THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23, 1897, REAVIS HEIRS T0 TRY ONCE MORE Hope to Prove Their Title to the Peralta Grant. Complete Records Said to Be in Existence in Cuba’s Capital. | This Government May Find It Dif- ficult to Again Defeat the Clalm. PHENIX, Ariz., June 22.—In a recent letter from Lieutenant Henry O. Flipper, dated at Santa Fe, N. Mex., to Judge Wil- liam H. Barnes of Tucson, some further | and highly interesting particniars of the | famous Peralta-Reavis land grant case| are given. Three years ago, when Reavis was sentenced to prison for his fraud and | forgeries in the case, it was thought that no further action in the matter could s | in the courts. In his letter 10 Judge | Barnes Lieutenant Flipper of the Untted | States Land Commission says: “There appeared in our office to-day a Mr. E. B. Garcia, 8 Mexican lawyer, from | the city of Monterey, State of Tameau- | lipas, Mexico, for the purpose of filing a new ciaim to the Peralta grant. He will not file his claim at once, but will remain bere awhile and endeavor to post himsel! on the methods of procedure in the land court, ascertain how to file his case, and | find out what was done in ths case filed by Reavis. *‘He was very frank in his conversation, and stated that his case wasabsolutely perfect, and that no court in Christendom could reject it. The claimants are all Mexicans, and live in San Luis Potosi principally. He has power of attorney from some 800 of them. The title papers are perfect, he says, and the records are in existence and complete. **When I questioned him he stated that when the Spaniards were driven out of Mexico they attempted to carry the rec- ords from the City of Mexico and Guada- | lajara to Spain, but they got away with only a part of them, which were subse- quently left in Havana, Cuba, where they now Another portion of the records are at San Luis Potosi. This expiains, | he says, why tue Reavis people did not find the genuine records of this grant. | The grant, he claims, was made to Miguel Peralta for distinguished services to the crown in 1774. He is very confident, and says the documents are all in his po: sion and are absolutely genuine, and so are the records, as he will show at the | proper t'me. “‘He cen file his claim now on the plea thatitisa periect grant. The court has | aiready so held in several cases recently | filed. The case as Mr. Garcia states it ap- pears to be very formidable, and the Gov- ernment will have to work hard to defeat | the claim, *“Mr. Garciaasked how much Reavis haa spent in prosecuting the case and we told | him between $200,000 and $300,000. He said he had been so informed and knew the litigation in the case was expensive, | but he was prepared for tuat.’’ Licutenant Flipper's letter concludes with this warning: “It woud appear from the foregoing that there was business ahead and lots of it 1f Mr. Garcia is to be believed. So, all hands will have to join in another fight for their homes, and that without delay.” CORVALLIY Fa51iNG PRISONER, Though Faint From Hunger, He il Refuses Food. CORVALLIS, O, June 22.—There is | Do change in the demeanor of Ed Scott, | the refractory and fasting prisoner in the | county jal. Yesterday afternoon some | nourishment—the first in three days—was | forced down his throat by the jailers. The prisoner, as soon as the jail door opened, buried a basin at an officer and followed it up with an open-mouthed and wild- | eyed rush. The officer clinched and threw him down, and succeeded after much time 1n pouring a quaniity of milk and soup down his tnroat. To-day, by holding the cup to his lips, the keepers | succeeded in inducing Scott to swallow additional nourishment, but no food is touched or tasted by him willingly The prisoner starts at the slightest noise and walks quickly about his cage, uttering a grunt or growl like a wild beast. That he is delirious part of the time as a result of his long fast is con- ceded by bis physician, but that the whole affair is a reproduction of the Fiester | scheme at Grants rass is generally be- lieved by the officers. ADVENTUKE NEAR MONTEREY. Camping Party Almost Precipitated Down a Steep Declivity. | MONTEREY, Car, June 22.—Charles D. Henry, cashier of the Bank of Mon- terey, who returned yesterday from a camping and fishing trip to the Little Sur, about forty miles down the coast, tells of an experience which came uncomfortably near causing the deatn of all of his party. At a perilous point in the trail, where the Toad runs slong a sheer declivity ofabout 100 feet, the bank gave way and the pack- horse which was driven in advance of the party, tumbled the entire distance, rolling over and over, ana completely demolish- ing the provisions which he carried, but beir.g himself onlv bruised. Fortunately, Mr. Henry and his two daughters were far enough behind the packhorse to stop short of the crumbling bank, and by much effort succeeded in getung safely round the dangerous piace. = S8 oy Monterey Chin-ns Arvested, MONTEREY, CAL, June 20.—Five Chi- nese fishermen—Hoy Lee, Suong Ye Lung, Sam Moy, See Lee and Chung Gee—were brougnt before Justice E.

