She was anxious to have the teachers' pension bill passed by the Leg.slature and to have Governor Budd’s signature attached 1o it. She noticed that Kelly and the Governor were quite chummy, and she thought it behooved her to enlist the former in_her interests and in those of the bill. Kelly told her that Cullen would be a good man to ussist her and the other members of the committee.

When Wheeler wanted to know what was talked about at the Thursday night interview, he used words that carried a | sneer with them, to the effect that there | “JUDGE” JOHN R.

It was all with the hope that some voay, presumably Mrs. Craven, would cry out for mercy for the battered Kelly and to save him further castigation proclaim bhim and her self arch conspirators in the deep and dark plot to loct the Fair estate. Judge Slack’s first duty yesterday was to announce a ruling on an objection made by Mr. Delmas last Friday to a ques- tion asked Mrs. Craven. This question was intended to elicit an answer asto whether or not John R. Aitken had given her a written statement of the ewidence he would give in court. Mrs. Craven had too muck in mystery,” said Mr. Delmas. “If they would put aside their veils and let us know once in awhile what they are | driving at we could save a great deal o, replied to this that she could not remem- | ber. Judge Siack said that he had been thinking the matter over and was now convinced that he had erred in overruling that question. It was quite apparent, he said, that that sort of testimony was im- proper. His Honor confessed toerror also in ref- erence to Mr. Wheeler’s questions directed to the lady at that time sbout any con- tracts ske might have had with Cullen or Bonner. It will be remem©nered that Mrs. Craven denied positively that she ever had any contracts with these men by which she was to secure ihieir testimony for money, and therefore was not injured by that particular part of the examina- tion. But Judge Slack felt that he had done a wrong and his conscience prompted him to rectify it. Bo it was then that he ordered twenty pages of the official recora obliterated because their contents were all avout Cullen and Bonner and the mythi- cal contracts. 2 NEW TO-DAY.

