14 ARE PROVING THEIR T AGHINST JUDGE HEBBARD Evidence Introduced to Show That He Broke His Word to the Depositors’ Committee of the People’s Bank. An Important Meeting That Was Held in Judge Heb- bard’s Chambers. A UNION LEAGUE INCIDENT. Samuel M. Shortridge Denounces the Examiner as a Disgrace to Civilization. There was an interesting session in ‘the Thomas T. H. McCarthy was the first witness. Ie signed the circular which caused the indictment of the defendant Williams, and is also under indictment for libel on the same charge. 8. Williams Jibel case before a | jury in Judge Daingerfield’s court yaster- Foote suggested,.was to try to prove the truth of the charges contained “in‘the ecir- cular, not-to prove that thé defendants in this case and their associates had metand ' ad o pted certain defamatory resolutions. Mr. Henley—We wish 'to prove that what is alleged in the circular did actually take place.

Mr. Foote—It fits the case entirely, your | Honor. Itisnotan unfortunate word at ;all. I have my opinion about this. | " Mr. Henley—If your opiniori comforts you any you are entitled to it. Mr. McCarthy was. finally allowed to | same | | board ? Z e *There had been an injunction granted May, 1894, he received letters in the form of affidavits from Dr. J. Boushay, H, T. Graves and A. L. Jenkins offering to re- sign if certain contingencies were com- plied with. . 3 g © Attorney Thornton said he offered in evidence the affidavits just mentioned. The reupon Mf. Thornton read the vol- umin ous corréspondence that finally led to the resignatjon of the McDonald board of directors, Dr. Boushay taking the ini- tiative in withdrawing from the manage- ment. At the afternoon session C. H. Duns- muir, secretary of the Bank Commission- ers, produced a letter from the Attorney- General in regard to the allegation that Receiver Jehn F. Sheehan had no right to accept compensation for his services as receiver,.but the court ruled that it was not proper to introduce the opinion of the Attorney-General and Mr, Dunsmuir was withdrawn. Samuel M. Shortrid ge testified that the firm of Delmas & Shortridge had been -re- | tained and employed by the bank corpo- ration to serve as its attorneys and coun- sel. The witness told of a meeting in Judge Hebbard’s chambers in which At- torney Hutton, Mr. Delmas, Mr. Mec- Carthy, Judge Hebbard and the witness were present. That was before the motion to ~modify the injunction was made in open court. = “What was said,” asked Mr. Henley, “4n respect to the proposed modification of the injunction in order to permit cer- tain directors to resign and reorganize the by Judge Hebbard,” replied Mr. -Short- ridge, ‘‘a sweeping injunction restraining:| ‘and enjoining this board of directors from -taking- any steps or doing ary act as the board of directors of thut corporation. As a result of that this interview or meeting | took place to which your question is ad-| dressed. The question there was as to modifying this general injunction so as to vermit the old board of directors to meet and resign one by one—to rotate a new board of directors into office. Ihe parties 1 hayve named, as Irecall them, were there, and Mr. McCarthy representing, as he was proceed and testified that the committee ~treated and as I understood, the commit- SUPERIOR JUDGE W. R. O DAINGERFIELD, Who I; Presiding Over the Trial of the Williams Libel Case. Mr. McCarthy gave a history of the court proceedings in the defunct People’s Home Savings Bank litigation, which led him to believe that Judge Hebbard was an unfair and improper person to occupy a seat on the bench ef the Superior Court. | He signed the circular which cast re- | flections on Judge Hebbard, and alleged that in managing the affairs of the Peo- ple’s Home Savings Bank Judge Heb- bard had been influenced by Attorney James Alva Watt and John F. Sheehan. In explanation of his*course in signing the circalar Mr. McCarthy, whose wife was one of the depositors in the defunct bank, said that he had called on Judge Hebbard for the purpose of having a good board of directors appeinted; but was not successtul. _Attorney Henley attempted to ascertain from Mr. McCarthy the proceedings of the meeting at which a committee was appointed to look after the interests of the depositors in the bank. It was under- stood that ceriain resolutions were adopted ar that meeting denouncing Judge Hebbard for hisacts in the manage- ment of the bank’s affairs. E Attorney Foote objected to questions of this character. He said that such testi mony would be in the nature of hearsay. It was not permissible or lawful to ailow | a lot of hostile persons to meet and adopt fesolutions condemning a public officer, and then, when they are sued criminally | or for damages, to plead in justification that guch resolutions were passed. The thing for the defense to do, Mr. NEW TO-DAY. ‘COVERED When I was thirteen years old T began to have sore eyes and ears, and from my ears epread.

