10 THXE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1896. A LAWYER ROPED IN OPEN COURT Campbell Tied Attorney Bell Up by Hand and Foot. AN ODD OBJECT LESSON. Unusual Features Developed in the Trial of 0. W. Winthrop. URQUHART REMAINED SILENT When Winthrop, Who Had Told Him of His Alleged Plot, Passed Him With Campbell. The trial of Oliver W. Winthrop pro- gressed yesterday, with some peculiar developments incident to the testimony. During the forenoon session Attorney Bell, who appears for Winthrop, tried to demonstrate that the story told by Camp- anything in the plot or that it would ever be carried out. On his redirect examination Urquhart seemed to _contredict his statement con- cerning his estimation of the reality of j the plot by testifying that prior to August |3 he had told George A. Koch about it. | Koch was, he knew, a friend of Cnmpbell. | August 3 was the date of Campbell’s dis- | appearance. | __The cross-examination of Campbell by | Winthrop’s counsel dealt largely with Campbell’s acts as he testified to them, the period covered being principally the time when he was held a prisonerin fiich— mond. Concerning this feature of the case Campbell testified in answer to At- torney Bell’s questions that when he had the struggle with ‘“Pete’”’ and Winthrop in the cottage was made and that he screamed loudly; that he was tied to an armchair from 8 o’clock Monday night until 8 o’clock Tuesday morning, and he made no effort to escapeduring that time; that when he was handcuffed and gagged and placed on the bed, he found tbat he had three feet of play on the chain which was attached to him, but he made only one attempt to pull out the chain, which was held by staples; that when he walked from the house in company of “Pete,” after he had been released, and to the | Geary-street car, he did not call for help to have ‘‘Pete” arrested; he gave as his reason that he did not then know what vart of the City he was in; Campbell also |said that he made no attempt to see “‘Pete’'s” face, although he was unmasked while they were passing through the street toward the Geary- street car. Another statement made by Campbeil was that he smoked a cigar which ‘‘Pete’’ had given him after the gag was removed from his mouth. He had refused to eat for fear he would be poisoned, and, while he had rinsed his mouth with water which was given to him in the cottage, he had not swallowed any, being all the time actuated by the fear of poison. The rope-tying scene was wmethins new in court. Attorney Bell is young an lithe. Campbell isathletic, but far beyond middle life. There was in evidence in the much noise | acted as stenographer for Pope & Talbot about one year. Then he was in the same capacity at Bakersfield four months, being employed by the Kern County Land Com- pany. He spent one month at los An- geles and then returned to San Francisco and worked one month for Biegfried & Brandenstein. Next he was an advertis- ing solicitor for newspapers and traveled in Utah two months for A. Schilling & Co. as a salesman. Concerning his talks with Winthrop and | his knowledge of the case, he testified that he had been acquainted with Winthrop about fiffeen montnhs. The first conversa- tion he had with Winthrop about Camp- bell took place some time in the latter part of June. While Urqubart and Winthrop | were sitting in the Occidental Hotel office Campbell passed through, and Winthrop nskeg who he was. Urquhart answered that it was Campbell of Honolulu; that he was worth several million dollars, which he had made by his own exertions. Win- throp asked about Campbell’s family, and atthat same conversation said that Camp- bell would be a good subject to kidnap. This topic was repeatedly suggested thereafter by Winthrop, and at the second conversa- tion Winthrop tried to persuade Urquhart to take part in the proposed kidnaping. Winthrop said tbat $50,000 could be got from Campbelil either in a check or in cash by using torture. Several conversa- tions which occurred were all in the same line. There were from twelve to fifteen such conversations, some in the Occidental | Hotel and some in the street. Then Urquhart testified that on one oc- casion Winthrop asked him if he had