10 THE SAN FRANCISCO VCALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER '13, 1896 e ———— ANOTHER HARD JOLT DEALT THE MONARCH OF THE FAKERS| CITY'S JUST DEBTS WISH TO PAY THE Juror Robertson of Recent Williams Libel-Case Fame|The Legislature Will Be Nails Another Examiner Lie to the Wall. . HIS CO-JURORS ACTED AS GENTLEMEN. Not Threatened With Violence Nor Was There a Dream of a Lynching-Bee. THE EVIDENCE DECIDED HIS OWN VOTE. His Statement in Open Court Not Challengzd by Any Member of the Panel. The “Monarch of the Fakers” received another staggering Llow in Judge Dain- | gerfield’s court yesterday morning. It| was a thrust below the fifth rib, an upper- cut delivered fair!v and in manly fashion by Juror Donald Robertson, and was well calculatea to knock out whatever preten- ena Mr, Rovertson said: ‘I can say a lot more if vour Honor wants to hear me.” Not receiving any encouragement to proceei Mr. Robertson sat down and after some consuliation among the lawyers it was agreed that the other libel cases shall ve taken up for trial on the 21st of this month, the charge against Frederick Mar- riott, editor of the News Letter, to be heard first. _ During the entire proceedings not a dis- senting word was spoken by any member of the jury, and it was evident that they were in sympathy with the expressions of Mr. Robertson, who has repcatedly de- clared in public and in private that he voted from conscientious motives and be- cause he thought it his duty to stand up for the right of free speech, a right ines- timable to free men and formidable only to tyrants. OLYMPIO BOXING. First-Cl Amateur Athletes Who Will Meet in Spirited Contests. For the pleasure of its members, the Oiympic Club bas arranged an excellent programme of fistic sports, which will be held on the evening of the 21st inst. The directors state positively that no in- vitations will be issued on this occasion, and that only members will- be admitted. The following special matches have been arranged: J. W. Ray, Olympic Club, vs. P.- Lynch of the Phenix Club, at 125 Asked to Assist in the Matter. Supervisors Passed a Strong Resolution to That Effect Yesterday. The City and County Asked to Take Proceedings to Condemn Laurel Hill Cemetery. The Board of Supervisors will attempt to have the next Legisiature fix on a pian by which tne creditors of this City and County can get their money. Supervisor King introducea the follow- ing resolution yesterday which was passed to print: WHEREAS, The creditors of this City and County who furnished in the year 1893 goods, wares and merchandise for the support an maintenance of the municipal government in all its branches were, by reason of expendi- tures made by independent departments of the government largely in excess of their ap- propriations, refused paymeunton account of the funds of said year being exhausted; and whereas, the Supreme Court, in sanctioning these expenditures, in addition decided that by reason thereof the goods, wares and mer- chandise so furnished could not be paid for, because of the expenditures exceeding the revenues of said year; and whereas, such ac- tion is prejudicial to the honor and reputa- tion of the City and County and repugnant to all preconceived methods of common honesty and alike discreditable to our County und our citizens; therefore be it Resolved, That the Legislature of the State, at its next session, be and is hereby respect- fully requested to take such action as may be in accordance with justice and fair deaiing to secure and insure the paymeut of all outstand- ing demands honestiy incurred and rightfully due to the merchants of the Ciy required for the conduct of the xovernment, so out and justice done. The board instructed the Treasurer to withhoid the rebates on taxes of those who are indebted to the City for delin- quent taxes. A number of wealthy property-owners ing H. J. Crocker, W. F. Whittier, J. B. tioned the board to condemn and pur- chase the land held by 8. Holladay and others which is needed to complete the JUROR JOHN D. ROBERTSON, Who Had the Courage of His Opinions. sion for truthfulness and accuracy was e of 5 | er possessed by the San Francisco mdi Willile Hearst’s Siamese journalistit | syndicate, in the organization of which this young silver-mine proprietor holds on of joining ligature. n the opening of court all the jurors the panel for the present term were present, including the tweive good men | and true who last week satin the trial of | Thomas § Hebbard by pubiishing a circular asking voters not to vote for him, because his friendship for “‘the notorious James Alva ‘Watt"” and “the political parasite” John F. Sheehan had led to great loss for the | depositors in the defunct People’s Home Savings Bank, and caused the signers of the circular to believe that Judge Heb- bara was unfair, and an unfair person to act as a Judge of the Superior Court. When Judge Daingerfield called up the libel charges to ascertain when the cases against Mr. Marriott and others could be | set for trial, Mr. Robertson arose and said | he desired to make a few remarks in the presence of the court and in the hearing | of his fellow-jurors. No objection being interposed, Robertson continued: “In view of a lot of false statements published in a sensational newspaper yes- ierday, 1 would like to say a few words in | justification of myselfand as a maiter -of courtesy to the other members of tne ! ury. Judge Daingerfield meditated a moment and replied that he was not sure.that Mr. Robertson was in order to take up the matter after the discharge of the jury. It there was any disagreement among you and the other members of the jury I'am sorry for it,”” replied the court. “Well, 1 'wish to deny that there is any life-iong enmity between me and the other members of the jury,” said Mr. Robertson.”” That is absurd. I Mr. | have served with them on other juries of | which I was foreman, and have always been on the friendliest terms with them. This case has not disturbed our relations. so far as I know. “I think it is due to our civilization and to our courts of justice as well as to the jurors themselves to state that no attempt was made to force me into agreeing on a verdict, or compel me to agree with the majorit; “It is not true, as bas been told by the paper to which 1 referred, that I turned my back on the other jurors and read a book all the time after going into the jury- room. I think Idiscussed the case more than any of them. I gave all the testi- mony full and fair consideration aand argued ou the evidence with other mem- bers of the jury “As to the statément that I offered to bave my throat cut and to let my wife die of starvation before I would agree to a verdict, that is all bogus. There was' no occasion for that remark, and it was not made. ‘““When the jury came into court Satur- day night I understood the foreman of the jury to say that I bad rejected all honor- able suggestions for an agreement, and I objected to it. I did notlike the intima- tion in that statement and I protested; but I understand now that he only said he had made every honorable proposition that a man could offer to get an agree- ment.”” Judge Daiugerfield made no response Wiltiams Jr. \ | Williams was accused of libeling Judge | a clerical error. ounds; M.

