THE SAN FRANCISCO OALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 14, 1897. HOWARD S WON )wupnm Downed Lincoln IT a Nose for the Oakland ! ' . Handicap. The Cheat Beaten Out for a| Stake by Speedy Free | Lady. | Rapido Took the Opening Race at Em- eryville at Long Odds—Three Favorites Successful | | The sport at Emeryville was well at- tended yésterday and seven well-filled | eyents were on the card for the edification of race-goers. As outsiders in the betting ade themselves quite conspicuous, even | though three first choices did win, itis| mere than likely that the twenty-one | bookmakers increasea the amount of their | bank rolls considerably. | By far the best race of the day was the | Oakland handicap, atone and a quarter | tiles, with the original big cast of entries | réduced to the small number of five. | Howard 8, carrying 108 pounds, landed the prize through the superb riding of Charley Thorpe. The brown colt was a }to 10 favorite in the bettingandina elling drive through the stretch with | oln 1I, the second choice, just man- | ged to reach the wire first by a nose in the fast time of 2:073{. Had the place | horse not had a hard race on the preceding | day he would probably have won. Judge Denny was & poor third. _Free Lady, a smart Lttle miss by Free Knight from‘Fauna III, carried Bily Magrane’s colors to the fore in the racing stake, a’ selling jevent at four furlongs, or two-year-olas.” The Cheat was a 3 to favorite, but Free Lady got away sailing, | nd the first choice not being able to lose the gap was downed a length in seconds. Thorpe showed improving m and finished a good tuird. Sixteen “dogs’” furnished the first bet- | ting proposition, lining up for a six and a half furlong spin. Baron at3'to1-had a slight call in the betiing over Mulberry. The latter looked a winner at the head of the stretch, but in a drive was beaten out a head by the 60 to.1 shot Rapido 1idden Shepard. Podiga was third. The event following was a *'split"” of the pening run, with fifteen platers facing webbing. Lovdal was a 6 to 5 choice the betiing ring with Senator .Grady as heavily plaved at8 to 5. The pair ssed the field and fouzht it out. At theend Bloan hada shade the best of horpe 1n saddle-work and got the Sena- over the line a nose before the fayorite n the fast time of 1:21 Theé fifth race, over a mile, was the occa- sion for Jockey Slaughter to give an exhi- n of miserable saddle-work. He had ez up on Aquinas, which opened at 1 and receded to 3 to5. David, the 8 to nd choice, was allowed to make the won handily from Lost Girl, a 50 ot. Siaughter took his mount out | at the stretch turn and was beaten | a length for the place. | Anumber of bad actors gave Starter | Ferguson a deal of trouble at ths post in | the sixth event over six furlongs. He finally sent them away to astraggling start, and App'ause, the 3 to 2 favorite, won h-ndily from Colonel Wheelery a 12 to 1 shot. "MeL ght, away poorly, was a g00d third, Pat Murphy puiled up bleed- ing. 3 The mile and a half berdle handicap looked a good thing for Flashlight, which horse was heavily played at odds of 4 to5. At one time it looked as though be would win by a_block, but, showing a tendency to stop the last sixteenth, barely beat Tuxedo out & nose in 2:46%. Auteuil, a 50 to 1 shot, was a close thira. VETERANS ENTERTAIN, An Evening of Music, Song and Dance Dby the Boys Who Ean With the Machine, Whenever the Volunteer Firemen’s As- sociation hold a social reunion there is al- ways a crowd, and the entertatnment and ball given last evening in Pioneer Hall was no exception to the rule.