re- ceived a telegram from him (Winthrop from San Jose. A telegram was produce: in evidence which was dated at San Jose, July 31, and signed **W,”” and which said that the signer would be up from San Jose thkat night and wished Urquhart to meet him. Urqubart testitied that Winthrop repeatedly urged him to assist in the scheme, but that he steadily declined to do so. He received a letter signed “0. W. W.,” which was dated San Francisco, J 24, 1896, in which occurred the word: have been wondering how we could fully carry out the scheme.” This letterswas % ALEXANDER DVNCAN DF WEBB THE WITNESSES DA VR 7 WM 0 CAMPBRELL hibit. Concerning the transactions of the afternoon of August 3 Urquhart testified that he tailked with Winthron about Campbell about 12:30 ». M. Winthrop said that if Urqubart would not assist him be thought that he would zive up the plan. e had found a man who would help him, but he thought that this man was not strong enough. After this con- versation Urqubart went upstairs to the parlor of the Occidental Hotel and there saw Campbell and shook hands with him and spoke to him. He did not say any- thing to him about Winthrop or concern- ing Winthrop’s plans. That afternoon about 3:30 he saw Winthrop and Camp- bell walking together on Montgomery street toward the California-street cars. QUMART AT THE TRIAL OF OLIVER WINTHROP. bell is inconsistent. Bell had Campbell tie him exactly as Campbell testifies that he was tied when he was a prisoner in the house in Richmond. Then with little dif- ficulty Bell kicked his feet loose and began to gnaw at the ropes with which his hands were tied. This took place during the cross-examination of Campbell, which, with the redirect, occupied all the fore- noon. The star witness of the afternoon for the people was D. A. Urquhart. This witness became acquainted with Campbell at the Occidental Hortel, drank with nhim at the bar, and was on terms of pleasant casual acquaintance, such as often exists among people stopping some time together at the same public house. Winthrop came to Urfinhlrt, so the latter testified, and told him all about a plan to Kkid- nap Campbell, and not only talked with him repeatedy about the plot, but also wrote him a letter on the same subject matter from San Jose. Then on the very day that Campbell was taken away to the house in Richmond prepara- tory to being imprisoned Wintarop came to him and said that he wanted the wit- ness to haw him. In their previous con. versation Winthrop had mentioned $50.000 as the sum he expected to get from Cam bell. When Winthrop and Campbel lefl the Occidental Hotel tozether Urquhart saw them. In fact he met Campbell and ‘Winthrop wnlki% together on Mont- gomery street. inthrop had to!d him that he had hired the house he was going to take Campbell to, but when he met them that Monday afternoon going azlwnr%‘fl{’e c;hlifom;:-nmt cars, as he ought, ubartdid not say anythin, to, Cumnb-l{qnbaut the plot. sl Uxa;nhsrt explained on the witress- stand that he did not believe there was courtroom the rope with which Campbe!l has testified that he was bound while in the cottage in Richmond. Attorney Bell drew from Cnmgbell that he had been at sea and that he had been, in fact, a ship’s carpenter for two years. Presumably he acquired some knowledge of seacraft dur- ing those two years, but he testified that he covld not tie knots very well. He did not think he could tie them as well as Winthrop bad done. “Tie me as Winthrop tied you,” de- manded Attorney Bell. While a courtroom crowaed with spec- tators looked on as curiously as did Judge Wallace, the jury and counsel at this mimic re-enactment of part of the al- leged performance in the Richmond cot- tage, Campbell tied the attorney’s hands. Then he put the rope aronnd Befi‘aunkles. Bell kicked his feet lonse and with the aid of his teeth soon freed his hands also. “‘Ob, but you are using your teeth,” said Campbell. 