2 1 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MAY 18, 1897. COURTSHIP, CIGARETTES ND PESOS A Second-Hand Account of the Wooing of Barillas. LIKE A PRINCE IN THE STORY. Attorney Dimond Relates Miss Blair’s Story of Her Wrong. BELIEVED SHE WAS BASELY DECEIVED. The Part Ribas Played in the Dram: of the Coff:e Millionaire’s Love-Making. With all his pesos and acres of coffee General Manuel L. Barillas was not a model Lothario—that is, of course, if one is disposed to believe the story of his love- making second-handed. He had a habit of tossing cigarette stumps playfully over the carpet of his inamorata, when a less e lover would have probably laid hem carefully on the piano to the an- sh of the varnish and the servant girl. possibly they do things differently in Central America. t of his generosity no criticism can be made, and in a liberality that scatters diamonds and dollars broadcast small de- tails of etiquette in winning hearts may be imately excused. For in the squabbie tbat has arisen between Henry P. Dimond and Miss an Biair, and various Jawyers on either side, there is a unan- imity of opinion on the subject of the “'general’s” lavish and princely manner esents right and left. r Ribas, who is after Dimond’s becanse the lawyer dare refer to hium botel runner,” avows there is no man living than the Guatemalan -President.

Blair, her sister and her mother have only bouquets of good thines for the man who beiriended them. The only hitch seems to be that Barillas is out of reach of sub- pena or attachments, and the only bone left for the lawyers to growl over isthe relic of his heart-breaking amours in this City. ‘*Alas andalack a aay, werehe only here pow,’’ is the only dirge all hands are singing. i The case has resolved itself into a sort of smoking out affair, a still hunt for a fibber, and each side is out for a vindica- tion at the hands of the public. Di- mond and his lawyers declare Miss Blair has given them the ‘‘double cross,”’ and Milton Eisner and Louis Hirach taik darkly of a blackmailing conspiracy. The affidavit period has been reached. Dimond got first inning yesierday and told many of the details of the wooing of Barillas by means of an interpreter and a | Of course the lawyer was | dictionary. only reciting the narrative as he declared he bad heard it from Miss Biair. The deposition was made in the law offices of Reinstein & Eisner, and all par- ties except Louis Hirsch had foregathered 10 hear it. Miss Blair, her sister, Mrs. Mamie Phillips, and her mother, Mrs. Blair, supported Attorney Eisner, who played tne part of cross-examiner. At- torneys Crittenden, Thornton and Henry Ach flanked Dimond, and Attorney Metzer acted as Mentor to Eisner. A peppery politeness pervaded Tne lawyers countered and fenced with chile con carne circumspectness. Ouce they disagreed on the meaning of the word “Mrs.” as used on an envelope the millionaire had sent to Mrs. Blair. Attorney Dimond, who wa« reading the letter to the shorthand reporter as an ex- bibit, called it “Mistress.” Eisner would not have it this way at all: It was “Missus,” and he vigorously objected to such misinterpretation of any records. They fought it out on ‘‘Mistress” and “Missus” dictionary. Dimond was, of course, justifying his action in bringing a suit for $10,000 against Miss Biair; not that he expects any judg- ment for his pains; he is simply, he says, exposing the perfidy of the young woman, and Eisner in turn declares he is going to expose Dimond. Everyboay cour:s the fullest investigation excepting Miss Blair. But the lawyers will not permit her to be the mummy at the feast. She is going to Mhs‘ the room. | until the referee called fora | digested some of the letters he came to the conclusion that Miss Blair had a cause of action. Ona second interview he accepted the case, on a_contingent fee of one-half the damages obtained. Ribas was not a persona grata in the coartship, notwithstanding his useful- ness as interpreter, according to Dimond. | Miss Blair, so the lawyer said, spoke of him auring the interview as “that dirty old Ribas,’ and subsequently Miss Blair referred to him as a *-nake in the grass’ and a devil. When the expected remit- tances from Earillas during his trip to Europe failed to arrive, Dimond declared the Blair family intimated that Ribas was pocketing the money intended ior them. But Ribas bad his uses, When the ceneral wanted a nice dinner the interpreter was commissioned 10 order it at tbe Palace Hotel and see that it reached the Blair home. And when that Deimonico dinner was over Ribas trans- lated the feelings of the Central American in this way: “He admires you; he is very much inlove with you and desires to make vou his wife.” At least that was how Dimond declared Miss Blair said it was done. Miss Blair kept companr with Barillas | from June to Augus:, when the coffee | baron left for Europe. Then came rumors | to ber of “another girl,” and then it began to dawn upon uer that she had been de- serted. Eisner asked Dimond if Miss Blair had not told him she knew that Barillas was | married. | “Sue did not,” was the reply. *‘She | told me she believed him a widower. He bad once pulled out a letter at the dinner table, which he said was from his daugh- ter. After that she never reierred to his domestic life, believing him, so she said, to be a widower. She wished to keep their engagement a secret, if possible, and only two or three relatives knew of it. A | voung lieutenant, who was calling on her, broached the matter one night.” Dimond went again to the beginning of his tale. | Blair, brought about by vr.