De!mas Scores Their Dilntori Tactics Resort:d To on the Eve of the Trial Judge Slack’s court was the scene of a most interesting argument yesterday afternoon -in the suit of Mrs. Nettie R. Craven dgainst the estate of James G. Fair, deceased. The discussion arose primarily over the application made by Delmas & Snortridge on behalf of Mrs. Craven for the taking of the deposition of Charles 8. Wheeler, who as attorney for Miss Virginia Fair had filed & complaint in intervention, alleging that the so-called pencil deeds are forge- ries and that they were fabricated by a conspiracy in which Mrs. Craven, Mrs. Haskins and Notary Cooney took part. O:her matters came up for considera- tion and were handled in masterly style by the attorneys on both sides of the caze. Mr. Delmas made it apparent to the court and to the roomful of listeners that the sole object of the suit in intervention was to secure a postponement of the trial of the main case until ti.e detectives, pri- vate and public, in the pay of the Fair estate combine shail have been able to formulate even more damaging charges against the witne sses for Mrs. Craven. It was shown that for some time these schemers have hoped to secure indict- ments acainst some of the persons whose testimony they dread in the civil courts. But the Grand Jury has hesitated to lend aid and comfort to this desperate hope, and delay was desired with the further longing hope that the members of the Grand Jury might be overpersuaded to do the wil! of these secret and private prose- cutors. Mr. Delmas’ closing speech was a de- licious bit of sarcasm, and put the mem- bers of the bar in laughing mood. Even the serious-minded Judge could not for- bear to smile when he spoke of Mr. Wheeler's professed knowledze of the truth of the allegation touching the con- spiracy to forge the pencil deeds. Mr. Delmas said thst he and nis associates were delighted to learn that there was one man who pretended to know all abousthe making of these deeds. The instruments on their face bear the stamp of genuine- ness, but here is a man who says he knows they are forged. Yet when he is asked to take the stand and tell the truth about them he hesitates and haits and asks for delay in wuich to consult authori- ties. For what? Is it necessary for him to consult au- thorities in order to tell tbe truth? The truth is all that Mrs. Craven’s at- torneys ask for now or any time. These proceedines have been pending for something like a year and a half. Hitherto no person has been brought for- ward who professed to aefinite knowleage in regard to these deeds. Suddenly there appears Mr. Wheeler, who makes affidavit that he knows them to be forgeries, He is the only man on earth who knows these things, and is asked to take the witness- stand and disclose the whole truth, but e parleys with the court and pleads for delay. This reminded Mr. Delmas of the medi- cal student who was being examined for nis degree, and the old professor who was conducting the case asked him, *What 1s life?” i “Well, professor, I did know the answver to that question, but I have forgotten it,” replied the youthful aspirant for a physi- cian’s dgiploma. “Great heavens! What a loss to science !’ exclaimed the professor. ‘‘Here is the only man on earth who ever knew what life is and now he has forgotten it!” So it was with Mr. Wheeler, said Mr. Delmas. He is the only man who has ever professed knowledge of the genera- ¥ Bettlng. Index.| Horse. age, welght. 14 % 8tr. Fin. Jockeys. (Op.

This sally on the part of Mr. Delmas evidently cut to the quick, as also did the suggestion that Mr. Wheeler ought to un- bosom ‘himself of his precious secret at once, lest he might meet with some sud- den death and bis fair client thus lose the inestimable benefit of hisimportant teati- mony. Yet despite all this urging and the spirited challenge of Attorney W. W. Fo te, who declared .that Mr. Wheeler knows actually nothing of the production of the pencil deeds, Mr. Wueeler insisted on a techunical point for delay and so wore on the compassion of the court that he was granted a posiponement of several daysin which to gather -his wits and his authori- ties 1or the purpose of meeting the iszue. Mr. Wheeler grounded his objection to testifying on the technical ground that the atfidavit of notice was not sufficient in that it shou!d have set out the exact nature of the testimony it was sought to adduce. Mr. Delmas said he presumed the objec- tion was made on the part of the some- what numerous array of counsel who appear for the intervenors. “Icall your Honor’s attention,” he said, “to the now somewhat famous affidavit ol Charles L. Fair, upon which was based the criminal prosecution of J. J. Cooney. The affidavit in this case 1s exactly similar to the affida- vitupon which that deposition was based.” Mr. Delmas called attention to the fact that on an exactly similar affidavit Judge Slack had threatened to commit Mrs. Crlven for contempt if she did not testify. On that occasion Mr. Delmas had stated that he was under the impression that anthorities could be found in the New York cases upon the point, but the ruling at that time was that the affidavit was sufficient. I rely,” he said, “upon the uniform course of conduct throughout these cases, which has now become a quasi law of th.s court.” 3 Mr. Wheeler presented New York ane thorities which he claimed were in line with his contentidn. These, Mr. Deima replied, were not material to the ¢ase. “Now, it your Honor please,” he - said, “what is this case? ‘We have found out at last some one who knows all about this case. There have been acenvations' of crimiunal acts which were palpably and demonstrably false. Such was the state ment made here yesterday that the depo- sition of Mrs, Craven' had ‘not been ob:* tained and could not be.obtained. . - “Time atter time have the attorneys. for, the executors asked for. and obtained confinuances in this case. One. con- tinnance was granted on the ground of Mr. Pierson’s absence from the City. At that time counsel gave their word that they would seek no farther’ continuance. Yet when that continuance was over, in direct conflict with their promises, they sought for and obtained another de!ay, ana at the expiration of ‘that continuance they ‘again came. into court and were granted more time. *We have looked forward to next Mon- day as the time when these slanderers would be brought to the bar to tell what they know, and that no longer they would depend on the vaporing columns-:of the press; and