5 . “Well, coolly said Attorney Bell, smil- ing, “you had teeth when you were tied.” ““Yes, but they were not as good teeth as yours." “Did fan try to get loose 2"’ asked Attor- ney Bell. . *‘No; what was the use?” The first witness at the afternoon ses- sion was A. A. Brown, who loaned Win- throp $35 on July 28, Winthrop represent- ing that he wanted the money to purchase a cemetery lot, upon which he expectea to make a profit, from a man in San Jose. This testimony was introduced to show that Winthrop expected to go to San Jose for some purpose. D. A. Urquhart is aged 34. He testified Erineipully concerning his personal career. e served as a telegraph operator for a railroad many vears in Canada, and also bad a cattle ranch there. Then he came to California about three years ago. He Then he saw no more of Campbell until Campbell bad been out in Richmond. “Were you discharged by Schilling & Co. ?"" asked Attorney Bell. ‘“‘Yes, sir,”” answered Urquhart. “Were you arrested in Utah on a charge of forgery 2" *“Yes, sir, and the Grand Jury dismissed the charge.” *“Were you ever arrested on a charge of forgery here?” “No, sir—oh, yes, sir.” ;’ you forget such a small thing as I was arrested here on a charge of for- gery made by Frisbie, Risdon & Co. was discharged by Judge Sanderson. I signed the firm name on a check. I wasa member of the firm and had a right to sign the firm name.” The witness 1dentified a letter which he wrote to Winthrop on July 17, 1896, and ‘which was sent from the Occidental Hotel. In this letter Urqubart told Campbell that he was forming a mining company and bad a scheme by which Winthrop could make some money. The point which Attorney Bell sought to make was that this letter elicited the letter from Winthrop in which he said that <‘I have been wondering how we can fnvlvv ci "fi out the scheme.”’ nen Urqubart came down from the varlorof the Occidental Hotel on the aiter- noon of August 3 he testified that he saw ‘Winthrop and told him that he had just seen Campbell upstairs. Winthrop said: “Iam waiting for him,” but Urquhart did not stop Campbell nor warn him. “‘Then you made pe ffort to stop this crime?” “No, sir.” 7 Uzgqnh_ut testified thar, acting under instruction of Captain Curtin, he went to Winthrop’s house on Wednesday. two days after Campbell disappeared, and saw produced, identified and filed as an, ex-| Mrs. Winthrop. He left a message for Mr. Winthrop asking him to call the next day. Hedid this because he wanted io find out where Campbell was. His wife said that he had not been home the night before (Tuesday). Urqubart passed Wednesday night, August 5, in_Oakland. The next day Ee came back to San Fran- cisco_and conferred with Captain Curtin aud Captain Lees, and that afternoon re- turned to Plumas County. He had told George A.Koch ten days befora this of what Winthrop had said about abduct- ing Campbel After Campbell was missed l{ocn said to Urqubart that Campbell was to haye sailed that day (Tuesday) for Homolu!u, but had not gone. Then they went to see Captain Cur- tin. "Koch was Campbell’s friend. W. H. Campbell testified that he had known Campbell, the complaining wit- ness, between fifty and sixty years. He was talking with Millionaire Campbell in the Occidental Hotel on the afternoon of August 3, and Millionaire Campbell ex- cused himwself suddenly, saying that ke bad an engagement to keep, and walked toward Winthrop, who had entered *the hotel while they sat conversing. James M. Streeten testified that he saw Millionaire Campbell passing along Mont- gomery street on the afternoon of Augnst 4 in company with a man about the build :‘ (Wintbrap. The man wore & 20ft White at. » Dr. Edward Cook, M.D., of 2105 Devisa- dero street, who has known Campbell since 1881, saw Campbell leave the Occi- dental Hotel with Wintarop on the after- noon of August 3. Alexander Duncan of 207 Larkin street, the former owner of Duncan’s mills, testi- fied that on two occasions Winthrop asked him for an introduction to Campbell. He refused to introduce him. The trial will be continuea to-day. GREAT BICYCLE RELAY, Couriers Twelve Hours Late at Suburbs of Chicago. Major McKinley to Sign the Packet at Cleveland, Ohio. The couriers of the San Francisco Ex- aminer and the New York Journal conti- nental relay made fair progress through Eastern Iowayesterday. At Cedar Rapids the people were wrought up to consider- able enthusiasm. At Cedar Rapids yes- terday the relay passed out of the hands of W. Lyle Dickey of Omaha into the management of