16 —— THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JANUARY 17, 1897, MRS, CRAVEN MAY BE INDICTED Special Session of Grand Jury to Be Held To-Morrow. Cooney Was Charged First in Hopes That He Would Turn State’s Evidence. Friends of Mrs. Craven Say the Pro- ceedings Are Intended to Frighten Her Witnesses. The Grand Jury, at its special session to-morrow, will hear the evidence which has been laid before the District Attorney by Captain Lees and others upon which the charge of perjury against ex- James J. Cooney was based. This was the purpose of calting the special session that it might make a aay of it. The evidence is said to be voluminous and the purpose is, of course, not to indict | Cooney, for he has been formally charged on a complaint sworn to by Charles L. Fair. The jury will hear evidence look- ing to the indictment of some six other persons who have figured as witnesses 1n behalf of Mrs. Nettie R. Craven, in sup- port of the famous deeds, including, of course, Mrs, Craven herself. Both District Attorney Barnes and Cap- tain Lees, together with the officers who “worked up the case,’’ deciare that this evidence is of a character that will result in bringing indictments agaimnst all the parties The Grand Jury will also make a formal recommendation to the Board of Educa- tion that Mrs. Craven be suspended from her position of Grammar School Cooney or an: may grow out of the inquiry. Why was James J. Cooney selected to De arrested on a sworn complaint while others who are involved with him, if he is involved in a criminal transaction, are to the tr of pending other criminal tri be indicted ? 1t is said to be a part of the scheme of prosecution, as suggested by Captain Lees. Cooney is looked upon as the tool of the more interested parties in an alleged conspiracy. He is referred to as the ‘‘weak sister. He was stmply made use of to perform a easy part in the play. Che prosecution, taking their turn in the piay, determined to make the same use of him. They c with first o for him—at the same t under heavy bonds. him olead him into thelr camp— 10 cause him 1o become their witness—to turn State’s evidence with the promise ihat the charge against him will be dis- missed.

Suppose two or three of them do so? Against this there is the word of Mrs. Craven, her daughter Mar- garet, Lee D. Craig. James J.

W1l reputable, gooa, trustworthy people. To be sure they did not all swear as to the deeds, but what they swore to is so interwoven with them that if the story of any one of them is true it is reasonable to assume that every otier one of them is true. *If one of them is shown to be false, all of them will fall. But look at the circum- stances. Is it reasonable to suppose that all these reputable people have been led into committing such high crimes as for- gery and perjury ? And for what? This pro- perty conveyed in the deeds is said to be worth $1,500,000. The fact is $900,000 would be a high estimate. What part of it are they each to get in cae their great and dangerous conspiracy successful? Mrs. Craven, who is set up as the arch conspirator, has no money. So true is this that the lictle inciaental ex- penses of the courts and of taking depo- sitions go unpaid for long periods. Some of them are not paid yet. None of the others have any money. What they have done must have been done on mere promises. Is it reasonable, now, to think they would lend themseives to such busi- ness on such chances? “As for Mrs. Craven she is represented 2s all that is evil now. A short time ago, while she had only gifts to bear to the Fair children, there were no praises too high for her. It was so with Gooney. When it was first stated that Cooney was the notary who took Fair's acknowl- edgment Knight and Heggerty threw u their hands and declared, *Oh, we know Cooney, he bhas done our business for years; he will never go onthe stand and swear that Fair made that acknowledgment.” But he did do just that thing, and now he is suf- fering the enmity of Charley Fair and his attorneys. They bring these criminal charges on the eve of the trial of the civil suit. If they had such impregnable evi- dence would they not, as good lawyers, have waited to bring it in at the trial, in- stead of exploding their mine in advance? | “They could have put all the ballsin the pocket at one coup, but they preier to tell their story out of court, in the hope of frightening Cooney and the others out of the sireight course they were taking. They Lang this criminal charge over all witnesses jor thedeeds in order to dis- vredit tbem, and so build up their own cause; but they will gain nothing.” The civil trial—the ejectment suit of Craven vs. Fair—is set for February 2. the | Notary | ven’s hands, for | oberts and George | st also. which all this pros- | Cooney, | The criminal proceedings may effect a postponement PROTEST WILL BE MADE. The San Francisco Trades and Labor Alliance Frames an Address to Naval Secretary Herbert. The following letter has been ordered forwarded to Washington by the San Francisco Trades and Labor Alliance: SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Jan. 11, 1897 Hon. H. A. Herbert, Secretary United States | Navy—DEAR StR: Pursuant to tiie appointment | of & commitee to investigate the rumor that | the Union Iron Works of this City, to which has been awarded the building of the Govern- ment gunboats, is working its employes nine hours per day in violatiop of the United States statutes at large (s 40), which limits the workday to eight hours, the San Francisco Trades and Lavor Alliance is pre- pared to prove that such rumor is true. And | inasmuch as there are rancisco many hundreds of competent mechanics who are | suffering for the need of the proceeds that | should come from their employment, we re- gard the violstion of the law referred to, by the Union Iron Works, as being at once illegal and unjust, and_respectfully request that you cause fo be instituted an investigation with the view of rectifying a grievous wrong to the citizen mechanics and laborers of this City disciplining those who seem Re- and coast, and 0 to deem themsy es superior to_the law. | spectfully, Max BLroc Recording and Corresponding Secrets Francisco Trades and Labor Allianc: S THE HORSE TRAINER.

