A. Smita Are Pefendants. ! For the first time in the history of police courts a charge of rout, which in The case of Thomas S. Williams Jr., | whom were instantly on their feet to in- terpose objections. | "Mr. Foole was the first to speak. He | said that it would be altogether irregular under indictment for libeling Judge Heb- | 8nd erroncous to admit the records ol all bard of the Superior Court, was on hear- ing before a jury in Judge Daingerfield’s court yesterday. The ever present circu- lar issued by Williams and other deposit- ors in the People’s Home Savings Bank was read and reread to the jury until it is believed that the majority of them must have committed it to memory, and a few of them ought to be able to repeat it from | beginning to end, even in their sleep. | The apparent intention of the defense to dispute due proof of ;the publication of the circular, which the defendant’s attor- | ney admitted to be in part probably libel- | ous if not true, was abandoned yesterday, and Attorney Crittenden Thornton, in his opening statement for the defendant, said he would attempt to prove justifica- tion. He said that the defense would prove as was never proved before the alle- gations in the circular, that wonld go to show that Juage Hebbard was actually an unfair man, and was unfit to hold the position of Judge; that the defense would ve that by his manner of giving out ial patronage to John F.Sheehan and James Alva Watt, the prosecuting | the People’s Home Savings Bank cases, { because nothing could be proved thereby except that Judge Hebbard had ap- pointed John F. Sheehan to certain posi- tions and that Sheehan had emplovea James Alva Watt as his attorney. Now the mere appointment of Sheehan and Watt to such positions did not imply moral turpitude on the part of Jud:e Hebbard, as was charged in the circular, unless it could be proved that Judge Hebbard bad a guilty knowledge of the alleged fact that Sheehan was incom- petent to act as the manager of the bank’s affairs, that he was a “‘parasite,” etc., and | that Wait was “notorious,” etc., and not a proper person to act as Sheehan's at- torney. He would assume in advance, Mr. Foote added, that the attorneys for the delense would promise to connect the evidence now offerea, with Judge Hebbard’s knowl- edee of Sheehan and Watt, later in the trial, or taey would consent to have it ail stricken out. This was the method some attorneys pursue in trying such a case as this; but Mr. Foote was convinced that 1t was not the proper course. He thought that the proof of Judge Hebbard’s knowl- edge of Sheehan’s unworthiness, if proof of such knowiedge exists, ought 10 be pro- duced first. Then the records in the witness here, Judge Hebbard, had shown himself to be unfair and an unfit person | to aspire to such an office as he wasseek- | ing when the circular was issued. ! Attorney Thornton read to the jury the | opening paragraph of the circular wherein it was alleged that *‘a sensational paper | had misrepresented the facts,’”” and as- sured the jurors that this allegation was not material, whether true or not, as it re- lated to a third party. Having thus d posed of the Examiner as an_ immaterial matter, the attorney proceeded. | Going on down the column of printed matter Mr. Thoruton read the statement that Judge Hebbard had promised to allow the board of directors of the People’s Home Savings Bask to meet for the purpose | of resigning, but that on the day follow- ing he changed his mind and refused to let them meet for any purpose whatever. This, M:r. Thornton said, was because | James Alva Watt, who with Jonn| F. Sheehan was the recipient of Judge | Hebbara’s patronage, opposed the ap- | pointment or recognition of any board of | directors that would not empiov him as seir attorney. He said that Watt, who | circular was described as ‘‘notori- ous,”” had such influence with Judge Heo- | bard that be and John F. Sheehan were sure of all the patronage in Judge Heb- bard’s court. In justification of the term ‘‘parasite,” lied to Jonn F. Sheehan, Mr. Thorn- d that in five years Sheehan has | not earned a dollar outside of what he re- ceived in consequence of appointments | made by Judge Hebbard, and that during that period Sheehan has been paid not less | than $20,000 on account of fees and emolu- ments unaer such appointments. This sum, he said, was almost equal to the salary received by Judge Hebbard him- seif as a member of the Superior Court of the City and County of San Francisco. When Mr. Thornion was about to quote from Webster’s Dictionary to prove that a parasite is one who dines with another, or who is supportea by another, and that significance has been twisted, Attorney W. W. Foote objected to argument by | counsel before the testimony was in. District_Attorney Barnes and Attorney Barclay Henley mixed ap in the dis-| cussion, but Mr. Thornton heid his ground, and finally Judge Daingerfield | permitted him to proceed in his own way | in presenting his views to the jury as to the facts that were essential to prove in | order