14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1897. THOMAS COLLINS, Who Identifies Butler as a British Sailor HE KNEW ASHE | AT COOUIMBO Thomas Collins, Who Is an Ex-Marine, Makes a Statement. Ashe Came Aboard the Triumph From the Prison Ship Liffey. He Proved to B: Always a Sociabl Person and Seemed Not at All Like a Murderer. It was stated in yesterday's CALL that two ex-marines named Thomas Collins and John Conway, the first nemed of whom once served on H. M. S. Triumph, both knew Ashe, the man accused of the Blue Mountain murders. Collinscommu- nicated the following interesting particu- lars yesterday afternoon: “My name is Thomas Collins and while acting police corporal of marines I had many interviess with ‘Darky’ Ashe. 1 first made his acquuintance at Coquimbo, Chile. I was then employed as au acting ship's corporal, although 1 was a marine. 1left England in H. M. S. Triumph, which was to relieve the Swiftsure, then at Co- quimbo. We arrived May 1, 1835. Swiftsure left for home on or about latter end of May or the beginning of June. Several ‘casuals’ came aboard the Triumph and amoog those who reported for duty was this she, otherwise called *Darky’ Ashe “The other vessels there at the time were her Majesty’s ships Heroine, Sappho, sloop-of-war, and the prison ship Liffey, which was always there. When these ‘casuals’ reported aboard it was my busi- w0 inform the officer of the watch: r, there are several casuals come aboard from the Sappho, Heroine and Liffey to report tor duty on H. M. S. Triumph as flagship at this station.’ he officer of the watch would then y: “Go and acquaint the chief of police.’ “When the chief comes up he brings watchbook with him. On this oc- casion he finally reached Ashe, and to the best of my recollection he said: “What ship are you irom?’ *‘Ashe mace reply: ‘The Liffey.” “The chief asked: ‘What department were you employed in on your last vessel 7" sie said: ‘In the forecastl “The forecastie men do not often go aloft. Ashe was coutinually under my observation in toe police department untii I teit the vessel, September 1, 1886, I never knew definitely why he was placed on the prison ship, but it was claimed tbat Le was doing twenty-eight days on the Liffey for stealing a midshipman’s napkin- ring. *Ashe was on and off until I left the vessel September 1, 18 I visited the Triumph in 1857, when she called at this port, but I never saw Ashe, though I was never told that be wasn't there. He was always a sociable kind of a fellow and did not Aeem to be a man wio would become amurderer. Isaw him to-day and be is the same man. Wita regard to the photo- graph, I would say that it is the custom, When'a photographer comes aboara, for us to change clothes with one another styles. “Ihave a good many photographs of this'kind, and as nearly as I can recoilect the photograph you reproduced yester- day was that of ‘Darky’ Ashe. 1'wasn't quite sure at first, because L only saw him for a moment as he entered the Ap- praisers’ building. When I saw bim to- dey be gave me the hearty grip one might expect after a long separation. I said ‘How do, *‘Darky” ?" said ‘How do?' “Conway was his shipmate on H. M. S. Sultan in 1882, during the bombardment of Alexandria. He is now, to the best of my knowledge, either on the Empire or the Gipsy. He saw Asne before I did and told me about it. *“Darky” Ashe? | asked, and he said ‘Yes.’ Isaw him after that and recognized nim. “If you write to ‘the Admiralty depart- ment, at Whitehall, London, and ask for | the list of men who served on board the Sultan during the bombardment of Alex- andria you will get all the information you desire regarding him.” UNIQUE COLLECTION OF DRAW- INGS A Large and Valuable Private Collec- tion of Advertisement Sketches to Be Exhibited.

