THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MAY 6 1897. THE ECHO PROVE VERY (PLEASANT Hebbard’s Attorneys Are Fighting to Shut Out Evidence. LIVERNASH’S STORY NOT RELISHED. Interesting Side Lights on the Doings of Sheehan and Watt MORE TALES GF FINANCIAL HODGE - PODGE. The Battle for Free Speech Has Developed Into a Prize Attraction for Spectators. Metaphorically speaking there appear to be quills on Edward J. Livernash, Judge J. C. B. Hebbard and his attorney surveyed the newspaper man very criti ally yesterday afternoon, and concluded immediately that he was a legal porcu- pine which they were not quite ready to quill. This rather upset the programme in more ways than one in the Marriott libel case. It was not Livernash’s fault. He was in court for sacrifice at the appointed hour, but at the last moment Attorney Julius Kahn and Assistant District Attor- ney Hinkle concluded to postpone matters for a day or two at least. He desired further consultation with his client's friends, ex-Receiver John F. Sheehan of the People’s Home Savings Bank and b dentizl and trusted friend, Jam Watt. ‘The lawyer was protuse with excuses. Judze Hebbard, -0 had John F.

As a resuit, the case is proceed- ing slowly. Benjamin F. Lucy, who was the first witness of the day, <aid that just a few days previous tothe time when Hebbard procured the indictment of the membera of the depositors’ committee, who issued a circular opposing his candidacy for re- election to the bench, he was approsched at his place in the shops of the Union Iron Works by John Gamage, a private detective in Hebbard's employ. Gamage acted mysteriou but finaliy requested Lucy to call at the office of Attorneys W. T. Bazgett and henry Eiwckoff. It was the insi and “creat: a sort of fool's errand, thought the toun- | dryman, and he paid no_attention to the detective’s request. When Attorney Shortridge attempted tc establish the fact that both Baggett and Eickoff were attor- neys for Hebbara he stirred up a veritable hornets’ nest. A. B. Fraesch, another committeeman, related the efforts of the committee to s cure the election of a board of directors favorable to the interests of the depos- itors. After the memtere of the old board bad signified their intention to step down and our the depositor's committee met and canvassed various names as their suc- cessors. The seiections being made, Fraesch smd application was made to | Judge Hebbard to moaify the injunction, but with no effect. Attorney Snortridge desired to draw from the witness the various manipulations of Sheehan and Watt to thwart the wishes of the depog- ftors. This was a tender spot to Judge Hebbard. and Attorney Kahn succeeded in baving this portion of an interesting story shut off. The atiempt of Hebberd and Sheehan to break into the meeting of the bank ue- positors at the Bush-street Theater on the Saturday evening preceding the last elec- tion was the reason for the appear- ance on the -stand of Andrew E. Jankins, who was the doorkeeper on the occasion, and the cause of many 1 ruptions on the part of Kuhn. Entrance to the meeting was by bankbook, and sup- posed to be confined to depositors. Shee- han and Sam K. Thorntou put in an ap- pedrance first and presented bankbooks which, according to Jenkins, were ‘'so new as to excite his suspicions” that everst was not right. A few mo- ments jater Judge Hebbard came along and beckoned to Serzeant Cook for a private conference. Afier some parley- ing Cook assiste ebvard through the door in spite of Jenkins’ protest. “I asked him for his bank book,” said Jenkins, “*but he waved me uside under the protection of the police sergeant and passed in." Attorney Shortridge, after elicitine the information toat Hebbard had no right in the meeting, made an effort to have Jenkins repeat the attempts of Hebbard’s friends to break up the meeting, but this was such an unpleasant narrative to Kahn that Judge Daingerfield granted his re- quest to stop the testimony. Henry S. Stedman was one of the three depositors who were induced by Sscretary | C. E. Palmer to siga a petition in_Shee- than’s bebalf to retain him as receiver in | spite of the protest of the majority of those who bad money in the bank. Sted- man subsequently, upon lefrning for what purpose bis signature had been se- cured, wrote a letter to Judge Hebbard, informing bim that he wished to with- draw his name. Stedman had no copy of He had been very busy, so had | twenty-four hours | hours to | aratory to their | eresting and reada- | cause of | Somenow | the communication, and, as Kahn de- clared