8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1897. BARILLAS RISES i IS WRATH Declares He Never Talked Marriage to Miss Blair. Incidentally He Pays His Re- spests to Interpreter Ribas. The Swarthy Don Juan Cannmot Get the *“ Hang” at a Distance of the Present Row. The echoes of the affidavit match now going on between Attorney Henry L. Dimonda and the Bleir family have reached Guatemala. From his coffee plantation the swarthy Don Juan rises to explain that he never contemp!ated marry- ing Miss Blair. It was a mere affair, so to speak. Through tne medium of friends General Barillas has written that heis going to even matters up if any attempt is made to drag him into the squabble. ‘The Guatemalan millionaire evidently does not love Armande Ribas with the fervor the interpreter would have his friends believe. In his letters Barillas in- timates that the Blair breach of promise case, which attorneys once intended bring- ing, was a scheme to lighten his pocket- book, and he intimates that Ribas was the principal in the plot, Miss Blair being, however, a willing and anxious second. When the storm was threatening some weeks ago Ribas hastened to assur: his patron of his friendship, at :he same time declaring that Miss May Taber and her brother-in-law, A. Berans, were tue insti- gators of the plot. Now the tables are turned on tne interpreter. Miss Taber has in her possession his correspondence Barillas, and some comments by the millionaire on Ribas and tbe Blair im- broglio in general. Here is an extract which sums up Barillas’ long-distance your cable, in which au Blair's suit. 1 am find reason for this in . “She has absoutely no ce on her side. I never hers.

I suppose 1 should not lcok so in ently upon the matter and should realize that those who are implicated will stop at nothing. Miss Taber declares that she feels justi- fied in making public General Barillas’ opinion of the scanaal, in view of a long standing friendship with him. She deeply deplores the whole incident and regrets exceedingly that she should have been in any way aragged into it. ©I have no 11! feeling toward any of the actors in_the controversy,” said Miss Taber. ‘-Miss Biair 1do not know, butI bave nothing but the kindest feeling to- ward her. This s not a case of one woman against another. It is an unfortunate affair, and I feel very sorry for everybody who is mixed up in it. My own position consisis in simply being a friend of Gen- eral Barillas. When he came to this City he was lavish in his generosity to all who met him. This confidence has been abused and he was imposed upon, and that is all there is toit.” To-morrow afternoon Louis Hirsch will continue his deposition before Court Com- missioner Lawl-r. TRIAL OF THE MARIETTA. The Official Test Held Yesterday Over the New Course Near Cali- fornia City. The official trial trip of the gunboat Marietta, which has just been completed by the Union Iron Works, was held y terday over the official course near Cal fornia City. Representatives of the United States Board of Inspection and the Union Iron Works were on board. The vessel left the Union Iron Works at 8 o’clock and did not return until late in the afternoon. On the wial trip Tuesday the propellers were standardized—that is, it was deter- mined how many revolutions it was necessary to make per minute in order to send the boat at the required speed of twelve knots per hour. Yesterday the gunboat was run at the required speed for four successive hours, as required by the contract. The exact performance made by the Marietta will not be known for a day or two until the results have been calculated from the data obtained on the several trial tri IRISH NATIONALISTS. The Sarsfield Branch Determines on Renewed Activity. The Barsfield Branch of the Irish Na- tional Alliance held its regular quarterly meeting at K. R. B. Hall last night. The principal business was the election of offi- cers for the ensuing term of one year. This being the second annual election was very lively. The officers elected were as follows: Presidest, D. 8. McCarthy; vice-president, J. Burns; recording secretary, J. 0’Grady : financial'secretary, D. Smyth; ireasurer, S. McQuaid; sergeant-at-arms, F. Mona- han; trustees—P. Walsh, C. D. O’ Neiil and P. Hagan, 1t was decided to hold meetings oftener, and after considerable discussion the first Tuesday of each month was agreed on. A number of committees were appointed for various purposes, among which was one 1o secure picnic grounds. Addresses were made by various speak- ers on the life and times of Wolfe Tone, the depopulation of Ireland under the reign of Queen Victoria, etc., after wh.ch the meeiing adjourned until Tuesday, June 8. .