Hutton called upon Judge Hebbard and told him of the | willingness of four directors to resign if he | would modify his injuaction for the pur- pose of allowing them to meet for the pur- pose of resignins. They named four good | men to take the place of the four objec- tionable men on the McDonald board. He said that Judge Hebbard agreed to let the old board meet in his chambers for the purpose of making the change, but that he cid not fulfill his promise Mr. McCarthy.said that before he and Mr. Hutton left Judge Hebbard’s cham- bers D. M. Delmas and Samuel M. Short- rdee, at that time attorneys for the Peo- ple’s Home Savings Bank, entered the chambers and Judge Hebbard repeated to them that he had consented to allow the old board to meet for the purpose of re- signing. | One or two days later Mr. McCarthy said that he saw James Alva Watt, at that time attorney for J. F. Sheenhan, the receiver for the bank, at the office of Mr. Hntton, out the conversation with Mr. Watt, an objection was interposed by Mr. Foote. Judge Daingerfield said that he would exclude this class of testimony for the | present, but would admit it subsequently | 1t prima facie proof is offered that Judge | Hebbard had any knowledge of Mr. ‘Watt’s wishes, if he had any. An exception to this ruling was noted by the defense, X ‘Witness McCarthy continued by stating that he called on Judge Hebbard, and asked” him to set a time when the two boards could meet to carry out the pro- posed change, and that Judge Hebbard said he had changed his mind and baa decided not to allow the meeting, but made no explanation of his position in that matter. He caid that subsequently Attorney D. M. Deimas, in open court, had taxed Mr. Hebbard with breaking his promise; that Judge Hebbard denied it, and that wuen Mr. Delmas challenged him to the proof that Judge Hebbard pounded with his fist on his desk and de- 1 ciared that he wouid not allow the meet- | ing as requested. | "Mr. Fcote c'osely questioned the wit- | ness touching the occurrences in Judge Hebbard’s court and the other matters pertaining to the voluminous legislation in which the bank became involved. It appeared to be Mr, Foote’s idea to prove that the alleged libelous circalar was un- true in stating that the Supreme Court overruled Judge Hebbard’s action in ap- pointing John F. Sheenan as receiver. In reply 10 & question on this point Mr. McCarthy saia: *I understood that the order of the Supreme Court was a reversal of Judge Hebbard’s order appointing John F. 8heehan receiver for the bank.” Judge J. C. B. Hebbard was at this point called as a witness for the defense. He t>-iified that he was the vrosecuting wit- | vess in the case now pending, and that in When Mr. Henley attempted to bring | secured the consent of four of the McDon- | tee of depositors and Mr. Hutton, the ate torney. On the other side, there were Mr. Delmas and myself, technically represent- ing the old board of directors. The ques- tion came up as to the power of the court to make such a sweeping injunction, and I believe I stated that the court had no such power, and that these men-might safely meet for that purpose and resign, but they didn’t desire to do so. They had good reasons for not desiring to do so.” Mr. Foote moved to strike out the last senfence. ““Were the reasons stated there at that time?” asked Mr. Henley. “I know that they were stated by Mr. Delmas,” replied the witness. “He ex- plained that the committee of depositors bad been demanding that this board of directors resign and had threatened them with all sorts of. ortunes if they did not meet and resign, but that on the other hand this injunction stood in the way of their meeting, and they were probably in- curring the danger of contempt proceed- ings if they did meet and resign, and Mr, Delmas pointed out the dilomma in which they were. The upshot of the matter was that Judge Hebbard said he would not vermit them to meet and select whomso- ever they saw fit. “The subject of the conversation then turned on how they could agree on a new board, and the talk ran along until it was understood and so stated that if the de- positors’ committee could agree that the old board of directors should appointa new board, in that event the court would modify the injunction to the extent that the board mignt meet and one by one re- sign and induct new members into office.”” Mr. Henley asked whether the names of any of the proposed new directors were suggested and Mr. Shortridge replied: **Whether at that counversation they were nafned I am not positive. It is probable that the names of some were suggested by the depositors’ commiltee, but [ am not clear on'that point. I think B. P. Flint’s of the Qlympic Ciub was men- tioned later on, and it might have been mentioned there at that time.” “Do you remember the name of Dr. Logan having been mentioned?”’ asked Mr. Henley. ““The name I know was discussed as a proposed director,” said Mr. Shortridge. “I think it was suggested by the deposit- ors’ committee. 1don’t recall whether it was mentioned at that interview. I think something was said there as to the mem- bers of the old board baving been inter- viewed and having consented to resign.” The witness then proceeded (o relate how he met Jndge Hebbard in the Union League Club on that evening or a Jitile later. The subject of modifying the injunction came up. While they were taiking James Alva Watt approached and took partin the conversation. The wit- ness showed Judge Hebbard the list of names of proposed direetors as agreed upon between the deposiiors’ committee and the old board. Among the names were those of Mr. McDonnell, a druggist ox DECEMBER 1, 1896 - The Gasoline Launches ‘Amy and._A&hlcte .Crossing the Fin ; Around Goat Island.” The Amy Won by " About Ten Silovich of the Vigilant- Was Starter and Referee. ish.

