8- THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1896 o WILL NEVER * MARRY A" Mrs. Oelrichs Says These Were Mr. Fair's Last Words to Her.: WAS A HOBBY WITH HIM Wanted His Children to Have All of His Prop- erty. WHAT *“MIGET HAVE BEEN” Would Have Married and Been Happy but for This Consideration on Their Behalf. Mrs. Herman Oelrichs was under a fire of questiohs from Attorney F. 8. Brittain, acting for Mr. Delmas, yesterday in the said so on every occasion that I saw him.” ‘How olten was that?” “Very often during a veriod of ten years.'” 4 “Did yonr father ever write to you mak- ing the statement that he would never marry on account of you, your sister and brother?”’ * *Very often.” “Have you retained those letters?"” :4No; I have destroyed them all.” “He 'frequently wrote such letters?” “Yes, it seemed to be a hobby with him; it.seemed to be always on bis mind.” ““Where did this conversation take place bétween your father and yourself that you speak of 2 . ““At the Lick House.” “4Vill you be good enough to detail all of the conversation that passed between you of that time?” “The conversation, exgept for that state- ment, was upon private matters that 1 Wwill not repeat here.” “Were vou upon friendly terms with yoar father at that time and until the time of his death?”’ ““Yes."”” -“You said you destroyed all the letters ‘| from your father, did you not?” “I said I destroyed the letters you spoke of—not all the letters from my father.” “Did you receive .a letter from your father about November, 1894, in which he said he would not live long, and that it would be better for all parties if he would ie?"” “No, sir; I did not. I never received such a letter.” “Did not Russell J. Wilson say to vou on or about the day that you withdrew your petition for the probate of the will of the 24th of September that it was his be- lief that it was the genuine wiil and that it would be probated by Mr. Delmas on behalf of Marc Levineston 2" Objected to as an effort to draw out pri- vate conversations of the witness with counsel. The witness was asked if she had been visited by a newspaper man during the | above suggested, it shall be used ina WANT 70 OPEN MORTON STREET Property-Owners on That By-Place Have a New Scheme. PETITION SUPERVISORS. The Dens Are to Be Reoccp- pied Under the Guise of Lodging-Houses. SEEMLY CONDUCT PROMISED. Folsom Street to Be Paved From Third to the Water Front. Under the pretense that the long-closed dens on Morton street are to be used as lodging-houses, an effort is on foot to open the street again, and asa prelim- inary the Board of Supervisors has been asked to discontinue the police surveil- lance that has resulted in making the former habitues of the dens seek other quarters. Though the petitioners—the property- owners—promise everything in the way of order and decency, the fact that they de- sire the police cailed off first is signifi- cant. The petition is as follows: This petition of the undersigned, owners of the property fronting on Morton street, be- tween Grant avenue and Stockton street, in the City and County of S8an Francisco, respect- | fully shows and represents: That by reason of the police snrveillance | now being exercised over said portion of Mor- ton street our property has become vacantand useless, and in some cases we have been obliged to cancel insurance thereon, the com- panies being unwilling to carry it. We desire to be able to use and have the property used as lodging houses and furnished Tooms, and if the police surveillance be with- we shall be able t0 50 let the propert: and we pledge ourselves jointly and severally that if permitted so to use the property = uie | and seemly manner; there shall be no solicitt. ing from the windows nor improper nor il decent behavior therein; peither will we al low or permit any behavior which shall be- offensive in any manner to the public use of seid portion of said street as & thoroughfare. The names of a large number of busi- ness men whose places are near the street are signed to the petition in addition to the property-owners. The South Side and Folsom-street Im- provement clubs petitioned the board to have the gas lamps on Folsom street from Third to Nineteenth replaced by sixteen electric lights, one at each crossing. It was represented that Folsom street is already lighted with electricity from Nine- teanth to Thirty-sixth, and that the City will save $125 per month by the change. The matter was referred to the Street Lights Committee. John Atkinson of 8t. Louis addressed a communication to the board stating that he had intended to remove to California with bis family, but hears that female MRS. HERMAN OELRICHS, Daug"ii_tct of the Late Senator James G. Fair, Giving Her Testimony. ejectment -suits of Craven against Fair - and Craven against Oeirichs. * The depositions took place hefore Notary - -Phillips in the Crocker building, the.first consuming all the morning and a ‘part of the afternoon. Miss Virginia Fair was to have followed Mrs. Oelrichs in the “first suit, but she being reported by her coun- sel” as indisposed, Mrs. Oelrichs followed + herself in the second suit over the same . ground she’had trodden or been led in the first. > indeed, almost all the testimony was .the same as that developed in the will case “: 'just 4 week ago. There was, however, a flutter of interest awakened when the witness in answer to a question as to her reason for her lack of .fdith 1n, the. marriage contract brought -forward by Mrs, Craven declared that the | last words her father ever Spoke to her were: “I will never marry again.” That . was in November, 1895. She also, later, touched -upon the rela- tionship—kindly and otherwise—that ex- isted between her father and herself, and said that while they, neither of them, wére ever very demonstrative in their ex- pressions of affection, the Senator was al- Y :aya & kind and affectionate father foward . ‘““Atthe time you entered into the con- tract with Mr. Dey had you heard’ of the marriage contract said to exist between your father and Mrs. Craven?’