- Kicked by a Horse. Elmer Rasmussen, aged 4 years, living at 2609 Twenty-third street, while playing ina vacant lot at the corner of Twenty-third street and Potrero avenue, was kicked in the fore- head by a horse he was trying to hit witha stick. The chiid was teken to the City and County Hospital. The doctors ihere say he will not recover. SLEPT UNDER THE SAME BLANKETS Alexander Boyd Tells of| His Partnership With Jacob Z Davis. Mined Together oo the Yuba and Made a Fortune as House-Builders. W. G. Dougall Interj:cts a Note of Doubt in the Great Will Contest in Juige C.ff y’s Court. In probate litigation the relations of | counsel are subj-ct to lightning chances, | as was yesterday illustrated in the differ- | ent positions of Atiorneys George A. | Knight and Garret McEnerney, wno while | in Judge Sluck’s court are engaged as ac- tive coadjutors in the Fair cstate contest, but as soon as they walked across the corridor to Judge Coffey’s courtroom, | where the Jacob Z. Davis contest is on | tne last will of Jacob Z. Davis, and that he was engaged in composing it within half an hour of his death. Mr. Mastick prom- ised to produce the paperin court and gave way to Mr. Boyd, the surviving part- ner of the firm of Boyd & Davis. Alexander Bovd testified thathe first met Mr. Davis in the United States navy- { yard at Pensacola, Fia., where thev were both engeged as carpenters at $2 50 a day. While there he learned that Davis’ true name was Dedaker. A man from Phil delphia recognized Davis and told of the change of name. When questioned in re- gard to the matter Davis said that was so, and explained that he changed his name at the suggestion of his mother, in order to escape the clutches of a master carpenter to whom he had been apprenticed and who did not treat him rightly. He did not teach him the trade, was cruel, failed to give him proper food and swindled him in the mat- ter of clothing. Mr. Knight agreed with Mr. Boyd that there was nothing in_the | life nistory of Mr. Davis that coald be spoken to his discreait: that he wasin every respect a good citizen; that he al- ways sent money home to his mother and his aunt Rebecca Mason. A chapter of frontier experience was given by Mr. Boyd. He said that he and Mr. Davis formed their partnership in Fiorida in 1848 and came direct to Caiifor- nia. They went to the mines and dug | gold between the Middle and North forks of the Yuba River. Their gold dust went into one sack: they bached in the same cabin, ate bacon and beans from the same kettle; one pair of blankets covered them both, and they were just like brothers in everything. They were successful in min- ing, and when the autumn freshets washed away their dams they went to Sacra- mento, where they began building houses. In 1861 they were flooded and moved to San Krancisco, where they have since re- mained, and nave been partners ever since. GATHERED WISDOM (MANY OARS WiLL 1§ SACRED HEART Fourteen Graduates of the College Receive Di- plomas. Metropolitan Hal! Crowded Last Evening With the Students’ Friends. At the Programme’s Conciusion Arch- bishop Riordan Pres nted the Certificates. Archbishop P. W. Riordan last evening presented diplomas to fourteen graduates of Bacred Heart College. Metropolitan Hall was the scene of the commencement exercises of the well-known educational institution, and was crowded to the doors with friends of the graduates and the school that honored them. The exercises opened with a rendition by the coliege orchestra, “Hunting Pleasure March.’ Yesterday’s Important Witnesses in the Jacob Z, Davis Will Contest .in Judge Coffey’s Court. trial, they took seats on opposite sides of tke table and were equaliy energeticin their antagonism. Another crowd of interested listeners greeted the cpeningz of the third day’s| proceedings of the Davis estate contest. | The most entertainine feature of the day was the testimony of Alexander Bovd, surviving partner of Mr. Davis. Althoush | confessing to 76 years of sunshine and | shadow Mr. Boyd is hale and hearty, and | zave bis tesiimony in a manner that gave | a hint of the strong character that is the | distinguishing mark of so many of the pioneers of the S.at At tre close of Tuesday’s proceedings Jobn M. Curtis, husband of Mrs. Belle Curtis, one of the proponents of the will, was on the witness-siand, having been subjected to the quektioning of lawyers, friendly and hostile, for two solid days. Mr. Knicht began nis redirect exam- ination of Witness Curtis by calling his attention to certain testimony given by bim in regard to keys found in the safe in Boyd & Davis’ office. Mr. Curtis said he rememoered the circumstances attending the finding of the keys. The only key he obtained at that time was a key to the safe which contained the ashes of Mrs. Davis, | He took the key to the Davis residence, | 408 Post street, where there were thre safes, and searched until he found the sal that the key wouid open. Several apparent dicrepancies in the direct testimony of Mr. Curtis were taken upana explanations were asked for by Mr. Knight. The doubts and difficulties were pretty thoroughly discussed, and at last it | was acreed by Curtis and Mr. Boyd to open the coper urn coniain- | ing the ashes of Mrs. Davis for the purpose of findinga will if one existed, because search in other directions had been ineffectnal. Mr. Knight asked that Mr. Curtis make a tracing of the signature of Jacob Z. Da- vis as it appeared in the so-called wife will, in which all the estate was devised to Mrs, Davis, who died before he did. Mr. Camptel! objected to having the witness put to the inconvenience of writ- ing with his paper up against the window- pane. He said it was not material as