work necessary to place the road in first-class operation. The road will not be opened for passen- ger business until the Fresno troubles are s@‘tfied and the road is compieted to that city. ——————— Assault To Murder, Young Chew Ming, a highbinder, was charged at the City Prison yesterday with as- sault to murder. Sunday night Leon Ah Luck, a merchant on Stockton street, was stabbed in corner of the two avenues ulklnfi to City and County Attorney Creswell. The horses were making straight for the coping 1 front of the hospital and a serious accident was imminent when Farher Powers, with rare presence of the neck, in Sullivan alley, but not seriously. i one-third of the sum actually placed by | end of a few weeks. e an appointment as inspector in the Custom- house. Colonel J. J. Tobin of the Custom-house (recalled) testified that during the absence of Collector Wise last year Williams had requested to be permitted to attend to the landing of all Chinese women.’ Washington Irving, & watchman in Chinatown, gave some unimportant testi- mony concerning his acquaintance with defendant. Daniel Einstein, a builder, and Patrick Fitzsimmons, a contractor, testified to the purchase of a house by Williams, and its subsequent conveyance to a relative, to avoid trouble with the Government. The testimony of one of the witnesses was ruled out. An affidavit made by defend- ant in June last shows that when he en- tered the customs service in September, 1893, he was not impecunious, but pos- sessed several thousand dollars. There Wwas also some testimony, previously noted, of Williams’ banking transactions. The case for the Government was then rested and the taking of testimony for the defense will begin this morning. A BIG LEASE. New Hobart Building to Be Occupied by M. Friedman & Co. Messrs. A. J. Rich & Co. have leased for the Hobart Estate Company the hand- some new editice now in course of con- struction on Post street, near Stockton, for a term of ten years at $12,000 per year to M. Frieaman & Co., the prominent furniture-dealers, who have for years been located at Stockton and Post streets. This firm will occupy the entire building, which has a frontage of 67:6 feet on Post street by a depth of 120 feet to Morton street, be- ing six storiesand basement. There will be one electric passenger elevator and one electric freight elevator. The building will be occupied by the new tenants about the middle of November. Defendant Williams and His Daughter Interested in the Proceedings. current year, Williams deposited in two local banks no less than from $12,000 and $15,000. His salary during this period amounted to $3900. Itis to be presumed, of course, that Williams spent something for household expenses, hence the proba- bility of him having speculated and saved $15,000 out of the remainder of his salary is not to be seriously considered, except as a contingent possibility. At the trial yesterday the court allowed something like $4100 of deposits to be ad- mitted as testimony. This is scarcely Wiiliams in the bank, through his wife, during the two and a half years he served as Chinese Inspector. The deposits in the Hibernis Savinegs and Loan Society from October’ 19, 1893, to April 13, 1896, ex- clusive of interest, were as follows: 1893— November 105|1885— 100/ December 8 110 December 27. & 1894— | January 24. 400/ February 2! 300/ April 2. 400/ April 1 %50 June 18, 300} June 29 220 It will be observed that within a period of two and a haif years Williams placed to kis credit in one bank alone $10,000, lacking $389 95. Of this sum $4050 was de- posited in 1895. The largest single.credit, $1400, was in April of this year, December of 1895 beij, next on the list with $1000. From 5100Y‘(§cwher 19, 1893, to $1400 April 13, 1896, was apparently an easy jump for the ex-Inspector. At first he went along in sums of $60, $70 and $100, but at no time since November 7, 1893, did he find it necessary to go below the latter sum. Incidentally it may be remarked that this account was in the name of his wife, Mrs. Isabella M. Williams, though the ex- Inspector has since sworn that all the money named above was his own. It seems, however, that Williams had another accouns with the Hibernia Bank prior to October, 1893. His bankbook shows that on September 11, 1891, Mrs. Williams deposited $200, but the same was checked out before the end of the year. Again in April of 1893 a credit is noted of $100, but this was also withdrawn at the It was not until Octo- ber of the same year that Williams opened a regular account, which he continued un- til the investigation, which has resulted in the present trial for extortion, was com- menced. 1n addition to the Hibernia account Wil- liams had dealings with the San Francisco Savings Union to the extent of, probably, $5000. A bankbook was introduced yes- terday showing deposits to the extentof $3000, and there is said to be another account of from $2000 to $3000. From the bankbooks actually TO- duced in court Williams deposited no less than $12,910 05. How much, if any, of this was taken from one bank to another is not known, but on the face the accounts appear 0 be separate. n addition to this large amount of cash Williams is saia to be possessed of real estate worth $15,000. Itis not presumed, - STRONG TALK FOR G0LD Colcnel John P. Irish and Ed- ward F. Adams Debate on Finance. E oqurnt Addresses Made in Defense of the Yellow and White Metals. Colonel John P. Irish and Edward F. Adams discussed the financial guestion last evening at the Howerd-street Metho- dist Church under the auspices of the Po- litical Economy Club of the South Park | settlement, President Bernard Moses pre- ng. Mr. Adams was the first speaker and treated the subject in the light of the de- sirability of finding an honest dollar. “The whole srgument,” said he, ‘‘cen- ters around this point, ‘the honest dollar.’ Money has three functions—first, as a medium of exchange; second, as a meas- ure of value in cash transactions, and last as a measure of value in deferred pay- ments. The latter function is the most im portant.” The justness of the present gold dollar asa standard for deferred payments he described as being the only monetary question that interests the people. He said that nothing was stable in value with reference to anything else. He said that a panic would probably follow on the fixing of silver as a standard, but it would follow anyway. He was a bimetal- list, but if we cannot have two metais then he was for silver. A . Colonel John P. Irish sald: *I think it is difficult to separate the functions of money. The most important function, to my mind, is as a medlum of exchange. “Law and practice and na.ure divided property into two divisions, fixable and movable. The exchange vetween these is termed commerce. “What elements do we seek in this form of personal property caiied money? We desire the element of stability. Reading the history of the evolution of money it will be seen that man was instigated by the motive of personal seiection to procure a medium of universal stability. “Mr. Adams says gold fluctnates. But if we indict and condemn gold because it fiuctuates what are we to do when we Propose to use as a medium of deferred payments the perishable products of commerce? These fluctvations in the perishable products that constitnte the articles of commerce are continual. “My 'riend’s proposition is to virtually de away with both gols and silver because they both fluctuate us do perishable prod- ucts, and he proposes to make these prod- ucts the real meSinm of exchange in the face of flood and famine.” An Interesting Pawn Ticket.