to_establish justification of issuing the circular, Continuing his statement of facts that were to be proved Mr. Thornton said that when Judge Hebbard was the presiding | Judge of the Superior Court he allotted to himself all the cases pertaining to the Home Savings Bank, and invariably ap- pointed Sheehan to some position if ihere was _an opportunity to do so, even after the Supreme Court bad decided that he had no right to do so; that Sheehan was three times so appointed. After the Supreme Court had knocked out Sheehan as receiver of the People’s Home Savings Bank, Mr. Thornton said, James Alva Watt manipulated the stock in such a way that Sheehan was appoint- ed secretary and managerof the bank and ‘Watt was appointed his attorney. The securing of the majority of the stock was necessary to prevent the attempt to shake off the grip whici Sheehan and Watt had on the millions of the bank. In the Goldtree case against the bank, | Mr. Thornion said, which was brought by the procurement of these same men, the attorney who filed the suit never met his client, and knew nothing of the matter at the time. In that case Sheeban bad been appointed as receiver and Wait as attor- ney, as usugl, so that finally Watt was at- torney for the receiver and in three sepa- | rate cases, and was 2i1so attorney for ihe bank. Thus Sheehan, who was receiver in three suits against the bank, was at the same time manager of the bank, and ‘Watt was his attorney in all the cases, Sheehan. who occupied two_antagonistic positions, was backed up by Watt, his at- torney, who also occupied two antagonis- tic positions. In rezard to the allegation in the circu- lar that the receiver had been discharged by Judge Hebbard without a proper ac- counting, Mr. Thornton said 1t would be shown that no accounting whatever had been made then or since, and no docu- ment is on file which pretends to be an accounting of the millions that came into the hands of these men. The only attempt at an accounting, he said, was when James Alva Watt and lis brother, Rolla V. Watt, a member of the board of aireciors of the People's Home Savings Bank, appearad in court and said they were satisfied with Sheehan’s man- agement of the bank’s affairs. Thix, how- ever, was not a lawful accounting, and the circular had stated the strict trath in say- ing that no proper accounting had been demanded of Sheehan as receiver before he was discharged. The records of the bank would be appealed to in order to prove that Watt and Sheehen drew $500 a month from the defunct bank. Having thus clenrl'f stated what he ex- pected to prove, Mr. Thornton said the de- iense would not make an appeal to mercy, but would establish as facts all the ailega- tions of the circular in justification of the charge that Judge Hebbard was unfair and unfit to occupy a seat on the Superior Court bench. | thorough bank cases appear relevant they may be considered by the court and the jury. District Attorney Barnes re-enforced Mr. Foote’s argument with the usual statutory objection that the records in the bank cases are immaterial and incom- petent, because they do not tend to prove or disprove any of the issues of the cause on trial. Mr. Thornton responded by making the very offer that Mr. Foote said he would— namely, that he would consent to have the testimony adduced from the records in the bank cases s:ricken from the pres- ent trial if he and his associates failed to vrove Judge Hebbard’s knowledge of Sheehan’s acts and of his incompetency to manage the affairs of the great institution which had been intrusted to him by Judge Hebbard’s oflicial acts and solely by sanc- tion of Judge Hebbard’s judicial order. Judge Daingerfield looked up at the ceiling, as is his wont when about to rule on some knetty point, and remarked that he was not disposed 1o dictate to attorneys as to the order in which they presented the proofs that®hey deem material to their case, Before he could complete his ruling Judge Hebbard reached over and held a whispered consultation with Mr. Foote, who thereupon announced that at the re- quest of his client, the complaining wit- ness, he would withdraw ail objection to the introduction ot the records of the bank cases. He said that Judge Hebbard courted the widest and most scrutiny of his acts, and was willing to have ali the records that were deemed material in the slightest degree brought here for examination and analy- sis. Mr. Foote, however, reserved bhis right to move to strike out the records and all the evidence adauced from them un- less the attorneys on the other side were able to connect Judge Hebbard witha guilty knowledge of any unworthiness of Sheehan and Watt at the time of their appointment. Mr. Henley again adjusted his spectacles and at once plunged into the reading of the voluminous complaints, demurrers, cross-complaints, writs of certiorari, no- tices of appeal, certificates of appointment | of receivers, etc., until the jury became impatient, and an adjournment was taken until this morning, when the same thing will be kept up for another session. By