The newspaper man thought that he merely had a nice society story in pickle and waited for de- velopments. Some weeks later, at a time which now seems to be after the timepiece revelation, the newspaper man met Dr. Uranz on the street and said, “Well, Doc, how about that big wedding story ?”” +‘Ob, that's all off,”” said the dentist with a gesture of indifference, “it's all off. Notning is going to come of it after all, 1 guess. Now this “‘society” story is out at last. — MEMORIAL DAY. Proparations for Its Elaborate Colebra- tion by G. H. Thomas Post.

Budd Visits the Place Where Blanche Lamont Was Murdered. Guided by Chief Lees, He As- cends to the Belfry of Emmanuel Church, A Visit Paid to Mrs, Caroline Leake, Wto Was an Important Wit- ness in the Trial. Governor Budd, recognizing that execu- tive clemency alone can save Durrant from the gallows, is making a thorough study of the Emmanuel Church tragedy. It is not unusual for e Governor to review the testimony and proceedings of a mur- der trial when he holds tke life of a con- demned man in his hands, butlawyers note that it is a departure irom the nsual custom in Caiifornia for a Governor to travel over the scene of crime with the police detectives, interview witnesses and talk to the lawyers in the case. Governor Budd is doing all this in open daylight, to satisfy his own conscience, perhaps, and to convince the people that his action, when taken, whatever it may be, was founded on an intelligent and careful consideration of the case. It is the rule for the judicisl branch of the fMiss Litwan 7 7. have the star’s place in the drama, no odds how the wind-up comes. For was it not she that the Central American laid siege to, and, after all, that's the pith of the stary, let the attorneys caterwau! as they will: Matters were opened by Dimond recit- ing that he was born in Keokuk, lowa, studied law in San Jose, incorporated a vapor-engine company, became a partner with Barclay Henley and finally went it alone about two years ago. Dr. E, F. Perrault introduced him to Miss Blair and Mrs. Phillips last December, and then for the first time the lawyer declared that he neard the story of Barillas’ wooing and heartbreaking. As he got it from the woman's own lips it was something in this wise: Some time last June Ribas ap- proached the cashier’s kiosk in Gunst's cigar--tore under the Baldwin Hotel and asked Miss Blair’s permission tointroduce his friend, General Barillas, to her. The introduction followed, so did flowers and bouquets. The Guatemalan was an ar- dent lover. Two weeks from that time he invited her to the Delmonico restaurant to dinner, and in_the course of the feast declared his passion and asked her to be- come his wife, or rather Ribus did, which was the same thing, for Barillas couldn’t speak English and Miss Blair was at sea in Spanish. Ribas was mutual translator of the feelings of the lovers, and after champagne it w rranged that the wooer nterpreter should call next day and make peace with the mother of the fiancee. Mrs, Blair had just returned from Uxiab and at first was not inclined to look with favor on ths turn affairs had taken, but after hearing Ribas she was won over to the cause and congratulations, tears and a blessing followed. Eisner was for details and he wanted to hear every word that had passed between Dimond and Miss Blair in Perrault’s office. Dimond went over his narrative step by step. At his first interview with Miss Blair and her sister, they produced Lhe evidence of Barillas’ protestations of love in the shave of forty-eight letters, half English, hali Spanish, and seven photographs. These Dimond duly pro- duced and Eisner demanded them. Ach, however, supercillously exacted a promise that they would be returned. Everyboay seemed suspicious, ana in the end Dimond resolved to hang on to these exhibits, and contented himself with expressing his willingness to read their contents into the record, These little aifficulties temporarily ad- ju:ted, Dimond went back to the thread of his narrative. He did not like the look of the case at first, but afier he had - [TRs Bl — The Four Central Figures in es [larnE Frners - th: Echo of G:n:ral Bailes’ Wooing of a Cigar-Store Cashier. $300. Bhe spoke of the general lit- tering her carpets with cigarette stumps after a dinner downtown. Again she re- ferred to his leaving her house in tears and almost falling down the steps into the hands of a backman. I believed tbat she was a wronged woman. I marveled that Barillas was big enough fool to put himself in black and white, wnen 1 read the letters she gave me.”’ “Dia you ask Miss Blair if she had 1sked Mr. Gunst if Barillas was a married *‘She did not. She referred me to Gunst as u reference and he toid me she was an innocent girl. She told me that the boys at the cigar-store ‘joshed’ her about her acquaintance with the general, but as she was a favored em ploye she soon shut them up.” “You knew that Miss Blair, as cashier in a cigar-store, was in the habit of meet- ing meh of the world? Did it not strike vou as peculiar tbat she would not learn that Barillas was married in some way?" “No and yes,” answered D.mond. *I believed these people lived a seciuded life. I realized that they were in straitened circumstances—they told me they worked in cigar-stores and restaurants for $6 a week—ihat_their social station was not such as to bring them into contact with men of the world.” And thus Dimond continued. He told of stories of dinners at the Palace and rides to Peralta School, where the general had paid for a year's schooling for Miss Blair's prother. Miss Biair, so Dimona said, believea Barillas worth $15,000,000. and it was first proposed to sue for $250,- 000 damages on a double charge of breach of promise and betrayal. The particulars of the division of the damages followed. A few days prior to his return from Europs Miss Blair sent her lover a gold matchbex, which he failed to receive. The present was returned to the giver by the postoffice authorities, and at the con- clusion of the proceedings Dimond pro- duced it as one of his exhibits. At Miss Blair's request it was reiurned to her. Inside the box was a card upon which the voung woman had inscribed her love for the Guatemalan 1n this wise: Mi Manuel, mi vida, mi alma, ni_predilecto, acceptor este en senal, de en Prueba de amor despuses. Proprio, LILLIAN. Attornev Thornton was ungallant enough to say that Miss Blair had re- course to a dictionary to produce this effusion. The word ‘‘acceptor,’’ he said, shouid be “‘acceptador’” and the transia- tion would then be in this wise: My Manuel, my life, my soul, my beloved fiancee, this1s a siga of in proof of love besides. Thine own, LILLIAN. Attorney Dimond said that an agres- ment had at one time been reached to compromiss for $20,000 on tne principle that half a loaf is ‘better than none. Barillas had no property that could be levied on and there might be difficulty in collecting a large judgment. The deposition Wwill be continued at1l o’clock this afternoon. TR A “Soclety” Story Off and Out. One of the bits of gossip related to this juicy scandal which floated about yester- day came from the reminiscent tongue of an old and well-known newpaper man of the Rialto. He knew Dr. Cranz, the en- terprising dentist in the case, and the doctor cheerily told him one day that he would have a good story to give him soon. | retarv), F. L. Turpin, Colonel W. L.

