Qm 258 > GOmel JbY 1 | 1 BACHELOR OFFICERS’ WO £k rHTY 0N QUARTERS. The proposed new building for bachelor officers’ quarters and officers’ mess at the Presidio will bave a frontage on the parade of 216 feet. It is to be a two-story and attic structure with flanking octagonal towers. The foundation material is to be of stone, and thé body of the building will be composed of pressed and ornamental brick with stone trimmings. Plans have been prepared and forwarded to Washington. The present quarters in the old adobe building are inadequate and unsuitable for the assembly hall and officers’ mess. The erection of a new building is demanded by the increasing importance of the garrison. The plans from which the accompanying sketch was made were drawn by Fred J. H. Rickon, civil engineer of the quartermaster department. The drawings are from a design submitted by a committee of officers and approved by the Board of Governors of the Presidio Club. HE SPURNED THE TEMPTER Aitken Continues the Story of His Own Unwaver- ing Virtue. | In the Presence of an Immense | Attendance He Waxes Dramatic. Martin Kelly in the Role of the Dread | Villain Who Pursued This Unhappy Innocent. John R. Aitken was again the chief actor yesterday in the Fair-Craven drama. The “Judge,” as counsel for the heirs call him, resumed his interesting yarn about the alleged deep and dark con- spiracy he entered into with Mrs, Craven and Martin Kelly, and then withdrew from—suffering the tortures of a stricken conscience—the awful plot that is claimea by the sattorneys for the Fair children to have been hatched up for the purpose of looting the dead millionaire’s estate. And his story continued to be interesting to say the very least about it. There was an immense crowd present to hear the recital, and this was a fact that quite evidently please | this human bomb- shell, for it is said that Aitken rather prides himself on his elocutionary powers and his ability to tone his address with dramatic effect without the use of slow music and stage thunder. The proceedings began at the point where they left off Thursday evening, and that was where a discussion was under way on the guestion of whether or not Aitken’s evidence regarding alleged con- versations with Martin Kelly were admi sible. The counsel on both sides added a few finishing touches to their arguments and then the ruling of the court was called for. Judge Slack said he thought the evidence could go in, and thereupon Ait- ken was directed to relate the alleged talk he had with Keily after they left Mrs. Craven’s Louse on the night of July 9, 1896. “Leaving the house,” he said, ‘““we went down Guerrero street to Fifteenth, and then down Fifteenth to Valencia. ked Kelly if the real business he wanted me for was to testify in court that I saw Mrs. Craven’s deeds in January or February of 1895. He said it was, and I then declared that I would have nothing to do with it. Kelly said: ‘God, John, this is an oppor- tunity of a lifetime—you will make a for- tune.’ I again told him I woula have nothing to do with the scheme. Kelly also told me what part he was going to play in tne affair.” : “Tell us what he said,” commanded W neeler. ““Well, he said that Cooney had sworn to the acknowledgement of the deeds by Fair, and there was no way in which the heirs could get around it. “He assured me that there was absolutely no dangerin my going on the witness stand, and he had his doubts 1f I would huve o, he expected ure a compromi: t0 Gontinmng, ltken said he did_not ses Mrs. Craven_sgsin after that night, but saw Martin Kelly on numerous occasions. He said Kelly insisted that he should go inio the case. ‘Wheeler showed the witnessa draft of his contract with Mrs. Craven and asked him if he had ever seen it before. +Oh, yes,” repliea Aitken after he had briefly examined the typewritten docu- ment. “Where did you first see it?* F At my office in the Parrott building.” ““Who arew the document?”’ +Morris L. Asher and myself,” +~Who put the document into type- writing?”’ I did.” . Aitken was not permitted to go into the details of circumstances under which be drafted the contract, the court sustain- ing an objection on that point. Under another line of questions Aitken went on to say thit Kellv called at his office on another occasion and inquired if | Craven to whom he was ’phoning. the witness had received & note from Mrs. Craven, through that lady’s daughter, re- questing him to Write out a statement of what he knew about her deeds. His reply was that he had received such a note, but refused to make the desired siatement. “What did Kelly say to that?”’ asked W heeler. “He saia it was too good a chance to make money to throw away. Ho said Cooney had testified, and all was right.” “And what, if anything, did you say?” *On, 1 told him again that I would have nothing to do with the case,” said the vir- inous man. Aitken said he saw Mrs. Craven’s deeds for the second time on the afternoon of July 15, 1896. That was at his office. Miss Margaret Craven brought them there for him to examine. The witness said he subsequently talked to Martin Kelly about the young lady’s visit and | that be told Kelly that he did not want ss Craven to annoy him. He told him that he was out of the case. “Mr. Kelly insist-d that everything had been arranged,” continued Aitken. “Cul- len was also to testify that he had been shown the deeds early in 1895 and had made a written statement to that effect. He -howed 1t to me. [t was on a piece of leal cap, ruled and covered with writiug. But I stuck to it that 1 wouid have noth- ing to do with the case.” At this juncture of Aitken’s weird story Judee Slack adjourned court for the usual noon recess. Aitken was again handed the draft or copy of his con‘ract with Mrs. Craven— the agreement by which he was to serve as her legal adviser—at the beginning of the afternoon session, and he was remind- ed that he had already testified that he ana Morris L. Asher drew up that docu- ment. ow, sir,”’ said Attorney Wheeler, *‘whatdid youdo with that contract after you had finishea it?”’ After an objection had been overruled Aitken replied that he zave the contract to Martin Kelly on the 21s: of July, 1896, “Were there any vencil marks or inter- lineations on it at that time?”’ “There were not.” “Were any of the typewritten words of that paper marked out or scratched when it left your bands?” “When did you see it agailn after you gave it to Keliy ?” *f think it was the 1st of August of the same year.” Aitken went on to say that between the dates he had mentioned he had a talk with Mrs. Craven over the telephone in reference to the contract. He could not | swear tnat it was Mrs. Craven, but he be- lieved it was her. nized her voice. Judge Curtis relieved Mr. Foote of the task of presenting the objection to this last evidence. He said that under the law Aitken could not give his beliefs and disbeliets on the stand. There was evi- dence in the record, he said, that Aitken never saw Mrs. Craven after the 9th of July, 1896. The fact that he believed he had talked with her subsequentiy over tis telephone was wholly inadmissible, espe- cially in view of the further t that he could not swear that it really was l{‘rs‘ he only way in which Aitken could testify on "this particular subject would be by showing, first, that he was positively fa- miliar with Mrs. Craven's voice—familiar enough to be able to swear absolutely that it was she who talked with him over the telephone. Judge Siack said he haa found a Supreme Court decision in which the tes- timony of a witness to the effect he “be- lieved that was the man who committed the robbery” was ruled to be admissible, and led to the conviction of the defendant. Mr. Foote argued that there was a wid difference between the identification of a personality and the identification of a voice. In'the former case the ability to recognize was far more reliable than in the latter instance. Messrs. McEnerney and Wheeler took a turn each at the argument, and Judge Curtis and Mr. Foote fought them back agai n. Mr. Delmas, who was late in arriving, made the closing argument for the de- fense against the admission of the tele- phone conversation. He said that one sowetimes encountered in asking the “central” girl for a number what sounded like # human voice saying *“The line is busy, call again. The line is busy, call again,” over and over agi or course one who did not know differently would be almost willing to swear that it was a human voice he had heard. The fact of tue matter was that it was no bu- man being at all, but instead was the sound of a phonograph being poured into the receiver of thé telephone. He gave this, he said, as an illustration of the inadmissibility of telephone evi- dence and its utter unreliability. When the matter finally reached the court for a ruling Judge Slack said that there werc doubts as to the weight or value of the telephone conversation, but he would admit it for what it was worth. Aitken then proceeded. It appeared that ex-Judge Jere Sullivan told him to ring up Mrs. Craven, as she wished to k with him. 1 accordingly rang up blue 401,” he said, “and a female voice answered. I was He thought he recog- | over the telephore, if it could told to wait a minute, and then I heard another voice. This one I believed to be that of Mrs. Craven. The voice said, ‘I am Mrs. Craven.’ It went on to say: ‘My daughter has gone downtown and will meet you in the lobby of the Crocker building at 2 oclock. I want you to go with her to Mr. Delmas’ of- fice." I replied to the voice, ask- ing why it was desired that I should Mr. Deimas’ offic The voice said Miss Craven will expla I then said that I did not want to go there, as I was not in her case. The voice said, ‘Then everything is off?’ I said nothing was ever on so far asI was concerned. The voice said it was too bad, that Miss Craven had already started downtown and would be waiting there. I said 1 would go to the lobby ana relieve the lady, but thatl :ould notgo to Mr. Delmas' office with | er.”” Mr. Foote here arose and asked that all of Aitken’s answer be stricken from the record as being improper evidence. “I defy the gentlemen on the other side to point to a line or syllable or word in that answer which even squints toward a conspiracy,” he said. ““What is it put in for, if your Honor pleae? Where a story is being put up—this story I assume to be true—it is making testimony, if your Honor please, for the purpose of sustain- ing this witness. If it cannot be deaied that this witness bad this conversation proven | by Judge Sullivan, as it doubties: could be, that he requested this witness to call up four, nougnt black one, or whatever it was, would Judge Sullivan be atlowed to testify that itdid occur? Itis putin here for the purpose of backing this wit- ness up upon one statement upon which he may be corroborated in order that thess gentlemen may argue to this jury that having told the truth one time he has told it all the time, and it is not right, and I ask that that pe stricken out.”” All of the attorneys were on their feet protesting against Mr. Foote's remarks. | “Go ahesd and object!” retorted Mr. | Foote, who was now thoroughly warmed up. “Call it misconduct if you like.”’ Judge Slack at first ruled that portions of Aitken’s answer should be stricken out, but he altered this and allowed all of it to stand. “Did you meet Miss Craven in the Cracker building?'’ was the next question asked Aitken. did.” Who was present?”’ “Jutius Kabn and Colonel Isaac Trum- bo, Mr. Kabn was telling a funny story, and—" ““Weil, we don’t care about that,” broke in Wheeler. *'Did she ask you to go with her to Mr. Delmas’ office?” Vot in 5o many words.” Well, what wus said on that subject 7" Judge' Slack interrupted to say that this line of examination had proceeded far enough, inasmuch as it nad been shown that M ss Craven was acting as her moth- er's agent. Mr. Wheeler now reverted to the dupli- cate of the alleged Aitken-Craven con- tract. Aitken was asked if the paper was ever returned to him, and he said it wa: “By whom?”’ “By Martin Kelly.” Resuming Aitken said that Kelly npon returning the paper to him said that Mrs. Craven wanted another contract drawn up with some changes. These changes had been interlined on the copy in lead pencil. Kelly, he said, told bim t Mrs. Craven had written those interline tion “Mr. Kelly told me Mrs. Craven wanted that other paper—the one with the pencil markings—destroyed,’”’ continued Aitken. “I agreed to that, but shuffled the slpn about on my desk and got it under a blotter, after which I picked up some other paper that looked like it and burned b “Where did you burn it?'’ “In the spittoon in my office.” “Was anything said while it was burn- ing?”’ “Yes. Mr. Kelly said: ‘Dead men tell no tales.’”’ Aitken was asked if he had a subsequent talk with Kelly during which the latter banded him the new contract bearing Mra. Craven’s signature. He replied in the affirmative, and added that Miss Mar- garet Craven and Judge Denson also called, but remained in another room. After Kelly bad departed the witness said be had a chat with Judge Denson. ‘What did Judee Denson Mr. Foote was sbout to tion to this, but Judge said the Jud, L% Bne' {n an objec- nson stopped “that counsel of the case will object to noth- ing that occurred while I was there.” There was nothing sensational about the incident after all. Aitken said he was asked by Judge Denson if he could re- member the exact date on which he fir-t saw Mrs. Craven's deeds, and he repiied that he could not. The Judage requested him to look sbout and see if he could not find some memorandum or someihing would reire-h bis memory, and ihen leit after promising to cali again. That 10 PAVE POINT LOBOS AVENUE A Plan to Connect Post Street With First Avenue. Richmond Improvement Club Will Ask for an Appro- priation. The Park COommissioners Are Ex- peoted to Favor the Proposed Improvement. There is a proposition on foot by the Richmond Improvement Ciub to ask the Supervisors to add avout $60,000 to the al- lowance made annually for the care of the City’s pleasure ground, on condition avenue and thence direct into Point Lobos avenue. The extension of Montgomery avenue two blocks at its northern end, which will then open into Lombard street and thus connect with Van Ness avenue, opens an additional route for the people in the downtown sections of the City to reach outside pleasure grounds. This subject was discussed at a meeting of the execu- tive committee of the Richmond Improve- ment Club last night, at which Charles H. Hubbs, E. P. E. Troy, E. M. Van Frank, James G. Maloney and James Fitzgerald were present. E. P. E. Troy, the prime mover of the scheme, explained fully tbe routes laid down in the chart and showed th vantage it would be to have the coniem- plated 1mprovement made. His ideas were fully concurred in, and it was finally settled that the executive committee should appear before the Supervisors at their next meeting and present a petition coyering the subject. g The same committee, acting on an invi- tation from the Board of Education, will appear before that body and urge the building of a schoolhouse in the Rich- mond district sufficiently large to accom- modate seven additional classes, which number is deemed necessary in conse- quence of the increase in the number of school children in that section. Tt is esti- mated that fully 200 schoal children are at present without accommodation in Rich- mond proper. Public Policy.

The Dotted Line Shows the Portion to Be Paved. that the Park Commissioners bituminize Point Lobos avenue from Central to First avenues. The reason urged for this improvement is that the people in the Western Addi- tion, to avail themselves of a convenient and pleasant driveway either to the park or the military reservation, are now com- pelled to drive into Golden Gate avenue and along that boulevard, crosscutting the streets at its western end until the park entrance is reached. The same cir- cuitous route must be taxen but in a northerly direction to reach the Presidio reservation. The putting of First avenue in condition between the two pleasure grounds will give an impetus to fancy driveways in the direction mentioned. But all this induce- ment, at a distant point, is claimed to be of very little benetit to the people of the Western Addition because of the d:fficulty in getting there. The present scheme is to bituminize Point Lobos avenue, as stated. This will make Post street, which is in first-class condition and free from car-tracks, the Iavorite driveway leading into Central berlain wasinterested. The greater part of the compensation was claimed for procuring tes- timony in favor cf Mrs. Chamberlain in estab- lishing her ciaim to the estate. Such & con- tract, the court declares, is against public policy and cannot be enforced. Touching the writing of articles ia the inte of the de- fendant, it was found that they were not au- thorized, and therefore nothing could be re- covered on that account.
