BiG DAMAGES FOR CHARLES A, LEE The Southern Padfic Rail- road Company Must Pay $8oo( No Variance, Says tle Supreme Court, in the Jiry’s Findings. The Company’s Clever luse at Law Fails of Its Inten—Trial Judee Reverse, The BSouthern Pacific Rilroad Com- pany will pay Charles A. De the sum of $8000 damages, with no chmce to dodge the is.ue. That was the deision of the Bupreme Court Landed don yesterday. Lee brougnt action againt the South- ern Pacific Railroad Compny to recover damages for personal injures sustatned by him. His plea was thatihe company was the owner ol a ce tain rilway in the county of Los Angeles, and that at the time of the injuries complaited of he Was employed as brakeman; thatwhile in the performance of his duties at a siding calied Honby he wae thrownfrom an en- gine upon which he was ridng and sus- tained serious injuries. He further alleged that thecause of the accidens was the negligence of the com- pany in imperlectly construcing the rails and track at Honby and slowing them to remain in that condition In answer the company :dmitted the ownership of the road in cyestion, but claimed that it was not resporsible for any accidents, as prior (o the {ime of the brakeman’s injury it Lad leaed the road and all the rolling <tock 1o the Southern Pacific Company of Kentudky. It also denied thet Lee was ever in is employ as brakeman or in any other eapacity, and that the road was imperfectlyconstructed or out of repair. % The jury returned a generd verdict in Lee’s {avor for $8000. It also made special findings of fact upon certaiy interroga- ‘tories presented. Eriefly sumuarized 1hey were: Thaidefendant owned the road in question, but that as claimed it hed been Jeased together with the roling stock to | the Southern Psacific Compiny of Ken- tucky; that the Bouthern Facific Com- pany had constructed the sie_line, and that the plaintiff was at the tfme of the accident iz the employ of the latter company. The trial court determined that a con- flict existed between the special findings end the general verdict, 8nd bslding that under the former tne cdmpaiy was en- titled to the verdict, rendered juagment accordingly. Lee appealed the case to the Supreme Court. In s decision the Suprsme Court quoted section 1 article X1I of the_consti- tution, which declares that the Legisl; ture shall pass no law p-rmitting the lienation of any franchise so as to re- lieve the franchise or property held there- under from the Hability of the lessor or grantor, lessee or grantee, contracted or enjoyed in the operation of the franchise, OF any of iis privileg-s. After a learned dissertation on the law involved the court reeched the following conclus«ions: That the proofs disclosed Lee to be in the employ of the Southern Pacitic Com- pany and the slight variance in the evi- .dence immaterial. The amount could be | eliminated and the canse of action suil | remain. That plaintiff met with the injury while enguged in the lawiul performancs of his dutics and met with the accident because the road was out of repair and the com- pany was responsible for its unsafe condi- tion. Therefore there was no irreconcilable conflict between the peneral verdict and the siecial findings of tue jury and the gourl should nave entered judgment for ee. Accordingly the judgment was réversed and the course remanded with 1nstruction to the trial court to enter judgment for Lee under the general verdict of the jury, or for $3000 damages. SAUSALITO MAILS. The Town Across the Bay Will a Eegular Daily Delivery Hereafter. Bausalito is to have a regular mail de- livery once a day under the system for which Congress recently made a large ap- propriation for experimental purposas. Those who wilt furnish boxes and place them at convenient places, where carriers can reach them as they pass along the roade, can have their letters and pavers delivered once every twenty-four hours and the carri-rs will also co!lect mail for soncentration at the postofiice. The system will not extend far to begin with, but if it be found to work well it | will be extended and made a | affair, providing the Postoffice Depart- ment receives re;ular appropriations from Congress to cover the expense. 1he pres- ent appropriation will be exhausted in July, and it will then rest with Congress whether the service stops or goes on.