William L. Eppinger, who has been twice sentenced to the State Prison, but whose case persists in coming back to Judge Wallace’s department of the Supe- rior Court for further consideration, isin a fair way to get into deeper trouble. The last time that Eppinger’s sffairs were considered by the Supreme Court they came up on an application to correct The commitment stated that Eppinger had been sentenced to the State Prison for fourteen years for forgery, whereas, in fzct, Eppinger was convicted | of “‘nttering and passing a fictiticus check.” The Supreme Court appeared to appre- ciate the joke that lay in Eppinger’s ob- jections tob ing called a plain forger when he had shown himself to be aristo- cratic enough to ‘‘utter und passa ficti- tious check.”” Anybody cnuldpbe a plebe- ian forger. Ittook an artist to ‘‘mtter,”’ etc., so the-Supreme Court declared that Eppinger was not entitled to a necw trial, which would imply another chance to escape through the meshes of the law, but that Judge Wallace should resentence him. When called before the court for that ceremony Eppinger presented a petition for clemency. The petition cortained the names of the jurors, among them being at purported ‘o be'the signature of William Steinbart, who was known to be dead. 1In factaline was passed through the name and the word ‘‘deceased” was penciied after it. Eppinger admitted that he had written in the name of Steinhart, but said he had voluntarily canceled it, so he did not think he had manifested a desire to deceive the court. He might have let it stand if that nad been his intention. Judge Wallace seemed to tiink that a man who uttered a fictitious check might attempt to foist a fabricated petition on the court, and postponed the matter for investigation. He intimated that the peti- tion might be all right, but he didn’t exactly like its looks. Yesterday Gaston E. Bacon, whose name was appended to Enpincer’s petition, ap- peared in Judge Wallace’s court and noti- fied Clerk Salomon tnat he had never sizned the document, and hed not author- ized any one to sign it for him. Next Friday t.e case will come up again and Eppinger will b2 asked to give a further explanation in regard to his facility in penmanship.

The matter was referred to the Street Committee. The confirmation of G. W. Brown Jr. as Gas and Water Inspector was finally refused by the board. Claus Spreckels was granted permission to extend the entrance columns of his new Third and Market street building five feet over the sidewalk along two-thirds of the Market-street frontage. A resolution was passed to print in- | structing the City and County Attorney to bezin proceedings to condemn that por- | tion of Laurel Hill Cemetery necessary for the extension of Sutter street.