.asKed Mr. rittain. . “‘I do not remember.”” “Did you ever see the alleged contract?” “No, 1did not.” o ““Did you of it?"” “No.” . “If such a document is in -existence, ever see a photographic copy = ‘have you any beliefas to its genuineness?”’ I would not believe it to be genuine. ., “Off what doyou base your disbelief?'’ 4 do not believe my iather was married. He has told me that he was not married.” “Did. your father at any time within three or four yearsof his death speak as 1o the possibility of his ever marrying?”’ ‘‘He never spoke of the possibiiity of it. He often said he never would on our ac- count—on account of his children He said that the vexg last time I saw him— the day I went East, in November, 1. and when I was on my way to the beat. He said that he might have married and been very happy, but that he did not be- cause he wunpg everything he had to go to us. The very last words he said to me were, ‘I am not married.””” *‘Can you identify any other occasion on wh,h;’ he said that he would never ] cannot "pecily any occasion, but hn] TaE King past day or so concerning the whereabonts of J. H. Cassanova. She said she had not —she did not know Mr. Cassanova. “Do you know the value of the property at Eleventh and Mission streets, in con- test in this action?” “No, I do not.”. “Do you know what rents accrue from it?” “No, [ donot.” . This ended the deposition of Craven against Fair. Mrs. Oelrichs was then sworn for the taking of her deposition in the twin suit of Craven against Oelrichs—the suit in ejectment for the recovery by Mrs Craven of the property at Pine and Sansome streets. Mr. Wheeler suggested that the deposi- tion taken in the other case serve by stip- ulation, so far as it went at least, in this case. But Mr. Brittain said that without wishing to inconvenience the witness in any way he preferred to go on in the regu- lar way without regard to any other case. Accordingly careful inquiries were made as to her name, her residence, her relation- ship to the late Senator Fair, her travels in Europe, her stay at Newport and as to her visit here, as in the other case. She was asked as to the Richard V. Dey $300,000 contract and the alleged deeds in favor of Mrs. Craven. She said she had seen photographs of the alleged deed of the Sansome-atreet property. She declared she thought the deed a forgery; that all her counsel had advised her it was and that 1t.did not look like her father’s hand- writing. She was asked again as to the letters that passed, between herself and her father, and if the frequent letters which she said they wrote were affectionate as between father and daughter. ‘‘Neither of us were ever very demon- strative—we did not stop to put our affec- tion in our letters,” she said. *Did you stop to put anything in your letters of a contrary tone?’” “We did not.” ‘‘He was always a kind and affectionate father to you?”’ “Yes, sir.” The deposition here closed. That of Miss Virginia Fair will be begun this morning. a A L Court of Appeals to Convene. The United States Court of Appeals will con- vene mext Monday, with Judge Erskine M. Ross of Los Angeles, Judge William B. Gilbert of Oregon and Judge Thomss P. Hawley on the bench. Judges Ross and Gilbert have arrived, and Judge Hawley is expected - day. The present docket is badly crowded, Kzuny important cases being up for considera: on. ——————— of Pill’s is Beecham’s—BEECHAM'S. suffrage is to be voted for at the next elec- tion, and has decided to wait and see whether or not it will pass.

Shaw Will Make an Address at the Me- chanics’ Fair. cesspools, Kind Words for *The Call” From the Sole Surviving Sister of Henry Ward Beecher. Thursday of this week will be “Woman Suffrage Day” at the Mechanics’ Fair, In the evening at 8:30 o’clock Miss Anna H. Shaw will lecture in the art gallery and tell her hearers “How to Make California Rich.” A large number of prominent so- ciety people have signified their intention of being present. Miss Susan B. Anthony has just returned from a week of hard work in the interior. *They say woman's ‘physical disability’ should be a bar to her having the ballot,” said the veteran suffragist, *‘but I would like to see the man of my years who could pass the week I have just passed and still be ready and anxious for more work. But it has been a glorious week, none the less, and well worth the fatigue of incessant travel, public speaking and broken rest. “In Visalia and Hanford our ra were simply stupendous, with bonfires, rockets and other things that men like. As for the crowds, it was said that those which gathered to listen to Mr. Shortridge were no larger.”’ Mrs. Austin Sperry has received a letter from Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker, sole surviving sister of Henry Ward Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe. The lady, though upward of 76 years old, is an ardent and vigorous ~ woman-suffrage worker. In her letter she says: We have our annual State Suffrage Conven- tion early in October, and copies of your “Ob- jections Answered” would help us, especially if inclosed in envelopes with and stars showing the three States already crowned. Many 8 man in this city of Hartford, Conn., and of course many & woman, does hot know that the experiment of women voting has been tried for many years in Wyoming; and The Courant—Charies Dudley Warner's paper and Senator Joseph Hanley’s—doesn’t mean its subscribers shall know it if by any means they can still be kept in tgnorance. Oh, for such a CALL as yon have, and such an editor! Please send me a few items that pos- sibly may get into our newspapers, thougn they care little for such news. Reports of City and State workers are daily becoming more interesting and en- couraging. ————— To Rejoin Her Parents. Lillian Swaun, the young colored girl who was stolen from her parents in Washington, D. C., thirteen years ago, is now on her way home. Chief Crowley procured free transpor- tation for her to Chicago and defrayed the cost of taking her from there to Washington out of his own pocket. Detective Anthony accom- panied her to the Oakland mole yesterday, and saw her safely started on her journey. NEW TO-DAY. A.E.