A Few Days Ago 20 Per Cent Roi:- surance Was Paid on Her De ayed by Calms. Arthur Sewell's big four-masted steel ship Dirigo is riding safely at anchor in the bay off the foot of Vallejo-street wharf. The vessel had been given up ior lost, be- ing twenty or thirty days overdue, but as the underwriters were willing to gamble on her fate 20 per cent reinsurance was paid on her in Liverpool a few days ago. Prior to her arrival in this port last evening the last sesn of the Dirigo was in latitude 56 deg. south, 6i deg. west, when she was passed by the British ship Howth. The Howth arrived here thirty days ago, and as her captain told a story of a terrific burricane he encoun- tered rounding the Horn, it was pre- sumed that the Dirigo foundered in that storm. ‘I see no reason why much uneasiness shou!d have been entertained over the fate of the Dirigo,” said E. 8. Klwell, first mate of the vessel, last night. “In this season of the year 150 days isa fast p: sage for n sailing-ship from New York, and we were out 172 duys. For a trip around tne Horn our voyage was un- eveniful, **Shortly before we reached the Horn on the Atlantic side the first accident of the trip occurred. John Leonard, a sailor, fell from the topgallant halliards to the deck ana fractured his skull. He was carefully treated by Dr. Haig of Bostor, who is traveling on the Dirigo for bis health, but he died in a few days and we buried him at sea. A few days after Leonard’s death we ran into the storm encountered by the Howth. ‘‘For three days the hurricane raged and we were frequently on our beam ends. The cargo of merchandise and railroad iron shifted, and it took tw days to trim it. We lost several sails, but no serious damage to the vessel resulted. When the zale subsided we were lefs with hardly enough wind to fill our sails, and that condition of affairs prevailed during the Test of the frip.’” —————————— MORTON SPECIAL DELIVERY.