It Was Dismissed Solely ¥rom a Desire to Avoid Notoriety. It was stated to-day by one of the attor- neys interested in the case of alleged mis- appropriation of funds, recently ais- Tty-owners, .| missed, against Leroy G. Harvey, that the dismissal was solely the result of the plaintiffs’ desire to avoid notoriety. ‘“‘No restitution of any kind was made,” said the attorney, ‘‘and no compromise or even an attempt at compromise has been thought of. Mr. Harvey was the intimate friend of Mrs. Smith’s husband and later the trusted manager of the estate of the widow and daughter. Under these cir- cumstances the examination of the plain- tiffs would necessarily develop all kinds of family reminiscences, which the plaintiffs consider too sacred to be aired in court and from which they very naturaily wished to be protected. “Mrs. Smith and Miss Maud Smith stated the whole matter in_their letter to District Attorney Barnes, in which they said that they had come to theconclusion, in view of the dismissal of the first charge in Judge Bahrs’ court, that they aid not wish to proceed with Another charge, as the result would probabiy be tne same. The business relations ~ between Mr. Harvey and the plaintiffs are exactly the same as they were when the suits were filed. He has done nothing by way of bringing about a restoration of what they claim he had invested contrary to their wishes. Myrs. Smith and daughter con- sider the unpleasant ordeal of a trial or trials a far greater hardship than their alleged losses.” e S a— FINE GOLD QUARTZ Some Beautiful Specimens From Siaki- you to Be Exhibited. C. Meyer of Siskiyou County, wio runs a mine near Siskiyou belonging to John M. Daggett, Suverintendent of the Mint in this City, called on Secretary Filcher of the State Board of Trade yesterday with some very rich specimens taken trom his mine. The specimens shown are quariz containing free gold in the shape of leaves. “There 1s any quantity of this kind of rock up there,” said Mr. Meyer, ‘‘and it vou will provide a case I will send you $4000 worth to place on exhibition in your rooms, but you must put them in a safe at night.” The secretary informed him that Mr. Daggett had offered under the same con- ditions to loan $6000 worth of specimens. The secretary stated that he would en- deavor to obtain a sale and case in order that these exhibits showing the richness of Siskiyou may be placed where the pub- lic can see them. 5 —_————— Sudden Death of Miss Burnap.

It is probable that during the present session of Congress an appropriation will be made to erect the buildings on Goat Island in which the Nava! School for Boys is to be established, and that the work of construction will be commenced within six months. The buildings will be erected uear the little cove on the eastern end of the island and not far from the present Government wharf. For discipline afloat the Pensaco- lait is thought will be secured from the Secretary of the Navy. In anticipation of the establishment of this school the Secretary of the Navy gave the commander of the receiving-ship Independence st Mare Isiand permission to take on a number of appreatices, and these are receiving instructions which will be of great service to them when they are ready to be transferred to the naval schonl. The purpose of the school will be to furnish sailors, capable and intelligent, for the United States navy. Quite a num- ber of boys have already bLeen taken on and itis a remarkable fact that the Cali- fornia boys show a much greater percent- age, mentally and physically, than those of the East do. ————————— It strange fact that the right hand, which is more sensible to the touch than the left, is less sensibte than the latter to the effect of heat or cold.

How many people we meet these days who complain of tired, worn out feelings and seem to be very much ‘“under the weather.”” There seems to be an epidemic of ill-health and an unusually Infge num- ber of people are feeling and looking weak and sickly. Bat there is fortunately- a way to overcome these miserable feelings and regain lost health and strength. Thousanas of people have discovered this way and many of them are giving others the benefit of their experience. Hereisan interesting opinion on the subject: Mr. E. B. Toale of 432 De Kaib avenue, Brooklyn, says: *‘In the spring and sum- mer I was formerly a constant sufferer from weakness and nervous debility. 1 tried many remedies but obtained no_ re- lief until” I began taking Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey. Since I commenced using 1t my friends are nsyconiuhed at my im- roved appearance.’ E The ab}())I:'e opinion has been selected from thousands of others, all testifying to the same efiect. It proves beyond any question that for building up the system and imparting new life to weak, weary people, Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey issim- ply unequuled. It purifies the blood, quickens the circulation, promotes diges- tion, cures constipation and gives new life to every vart of the body. All grocersand druggists keep Duffy’s Pure Malt, but in purchasing, care should be taken to guard against inferior imitations COSMOFPOLIITAIN. Opposite U. .
