14 THE FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY., JANUARY 27 A LITTLE FAMILY SOUABBLE AGITATING THE FAIR HEIRS The Attorneys for Mrs. Oclrichs and Her Sister Think the Prosecution of Cooney a Bad Move. EXECUTORS OF A LIKE OPINION. The Millionaire’s Son Insisted cn | It Despite the Protest of Other Interests. A NEW WITNESS FCUND FOR MES. CRAVEN. Webb Saw the Bonarza King in H':r; House on the Date of the | Marriage Contract. | Tuere is discord in the ranks of the Fair | lawyers and beirs. While ail lined upin | the common cause against Mrs. Craven and her pencil deeds, they have taken to quarreling among themselves over the | best way to defeat these documents. Cooney is the rock upon which they have split. The prosecution of the young notary in the criminal courts wasan inno- vation in the programme of the campaign against Mrs. Craven prepared just after Dr. Marc Levingston wittdrew the famous pencil will. The groundwork of the evi- dence upon which the police are now seeking to convict Cooney of perjury laia by the attorneys for the special ad- ministrators of the estate, W. M. Pierson, R. B. Mitchell and Garret W. Me erney. When detectives in the employ of these interests fell afoul of the records of the printing house of H. 8. Crocker & Co. the chestnuts they pulled out were to be used not in a criminal prosecution of Cooney, but as a lever to defeat Mrs. Cra- ven's deeds in the civil iitigation pending before Judge Slack. Captain Lees was atonce called in to aid | the cause of the estate. Every movement lates that have a vital bex on the big is-ues involved was duly traced | and chronicied. First of all Lees discov- ered that Fair was in San Rafael on Sep- | 4, the day on which Mrs. | e dead bonanza king the pencil will in her house at fornia streer, and handed her deeds to | property worth $1,500,000 in the presence | of Haskins. For a day or so the chief of detectives thought he bad un eartbed a mare’s nest, but a second inves- tigation convinced him that Fair came to | San Francisco during the day, returning | to the Marin County suburb in’ tne even- | ing. There was more work along these | lines and the detective talent turned it attention to Cooney and his acknowledg- | ments on the pencil deeds. | The Crocker printing-house story, as 1t | is now known, with its defective printing | deiects, was the result of this labor. “But the aiscoveries which have since been her- alded with a flourisb of newspaper type by the Fair side of the case were originally not to be made known at all. It was the intention to spring them as a sort of mine on Mrs. Craven, when she would be totally unprepared for them, in the civil litiza- tion. The attorneys for the special ad- ministrators of the estate favored this plan. Se did Reuben Lioyd and Russell J. Wilson, the legal advisers of Mrs. Her. | mann Oelrichs and Miss Virginia Fair. It was_Charles L. Fair, through his at- torneys, Knight & Heggerty, that jumped | over the traces. They were cognizant of | every move Lees and his detective force made, and the moment the Crocker story was strung together they launched out in the criminal prosecution of Cooney, in spite of all sorts of protests on the part of | the other attorneys in the case. McEner- ney and Pierson deplored this movement, but once it was precipitated were forced to give it all the support at_their command in self-interest. Lioyd and Wilson fell in line in a hali-hearted way. The wisdom of the move is seriously questioned now by the executors and ud- ministrators, and rumor has it that young | Fair is rather inclined to believe be made a hasty jump. The exoneration of Cooney would prove a serious blow to the cause of the heirs. It would mean a tacit defeat of the Fair children in the first serious skirmish they have taken part in. Lt would indirectly go a long way io estab- lish the validity and genuineness of Cooney’s part in the transaction, which is one of the points the opposition have vig- | orously opposed from the inception of the lawsuit. That is why, now that they have been dragged into the legal puddle, every resource at the command of the millions of. the dead bonanza king is now directed o convict Cooney. That is why, also, there 1s a marked coolness between 1 | not at all interested McEnerney and Knight, and rumor has it that Reuben Lloyd is not doing his share to push the bandwagon along. Captain Frank E. Webb, in addition to being the chief witness in Cooney’s de- fense, is down as an important factor for Mrs. Craven and her pencil deeds. Webb will be called to narrate a visit he made to Mrs. Craven’s home at 823 Sutter street on the night of May 23, 189, the date of her marriage contract_with James G. Fair. On the evening of Ma: 2, the pupils of the Mission Grammar School gave an eratic enteriainment at the Grand eru-Louse, and the preceding afternoon wus devoted to dress rebearsal. It has been s contention of the Fair people that Mrs. Craven could not have supervised the details of this rehearsal and at the same time have performed such an impor- tant function as marrying James G. Fair. They claim to have secured evidence to prove that she spent the entire afternoon at the opera-house, looking after the de- tails of the performance. Webb is a brother of Mrs. Alma E. Greenwell of Alameda, who atthat time was a pupil of Mrs. Craven and took a prominent part in-the apeuuc perform= ance. “On the afternoon of the rehearsal, which, by the way, is the date of Mrs. Craven’s marriage contract,’’ said Webb, 1 went down to the Grand Opera-house to see my sister. The rehearsal was pri- vate and a woman at the stage door re- fused my request for admission. I then asked to see Mrs, Craven and was told she was not