Disappointm nt in Store for th: Percy Biwards Adventurers—The Young Queen D2 The Occidental and Oriental Company’s steamer Coptic got a great send-off as she left the Mail dock last Thursday, another from the lugs and steamers along the water front and a third as she passed over the bar from the lodkout at Point Lobos. The occasion was the departure of Mrs. and Miss Shotwell, the wife and daughter of the respected manager of the Mer- chants’ Exchange. Captain Snotwell is oneof the best liked men in San Fran- cisco, and his home in Mill Valley is a eneral rendezvous for all shipping men the country. Nearly 150 people were down to see Mrs. and Mss Shotwell off on their tour of the Orient, but many of them left for Point Lobos before the iast zong went. Among them'was Captain Shotwell and his son and a large party of their male friends, the ladies remaining at the wharf. When the Coptic passed out the bar was breaking on poth banks and the vessel was deluged with spray. She went out through the north channel, and when in a line with Point Lobos and on the crest ot a wave Pilot Jordan ordered three blasts of the whistle. “Johnny,’’ the out- | | while the gentlemen Ten minutes later the Coptic was lost in the mist and flying spray.

Alleged Discrepancies Reasonings of the Learned Justices, Durrant’s Case Ccntrasted With the Cass of Buckley, Conv.cted of in the| Election Frauds Judge Wallace made a scathing speech from the bench yesterday touching recent Supreme Court decisions when the case of Jerome A. Buckley came up for hearing on an application to dismiss the prisoner | for convenience Judge | comments which proved entertaining to decision Judge Wallace said it appears| that the Supreme Court does not consider | a postponement of one day a postpone- | ment at all. If this be true, he remarked, then the trial courts must be in an unset- tled state touching this question until th number of days’ delay required to const tute a postponement has been determined on by tne Supreme Court. if one day’s delay does not constitute a postponement, would two? Would it be possible under this rule to say how many days’ delay would constitute an actual postpone- ment? The Supreme Court now complains that its calendar is congested with appeals in such matters, yet if this rule is not speed- | ily brought to a definite interpretation the appeals from the criminal courts all over the State will be greatly increased in num- ber. This phase of the decision, however, did E nou receive o much of Judge Wallace's | criticism as did that part in whica the | Supreme Court dealt with the alleged in- | sutficiency of evidence to sustain the ver- | dict and’ the rules of law touching the province of the Supreme Court in review- ing the acts of the lower court, His Honor had before him & paper con- taining extracts from the Buckley de- cision, put in contrast with other quota- tions from the decision in the Durrant case, whicn was handed down two days later. Afjer reading these quotations, which | allace had placed in the torm of the ‘‘deadly paratlel” so often resorted to by journalists as we'l as jurists, his Honor made some *‘free-hand”’ the many members of the bar who were present. from custody. Justices Temple and Hen- shaw were referred to in terms polite but | caustic, and the conditions of jurispru- dence in California were dwelt on at con- siderable length. i Buckley was an_election officer in 1594 | | and was accused of having altered the re- | turns of the precinct in which be acted | as clerk of election.

When a man is charged with a crime the | presumption is that he is gailty or no war- rant could be issued for his arrest. Wuen he is placed on his defense and he pleads | “'not guilty” the presumption is in favor of his innocence. This presumption must be overcome by the prosecution, who must srove the guili of the defendant beyond a P reasonable doubt.