evi- dence, anyhow. Mr. Knight said that he wanted to prove that the alieged will here offered for pro- bate could be produced by this witness by tracing from the origiual writings that were in the possession of Mr. Curtis. Mr. Campbell—That's nonsense. Mr. Knight—I could do it mysell. Give me | the originel and 1 will guarantee to repro- | duce it here in court in ten minutes. | Mr. Campbeli—If you can do that you are a dangerous man to be st large In the commu- nlty. Mz. Knight—Not at sll. There sre thou- sands wno cau do the same. itisasimple thing. Anybody can do it. Mr.” Campbell—So that it will not be de- tected as & forgery Mr. Knight—AD, that is another matter. That is the question to be settled here. It was finally agreed that Mr. Curtis should be excused from making the pro- posed tracing until a convenient pane of glass could oe procured. George H. Mastick, one of the attorneys for the proponents of the will, was called by Mr. Knight and was asked to give his opinion of the habits of the deceased. Mr. Mastick said that the firm of which he is a member had been legal advisers to Mr. Davis for a great many years. He ad- mitted that the dead man might have been what some people call cranky, but he regarded him as a careful business man. He knew little of the alleged hob- bies of Mr. Davis and never knew of his relations with the various public societies of the City except what he reud In the newspapers. He read that Mr. Davis assisied in the prosecution of Jake Lindo, who was acensed of crueliy to animals, and that Mr. Davis bad applied to be ap. pointed Poundmaster in order that e might carry out his ide.s in regard to a bumane management of that.institation. John Senderling’s visit to San Francisco was next inquired into, and Mr. Mastick admi ted that he hasin his possession a paper that was banded 10 him by Mr. Senderling. Mr. Knight intimated that this paper is a writing purporting to be When Mr. Davis’ mother died it affected him very much, said the witness. He went East to see about his mother’s estate, but never told how much he Ko!l out of it. Mr. Campbell objected to this line ot questions, which gave Mr. Heggerty an oppertunity to explain that the contest- ants of the will proposed to prove that Jacob Z. Davis, under the name of Ded- aker, took two-thirds of his mother's estate, and that she made that provision in her will because he had sent money to her almost constantly from time to time from Florida and Cahfornia, giving the present contestants only one-third of ker Dproperty. Mr. Campbell interjected tne remark that the contestants charged such distri- bution of the estate of Mr. Davis’ mother had caused animosity between the fami- lies of the contestants and the deceased. He failed 1o see what all that had to do with the case at par. Mr. Knignt promised to connect the circumstances in a logical way. To this Mr. Campbeil replied that there are but three issues on trial. First, did Jacob Z. Davis write the will here pre- sented for probate; second, was he of sound mind; third, was he under undue influence at the time this instrument was executed. Judge Coffey said he would expect Mr. Knight to establish the relevancy of this r of testimony before procesding in this direction. Nevertheless, Knight was permitted to show that Mr. Boyd and Mr. Davis mar- riea sisters, named McGregor, and that Mrs. Muir, mother of the beneficiaries un- der the will, was a Miss McGregor, a sis- ter of Mrs. Davisand Mrs. Boyd. W. G. Dougall, foreman of Montague's bardware-store, testified that the copper box to contain Mrs. Davis’ ashes was or- dered by Mr. Davis, and that after the ashes were deposited therein the box was sealed up by Mr. Davis’ request witha soldering iron. This, he aeclared, oc- curred not later than Septen:ber 21, 1896. Mr. Knight showed he regarded this as important, since he repeatedly called at- tention to the fact that the will wasdated October 1,1896. The testimony showed that Mr. Davis went East October 2, 1896. Mr. Dougall saw Mr. Davis have a smali piece of paperin his hand, but did not know what it contained. Mr. Dougall was shown a written state- ment purporting to be signed by him in which it was sat forth that the sealing of the box took place on the 1st of October and he was asked if he had writien his name then. ‘‘Yes, that’s my sigoature,” he replied, and then he explained that he was busy when the paper was presented to him; that he supposed it was all right and that he signed 1t a% a matter of course without scrutinizing it. Mr. Boyd was recalled and testified that Mr. Davis told him his relations, meaning tne contestants in this case, had treated him badiy and that they should never fnave a dollar of his property. Coming down to the date of Mr. Davis’ departure for the East Jir. Boyd said that be and Mr. Davis met on October 1 to talk over their business and after they had ais- posed of tLeir affa Mr. Davis said: *I have something to tell yon. I have made my will and I have provided for the girls. ‘When I come back T intend to make those girls my children according to law.” “I asked bim where we could find the will,” said Mr. Boyd, “and he repliea: ‘With Mr. Mastick.””, Mr. Mastick says no him by Mr. Davis.