SUPPLIES ARE HARD TO OBTAIN The Unemp'oyed Arrang- ing Their New Head- quarters. Cooked on the Big Range for the First Time Last Evening. Lumber, Kitchen Utensils and Viiuals Were Ob‘ained by Solicitors Yesterday. The unemployed spent yesterday 1n col- ters, 614 Howard street, habitable and the night in making the most of what they obtained. Chairman Leffingwell announced in the | afternoon that none except those who had prover credentials signed by the chairman and secretary would be permitted to col- | lect contributions and that all others | would be considered impostors and ex- | pelled from the hall and its privileges. Some of the =olicitors who went out dur- | ing theday tocanvass for supplies met with fair success, but the majority came back disheartened with the answers they received. The Salvation Army has the town so thoroughly covered,” said Chairman Lef- fingwell 1n explaining the matter, “that we find it hard 10 get even enough to feed these hundreds of hungry men. “All we want 13 enough to keep the boys from hunger and give them a place | 1o sleep until they can get work, when, of cours:, they will be off our hands. ™ *‘In many ca-es we have asked bakeries and markets 10 divide their charity be- tween us and the army, and some have promised to do so.” One solicitor who callea on the Simpson Lumber Company yesterday was glad- dened by an order for 2000 feet of lumber, and hammers resounded through the hall | as carpenters amonx the unemployed knocked the rough boards into tables and venches on which 1o feed the crowd. Other solicitors obuained stovepipe and stove connections, and at 7 o'cock t.e chairman leaned over the gallery in the south end of the hall and said: “Boys, the range is in place and in a short time there will be coffee, bread, potatoes and meat for all. ‘Ihis announcement was greeted with cheers and the poor fellows, many of whom had not eaten for twenty-four hours, began to take heart and talk of the time when welcome employment could be obtained. It is needless to say that all fell to with a will when the cooks had served the food smoking hot in vessels that had been contributed duringthe day. Fingers served for knives and forks in many_insiances, but the victuals disap- peared rapidly even with this handicap. Several hundred men spent the night in the big hall curled up in corners or lllze;w t is hoped to obiain enough lumber to-day to build bunks for a great many. The fol- lowing contributions were obiained ye terday: Holbrook, Merrill & Stetson, assorted dishes ana kitchen utensils; Irving’ Bros., one sack potatoes; William Cline, 1oree hams; A.

His Brief Evidence Before the Commissioner Yes- terday- Says He Was Bound for England and Did Not Wish to Remain Here. The fortunate few, comparatively speak- ing, who attended the Ashe extradition proceedings before Commissioner Hea- cock yesterday were rewarded for their trouble by witnessing more than one epi- sode which might rightly be character- | ized as at least interesting if not sensa- | tional. Incidentally the defense scored several technical' triumpas, though no serious attempt was made 0 rebut the ac- cumulated mass of testimony against the prisoner. The only new witness called to the stand yesterday was Ashe himself,who denied when questioned by Mr. Black that he had ever stated that the portrait of Mrs. Lee Weller found among his effects was the portrait of his wife. The several witnesses who so testified early in the hearing were at once recalled by the prose- cution in rebuttal and again swore posi- tively that the prisoner actually made such a statement ana that his testimony alleging otherwisa was false. As soon as the court convened at 2 o’clock Mr. Black, who seems to be the head and front of the defense, held aloft a typewritten document which proved to be the bill of sale transferring certain of the pri-oner’s effects to Attorney Pidwell. “1 will call Mr. Roche,’’ said Mr. Biack. “You are familiar with the prisoner’s handwriting?”’ Le asked. em,’’ replied the witness. You recognize this signature?” indi- cating the name at tne foot of the bill of sale. “Ido. I believe it to be the signature of the prisoner.” *‘I desire,” said Mr. Black, paper in evidence.” Mr. Cormac rose hastily. 0 offer this “We have a | few objections to make, your Honor,” he began.” *“First we contend that documen- tary evidence is not competent on bshalf of the'prisoner—" - Mr. Black here interposed to explain that he introduced the paper for the reason that these proceedings were based on a warrant seeking uot only the vrison- er's person, but certain personal property m his possession. The purpose of this paper was to show the fact tnac although ceriain personal property might under the extradition treaty and at the discretion of tle Governmentof the United States be delivered, yet the rights of third parties must be respected. The document was not introduced on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. Cormac, however, further objected toitsintroduction on the ground that Mr. Pidwell was not a third party in the mean- of the treaty; that the bill of sale pur- ported to b: made by Lee Weiler, while the prose ution had proved Lee Weller to | bedead; that the property was evidence | of crime and that the document was de- | signed to defeat the purposes of justice; ihat it was intended to interfere with the United States Marshal in the fuifillment of . is duty. *If such a document could be drawn up atany time,” continued Mr. Cormac, “by a prisoner after his seizure with such evi- dences of his crime in his possession it would be very easy to defeat the ends of justice. Take the case of counterfeit coin. Should the coin found in his possession be deeded