ACKNOWLEDGED superior. the Waltz safes, in allsizes. 109 and 111 Marketst., S, F. * / KUSTEL HAD A NARROW' ESCAPE Butler Tried to Ship as Mate on the Hawaiian Isles. Asserted That He Was fent From Sydney by Agents of the Vessel. The Captain Had Engaged Another Man, So the Murderer Had to Seek Ano'her Vessel. Captain Kustel of the Hawaiian lsles bas an interesting story to tell about But- ler, the suspected Australian murderer. He came within an ace of having him as his chief officer, and Mrs. Kustel, who ac- companied her husband, is thanking her lucky stars that the fates were in their favor. Butler missed the Hawaiian Isles by an hour and then shipped on the Swan- hilda. Writing of the affair the Sydney Morn- ing Herald said: “It appears that the four-masted bark Hawaiian Isles, bound for San Franciszo, wanted a chief officer, and that he had been promised the posi- tion, but wken he reached Newcastle he found that Captain Kustel, master of the bark, had already provided himself with | a first mate in the person of an oid friend. | This was explained to ‘Lee Weller,” and it is said that he received a honorarium in the shape of a £1 note. Captain Kustel is one of the best-known masters that come to San Francisco, and | is justly popular among the sailors and shipping fraternity. In Newcastle, N. S. W., the first mate left the vessel in order to take command of auvotber ship, and Kustel had to wire to his agents in Syd- ney for another officer. It was in this way that he ran across the notorious murderer. “The Hawaiian lsles was almost reaay for sea when 1 found myself without a mate,” said Captain Kustel yesterday. | “For'a while I was in a aquandary, and then my wife suggestec telegraphing to Sydney for a man. I followed her advice, and al_once sent a message to the agents | of the Hawaiian Isles. ! ‘Before any answer came {rom Sydney | I met Captain Sorgatz, an old friend of | mine, and as he was anxious to get back | to the United States I at once engaged | him as chief officer of the ship. Then I at once went to the telegraph office and | wired my agents, ‘Can get a mate here; | don’t send any one on.’ Inreply Igot, | *We have made no engagement; ship your | man.’ ! “What was my surprise when, an hour later, Captain Lee Weller presented Lim- self and said he had been sent on by the Sydney office. I showed him the telegram I bad received an hour previously, and | then he began to bluster. He produced | his papers, which showed him to be a duly licensed captain in the British mer- cantile marine, and said he intended sa1l- ing on the Hawaiian Isles or he would know the reason why. “Idid not discuss the question with bim, but told him I had enzaged a mate | and did not want a second. He went for- ward and had a talk with Mr. Sorgatz, | from whom, I afterward learned, he got $5 in order not to make any trouble. | “Since my arrival in port last Friday I bave seen the Sydney papers, and bave no hesitation in saying that the man who wanted to ship on my vessel as first mate 15 one and the same with Frank Butler, ths murderer. He is not a bad:looking iellow, but bis good looks are allin the brutal line. “Give you a description of him? “Well, he was a big, stout, burly, reoul- sive fellow with a sort of fascinating man- ner, whom, now 1 come to think of it, I would not have shipped as the cook’s as- sisiant. The man was a conglomeration, and one minute I would feel sorry Icoutd n ot givehim a berth, and the next I was wishing he was safely ashore. Anyhow, I was weil rid of him,” From tho mate of the Hawaiian Isles it is learned that Butler was well supplied with money and was profusely decorated with jewelry. He nevertheless insisted upon having his fare from Bydney to New- castle refunded, and that was how Captain Sorgatz came to pay bim the £1 ($5). His luggage, according to the men on the ship, consisted of a heavy wooden box, fashioned like a sea chest, and a small Gladstone bag. Both these arucles cor- respond with those that Butler is sup- posed to have put aboard the Swanhilda a few hours before she sailed. Captain