STRUCK BY A LUNATIC. His Skull Was Fatally Crushed by One Terrific Blow. WAS A PROMINENT FORESTER, At One Time He Was a Past Chief Ranger of Court Eclipse No. 14 of This City. Owen Clements, who was killed in the State Asylum for the Insane at Stockton Wednesday by a madman, was 8 promi- nent member of the Order of Foresters of America, being a past chief ranger of Court Eclipse No. 14 of this City. He was la well-known citizen of San Francisco, having been a contractor for a period of several years here. He acquired prop- erty in South San Francisco and also owned some real estate in.the Richmond district. The account of his death, as it has been transmitted in press dispatches from 8tockton, has aroused keen anger in the minds of his friends, who are many, and one at least has already raised bis protest against what, in his opinion, is a system of carelessness which, to say the least, is unwarranted, in view especially of the fate that has befallen Mr. Clements. The press dispatches say that Clements, who was an inmate of the asylum, was killed by a madman named Carl Gustai- sen, who was known to be very crazy and, therefore, supposedly very dangerous. Gustafsen, according to the same accou was engaged in scrubbinga floorin the asy- lum, having in his band a board affair, which was quite heavy. Clements came along while Gustafsen was at his workand kicked the dangerous lunatic on the shins. Gustafsen thereupon raised the scrubbing apparatus and brought it down with great force upon the head df Clements, who fell to the floor Jike a log. His skull was frac- turad and he died not many hours after the occurrence. Among those who knew Mr. Clements very well was L Irvine, who lives at 64 Tehama street. Mr. Irvine has written a communication in which he says that ‘it 18 very strange that the lunatics in the | State asylum should be allowed to posses and use clubs or Img!emems which may be employed as clubs.” Mr. Irvine also expressed the decided wish in his com- munication ‘‘that some competent person may take this matter in hand and fully investigate the case of Mr. Clements, That this will be done is hoped by his friends.” During a period of several years Owen longer. He removed to the corner of Clement street and Eighth avenue, in the Richmond district, something like two years ago, and resided there until last Sep- tember or October, when he was adjudged to be insane and was committed to the State Asglum for the Insane at Stockton upon the order of Judge Low. From all that his friends in the City have been able to learn about the case, Mr. Clements was not considered a dan- gerous patient at Stockton. They have no positive information on that. point, however. The dispatches say that he had been in the habit of kicking the patients on the shins at the asylum at Stockton, which was the offense that caused Gustaf- sen to strike him with fatal resuit. They say that even if he was a danger- ous patient that is no reason why he should have been allowed to have fallen into the danger which has cost him his life, and that if he was not a dangerous patient he ought not to have been in the company of Gustafson. They admit at the same time that they Know compara- tively few of the facts. Such facts ds they know only have tended to arouse their indignation and to stimulate their desire to have all of the particulars carefully looked into. L g Mr. Clements was still quite young, be- ing aged 43 years. He was a bachelor, witbout relatives in the United States so far as is known by his friends in this City. He has a brother in Ireland of whom he often spoke, and he was reported by Mr. Clements to intend to come soon to this country and possibly to San Fran- cisco to reside. 2 Mr. Clements was somewhat quiet and reserved in his lodgings, and this is about all the information that he furnished con- cerning his family connections. No re- sponsibility is attached to Gustafsen, who was the cause of Mr. Clements’ death, asa matter of course. Daniel Sullivan, an old friend of Mr. Clements’, has gone to Stockton and will probably make arrangements to bring the remains (o this City for interment. It is also probable that some action may be | taken by the members of Court Eclipse No. 14 of the Order of American Foresters to pay fitting respect, and they may take other action. Very likely Daniel Sullivan may inquire particularly at Stockton con- cerning Mr. Clements’ death. He is ex- vected back to-day or Monday. Yester- day he was not at his place of business on Mission street, having gone to Stockton as soon as possible after he heard of the de- mise of Mr. Clements. Thetwo men have been friends for years. Some interest will attach to what Mr. Sullivan may say upon his return. HIGH RETURNS ON ORE. Jere Lynch Says at Least 75 Per Cent of Car Samples Should Be Returned.

Will Probably Be Named by a Special Civil Service Com- mission, There is somewhat of a muddle in the local Hulls and Boilers office as to the method to be adopted in selecting a suc. cessor to the late Captain Talbot, inspector of hulls. In times gone by it has been cus- tomary for the Supervising Inspector District Judge and Collector of the Port tq agree on a man and then submit the same to the Secretary of the Treasury. Shortly after Captain Talbot's death, however, the Civil Service Commissioners claimed the right to order an examination for the office and notified the Secretary of the Treasury to that effect. The point was conceded at the time, but later the department reviewed the case and, accord- ing to the latest information, has thrown the appointment back on the old board, On Saturday last the following telegram was received : WASHINGTON, D.
