Says That the Colored Woman Did Not Directly Put Up for the Sharon Case. Young Fred Bell, who has just brought | suit against his mother for an accounting ALEXANDER BOYD IS NOW ACCUSED Charged With Forging the Davis Wili by Ex- pert Maxwell. Sensation Caused in Judge Coffey’s Court by This Un- expected Declaration. Attorney Campb:11 Contented Him- self With Alleging the Partisan- sh p of the Witness, “Alexander Boyd forged the will of the late Jacob Z, Davis,” said Paying-teller FRED EELL, Who Has Sued His Mother—of House-of-Mystery Fame—for an Accounting of His Father’s Estate. of his father’ tion to desist from the prosecution of | what he considers his just rights. In speaking of the suit yesterday, Mr. | Mr. Maxw Bell said: “I believe I am in the right, although it is & case of two to one—I against Mrs. estate, shows no disposi- George R. E. Maxwell of the First Na- tional Bank yesterday. This statement created a sensation, for ell was testifying about the way in which it appeared to him that the vaper had come into existence, and as the | witness had been acquainted with the Thomas Bell and Mrs. Pleasant—and I | writingof both Boyd and Davis for a great propose to stay with my demand. *'1 have not been rightly treated. Before going to law I went to Mrs. Bell and Mrs. Pleasant and asked them whether they would settle the matter quietly. They told me to get out of the house; that no one would take up my case and that I could not getany redress anywhere. So I determined to fizht the two of them. THE CALL has always treated me very well and is always inciined to do justice to all. In that ‘accident’ of mine THE reated the matterin the iairest way. an accident us far as they could ‘make it so—of that I am convinced. Of course, no one has anything against me except that I was wild when 1 was | young, as many others have been. n mber of years it was assumed by Mr. Knight, attorney for ihe contestants, that | he knew ali about the peculiarities of their handwritings. Attorney J. C. Campbell took exactly ihe opposite position. He made light of Mr. Maxwell's pretensions 1o special fit- ness to sit as a judge of the signature of the dead man, and it was in response to his quesiion that the auswer above re- corded was given. Mr. Knight strenuously objecied to ihe deiivery of a repiy 10 this question, and the proponents of the will argued that he | was unwilling to have his witness bound 10 t at opinion as agsinsta man of Mr. “The fact of the matter is Mrs. Bell is | Boyd’s known high standing in the com- simply domineered over by Mrs. Pleasant, | Munity 8o thorouehly is Mr. Boyd The tie between them is simply one of iz- | trusted by the people of this community, fatuation and custom. did not put up for Mrs Terry in the Sharon case, but the money was put up by Thom grudge ageinst Sharon. Mrs. Plewsant was the n.edium of expenditure. I know this from people who got the mioney for Thomas Bell. But all my life Mrs. Plea ant has occupied the same position of au- thority in the house of Bell. I have asked Ler to stand by Bell’s children, but she prefers 1o stand by Mrs. Bell, and so I must fight them both. **Mrs. Pleasant has probabply $50,000 of her own, but she ssys she bas notning. As a matter of fact she owns half of a fine summer estate two miles from Glen Eilen, the other half bemg owned by Mrs. Bell! Mrs. Pleasant has given deeds of her prop- erty or most of it toa lady frend whom she trusis to hold it for her. The laay is named Mrs. Boone, and was formerly Mrs. Gordon. She holds the deeas in trust, but Mrs. Pleasant tells Mrs. Bell that she has nothing, and is entirely de- pendent upon her for suosistence, Mrs. Pleasant cares notbing for me in compari- son witn Mrs. Bell. “It is time something was done. We children are in no position at all. We can barely live at the house on Ociavia street under the present conditions. 1 am de: termined to fight the thing 10 the end.” BRADBURY TO BE JAILED. For Spitting in a Streetcar He Must Serve in Durance Vile. Millionsire W. B. Bradburs, who spat on the floor of a Sutter-street car several weeks ago in Violation of the City ordi- nance and who was sentenced by Judge Low to serve twenty-four hours in the ! County Jail, will have crime in durance vile, At the time of to expiate his arrest Bradbury manifested a great deal of temper and | openly declared his defiance of the powers of the Supervisors to curtail his personal liberty in the matter of spitting where and when he chose to do so. When Bradbury’s appeal was heard by Judge Wallace a very different tone was taken by the prisoner at the bar. He said he did not wish to defy the law, but only desired to have the constitutional right to spit determined by the courts of the country. Judge Wallace made a review of all the testimony and heard elaborate argument by Attorney O'Brien on behalf of the defendant. After considlering the matter for nearly two weeks Judge Wallace sus. tained Judge Low’s decision and Brad- bury will be compelled to go to ———— By Inhaling Gas.