She was « act as to the time sbe cailed on Aitken, but she conld 1ot recall all of the minor details, such as the iurnishings of Aitken’s office, the number of windows and whether it faced east or west. “How did you come to retain Judge Aitken?” asied Mr. Wheeler. “Weil, 1 wenied to get somebody to look aiter my interests who in no way connected with the Fair estate. | heard that Judge Aitken wasa now arrival in | town and sought him ont.” The lady could not remember just who it was that advised her io secure Aitken or who mentioned him. It might have been Martin Kelly, but sie wounld not be positive. Mr. Wheeler wanted to know when it | was that Mrs. Kelly. Mr. Delmas indulged in a short, sharp speech in objecting to this sort of evidence. “If your Honor please,” he said, *‘the conspiracy was not formed six vears ago, ¥hen this lady was running for the nomi- nation of Superintendent of Public Schools in ihis County. Isit ciaimed that itran back that far? Let us have some proof of a conspiracy. We have been three days now—this is the third day this witness bas been on the stand upon the promise of counsel that he would prove a con- spiracy. Now where is there any proof of a conspiracy? None, none whatever. Of course a conspiracy may be inferred from the fact that this lady, who was in Sacramento in behalf ot the teachers’ pen- sion fund, or a bill pending with refer- ence to thai beneficent measure, made the acquaintance of Martin Kelly. ' Well, was Governor Budd a conspirator because he had given Martin Kelly a private entrance or a private knock to his door, or because he walked arm in arm with him, or be- Craven first met Martin cause Martic Keily had helped him to his | office or to his election ? *Does that prove a conspiracy between the honorable Governor and Martin Kelly? The man may be a politician—I have not the houor of his acquaintance— but be is not an ouicast. He is not a horned and cloven deyil that the mere contact with him conteminates. Surely our Governor is not contaminated by walking arm 10 arm with Mariin Kelly, or by accepting his assistance at ti.e poils, or by giving him a private entrance to his office; and wkile I have no objection, if your Honor please, Enowing the purpose of the learned counsel, as announced, to | prove that this lady did not meet Judge Aitken in 1895, to & reasonable lati- tude, yet I submit that 1o go back to the origin of her acquaintance with Martin Kelly, when, with the assistance of Sena- tor Fair she' was running for the nomina. tion of Schnol Superintendent, as we shall | show, and the assistance of Martin Kelly, if your Honor please, we submit that it is like, if I may be permitted a vulgarism, like the Irishman’s ox-tail soup, ‘going a little too far back.’ Judge Black sustained the objeciion, but | | had been “two of these little conlabula- | tions’ at Mrs. Craven’s house. Mr. Delmas said this was palpably an instance of misconduct. He asked the | courtto direct Mr. Wheeler to be a little | fairer with the witness and not to indulgs in “spread-eagle” remarks intended to prejudice the ju Judge Den<on” added to thisan objec- | tion to tue eff-ct that tue other side should not be permitted to continue on | their fishing excursion. It was very plain. | be said, that they were ouly groping around in the hoye of finding sometning | with which to tolster up a fallen case. | Waeeler replied by asserting that the hand of Martin Kelly was being traced all through the case. He had been here, | there and every where. “Is there sometuing infections in the very | ue of Kelly?” asked Mr. D>imas. s Is he a monster thatcontaminates every- | thing with his touch, and is your Honor to | take judicial notice of that fact, that the very mention of his name, tue very touch of him is pollution? | *Ifso, what becomes of the chief execu- tive of this State so far as the testimony of this cas- proves? He is the first person, 50 far as the testimony shows, 1o be con- | taminated with the touch of this monster | in lerous form whose very name is odor- | ous of conspiracy. Now I say if there is a | conspiracy it consists to do wrone. Where | | is the agreement 10 do wrong? A con- iracy is an agreement between two or more parties to do an unlawful act. | “Arewe 10 be told that the mere fact | that this lady—a teacher, Lonored by her | fellow-tencters with being appointed rn a committee 1o furtner a legislative measure beneficial 10 them, and because in Sacra- mento she met this man, whom she | | thonght potent of influence, having the guvernatorial ear—he had the guberna- to1ial eai—are we 10 be told that because she sought hisaid in those polluted pre- cincts of Sacramento, where no such aid is ever rcquired excevt by the humble and poor—the rich do not need it—ihat she conspired with Martin Kelly? It is cnly the poor and those who are seeking to put through the Legislature bills for the relief of widows anda orphans. They alone | know who Mariin Kelly is. They, when | [ they touch Martin Kelly, ‘are conspira- | tors. Those who have bills for franchises | and have other things of that kind know | 51m not—never bave heard of his name! | " “Now, if your Honor please, uniess you are to take judicial notice that Martin Kelly is a monster of in.quity, that Bon- ner is 8 mons:er of villainy, that the very | name of Cullen is equivalent to poliution, Lask youssa Judge where is there any | evidence of conspiracy in this case? | o et e e g “Now let us have fair play.

His story is as follows: “On the day after the death of Hoffman | I met the bookkeeper employed at the | teamster’s office, 111 Bush street. Our | conversation dr:fted to the Hoffman trag- | edy and Mr. Figel’s possible connection | with it. | *He said to me, among other things, | that be went into the store of Hoffm Rothehild & Co. between 6:15 and 6:20 | ck.