Hebbard did not remember receiv- ing it, further inquiry along thess lines ceased. Attorney John L. Flournoy was called for, but could not be found. Kahn was for preventing Flournoy from testifying if his story was simply to corroborate the narratives of Committeemen McCarthy and Conant relauve to Sheeban’s man- agement of the bank's assets. Judge Daingerhieid was for ruling that if thig was the case Flournoy need not be heard Attorney Shortridge, however, curtly in- formed the court that he would exercise bis right to bave his witnesses sworn. By stipulation Thomas Mahoney, William Harris and Willlam Quaunan were ex- cused from being calied, tha Hebbard faction agreeing that their evidence would corroborate that of McCarthy and Conant. Thomas 8. Williams Jr., one of the directors of the bank, was cailed to tell something about the circumstances a tending a transaction between the Kansas City Real Estate Association and the bank, in which Watt was paid $250 for an exten- sion of time on the association’s indebted- ness of $35,000. Anotber protest went up from the Heb- bard faction. Judge Daingertield asked if it was proposed to prove that Judge Hebbard knew of this transaction. **We are accused,” said Attorney Bhort- ridge, “in our alleged libel of saying that Judge Hebbard’s naction caused widows and orphans to lose money., We are pre- pared to show that the assets of this bank were depreciated. We will prove that this took place with the knowliedge of Judge Hebbard, who, as we contend, was morally responsible for the action. Now, if it be true that through Sheenan there wasa loss to the aepositors, and that this was done after Judge Heobard had been ad- vised of and warned against his servant’s doings, by open letter, resolutions and pe- titions, we may contend thet he is mor- ally responsible for the losses of tae bank.’’ “Do you know if Sheehan, as receiver, drew money without an order of cour:?” Kahn interposed an objection with suc- cess. Attorney Shortridge desired to learn if Williams knew that Sheeban had been aliowed money by Judge Hebbard, which action the Supreme Court declared null and void. Also Attorney Kahn would not see his client impaled in this manner. He objected with both hands at once, ard Judge Daingerfield would fain grant his | request. “Do you know if Recelver Sheehan drew money from the bank’s assets be- fore authorized to do so by either Judge H-board or theboard of directors?"” Kahn was shocked again, and the court poured more balm in his nerves by refusing to permit Williams to answer the question. It was slow work, but Attorney Shor ridge finally drove a center shot when he inquired from Williams if he thougnt that Judge Hebbard was aware of these facts. “Certainly,” was the reply. ‘‘Attorney Bartnett, in behalf of the California Safe Deposit and Trust Company, objected to | allowing Sheehan money in his court.” | Assemblyman George W. Dixon was called to give the aetails of a certain in- terview between himself and Attorney Watt_in the Union League rooms at the time Dixon was selected as a candidate | for director by the depositors. “Did Watt ask you to retain him as at- | torney for the bank?’ queried Attorney | Shortridge. 7 | Kann disputed the question. | | *‘Did be likewise ask you to vote for his retention as attorney for the bank Kahn again successtully *“objected.” “Did Watt say that vou did not favor Sheehan and himself—that he would see that the injunction was not modified, and that the oid board would not beallowed to resign?"’ The reply to t Hebbard's attorney managed to prevent. Dixon could not re- member 1f at this time Judge Hebbard had been asked to modify the injunction | allowing Directors McDonald, Jenkins, trauss and Boushey to resign,as they de- sired to. Watt's poiiiical afliliations for Hebbard were famihar to Dixon. He knew that the two had long been friends and active workers in campaigns. “Did Watt say that he was a particn- larly warm friend of Judge Hebbard, and that unless e was provided for he would use his uence with the Judge to pre- vent a modification of the injunction?’” This was a red rag to Kabn and Heb- bard, and a lively wrangle ensued to pre- vent' Dixon giving his replv. Judge Daingerfield finally sustained Kahn’s ob- ons and Dixon was dismissed without further examination. | Judge S. C. Denson gave some side lights | on a transaction between himseif and the bank in September, 1894, Judge Denson, as attorney for the Lower Kings River Reclamation District, got a judgment in | default of unpaid assessments, amount- ing with interest