Judge Coffey’'s courtroom has been crowded with women recently, for the testimony in the case of Mrs. Laura Milen- James, who claims to be the widow of the late Dr. Charles James by virtue of a contract marriage, is growing interesting. When women throng the judicial forum it is safe to assume that something relat- ing to marriage or divorce is on the docket. Mrs. James, as she is termed by her at- torneys, or Miss Milen, as she is called by the lawyers who represent the kith and kin of Dr. James, claims the $30,000 estate of the decedent on the ground that she is his widow and the motner of his child. Her opponents aver that her claims are | fraudulent, say that her so-called marriage contract is fabricated and bogus, and allege a conspiracy to get the property, going so far as to declare that Dr. James, Who was an old man, was not the father of the child produced in court, and at- tempt to suow that he had not met her more than eight months before the birth of the alleged heir. To controvert this assumption the ostensible widow has in- troduced the testimony of herself and others to establish for her infant a status. Mrs, Milen-James' character has not | escaped in the general melee. An attack uas been made on the charge that she associated with several men, some old and some young, previous to and after ber acquaintance with Dr. James. All these things are indignantly repudi- ated by the little woman,and it is ad- mitted on all sides that throush the terri- ble ordeal of the tiresome, rasping court proceedings she has borne erself in a cr-ditable manner, which has won for her the respect of all spectators. Mrs. Saran Jane Williams testified that | she had known Dr. James since 1870. He often visited the house where she was liv- ing. He went there to call on Judge Hud- A short time before his death she is son. talked with him and jestingly remarked that she and the Judge had been wonder- ing what had pecome of him; that they did not know whether he had been sick or hud been off getting married, hke voung boys ot his age were apt to do. He said | no, that he had not been sick und 1 ad not | been getting married, as he bad had | enoueh of that. The next time she saw | bim he was dead. - She heard no exclama- tion of mourning in the room where he lay a corpse. She saw Mrs. Laura Milen- James in the room. Henry Dickman, busband of Lulu Milen | Dickman, a sister of Laura Milen James, | testified that he authorized tne senuing of | | @ telegram to Miss Mattie Jumes, & niece | of the late Dr. James, informing her of her | uncie’s death.” He: also authorized the | sending of a power of attorney to Mattie representative here. His telegram told her that she was the principal ciaimant. | He was introduced by bis wite to his sis- ter-in-law Laura as “Mrs. Dr. James” about ten days before the narriage, but did noi take it seriously. Mrs. Sarah J. Zollinger testified that in | 1894 she kept a loaging-house at 218 Leav- enworth street. She continued : *‘Mr. and Mrs. Dickman first came to my bouse on Sep:ember 16, 1894 The Milens also were there in October. On December 14, 1894, Mrs. Milen, Mrs. Dick- man and Laars Milen were at my house. In the evening they wentout and came back between 10and 12 o'clock at night, and with them were three gentlemen, who remained all night. After that night Mrs, Milen and Laura left, and only returned on the 15th and 16th to help Mrs. Dick- man to move her things, “I did not see Mrs. Milen again until the time that Dr. James lay dead. As I walked on Sixth street, near Market, 1 chanced to meet Mrs. Milen, and she asked me to accompany ber to her then home. As Mrs. Dickman had left owing me some rent I was interested in ascer- taining where she lived. Mrs. Milen put her hand on my shoulder and said, ‘My landlord is dead,’ and she wanted to know if the administrator could put them out of the house when :hey had puid their | rent until the middle of next month. I | told her they could not if they had a re- | ceipt. ~She kind of smiled and said they ‘would have a receipt all right.’ “There were other people living at my house at that time. Among them were the Shafers, relatives of the Milens, from San Jose. Others were named Green, Jackson. Milier and Jones.” Mrs. Mary Gallagher testified that she was in_the house at 925 Howard street when Dr. James died. “I went iuto the death chamber soon after the doctor_died and found there Mrs. Milen, Laura Milen and Mrs. Dickman. Mrs. Milen said that she and Laura had just returned from the theater and asked the doctor if there was anything that he wanted and he said ‘No.’ Soon after that he died. Mrs. Milen toid the undertaker that they were verfect strangers, ana that the doctor had Do relatives here. Mre. Dickman told me that it was too bad the doctor died, as he was engaged 10 her sister. Laura was not | present when this remark was made.” y » | James, as be wished to be appointed her | and rig ourselves up in all shapes and | A LOVING CUP TO A LOVING COUPLE | Notable Reception to Pro- | fessor and Mrs. Joseph ‘ Le Conte.

In such a life there is no room for seifisuness. In a union so close there is no room for “rights.” How we iret about rights. Duty itsell isa form of bondage. Love is freedom. 1 accept this loving cup as a mbol of eternal and indissolubie union. Governor Budd made a short address, speaking asa graduate of the universit and addressing ‘‘Professor Joseph and { Mrs. Professor Joe™ as they “‘used to do. He spoke of the bills for the support and extension of the university taat have just passed the Legislature and of the pleasure be would have in signing them. The loving cup is a genuine loving cup, with three handles, and is the largest ingle piece of gold ever worked up by Shreve. Itis nine inches high by seven across the handles. On the first face is a raised wreath of green gold surrounding the inscription: *To Professor and Mr:. Le Conte, from the University of Califor- 1847-1897.” TUnderneath the wreath is a raised oxidized gold ribbon upon which is enameled in blue the Latin in- scription: “Fama Semper Vivat” (May your fame live forever). On one of the other faces is a raised seal in blue enamel and gold—the colors and the seal of the University of Cali- fornia. On the third face in raised oxidized gold is the great seal of the State of California. The general color of the cup is polished gold. Telegrams were received from gradu- ates and others in many vlaces throuch- out the country and a number of floral tokens, one of these from the pupils of Le Conte school.

