THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 29. 1896. HOW THE SENATOR KISSED MRS, CRAVEN The Lady’s Nurse Tells of Several Tender Passages. noon the deposition of Charles L. Fair will be continued, and the depositions of Attorneys Lloyd and Wood and Charles 8. Neale will be taken. CASE IN THE COURTS. Attorney Wheeler’s Latest Demur- rer Overruled by Judge Slack. The latest of Charles S. Wheeler’s de- murrers in the Fair case was oyerruled by Judge Slack yesterday aiter an interesting little dialogue between Mr. Wheeler and Van R. Paterson and the court. Mr. Wheeler objected to Mr. Paterson’s fourth amended opposition on the ground that it was uncertain in thatit opposed HIS MANY INTERVIEWS He Told the Attendant That They Were Betrothed and Would Marry. ALSO CALLED HER “DEARIE” Once He Said That He Would Build Her a Fine Mansion on His Lot on Nob Hill. The deposition of Mrs. Margaret S. Cosack, a professional nurse, in reference to Ler kniowledge of the relutions of Sena- James G. Faii and Mrs. Nettie R. Craven, was taken of Delmes & Shor! Mrs. Cosack te idge. g 4 | tified that in her presence Senator Fair said in 1891 that Mrs. Craven was be- trothed to him, and that he was going to marry her, and that on several occasions Senator Fair kissed Mrs. Craven. He also expressed concern for Mrs. Craven re- peatedly, asserted his right to look out for her, because they were betrothed, and Mrs. Craven, in the presence of Mrs. Cosack, confirmed what Senator Fair had said concerning the betrothal. In adaition to kissing Mrs. Craven be- fore Mrs. Cosack Senator rair habitually addressed her as ‘‘Dearie’’ whenever they met. Only one deposition was taken yes- terday, but that one was quite interesting. The substance of Mrs. Cosack’s testimony is given below: Margaret S. Cosack deposed that she has lived in San Francisco twenty-two years. Her business is that of a profes sional nurse and this has been her bus ness ever since she came to California. She nursed Nettie R. Craven once. That was in 1891, about the first of September. She nnrsed Mrs, Craven three weeks at the Colonial Hotel, at the corner of Jones ana Pine streets. Mrs. Craven's room was at the head of the stairs on the Jones street side on the first floor. While she was sick the room was changed to the second or third floor on the other side of the building. The witness knew Senator Fair and met him at Mrs. Craven’s room. She saw him several times in Mrs. Craven's room. a ffectionate toward Mrs. Craven. ke to her in affec- nate terms and called her ‘‘Dearie,” em- r at her bedside. Craven was so sick that she ivan to make her will. Senator Fair was there. vas drawn Mrs. Craven was ch excited—so much so that after the 1 had been drawn she grew worse and in a critical condition and likely to die during three or four days. Concern- ing of the will and what fol- sack said: ‘air went for me and said that Craven was “‘Senator F I was the nurse and that Mrs. in my charge and I had no -igh t to per- er to have the will drawn. I did not recognize his right to speak so to me and to!d him so. “Senator Fair said: ‘I have a right to protect this woman. Sheismy betrothed.’ Thnen he turned to Mrs. Craven and asked, ‘Is not that so, dearie?” Mrs. Craven said ‘yes’ to this. Senator Fair told me to take particular care of Mrs. Craven and said that he could not afford to take any chances, and he gave me $20 to get any little delicacy Mrs. Craven might need, so that she need not wait for meals,” “Did he say anything about his rela- tions toward Mrs. Craven?”’ asked Mr. Delmas. “Yes: hesaid that he intended to marry her. He also said that he intended to give her something more cheerful to think about than wills or dying and that he build a house for her on his street lot, and sne would have t mansion about there.” Cosack also testified that Senator Fair gave her $20 at another time and told herto go to the restaurant at any time to get delicacies for Mrs. Craven. He caused Mrs. Craven’s room to be changed. One afternoon, when he was present, the elevator was running very rapid The elevator was next to Mrs. Craven’s room. He said that this would not do, and he ordered that her room should bechanged and that she should have the best room in the house. After Mrs. Craven was moved upstairs Senator Fair said one day that he might be gone for a few days. He told Mrs. Cosack on several occasions to take the best care of Mrs, Craven and not to let any one see her. He said that he was going to marry Mrs. Craven and he had a right_ to look out for r. He objected