Government to determine by proceedings in court the guilt or innocence of one a cused and for the executive branch to ex- tend mercy if it can be extended without detriment to the cause of justice. Yesterday forenoon the Governor went to the City Hall and there met Chief Leex. The two went in a buggy to Emmanuel Church. Others joined the party at the church, among them District Attorney W, S. Barnes; Eugene Deuprey, counsel for Theodore Durrant; Rev. J. George Gib- son, pastor, and Mr. Taber,a trustee of the’ church. Deteéiive Seymour was on the premises when the Governor and Chief arrived. Mr. Deuprey was not apprised by the Governoror Chiefof Police of the proposed visit, and therefore joined the party on his own motion, He observed that the Governor was diligent and thorough in his inspection of the scene, and noted alsn that the Chief Executive talked but little beyond asking questions. When Chief Lees saw tbe reporters at the church he expressed surprise and feigned indignation. fe is quoted as baving made the remark that the report- ers had no business there. Pastor Gibson was in his study when the aelegation visited the church, but he preferred to remain in theseclusion which his study grants. Immediately atter the party entered the church and barred the door a start was made for the belfry. They first went to the library on the first floor, where Dur- rant, according to the theory of the detec- tives, murdered the girl. The Governor paused to make a thorough investigation. District Attorney Barnes explained the route to the executive. , The party then proceeded to the audi- torium, Chief Lees leading the way to the gallery and up the stairs, where it is sup- posed the body of the murdered girl was dragged. Here the Governor halted to ob- serve everything and listen to Chief Lees. By this time District Attorney Barnes had “bellows to mend’’ and Chief Lees was ob'iged to do most of the talking. Meanwhile Detective Sevmour remained downstairs to guard the door. At the landing where the body of the girl was found, the Clief of Police told the Chief Executive how the murderer had disposed of the victim. From the landing the route which Durrant is supposed to have pursued was followed. The climbers climbed to the top of the beliry. They went ov T the ceiling and over the rafters to the top of the sun-burners which fig- ured in the trial. 3 Then they wended their way.to the rear of the church, down the stairs and into the Sunday-school room, where George King, the organist, was playing the piano when Durrant entered the room and ac- counted for his abrupt appearance by saying that he was repairing the gas fixtures. The Governor here paused a long time and reflected. Chief Lees then began at the beginning and told the story over_ again, refreshing the Governor’s mind witn details upon details. After an hour’s investigation inside the ty emerged from the church and all ve Mr. Barnes went across the street, here Mrs. Caroline Leake resides. The District Attoruey was too much exhausted to go further. Governor Budd was anxious to talk face to face with Mrs. Leake for the reason that she is the witness who swore posi- tively that she saw Theodcre Durrant and Blanche Lamont enter the side of the * | charch on the afternoon that the girl was NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS.

The Governor asked Mrs- | Leake several questions and then went to the window to find ont for himself if one could distinctly +ee the eateway from the window of the Leake residence. Mrs. Leake reiterated her statement that she had told the truth and the Gov- ernor seemed to be deeply impressed by ber assertions. From Mrs. Leake's house Governor Buda, accompanied by the Chief of Police, went to Mrs. Crossett’s house at Tweaty- fifth street and San Jose avenue. Mrs. Crossett was a witness at the trial. She rode on a Valencia-street car with Durrant and Miss Lamont. The Governor intends to investigate still urther.

Judge Hunt Refuses to Separate lsa- belia and Richard Willlams. Judge Hunt yesterday handed down a decision in the divorce case of Isabella N Williams against Richard 8. Willlams, which was a surprise and disappointment to both parties to the litigation. Mrs. Williams sued for a divorce on the ground of cruelty, and proved that her husband had been extremely cruel at dif- ferent times. He filed e cross-complaint, demanding a divorce on similar grounds of cruelty. In tbe course of the trial it was shown that Mrs. Williams drew a pistol and tried 10 shoot her husband on a streetear, and that she said she was sorry she failed to kill him. The court weighed all the facts, aud finding that both had been at fault ae- cided that neither is entitled to a divorce, and so they must continue in their rela- tion of husband and wife, no matter how irgsome the yoke may be. pifiin e o COMPANIONS OF THE FOREST. on of the Supreme Circle of California.