C. L. Hibbard. The couriers arrivea at Sterling, Ill, at 6:22 last evening. De Kalb, Ill., 61 miles wes. of Chicago, was passed at 10:30 p. M. The packet reached Elburn, forty-seven miles from Chicago, at twelve minutes past midnight last night. According to the schedule the couriers were due at De Kalb at 9:51 A, M. yester- day, but did not get there until 10:30 . M. and were therefore twelveand a half hours behind time. Speciai dispatches from Morrison, IIl., giving a review of obstacles encountered since the start mention the cloudbursts in the Rocky Mountains, the going astray | of the packet in Nebraska and the rains in Iowa as the chief causes of delay. The packet should be in Chicago early this morning. Vast preparations have been made by wheeimen of that city to re- ceive it and speed it on to New York, through Cleveland, Rochester, Syracuse and Albany. Van Sicklen and Sinsabaugh, editors of Bearings, and C. P. Root, e:fncr of Ref- eree, are to receive the packet at the suburbs of Chicago. Van Sicklen will bear it to tne postmaster for his signature. Itis expected that Major McKinley will sign the packet at Cleveland. According to the schedule Cleveland should be reached at 4:34 . . Saturday, but unless much lost time is made up it will not ar- rive there until early Sunday morning. The special dispatches to the Examiner bestow high praise on the wheelmen of the relays between Cedar Rapids and Chi- cago. To the eye of one gazing from the window of a Pullman car the undulations of the country seem gentle, but the bicy- cle-riders find a deal of up and down hiil riding, over roads that are not the best for speed. The packet is due in New York at 2 p. ». next Sunday, according to the original schedule. The indications are that it will be from six to ten hours late. FOR THE NEW CHARTER A Big Mass-Meeting to Be Held To-Night in Metropolitan Temple. Addresses by Prominent Citizens.

The call to order and introductory remarks will be made by James D. Phelan, and the chair- man of the evening will speak upon the charter in general. Irving M. Scott will make an address upon the public works of the charter and Thomas F. Barry upon its educational advantages. There will be an address by M. H. Hecht upon the Fire Department, and Postmaster Frank Mc- Coppin will speak from the view of an ex- Mayor. James B. Conwell of the Cycle Board [T 15 A MENACE -~ T0 NAVIGATION. Railroad’s Raft of Logs in Oakland Creek. The TO BE REMOVED AT ONCE Colonel Sutter Takes No Notice of Complaints Made by Ship-Owners. HE IGNORES COMMUNICATIONE, When the Last Raft Was Broken Up the Binding Chains Did Great Damage. The Southern Pacific’s big raft, now at anckor in Oakland Creek, is causing noth- ing but trouble to navigation. Itisright in the fairway, and tugs, scows and sailing vessels have to hug the breakwater in or- der to get into the regular channel. The freight steamers that come and go several times a day have trouble in passing the obstruction, but as nearly all of them are owned by the corporation the captains have to make the best of the situation and get past the obstruction as best they can. In the case of the freight steamer Emma and numberless coasters, including the steamers Arago and Arcata, the captains all complain bitterly and wonder why something has not been done by the State authorities. The raft is directly in the way of navigation, but as the railroad con- siders that it owns Oakland’s water front of course its management will not pay any attention to State officials. This is the second successful experiment in the matter of towing rafts of piles to San Francisco made by the railroad com- pany. As Huntington lays claim to the entire water front of Oakland he is pro- ceeding to make hisclaim good by fencing in the foreshore. The cheapest way to get piles for the work was by towing them down in rafts and tbus reducing the freight to a mini- mum. Out of half a dozen ventures only | one was successful, but the profits on it were so great that Collis P. determined to try it again. The /ast venture was from the Columbia River and it also was a success. and the Oakland Creek. 