Jacob did not deny that he had some information relative to the affair, but said he would divulge it only at the uest. He also refused to answer the direct question as to whether or not be had heard any shot or ‘shots on the evening of the killing. In some quarters it is believed that the mysterious veiled woman may have been Lizzie Morrin, the servant girl, who came 10 the store after the body hada been dis- covered, saying she had been sent by Mrs. Hoffman to inquire why Mr. Hoffman a2ad not been home to dinner. According to the statement of Detec- tive Crockett, the servant girl did not come on the scene until 7:20 7. M. s o, A PUZZLING WITNESS. Maloney Changes His Statement in a Radical Manner on a Ma- terial Polnt. Witness James Maloney is giving con- siderable worry to all tue persons who are seeking to bring out the truth regaraing the manner in waich Issac Hoffman came o his death. In his first statement made to Chief Lees on Sunday in the office of Rothchild & Ach he described the man who stood in the doorway of the Battery-street en- rance to the store of Hoffman, thebild & Co. at about 6:20 p. M. as a | tall man, with a tull beard, inclin sandy. Yesterday he stated ihat the man | sbostoud in the doorway was not tall and stour, and that he nad only a mus- ache of a'~andy color. te was put to a practical test of the | haracter of his memory yesterday in the | Hoffman, Oito Heyneman, the stenographer of the Chief—were called into his presence, and ue was asked if any of them looked like the men he had seen in front of the store at 11 Battery sirect on Jjune L He sad hat Figel was “about the size of the man who stocd with bis back to the sidewalk,”’ that Egan, who weiehs avout 175 pounds and siands 5 feet 10 inches, “wus about jortion of the clothing that either of the men had on. Then he stated that the man who stood facing the street did the most ta Eing. Chief Lees was inclined to be wroth at the new and variable witness. The Chief id that on the day that Malouey was being examined in the office of the attor- | neys for the clothing firm he repeatedly | d scribed the man in the door as tall and | stout and as having a fuii, long, sandy- | colored beard. He then rexd from the statemert that Maloney had made in the curse of his examination. This was the e-ult of the exum:nation as conducted by | the Chief, relating to the description of | the larger man : “Waat kind of looking people were | they ?” a<ked the Chief. | Tue man in the door,” answered the | w “‘was a heavy-set man, a tall reddisu complexion, reddish whisk- | ma er-.” “Full whiskers?" “Yes, large whiskers. I came up, this man who stood in the | ioor said to the other man, ‘—— ——, . if vou bave anything to settle with me c.me in here and I will settie with you.’ | The other fellow saxd, ‘You have nothing to settle with me at all.’” Then the other Right there, when | ellow said, ‘Come in,' and they both | went in."”’ | “And the tall man had whiskers?” “A full beard coming down like that.” Holding his hand some inches below his chin “Do you think you would know that man if you saw him again?’ “Idon’t know. This man with the fuil whiskers is a stout man and fleshy.” This statement was taken down in short- hand and trauscr bed by one of the cierks in Ach’s cftice. Chief Lees claims that Maloncy in one part of his statement had described the whiskers as being *“full,long and bu-hy.” This does not appear in the i transcript furnished to the Chief. He | calied atieniion to this and remarked: “That young man cannot do any short- hand work for me. He has left that part out. Why, I don’t know; whether be- | cause he was instructed to do so or through | carelessness I, of course, cannot say. Now, vou will notice t hat Ach in his examina- J. G.

When he reached the office Figel and Hoffman were engaged in a very animated conversation. and were appar- ently quite angry. “The bookkeeper told me that he asked | Figel for the stamps, but the latter an- swered him very curtly that he was busy | and had no stamps forsale. Mr. Hoffman then spoke to his employe, instructing him to get the stamps desired, whereupon Figel reinctantly complied. ‘As my friend wa. anxious to get home he hurried from the store, selecting the Bush-street exit. The fact that be went out by the side door convinces me that he also entered there, though, as I said be- f(‘;rs', Iam not sure what he said about tha At this point comes an interesting | feature of my iriend’s story.

Henry Jacob aamitied, however, that he had purchased some stamps in the office of tion of the witness made no attempt to et a description of the men.” Here the Ch ef produced the statement made by the witness as taken by Ach to verity the assertion. Atter the witness had been put through the test of se'ecting the men who he thought resembled those he had seen at 11 Battery s'reet, he was taken downtown 1y Detective Whitaker and in‘roduced to Messrs. Jacob, Friedman and Lauer. He said that none of them resembled the man who stood in the door on the fatal even- ing. While walking along Market street wich Whitaker, Maloney called attention to a man who he thought resembled the “man in the door.”” Detective Whitaker says that this man was about 5 feet 8 inchea high, and that he weighed about 150 or 155_pounds. A Later Mahoney gave the information that the man who was in the door wore a faded, biack derby hat with a round and that he had a sandy colored mustache, but no other hirsute adornment. The mustache answers to that of Hoff- man, but the hat does not. Hoffman wore a light brown derby hat, with round crown. SRS SR AT THE CORONER’S.