Ex-Judge Sullivan Quickly Changed the Subject of Icquiry. Thomas H. Biythe's Heiress Denies That She Promised Extra Pay to Lawyer Bergia. Mrs. Florence Blythe Hinckley’s biue | eyes were suffused with tears yesterday | for a few momenis during the trial of the | suit which Attorney Thomas I. Bergin has | 10 be aue for legal services. ! Ex-Judge J. F. Sullivan, attorney for Mr. Berein, wished to show the confiden- Justice of the California Supreme Court, was aszked to rive his opinion of the value of the services of Mr. Bergin, The long question prepared by Mr. Sullivan was read to him. It gyavea history of the liti- gation from beginning to end, and con- cluaded with a synopsis of what part Mr. Bergin had personally borne in the busi- ness according to his and his attorney’s estimate of his share of the work. Mr. Rhodes thought that the charge of $50,000 was not excessive; in fact, he thought it was quite reasonable, consider- ing Mr. Bergin’s eminent standing at the bar, his acknowledged ability and bis in- dustry. Incidentally Mr, Rhodes’ idea of a small fee was obtained. He said the Sarah Davis appeal was a trivial matter compared with other phases of the litiga- tion, and thatonly a small fee ougnt to be charged in that regara. He scarcely cared to put an estimate on o insiznifi- cant a thing as tnat, but finally was pre- vailed on to say that $500 would be about right, In estimating the fee that ought to go to Mr. Bergin, the witness said that he had kept in mind that other lawyers were in the case; that Mr. Bergin was not the only vebble on the legal beach, %0 to speak. The fact that Hall McAllister, John Garber and ex-Judge Boait were associated in the case had to be consid- ered. i“HO' about W. W. Foote?” asked Mr. Hart, “Fine lawyer, fine lawyer,” replied Mr. Rbodes, “but not engaged in this litiga- tion to the same extent as tue gentlemen I have just mentioned.” “How about myself?"’ Hart. “Really, do you think you ought to ask me that question ?” pleaded the witness “Yes; let us have your opinion;*I'm not thin-skinned,” said the questioner. “Then I would say that for the outside persisted Mr. In 1892 did you know who wers your lawyers?” asked Mr. Sullivan. 1 think so,” she replied. Who were they?” “Well, there were Garber, Boalt & Bishop, General W. H. H. Hart, Mr. Ber- gin and W. W. Foote.” “How many of them were engaged in your litigation ?”” “I supposel all of them were engaged in it. That was my understanding.’” M Hinckley said 'that she called at Mr. Bergin’s office in January, 1892, with Mrs. Perry, now Mrs. Byrne, and that a paper was prepared for her to sign. Nothing haa been said to her about the contract. She understood it was to ratify the oid contract. She could Jnot recollect all that was said by herself or the others. She signed the contract after looking over it. She thought it was the same as the old contract. Mr. Bergin said something about his health being poor, but that he would continue to render such services ashis bealth would permit. She could not recali that she acknowledged the con- tract before Holland Smith, a notary publie. “If Mr. Smith was there he seems to have siipped my memory,” said Mrs. Hinckley, smiling. After “this mental effacement of Mr. Smith the defendant said that she called on Judge Boalt about that time to con- sult with him about making her will. There were several visils before the will was completed. She did not talk with Judge Boalt about her relations with Mr. She denied specifically that she to Judge Boalt a proposed con- treet with Mr. Bergin, Throughout her testimony Mrs. Hinck- ley declared that she never agreed to pay any extra compensation to Mr. Bergin. She signed the agreement of January 19, 1892, with the understanding that it was to ratify the original contract, and it was i MRS. FLORENCE BLYTHE-HINCKLEY AND CONTENDING ATTORNEYS. tial relations that existed between ex- Attorney-General W. H. H. Hart and Mrs. Hinckley by asking whether he had used any efforts to brinz about the mar- | riage of the Blythe heiress and the late | Mr. Hinckley. Mr. Hart, who was on the witness-stand, said that he gave away tbe | bride at her request. Ex-Attorney-General A. L. Hart, who | with ex-Judge Aylett Cotton is associated | as counsel for the defense, objected to further probing in the private life of Mrs. Hinckley, and Mr. Bullivan, observing the effect of his interrogatories, quickly abandoned that line of interrogations. The effort of Mr. Sullivan was mani- festly directed to proving that W. H. H. Hart was authorized to make a contract on the part of Mrs. Hinckley for the pay- ment of extra compensation for his ser- vices in the Blythe estate litigation. Mr. Hart testified that he was never the agent of Florence Blythe Hinckley, that is, he aid not consider himself