Kustel, his wife and daughter took their bicycles with them on the last trip and, on an improvised track on the deck of the big ship, they had many a run in calm weather. They now shudder at the 1dea of having such a man as Butler in command of the vessel while they were enjoying themselves. THE SOLDIER THLETES Some Good Work Done by the Boys in Blue on a Wet Campus. A 100-Yard Dash on Slippery Ground in 11 Seconds—Agility Shown in the Equipment Race. Despite the moisture of the atmosphere yesterday forenoon there wasa good at- tendance at the Presidio to watch the field day sports in which the soldiers at the post took part. The events took place on the parade ground. The men did some good work, and they were very enthu- siastic. The First Infantry band furnished music, which added much to the interest of the games that were carried on under the supervision of the following commit- tee: Captain Rodgers, Fourth Cavalry: Lieutenant Roudiez, First Infantry; Lieutenant Nolan, First Infantry, and Lieutenant Hinckley, Third Artillery, Lieutenant Barretto was the referee; Lieutenants Croxton and Campbell the timekeepers; Lieutenants Rutherfora and Burt the inspectors. The judges were Captain_Lockeet, Lieutenant Lacy, Lieu- tenant McNair, Lieutenant Gardner and Lieutenant Carson. John Coughlin, first sergeant of Company A, First Infantsy, was the clerk of the course. The first event was a 120-yard hurdle race in which there were seventeen entries. The winners were Carey, F Company, artillery, 19 seconds, and Glenny, I Com- pany, cavairy. o Then followed a running broad jamp, twenty entries. Fernandez of K Com- paay, savalry, won; distance 17:8 feet. Witt of K Company, cavalry, 16:10 feet, was second. The 100-yard dash came next, with thir- teeu entries. This was won by Puckett, G Company, infantry, in 11 seconds with four yards handicap, ' This, in view of the condition of the ground, was a remarkable performance. The next event was an equiflment race between cavalry and light artillery, three artillerymen and ten cavalrymen entering the contest. This consisted of military maneuvering requiring skill, activity and agility. At the start each competitor stood at & line beside his saddle, which was placed on the ground. The bridle and blanket were on the saddle, and the saber belt and pistol placed beside it. The horses were held fifteen vards in tie rear of the saddle. At the note of ‘‘boots and saddle” each competitor got his horse from the holder, rode 100 yards, crossed the finish line, crossed the leit suirrup, and threw his horse without dismounting. No surcingles were used. _ This was watched with a great deal of interest from beginning to- end, and the result was decided on the rapidity of execution and dramatic effect. The throwing of the horse 1s accomplished by therider pressing the reins over the horse’s nose, and-in that way causing him to get down on his fore knees and lie on his side. At the bugle sound of ‘‘boots and saddie’” the men started for the norses, and then followed some lively | work. The first prize was awarded to Fernandez of K Compiny,cavalry, in 1:25, Tae second went to Keilty of the same company. “U'he 220-yard dash (eleven entries) was won by Puckett of G Compauy, infantry, 241-5 seconds. Jenking of G company, artillery, came 1n second. The running high jump (thirteen com- petitors) was wou Englung of K Company, cavalry, with 4 feet 9 inches, and Posner of the same company was second. There was a 440-yard run (nine entries), won by Puckett, G Company, infantry, with 15 yards handicap in 5814 seconds; Hogan of F Company, artillery, second. The potato race (thirteen entries) was won by Devine of A Company, infantry, in 1:182-5 minutes; second, Kuehn, F Company, artillery. The last event was a relay race between teams of twenty men from the three branches of the service. This was won by the infantry team in 4:3 1-5 minutes. A game of baseball between the foot and mounted troops was postponed on ac- count of the rain. — ORGANIZING THE OARNIVAL. Meeting to Be Held Friday Evening at the California Hotel.