to-morrow the taking of oral testimony will be commenced. R. H. McDonald Jr. is to be a witness in the case, and the odd thing is that both sides are said to have subpenaed him. REEL TERRY'S FIST. It Swung Dangerously Near Mr. Hey- neman’s Nose, but Didn’t Land. Attorney Reel 8. Terry struck at Attor- ney A. Heyneman in Judge Sanderson’s court yesterday morning, and for a mo- ment it looked as if a serious difficulty .would ensue, but it passed off without hurtful consequences. At the time of the renconter the dovo- sition of Mrs. Zalisky was being taken be- fore Court Commissioner Tyler, who sat near Judge Sanderson. Attorney Tyler had several times asked pointed questions of Mrs. Zalisky, who had been recently divorced from her hus- band. and whose husband in the present case is suing one George Newman for $50,000 damages for the alienation of the affection ot his wife, the witness on the stand. The questions touched upon the friendly relations whico Mr. Heynemzan assumed exist between Mr. Zalisky and his di- vorced wife, Mr. Heyneman attempting to prove that they have joined forces for the time being in order to get some money out of Neyman. & Mir. Terry objected to the questions, and his objections were several times sus- tained by the court, but Mr. Heyneman persistes in his icquiries, when Mr. Terry said he would have to complain to the court unless a dffereny mode of procedure was adopted by the attorney on the other side. To this Mr. Heyneman replied: “‘This is only a biackmailing suit, and Mr. Terry knows as well as any one that it is a black- mailing suit.” “What's that? Don’t you say that!” cried Mr. Terry and made a lunge at Mr. Heyneman, but his blow fell short, and vefore he could recover himselt to make another attack Bailiff McDonald sprang between the two men and stopped the dif- ficulty. 1n the foregoing statement of facts judge Sanderson, Clerk Dunlap ana Bailiff Mc- Donald agree. “I did not see any blow struck,” said Judge Sanderson. *‘The- attempt may have been made, but I didn't geeit. At any rate, it didn’t amount to anything, and I paid no attention to it. Certainly it caused no harsh feelings between Mr. Terry and Mr. Heyneman, for they were exceedingly friendly before and after tue incident.”” —_—————— Tarbox Will Be Retried.

[From a photograph by Thors.] FREEDOM FOR THE | FAIR MAXINE Miss Elliott Secures Divorce From Georgz McDermott. a Cruelty and Failure to Support Proved in Judge Sander- .sen's Court. Eecoming Attire cf the Fair Young Divorcee cn the Auspicious i Occasion. “My husband abused me terribly, be | really did, 'your Honor,’’ sobbed pretty | Miss Maxine Elliott in Judge Sanderson’s | court yesterday. i ‘The clock in the darkened corridor of | the new City Hall was just upon the | stroke of noon as this moving scene in the | close of a domestic drama was taking | place. Miss Elliott was trying to get ridof « husband who, she declared, was unworthy of the wealth of aflection that she had | showered upon him. In private life, she® explained, her name is Mrs. Jessie C. Mc- Dermott, and the name of her recreant ex-spouse is George A. McDermott. { Judge Sanderson begged the lady to | compose herself, and with an effort such as a heroine is supposed to make wken preparing for some dread ordeal, Mrs, | McDermott resumed control of the foun- taln of tears, and the trial proceeded. She was attired in a fetching gown of dark blue, with a light colored jacket cutin the latest style, and wore a big hat with wide-swaying plumes that noaded grace- fully as the fair plaintiff bent forward to pour her tale of woe into the ear of Judge | Sanderson. After telling of her marriage with the defendant, and referring gently to the first blissful years of her wedded tife, Mrs. McDermott related the circumstances which led to her separation from her hus- band. She said that h: neglected his business for the race course, and though he was an attorney with a fair income at the time of their marriage, he soon began todisplay a desire to liye without work- ing, and failed to support her. Disagree- | ment followed and he oiten abused her, using very harsh language almost con- stantly, aad sometimnes he struck her. In 1891 Mrs. McDermott left her hus- band and came to this City to reside with her father who is- & steamboat captain, and soon after began her career as an actress, in which she has been so success- ful that she is independent of the assist- ance of her husband. She said she thought she could continue to support herself if granted a divorce, and wonid not make any demand for alimony. “‘Have you ever made any effort to se- care a reconciliation?” asked Judge San- derson. “I have written to him,” replied the lady, somewhat evasively. “Did you receive any reply?"’ continued the court. I have not.” The conrt appeared satisfied, and Miss Gertrude Elliott, sister of the plaintiff and also an actress, was introduced as a wit- ness. Miss Gertrude corroborated the tes. timony of Mrs. McDermott in regard to her residence in this State. Miss Isabelle Haskins, actress, was next called. Her appearance attracted the at- tention of those present in ccurt even more than did the principal participator in the piece at that instant on the boards, for it was conceded on all sides that Miss Haskins was the handsomest young woman who had been in the new City Hall for many a long day. Miss Haskins’ tesumony was very brief. She knew Mr. and Mrs. McDermott in New York City and knew that they had a great desl of irouble. After one of their quarrels she saw that Mrs. McDermott’s arm was bruised and discolored by a vlow. “Let a decree ol divorce be granted,” said Judge Sanderson, and - Mrs. McDer- mott, known to the world of theater- lovers as Maxine Elliott, swept from the room free from the shackles of matri- mony. A LOVESIUK LABORER. William Slightman :wallows a Dose of Muriatic Acid. William Slightman, 807 Kearny street, until 2 month ago worked on a ranch in Stanislaus County. He came to the City and fell in love with Lola Smith, a waitress in a saioon at 636 Sacramento street. A few d.lyn ago he took a trip to the l country in search of work and returned Monday. He called upon Lola yesterday afternoon and was received with coldness. He tried to cet her fo resume tneir former relations, and when she declined he went to the sidewalk and swallowed a dose of muriatic acid. He was sent to the Re- ceiving Hospital in the patrol wagon. where the usual remedies were adminis- tered and he was soon pronounced out of danger, He says that he will not give up Lola, and if she will marry him he will take her to the country and lead a happy life. He is 25 years of uge. . CORPUS DELICTIL. John Collins’ Attorney Says It Not Been Proved and Asks for a Discharge. The trial of John Collins, charged with the murder of Margaret Crowley, began in Judge Wallace’s court yesterday. Kitty Crowley, John Crowley, Edward F. Ward and Timorby Crowley testified that Col lins kicked the woman and broke her thigh. Subsequently she died and Collins was charged with murder. They conld not swear when Collins kicked the woman. r. E. A. Knott and Dr. J. 8. Barrett testified that Mrs, Crowiey died of peri- tonitis. Dr. Barrett said that if the woman had been kicked in the abdomen herdeath might have resulted from such an injury, as it might have superinduced the peri- tonitis which contident that a Kkick on the thigh would not have superinduced an attack of peri- tonitis. Coiliny’ attorney contended that it hail not been shown that Mrs. Crowley diea from the effect of the kick administered by Collins, and as the corpus delicti had not been proved he moved the court to in- struct the jury to acquit the defendant. Judge Wallace said he was not willing to take such action without hearing fur- ther testimouny, and so the case was con- tinued until this morning for the purpose of recailing Dr. Barrett, concerning whose testimony there appeared to be some con- tention among the attorneys. CHARGES DISMISSED, Inspectors Dockery and Davis of the Board of Health Are Cleared by Their Superiors. As was expected the attorneys em- ployed to prosecute the charges against Inspectors Dockery and Davis, who are accused of conspiring to blackmail dairy- men, did not appear at a special meeting of the Board of Health, which was called yesterday to hear the matter. Ata meeting held recently Dr. Morse moved that the charges be dismissed, be- cause they were “incoherent and vague,”’ but such action was postponed on the strenuous objection of Attorneys Estee and Rothchild. The attorneys mentioned apparently anticipated that the boara would white- wash the inspectors, for they filed a com- plaint embodying tke original charges, in the Superior Court, asking that Dockery be ousted from his office: ~As neither Messrs. Estee nor Rothchild appeared vesterday the board dismissed the charges summarily. et DEFEAT FOR A. M. DAVIS. Dupont-Street Bona Suit Decided in Favor of the Clty. The Supreme Court has affirmed the judgment from which Andrew M. Davis appealed in his suit against the City and County of San Francisco. The action was to recover from the City and County, un- aer the provisions of section 3819 of the Political Code, certain alieged taxes averred to have been paid by appellant under protest. Concerning this claim the court says, in the opinion which was handed down yes- terday by Junstice McFarland, Justices Henshaw and Temple concurring: “‘But the alleged taxes wers, in fact, founded upon special assessments for a specific purpose under an act of the Legis- lature approved March 23, 1876, generaily known as ‘the Dupont - street act,’ to which the said section 8819 of the Political Code does not apply, and for which no action can be maintained against said City and County, *“Tuis was expressly decided by this court in Easterbrook vs. the City and County of San Francisco, and upon the authority of that case the judgment in the case at bar must be affirmed. 1t is proper to state that the Easterbrook case had not been decided when this appeal was taken or when the briefs in this case were filed.” ——————— - United States Grand Jury.

