) 4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 20 1897. COLONEL FINIGANS PRISON DINNERS How the Rich Man Fares| While in Marin’s Jail. Permitted to Leave His Cell to Partake of Wine Suppers. Judge Angelott! Orders an Investi- gation of the Sherlff’s Conduct. SA proceedings RAFAEL, Can, April 19.—The in the Finigan divorce case were of a decided esting character this morning. Henry Harrison of Marin was before the court to show cause why he should not be adjudged guilty of contempt for violating the order made by Superior Judge ¥. M. Angelotti to confine Millionaire Peter A. ¥ anin the County Jail until he paid $750 alimony and costs to his wife. pending the action for divorce instituted by Mrs, Emily B. Finigan. When the cas2 came up for hearing T. J. Crowley, one of the sattorneys for Mrs. Finigan, and upon whose affidavit Judge Angelotti cited the Sheriff for contempt, read the charges, which he said were a matter of public notoriety. Although Finigan had been ordered confined in the prison the Sheriff had not, Crowley in- sisted, complied with the order, and the millionaire was free to go in and out of the jail to get French dinners at a hotel across the road from the courthouse. District Attorney E. B. Martin lli made a statement on behalt of Sheriff Harrison. He said that while he did appear as attor- ney for Mr. Harrison the Sheriff had re- quested him to state in his behalf that he was extremely sorry that these things had bappened; that since last Friday, when the matter had been brought to his atten- tion, he had locked the millionaire in a cell in the basement of the Courthouse and thereafter the wealthy prisoner had been consiantly under lock and key. The Sheriff, he continued, had no inten- tion of violating the order of the court, and in the future Finigan would be closely confined. Mr. Martinelli then apolozized to the court on behalf of the Sheriff, and said that Mr. Harrison would abide by its decision. Attorney Crowley addressed the court and said ttat he was glad the Sheriff had admitted the facts. While he had no per- sonal feelings In the matter he believed that the order of the court should be complied with. It wasa fact that Mr. Finigan had boasted that he would never pay the alimony, and that he was enjoy - ing himself in the prison. He could have French dinners sent to him, yet ne would not pay the $750 alimony to his wife. The lawyer said that if it was necessarylhe could prove that Colcnel Finizan had eft the County Jail entirely and had gone off with s friends; that the doors were not barred against him, and he was not given a cell in the County Jail, but was occupy- ing a room in the basement of the Court- house. Judge Angelotti said this was one of | the mosi serious charges that could be brought against a county officer. It was | =0 serious that he wouid like a thorough investigation of the charges, and wanted the Sheriff’s deputies examined and also | otiers who could throw light on the | subject. Ii was decided to postpone the hearing until next Monday aiternoon, when the Sneriff could be répresented by an attor- ney. ‘When seen to-day Sheriff Harrison said that he intended to fizht the case; that Finigan had been and was then con- fined in the County Jail proper, and that it was nota room that he occupied, but a cell with iron bars on the window and an iron door such as was on any of thecells in the prison. The same ceil had been occupied by murderers and other crimi- nale, and it was the one in which Lee Doon, the Chinaman who afterward com- mitted suicide by hanging himself, was confined for a time. The Sheriff dis- claims any intention of trifling with the court and now has Coionel Finigan firmly locked up. The millionaire does not complain. He does not think the new order of things will mean his confinement in the haunted cell. For fourteen days he has lived in prison and his health is _in no way im- aired. His dsughters visit him regu- ariy every day and he takes a great inter- est in the affairs of the prison. When a new prisoner is brought in he learns all about him and spends much of his time | in reading. He has the daily papers and copies of the weeklies. When asked when he expects to gain his freedom again he says that there is plenty of time; his at. | torneys will look after his interests and they teil him not to worry, but be patient. “EID” THOMFSON CONVICTED. 1hs Roscoe Train- Wrecker Tife Imprisonment. 1LOS ANGELES, CaL., April 19.—The second trial of “Kid"” Thompson for wrecking a Southern Pacific train at Roscoe, 2 small station noar this city, was concluded this afternoon.

The idea has been voted agood one and is calculated to soon put a stop to the law- lessness of the Sunday crowds which in- fest Sausalito during the summer months.