one afternoon to the ic of 4 piano in a room near by, upon which a young lady was practicing, and said that it must be stopped. It was stopped and the piano was moved away to the children’s room of the hotel. Mr. Pierson cross-examined. The wit- ness did not know exactly when she was at Mrs, Craven’s room—that is, not the exact date. She kept no books. She was three weeks constantly with Mrs. Craven. All the time Mrs. Craven was very sick, but sat up the !ast three or four days that the witness was there, Mrs, Cosack never knew Mrs. Craven vrior to that sickness. She hes seen Mrs. Craven since, and once was about three weeks ago. Mrs. Cosack did not st that time tell Mrs. Craven what she wou!d testify to, and Mrs. Craven did not ask. Mrs. Craven knew, of course, what the witness must baye overheard during her sickness. Mrs. Craven asked several questions, Mrs. Johnson asked more questions. Mrs. Johnson came to Mrs. Cosack in last July snd asked concerning her memory. Mrs, Johnson keeps the Colonial. Mrs. John- son said Mrs. Cosack knew, “and I said that I did not want to be in the case or have any- thing to dowith the case.” The witness had telked only with Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Craven and Mr. Foley, who is her lawyer. Mrs. Cosack continued her statement to the effect that while Mrs, Craven was very ill Senator Fair called every day. She made her will in the evening at 8 o’clock. nator Fair was not there when the will was made. He never called in the even- ing, for the physician, Dr. Reynolds of ‘Alameda, came in the evening. The room which Mrs. Craven occupied in the Colo- nial when she was first ill had an alcove, but it was all one apartment. Senator Yair generally came between 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon. He did not send his card up, but came up and _knocked at the door and the witness let him in. vSenator Fair said’ that she should make no will without his consent. She was his betrothed and he bad a right to iook out for her. He always stepped up to the pedside when he came and embraced ber.” “What do you mean by ‘embraced her’?'’ asked Mr. Pierson. -‘He kissed her,” answered the witness, with sharp emphasis. The dep?:siut)pns will- be continued Sep_ tember 11 in the case of Angus et al. vs Nettie R, Craven et al. Next Friday after esterday in the office, that she wanted to know what | the will of Beptember 24 on the ground that it was a forgery and again on the ground that the earlier will had been sus- tained by a republication. He remarked that they were all very desirous of expedit- m§ the litigation. udge Black in some astonishment re- marked that it. would be as well not to speak of expedition in regard to this case, at which all the lawyers, including Mr. ‘Wheeler, smiled broadly. The court inquired of Mr. Paterson if his position was not a litile inconsistent. “Not at all,” said Judge Paterson. ‘“‘All through our opposition the ground taken is that the later will is a forgery, and I am amazed that the point should be raised by counsel. The statement as to the re- publication is simply one of fact to sup- port the other. In case any other wills should be found bearing date between the st and the 24to that statement would be most material. **It seems remarkable to me,” continued | Mr. Paterson, “that such stienuous efforts should be made to deprive these babes whom I representand who have no money or standing in court, especially in view of | the fact that Charles L. Fair, the only | other contestant, takes more under the pencil will than he does under the earlier will.,” He desired to be informed as to the | reason. He suggested that Fair could not be serious in his contest, and was only de- sirous of getting the children out of the way. Wheeler did not vouchsafe an explana- tion, but said that if the allegation of re- | publication was not an issue it should be stricken out, Paterson objected. *I wish to be can- did with the court,” he said. “I may wish to make claim to that ground later.”” The court decided to overrule the de- murrer. Mr. Wheeler then entered into an argument to strike out the reference to the republication. He attempted to show that a mere statement of the legatee did not amount to a republication—that it was necessary that some additional provision of the will be made in order to bring it within that category. Judge Paterson will reply next Monday. MEXICAN PATENT LAWS The Government Issues a Decree Amending Former Statutes. Literal Translation of the Important Document Furnished by the Coosul-General.