now another delay Is threat- ened by the filing of an intervention by a claimant to one-ihird of the property in question. When this matter is deter- mined another one of those convenient offspring will come forward and file his intervention. Thus it is proposed to con- tinue the matter from day to day, from month to month, from year to ye: “After all rumors, after all falsehoods, after magistrates, courts and Grand Juries had been resorted to we at last thought these rumors would be brought to the bar next Monaay. “When to our joy, when to our great amazement, we found one person in the City who knew these deeds to be forgedy who knew of the conspiracy to defraud the dead and despoil ‘the living—when we knew there was such an omniscient being, as soon as we could get the papers together we said to him, ‘Come forward, tell what you know and let this case slink away into the criminal courts.” And now who is it that slinks away and seeks to avoid telling the truth? Isit us? ““We hope to be able to show when the time comes what there is in this interven- tion, but we insist upon our rights to take this intervention now, and upon our rights we most earnestly insist.” Reuven H. Lloyd in response to Mr. Deimas said that the statement of Mr. Deimas showed the justice of Mr, Wheeler's contention, as he admitted that the pur- pose of the deposition was not germane to the question of intervention. He deniea that there was any desire on the partof the plaintiffs todelay the case, and averred that they would be ready for trial on Mon- day morning. He explained that Charles 8. Wheeler verified the complaint from information -as an sttorney. . He read copious extracts from the code, which he represented were defensive of an aftorney swearing to matters of which le has no personal belief. ‘W. W. Foote responded to Mr. Lloyd. He asserted that Mr. Wheeler had not orn on information and belief, but had sworn that the.statements were true of his own knowledge. ‘It is all a broad posi- tive stateruent,’” he said. *'If Mr. Charles 8. Wheeler knows of his own knowledge that this isa conspiracy anll a frau1 we want to know it that we may witndraw, but we don’t want Charles 8. Wheelerana we don’t want Reuben H. Lloyd to hide behind the petticoat of their client to make such statements as are contained in that affidavit. We know they have not the facts to prove a conspiracy. We don't want Mr, Wheeler to go upon the stand to him to swear that he doesn’t know any- thing about whether they are forged or not. And we think we are entitled to that as a matter of justice.” Mr. Wheeler asked permission to make a persorial siatement. He then stated that he had verified the complaint as at- torney, following what he considered a legal and justifiable procedure under the circumstances. He stated that at the prover time he was ready to take the wit- ness chair, but he asked tims to examine authorit to see what his rights were under the circumsjances. “Imarvel at the” request made by the witness,” said Mr. Delmas. ‘‘Yeaterday afternoon he knew the truth and swore to it. He swore upon his own knowledge that he knew this was a conspiricy. He swore upon ris own knowledge that a fraudulent certificate had been affixed to each deed. And now, within twenty-four hours, he wants time. For what? To tcil the truth? “Let us know what new light has dawned mpon the counsel which hasso changed the character of Mrs. Nettie Cra- ven, whom they once saw as a highly re- spected lady and a friend of James G. Fair. What new knowledgze have they acquired coccerning the pencil deeds since my friend Reuoen Lioyd brought them down from the mountain, like the great lawelver, brought and presented them with as much dignity ? “It 1s mot necessary for time in which to read authorities to tell the truth. Now we have found the man knowsall about it let us have the precious truth thatlies in his breast. Is it not possible that while he is looking over authorities some great calamity might overcome him and Vir- ginia Fair would thus be déprived of the one man who knows all about it? We are apprehensive, if they are not. We want to know the truth, and we want to know it quick.” Judge Black held that the notice was sufficient, and Mr. Wheeler would have to take the siand, but he allowed him until Monday at 10 o'clock to examine suthori- ties, as he had requested. The motion to strike out the petition in intervention was then taken up, This matter is of great importance to the defendants, as the petition, if granted, would make the case an equitable one, and, it was argued, might deprive the defendantsof their constitutional right to a jury trial. The motion to strike out the complaint in intervention was then taken up. Mr. Delmas, in prosecuting the motion, state1 that he had no objection to any one inter- vening rightfully, but ke objected to the effort being made to change the nature of tue case after the 1ssues on the eve of the trial had been framed for seven months. ' He objected to the tomplaint on the grounds that it did not establish Vir. xinia Fair’s connection with James G. prove these deeds are false, but we want | 2 11 Fair and that. it sought to change the action from one in law to one in‘equity. He argued that the only object of the in- tervention was to delay the action, and to this end only one of the children had intervened, to the end tbat the others might file compliints one at a time, and thus almost indefinitely delay the issue. Mr. Wheeler contended that advantage should be sought on demurrer of the fact that Virginia Fair had not been shown to be the daughter of James G. Fair. Coun- sel indulged in a technical argument upon the adverse jurisdictions of law and equity, wh.ch protracted the session of the court until long after nightfall. Judge Slack was anxious to conclude the argu- ment 8o that the trial could go on Mon- day, according to the calendar. The breadth of the argument, however, Was greater than he had looked for, and he will not be able to render his decision until some time next week, so the trial will nécessarily go over. * During the course of the argument it was discovered that a substantial change had been made in the pléadings subtitted by the attorneys for the executors.. Mr. Delmas. averred that_there had been‘an agreoment that there should be no such change,” and 'he expréssed: his astonish- ment that-such a thing had been done. | . Judge Slack informed Mr. Delmas that he would be granted an opportunty Mon- day to attack the pleadings if he so de- sired.