Enthusiastic Meeting of the Members of the Committee—Reports Adopted. There was an enthusiasiic meeting of the Burns monument committee of the in Scottish Hall last night. The committee on mode of procedure and organization appointed at the previous meeting submitted its_ report, which was read by Secretary Y. C. Lawson and adopted clause by clause. It provides that the officers shall consist of a presi- dent, vice-president, treasurer and secre- tary; that the committee shall meet in Scottish Hall every Thursday evening at 8 o'clock and eight shall constitute a quoram. A supplementary report was adopted recommending a mode of procedure toward | raising funds, as follows: That we first eceive subscriptions from the members of the committee. That we canvass the leading members of the community for | subseriptions in large sums. That we then | have subscription books circulated through- | out the Pacific Coast and make efforts to secure popular subscriptions. - That tue committee arrange during the year for one or two enter- tainments in aid of the fund, said entertain- ments to be arranged upon a large scale, and with the hope of realizing & very larze sum of money. That inls comimitiee, wuile ack- nowledging the many courteous offers made, will accept no benefits tendered until after the celebrations directly on its own account- have been held. D. R. McNeil, president of the Caledo nian Club, was unanimously elected vice- president, and the committees on mode of procedure and additional memoers were amalgamated till the additional nineteen members are selected, when the executive | committee will be appointed. These two committees consist of James McNab, John F. Kenuedy, Secretary Y. C. Lawson, President Colin M. Boyd, Vice-President D. R. McNeil, and Andrew Wilkie, presi- dent of the St. Andrew’s Society.

Chinese Highbinders and Their Counse! Still on the | Aggressive. Heathen Gamblers May Have to Stand Upon Trial if it Takes a | Lifetim . Judee Joachimsen held another levee yesterday afterncon in his court. The Chinese who were arrested last Sat- night in their higbbinder and | gambling resorts were there just as they largest | and the assets, good and | ned o | b8, foot up the same amount. were the day before, with a determination to thwart justice and make things thor- oughly disagreeable. There were more than ten score of the heathens crowded into the courtroom, and they, like their feilow-defendants of the day before, were ready to be con-| tumacious in refusing to plead guilty or | otherwise. | Five defendants were called to the bar, and Interpretor Louis Locke translated 10 them individually the complaint as filed. | The court was obliged to take the same | course observed in the casesof Lee Chung, | Wong Lung and Yee Chee the day pre- vious, calling for a jury trial, which in- volves the attendance of nearly 500 tales- | men to make up the juries. | The breach between Major Smith, who‘ | | represents the Chinese, and ex-judge Louderback, who represents the prose- cution as special counsel, has not closed. Loudrrback refuses absolutely to try all | the defendauts at one time, becausé he | says that a conviction obtained thac way | would be sure of & reversal or new trial if appealed to the Superior Court. Hence he iusists upon an individual trial ora vlea of guilty that would settle the cases by the payment of a rine. On the other side, Attorney Smith ex- pects to clear his clients, and while he is willing to try any one of them as a test to go for all, he declares he will try each man’s case from the reading of the com- plaint to the Judge's charge to the jury if | the prosecution insists it should be done that way. The spirit of antagonism shown at the present tie between the contending par- 1ies must necessarily invoive the expendi- ture of some yesrs of criminal trials in Judge Joachimsen’s court if those con- cerned stick to the e they have arawn. | This is true for the reason that no one case can be carried to a conclusion, with the usual delays to which a defendant is entitled, inside of a week, and there are over 232 defendants now at the bar. Judge Joachimsen, in speaking of the | dilemma which threatens to vlock his court, said yesterday: ~0f course Iam opposed to having the affairs of my court ciogged. I want o at- tend to the affairs as they come along in theusual way and work night and day to do s if necessary. But in these cases it is quite different. ~There is no necessity for any clogging and I will not permit it if 1| can do otherwise. The law requires that | the complaints be made separately and | they have been drawn in that wav, but 1| do not see why it is necessary for the de- fense to demand the reading of tie com- plaint in English and in Chinese in each case. ‘Ihen the defendant remains mute and contumacious, compelling the court to glive bim a plea of ot guilty and a jury trial. | “Such proceedings are wrong and the at- torneys tnemselves could avoid it. Still, | Lam bere as the servant of the people and | if it is necessary I will continue to the end of my term trying these Chinese cases. I hardly believe that the attorneys for the defense cay afford to do as much for their chients.”” Will Celebrate Washington's Birthday.