Chief Crowley on Thursday received a dispatch from the Chief of Police of Asto- ria to take possession of Dollie Boswell, a little girl 10 years of age who would arrive on the steamer State of California, as the girl’s mother wanted her to return to her home in Tacoma. Policeman Callahan took the girl in charge on the arrival of the steamer early yesterday morning and took her to the | City Prison to await further instructions from her mother. Doilie is a child actress and five months | ago her mother placed her in charge of Mrs. Ethel Jewett, an actress, who was a personal friend of hers, as her stepfather did not treat her well. Mrs. Jewett and her busband took the girl to Astoria, where she assisted in their performances, and then they came on here to fill an en- ragement in Sacramento. The little girl does not like to be so far away from her mother, and says she will be glad to get home sgain. i e Livsky Stiil at Large, Thomas Linsky, who is wanted by the police on the charge of murder, has not yet been found, although ten officers who know him have been specially detailed on the case.

Hammon Scores a Triumph. BEEN BEATEN BUT ONCE The Most Successful Experiment Ever Made on This Coast. SOAR HIGH ABOVE THE CLOUDS Enough Electricity Runs Down the Wire to Knock a Man Off His Feet. Yesterday afternoon Weather Forecaster W. H. Hammon and Assistant Alexander McAdie conducted the most successful kite-flying that has been done up to this facturing Company for $121 65 and coats, and in case of Polk’s boast of being execu- tion proof proves correct he will be brought up on order of examination. —_———— HASKELL NOT DISBARRED, He May Be, However, if He Does not Pay a Certain Note. Judge Slack yesterday dismissed the dis- barment proceedings pending against B. G. Haskell. In dismissing the matter, his Honor remarked that the reason for dismissal was that the evidence produced did not substantiate the complaint. Haskell is the attorney who gained a damage suit from the railroad company in behalf of Charles Young. Young claimed that Haskell appropriated the money. It was developed during the dis- barment proceedings that the attorney had given his client some sort of a note in lien of the money, and he therefore could not be convicted of embeszling it. Judge Siack, in delivering his decision as to the matter, advised Young to bring civil proceedings against Haskell to re- cover the money due on the note, and added that if it was brought to his atten- tion that Haskell sought to evade pay- ment of the note, he would then be pre- pared to listen to proceedings for disbar- ment. BENONI IRWIN. He Was Well Known in San Francisco as a Portrait Painter. Benoni Irwin, the artist, who was re- cently drowned at South Coventry, Conn., was at one time very well known in San Francisco. He was rezarded as a portrait painter of exceptional ability. Durin, the decade from 1870 until 1880 he resided here. Exemples of his work may be seen in many of the art galleries of this City. He was one of the early members of the Bobemian Club and painted the portraits of Thomas Newcombe, Henry Edwards, The Cellular Kite in Midair, and the Same Kite Collapsed, Showing the Inge nious Invention of W. H. Hammon. time west of the Rocky Mountains. In fact, it came next to the most successful in this line that-has occurred in the world. Two large kites were given to the fresh breeze blowing over the Mills building about half-past 2 o’clock in the afternoon. One was the immense 84-inch cellular kite, the invention of Mr. Hammon, and the other was 67 inches from top to bot- tom. The kites were held by piano wire let off from a large reel. The wind was blowing about twelve miles an hour, coming from the southwest. The kites rose stezdily and without acci- dent until the smaller kite reached an elevation of 4100 feet above the roof of the Mills. building, or 4275 feet above sea level. The length of wire unreeled was 6656 feet. At this height the kites made an angle with the surface of the earth of 33l de- grees. In bringing the kites back an angle of 60 degrees was obtained. The huge fliers looked like small white specks against the sky. At times bi patches of white clouds between 3000 lflg 4000 feet above the City passed between the kites and the observers on the roof of the butlding. When 2500 feet of wire bad been let out the kites began moving to the north, showing that the wind at that ele- vation came directly from the south. Coming down they twisted around to the northeast again, as they became influenced by the lower crrrents. ; The electrical current zenerated on the wire was sufficient to give a sharp shock without a condenser. ith a condenser an amount of force was generated suffi- cient to knock a man down, and a large spark was produced.