to sbout $2500, against a Mrs. Humphreys. Avout the same time the bank foreclosed a mortgage for $20,000 on the same property. The affair was ar- ranged amicably by selling the property for the amount of the two claims. Judge Denson related that after the bank failed be setiled his claim for $1800. | Attorney Sbortridge was anxious to | show that'the books of the bank showed | that $2500 had been diverted to pay the reclamation judgment, but again Kahn threw himself in the breach, and the jurors will have to wait another day to learn what became of the difference be- tween these two sums. The refusal of Hebbard’s attorneys to cross-examine Livernash at the appointed time was the cause of much confusion. Attorney Shortridge expected that this work weuld occupy the entire afternoon and had excused many of his witnesses. Judge Daingerfield promised that such a hitch would not be aliowed to occur again. After searching for Deputy County Clerk zgerald about the City Hall, only to learn he was ‘‘downtown,” Attorney Shortridge put Dr. Frea W. Harris on the stand to relate Watt's attempt 10 swing the physician’s inflnence in favor of him- self and Bheevan. | “'Did you have aconversation with Watt | in June, 18942 ‘Watt called to see me.” “Had you at that time consented to | serve as a director in the bank if the in- junction was modified so as to allow the | old board to resign 2’ | e mtcr | “Di att ask of you your vote or in- ‘ fluence in Sheeban’s favor if elected?” Kahn objected. “Did he say that unless you did consent to act favorably to the interests of Shee- | han and himself he would. ‘see to it | that his influence with Judge Hebbara | yrouid prevent the injunction befng modi- | _Kahn again made a protest and Judge | Daingerfield would not allow the ques- | tion.

The old-time steamer Sirius has taken a new lease of hife and a new captain is in command of her. Several years ago she came to this port with a general cargo, and later on was placed in the South American trade. The venture was not a success, and when the vessel changed hands she was rechristened the Scandi- navia. Her next venture was in thesugar trade and her name was changed to the Kahului. The new owners found that there was no money in the island trade, and for nearly a year the steamer nas been tied up in Oakland Creek. Last week she received a thorough overhauling, Captain Hall, late of the Corona, was placed in command of her,'and in a few daysshe will start on the Puget Sound route. She is now under the American flag and will be known in future as the Cleveland. The Lakme will run in connection With the new steamer, and opposition to the Pacific Coast Steamship Company on the Sound route is now in order.

ON THE ENGINE engers Thus Traveling Cannot Re- cover Insurance Against Accidents. Two important questions in regard to life insurance were considered in Judge Hunt's court yesterday during the trial of the case of Mrs. Mary L Berliner against the Travelers’ Insurance Company for $25,000 =aid to be dne because of insurance on the life of her late husband. There were two counts in the com- plaint, one for $20,000 on account of an ac- cident policy and another for $5000 on a life policy. In the course of the testimony the fact was developed that Berliner was killed by a railrond accident in Mexico in Decem- ber, 1895, and that at the time of ‘the acci- dent he was riding on the engine. This being shown, the defendant cor- poration moved for a nonsuit so far a the accident policy for $20,000 was con- cerned, on the ground that the engine was not the orainary place’ for a pas- senger, and that Mr. Berliner was not insured against accident except while traveling in the usual way. authorities, Judge Hunt neld that the point was well taken and granted the motion for a nonsuit on the $20.000 claim. In regard to tne claim of $5000 for life insurance an ohjection to paying it was made by W. W. Haskell, a:ent for the company, who swore that there wasno money vaid as premium on the policy. Attorney Daniel Titus showed that the po'icy was delivered to Mr. Berliner, and read a letter which tended to prove that nere was an under<tandine in regard to ziving credit to Mr. Berliner for the remium. Mr. Titus declared that Mr. askell had not given fair testimony in the case, and insisted that the widow was entitled to recover the life insurance. The jury, composed of William J. Arm- strong, 8. N. Wood, Sylvain Levy, E. C. Fowler, Emit Kehrlein, George H. Knight, Theodore P. Schaller, H. H. Heckman Sr., William M. Greenbaum, Cnarles E. Lang, James E.