1t is this second successful attemnt of the railroad company that is raising the ire of steamboat men, tugboat captains and the masters of scow schooners and small sailing vessels. About twelve months ago the Southern Pacific succeeded in landing its first raft in San Francisco. It was towed to Oak- land Creek and anchorea in almost the same position as the present one. When it came to breaking up the raft the steel haw:er that bound it had to be cut, and when this sank it was allowed to lie where it fell. The railroad officials were busy figuring out the profits to the company on the successful landing of the raft, so the loss of a few feet of steel hawser never en- tered into their calculations. The owners of the steamer Arago have a different opinion about the Southern Pacific than that held bf Mr. Hunting- ton, however. (lncidentally Edwin Good- proof of the matter can now be seen in | the most convenient spot for the railroad the work will probably be done there. THE REVOLUTION’S SONS They Will Give a Grand Banquet on the Anniversary of Washington’s Farewell Address. There was an unusually iarge attend- ance at last night's meeting of the Sons of the Revolution held in the library of the Pioneers’ building. The day was the one hundred and thirteenth anniversary of the signing of the treaty of Paris whereby the united colonies were acknowledged by the powers of Europe to ke free, sovereign and independent States. The following named gentlemen were admitted to membership in the associa- tioa, each of whom can trace his ancestry to some warrior in the battle for Ameri- can independence: George Whitney Reed, William H. Finch, George R. Presson, Eugene D. Townsend, Charles A. Sumner, Edward Olney, Leonard S. Clark, B. M. Newcomb, Hart H. North, Captain Frank Williams and Thomas A. Perkins. An amendment to the by-laws was adonvted, in virtue of which the initiation fee was raised to $10, the yearly dues re- maining as before, $3. At the next meeting, to be held on Oc- tober 19, action will be taken on a pro- posed amendment to the by-laws whereby the annual meetin: will take place on January 8—the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans—instead of on February 22, as at present provided, leaving that day, the anniversary of Washington’s birth, free for banquets and other festivities. The other stated meeting days are to be: Aprll 19, anniversary of the battle of Lex- ington; June 17, Bunker Hill day; Sep- tember 3, signing of the treaty of Paris, and October 19, anniversary of the sur- render of Lord Cornwallis. The association is making arrangements for a banquet to be given at the California Hotel on the evening of tke 19th inst., an- niversary of Washington’s farewell ad- dress. GOING HOME ONCE Mope Jacob Snyder, the Pioneer, Pre- paring for a Trip East. The O'dest of the Old S>cramento River Steamboat Engi- neers. The pioneer Jacob Snyder will soon start back to Pennsylvanmia to visit the | scenes of his childhood and to see once | more the few surviving relatives gnd | friends who, unlike him, remained near | the place of their birth. Snyder is the oidest of the surviving engineers of the steamboats plying on the inland waters of California prior to the admission of the State into the Union. He 1s almost an octogenarian. Hale and | vigorous, with mental and pbysical facul- ties unimpaired, he is to-day a fine repre- | sentative of the pioneer Dutch families of | the old Keystone State. Born June 1, 1819, he at a very early age learned the trade of steamboat engineer- ing, and his early experiences were gained on the Mississippi River, between New Orleans and Cairo, and subsequently in | the Gulf of Mexico. When the war be- tween the United States and Mexico broke out Mr. Snyder obtained a transport and Rr(\senuted a thriving business between New Orleans and Bayou Sara. Afterward he met in those waters California’s noted | citizen, Edward F. Beale, then an accred- ited agent from the United States forces sta- | tioned on this coast. From him the young | engineer learned of the gold discoveries on | the Pacific Slope, and as speedily as possi- ble Snyder hastened to the Occidental El Dorado. He had, however, to remain six weeks in Panama. He came up on the of Trade will speak in behalf of the wheel- men, and Edward R.