To sav that the writing looks to be a forgery 1s one thing, but to flatly accuse another of having committed the forgery, without anything more sub- stantial than a cursory examination of the paper, is quile another matter. Mr. Campbell exnibited his disrespect | for Mr. Maxwell’s dictum in this regard | by declining 10 cross-examine him on the point. He simply drew out the opinion of the witness and let it go at that, with | | | George R.E. Maxwell, Who Says | That the Davis Will Was Forged by Alexander Boyd. the remark that if all his testimony was of equal value he wus willing to let it go to the jury for what they would consider it worih. The rroceedings were exceedingly lively i!mn! the vpening of the court to the time { of adjournment. Mr. Maxwell is an ex- ceptionelly nervous man and the annoy- ances of the witness-stand appear to wear | on bim seriously. He isconstantly jam p- ing up and expiaining to the court that be thinks it necessary for him to explain his answers, and the court is all the time admonishing him of the necessity for | coolness and deliberation. | _ With the aid of a blacktoard Mr. Max- | well 1llustrated wh he meant by the Davis “J,” the Davis “D'* and tte Davis “a’’ as they appeared in writing that was admitied to e genuine. The Davis “*J” has the shaain- above the loop in the manuscrivt form, the “D” is angular and firm and the “'a” is always a prominent letter in the name. Touching the Davis “a” many questions were asked, and taking what is known as exhibit 16, a copy of the so-called wife will, which is admitted to bein Mr. Davis’ handwriting, Mr. Campuveil handed it to the witness and asked him if he thought the first “a” in it was a characteristic Davis “a” according to his previous de- scription. As Mr. Maxwell was advancing from the witness-stand to his microscope. that rested on the table in front of him, Mr. Campbell said: 0Ob, do you have to put it under your jigger ot 1 will do so. he witness—I will do so. Mr. Knight to Mr. Campbell—Do you call thata jigger? [Laughter.] MNr. Campbell—Yes. [Renewed laughter.] Mr. Kuight—Evidently sclence hasn't done much for you. [More laughter.] Mr. Campbeil—You see I baven’t been fn the Fair case. ‘[Additional laughter; even Judge Coffey smiled. The wituess was at last permitted to reply, and said that he could not give an answer off hand, as Mr. Campbell seemed 10 expect; thathe must have Lime for in- epection; that it wasn’t fair to justice. ““What justice?’’ demanded Mr. Camp- bell. Mr. Maxwell explained that he meant thie justice in the case. In response to Mr. Campbell’s inquiry as to whether he was a partisan in this case, he replied that he considered himself in some sense ar asso- ciate or assistant counsel in the case; that the attorneys were not as well in- formed in regard to writing as he is, and that he deemed it his duty to object when the questions were put in snch a form that case. Mr. Maxwell made another startling statement to the effect that he was not certain whether the wilinow on file is the original document that was shown him the first time he was called on to make an examination of the paper. He had cer- tain reasons for doubting it. The paper now shown him resembled the one he saw first when he examlned it at the request of Alexander Boyd and Attorney Mastick, On the second examination the paper was handed to him by Deputy Clerk Johnson. In looking it over he noticed that two blue or purple acid marks that were vis- ible at the first examination bad disap- peared. Mr. Campbell (banding witness the Davis will )—Is this the paver you saw the tirst time you were called on to ex- amine it? 2 Mr. Maxwell (advaneing to his micro- scope)—I will see if— Mr. Campbell (mockingly)—Oh, do you have to put it under your instrument again? Mr. Knight—I submit that this remark is not fair 1o the witness. Mr. Campbell (with rising inflection)— Not fair] Not fair! Isn't it fair when the witness has insinuated that Mr. Mastick or myself or some one in the County Clerk’s office has been guilty of theft? That some one has stolen the will and put this paper in its place? Is it fair for him to insinuate that? And suall I not ex- amizne bim on that point? The court—Let the question be answered. Mr. Maxwell—I wish 10 use the glass in order to be sure. I saw two purple or examined it that are not there now. They might have been made by ink or acid. There are acids that would re- move them. Mr. Campbell—Did you ever tell me or ssociates about those acid marks The witness—No, sir. Mr. Campoell (warming up)—Did you ever tell any man, woman or child on earth about those marks until this moment? The witness—Yes, sir. Mr. Campbell—Well, tell? The witness — My mother brother. Mr. Knight—This severity is unseemly and may be assigned as misconduct; this | adverse examination of your witness is Mr. Campbeli (in disgust)—Our witness Nahb. Mr. Knight (in evident glee)—Well, he was your witness until a short time ago. Mr. Campbell (tauntingly)—And you had Kytka until all st once yon found that you didn’t need him. Mr. Knig.t (contentedly)—Mr. Kytka isnot here. In that way, little by little, the jury was enlightenea with regard to the game that is goinz on behind the legal scenesand concerning which they are permitted to know only a part. Mr. Maxweil was allowed to explain how he had reached the conclusion that the will offered as the last testament o! Jacob Z. Davis was in fact written by Alexander Bovd, He said that for two