28 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1896. FAIR SISTERS DID NOT DEPOSE Having Withdrawn Their Petition for Probate of the Pencil Will. HAVE JOINED CEARLES. Richard V. Dey Spends an In- teresting Hour in the Chair. HE “DECLINES TO ANSWER.” Admits Having Said That the Pencil Will Was Written in the Hand- writing of Fair. Miss Virginia Fair and Mrs. Theresa Oelrichs were summoned to appear before Notary Charles H. Phillips in the Crocker building yesterday in the matter of the Fair will. With their attorney, Reuben Lloyd, they were present, but Mr. Delmas dismissed- them in a few words, saying tbat inasmuch as they had since being subpenaed withdrawn their application for the probate of the will of the 24th, known as the pencil will, the situation had beer thereby changed and their depo- sition would not be necessary. “] wish the reporter would note that Mrs. Oelrichs and Miss Fair bave re- sponded to the subpena, are here and are willing to tell anything they may know about the matter being heard,” said Mr. Lioyd. “We will go on with the next deposi- tion,” said Mr. Delmas without looking up. “Then the presence of these ladies is no longer required ?” asked Lloyd. I have said all that need be said as to that,” replied Delmas. The ladies rose and, accompanied by | Mr. Lioyd and Mr. Russell Wilson, left the room. Mr. Wilson’s was the ‘“next deposition.” He came back ina moment and stating that he would ‘‘decline to be sworn,” and that he wished, however, to “keep the record straight” for the return to court, again bowea himseli out, still accompanied by Mr. Lloyd. Mrs. Nettie R. Craven, the central figure of the contention, now arrived, accom-, panied by her physician, Dr. Clinton. She apparently did not know that she was ex- pected to give her deposition, It was her first appearance iu the circle ot lawvers and lookers-on, artists and newspaper men outside her own house since she left the witness stand that night in Judge Black’s courtroom several months ago. She made a very fine appearance, too, it may be said, dressed in a natty suit of green, with a green hat, ornamented with a bird with long green feathers. Her physician advised her against sub- mitting to a long deposition, and the mat- ter, so far as she was concerned, was carried over until Monday. She had come with the expectation of hearing the depo- sition of the Fair sisters, and was much disappointed that they had gone without testifying. 8o the early morning scene dissolved. In the afternoon, be:ore Notary Latham, there was another scene. The deposition of Richard V. Dey was taken. It was in- teresting chiefly for what it did not dis- close and for the questions which were left unanswered. Mr. Dey said he was 61 years of age, and bad known James G. Fair since 1861 or 1862. I was in hisemploy as private secre tary during the years 1880 to 1882 he said. ‘“Prior and subsequent to that time I was in the employ of Flood & O'Brien and Mackay since 1887 protecting the titles of mining claims. I am the trustee of the children of Mr. Fair and have been since August, 1884, ‘‘Are you their trustee in the matter of a certain instrument executed by them— Charles L. Fair, Virginia Fair and Teresa A. Oelrichs—about March, 1895?" “I am, sir.”” ““Will you kindly produce it?'’ “Under_advice of counsel I decline to produce it here. I will produce it in court.” ‘“What counsel do you refer to?”’ “*Messrs. Knight & Heggerty and Reuben H. Lloyd.”” “When did you employ them?” “Messrs. Knight and Heggerty about two weeks ago, and I have consulted with Mr. Lioyd from time to time during the progress of this litigation.” "W'hen aid they advise yov in this mat- ter?’ “Mr. Heggerty advised me so about two week,a 8go. Mr. Lloyd did so this morn- ing.’ ““They advisea you not to produce it at ghef:sking of your deposition this morn- ing?”’ 'E‘Yea. sir.” *‘Where is that instrament now ?” I have it in my possession.’ “Was it acknowledged beforea notary?” ““Yes, sir.”” “Where was it written and acknowl- edged?” *In the Nevada Block.” “During the time that you were Senator Fair's secretary did you become famitiar with his hadwriting ?” *“Yes, sir; I saw him write frequently during a period of thirteen yearsand op to within a year of his death.” *“When did you first see the pencil will, so called 7’ “On the 16th day of March; I was at Reuben H. Lioyd’s office at the time. Mr. Lloyd and myself were the only persons present. Ithink the day was Sunday. I have never seen it since.” “Did you, at that time, make an ex- amination of it for the purpose of deter- mining whether or notit was in Senator Fair’s handwrniting?”’ “I looked at it for that purpose, yes, sir, for a few moments; I have since ex- amined photographs of the document for the same purpose; such a photograph was sent to me. I supposed it was from Mr. Lioyd; I heve examined it half a dozen times."” “When did you examine it?” ““Well, day before yesterday I examined it on one point.” “On what point?’ “I decline 1o answer.” *q is a perfectly proper question. I ask yonu, categorically, on what point?” “] decline to answer.’’ “Did you express an opinion upon the first inspection of the pencil will as to whether or not it was the handwriting of Bevator Fair?” es, sir; Idid.” id you, on the same day, express an opinion to any other person than Mr. Lioyd?” “1did, sir—to two or three persons. I think Mr. Heggerty was there. Idon’t remember the others.” “Did you ever express an opinion to any of the children of Senator FaE- : o “I d¢id, I think to all three of them, with- in a few days after I first saw it in the hands of Mr, Lloyd. I expressed an opin- fon to Miss Margaret Craven, alsc, in New York.” “Did you express such opinion to Mr, Mackay?" “We discussed the matter but whether 1 expressed an opinion Ido not remem- “What was the opinion you expressed when office.” 38 ‘I decline to answer.’ “Why?" “Well, it would interfere with certain business matters.” “What business matters?” ““well, I have to look into certain mat- ters reiating to these papers.” “How look into them ?” “Well,” said the witness, desperately, “T am expected to pass upon the validity of them.” “What was the opinion you had at that time?” “That it looked very much like Senator Fair's handwriting.” “Did you say so?” “I said it looked like Senator Fair's writing. I made use of some other ex- pressions, also.” ““What other expressions?”’ +1 said if it was a forgery il was a very clever one.” “What did you say about it to Miss Craven. in New York?” At this point Charles Heggerty entered and promptly objected to the question and advised the witness not to answer. “Are you the same Richard Dey who stated to a reporter of THE CALL what ap- pears in the issue of that paper of March 20, 18957 Here Mr. Deimas read as fol- lows from an interview with Mr. Dey: The handwriting of the will is most assur- edly that of the late Mr. Fair, and I aon’t | hesitate to pronounce the will genuine in every respect. 1should pe familiar with Sena- | tor Fair's handwriting if anybody is. 1was his secretary from, lei me see; anyway, it was in the '60’s, until 1884. I understood him thoroughly. We consulted together, dined to- getner, traveled together. There is no doubt in my mind but that the new document ex- presses the manner in which the late Senntor wished to dispose of his estate. It was just like him to write this new will; it was his way of doing things. He allowed these executors of the first document filed to think that they had everything their own way and then he went off and upset the whole matter by making another will. Nothing could be more charac- teristic of the man. Upon Mr. Heggerty’s advice the witness | declined to answer. “Did you have such an interview with a reporter of- THE CALL?” eggerty objected unless the name of the reporter was given, that he might know to what he was expected to testify. Delmas then went over the interview, expression by expression, asking the wit: ness if he had said so and so, at each o which the same advice was given and the witness declined to answer. Then Delmas went over the same | grounds, putting the questions airect as whether the witness thought so and so as expressed, and the witness under advice still declined to answer them. This effce- tually stalled the progress of the deposi- tion and the notary was advised to report the matter to court. ‘W. M. Pierson, of Pierson & Mitchell, attorneys for the special ad ministrators of the Fair estate, was then called. He stated the firm of Pierson & Mitchell, as such attorneys, had in their possession seven wills made by Senator Fair, count- ing the cdodicils. They were ir their hands as attorneys and they declined to produce them. Mr. Mitchell made the same state ment. Mr. Crothers of the special adminis- trators and trustees under the will was then sworn and stated that the wills wer: not and never had been in his possession. | They had been delivered to Mr. Bresse as an individual and he had turned them over to their attorney. This closed the inquiry of the day. TUITION WILL BE FREE. Fifteenth Annual Session of the Even- ing Educational Department of the Y. M. C. A. Will Open Soon.

A Country as Good for Sheep and Cattle Raising as the State of Montana. F. E. Bowers of Tulare, who has spent five months in hunting for gold in the country about Turnagain Arm, Cooks Inlet, is at the Brooklyn. He has re- turned bronzed, with a long beard and with littie gold, yet he thinka well of the country for some purposes. Even as a gold country he is not ready to discount it, for though he was not suc- cessful he saw many who were. Itisasa grass and livestock country, however, that he particularly commends it. ’ “I call it as good a country as Mon- tana,” said he, *‘and as things are now it is the greatest grass country I know of. There are thousands and thousands of acres of magnificent grass all over the re- gion where I have been this summer. ““Take it on the Keni, Kenik and Sushit- na rivers, and stretching away for miles and miles are waving meadows of the fin- est redtop you ever saw. Everybody knows what rediop'is. Well, there you have it in profusion. The grassis thick and as fine as any that ever grew, and is as tall as your head. ““It is a grass with fine nutritious blades. Eaten green it makes magnificent beef and mutton, and cut and fed as hay it makes livestock rolling fat. One thing about the valleys of these rivers, too, is that youcan runa mowing machine all over them. There are no hummocks to obsiruct the cutter-bar of the machine. “‘But livestock up there don’t need much hay. It is no worse climate than Mon- tana, where cattle roam about substan- tially each winter without hay, and where they depend nearly entirely on the dry wild grass. In the future that region is destined to become a great cattle country. ‘I suppose, however, Kadiak [sland will become the center of the cattle and sheep growing interests. When we came down there the cattle, horses and such other stock as they had were hog fat—all off the grass that grew all_around there. This island is about ninety miles wide by 150 long. That country is great for sheep. Some day Alaska will be known as the best livestock country we have.” —_———————— NEW 1RIAL GRANTED. A Convicted Forger From New York Is Given a Chance to Clear Himself. The Supreme Court yesterday granted a new trial to Alonzo J. Whiteman, the man from New York recently convicted of passing a forged check on the Bank of California. During the trial several forged checks were introduced i evidence to prove that Whiteman was a swindler and a forger. It was not, however, specifically proved that the papers introduced were forgeries, nor that the defendant had passed them. 3 In the ?udzmont of the Supreme Court the admission of these checks was an injustice to the defendant.