Professor Davidson was one of the party and he was enthusiastic over the results obtained. “This beats,” said he, ‘“‘any- thing tnis side of the Rockies, and is nearly as good as has ever been done.”’ *‘We have been wonderfully successful,’ said Mr. Hammon. *If we had had in- struments we would have made some very valuable experiments. The cellular kite was the invention of Hargrave of Australia. He designed it while working out a flying machine idea. “Hargrave's cells were rectangular. Potter of the Weather Bureau in Wash- ington, D. C., changed them to diamond shape. These kites are almost the same, with the exception of an invention of my own, whereby the kites become collaps- ible and therefore vastiy more convenient to bandle. It only takes five minutes to unfold my kite or to fix it up. “We have been flying kites since last February, but with varying success. The surface winds are generally too shallow. To-day there were moderate storm con- ditions. The atmosphere was in an un- settled condition, and there was this same moderate wind to a very high altitude. This has been a great triumph. With in- struments it would have been fraught with valuable results.” Professor Clement L. Wragge, who has charge of the weather department over all of Australia, with headquarters at Bris- bane, paid the Weather Bureau here a visit yesterday, and expressed great won- derment at the extreme rapidity with which a forecast was published from the time the observation was taken.

Milk Inspector Dockery and Market Inspector Davis of the Board of Health spent vesterday in visiting a number of milk ranches at Bay View and along the San Bruno road, with a view to ascertain- ing their condition as to sanitation and cleanliness. Seven ranches were inspected and in nearly all orders for changes, increased ventilation and other improvements were issued. ‘‘Clean up’’ was the general order and in all cases the dairymen promised to do so at once. In future all ranchers will be asked how long it will take to place their dairiesin a sanitary condition, and will be given from ten to twenty days to make such improve- ments as are directed. In case they fail to comply with the orders they will lay them- selves liable to revocation of their milk permits, as Inspector Dockery will rec- ommend such a course. Mr. Dockery will, during the progress of his investigations, which are to be carried on now from day to day, collect data to back up certain recommendations to the board which he 1s now preparing. These are intended to imgrou the general con- dition of the ranches and force sanitary arrangements on all. Another important object that is being served by his visits to the ranches is the detection of suspected cases of tuberculosis, pending tests with the Government tuber- culm. . The herds of every ranch visited will ba inspected, and all cows giving evidence ot the disease will be singled out and the owners warned not to sell them until the regular test has been made. Some dis- tihiguishing mark will be put on them and a record kept of the matter, so thut when the testing visit is made the inspector can be sure that they are all there.