or turee weeks he had been examining the writings of Mr. Boyd for the purpose of making comparisons. He found those writings in the bank with which he is connected. Nobody asked him to make the compariscns. He did the work of his own volition and reached tie conclusion after deliberate inspection. He believed that Mr, Boyd wrote the will, | Expert Max Gumpel was sworn as a witness and said that in his opinion the entire will is a forgery; that not a letter of it was written by the late Jacob Z. Davis; that the writing has not one of tne characteristics of the writing of Mr. Davis. The remainder of the afternoon was taken up by Mr. Gumuvel with his ex- vlanation of "the throry on which he pro- ceeds ins forming his judgment that the document is a forgery. During the day it was ascertained that the proponents of the will wiil introducs Expert Ames to prove that the wiil is genuine. Alexander Boyd was in a perturbed frame of mind last night when a represen- tative of 1HE CALL met him at his Wash- ington-street residence. *‘Itis monstrous, itis an outraze,” saia he, alluding to the story of Paying Teller Maxwell that, in his judgment, the wil! was forged by Mr. Boyd. “Itisso monstrous thatldp nop care '0 say anything further. “I was examined by Knight for two days and a half, and by Campbell for an- other half-day, making three days, and I told all the details of my connection with the will.” whom did you and my they would jeopardize his theories of the | blue spots on the instrument when I first | FOR A PACIFIC COAST CIRCUIT The Asscciated Cyclists Making Strong Affili- ations. Mexico and British Columbia Will Soon Be in the Com- bination. Mayor Phelan Joins the Assoclation Rraching Out for Canadian Friends. One of the prime objects of the Cali- | fornia Associated Cyeclists, that of form- ing a vast affiliation of Pacific Coast wheeimen extending from Mexico to British Columbia, is about accomplished, and within a few days the association ex- pects to be able to officially announce that | the governing body of the cyclists in President Diaz' realm has recognized the association. The British Columbia Wheeimen are only waiting to learn whether or not the California Associated Cyclists really con- trol racing in this State to accept affilia- tion, and as the proof of this will be sent them shortly the result is a foregone con- clusion. th recognition from these two impor- tant bodies it is expected that representa- tives from both will come to California to participate in the big meets that are pro- jected, and these gatherings of the mighty men of the wheel will partake as much of an international character as any that are held under the auspices of the League of American Wheelmen. The Mexican cyclists, who have long been recognized by the league, are ar- dently in favor of Sunday racing, and, | moreover, are thorough sportsmen, who are ready at any time to meet the knights of the cycle path. The recent breach between the Cana- dian Wheelmen's Association and the league over the refusal of the authorities of the latter to let American flyers go to Chatham, Ontario, to compete in the an- nual meet there on July 1 is looked upon | as a bright chance for ihe California or- | 8anization to secure a valuable affiliation. The Canadians have many crack riders | who, if they should rafuse toride under | league sanction, might be induced to come to California for the Mexican-California- British Columbia c'reuit. Taken altogether, the outlook seems un- | usually bright, and the California Associ- ation 1s straining every nerve to bind closer the ties that are now being formed. The leaders of the association are more than elated over one of their latest acqui- sitions in the way of members. No other than Mayor Phelan. The chief executive of the City government has long been known to be in favor of the objects for which the California wheelmen are striving—good roads and well-paved streets—and when he was asked to join the organ-zation that has assumed con- | trol ot California cycling affairs he did so at once and promised his earnest support in the matters that the association has | under consideration, E. F. Preston, the attorney for the Val ley road, and A-semblyman Stratton are also recent recruits to the association roll, which now contains the names of nearly 1000 members. OLYMPIO CLUB SPORTS. Boxers Who Will Spar in Mechanics’ Pavilion This Evening. The Olympic Club hopes to see a large crowd in Mechanics' Pavilion this even- ing, as this will be the club’s second box- ing entertainment. Tha programme isa good one. Steve O'Donnell, the clever Australian heavy-weight, wiil meet Alex- ander Greggains, the fireman, in a twenty- round contest, and the betting is even money. O’Donnell nes the advantage of weight, height and reach, and should win the bout if be is as clever as his iriends contend. Greggains is, however, in good condition, and his trainer, Mar- tin Murp v, is confident the San Fran- ciscan will win. | Jimmy Anthony is a strong favorite over Lawler, but the latter is a harder man to whip than most people who take an interest in fisticuffs b-lieve. Anthony will have no easy game, and it is doubi- ful if the little Australian will score a knockour. | It is almost safe to say that Eimer will | et a decision over Ryan, but the contest should prove quite interesting. | BARTLETT+seeeeeee+| HIGHLAND SPRINGS, GILROY HOT SPRINGS corensesseres SPRINGS Addition to mng-nnom. | New Hotel Cottages.