As presented here (in the printed record) the transcript contains no evidence tending 10 show guilt in the defendant. It would appear toat the only inculpating evidence before the jury consisied of the comparison by the jury 1wselt of certain handwriting proven tv be that of the defendant, with altered portions of the tally lists. The tally lists are not in the records in any form (Thatiss mistake. See printed transeript, folio 179.) and neither the original nor any iac-simile of either paper is presented here. The point is mado that the evidence does mot sustain the verdict. Of course, since only evidence consisted in the comparison of handwriting by the jury, the record hers (printed) does not show whether there was any probative force in the evidence. * = * The defendant contends some evidence—if any there was—which would make it appear to this court that there was the participation of defendant in the crime specified. * * * But although it was incumbent upon the peopie to see that the bill of excoptions contained some evidence tending to establish every eiement of the crime, sull they could not, under the s'atute and the rules of the court, incorporate inio it 1 parers. Nor 'was it the duty of the prosecutiou or indeed permistible under the code to provide photograpnsof the writing. 1t was only possible, under the Penal Code, for it to do just what it did do—state what evi- dence was submiited to the jury. It then be- came one of the numerous cases in which we are at a di:advantage in weighing tne evi- dence. It eaniot be represented or pictured here as the jury and the court saw it. MARCH 3—DUBRANT CASE. ‘This court sits in criminal cases solely for the correction of errors at law. If in any crimiual case there be eviaence adduced logi- cally tending and legally sufficient to show the guilt of the defendant, this court cennot sud will notdisturb the jury’s determination, even under a claim that there is conflicting evidence, which might have raised a ressona- ble doubt of his guilt. @ e e maewlon iy e The province of the jury in weighing evi- dence and deiermining the degree of credi- bility o be accorded the testimony of wit- nesses is, under the rules of law, exciusive. €L T e W Upon a review of the evidence of this tribu- ual we may DOl examine with minuteness ciaums that witnesses are discredited, or that thelir evidence is unworthy of belief, or look to see whether some other conclusion might not have been warranted by the evidence.

(Here follow cltations of authoritjes.) was put in evidence together with a written paper containing the identical words and figures contained in the alleged falsifica- These writings were submitted to the jury, together with other testimony show- ing that Buckley had possession of the re- turns together with L. M. Martinet for the purpose of transmitting them to the Registrar of Voters and the Board of Election Commissioners, Witnesses were introduced to prove the time that elapsed | between the moment that Buckley and Martinet left the voting booth and the de- livery of the returns to the Registrar. After hearing the evidence and compar- ing the handwriting on the falsified re- turns with the handwriting of Buckley, a jury and Judge Walluce's department of the Superior Court decided that Buckley was the person who did the work. and re- turned a verdict of guilty. Judge Wallace reiused 10 grant a new trial. An appeal was taken to the Suprems Court, and on the 1st of last month an opinion reversing the judgment of the lower court was handed down, signed by Justice Temple and_concurred in by Jus- tices Van Fieet, Henshaw, McFariand, Harrison and Garoutte. Justices McFar- land, Harrison and Garoutte wrote sep rate ovinions on matters not altogether covered by the opinion written by Justice Temple. It was not held by the Bupreme c?uln that any error ot law occurred at the trial. When the remittitur was presented by Attorneys O'Byrne and Guilfoyle on be- half of Buckley yesterday Judge Wallace availed himseit” of the opportunity to exuress his views in regard to the status of the case. He said that while he holds the Supreme Court and the learned Jus- tices composing it in the highest esteem and respect, yet he felt it his duty 1o refer briefly to the decision of the appellate court in this matier. One point made by the defendant Buck- ley is that he was not given a trial within sixty days of the filing of the indictment or information as provided by the Crimi- nal Code. That guestion was raised at and Judge Wallace ruled that the rale of law which guaranteed a trial to a defendant viihin sixty days apoliea only to defendants who have not within that time obtained a postponement. Such is (he plain provision of the code. Buckley’s case was called for trial within the sixty days, and the prosecu- tion was ready to proceed, but the de- fendant asked for a postponement of one day, and on hisapplication it wa granted. Judge Wallace ruled that after that Buck- ley had no legal right to invoke the sixty- day rale i order 1o secure the dismissul of the charge against him. In commenting on the Supreme Court’s convicted and an appeal is taken ‘to the Supreme Court the rule in_ regard to the presumption of innocence changes. Tuis | must necessarily be so. It has been recoxnized by courts as ele- mental through all the history of criminal jurispradence, said Juage Wallace, yet bere for Lhe first time was the spectacle of the presumption of innocence foliowing the defendant to the appellate court. He could not understand this strange condi- tion of affairs, for he read in the opicion of the Supreme Court that no errors in the law had been commutted in the trial court. Judge Wallaco said he could not ex- actly understand Justice Temnple's re- mark that the conviction of Buckley way an outrage. He did not know of any out. rage in the case, as the trial had been properly conducted, and the jury was composed of citizens of exceptional intel- ligence. A remarkable phase of the matter, ac- cording 1o Judge Wailace's ideas, was that a man o! Justice Henshaw's erudition should have signed the opinion in the Buckley caso, which Le said was a clear divergence from the established rule of law in criminal jurisprudence, and then forty-eight hours later give utterance to the Jearned opinion ‘in ihe Durrant case, which is based on the true theory ot crim- inal law and practice and conforms with the requirements of the cons.itution of California. He was forced to the conclu- sion that the signing of the Buckley opinion by Justice Henshaw was the re- sult of inadverience resulting irom the practice of sending opinions around to the various chambers of Justices for sig- natures in the Supreme Cour: instead of baving the opinions considered at a gen- eral meeting of the Justices. However, it appeared that there was some hope, for as ibe Durrant decision is later than the Buckiey decision, Judge Wailace said it must be accepted that the Buckley case was thereby overruled, and proceeding on that theory he would deny the motion to discharge the prisoner from custody. If the Supreme ‘Court should issue a mandate for the reiease of Buckley that order wouid be obeyed, of course, but until the doctrine laid "down in the Dur- rant case is reversed by ihe appellate court he would not be a party to any such proceeding. The second trial was et down for May 24. —_— ¥ailure of a Saddler. Willlam W. Wade, doins buiness as a sad- dler under the name of Wade & Co., has filed n petition in insolvency.