The case for the prosecution is in effect that Montenegro and Smith on August 29 went 0 A. E. Cunnington and Ed Kihl, two waiters, and offered them $5 each to go to the Cafe Royal, Fourth and Market street, that night. They were to join in a game of poker, and during the progress of the game were to quarrel with the other players, kick over the table, fire off a pistol and raise a general disturbance, so as to bring the Cale Royal into disrepute. Cunnington and Kihl, after considering the matter, decided not to engage in the conspiracy. They went, however, to the place that night, but merely walked | through it, Montenegro and Smith then got George Field and anothér man to do the work. They went to the Cafe Royal the follow- ing night, August30, and carried out their insiructions 10 the letter. Field was ar- rested for carrying a concealed weapon, and on September 28 was sentenced {0 pay a iine ot $50 or «pend fifty days in the | County Jail. He got out on an appeal | without giving bonds, but was arrested by ! Datectives Dillon and Crockelt and has | since served his time. Tre tacts enme to the knowledge of the | proprietor of the Cafe Royal, who con- suited Proseculing Attorney Dare, and the result was the arrest of Montenegro and Smith on the charge of roat. The defendants had demanded a jury | trial and yesterday afternoon tbe jurors | were in court. Cunnington was present but Kinl failed to put_in an appearance. Prosecuting Attorney Dare and Attorney Ach, who appeared in the case for the prosecution, got certain information from Cunnington and he wus promptly placed on the witness-stand. He testified that Montenegro had come ticket to take him into the country, but he bad refused to 1ake either. He sup- vosed that Kinl had been approached in the same way and that was why he was | not present in conrt. Prosecuting Attorney Dare contended | that if the statement of Cunnington were true, and there was no reason to doubt it, Montenegro had been guilty of contempt of court, if not a felony, in tampering with witnesses for the prosecution and he asked that the Judge should take cog- nizance of the fact and make a full inves- tigation. The Judge ordered Montenegro to ap- pear before him Monday afternoon to show cause why he should not be com- mitted for contempt. | The rout cases were by consent con- tinued till December 9, when a new jury will be impaneled.

To bring this about Mr. Carlisle of- fered to supply a sufficient number of birds to give a complete service, and Mr. Reinhardt saw the advantage of it at once.

Frederick D. Stevens, a bookkeeper for Fredericks & Co., furniture-dealers, died yesterday morning at his home 2726 How- ard street. The case was reported to the Coroner for investigation.

His injuries were such that he had to be conveyel home, wihere be lay unconscious and ultimately died. Deceased was a native Californian, 24 yeare of age. ———————— PERJURY IS CHARGED. F¥red Baaser -Ordered Into Custody by Sudge Joachimsen. Fred' Baaser, a saloon-keeper on the San Bruno road and Army street, was ordered into custpdy yesterday by Judge Joachimsen on a charge of perjury. Last Friday Baeser had a row with his father-in-law, John Kidney, an ex-lieu- tenant in Coxey's arm. The old man was drunk and because Baaser refused to give him more lignor he drew a knife and threatened to kill Baaser. Baaser to pro- tect himseif hit the old man on the iace |and head with a bung-starier. Baaser ‘wa: rested for battery and Kidney for threats against life and for being a common drunkard. Monday when the cases came up for hearing Baaser swore that Kidney had not threatened his !ife and alsc denied hitting him with the bung-starter, alleging that Kidney lell against the bar and injured himseif. The cases were dismissed, but when the facis were related to_the Judge yesterday morning he ordered Baaser into custody. Plays R — The Pool-Selling Ordinance. ‘When the case of George F.