Two Fierce Fights Between An Attorney and Detectives, JUDGE LOW INDIGNANT. Lawyer A. B. Treadwell and Sleuth Curtin Have the _ First Set-To. HONORS WERE ABOUT EASY. Then Treadwell Got Mixed Up With Curtin’s Assistants, and Was Arrested for Contempt. A violent scene was witnessed in Judge Low’s courtroom last night during the preliminary examination of E. E. Dunn, charged by the Merton Manufacturing Company with grand larceny. Dunn was arrested by Private Detective Curtin and Detective Cody, and Curtin and two of his men were in court. A. B. Treadwell appeared forthe defendant and Reel B. Terry acted on behalf of the prose- cution. When the case was called Attorney Treadwell asked for a continuance, as he was not ready to go on, but after argu- ment it was decided to proceed. Tread- well then asked that all the witnesses in The Judge made the order. Curtin and his two men remained in court. President Albert N. Bailey of the com- pany took the stand, and his examination was going on when Treadwell, noticing Curtin and his two assistants, said he thought that all witnesses had been or- dered out of the court. “These men are not witnesses,” said the Judge. “They are worse,” said Treadwell. “They are detectives, and have been hounding my client to death.” “You are 8 — —— liar,"” retorted Cur- tin. Treadwell's face®lushed with passion and he strode toward Curtin and struck him a blow over the left eye with his fist. Curtin shot out his right and caught Treadwell on the chin, and it was give and take till one of Curtin's men caught Treadwell on the chin and knocked him down. The Judge had been yelling and rapping for order, but no attention was paid to him, and finally he ordered Policeman Wailace, who is attached to the court, and Policeman Livingston to see that order was kept, otherwise he threatened to com- mit the fighters for contempt. This had the desired effect, and both Treadwell and Curtin regained their composure. The examination of Bailey was con- tinued and Tredwell persistently inter- jected objections. He had got to mear where Curtin and his assistants were seated and seemed to ke in a nervous and excited state. One of Curtin's men, think- ing that Treadwell intended 1o renew the fight, struck him a blow in the face. They fought for a minute or two till Treadwell was knocked against the steps leading to the witness-stand and Bailey took him by the coat collar and pushed him down. Both of Curtin’s men jumped on top of Treadwell pounding him and Bailey was holding him down. Policemen Wallace and Livingston jumped in and pulled them off Treadwell. Everybody in the court was excited and the Judge was stand- ing up and rapping londly for order. After quiet had been restored the Judge ordered Treadwell into custody for con- tempt of court and adjourned court till this morning. Treadwell protested vig- orously, asserting vociferousiy tbat Cur- tin struck him first, but bis protests were unheeded. Policeman Wallace left with Treadwell for theg City Prison, but they had only gone along the corridor a few yards when Treadwell changed his mind and insisted upon returning to the court. ‘Wallace tried to pnll him along and a struggle ensued. Treadwell, who is a powerful man, threw Wallace, but Wal- Jace clung to him and got onto his feet. Then they wrestled along the corridor, and while a few men were discussing the fracas in the court the glass of the court- room door was smashed in aud Treadwell and Wallace, locked in a deatblike grip, came staggering in. They wrestled along the floor till Wallace got Treadwell into a Both were blow- seat and held him there. ing like porpoises. Treadwell positively refused to be locked up and denied that the Judge had so or- dered. Word was sent to police head- quarters and the Central police station and Sergeants Bethel and Green, Detec- tive Reynolds and Policemen Irvine and Rooker made their appearance. They did not know what to do, as Treadwell pro- claimed bimself an officer of the court and denied that the Judge would cast such an indignity upon him. The Judge bad left the courtroom, but returned at this moment and ordered the officers to arrest Treacwell for contempt. Treadwel: resisted and it took every one of them to drag hia out of the courtroom and along the corridor to the City Prison. He fought all the way and gave angry voice to his feelings. He calmed down when in the prison, but was loud in his denunciation of the Judge for not committing Curtin and his men for contempt also. ¥ Judge Low left an order for Treadweil to be released at 11 o'clock, and at that hour he got his liberty. Attorney Reel Terry, who happened to be in the courtroom, said afterward that he felt thankful to have escaped without a scratch. He and Judge Low later at- tended the Choynski-McAuliffe set-to at Woodward's, and agreed that it was a much tamer affair than the courtroom contest.