to Pidwell or anybody else it would be a simple matter to securs the very evidence upon which the prosecution for a conviction. No doubr, 100, Ashe, or Butler, owned the rifle with which it is alleged Lee Weller was shot. If at his trial he could make a deed of gift of that rifle to somebody else he would thereby do away with the evidence against him and ‘make it impossible to convict. “‘We contend that no such transfer of property after seizure and apprehension can be made. The rights of third parties mentioned in the treaty refer to the origi- nal owner, and not to the person obtain- ing the articles after apprehension. If property is taken from a man his rights, of course, must be respecied, but after the prisoaer has come :nto this jurisdic- tion with the rroperty on his person it is too late to obtain a bill of sale and thereby try to defeat the ends of justice. We further object on the ground that the bill of sale was made to one Mr. Pidwell, and that he is the prisoner’s attorney, and we insist that any means by which they try 1o circumvent an order of your Honor's is contempt of yon and of the court, and I Go not think your Honor will consider the argument for one moment. We also ob- ject on the ground that the property sought to be obtained by this bill of sale is the very same property found upon the prisoner and put in evidence; that more will be putin evidence, and 'that it was testified in both cases that this property is material evidence, necessary on his trial, and that under the treaty we are bound fo keep these articles in the pos- session of this court.” Mr. Black replied at length to the pre- vious speaker’s objections. The prisoner, he argued, was seized without right and his property taken away from him with- out any authority, writ, warrant or onler. The prisoner while in this position saw fit to muke a bill of sale. The attorneys for the defense had formerly been criticized by the prosecuting officer for not attempt- iDg lo take away this property from tne custody of tbe court. he effect of these objections was to throw discredit upon the prisoner’s counsel for doing something in a legal manner and by the adjudication of a competent tribunal with a view to establishing the title to this property, and not only doing .that but trying o estab- lish that right in this court. No attempt, he assured Honor, was being made to remove the property from the custody of the court. Neither the grantee of this bill of sale nor any of the prisoner’s counsel had at any time or now aitempted to do so. The defense had merely sought to remove it from the cus- tody of a privat> person, to wit, Barry Baldwin. Mr. Black furtuer explained with much technicality of language that the defense merely sought to establish the legality of the transfer to the grantee of any such right as the prisoner might have 10 the property in question. And the de- fense also tenderea 10 the United States Government all such articles as might be deemed of value to the British Govern- ment in the prosecution of the defendant. Thesearticles he enumerated as follows: Songs of England. pocket entyclopedia, piece of paper relating to documents and will of Lee M. Weiler, photogranh of prisoner, photograph of Mrs. Lee Welter, song entitled, “We All Love Jack,” to- gether with all certificates, discharges, etc., made out in the name of the mur- dered man. Commis-ioner Heacock said that the rights of the claimant must first be re- spected as fully under the assignment as if there had been no such document in tive case. He apprehended that when ail the testimony was in there would be very little property of value which it would sack’ potatoes; Paulicl & Cassidy, one sack Children Cry for e e e Pitcher’s Castoria. not be deemed necessary to hold in favor ot the prosecution. ‘“The prisoner will take the stand,” said Mr. Black suddenly, and there was an im- mediate revival of interest among the spectators. Mr. Cormac wanted to know the pur- pose of the examination. Was it to be Tor general purposes or only with regard to this assignment? “It is our desire,” replied Mr. Black, o0 ask him oniy abont three questions, not concerning the bill of sale. I can fully explein what I want to ask if the court desires.” The prisoner being directed to take the stand rose clumsily and after taking the customary oath with hand uplifted and apparent unconcern sat Gown comfortably and awaited developments. Deputy Mar- shal Gallagher followed his charge to the witness-stand and sat down by him, Mr. Black having obtained the photo- graph referred to as representing Mrs. Lee Weller handed it t0 Ashe and said: “Prisoner, you heard a previous witness in this case’' make a statement that you said to him that this picture was the pic- ture of your wife?” 1 did not say so,"” replied Ashe calmly. “Wasit a fact?” “It was not."” *'Did you ever make such a statement ?” Never.” *Prisoner, you heard a certain testimony concerning & white powder found in your hat?” ¥er.t) . “Do youknow of any white powaer be- ing in your hat prior to your arrest?’ “I do not. I did not put any white powder there.” *You came to the port of San Francisco on ibde ship Swanhiida?"” “Where were you bound ?’ “San Francisco. m there, where?’ “Home to England." *“Had you any intention of remaining in Snn\Frxnci:cu or the United States?” “No.” Then the statement made by the cap- tain of the ship, that you desired to get off atonce, wasthat true?”’ *I object,” cried Mr. Cormac.” - Take the witness.” “Lee Weller is your name?” askea Mr. Cermac. The court, failing to hear the prisoner, asked, “What name?’ e Weller.” hat,” he added hastily, “is the name Ishipped under,” *“Is 1t your name!” ed Mr. Cormac. _“I object,” cried Mr. Blac] The ques- tion is immaterial and incompeten:.” ‘“‘How long,” continued Mr. Cormac, ave you been known as Lee Weller?”’ I object,” from Mr. Black. *That is no objection,” said Mr. Cormac sharply. “You must state the point of your objection.” “‘The " prisoner,” replied Mr. Black promptly, ‘“‘has been asked no question by counsel as to who he was other than that he was the prisoner, and 1 submit | that an investigation as to what his name is or has been 1s wholly immaterial and is not cross-examination.’’ The court—I think, perhaps, you are right. It is certainly not desirable to open the door to an investigation as to what higtrue name was. “That’s all,” said Mr. Cormac. ‘The prisoner left the stand and had al- most reached his seat when Mr. Black be- thought him of several additional inter- | rogatories. “Did vou leave the ship Swanhilda of your own free will?"* “Yes,” came the unhesitating reply But this didn’t sait Mr. Black. “Think before you answer,” he said warningly. “I was taken off by the police, of course.” Mr. Cormac then called Sergeant Bun- ner, Detective Roche, Detective McHattie and Constable Conroy in rebuttal ot the | prisoner’s testimony, denying that he eyer referred to Mrs. Lee Weller as his wite. All four were emphatic in reafirming that the prisoner had so stated in their presence, and all four stigmatized his present denial as untrue. Conroy, Roche and McHattie were again | called by the prosecution to give further evidence in the Lee Weller case and to identify the various articles found among the prisoner’s baggage as having belong d to the murdered man. Mr. Black sub- jected the three witnesses to a very search- ing cross-examination, in which he sought to obtain a definite explanation of rhe necessity for particular ariicles at the triat in Australia and the exact grounds upon which the witnesses based their conclu- sions thatsuch articles originally belonged to Lee Weller. Roche went through the ordeal without flinching, and expressed his conviction thut nearly everything found in the pris- oner’s possession was siolen property. He also informed the court that some of the articles belonging to Lee Weller were stolen from their owner before the date of the murder, during Weller’s brief stay at a Sydney lodging-house. All this testic mony, however, wassubsequently stricken out by order of the court as entirely ir- relevant to the present issue. This closed the case on both sides, argn- ment bemng set for Friday morning next at 10 o’clock, when Mr. Donohoe will ad- dress the court for two hours and Mr. Biack will follow for a similar lengtis of time or even longer. SHOT THROUGH THE HEART. C. Paulson, a Cabinet-Maker, His Own Life. C.

Yesterday morning he was heard mov- ing avound in his room, but nothing was thought of the matter aud he as not gisturbed. Last evening the landlady knocked, and on receiving no answer forced the door and discovered the body. A revolver and a bullet-hole in the left breast told the story. A pawn ticket showing that the dead man had pledzed his waich for $10 Thurs- day was found on the body when it was searched, but nothing that would throw any light on the cause of the suicid uld be discovered.

When the case of Wing Sing and Chin Poy, charged with the murder of “Littie Pete,” was called in Judge Joachimsen’s court Thursday aiternoon Attorney Smith made a motion g dismiss on various groonds.

They Refused to Bring Forward Their Client When Ordered. The Committed Lawyers Sue Out a Writ of Habeas Corpus and Will Fight th: Order. Another considerable snag was encoun- | tered yesterday in tne prosecution of the | Chinese rounded up in the recent raid on | the so-called social clubs. The trial of | Yee Chung for visiting a gambling-houss was to have taken p'ace before Judge Joachimsen at 2 o'clock yesterday, but “I foresaid =nag loomed up with folmidable aggressiveness before the pro- ceedings had fairly commenced. When the name of the defendant, who had already pleaded not guilty, was called Attorn J. F. Smith and Joseph F. Coffey answered ready. Behind them sat a long row of stolid-looking Celestials, and there was nothing in their demeanor to indicate which was the entcilet Yee Chung, who was about to undergo trial. Dayis Louderback, who has been em- ployed by the Chief of Police as special | prosecutor, objected to this. He de- manded that the defendant be brougit to | the bar. Smith and Coffey objected vio- lently. They declared that thé proceed- ing demanded was simply to allow the police to see who the defendant was so they could identify him on the stand as the man arrestod. A wordy war ensued between the attor- neys, and Judge Joachimsen finally or- | dered the delendant’s attorneys to pro- duce their man. | “With all due respect to your Honor,” said Atiorney Smith, *‘we decline to obey | your order,”” and matters had to come 10 an issue. Louderhack was equal to the occasion. He sugzested to the court that the attor- neys were cleariy in contempt. The Judge, who looked upon the attorneys’ re- fusal to comply with his order as an at- tempt to delay the trial, acquiesced in At- torney Louderback’s opinion and held both ihe defendanis’ attorneys to be in contempt. He fined them each $100 and commitied them to. the custody of the Sherlff for twenty-four hou The case was then postponed until Tuesday after- | noon. Swith and Coffey immediately sued out a writ of habeas corpus before Judge Sea- well, returnable before Judge Wallace Tuesday at 10 o'clock. The attorneys in- tend to fight the commitment on the ground that a compliance with Judge Joachimsen’s order would be giving evi- aence against their ciient, failure of ide: tification being the chief defense relied | upon.