an agent, though he was the senior counsel in the litigation in pointof engagement. It was my case,” s: . Hart, “and | I secured the employment of McAllister and Bergin. I got them in the case. Sub- sequentiy I advised with Mr. Bergin, and we agreed, after the death of Mr.McAllis- ter, and the iilness of Mr. Berein, that It would be wise to obtain the assistance of Garber, Boalt & Bishop. I was in favor of employing General W. H. L. Barnes, but Mr. Bergin preferred the other lawyers, and I would not think of caliing into the case Any one wio Was no. acceptable to Mr. Bergin.” At this point Mr. Bullivan wanted to know if Mr, Hart had not been Fiorence's attorney in all matters ever since she ar- rived in this city. “‘I have not been,” was Mr. Hart's re- ply, and the hearers were astonished. “Well, tell the jury of any matter in which you did not act as her attorney,” said Mr. Suilivan, ana Mr. Hart began to enumerate 2 number of acts by Florence in which advice had not been asked, all of which turned out disastrously. He said he had not been asked sbout the leasing of her house; that he knew nothing about the so-called San Anselmo contract with Mr. Bergin and Mr. McAllister; that he was not permitted to have information touching the so-called 5 per cent contract with McAllister & Bergin, nor the two con- tracts with Florence’s step-grandmother, Mrs. Kate Perry Byrne, nor the contract with Henry L. Kowalsky. Mr. Hart intimated that if she had availed herself of the proteciion of his ad- vice she would have been saved from the disastrous results of ber inconsistent acts. Mr. Sullivan askea: ‘‘Did yon in Janu- ary, 1894, say to Mrs. Hinckley tuat Mr. Bergin bad refusea to proceed with the argument in the Suprems Court unless provision was made for paying him addj. tional compensation ?’ Mr. Hart denied that he ever made any such statement. Subsequently he told of a conversation in which he advised her to write to all her lawyers and ask them to take part in the oral arcument. H id that it was not until February that Mr. Bergin made any demand for extra com- pensation, when he cailed the subject to Mrs. Hinckley’s attention. It was here Mr. Sullivan asked several questions about Mrs. Hinckley’s mar=iage, and the tender memories thus recalled caused the lady’s eyes to fill with tears, observing which Mr. Sullivan changed the subject, Ex-Judge A. L. Rhodes, formerly Chief work and management of affairs you would be of value, but you understand that I would not put you heside those other gentiemen on the legal questions in- volved.” ““That’s right; that’s why they were em- ployed,” assented Mr. Hart. But Mr. t indicated that he did not | altogetber agree with the estimate of the | witness in regard to his weight in the liti- gation, for he returned with this question : *Suppose the Supreme Court in rendering its decision should devoie more attention to my brief than to all the other briefs filed in the case, what would you say to that?’ “Well, in that case,” revlied the witness gently, “I should say that you had con- sulted carefully with your a-sociates and that you had indulged in much reading.” D. M. Delmas testified briefly in regard 1ch as those ren- His estimate was to the value of service dered by Mr. Bergin. substantially similar to that of the other expert witnesses, who thought that Mr. Bergin was reasonabie in his demands. Ex-Justice Fox, formerly on the bench of the California Supreme Court, made bis estimate at $54,000. If the other law- yers had not been in the case he would be disposed to place an estimate of $250,000 on Mr. Bergin's work. Mr. Bergin's interest in the Blythe block ought to weigh very little in determining the amount of his compensation. I. might cut sorae figure, however. The questions involved were important and d:fticuit of solution. The value of the property wa also worthy of being taken into consider- ation. Ex-Judge John Garber, formerly Chief Justice of the Nevada Supreme Coart, was introduced as the “noblest Roman of them all,” by which title he is familiarly greeted by his brother lawyers. He testi- fied that Mr. Bergin took part in a great deal of litigation, particalarly in the Surreme Court. “Do you know of the fact that Mr. Ber- gin declined to proceed in the case unless some provision were made for the pay- ment of his tee ?"’ Mr. Garber said he had heard of that as a fact. He had never received any in- formation from the defendant, Mrs. Hinckley. His firm was engaged by Mr. Hart. He considered that Mr. Bergin was always in the case. Mr. Foote and Judge Avlett Cotton were aiso associated in the litigation. They were not directed by any attorney, not by General Hart particularly. They consuited together and decided what ought to be done. Attorney Aylett Cotton moved to strike out all of Mr. Garber's testimony touch- ing the rumor that Mr. Bergin had de- clined to proceed in 1894, on the ground that it was not shown that the defendant, Mrs. Hinckley, had any knowledge of the subject matter. Judge Hunt reserved hisdecision of this point in order to allow opposing counsel an opportunity to make the proper con- nection if they couid do so. W. H. H. Hart resumed the witness- stand and denied that he had ever made any contracts for Mre. Hinckley before or since her arriving at her majority. He said that she is a woman who attends to her own affairs and decides for herself. Mrs. Florence Blythe Hinckley testified that she never began to take the actual management of her affairs and the litiga- tion connected therewith until after her marriage. Before thatshe had deferred to the opinions of her grardiather and her grandfather’s wife. After‘the decision of Jndge Coffey, which was in her favor, she consulted most frequently with Judge Boalt of the firm of Garber, Boalt & Bishop. understood he was to continueright along to the end of the litigation without extra pay. additional was presented to her she re- | fused to sign it, on the grount that the 3 per cent of all recovered which she haa agreed to pay him was sufficient to com- pelxwl:e him for all his efforts in her be- half. On cross-examination Attorney Cotton made the point that as this was a trans- action between the attorney and hisclient it was necessary for the attorney to show that it was entirely fair and ttat the voug client was advised of any effect which the contract of January 19, 1892, would have on their relations. This was broucht out by the question as to what advice Mr. Bergin gave her about the agreement. She said she took no ad- vice with any one about the contract. Judge Hunt announced that the case will be given to the jury this afternoon. When the new contract for $50,000 | HIS VICTIM'S BODY FOUND IN A WELL Walter Irving Arrested for a Murder of Years Ago. Accused of Taking the Life of Finlay Garrison of Coupeville. ng Man Discov- ered by Chance Only Last Month. SEATTLE, Wasg., June 22.—An effort is being made to avenge the death of Fin- lay Garrison, who was murdered in July, 1894, and his boay thrown into a well on the Bradley farm, near the village of Coupeville, in Island County, this State. To-day, at McNeil’s logging camp, near Machias, in Snohomish County, Walter Irving, alias Henry McNab, was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Lester Still, Prosecuting Attorney of Island County, based on circumstantial evidence procured by Detective Cudihee and Deputy Sheriff Lane of this city, and Thomas Garrison, brother of the deceased, of Coupeville. Finlay Garrison was last seen alive in this city on July 7, 1894. On his body, which was found by chance and taken out of the well on May 5 of this year, was a scrap of paper containing the words *‘Ben- nett National Bauk, New Whatcom, March 5, 1894,” and with this as a ciew the law officers began their work less than six weeks ago. According to the confession of an accom- plice, Nat Youug, McNab =ome years ago was concerned in a plot to murder Walter Crockett and Captain Fellows, two seamen of Admiraity Head. His name has been connected with a Port Madison murder, and he was in trouble at Port Townsend in the matter of a forgery. SWIFT 54NTA ROSA JUSTICE. Horsethief Tried and Sentenced Within a Few Hours. SANTA ROSA, CaL, June 22.—The speediest criminal trial in the records of the Buperior Court of Sonoma Gounty took place here to-day. Louis Cassens of Lake County had been charged with steal- ing a horse. Mr. Cassens had decidea to shake the dustof Lake County from his feat and visit Sonoma County by way of the county road and afoot. Near Geyser- ville he found a horse unitethered and yearning for arider, and he “borrowed” the animal for a few hours. This much bhe admitted at the trial, but he dis- claimed any intention of stealing the steed. No challenges were offered to any of the talesmen called, and in just five minutes they were comfortably seated in the box listening to some Lake County people tell of what avery bad reputation Louis bore at home. The hearingof the dozen or more witnesses consumed about two hours, and then the jury retired. It was back in ten miuutes with & verdict of guilty, and as the prisoner declared he would waive time for sentence, Judge Burnett then and there gave him four years in Folsom, rather more thanone year for each hour of the trial. —_—— DROWNED IN iHE 83N JOAQUIN. One Man Perishes in a Vain Attempt to Rescwe Another. STOCKTON, CaL, June 22.—Informa- tion was received in this city late to-day of a double drowning in the San Joaquin River, at Whisky Slough. Frank Robin- son fell inio the stream and his com- panion, Ollie Collars, seeing that Robin- son was in a bad plight, jumped in to save him. Robinson seized Collars, and, like a drowning man, gripped him tightly, thus leaving his would-be rescuer no chance to keep sbove water. Both went under struggling for their lives, and both were drowned before help could arrive. Robinson’s mother lives in Petaluma. e e Sudden Death at Chula Vista.