Troy Conducts a Hot Fight Against Him and Threatens to Carry It to Court. The blackballing of William Fahey threw the lroquois Club into a tumult last evening. Fabey, proprietor of the | Cosmopolitan Hotel and a stanch Demo- crat, duly proposed for membership, came up for election at the meeting of the club st week and four biack balls wers cast against him. Five black balls would have rejected him as & member. Four black- balls—one black ball would have done the same—held the matter suspgnded for a week. The by-laws require that in the mean- time those castiog the black balls must | state their objections in writing to th chairman, and the chairman must make them known to the club, and if there be no other objection he may declare the candidate elected. Of the four who threw the black balls | only one followed the requirements of the constiiution and stated his objections in writing. That one was E. P. E. Troy. Troy did not hesitate at confessing to be the man nor at having his reasons stated ovenly. The reasons, as siated, were that Fahey had not borne a good reputation for honesty in politics during his residence in other portions of the State, and espe- cially he bad fizured discreditrbly “during thatTeign of terror in Fresno that culmi- nated in the McWhirter murder.” The result of the election last week put Fahey on his mettle, and he had been patticularly active during ihe week to meet and overcome the objection to him. Several influential champions of his cause were developed, and the knowledge that the case was to b fought out last night resulted in an unusually large attendance. Walker C. Graves first entered the breach in Fahey’s behalf. He read anum- ber of letters addressed to Fahey from well-known Damocra of the placas where the latter was said to have been in disrepute, as well as from tbis City. When it came his turn Troy insisted that his protest stood, and under the by- laws required thatanother ballot be taken. Chairman Lemmon ruled that. inas- much as three of the four who had cast the biack balis had not fulfilled the re- quirements of the constitution by filing their objections in writing, and that there were no new objections, he would declare the candidate elected. Troy protested. He declared the ruling to be unjust and appealed from the de- c'sion of the chair, holding that he him- seif had given additional reasons why Fahey shoula be rejected, and that this made it mandatory on the chair to call for another election. L. V. Merle hotly answered this state- ment by saying that he also did not be- lieve it was fair. He believed that Troy bad himself cast all four of the black balls. Raymon Robbins and others seconded the appeal. Robbins made a speech and declared the ruling to be a blow at the fundamental law of the club; that the president should have asked if there were any other reasons before ruling that there were none. Theqaestion was put and the chair was sustained amid much excitement. Troy insisted that the proceeding was filegal and said flatly that he would take the matter into the courts. Fahey had been in the anteroom during most of the discussion and was called in and introduced. In responding to calls for a speech he made quite a feeling adaress. He said that he had been oiten asked lodjoin the club, and finally in response had allowed his name to be presented. He ‘was much surprised at the opposition pro- voked and knew no causs forit, for he would challenge any man, he said, to show any proof of a dishonest or discredit- ableact in his life. He would not for $1000 have had this contest occur, but it haa developed more friends than he was aware he had in the organization. e had made a fight against those who opposed him, but now that he had won he would not promise to remain in the ciub. The litile speach was well received. After the club adjourned he nvited all bands down to his place on Mission street. WATOHING FUBLIO BUILDINGS.