Sev- | eral months ago while the Arago was pro- ceeding up the creck with a load of Coos Bay coal her propeller caught in the Southern Pacific’s discarded steel hawser. Over 300 feet of it was wound around the -shaft and it was a couple of days before the steamer could be repaired and got ready for sea again. Au appeal to the rail- road for compensation brought forth no re- sponse, and now ar appeal to Colonel Sut- ter to clear a highway for navigation is treated in a similar manner. “The raft is a menace to navigation,” said Captain C. Miner Goodall yesterday. “All captains that have to use that hig way join in saying that some ome in au- thority should have it moved. Itismoored in mid channel, and the railrcad com- pany has placed stakes all around itin order to prevent the piles escaping when the raft is broken up. On the last occa- sion they let a lot of steel rope drop into the mud and the Arago picked up sixty fathoms of it in her propeller. 1t cost us $300 to repair damages and the steamer was delaved two days.” There are a dozen of places around the bay where the raft could be broken up without danger, but as Oakland Creek is Com- Oregon, arriving here September 18, 1849, It was not long before he found employ- ment as engineer on the pioneer steamer McKim, and then on the Hartford, J.

In 1859 he obtained the position of chief engineer of the Spring Valley Water Works at Black Point in this City, and in this capacity he did efficient service for over twenty-nine years. ‘While in the Mint his nuity was displaved in the manufacture of an iron journal box for a propeller shaft, the work being done at the Pioneer foundry of the late Peter Donahue.

AN EMPLOYE’S FINANCES Captain Dilhan, the Riding Instructor, in Legal Difficulties. AN OLD WEBFOOT JUDGMENT. The Man of Military Title Up on Order of Examination Yesterday. Captamn Dilhan, instructor of the swell 8an Francisco Riding Club, with quarters at 1615 Pacific street, went through an ordeal yesterday before Justice of the Peace Carroll when he was called, up on order of examination, to tell of his per- sonal belongings &nd why he does not pay a judgment of $228 which has been hang- ing over his head for many moons—in fact, since he arrived in this City from Portland, Or., where he pursued the same vocation that earns him a living here. The gallant captain, whose accent pro- clafms him to be a native of sunny France, was so unfortunate as to get into legal difficulties while in the webfoot country. He was called upon by trades- men whose claims were unsatisfactory to pay up the amount mentioned. The tradesmen got a judgment, but no money, and Captain Dilban came to San Fran- cisco. Hearing that he was in prosperous cir- cumstances here, the disappointed cred- itors sent the necessary documents toa coilection agency and ordered that the captain be followed until he liquidated 8o it was that Dilhan was hauled before the Justice and asked many searching questions as to his financial standing. As is customary with those who are served with orders of examination, the man of military title denied that he had anythirg with which to pay the bill. Salary? Yes, the captain had a salary, but it was only $100 & month, and bow could a man pay such an enormous sum as $228 out of that insignificant stipend. Property? No, he had no property or jewelry either, nor were the pupils of the club indebted to him for his services as an instructor. ‘‘Broke"” was the inevitable conclusion from the captain’s answers, and still George Perry, the attorney who repre- sented the piaintiffs, was not satisfied. He beean to ply the nding instructor with questions regarding his employers and who paid the bills of the club. Dilban admitted that Henry Crocker was the president of the club and George | Quarre the secretary, but declared he knew nathing of its financial standing beyond the fact that he held his monthly stipend out of the moneys he coliected from pupils. He said that the club did not owe him a cent and that as far as his present condition was concerned the judgment must go unsatisfied. But the attorney, too, was unsatisfied, and he asked and obtained an order from the Justice commanding Henry J. Crocker to appear on Monday next at 2 o’clock to re- late the condition of Captain Dilhan's financial standing with the club. The Elevator Fell. An old elevator in Davis’ horse-collar man- ufactory, 134 Main street, fell yesterday after- noon about eight feet.