LOS ANGELES, Car, April 19.—To- day’s session of the fifth annual conven- tion of the California Bankers' Associa- | tion was characterized by an address, by invitation, from John P. Irish, being by | | way of a report of the work of the com- { mittee appointed by the Indianapolis Monetary Conference to urze upon the President and Congress the necessity of some action looking toward a better dis- tribution of money throughout the coun- try. The address was listened to with marked attention and referred to a com- | mittee, The convention is being held in the as- sembly hall of the Concordia Club. Presi- dent Rideout presided. Treasurer George W. Kline of the Crocker-Woolworth Bank made his report to-day, as did also Secretary R. M. Weish of the San Francisco Savings Union. Papers were read by E. B. Pond of the San Francisco Savings Union on “Inter- lest and Taxes”; by Ben C. Wright on | “Currency of the Future'; by Charles Alt- | sctiul of the London, Paris and American Jank on “Popular Prejudices’”; by Hon. | H. W.

Gibbon of the First National Bank of Los | Angeles on “Remedies for Prejudices | Against Banks”; by J. E. Baker of Ala- meda on *“The Banker and the People.” | Colonel Irish was introduced at the | afternoon session. 1In part he said: * | The banking and currency legisiation of this | country since 1862 is the result of emergen- | cles, met by hasty sction. These emergencies have been of various kinds. Some of them arose in the war and the readjustments which followed. The most serious errors, however, | have their radius in emergencies purely par'i- | san. Of these the compromises of the several reftnding acts are examples. The net result of haste and compromise is a | system of financial legislation unbecoming a modern commercial nation. Our National | | banking system has been outgrown as a | s of distributing the surpius capital of | the country with fair equality, and is, by iaw, compelled 10 be an insirumentality for con- tracting the currency at the very time when it shouid be expanded. The vice of the system, | however, by no means closes the eyes of | thoughtful “men to its virtues. It bill- holders sleep in safety while banks fail and the record of liquidations shows a less percentage | of ioss to creditors than under any othber sys- tem we have bad. Wisdom dictates that we | discard the vices of the system and expand its | virtues into a scheme ihat will align with brought out of chaos order and system and stabiiity the most admirable. Iam surs it isa worthy and patriotic ambi- tion that this Republic shail achieve equally Ly striving to attain a currency system in which may be safely expressed the va.ue of every article of commerce, wherever pro- duced We have by far the greatest sea coast and navigable river mileage of any conntry on the plavet. The seas are our highway and cvery busy city that sits on every cosst nd ghore is our commercial field. When our currency and banking are revised and relormed and foreign invoices follow bills of exchange (0 New. York and not to London we will no longer lose half our commercial force in making & vacuum in trade for auother to fill. Mr. Irish said it was these considera- tions that brought the business men, rep- resenting every section of the United States, together at Indianapolis. Men of all sorts of beliefs ou the financial ques- tion were there—iree-silver men, bimeial- lists and yold men—but al! were united in the one belief tnat a plan for a better dis- tribution of the currency must be de- vised; something must be done to render it more flexible. Against his protest he bad been named on the commiltee to carry the matter to Washington. They had been given a patient and sympathetic hearing by the Congressional committees. The President received them cordially and listened for two hours. “We found him standing directly in line with his position as staled in his in- augural address,” said Mr. Irish, “and we rece ved his assurances that, upon the conclusion of the tariff legislation now oc- | cupying the attention of Congress, he | would ‘bring this matter forward in special message. We then had an aud; ence with Secretary of the Treasury Gage. We found him even more eager to se>ure some legislation to this end than we were.”’ In conclusion Mr. Irish expressed a | strong contidence that good results would be shortly forthcoming. He said that the financiers of the East spoke in the highest terms of respect for the wisdom and busi- ness sense and honesty of tie people of Califdrnia, especially as expressed in the recent election. The balance of the afternoon was cons sumed in a discnssion of the propriety of instituting a reform in the matter of hold- ing instead of returning the checks of depositors and correspondents, It was decided to authorize the incoming execu- tive committee to correspond with the National Bankers' Association on the sub- ject. At the session to-morrow morning J. J. Valentine of the Wells-Fargo Bank will read an important paper on “Bimetal- lism.” The officers for the ensuing year will be chosen, the committes on resolu- tions will report and the convention will adjourn.