NEW CHINESE PROBLEM Collector Wise Qonfronted With a Novel Point Concerning a Certificate of Residence. Collector Wise has been confronted with avery novel pvint in the matter of Chi- nese rezistration. Some months ago one Cbow Yung of Butte, Mont., informed the Collector that he intended to visit his native land, and desiring to return to the country of his adoption requested a cer- tificate of residence. Before the case could be fully investigated Yung sailed for his nstive heath, leaving his certificate,which had been passed upon favorably. Now, however, the Celestial desires to return to this country and has requested that the broper papers be delivered to him. These, it seems, have been destroyed, and the Collector refuses to issue uplicates on the ground that the Monuol forfeited his right 1o return to. America when he sailed away without the originals. Yung is ex- pected on the next steamer and will, of course, be refused a landing. If he should appeal from Mr. Wise’s decision the oui- come will be looked forward to with some t the Enormous Wild Meadows on and Other Rivers. by a “Call” artist.] interest, as it is the first case of the kind on record. = 4 ———— - KITEs 1IN 1nk CLOUDS. Weather Prophet Hammon Unfortunate in His Experiments. Weather Prophet Hammon had hard luck with his kite-fiying yesterday. The threatening aspect of the weather and the high wind that prevailed on the surface of the earth and at an elevation, as indicated by the movements of the clouds, cansed the forecaster to desire to send his kites aloft for further information as to atmos- pheric conditions, wind, velocity, etc. From the top of the Mills building he sent up four large kites, tandem, on a fine piano wire. The highest attained an ele- vation of 4500 feet and 33 degrees, while over 7500 feet of wire was let out. The upper atmosphere was so charged with electricity that the attendants were | obliged to ground the kite wire on a water-pipe. W, en the time arrived for taking in the kites the effort proved disas- trous, for all broke away, after entanglin the lines on chimneys and flagpoles, only 1wo were recovered.

Crematory and Other Necessary Ap- paratus to Be Erected in a Short Time. The articles of incorporation of the Bani- tary Reduction Works of San Francisco have been filed. The purpose for which it was formed is to do all imposed in F. E. Shaion as grantee of an order passed by the Supervisors February 17, 1898, by which he was given the sole privi- lege to cremate garbage, house refuse, dead anlmals and other effete matter; to dispose of the same; to acquire and sell real estate; to own and erect crematories and reduction works; to manufacture and se]l grease, fat, glue, fertilizers, glass, brick, bone meal and bone charcoal; to deal in hides, peltsand hair, and generally to conduct a mercantile” business in con- nection with crematories and reduction ‘works. The articles of incorporation® specify that the place of business shall be in the City and County of San Francisco and that the corporation shall have an exist. ence of fifty years. The nine directors for the first year are as follows: F. E. Sharon, ex-Mayor El- lert, Henry H. Lynch, superintendent of construction of the Market-street Ca- ble Company; J. O'Brien Gunn, secretary of the Union Iron Works; Henry Wads- worth, cashier of Wells, Fargo & Co.’s bank: Andrea Sbarboro, president of the Italian Swiss Colony; Ur. Joseph Pescia, ex-Supervisor and Italian Consul; Paul Barbieri and Pietro C. Rossi. The amount of capital subscribed is $1,000,000, divided into 100,000 shares at $10 each. The amount actually subseribed is 450 shares, each director subscribing five. Only alimited amount of stock will be placed on the market, as the incorpur- ators will keep the rest, The company will erect a crematory at once, and in a very short time witl put up extensive reduction works, the site of which will probably be in the vicinity of the present dumps. Ellert has been elected president and general manager of the company, and will go East immediately to inspect the works in other cities. Sbar- boro tias been elected secretary. Under the Sbaron franchise this City will receive about $7000 a year, or $350,000 for the term of the franchise. This is cal- culated on the present population. Any- way, the financial and sanitary beneiit will be extensive. 5 b As the garbage increases the income of the City will grow larger, as it gets a fixed percentage of the gross income of the com- pany. The present dumpy, it 1s a notori- ous fact, have been a disgrace for years, breeding microves and every sortof dis- ease germs. All the bad smells arising :?nnt‘h:h;:? will be ggne away with, it is ently expected, as so crematories are Rxma. i e ———— L Soclalist Wagon Tour.