Judge Wood Finds That Advice Is Lost on Incorrigibl QAKLAND, Car, March 13, —Judge Wood has discovered, after nearly three years on the bench, that. light sentences are a failure with incorrigible lads. To- day Walter O'Leary and Adam McBride were before the Judge. O'Leary has been in court several times, charged with jumping trains, tormenting Chinamen and similar tricks, aud now he is convicted of stealing lumber. Judge Wood said that the most difficult prob em he has to deal with is the treatment of such boys. They do not appreciate leniency as is proved by the past. O’Leary was sent to jail for six months, McBride, who is not so vicious, was oraered to prison fora day and lec- tured concerning his prospects if he met the Judge again. Doctors are of opinion that the left leg is usnally stronger than the right. MYSTERY IN THE HENNESSY CASE The Coroner’s Jury Says He Was Killed in a Row. Stolen Pistols and Burglar’s Tools Now Figure in the Case. A Verdict That Throws Suspicien on a Companion o! Hennessy's Named Reilly. ““William J. Hennessy came to his death from a gunshot wound received while ina row with John Doe Reilly” was the verdict. {| rendered' by the Coroner’s jury yesterday in the case of the shoemaker who was killed in the St. David’s House on-Howard street on Wednesday last. ¥ ‘The verdict was the result of certain ev.dence that' developed something of a mystery in the case. Hennessy was, drinking with a number of companions, among whom there haa béen disputes over various matters, and when he went into the hall of the house, followed by one Reilly, a shot was heard and a little- later Hennessy’s body was found with a bullet hole in the head. From the stories told by Hennessy's companions, who were Kittie Shannon, May McCann, Kittie Donneliy, a man named Reilly and 8 man named Webber, at the time it was supposed that Hen- nessy had committed suicide because of inability to pay for beer that he had ordered and was unable to settle for, but subsequent developments have lad to a suspicion that a murder was committe Sergeant Donovan of the Police Depart- ment was detailed on the case and found that there bad been a quarrel in the room where the party was jarinking and thata pistol had been exhibited. Hennessy was jealous of Reilly’s atten- tions to Kittie Donnelly and had quarrelea with Reilly and taunted him with not be- iui.gnmu -enough to shoot. iliy stated when taken into custody that Hennessy had taken a pistol from his pocket when they had gone outside and said: “[ ought to sboot you, Reilly, but I guess I will kill myseif.” Donovan also testified that a gunsmith uller, whose place on Californla 8 t was robbed, had identified the pis- tols found in the room and int. all as having been stolen from him. The ser- geant also found a jimmy and other bnr:hnrs;dzioon in the room where party held its orgy. - The story of fio suspects was conflict- ing and they denied all knowledge of what bad taken place in the hall after Hen- iily passed out. Reilly was booked at the City Prison last night on the charge of marder. Thomas Shannon, Mamie McCann and Kiitie Fravnks, who were arrested at the same time as Reilly, were booked on the charge of vagrancy. TW0 MONTHS SINGLE. Quinan Quickly Changes the Name She Could Not Drop. OAKLAND, CAn, March 13.—Sooclety received a surprise to-day by the an- nouncement that Mrs. W. R. Quinan was married to Lieutenant Fiager, U. S, Army, more than two months ago. Mr. and Mrs. Quinan gave this county 8 surprise last November when the huse band'applied for a divorce. The testimony showed that the parties, who are people of 'wealth and social prominence, had not lived happily for some time. - Mrs. Quinan ileft her husband, went East, refused to re- turn, and on the ground of desertion her husband was granted a decree. *Mrs. Quinan applied to the court for permission to resume her maiden name, but Judge Eilsworth stated that as her conduct was indefensible, and for the sake of her children who had grown up, he would not grant the desired permission. 8he did not, huwever, carry the name she disliked very long.