O’Farrell, then in the real estate businesson Montgomery street. “‘When_they finally agreed on Mr. Flint, I don’t recollect,”” said Mr. Short- ridge. “Mr. Wilson, cashier or account- ant with Wells, Fargo &. Co., was men- tioned, and, I think the name of Dr. Lo- gan, though I am not sure as to him. There had been this understanding which we regarded as an agreement that if the old board could agree with the depositors’ committee represented at that interview by Messrs. Hutton and McCarthy, the in- junction would be medified so as to per- mit the old board to meet and resign and elect their successors. -1 met Judge Hebbard in the Union League Club rooms purely by accident, and 1 told him in substance what we had done. While we were talking Mr. Watt came up and asked me if there was anything pri- vate about our conversation, and I said that there was not. We told Mr. Wattthe subject of the conversation and he joined init. I had a list of those names on thé back of an envelope, and Mr. Watt asked whether I-had any objection o giving him the list. I t6id kim that I had not, and I read off the namesand Mr. Watt took a pencil and wrote them down. Then- | Judge Hebbard moved off toward a screen that stood there at that time.” J The witaess then reiated what occurred in Judge.Hebbard’s court on June 11. Mr. Delmas, on the opening of court, very briefly recounted the unhappy condition of aftairs, the entanglements and so forth, and announced that be was happy to be able to say that these differences had been settled, and that in conformity with the | agreement had with the court, the deposi- tors'* committee - and the * old board of directors in Mr. Shortridge’s pri- vate oflice they had agreed “upon a new board of “directors. . He said that he and all- parties represented in the litigation were present. Mr. Delmas was on the point of announcing the names of the new directors when a collaquy took place be- tween him and Judge Hebbard. In the meantime, Mr. Hutton of the depositors’ |- committee had-arisen and stated the same facts. 3 2 On that occasion Judge Hebbard said that there seemed to be some discontent on the part of someé depositors, and he took out of his pocket what appeared to be a letter, and stated what some of its contents were, which were to the effect that some depositors were not satisfied with the new board. Judge Hebbard said he didn’t propose to sign- the order.- Mr. Délmas thereupon restated the proposi- uom. He called attention to the fact that both. parties in interest were present, both seeking to have the injunction modified only'to the extent named. Then-Judge Hebbard repudiated and denied the facts of the interview in his chambers, and Mr, Delmas offered to call witnesses to prove that this matter had been agreed upon in the Judge’s chamber, but Judge Hebbard told him to be seated. So the matter went .over and the order was not signed. Mr, Shortridge went on to say, in reply to a question by Mr. Henley as to whether Judge Hebbard did not strike the desk-| with his fist and show temper in which | condition Judges should not be, that he seemed to be angry. The witness did not remember whether Judge Hebbard struck the desk with his fist or not, but said that the Judge seemed to be very angry. 7 On the cross-examination by Mr. Foote the witness said that he had been counsel for Richard H. McDonald on two or three occasions. The witness remembered that at-one of the meetings in court Mr. High- ton appeared, representing two of the old board. He had a proposition to select a large number of citizens and taxpayers and by some kind of an arrangement drawing a new board from them. Mr. Foote asked whether the witness had not drawn $2500 from the bank as the fee of Delmas & nhortridge in the cose. Mr. Henley objected te thisline of exam- ination as irrelevant and not cross-exami- nation. “] am not undertaking to cast any im- putation cn Mr. Shortridge,” said Mr. Foote, “but I want to know if the firm of Delmas & Snhortridge drew some money out of the bank afier Mr. Sheehan’s ap- pointment and before he qualified.” Mr. Shortridge, potwithstanding the objection of the counsel for the defense, proceeded to explain the circumstances. He said: “It was not done with a knowledge of the issuance of the injunc- tion or of the order. We did get a portion of thefee that was due us from the bank. To gratify Mr. Foote's curicsity I will tell him that it was stated and misrepresented by an infamous newspaper in this town that is a disgrace to San Francisco, Yo the State of California aud to civilization, as everybody knows.” Mr. Foote interrupted the witness at this point and objected to any remarks about newspapers, “The matter is on the records of the bank. I presume you have a transcript of the books in your possession,’” continued the witness. “You had a contract with the directors of that bank as to your fee?'’ asked Mr. Henley. *Yes,”” was the reply. 