And Strangely Ewough He De- clines to Be His Own Witness \ Attorney Hinkle Comes to Grief in Casting Insinuations Upon Mr. Shortridge. A quality that nobody believed Judge | J. C. B. Hebbard guilty of during the last campaign he displayed to s most surpr ing degree yesterday. When the moment for him arrived to iake the witness-stand to vinaicate himself of the various criticiams that have bsen passed of his meritsas a politician and a candidate for the bench arrived he was modesty itselt in declining the opporiunity. As a ree | cially such _a *noble, honest citizen as Judge J. C. B. Hebbara.” Hinkle began by reading Marriott’s ed- itorial criticizing Hebbard’s candidacy, during the last campaign, to the jury. The News Letter proprietor, the Assistant D strict Attorney said, had pieaded not guilty to the charge of libel, and it then devoived upon him to justify his opinion as expressed in his paper. Hebbard was 2 candidate for re-election, and it was for the jury to decide if the 'motive of the eaitorial was to defeat his success at the polls. Practically the whole case was connected with the failure of ths Peo- ple's Home Savings Bank and subse- quent litigation, and accordingly Hinkle proceaded to recite his version of that piece of history. The defense, continued Hinkle, turned on the declaration that Sheehan and Watt had “connived and logrolled” to get con- trol of the bank. Hinkle began to warm up. He was fear- ful that in his admiration for Judge Heb- bard his heart might get the better of his head, so he said, and provably it was this misguided fervor that got him into trou- ble a few minutes later. He began reeling off the virtues of Shee- han, Watt and Hebbard in a manner that would have given a phonograph apoplexy, and when he got tangled up 1n the various items of the receiver’s schedule of the bank’s assets his words came vituperative and abuse-logged. There were references to “Delmas and Shortridge, the attorneys for the Dick McDonald board of director: unwarranted and insulting insinuation that they had, as attorneys for the bank, retaioed in their possession a note from C. A. Swanberg for $40,000, which Receiver Sheehan could not find in the bank’s assets. Mr. Shortridge was on his feet in a mo- ment to resent the insult. Hinkle knew, said Mr. Shortridge, that the reflections meant 10 be conveyed were WEDDING BELLS AING JOYFULLY Nuptials of Miss Whitelaw | and Mr. Walter N. Brunt.

Judge Seawell Officiates at the Wed- ding of Miss Agnes Smedberg and Max Rosenfeid It sesmed as if all the hothouses of this City had yielded up their fairest blossoms to decorate the altar of the First Congre- gational Church last evening for the nuptials of Miss Margaret E.

WALTER N. BRUNT and the Beautiful At'endants of the Fair Bride. sult the Marriott libel case slipped along to the closing hours as if oiled. | The afternoon saw the delivery of the opening argument by Assistant District At- | It was marked by a rather torney Hinkle, sensational incident. Hinkle abused court- room courtesy to such an extent as to cast insinuations on the professional character of the defendant’'s counsel, which the lawyer resented indignantly ana with withering contempt. As soon as the court opened in the morning Mr. Shortridge made a request for the w hereaboutis of John Gamage, who was Hebbard’s private detective during the last campaign. He learned that the detective had disappeared. Police Officer Klint, who had attempted to serve the subpena, reported that his game had “gone to Sacramento” and his return was a matter of doubt. Mr. Short- ridge thought this rather singular, inas- much as the detective had been in' daily attendance on the irial until the word went out that he was to be called as a witness. Hebbard had promised to have Gamage in court. “*As we cannot find this witness and as 1do pot wish to delay matters, we rest our case,” said Mr. Shortridge. It was now the turn of Judge Hebbard 10 cover himself with glory in rebuttal, and court and jury prepared for the or- deal. Attorney Kahn neld a consuitation with his client and then District Attorney Hinkle was tagen into the deliberations. Receiver Sheehan and James Alva Watt soon joined the circle, but still the ex- vected did not happen. No intimation of the sudaen climax that was at band was | given as Sheehan was asked to take the | stand and pay tribute to his brilliant | record as receiver of the People's Home | Savings Bank. Attorney Kahn tried to make the way easy by asking questions that covered pretty nearly everytuing in the encyclopedia. First Kahn was for baving him tell of his acquaintance with. Marriott and of his dealings with Percy Goldstone, an adver- tising solicitor of the News-Letter. Gold- stone had once called upon Sheehan to solicit a “write-up’’ of some kind orother and things were progressing very nicely. Where this line of inquiry would have stopped 1 a matter of conjecture had not Mr. Shoriridge protested against it as very remote from the case. Judge Dainger- field ordered it stricken from the record, and a new start was made. Kahn had 8heehan relate how courteous he had been to the depositors, and every- body else for that matter. The details of bis discharge were not touched upon. Sheehan declared he had turned over every bit of the bank’s property to the | directors before he asked for his walking card, though for some reason he forgot to recail the protests of Attorneys Spelling and Bartnett against his release by Judge Hebbard until he had made a prover ac- counting. Kahn piloted him safely also around morerocks. There was the famous chapter related by Edward Livernash of the Examiner, who, as attorney for R. H. McDonald, was not allowed to vote 2100 shares of stock at the stock- holders’ meeting of the bank in July, 1894. Livernash had related on the stand thut it was through Sheehan and Watt's manipulations that the stock that had been trapsferred to nim in behalf of the depositors was tied up and jugglea into temporary uselessness. Livernash’s story nad been one of the sensational incidents of the case, yet not a word did Sheehan in reference to it. Evidently d apple which he decided to leave severely alone. The reading of Sheehan’s list of assets, which he turned over to the bank aiter his receivership, followed, and Sheehan tuok his seat. Then it was that the sunouncement was made by Attorney Kahn tnat he “rested his case,”” much to everybody'’ surprise. Judge Hebbard bad declined to take the stand! The jury then went to lunch in order to prepare itself for the arguments of the lawyers. Assistant District Attorney Hinkle had the afternoon 1o himselt to explain to the jury what s vicious thing it was to criticize a political candidate, and espe- not in accordance with facts. He knew they were absolutely unfounded and un- qualifiedly false. Hinkle began to quibble, when he was interrupted by Mr. Shortridge, who in- dignantly exciaimed: %I won't permit any living man to make any such false insinuation about me as this person has done as long as thereisa drop of blood in my body.” Judge Daingerfield attempted to calm the storm by expressing a fear that Hinkle’s “‘continuity of thought might be interrupted.” Mr. Snortridge, bowever, said he cared nothing for the continuity of Hinkle’s thoughts. “Will your Honor,” he said, “‘sit here and allow me to be insulted in this manner by counsel to whom I have al- ways extended the utmost courtesy? You may remain silent; I will not. I will resent here or elsawhere such false, vile and undignified reflections on my character. Surely it is due the dignity of this court and the profession tbat such vile slanders shall not be allowed to %o unanswered and unrebuked. I pro- test against this infamous insinuation on beualf of the defendant, and as for myself I will answer it in due and at the proper time.” A Hinkle made an attempt to jostify his conduct by declaring he was proceeding according to the record. The argument was concluded without further incident. Court adjourned until9:30 this morning, when Mr. Bhortridge wiil deliver his ar- gument in behalf of Mr. Marriott, after which Kahn will close for Hebbard and the case go to the jury. OLASS OF '77.