there. Ithought I was being ‘strung,’ so to speak, and sfter a second request to see my sister I left, rather out | of temper. I thought things were not oing right and made up my mind to have my sister witbdraw from the pari she was slated for in favor of her understudy. I| was pondering on this subject all the afternoon sud by evening my mind was y made up to tell Mrs. Craven of my plans. I met her on Kearny street, in front of Newman & Levinson’s and re- galed her at once with my tale of woe. She tried to smoothe matters over, and as a last resort asked me to walk home with her. As we went up the steps of her house, at 823 Sutter street, the door was opened for us by James G. Fair. He haa evidently been watching for us through a window, for just as she prepared to turn the knob thé key turned inside and the Senator drew open the door. He stepped aside into the parlor doorway for usto pass down tbe hall. Mrs. Craven seemed rather confused, and thinking I was not wanted [ hastily bid Mrs. Craven good-by and left the house.™ The Cooney people have been studving up the subject of the evidence Handwrit ing Experts Ames and Carvalho will give at the trial, and they are prepared to prove that these experts have at times varied as much in opinion as they agree on the genuineness of the pencil deeds. In the Twentieth Century for August there is a reminiscence of a former disagreement of these two judges of handwriting. Itis as follows: “A recent case in our New York City courts, when a merchant was almost rail- roaded to prison on the evidence of two experts in handwriting, was the means of bringing before the public again the fa- mous Garfield-Morey letter, and also throwing new light on the historical vents of the Presidential campaign of 1880. The two experts, Messrs. Ames and Carvalho, testitied in the recent case that a certain letter of a libelous nature was written by the merchaat in question. In opposition to them was H. A. Spencer, who proved that several of the features in the handwriting were common to others in the case. Th-re- fore the matter settled down to a question of expert testimony, which developed the | fact that Mr. Carvalno testified in 1880 that the Morey letter was in the handwriting of Garfield himself, whereas Mr. Ames charged one Kenward Philip as the author of the forgery. Here we liave two experts holding different opinions on the more im- portant case, but agreeing on the more recent one. During the imprisonmentof Kenward Philip, Governor Jewell, chair- man of the Republican National Commit- tee, engaged Mr. Spencer and his brothers to investigate the case. These three ex- perts, authors of the Spencerian school | publications, and pracucahy experienced in handwriting of all kinds, examined the matter thoroughly and rendered their de- cision to Governor Jewell. That decision exonerated Kenward Philip and vindi- catea General Garfield. This is the first time that publicity wasgiven to the inside facts in question. t is alarming to contemplate that on this unsound judgment of experts respect- ing handwritings men may be deprived of their liberty who are as innocent as the deceased Kenward Philip, and as blame- less as the world lamented Garfield.” The Cooney case will be resumed this morning.

Guests From Far aod Near Meet the Distinguished Prelate. | The Mansion on the Hill Ablazs With Lights and Beautiful With F.owers. The wealth, beauty, wit and fashion of the City and surrounding towns, aug- mented by distinguished representatives ot all the professions, met at the Stanford mansion on California street yesterday afternoon to meet Mrs. Stanford’s guests of honor, Bishop and Mrs. Newman. The distinguished prelate and his wife have for many vears enjoyed the tender | friendsbip of Mrs. Stanford; in fact, be- tween Bishop Newman and the late Sena- tor Stanford existed a lifelong friendship. When Mrs. Stanford conveyed to the | venerable churchman her sincere desire of | giving some form of entertainment to do him honor it was at his own request'that the lady decided upon a reception. Fifteen hundred invitations were issued for the occasion, and, with few exceptions, o regrets were received. The guests came from far and near, and | never before in the social history of the | State has one roof sheltered so many dis- tinguished people. The details of the reception were ar- ranged with ail that attention to minutiz which has always distinguished entertain- et it WHATHIMERT Wrfaid ST at prs sided. The entire lower floor of the marsion was thrown open to the guests. The apar- ments were brilliantly illuminated, ana the guests wandered ai will amid the rare and costly collection of art with which the house is filled. But little floral decoralion was found necessary to embellish the vast apart- ments, and the few choice blossoms used were placed with discretion and taste in costly vases and bowls where goou taste directed. In the dining-room a long table was set, and some hundred garcons stood ready to dispense all the delicacies of the season, with punch, coffee, tea and chocolate 10 wash them down. In the art gallery the orchestra was placed. Here also the Stanford Glee and Mandolin clubs assisted, and in compli- ment, to Mrs. Stanford rendered several vocal and instrumental selections. The hours of the reception were from 3 till 6, and.daring these hours there was a constant stream of visitors to meet the distinguished guests of honor. Each de- nomination sent two representatives, and clergy and laymen mingled in the merry throng. Mrs. Stanford received her guests, sisiea by Miss Alice Hayes, Miss Belle McKenna, Miss Laura McKinstry, Miss Joselyn, Miss Helen Hopkins, Miss Caro Crockett, Miss Anne Lyle, Miss Cora J.