2 Mr: Henley objected to the questions on this subject. I am not here to make any explana- tion,” continued the witness, ‘‘because thereis nothing that calls for explanation, but if it is material for counsel or the jury in this caseto know anything about it I am willing to state all the facts.” Mr. Foote objected to any statements by the witness on that subject. “I wish to go on with tbis matter a little further,”’ continued Mr. Shortridge. “I object,” said Mr. Foote. *“The questions you.proponnded to me,” continued the wiiness, ‘‘are susceptible of a wrong impression.” ; ! “1 don’t place that interpretation upon them,” said Mr. Foote. = “I do not wish to be further misrepre- sented by an infamous ana lying news- paper,'aud I shall not stand it. I want no wrong inferences drawn from your ques- tions, Mr. Foote,” said Mr. Shortridge. The court remarked that there was no occasion to go into any explanation. The records snhowed all the facts and every- thing was plain, so there was no necessity for the witness to explain. The court adjourned until 10 A. . to-day. After the adjournment of eourt Mr. Shortridee was asked as to the identity of the newspaper which he characterized as a disgrace 10 San Francisco and to civiliza- tion, and he replied : +‘The Examiner is the paper to which I alluded.

Uncle Sam Is Hunling Up Sealing -Captains to Serve as Witnesses in Selz»ure_Cnses., H The question as to who owns-the smart-" est gasoline launch in the“bay is still in doubt.

Amy bed: ‘the erack by ten lengths last evening the ques- tion has been reopened... Hitherto the class in the ‘bay, and very few ‘of the fast steam launches. could hold their own with her, consequently when Mr. Knight is out for pleasure he always wears a min- iature rooster in his button- hole and is ready for a brush with-anything in "the bay. Only afew days ago he was racing one of the Pacific - Coast Steamship Com- pany’s smaller boats and was easily beat- ing her. The noted-attorney put’his head out of the window-to offer the captain of aboard that washed.him into the engine- room and nearly swamped .the Athlete. By good seamanship Mr. Knight got his boat about and gave up racing for that | day. e o A = ‘Yvhnrlev" Peterson is “ship’s husband”’ on the Athiete and Henry Peterson is the owner of the Amy. Many a time the former has-beaten-the latter, but then the Amy was never pushed. “blowing” about his boat and dared Cap- tain Wilson of the.Amy to race. The lat- ter took him up and Henry*Peterson went in his boat and Attorney Knight in his to see fair play. The start was from the Foisom-street steps and Captain Silovich of the tug Vigilant wias refere- and judge. The course was aronund Goat Island and during the first half of the journey there was not five feet between the two vessels. Rounding the island it was still nip and tuek, but on the home run the Amy gained a slight advantage and finally reached Folsom-street wharf again aoout lengths in front of-her adversary. The tug Vigilant and the wirarf were crowded with sightseers and. three hearty cheers were given for the winner,_as she moved up to her mooring lines. Both lainches were in perfect condition, so the test was a fair one, but, nevertheless, Mr. Knight is not satisfied that the Athlete cannot beat the Amy. Cuptain Wilson holds a different opinion and Henry Peterson is willing to back it, so the chances are that day or Sunday. - “Charley’” Peterson is the only discon-’ solate man i the crowd, as he-lost $10 on account of the faith he had in the Athlete. | A sketch was made showing the launches | atthe finish with Augel Island in tke dis- tance. At 'the time it was almost slack" water and the vessels off the north end of Goat Island had just begun to swing with the tide. . = Matters in sealing circles will boom in British Columbia before the month is ont. " During the last season nine British vessels were seized by American revenue cutters and ordered to report at Victoria. This they did and now there are nine suits for | damages averaging from $15,000 to $40,000 each pending in the British Columbia courts. In order to presenta good case Uncle Sam wants all the witnesses he can i find. Secret Service Agent N. R. Harris of the Treasury Department has been en- gaged on the matter and has secured sev- eral sealing captains who will go to British Colurmbia to testity. Among the number is Captain Alec McLean, and he will tell all he knows about British methods in Bering Sea. Captain White of the Ep- vinger was also asked to go, but as all the United States would guaranteé him was $5 a day and bis expenses he decided to go to sea. The Eppinger is ready to sail on a winter cruise and Captain White will go out in her. Other captains will only go to Victoria on the understanding that they are back here in time to sail on the next spring cruise.
